1.1Purchase of Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing Seller will (or will cause another member of the Company Group to) sell, transfer, assign and deliver to Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer nominated by Buyer), and Buyer (or such Affiliate of Buyer) will purchase from Seller (or such other member of the Company Group), all right, title and interest of Seller (or such other member of the Company Group) in the following assets :

(a)the Agreements set forth in Schedule 1-A, including rights to receive payment, goods or services and to assert claims and take other actions thereunder, of any and all Active Agreements (the “Acquired Agreements”);

(b)the Intellectual Property Assets, including the Intellectual Property set forth in Schedule 1-B (collectively, the “Acquired IP”);

(c)the Leases set forth in Schedule 1-C (the “Acquired Leases”); and

(d)all other properties, assets and rights of every nature, whether real, personal, tangible, intangible or otherwise and whether now existing or hereinafter acquired, owned (directly or indirectly) by the Company Group and relating to or used or held for use in connection with the Business except for the Excluded Assets (the “Acquired Seller Assets” and, together with the Acquired Agreements, the Acquired IP, and the Acquired Leases, the “Assets”).

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at Closing, the Assets shall be transferred to Buyer free and clear of all liabilities, obligations, liens and Encumbrances excepting only Assumed Liabilities and Permitted Encumbrances.

1.2Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.1 or elsewhere in the Agreement, Seller will retain and not sell transfer, assign or deliver, and Buyer will not purchase or acquire, the assets set forth in Schedule 1-D (the “Excluded Assets”).

1.3Assumption of Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing Buyer shall assume and agree to pay, perform, assume and discharge when due the following liabilities existing at or arising on or after the Closing Date (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(a)all liabilities relating to the Assets, including trade and other accounts payable as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, that have been incurred in the ordinary course of business and are reflected on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet included in the Estimated Closing Statement;

(b)all Taxes imposed with respect to, arising out of, or relating to the operation of the Business or the ownership of the Assets on or following the Closing Date;

(c)all Liabilities arising after the Closing in respect of the Contracts and Governmental Approvals included in the Assets (other than Liabilities attributable to any failure by the Company Group to comply with the terms thereof prior to the Closing), including, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s duties to pay residual compensation to Seller’s agents and affiliates (to the extent such duties arise under such Contracts and are not the result of a breach or failure to perform by the Company Group); and

(d)all Liabilities in respect of Transferred Employees arising after the Closing, other than any Liabilities retained by Seller or its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 5.1.

1.4Excluded Liabilities. Except as set forth in Section 1.3 or any other provision hereof, Buyer shall not assume any Liabilities of any kind whatsoever (including Taxes of Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller, except as provided in Section 4.10 (Transfer Taxes) and Section 4.11 (Apportioned Obligations) hereof) relating to or arising out of the operation of the Business or the ownership of the Assets on or prior to the Closing other than the Assumed Liabilities (the “Excluded Liabilities”), including, without limitation, (a) any Liabilities in respect of Transaction Expenses, or (b) any Liabilities in respect of Indebtedness.

1.5Consent of Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any interest in any Permit or Contract or any claim or right arising thereunder if such assignment or transfer without the consent or approval of a Third Party would constitute a Breach thereof or affect adversely the rights of Buyer thereunder, and any such transfer or assignment shall be made subject to such consent or approval being obtained. In the event any such consent or approval is not obtained prior to Closing the Closing shall occur without any adjustment to the Purchase Price and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent or approval after the Closing, and Seller will cooperate with Buyer in any lawful and economically feasible arrangement to provide that Buyer shall receive the interest of Seller in the benefits under any such Permit or Contract (in which case, for avoidance of doubt, the associated Taxes shall be Assumed Liabilities), including performance by Seller as agent, provided that Buyer shall undertake to pay or satisfy the corresponding liabilities for the enjoyment of such benefit to the extent Buyer would have been responsible therefor if such consent or approval had been obtained. Seller shall bear all reasonable costs of seeking any such consent or approval. Nothing in this Section 1.5 shall be deemed a waiver by Buyer of its right to receive prior to Closing an effective assignment of all of the Assets nor shall this Section 1.5 be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Assets any assets described under Section 1.1.

