ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this 17th day of December, 2020 (the “Agreement Date”), by and between Deloitte & Touche LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership (“Seller”) and Model N, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”).

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, Seller and the Business Affiliates conduct a business of developing, marketing, distributing, selling, licensing and providing technology-driven outsourced operational and analytical software applications, tools and solutions (including the ExaLink platform, tools and applications and solutions relating to government pricing, Medicaid claims, rebates and fees, chargebacks, master data management, Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract administration and public law assistance, and class of trade and public health service classification) to the life sciences industry and related industries, and related implementation and support services for such technology-driven outsourced operational and analytical software applications, which is known as the Pricing and Contracting Solutions (PaCS) business, but excluding in each case consulting advisory services (the “Business”).

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell and assign to Buyer, and cause the Business Affiliates to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase and assume from Seller and the Business Affiliates, certain assets, properties and rights and certain liabilities and obligations, of Seller and the Business Affiliates on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and as a material inducement to the willingness of Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each of the employees set forth on Schedule A are executing employee offer letters or employment agreements with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, together with an employee proprietary information and inventions agreement (each, collectively, an “Offer Letter”), to become effective upon the Closing.

2.3 Liabilities

(a) Assumed Liabilities. In addition to the payment of the Purchase Price, Buyer shall assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge when due, all of the following (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(i) all liabilities and obligations arising out of or relating to the Acquired Assets, but only to the extent such liabilities and obligations arise out of Buyer’s operation of the Business or use or operation of the Acquired Assets after the Closing Date;

(ii) all liabilities and obligations under the Acquired Contracts (and to the extent that such Contracts are Shared Contracts, subject to Section 2.4) and the Acquired Leases, in each case to the extent such liabilities arise after the Closing Date, and do not relate to any tort, breach, default or violation by or on behalf of Seller or any Business Affiliate prior to the Closing, including all accounts payable of Seller or any Business Affiliate thereunder (the “Accounts Payable”) and Deferred Revenue thereunder;

(iii) all liabilities and obligations arising out of or relating to the Buyer’s employment of the Transferred Personnel as contemplated by Section 6.9(a), including all liabilities arising out of the employment or association of the Transferred Personnel by or with Buyer after the Closing Date, including obligations for salaries, wages, profit sharing plans, bonuses, retention payments and other liabilities; and

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto expressly agree that the Assumed Liabilities shall exclude any liability that (A) arises from Seller’s breach or default under the Acquired Contracts and Acquired Leases prior to the Closing, or (B) is an Excluded Liability.

(b) Excluded Liabilities. Buyer shall not assume, or in any way be liable or responsible for, any liability other than the Assumed Liabilities, including the following liabilities or obligations of Seller or the Business Affiliates (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”):

(i) any liability or obligation to the extent arising out of or related to the Excluded Assets;

(x) all liabilities arising from violations of or non-compliance with Financial Services Laws arising out of the operation of the Business on or prior to the Closing Date.

2.4 Approvals and Consents; Shared Contracts

(a) To the extent that the assignment by Seller or a Business Affiliate to Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof of any Acquired Asset or the assumption by Buyer of any Assumed Liability is not permitted without the consent of another Person or Persons or would otherwise constitute a breach or other contravention under any Contract or Law to which Seller or such Business Affiliate is a party or by which it is bound, or in any way adversely affects rights of Seller or such Business Affiliate or, upon transfer, Buyer, with respect to such Acquired Asset or Assumed Liability, this Agreement and the applicable Xxxx of Sale or Lease Assignment Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment of any such Acquired Asset or an assumption of any such Assumed Liability until such consent is obtained and is effective in accordance with its terms, and such asset (a “Contingent Asset”) shall only become an Acquired Asset and such liability (a “Contingent Liability”) shall only become an Assumed Liability at such time as such consent has been obtained and becomes effective in accordance with its terms.

