6.3 By entering into this release, Xxxxxxxx recognizes that no facts or representations are ever absolutely certain and it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which it presently knows or believes to be true, but that it is the intention of Borrower hereby to fully, finally and forever settle and release all matters, disputes and differences, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected; accordingly, if Xxxxxxxx should subsequently discover that any fact that it relied upon in entering into this release was untrue, or that any understanding of the facts was incorrect, Borrower shall not be entitled to set aside this release by reason thereof, regardless of any claim of mistake of fact or law or any other circumstances whatsoever.

Until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 9, except for any action contemplated under this Agreement or any action that may be required or advisable under applicable Law, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause the Acquired Company to operate its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, and (b) cause the Acquired Companies not to take any action or enter into any agreement or transaction that would cause the representations and warranties of Seller contained herein to be untrue at any time between the date hereof and the Closing. Notwithstanding this Section 7.1.1, to any extent Seller desires to take any action prohibited under this Section 7.1.1, Seller shall communicate such proposed activity or action to Buyer and if Buyer consents (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), then such activity or action shall be permitted. 7.1.2 Preservation of Business. Until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 9, except for any action contemplated under this

- 28 - Agreement or any action that may be required or advisable under applicable Law, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Company to keep its business, assets and properties substantially intact, including its present operations, physical facilities, working conditions and relationships with customers, suppliers and employees. 7.2 Termination of Terminated Employees. 7.2.1 Prior to Closing, Seller shall have caused the Acquired Company to effectuate a reduction in force to terminate the employment of the Terminated Employees (the "RIF"). Prior to the Closing, Seller shall have caused the Acquired Company to comply with all Laws applicable to the Acquired Company and related to the RIF, including but not limited to COBRA and the WARN Act. Seller shall assume all Liabilities associated with the RIF pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (to the extent such Liabilities have not already been paid and/or discharged prior to Closing). 7.2.2 Xxxxx agrees to offer continued employment at Closing to all employees of the Acquired Company other than the Terminated Employees. Xxxxx agrees that it will not and will cause the Acquired Company not to terminate or materially alter the employment of any employee or service provider of the Acquired Company for ninety (90) days following the date on which the RIF is effectuated to the extent that such termination would constitute a covered "employment loss" under the WARN Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.2.2 shall not prohibit the Acquired Company from terminating an Acquired Company Employee due to such employee's misconduct or violation of any Law. 7.3 Post-Closing Publicity. Following the Closing, no party shall make any public disclosure or comment regarding the specific terms of this Agreement (including any reference to Purchase Price) or the transactions contemplated herein without the prior approval of Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as may be required by Law or by any Governmental Authority or the rules of any stock exchange or trading system or reasonably necessary to enforce any rights under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each party hereto shall be entitled to disclose or comment to any Person that a transaction has been consummated, and (ii) nothing herein shall preclude communications or disclosures necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement, and Buyer, Seller and their respective Affiliates may make such disclosures as each may consider necessary in order to satisfy their legal or contractual obligations to their lenders, equityholders, investors or other interested parties, or for general marketing purposes, without the prior written consent of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be. 7.4 Expenses. Buyer shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which are incurred by Buyer or its representatives or are otherwise expressly allocated to Buyer hereunder, and Seller shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including all Selling Expenses) which are incurred by Seller or the Acquired Company or their representatives or are otherwise expressly allocated to Seller hereunder. 7.5 No Assignments. No assignment of all or any part of this Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder may be made by any party hereto without the prior written consent of Xxxxx and Seller, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and of no force or effect; provided, however, that: (a) either party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any Affiliate; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve such party of