1.6Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price payable to Seller for the Assets shall equal (i) Two Million Four Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand dollars ($2,499,000), subject to adjustment as set forth herein (such aggregate amount, the “Closing Purchase Price”), plus (ii) 16.66% of the Earnout Amount (as defined in, and to be paid pursuant to the percentages set forth in Section 1.12(d) of, that certain Asset Purchase Agreement among Parent, Buyer, Flow Payments LLC and the other parties thereto dated as of the date hereof) (if any) (together with the Closing Purchase Price, the “Purchase Price”). The Closing Purchase Price shall consist of the following:

(a)An amount in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) equal to One Million Nine Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand and Two Hundred dollars ($1,999,200) (the “Base Cash Consideration”), plus Closing Cash, plus the Closing Working Capital Excess Amount (if any), less the Closing Working Capital Deficiency Amount (if any), payable at the times and in the manner set forth in Section 1.7; and

(b)A number of shares of common stock of Parent (the “Parent Stock”) equal to Four Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand and Eight Hundred dollars ($499,800) divided by the Closing VWAP (the “Shares”), payable at the times and in the manner set forth in Section 1.7.

(e)Buyer or Parent shall issue, or cause to be issued, to Seller (x) the Non-Indemnity Holdback Shares in book-entry form, and Buyer or Parent shall cause the record ownership of such Non-Indemnity Holdback Shares to be in the name of Seller (or in the names and percentage allocations of such other Persons as Seller may request via written notice to Buyer and Parent on a date that is no less than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, all of whom shall be members of Seller), and (y) the Indemnity Holdback Shares in certificated form, and Buyer or Parent shall cause the record ownership of such Indemnity Holdback Shares to be in the name of Seller, subject to the Indemnity Holdback Share Pledge and the share lockup restrictions set forth in Section 1.9(c)(iii); provided, that, Buyer, Parent and Seller agree that if the Non-Indemnity Holdback Shares are issued directly to the members of Seller, each of the parties hereto shall treat each such issuance of shares for all Tax reporting purposes as a transfer to Seller, followed by a transfer by Seller to its members; and

(f)the Parties shall deliver or cause to be delivered the documents set forth in Section 1.10.

1.8Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the purchase and sale of the Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities contemplated hereby shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at 10:00 am, Eastern time, on the date that is not more than five (5) Business Days after the last of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date), at the offices of Xxxxxxx Procter LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, or remotely via electronic exchange of documents and signatures, or at such other time or on such other date or at such other place as Seller and Buyer may mutually agree upon in writing (the day on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”); provided that any requirement to deliver documents at the Closing may be satisfied by the electronic delivery of facsimile or portable document format signatures in accordance with Section 9.5.

1.9Estimated Closing Statement; Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)Estimated Closing Statement. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) consisting of (i) Seller’s good faith estimate in reasonable detail (in each case

determined as of the Calculation Time, without giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to take place at the Closing, in accordance with the Accounting Principles) of (x) the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), (x) Closing Cash (“Estimated Closing Cash”), (y) Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”) and each element thereof, (z) the amount by which such Estimated Closing Working Capital differs from the Target Closing Working Capital (which may positive, negative or zero) and (ii) the Payoff Amount. If the Estimated Closing Working Capital as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement is greater than Target Closing Working Capital, the “Estimated Working Capital Excess Amount” shall equal Estimated Closing Working Capital minus Target Closing Working Capital. If the Estimated Closing Working Capital as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement is less than Target Closing Working Capital, the “Estimated Working Capital Deficiency Amount” shall equal Target Closing Working Capital minus Estimated Closing Working Capital. The “Estimated Cash Consideration” for purposes of Section 1.7 shall equal the Base Cash Consideration, plus the Estimated Closing Cash, plus the Estimated Working Capital Excess Amount (if any), less the Estimated Closing Working Capital Deficiency Amount (if any).

(b)Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment. No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver a statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) consisting of the Buyer’s good faith estimate in reasonable detail (and, in each case, determined as of the Calculation Time without giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to take place at the Closing) and in accordance with the Accounting Principles, (i) the Closing Balance Sheet, (ii) the Closing Cash, (iii) the Closing Working Capital, (iv) the Closing Working Capital Excess Amount (if any), (v) the Closing Working Capital Deficiency Amount (if any), and (vi) the Cash Consideration.