(b) Buyer and Seller shall, and Seller shall cause any applicable Business Affiliate to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents or waivers required to assign to Buyer any Contingent Asset or Contingent Liability, without any conditions to such transfer (including the making of any payments) or changes or modifications of terms thereunder; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom consent or waiver is requested. Subject to Seller’s compliance with the immediately foregoing sentence, each party hereto agrees that no party hereto or their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to the

- 5 -

other party arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent that may be required in connection with the Transactions or because of any circumstances resulting therefrom.

(c) If any consent referred to in Section 2.4(a) above is not obtained prior to Closing for an Acquired Contract that is not a Contract with a Customer, and until any such consent is obtained, (i) Buyer and Seller will take commercially reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to provide Buyer with all of the benefits, and for Buyer to bear the costs and liabilities, in each case, arising after the Closing, with respect to such Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities, to the extent permitted by Law, (ii) Seller shall take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Buyer with respect to such Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities, (iii) Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller and any applicable Business Affiliates in any reasonable arrangement necessary to provide that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates are responsible for any obligation or liability (other than Excluded Liabilities) relating to or arising out of such Contingent Asset or Contingent Liability, and (iv) Seller shall not amend, modify or supplement in any way the terms of, or terminate, such Acquired Contract without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(d) If any consent referred to in Section 2.4(a) above is not obtained prior to Closing for an Acquired Contract that is a Contract with a Customer (including to the extent that such Contract with a Customer is a Shared Contract, the portion of each Shared Contract with such Customer relating to the Business), such Acquired Contract shall be subject to the Subcontractor Agreement as provided therein.

Article 3

CLOSING; THE PURCHASE PRICE; ALLOCATION

3.1 Closing

. The closing of the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, at 0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, at a time to be specified by Buyer and Seller which, if the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at the Closing) are satisfied by December 29, 2020, shall be on December 31, 2020, and otherwise shall be on such date as shall be specified by Buyer and Seller, but no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at the Closing), or at such other time, date and location as Buyer and Seller agree in writing (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be effective as of 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date.

3.2 Purchase Price

(a) Purchase Price. On the Closing Date, as consideration for the purchase of the Acquired Assets, and in addition to assuming the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall pay to Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account set forth in Exhibit A (or any other account communicated by Seller to Buyer in writing no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable payment date) the Closing Date Payment (as adjusted in accordance with and subject to Section 3.3, the “Purchase Price”).

- 6 -

(b) Closing Date Payment. The “Closing Date Payment” shall be an amount equal to:

(i) (A) Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000), plus (B) the Closing Adjustment Amount, if the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Net Working Capital Target;

(ii) (A) Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000), minus (B) the Closing Adjustment Amount, if the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Net Working Capital Target; and

(iii) (A) Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000), if the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is equal to the Net Working Capital Target.

(iv) For such purposes, the “Closing Adjustment Amount” shall equal the difference (expressed as a positive number), if any, between the Net Working Capital Target and the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount.

3.3 Adjustments to Purchase Price

(a) Delivery of Closing Statement. Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a written statement setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Amount”) and setting forth, in reasonable detail, Seller’s basis for such estimate (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement shall be substantially in the form of the Sample Net Working Capital Statement and shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the Seller Accounting Principles and shall otherwise be consistent with the Books and Records of the Business. Seller shall provide to Buyer such additional back-up or supporting data relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount as Buyer may reasonably request. A sample determination of the Net Working Capital Amount (for such purposes, substituting a reference to September 19, 2020 for the reference to the Closing Date in the definition of Net Working Capital Amount) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination is attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Sample Net Working Capital Statement”). The Sample Net Working Capital Statement shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the Seller Accounting Principles and shall otherwise be consistent with the Books and Records of the Business.

(b) Delivery of Post-Closing Statement. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a written statement setting forth Buyer’s determination of the Net Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date (the “Actual Net Working Capital Amount”), and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination (the “Post-Closing Statement”). The Post-Closing Statement shall be substantially in the form of the Sample Net Working Capital Statement and shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the Seller Accounting Principles and shall otherwise be consistent with the Books and Records of the Business. Buyer shall provide to Seller such additional back-up or supporting data relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Actual Net Working Capital Amount as Seller may reasonably request.