- 29 - its obligations hereunder; (b) either party may assign its rights, but not its obligations, under this Agreement to any of its financing sources; and (c) either party and its successors and permitted assigns may assign their rights, but not their obligations, under this Agreement in connection with a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or equity of such party. 7.6 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing, at the request of any party hereto, each other party hereto shall execute and deliver any further instruments and take such other action as such party may reasonably request to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby. 7.7 Tax Matters. 7.7.1 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Following the Closing, Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall, and Buyer shall cause the Acquired Company to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other party, in connection with any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes or the preparation of any Tax Return. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon any other party's request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax matter or required by the Code or other applicable Law and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, agree: (a) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Company relating to any taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention Contracts entered into with any Taxing Authority; (b) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and allow such other party to take possession of such books and records; (c) to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby); and (d) upon request, to provide the other party with all information that any party may be required to report pursuant to the Code. All Tax-sharing Contracts or similar Contracts with respect to or involving the Acquired Company shall be deemed terminated as of the Closing, and, after the Closing, the Acquired Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder. 7.7.2 Tax Returns. Seller shall prepare (at the sole cost and expense of Seller), and Seller shall cause the Acquired Company to file, all Tax Returns of the Acquired Company for Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date ("Pre-Closing Tax Returns") and any Tax Returns for which the Acquired Company is included in the U.S. federal, state or local consolidated, combined or unitary group that includes Seller ("Seller Tax Returns"). Seller shall promptly pay on behalf of the Acquired Company any and all Taxes due with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Such Pre- Closing Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (except as otherwise required by Law or as otherwise required by this Agreement), and Seller shall provide or cause to be provided any such Pre-Closing Tax Return to Buyer at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of such Pre-Closing Tax Return (after applicable extensions) for Buyer's review and comment. Seller shall (i) consider in good faith any comments timely received from Buyer with respect to any Pre- Closing Tax Returns and (ii) reasonably consider any comments from Buyer with respect to the Pre- Closing Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared and timely filed all Tax Returns of the Acquired Company that are not Pre-Closing Tax Returns. The parties shall prorate the responsibility for the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Buyer in the preparation of Tax Returns for Straddle Periods, with such proration based on the relative shares of each party with respect to Taxes owed with respect to such Tax Return (as determined under Section 7.7.3). Seller shall not amend any Pre-Closing Tax Returns, or any other previously-filed Tax Returns for prior

- 30 - years of the Acquired Company, without first informing Xxxxx and obtaining Xxxxx's consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with respect to any such proposed amendment. For avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall not be entitled to receive a copy of, review or comment on, or consent to any amendment of, any Seller Tax Returns. 7.7.3 Apportionment of Taxes. If the Acquired Company is permitted, but not required, under applicable foreign, state or local Income Tax Laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, such day shall be treated as the last day of a taxable period. All Taxes and Tax liabilities with respect to the Acquired Company that relate to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period as follows: (a) in the case of Taxes that are either (i) based upon or measured by reference to income, receipts, profits, capital, or net worth (including sales and use Taxes), (ii) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), other than conveyances pursuant to this Agreement (as provided under Section 7.7.6), or (iii) required to be withheld, such Taxes apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the Tax year (or other Tax reporting period to the extent such Taxes are reported and paid other than on an annual basis) ended at the end of the day on the Closing Date; and (b) in the case of all other Taxes, such Taxes apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) any deduction attributable to any Selling Expenses (including any amount that would have been included in calculating Selling Expenses but for the fact that such amount was paid prior to the Closing) shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, (B) any Taxes attributable to any action taken by Buyer or the Acquired Company on or after the Closing Date that is not in the ordinary course of business shall be allocated to the taxable period beginning after the Closing on the Closing Date, and (C) for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any and all Taxes and Tax-related expenses attributable to any action taken by the Acquired Company or Seller pursuant to Sections 2.3.2, 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 of this Agreement shall be the responsibility of Seller. 7.7.4 Transaction Tax Deductions. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, including for purposes of determining the Transaction Tax Deductions and preparing U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax Returns described in this Section 7.7, the Parties shall treat any Transaction Tax Deductions as deductible in a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) and shall not apply the "next day rule" under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) to such Transaction Tax Deductions. 7.7.5 Controversies. (a) Buyer shall notify Seller in writing within ten (10) days of the receipt by Buyer or the Acquired Company of written notice of any inquiries, audits, examinations, assessments or other proceedings from any Taxing Authority with respect to Taxes of the Acquired Company for which Seller would be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (any such inquiry, audit, examination, assessment or similar event, a "Tax Matter"); provided, however that any failure by Xxxxx to deliver such notice within such time period shall not affect in any way Seller's obligation for indemnification, except if and to the extent Seller is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Seller may, at Seller's own expense, participate in and, upon notice to Buyer, assume the defense of any such Tax Matter relating solely to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (but not a Straddle Period, which is governed by Section 7.7.5(b)). If Seller assumes such defense, Seller shall have the authority, with respect to such Tax Matter, to represent the interests of the