The Final Closing Statement and the Cash Consideration set forth therein shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and deemed accepted by Seller, unless within forty-five (45) days after Seller’s receipt thereof, Seller provides Buyer with a written Objection Notice with respect to the Final Closing Statement (an “Objection Notice”). The Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail each item on the Final Closing Statement that Seller disputes and the nature of any objection so asserted and shall be limited to disputes or objections based on mathematical errors or based on Cash Consideration not being calculated in accordance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, not being calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles). Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all amounts and items contained in the Final Closing Statement to the extent such amounts and items are not raised in the Objection Notice. If Seller properly delivers an Objection Notice, any dispute raised therein shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 1.11.

(c)Final Cash Consideration. The Cash Consideration shall be finally determined pursuant to Section 1.9(b) and, if applicable, Section 1.11. No later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Cash Consideration is finally determined:

(i)if Cash Consideration equals or exceeds Estimated Cash Consideration, then (x) Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount in cash equal to any excess of Cash Consideration over Estimated Cash Consideration (without any interest thereon) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Seller and (y) Buyer and Seller shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to release the full Adjustment Holdback Amount to Seller;

(ii)if Estimated Cash Consideration exceeds Cash Consideration, then Buyer and Seller shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to (x) release to Buyer from the Adjustment Holdback Amount an amount equal to such excess and (y) to the extent the Adjustment Holdback Amount is greater than such excess, to release to Seller any remaining portion of the Adjustment Holdback Amount; and

(iii)if Estimated Cash Consideration exceeds Cash Consideration, and the excess is greater than the Adjustment Holdback Amount, (x) Buyer and Seller shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to release to Buyer the full amount of the Adjustment Holdback Amount and (y) Seller shall pay to Buyer, in cash (without any interest thereon), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Buyer, an amount equal to (1) the excess of Estimated Cash Consideration over Cash Consideration minus (2) the Adjustment Holdback Amount, and (z) if Seller fails to make the payment to Buyer pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) then, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Buyer, Buyer shall be entitled to claim any amounts due to Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.9(c)(iii) from the Indemnity Holdback Amount.

(d)Indemnity Holdback Amount. Until (and including) the Holdback Release Date, and in order to secure Seller’s indemnification obligations set forth in Article VII, (i) the Escrow Agent will retain the Indemnity Escrow Holdback Amount, which shall be paid or released in accordance with Section 7.6(c), (ii) Seller will retain, and will not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise distribute to its members or any other Person, any right, title or interest of any kind in the Indemnity Holdback Shares, other than as contemplated by Article VII (the “Indemnity Holdback Restriction”), and (iii) Seller will grant to Buyer a perfected first priority security interest in the Indemnity Holdback Shares (the “Indemnity Holdback Share Pledge”).

(vi)duly executed counterparts to at-will on-boarding documentation of Key Employees;

(vii)a duly executed counterpart to the Escrow Agreement; and

(viii)such other documents as the Seller may reasonably request to effect the intent of this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

1.11Post-Closing Dispute Resolution Procedures. During the thirty (30) Business Day period following the date on which a proper Objection Notice is received by Buyer, Buyer and Seller shall seek in good faith to resolve any objections contained therein. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve the dispute within such thirty (30) Business Day period, then any disputed matter set forth in the Objection Notice, as the case may be, that remains unresolved shall be submitted by Buyer for final determination to Xxxxxx LLP or, if Xxxxxx LLP declines to serve, such other independent accounting firm of national reputation selected by the mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Independent Accounting Firm shall, based solely on the presentations made by Buyer and Seller and within thirty (30) days after its appointment, render a written report as to the calculation of the Closing Working Capital; provided that in no event shall the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination of Cash Consideration, as the case may be, be outside the range of disagreement between Buyer and Seller. The Independent Accounting Firm shall have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resort to the Independent Accounting Firm shall be the sole recourse and remedy of the Parties against one another or any other Person with respect to, any disputes arising out of or relating to the calculation of Cash Consideration; provided that no Party will be precluded by this sentence from enforcing the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties and shall be enforceable in a court of law. In connection with the resolution of any dispute, each Party shall pay its own fees and expenses, including legal, accounting and consultant fees and expenses. The Independent Accounting Firm shall calculate the allocation of its fees and expenses between Buyer and Seller based upon a fraction (expressed as a percentage), (x) the numerator of which is the aggregate dollar value of the amount of Cash