(c) Acceptance Period; Delivery of Dispute Notice. Seller may, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, provide Buyer with written notice (the “Post-Closing Statement Dispute Notice”) of its disagreement with the determination of the Actual Net Working

- 7 -

Capital Amount reflected on the Post-Closing Statement. If no such notice is delivered to Buyer by Seller within such period (or if Buyer otherwise delivers a notice of its acceptance of the Actual Net Working Capital Amount reflected on the Post-Closing Statement), the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Actual Net Working Capital Amount reflected thereon shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. A Post-Closing Statement Dispute Notice shall set forth Seller’s determination of the Actual Net Working Capital Amount and set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination. Seller shall provide to Buyer such additional back-up or supporting data relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement Dispute Notice and Seller’s calculation of the Actual Net Working Capital Amount contained therein as Buyer may reasonably request. Any items set forth on the Post-Closing Statement that Seller does not dispute in the Post-Closing Statement Dispute Notice shall be deemed final and shall be binding upon the parties hereto. Buyer and Seller shall endeavor in good faith to resolve any such disagreement within thirty (30) days (the “Negotiating Period”) following the delivery by Seller of such Post-Closing Statement Dispute Notice. Any resolution (including any partial resolution) of such a disagreement shall be set forth in a writing executed by Buyer and Seller, and any such resolution shall be final and binding on the parties hereto for purposes of determining the Actual Net Working Capital Amount.

(d) Determination of Disputes by Neutral Firm. If Buyer and Seller are unable to completely resolve any such disagreement within the Negotiating Period, the unresolved issues (the “Working Capital Dispute”) shall be promptly submitted for resolution to a recognized, reputable and impartial certified public accounting firm that is mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Neutral Firm”). If Buyer and Seller cannot agree upon a Neutral Firm within ten (10) days, the New York City office of the American Arbitration Association shall choose a nationally recognized, reputable and impartial certified public accounting firm (other than Deloitte LLP, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Ernst & Young LLP and KPMG LLP or any of their respective Affiliates) to act as the Neutral Firm. The parties shall instruct the Neutral Firm to (i) promptly (and, to the extent practicable, no later than sixty (60) days after the Neutral Firm’s receipt of such instructions) determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Neutral Firm shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Seller and Buyer, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and (ii) render a written report as to the resolution of the Working Capital Dispute which, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties for purposes of determining the Actual Net Working Capital Amount. In resolving any Working Capital Dispute, the Neutral Firm (A) shall be instructed to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.3(d) and (B) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. Neither Buyer nor Seller (or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives) shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Neutral Firm without reasonable prior notice (which notice shall provide the other party a reasonable opportunity to participate in such communications or meetings) to the other party. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller based on the inverse of the percentage that its determination (before such allocation) in favor of a party bears to the aggregate amount of the items in dispute as originally submitted to the Neutral Firm. By way of illustration and not limitation, assuming the items in dispute total an amount equal to $1,000 and the Neutral Firm awards $600 in favor of the Seller’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and 40% of such costs would be borne by Seller.

(e) Post-Closing Reconciliation.

(i) If the Actual Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d) is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital

- 8 -

Amount, the Reconciliation Payment shall be paid by Buyer to Seller. If the Actual Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d) is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, the Reconciliation Payment shall be paid by Seller to Buyer. If the Actual Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d) is equal to the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, no payment shall be required under this Section 3.3(e).

(ii) If a payment is required to be made by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, under Section 3.3(e)(i), such payment shall be made within five (5) days of the date on which the Actual Net Working Capital Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d), as the case may be, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as Seller or Buyer, as applicable, designates by written notice at least two (2) days prior to the date such payment is due.

(iii) If the Reconciliation Payment is not paid by the applicable party when such amount is due, then interest shall accrue monthly on such unpaid amount at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest per annum (over a year of 360 days) announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or any successor thereto) from time to time, as its “base rate” in effect on such date and 200 basis points.