- 31 - Acquired Company before the relevant Taxing Authority and shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or otherwise resolve any such Tax Matter subject to the limitations contained herein, including responding to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter. Buyer has the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Seller. Seller shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter to the extent that it adversely affects or may adversely affect the Tax liability of Buyer, the Acquired Company or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing for any Post-Closing Tax Period, including any Straddle Period, without the prior written consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Seller shall keep Buyer fully and timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Matter, and will, in good faith, allow Buyer or Buyer's counsel to consult with Seller regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding and to be present at any meetings or proceedings with the relevant Taxing Authority. If Seller declines to control any such Tax Matter, then the provisions of Section 7.7.5(b) shall apply to such Tax Matter mutatis mutandis. (b) Buyer has the right to represent the interests of the Acquired Company before the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to any inquiry, audit, examination, assessment or proceeding relating to a Straddle Period (a "Straddle Period Tax Matter") and has the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Straddle Period Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Straddle Period Tax Matter. If Seller would be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Straddle Period Tax Matter then (i) Seller shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Straddle Period Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at Seller's own expense, separate from counsel employed by Buyer, (ii) Buyer shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Straddle Period Tax Matter to the extent that it adversely affects the Tax liability of Seller or results in an indemnity obligation under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (iii) Buyer shall keep Seller informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Straddle Period Tax Matter, and will, in good faith, allow Seller or Seller's counsel to consult with Buyer or its counsel regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding and to be present at any meetings or proceedings with the relevant Taxing Authority. 7.7.6 Transfer Taxes. Each of Buyer and Seller shall pay fifty percent of any sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, real property transfer or gains and similar Taxes (including any penalties and interest) ("Transfer Taxes") incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement when due, and the party so required under applicable Law shall file or cause to be filed all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes (fifty percent of the expense of which shall be borne by and paid by each of Buyer and Seller). 7.7.7 Post-Closing Actions. Without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), neither Buyer nor Seller shall, and neither shall permit or cause the Acquired Company, or any Affiliate of the Acquired Company, to (i) amend (or cause to be amended) or otherwise modify (or cause to be otherwise modified) any Tax Returns of the Acquired Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; (ii) file any Tax Return of the Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period in a jurisdiction in which the Company did not previously file a Tax Return; (iii) make or change any Tax election with respect to the Acquired Company that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any election