Consideration actually contested that is not awarded to Buyer or Seller (as the case may be) and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate dollar value of Cash Consideration actually contested between the Parties. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount of Cash Consideration actually contested by each of Buyer or Seller shall be determined by reference to their respective written presentations submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.11. For example and solely for the purposes of illustration, if Seller claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Buyer and if the Independent Accounting Firm ultimately resolves such dispute by awarding to Seller $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the dispute resolution process contemplated by this Section 1.11 will be allocated 30% (i.e., 300 divided by 1,000, expressed as a percentage) to Buyer and 70% (i.e., 700 divided by 1,000, expressed as a percentage) to Seller.

1.12Reserved.

1.13Withholding Rights. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of any payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided that Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Seller of such amounts and provide Seller or the relevant recipient a reasonable opportunity to mitigate or eliminate any withholding with respect to payments pursuant to this Agreement and the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to eliminate any withholding on payments made pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Buyer and properly remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller. Buyer shall timely pay such withheld amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority. As of the date hereof, Buyer is not aware of any withholding obligations under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law that would require Buyer to deduct or withhold any amounts pursuant to this Section 1.13, subject to receipt of Seller’s IRS Form W-9.

1.14Allocation of Purchase Price. Buyer and Seller agree upon the allocation of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities (the “Aggregate Consideration”) as set forth on Schedule 1.14, subject to adjustments of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.9 and, if applicable, Section 1.11 (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule shall comply with the allocation method required by Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, shall reflect the parties’ agreement as to the fair market value of each of the Assets immediately prior to Closing, and shall be reflected on IRS Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060), and shall be used by the Parties in preparing their respective income tax returns. The Parties covenant and agree with each other that none of them will take a position on any income tax return or in any other proceeding that is in any way inconsistent with the allocation set forth on Schedule 1.14, subject to adjustments of the Aggregate Consideration (with such adjustments to be allocated among the Assets as reasonably agreed by the parties), except as otherwise required by a taxing authority subsequent to an audit defended in good faith.

1.15Tax Treatment. Any payment by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 1.9 or Article VII will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

7.2Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, Seller shall indemnify and defend Buyer, its Affiliates and its representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Buyer Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a)any inaccuracy in or Breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement (except for representations and warranties made as of a specific date, the inaccuracy or Breach of which will be determined with reference to such date);

(b)any Breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement; and

(c)the Excluded Liabilities.

7.3Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, Parent and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and defend Seller, the Owners, their Affiliates and their representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(b)any Breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Parent or Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and

(c)the Assumed Liabilities.

7.4Limitation on Indemnification. The party making a claim under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” The indemnification provided for in Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 hereof shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a)The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses suffered in respect of indemnification under Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a) exceeds $75,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(b)The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a), as the case may be, shall not exceed the sum of (x) the Indemnity Escrow Holdback Amount plus (y) the aggregate Market Value of the Indemnity Holdback Shares (the “Cap”).

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Sections 7.4(a) and (b) above shall not apply to Losses arising out of or resulting from any Breach of the Fundamental Representations; provided that in no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller for all Losses arising under this Agreement exceed the Purchase Price actually received by Seller.

(d)For purposes of this Article VII, calculations of the amount of any Losses arising out of or resulting from any inaccuracy, Breach or non-fulfillment shall be made without regard to any reference to “Material Adverse Effect,” “materiality” or any other correlative materiality qualifications.

(e)The amount of any and all Losses under this Article VII shall exclude exemplary, punitive, special, consequential and indirect damages, loss of income or revenue, loss of anticipated or future business or profits, loss of reputation, opportunity cost, diminution in value and Losses based on any type of multiplier (including “multiple of EBITDA,” “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow”) or other similar valuation methodology, except to the extent actually awarded to a Third Party in an Action brought against an Indemnified Party.

(f)The amount of Losses recoverable from an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall be calculated net of the amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments or reimbursements actually received by the Indemnified Party from Third Parties in respect of such Losses.

7.5Notice of Claims.