3.4 Allocation

. The Purchase Price (plus all other capitalizable costs and all Assumed Liabilities to the extent properly taken into account pursuant to the Code) will be allocated for Tax purposes among the Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, as mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller. No portion of the Purchase Price shall be allocated in respect of the Lease Assignments. Seller shall submit a proposed allocation to Buyer not more than ninety (90) days after the date on which the Actual Net Working Capital Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d), as the case may be, and such proposed allocation shall be subject to consent from Buyer. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days from notice of such proposed allocation to object thereto. Any such objection shall be made by written notice to Seller and shall specify, in reasonable detail, the specific areas of Buyer’s disagreement with Seller’s proposed allocation and the reasons therefor. Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute relating to the proposed allocation (and any adjustments necessitated by adjustments to the Purchase Price); provided, that if Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any such dispute, neither Buyer nor Seller shall be bound by any portion of the proposed allocation as prepared by Seller, and each party may independently determine its own allocation of the Purchase Price and file its Tax Returns (and Tax Returns of its Affiliates) using alternative allocations of its choosing.

6.15 Independence Rules and Regulations

. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document to the contrary, if performance of or compliance with any agreement or covenant of Seller or an Affiliate under this Agreement or any Transaction Document (in each case, not already performed or complied with) is determined in good faith by Seller or its Affiliates to be inconsistent with or in violation of Seller’s or any such Affiliate’s obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of any Governmental Entity or professional entity (including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) that are applicable to Seller or its Affiliates or related entities (collectively, the “Independence Rules”), then Seller or such Affiliate (upon notice to Buyer) shall not be obligated to perform or comply with such agreement or covenant (to the extent not already performed or complied with but excluding payments for Buyer Indemnifiable Matters unless the payment of any such amount pursuant to this Agreement (if, as and when due), in and of itself would be inconsistent with or in violation of the Independence Rules) and Buyer shall not be entitled to receive any benefit in connection with such agreement or covenant. Seller shall, however, use reasonable good faith efforts to, and to cause the Business Affiliates to, cooperate with Buyer in an attempt to address such circumstances in a manner intended to minimize the adverse impact on the rights of the parties hereto.

It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedy to which Buyer is entitled at law or in equity in respect of a breach of this Section 6.18, Buyer shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Section 6.18 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving either actual damages or the absence of adequate remedies at law.

6.20 Supplement to Schedules

. Prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall, if they so mutually agree in writing, supplement or amend Schedule 2.1(a) to (i) add any Contract entered into by Seller after the date hereof and before Closing, and any such Contract shall be deemed an “Acquired Contract” for all purposes under this Agreement, and (ii) remove from Schedule 2.1(a) any Contract as to which Seller or counterparty as of the Closing Date no longer has any obligations, which shall thereafter no longer be deemed an “Acquired Contract” for any purpose under this Agreement.

After the Closing, each party shall from time to time, at the request of and without further cost or expense to the other, execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and assumption and take such other actions as may be reasonably required in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and make effective the Transactions. If, at any time after the Agreement Date, Buyer in good faith identifies in writing to Seller (each such written identification, an “Additional Asset Request”) any asset of Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates that was not included in the Acquired Assets but exclusively relates to the Business (excluding any Excluded Asset that is set forth on Schedule 2.2(f) or constitutes a Shared Service) (any such asset, an “Additional Asset”), then Seller shall, or cause such Affiliate, as applicable, to, sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver, or cause to be sold, transferred, conveyed, assigned and delivered, to Buyer at (in the case of

- 36 -

assets identified between the Agreement Date and the Closing Date) or after the Closing (in the case of assets identified after the Closing Date), without any further payment by Buyer, all of Seller’s or such Affiliate’s, as applicable, right, title and interest in and to such Additional Asset.