- 32 - contemplated by this Agreement); (iv) agree to the waiver or any extension of the statute of limitations relating to any Taxes of the Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; or (v) enter into or file any voluntary Tax disclosure, amnesty or similar filing or agreement with respect to any Taxes attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.7.7 shall not restrict any action by Seller with respect to Seller Tax Returns. 7.7.8 Tax Refunds. Buyer shall, or shall cause the Acquired Company to, pay to Seller the amount of any cash Tax refunds or credits of Taxes actually received by the Acquired Company that arise with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and the amount of any benefit of any overpayment actually received with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that is applied in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning on or after the Closing Date, in each case, net of any costs or Taxes incurred in connection therewith. Such payments shall be made within 15 days of receipt of any such refund or credit or application of any such overpayment by Buyer or the Acquired Company. 7.7.9 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between Article 8 and this Section 7.7 with respect to Tax matters, this Section 7.7 shall control. Any provision of Article 8 not in conflict with this Section 7.7, but that is supplemental or additive to the provisions of this Section 7.7, shall be deemed incorporated into this Section 7.7. 7.8 Confidentiality. From and after Closing, Seller agrees to, and shall cause its Affiliates, employees and representatives to treat and hold, as confidential and not disclose any non-public, confidential or proprietary information concerning Buyer or the business of the Acquired Company, including but not limited to the Company Owned Intellectual Property and Company Licensed Intellectual Property, any notes, product developments, analyses, compilations, studies, forecasts, interpretations or other documents that are derived from, contain, reflect or are based upon any such information (the "Confidential Information"); provided, however, that Seller and its Affiliates, employees and representatives may furnish such portion (and only such portion) of the Confidential Information as such Person reasonably determines, on advice of counsel, it is legally obligated to disclose if such Person: (a) receives a request to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information under the terms of a subpoena, civil investigative demand or order issued by a Governmental Authority; (b) to the extent not inconsistent with such request, notifies Buyer of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request so that Buyer can seek an appropriate protective order and consults with Buyer on the advisability of taking steps available under applicable Law to resist or narrow such request; (c) cooperates with Buyer to preserve the confidentiality of such information consistent with applicable Law; and (d) only discloses that portion of such Confidential Information such Person is compelled or legally required to disclose and exercise commercially reasonably efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such information so disclosed. 7.9 Employee Benefits for Acquired Company Employees. Seller acknowledges and agrees that all Acquired Company Employees shall remain on Seller's health, dental and vision Company Plans through the end of the month in which the Closing occurs. Seller shall continue to provide support, handle claims, and provide ongoing administrative functions related to such Acquired Company Employees' health, dental and vision benefits through the end of the month in which the Closing occurs. 7.10 Acquisition of GCBV. On behalf of the Acquired Company, within six (6) months following the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase of all outstanding equity interests in GCBV not owned by the Acquired Company at Closing (the "GCBV Third-Party Interests") and deliver such GCBV Third-Party Interests to the Acquired Company. Seller

- 33 - shall be responsible for all costs associated with the acquisition of the GCBV Third-Party Interests, including but not limited to the purchase price of the GCBV Third-Party Interests and any related travel costs and attorneys' fees; provided, that Seller shall not be required to spend more than $50,000 in the aggregate to comply with its obligations under this Section 7.10. At Buyer's reasonable request, Seller shall provide Buyer and the Acquired Company periodic updates regarding Seller's progress in acquiring the GCBV Third-Party Interests. 7.11 Continued Operation of Business. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Company) to use commercially reasonable efforts not to, take any action that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability (financial or otherwise) of the Acquired Company to pay, satisfy and discharge its obligations (including the Retained Liabilities) as and when they become due. 7.12 Audit Cooperation. From and after the Closing, Buyer and the Acquired Company (a) shall provide Seller, its independent auditors and its accounting and finance employees and consultants with access to the personnel, properties, books, records and financial information of the Acquired Company and its Subsidiaries, and to any other information reasonably requested by any of the foregoing Persons, for purposes of preparing, reviewing and auditing the financial statements of Seller, and (b) shall cooperate, and cause their respective personnel to cooperate, with Seller, its independent auditors and its accounting and finance employees and consultants in connection therewith. ARTICLE 8 Indemnification 8.1 Indemnification of Buyer. From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and the Acquired Company and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, partners, stockholders, members, Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnitees") against and hold the Buyer Indemnitees harmless from Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees: (a) related to, arising out of or caused by any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representation or warranty contained in Article 3 or Article 4, other than any Seller Fundamental Representation (which Seller Fundamental Representations are subject to Section 8.1(b)), on the part of Seller; (b) related to, arising out of or caused by any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any Seller Fundamental Representations, on the part of Seller; (c) related to, arising out of or caused by any Liability (i) for unpaid Taxes of the Acquired Company during any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any portion of a Straddle Period allocable or apportioned to Seller (as provided in Section 7.7.3)), (ii) for Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group of which the Acquired Company is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury regulations or any analogous or similar Law or regulation, and (iii) for Taxes of any Person (other than the Acquired Company) imposed on the Acquired Company as a transferee or successor, by Contract (other than any contract entered into in the ordinary course of business, the principal purpose of which does not relate to taxes), or pursuant to any Law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring prior to the Closing;