(a)Any Indemnified Party shall, within the limitation period provided for in Section 7.1, give, in the case of indemnification sought by: (i) any Seller Indemnified Party, to Buyer; or (ii) any Buyer Indemnified Party, to Seller, a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) that

includes a general description of the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder that is the subject of the Claim Notice (if and to the extent then known), a good faith estimate of the amount of such claim and a reference to the provision of this Agreement upon which such claim is based along with disclosure of any policy of insurance which may afford coverage for all or part of such claim. A Claim Notice shall be given promptly following the claimant’s determination that facts or events give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder; provided that the failure to give such written notice (i) shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent it shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure, and (ii) shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any other obligation or liability it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article VII.

(b)An Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days after the receipt of any proper Claim Notice pursuant hereto to: (i) agree to the amount set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Indemnification Amount”) and to pay or cause to be paid such amount to such Indemnified Party (A) in the case of a claim by the Seller Indemnified Parties, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, or (B) in the case of a claim by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, (1) by the Buyer and Seller jointly directing the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnity Escrow Holdback Amount an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Indemnification Amount, and (2) by Seller transferring back to Parent or a nominee thereof (for no consideration) from the Indemnity Holdback Shares the number of shares of Parent Stock equal to (x) twenty percent (20%) of the Indemnification Amount divided by (y) the Market Value as of the date of the Claim Notice; or (ii) provide such Indemnified Party with written notice that it disagrees with the claim set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Dispute Notice”). For a period of sixty (60) days after the giving of any Dispute Notice, a representative of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the matter. In the event that the controversy is not resolved within sixty (60) days after the date the Dispute Notice is given, the Parties may thereupon proceed to pursue any and all available remedies at law. If the Indemnifying Party agrees to the Claim Notice pursuant to clause (i) above or fails to provide a timely Dispute Notice pursuant to clause (ii) above, then: (x) if the Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnified Party, Buyer shall be entitled to the indemnification payment released by the Escrow Agent as contemplated by Section 7.5(b)(i)(B), or (y) if the Indemnified Party is a Seller Indemnified Party, then Buyer shall, using its own immediately available funds, pay Seller the amount set forth in the Claim Notice.

7.6Third Party Claims.

(a)If a claim by a third Person (including any audit, notice or request for information from a Tax Regulatory Authority) (a “Third Party Claim”) is made against an Indemnified Party, and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article VII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify: (i) Buyer, in the case of indemnification sought by any Seller Indemnified Party; or (ii) Seller, in the case of indemnification sought by any Buyer Indemnified Party, in writing of such claims (a “Third Party Claim Notice”). The Third Party Claim Notice shall include a general description of the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder that is the subject of the Third Party Claim Notice, (if and to the extent then known) the amount or an estimate of the amount of such claim and all material documentation relevant to the claim described in the Third Party Claim Notice. A Third Party Claim Notice shall be given promptly following the claimant’s determination that facts or events give rise to a claim

for indemnification hereunder; provided that in respect of any Action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the Action or suit is commenced; and provided, further, that the failure to give such written notice (i) shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent it shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure, and (ii) shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any other obligation or liability it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article VII.

(b)The Indemnifying Party may at any time deliver written notice to the Indemnified Party that it intends to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing of recognized standing and competence and at its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall only be entitled to undertake, conduct and control such settlement or defense if it acknowledges, in writing, to the Indemnified Party its obligation to fully indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim (subject to, if applicable pursuant to Section 7.4, the Cap and Deductible). If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to conduct and control the settlement or defense of a Third Party Claim, it shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim, and shall diligently pursue the resolution of such Third Party Claim. Should an Indemnifying Party elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or prosecution of the claim through counsel of its own choice, and the reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with such defense or prosecution shall be considered Losses hereunder with respect to the subject matter of such claim, indemnifiable to the extent provided in this Article VII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the settlement or defense of a Third Party Claim under this Section 7.6(b) only if: (A) the Third Party Claim involves solely monetary damages and (B) to the extent that the Cap applies, the potential Losses relating to such Third Party Claim are less than the Cap.