Such Claim Notice by the Indemnitee shall contain (i) a description of the Claim in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by the Indemnitee), including copies of any material written evidence thereof, (ii) the amount of any Losses incurred, paid, reserved or accrued or reasonably expected to be incurred, paid, reserved or accrued by the Indemnitee (which, in the case of Losses not yet incurred may be the maximum amount believed by the Indemnitee in good faith to be incurred, paid, reserved or accrued), including reasonable supporting documentation in respect of the determination of such amount, to the extent available, (iii) a statement that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII for such Losses, and (iv) a demand for payment in the amount of such Losses.

- 41 -

as the delivery of the original Claim Notice is made within the applicable Claims Period and such update or amendment relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Claims Notice; provided that all claims for Losses properly set forth in a Claim Notice or any update or amendment thereto will remain outstanding until such claims have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. The failure by the Indemnitee to timely give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation under this Agreement, except to the extent, if any, that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnitee of a Claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitor may elect to assume and control the defense of such Claim by providing counsel (such counsel subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnitee) to defend the Indemnitee against the matter from which the Third Party Claim arose, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relate to or arise in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) involves monetary damages in excess of the amounts that the Indemnitor would otherwise be liable for pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, (iii) seeks specific performance or injunctive relief against the Indemnitee, (iv) alleges, or seeks a finding or admission of, a violation of Law by the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, (v) the Indemnitor failed or is failing to diligently prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim, (vi) the Indemnitor is also a party to such claim and the Indemnitee determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (vii) would materially and adversely affect the ongoing business (including any dispute with any material customer, supplier or employee) of the Indemnitee (including, in the case of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the Business). In circumstances where the Indemnitor is assuming control of the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.4(b), the Indemnitee shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, and at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, with the Indemnitor in the investigation, trial, defense and any appeal arising from the matter from which the Third Party Claim arose; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may (but shall not be obligated to) participate in (but not control) any such investigation, trial, defense and any appeal arising in connection with the Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense. If the Indemnitee elects to so participate, the Indemnitor shall cooperate with the Indemnitee, and, in any event, regardless of such participation, the Indemnitor shall deliver to the Indemnitee or its counsel copies of all pleadings and other information within the Indemnitor’s knowledge or possession reasonably requested by the Indemnitee or its counsel that is relevant to the defense of such Third Party Claim and that will not prejudice the Indemnitor’s position, claims or defenses. The Indemnitor shall have the right to elect to settle any Third Party Claim without the Indemnitee’s consent only if (A) the settlement is for only monetary damages, the full amount of which shall be paid by the Indemnitor, and (B) the settlement includes, as a condition thereof, an express, unconditional release of the Indemnitee from any liability or obligation with respect to such Third Party Claim without any admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnitee and without any restrictions on any future actions of the Indemnitee and (C) the Indemnitee does not have any obligation or liability with respect to such settlement. Any other settlement will be subject to the consent of the Indemnitee. If the subject of any Third Party Claim results in a judgment or settlement consistent with the terms of this Section 8.4(b) for which the Indemnitor is liable hereunder, the Indemnitor shall promptly pay such judgment or settlement.

(c) If the Indemnitor elects not to, or is not entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of Section 8.4(b), the Indemnitee may defend against the subject of the Third Party Claim, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnitee reasonably deems appropriate, including settling the subject of the Third Party Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, any such costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection

- 42 -

with such defense, settlement or resolution, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs, will be included as Losses indemnifiable hereunder regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that such Third Party Claim was caused by or arose or resulted from a matter listed in Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, as applicable; provided that the Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior consent. If the Indemnitee defends the subject of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.4(c), the Indemnitor shall cooperate with the Indemnitee and its counsel, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, in all reasonable respects, and shall deliver to the Indemnitee or its counsel copies of all pleadings and other information within the Indemnitor’s knowledge or possession reasonably requested by the Indemnitee or its counsel that are relevant to the defense of the subject of any such Third Party Claim and that will not prejudice the Indemnitor’s position, claims or defenses. The Indemnitee shall maintain confidentiality with respect to all such information consistent with the conduct of a defense hereunder.