- 34 - (d) related to, arising out of or caused by any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or obligation made or incurred by Seller herein; (e) related to, arising out of or caused by non-payment or non-performance of any Assumed Liabilities; (f) related to, arising out of or caused by non-payment of any Selling Expenses in accordance with Section 2.3.5; (g) related to, arising out of or caused by the SVB Debt or the Advantage Debt; (h) related to, arising out of or caused by non-payment or non-performance of any Liabilities related to the RIF or the vesting of the Employee Equity Grants; or (i) related to, arising out of or caused by the claims on Schedule 1.1. 8.2 Limitations on Indemnification of Buyer. The indemnification of the Buyer Indemnitees provided for in this Agreement shall be subject to the following limitations: (a) (i) any claim by a Buyer Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(a) shall be required to be made by delivering notice to Seller on or before the nine (9) month anniversary of the Closing Date; (ii) any claim by a Buyer Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(b) may be made at any time on or prior to the four (4) year anniversary of the Closing Date; (iii) any covenants or obligations described in Section 8.1(d) shall survive in accordance with their terms; (iv) any claim by a Buyer Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.1(e), 8.1.(f), 8.1(g), 8.1(h), and/or 8.1(i) may be made at any time following the Closing Date; (v) any claim by a Buyer Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(c) shall survive until ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; and (vi) claims related to fraud may be made at any time following the Closing Date.

(d) The limitations set forth in this Section 8.2 shall in no way limit the rights of the Buyer Indemnitees in the case of fraud. 8.3 Indemnification of Seller. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer and the Acquired Company, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Seller, its Affiliates, and its and their respective

- 35 - officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, partners, stockholders, members, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the "Seller Indemnitees") against and hold the Seller Indemnitees harmless from any Losses related to, arising out of or caused by: (a) any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representation or warranty contained in Article 5, other than any Buyer Fundamental Representation (which Buyer Fundamental Representations are subject to Section 8.3(b)), on the part of Buyer; (b) related to, arising out of or caused by any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any Buyer Fundamental Representations, on the part of Buyer; (c) Taxes of the Acquired Company attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Period (including any portion of a Straddle Period allocable or apportioned to Buyer (as provided in Section 7.7.3)), and any Taxes of the Acquired Company resulting from any action taken by Buyer or the Acquired Company after the Closing on the Closing Date that is not in the ordinary course of business; (d) any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or obligation made or incurred by Buyer herein; or (e) any Retained Liability. 8.4 Limitations on Indemnification of Seller. The indemnification of the Seller Indemnitees provided for in this Agreement shall be subject to the following limitations: (a) any claim by a Seller Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(a) shall be required to be made by delivering notice to Buyer no later than the nine (9) month anniversary of the Closing Date; (ii) any claim by a Seller Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(b) may be made at any time on or prior to the four (4) year anniversary of the Closing Date; (iii) any covenants or obligations described in Section 8.3(c) shall survive in accordance with their terms; (iv) any claim by a Seller Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.3(d) and 8.3(e) may be made at any time following the Closing Date; and (v) claims related to fraud may be made at any time following the Closing Date. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover from Buyer or the Acquired Company under this Article 8 with respect to claims pursuant to Section 8.3(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses suffered or incurred by all Seller Indemnitees under Section 8.3(a) exceeds the Basket. Once the aggregate amount of Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Indemnitees pursuant to Section 8.3(a) exceeds the Basket, the Seller Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification only for the amount of all claims for Losses in excess of the Basket made by the Seller Indemnitees pursuant to Section 8.3(a) (and subject to the other limitations contained herein). For purposes of clarity, in no event shall the Basket apply with respect to any Losses relating to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.3(b), 8.3(c), 8.3(d) or 8.3(e) or in the case of fraud. (c) The maximum liability of Buyer and the Acquired Company under Section 8.3(a) (other than with respect to fraud) shall in no event exceed the General Cap. For purposes of clarity, in no event shall the General Cap apply with respect to any Losses relating to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.3(b), 8.3(c), 8.3(d) or 8.3(e) or in the case of fraud. (d) The limitations set forth in this Section 8.4 shall in no way limit the rights of the Seller Indemnitees in the case of fraud.