(c)On the first Business Day following the Holdback Release Date, (i) Buyer and Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Seller in accordance with the Escrow Agreement the remaining amount of the Indemnity Escrow Holdback Amount net of the amount of any unresolved or pending claims properly asserted by Buyer prior to the Holdback Release Date (“Unresolved Claims”), in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Seller, and (ii) the remaining number of Indemnity Holdback Shares, net of the number of Indemnity Holdback Shares corresponding to the amount by which the Unresolved Claims exceeds the available balance of the Indemnity Escrow Holdback Amount, shall be released from the Indemnity Holdback Restriction. Buyer or Parent shall cause the record ownership of the released Indemnity Holdback Shares to be in the name of the Seller or in the names and percentage allocations of such other Persons as Seller may request via written notice to

Buyer and Parent on a date that is no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Holdback Release Date, all of whom shall be members of the Seller; provided, that, Buyer, Parent and Seller agree that if Indemnity Holdback Shares are released directly to the members of Seller, each of the parties hereto shall treat each such issuance of shares for all Tax reporting purposes as a transfer to Seller, followed by a transfer by Seller to its members. Thereafter, any remaining Indemnity Escrow Holdback Amount retained by the Escrow Agent and any remaining Indemnity Holdback Shares that continue to be subject to the Indemnity Holdback Restriction with respect to the Unresolved Claims (if any), shall be released by the Escrow Agent or from the Indemnity Holdback Restriction, as applicable, upon resolution of such Unresolved Claims.

(d)Neither Buyer nor Seller shall settle or consent to the entry of judgment of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, unless such settlement or judgment (i) does not provide for injunctive or other equitable relief and (ii) will be fully satisfied by the Indemnifying Party.

7.7Tax Treatment. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

7.8No Double Recovery. In no event shall the Indemnified Party be entitled under this Agreement to the recovery of the same Loss more than once, regardless of whether the claim for the Loss may be brought under multiple provisions of this Agreement. No amount may be recovered as a Loss with respect to any particular matter to the extent such amount with respect to such matter was expressly listed on the Closing Statement (as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.9(b)) or specifically taken into account as part of the Purchase Price adjustments under Sections 1.9(b) or 1.9(c).

7.9Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 9.12, the Parties acknowledge, covenant and agree that, from and after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Nothing in this Section 7.9 shall limit any Person's right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 9.12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing will prohibit, limit or in any way restrict claims or remedies for Fraud in connection with any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein (or in any exhibit or schedule hereto or in the Schedules) or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

8.1Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(a)at any time before the Closing by the mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;

(b)by either Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before September 15, 2021 (the “Outside Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this paragraph shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill or comply with any obligation or covenant under this Agreement or contemplated hereby has been the principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

(c)by Buyer, in the event that a (i) Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred prior to Closing or (ii) it determines that Closing condition 6.1(j) or 6.1(k) will not be satisfied prior to Closing;

(d)by Buyer, if a breach of this Agreement by Seller results or would result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(b) not being satisfied and such breach cannot be cured or, if curable, remains uncured within the earlier of (i) 15 days after Seller has received written notice from Buyer of the occurrence of such breach and (ii) the Outside Date; provided that Buyer may not terminate pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if Seller’s breach has been primarily caused by a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Buyer;

(e)by Seller, if a breach of this Agreement by Buyer results or would result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(b) not being satisfied and such breach cannot be cured or, if curable, remains uncured within the earlier of (i) 15 days after Buyer has received written notice from Seller of the occurrence of such breach and (ii) the Outside Date; provided that Seller may not terminate pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if the Buyer’s breach has been primarily caused by a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Seller; or

(f)either Buyer or Seller, if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an Order or enacted a Law enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Closing and such Order or Law shall have become final and nonappealable; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this paragraph shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill or comply with any obligation or covenant under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the issuance of such nonappealable Order or Law.

8.2Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall be promptly delivered by the Party seeking termination to the other Parties and such termination shall be immediately effective upon the delivery of such notice by a Party entitled to effect such termination. Upon any such valid termination, (a) each Party will redeliver to the other Parties all documents, work papers and other materials of the other Parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether obtained before or after the execution of this Agreement, (b) this Agreement shall become void and no Party shall have any further rights, Liabilities or obligations hereunder except with respect to those obligations set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement and Sections 4.7(a), 8.2 and Article IX hereof, which shall survive any such termination, and (c) termination shall not relieve any Party from liability for

Fraud or any intentional or willful breaches of this Agreement prior to the date of such termination. An “intentional or willful breach” means a breach or failure to perform, in each case, that is the consequence of an act or omission by a Party with the actual knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a Breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not intended, nor shall be construed, to give any Person, other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder, and other than the rights of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article VII.