8.5 Notice of Claims; Resolution

. In the case of a Claim that is not a Third Party Claim covered by Section 8.4(b) and Section 8.4(c) hereof, during the thirty (30) day period immediately following the date on which the Claim Notice is received (the “Mediation Period”), the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor will exercise good faith efforts to resolve the dispute. In the event that such dispute is not resolved by such parties prior to the expiration of the Mediation Period, either Buyer or Seller may commence an arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 10.3 with respect to the matter. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Notice shall be non-appealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto.

8.6 Limitations

(a) Threshold. Neither a Buyer Indemnified Party nor Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make a claim for indemnification for any Losses pursuant to Sections 8.2(a) or (b) or Section 8.3(a), as applicable, until the aggregate amount of all claims for Losses by all Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, exceeds Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the “Threshold”), in which event Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall be responsible only for Losses exceeding the Threshold, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 8.6.

(b) Buyer Cap. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to: (i) Section 8.3(a) shall not exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), and (ii) Sections 8.3(b) and/or (c) shall not exceed the Purchase Price; provided that, for purposes of determining satisfaction of the foregoing caps, such amounts are inclusive of all other Losses for which Buyer is liable hereunder or which were previously recovered from Buyer hereunder. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to Sections 8.3(a), (b) and (c) shall not exceed the Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in the preceding sentences shall not apply to Losses arising pursuant to Sections 8.3(d) or (e), Buyer’s liability for which shall be uncapped.

(c) Seller Cap. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to: (i) Section 8.2(a) shall not exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), (ii) Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(b) shall not, in the aggregate, exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), and (iii) Section 8.2(a) through Section 8.2(d) shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the Purchase Price. For the

- 43 -

avoidance of doubt the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence shall not apply to Losses arising pursuant to Section 8.2(e) or (f), Seller’s liability for which shall be uncapped.

(d) Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary:

(i) the amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE VIII shall be net of any amounts covered under insurance policies in effect and applicable to such Loss (including the R&W Insurance Policy) (such recoveries, however, calculated net of any collection costs and reserves, expenses, deductibles or premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums (as determined in good faith by an Indemnitee) incurred or paid to procure such recoveries); provided that, other than pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy, no Indemnitee will have any obligation to seek to obtain or continue to pursue any such recoveries under insurance policies;

(ii) each party agrees that it will not seek, and is not entitled to, indemnification for special, punitive or exemplary damages as to any matter under, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, under any form of action whatsoever, whether in contract or otherwise, even if the other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages, except, in each case, for recovery of those payable by an Indemnitee in respect of a Third Party Claim;

(iii) (A) the rights and remedies of the Indemnitees after the Closing shall not be limited by (x) any investigation by or on behalf of, or disclosure to (other than in the Seller Disclosure Schedule, subject to any limitations expressly set forth therein), any Indemnitee at or prior to the Closing regarding any failure, breach or other event or circumstance or (y) any waiver of any condition to the Closing related thereto and (B) if an Indemnitee’s Claim under this ARTICLE VIII may be properly characterized in multiple ways in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII such that such Claim may or may not be subject to different limitations depending on such characterization, then such Indemnitee shall have the right to characterize such claim in a manner that maximizes the recovery and time to assert such Claim permitted in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII;

(iv) notwithstanding Section 8.6(d)(iii) or anything to the contrary set forth herein, no party shall be entitled to any payment, adjustment or indemnification more than once with respect to the same matter; and

(v) Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder.

(e) The indemnification provisions contained herein are intended solely for the benefit of the Persons expressly identified in this ARTICLE VIII (and their permitted successors and assigns) and are in no way intended to, nor shall they, constitute an agreement for the benefit of, or be enforceable by, any other Person.

8.7 Payment

. In the event that any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or (c), if and to the extent such matters are covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, Buyer shall first seek and use commercially reasonable efforts to recover against all reasonably available

- 44 -

remedies under the R&W Insurance Policy, and shall only recover from Seller to the extent such Losses have exceeded the policy limit set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy, and solely to the extent otherwise recoverable in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 8.6.