- 36 - 8.5 Procedures Relating to Indemnification. 8.5.1 Third-Party Claims. (a) In order for a party (the "indemnitee") to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of, or involving a claim or demand made by any Person against the indemnitee (a "Third-Party Claim"), such indemnitee must notify the party from whom indemnification hereunder is sought (the "indemnitor") in writing of the Third-Party Claim as soon as reasonably practicable after the indemnitee determines that it may be entitled to indemnification for such Third-Party Claim under this Article 8. Such notice shall state in reasonable detail the amount or estimated amount of such Third-Party Claim, and shall identify the specific basis (or bases) for such Third-Party Claim, including the representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement alleged to have been breached. Failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the indemnitee shall deliver to the indemnitor, without undue delay, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers received by the indemnitee) relating to the Third-Party Claim so long as any such disclosure could not reasonably be expected, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, to have an adverse effect on the attorney-client or any other privilege that may be available to the indemnitee in connection therewith. (b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an indemnitee and if (i) the indemnitor irrevocably admits to the indemnitee in writing its obligation to indemnify the indemnitee for all liabilities and obligations relating to such Third-Party Claim, (ii) no claim for injunctive relief is being made against the indemnitee, (iii) the Third-Party Claim does not involve a Governmental Authority, and (iv) it is reasonably likely that the indemnitee will not suffer a Loss in excess of the indemnitor's indemnification obligations hereunder, the indemnitor may elect to assume and control the defense thereof, at its expense, with counsel selected by the indemnitor that is reasonably acceptable to the indemnitee, by providing the indemnitee with notice within thirty (30) days after the indemnitor's receipt from the indemnitee of notice of the Third-Party Claim. If the indemnitor assumes such defense, the indemnitee 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 indemnitor, it being understood that the indemnitor shall control such defense; provided that indemnitee's expenses of counsel shall be an indemnified Loss for purposes of this Article 8 if such counsel reasonably concludes that a conflict exists between indemnitee and indemnitor that cannot be waived. If the indemnitor is eligible to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.5.1(b) and the indemnitor elects not to assume such defense, the indemnitor shall reimburse the indemnitee for any Losses incurred by indemnitee in the defense of such Third-Party Claim. (c) If the indemnitor so assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, all of the indemnitees shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnitor in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include, at the expense of the indemnitor, the retention and (upon the indemnitor's request) the provision to the indemnitor of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the indemnitor has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) the indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge such Third-Party Claim without the indemnitor's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (ii) the indemnitor shall not admit any liability