8.8 Adjustment to Purchase Price

. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

8.9 Exclusive Remedy

. The indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE VIII shall be the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ and the Seller Indemnified Parties’ exclusive remedy with respect to any breach, inaccuracy, failure to perform or comply, default, or violation of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit any party’s rights to seek equitable remedies otherwise available to such party.

Article 9

TERMINATION

9.1 Termination

. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by written agreement of Seller and Buyer;

(b) by Seller by written notice to Buyer:

(i) if Buyer has materially breached its obligations under this Agreement and such breach (A) remains uncured for a period of at least thirty (30) days after written notice thereof has been given by the non-breaching party to the breaching party and (B) cannot be cured prior to the Drop Dead Date; or

(ii) if there shall have been a breach of any representation or warranty by Buyer set forth in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 7.3 would not be satisfied and such breach (A) remains uncured for a period of at least thirty (30) days after written notice thereof has been given by the non-breaching party to the breaching party and (B) cannot be cured prior to the Drop Dead Date;

(i) if Seller has materially breached its obligations under this Agreement and such breach (A) remains uncured for a period of at least thirty (30) days after written notice thereof has been given by the non-breaching party to the breaching party and (B) cannot be cured prior to the Drop Dead Date; or

(ii) if there shall have been a breach of any representation or warranty by Seller set forth in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2(b) would not be satisfied and such breach (A) remains uncured for a period of at least thirty (30) days after written

- 45 -

notice thereof has been given by the non-breaching party to the breaching party and (B) cannot be cured prior to the Drop Dead Date; or

(d) by either Seller or Buyer, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before February 15, 2021 (the “Drop Dead Date”);

provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1 shall not be available to a party whose failure to take any action required hereunder to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur prior to such date or a party that is in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement at the time of such termination. The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall give notice of such termination to the other party.

9.2 Effect of Termination

. If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party to this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 6.2(c) and ARTICLE X shall survive any termination of this Agreement; and provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from liability for intentional breach of this Agreement prior to termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1. Without limitation, nothing in this Section 9.2 shall limit or prevent a party from exercising any rights or remedies it may have under Section 10.7 to compel the occurrence of the Closing hereunder prior to termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1.

10.2 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries

. This Agreement, together with the Transaction Documents, and the Nondisclosure Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among any of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Except for the rights of any Seller Indemnified Parties or Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to ARTICLE VIII, no provisions of this Agreement are intended, nor should they be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or remedies, or any other rights or remedies, of any kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement in any Person, or the legal representatives of such Person, other than the parties to this Agreement.

10.3 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction

- 47 -

(a) All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents shall be governed, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by, and construed in accordance with, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and fully performed within the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of Laws that might otherwise apply the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) IN THE EVENT THAT A RESOLUTION IS NOT REACHED AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER WRITTEN NOTICE OF ANY DISPUTE WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE FINALLY SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. THE SEAT, OR LEGAL PLACE, OF ARBITRATION SHALL BE IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE. SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN ENGLISH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CPR RULES FOR NON-ADMINISTERED ARBITRATION (THE “CPR ARBITRATION RULES”) IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE ARBITRATION, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT MODIFIED BY THIS SECTION 10.3(b). THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED BEFORE A PANEL OF THREE ARBITRATORS. Each of the parties shall designate one arbitrator in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in the CPR ARBITRATION Rules and the two party-designated arbitrators shall jointly select the third in accordance with the CPR ARBITRATION Rules. No arbitrator may serve on the panel unless he or she has agreed in writing to abide by the terms of this Section 10.3(b). THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT EVIDENCES A TRANSACTION INVOLVING INTERSTATE COMMERCE. Except with respect to the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration procedures (which shall be GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (9 U.S.C., SECS. 1-16)), the arbitrators shall apply the governing law set forth in Section 10.3(a) in connection with the Dispute. No discovery shall be permitted in connection with the arbitration, except to the extent that it is expressly authorized by the arbitrators upon a showing of substantial need by the party seeking discovery. THE AWARD OF ARBITRATION SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING UPON THE PARTIES HERETO. Further, judgment on the arbitrators’ award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs in the arbitration; however, the parties shall share the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and all arbitration case management fees equally. NOTWITHSTANDING THE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING OT THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES MAY APPLY TO A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO SEEK TO ENJOIN PRELIMINARILY OR PERMANENTLY ANY BREACH OR THREATENED BREACH OF SECTION 6.2(c).