- 37 - with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge such Third-Party Claim without the indemnitee's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the indemnitee shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim which the indemnitor may recommend and which by its terms releases the indemnitee from any liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim without cost or expense (other than costs and expenses for which such indemnitee would be indemnified hereunder) and without any admission of violation, injunction or agreement to take or restrain from taking any material action. 8.5.2 Other Claims. In the event an indemnitee should have a claim against an indemnitor under this Agreement that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the indemnitee shall deliver written notice of such claim to the indemnitor promptly following discovery of any indemnifiable Loss, but in any event not later than the last date set forth in Section 8.2 or Section 8.4, as the case may be, for making such claim. Such written notice shall, to the extent known by the indemnitee at the time, state in reasonable detail the amount or an estimated amount of such claim, and shall specify the facts and circumstances, to the extent known by the indemnitee at the time, which form the basis (or bases) for such claim, and shall further specify the representations, warranties or covenants alleged to have been breached. Failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except to the extent the indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Within thirty (30) days of any such notice, the indemnitor shall notify the indemnitee as to whether the indemnitor accepts liability for any Loss. If the indemnitor disputes its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, the indemnitor and the indemnitee shall attempt to resolve any such dispute in good faith for a period of twenty (20) days. If such dispute cannot be resolved in such time period, the indemnitor and the indemnitee shall resolve such dispute in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 10.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the indemnitee in good faith believes that circumstances exist such that any delay could materially harm the indemnitee or the indemnitee's business, the foregoing twenty (20) day period shall not apply and the indemnitee shall have the right to immediately resolve such dispute in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 10.4. 8.6 Calculation and Mitigation of Losses; No Double-Counting. 8.6.1 The amount of any and all indemnifiable Losses incurred by any indemnitee under this Article 8 shall be determined net of (a) any cash Tax benefit actually received or realized by the applicable indemnitee, including any cash refund or any reduction of, or credit against, such indemnitee's cash Tax liabilities, in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of such Losses (a "Tax Benefit"), and (b) any insurance or contractual or other indemnity (net of any collection costs and Taxes arising as a result of such recovery) available to such indemnitee in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (each, an "Alternative Recovery"). Any indemnitee making a claim for indemnification of Losses with respect to a particular matter will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery of such Losses under all such applicable Alternative Recoveries with respect to any Loss prior to seeking indemnification hereunder. If an indemnification payment is received by an indemnitee, and such indemnitee later receives any Alternative Recovery in respect of the related Losses, the indemnitee shall promptly pay to the indemnitor that made the applicable indemnification payment, a sum equal to the lesser of (x) the actual amount of the Alternative Recovery (net of any collection costs, increased insurance premiums and Taxes arising as a result of such recovery) or (y) the actual amount of the indemnification payment previously paid by the applicable indemnitee with respect to such Losses. 8.6.2 The parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim, liability or Loss for which indemnification may be required hereunder, including by taking, or causing

- 38 - the applicable indemnitee to take, all reasonable efforts to mitigate any such claim, liability or Loss. In the event that an indemnitee shall fail to take such reasonable efforts, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the applicable indemnitor shall not be required to indemnify such indemnitee for any claim, liability or Loss that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if such efforts had been made. 8.6.3 Any indemnity provided hereunder shall be applied so as to avoid any double- counting and no indemnitee shall be entitled to obtain indemnification more than once for the same Losses pursuant to this Agreement. 8.7 Pre-Closing Breaches; No Reimbursement. Seller agrees that, should it become liable for indemnification to any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to Section 8.1, the Acquired Company shall not have any liability to Seller for reimbursement, indemnification, subrogation or otherwise as a result of such breach, including any rights under any Contracts or the Organizational Documents of the Acquired Company. 8.8 Limitation of Remedies. Each party acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than fraud or claims involving equitable or injunctive relief, to which the limitations set forth in this Section 8.8 shall not apply) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 8. All claims for indemnification must be asserted in good faith and, to the extent applicable to such claims, within the relevant time periods set forth in this Article 8. ARTICLE 9 Termination 9.1 Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date: 9.1.1 by the mutual written consent of the parties hereto; 9.1.2 by Buyer or Seller if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action which permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the transactions contemplated hereby and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; 9.1.3 by Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to May 1, 2024; provided, that no party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1.3 if the failure of the terminating party (which, in the case of Seller, shall include the failure of the Acquired Company) to fulfill any of its or their obligations under this Agreement or to effect the satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article 6 shall have caused the Closing not to have occurred on or before said date; 9.1.4 by Seller if Buyer shall have breached in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article 6, which breach has not been cured within fifteen (15) days after the giving of written notice by Seller to Buyer specifying such breach; provided, that Seller may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1.4 only to the extent that Seller has not breached (or has not continued to breach) in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereunder; or

- 39 - 9.1.5 by Buyer if Seller shall have breached in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article 6, which breach has not been cured within fifteen (15) days after the giving of written notice by Buyer to Seller specifying such breach; provided, that Buyer may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1.5 only if Buyer has not breached (or has not continued to breach) in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereunder. 9.2 Effect of Termination. Upon a valid termination pursuant to this Article 9, no party hereto shall have any obligation to consummate the transactions hereunder, this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no liability on the part of either party hereto, except that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any willful breach of any provision hereof. In the event of any such termination, each party shall be responsible for payment of such party's own costs and expenses. ARTICLE 10 Construction; Miscellaneous Provisions 10.1 Notices.