(c) Subject to the foregoing clause (b), each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware. Each party hereto also hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court and further waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding which has been brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. In addition to any other form of service of process authorized by Law, service of process in any suit, action or proceeding hereunder shall be sufficient if mailed to the address specified in Section 10.1, and such service shall constitute “personal service” for purposes of such suit or proceeding.

10.4 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury

. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A

- 48 -

TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTION.

10.5 Assignment

. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned by Buyer or Seller, without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any or all rights and obligations of Buyer may be assigned to one or more wholly owned subsidiaries of Buyer, so long as such assignment does not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.6 Waiver; Amendment; Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance

(a) No waiver of any term, condition or obligation of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the waiving party. No failure or delay by any party hereto at any time to require the other parties hereto to perform strictly in accordance with the terms hereof shall preclude any party from requiring performance by the other parties hereto at any later time. No waiver of any one or several of the terms, conditions or obligations of this Agreement, and no partial waiver thereof, shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other terms, conditions or obligations of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended, changed or modified in any fashion except by written instrument signed by Buyer and Seller.

(b) All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

(c) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage may occur if any provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or are otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

10.7 Fees and Expenses

. All fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the Transactions shall be the responsibility of and paid by the party incurring such fees, costs or expenses.

10.8 Mutual Drafting

. The parties hereto are sophisticated and have been represented by attorneys throughout the Transactions who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not intend that the presumptions of any Law or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied to this Agreement or any agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith, and therefore waive their effects.

- 49 -

10.9 Representation by Counsel

(a) Each party hereto acknowledges that such party has been advised and represented by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and accordingly agrees that if an ambiguity exists with respect to any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall not be construed against any party because such party or such party’s representatives drafted such provision.

(b) Buyer agrees that, after the Closing, neither Buyer, nor any of its Affiliates will have any right to access or control any of Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP’s records relating to or affecting the Transactions with respect to its representation of Seller or the Business, which will be and remain the property of (and be controlled by) Seller. In addition, Buyer agrees that it would be impractical to remove all attorney-client communications from the records (including e-mails and other electronic files) of the Business. Accordingly, Buyer shall not knowingly and intentionally use any attorney-client communication remaining in the records of the Business after Closing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to be adverse to Seller. Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, that from and after Closing (i) the attorney-client privilege, all other evidentiary privileges, and the expectation of client confidence as to all attorney-client communications belong to Seller and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or its Affiliates, and (ii) Seller shall have the exclusive right to control, assert or waive the attorney-client privilege, any other evidentiary privilege, and the expectation of client confidence with respect to such attorney-client communications. Accordingly, Buyer shall not (x) assert any attorney-client privilege, other evidentiary privilege, or expectation of client confidence with respect to any attorney-client communication, except in the event of a post-Closing dispute with a Person that is not Seller or an Affiliate of Seller; or (y) knowingly and intentionally take any action which would reasonably be expected to cause any attorney-client communication to cease being a confidential communication or to otherwise lose protection under the attorney-client privilege or any other evidentiary privilege, including waiving such protection in any dispute with a Person that is not Seller or an Affiliate of Seller.

10.10 Severability

. If any term or other provision of this Agreement shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

10.11 Facsimile Signature; Counterparts

. Facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format of any signed original document or retransmission of any signed facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format will be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
