If any remaining disputed items are submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm for resolution, (i) each Party will furnish to the Designated Accounting Firm such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the remaining disputed items as the Designated Accounting Firm may request and are available to such Party, and each Party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Designated Accounting Firm any material relating to the disputed items and to discuss the resolution of the disputed items with the Designated Accounting Firm; (ii) each Party will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with the resolution process so that the disputed items can be resolved within forty-five (45) calendar days of submission of the disputed items to the Designated Accounting Firm; (iii) the determination by the Designated Accounting Firm, as set forth in a written notice to Purchaser and the Company, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties; and (iv) the fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Company and Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Designated Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Designated Accounting Firm at the time the determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm, and all other costs and expenses shall be paid by the respective Party incurring such expense. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Designated Accounting Firm to resolve any item in dispute by making an adjustment to the Earn-Out Statement that is outside of the range for such item defined by the Earn-Out Statement and an Earn-Out Dispute Notice. In calculating the Earn-Out Amount, the Designated Accounting Firm shall be limited to addressing only those particular disputes referred to in an Earn-Out Dispute Notice.

(b)Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to transfer or assign any Purchased Asset, including any Transferred Contract, certificate, approval, authorization or other right that by its terms or by Law is nonassignable or cannot be entered into without the consent of a Third Party or a Governmental Authority or is cancelable by a Third Party in the event of an assignment (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until (i) such consents shall have been obtained or (ii) Purchaser notifies the Company that any such Purchased Asset should be transferred or assigned notwithstanding the absence of a requisite Third Party consent or Governmental Authority consent or the right of a Third Party to cancel such Nonassignable Asset in the event of a transfer or assignment hereunder, in which event such Purchased Asset shall not be a Nonassignable Asset for purposes of this Agreement and shall instead be transferred and assigned hereunder notwithstanding the absence of such Third Party consent or Governmental Authority consent or any right of a Third Party to cancel such Purchased Asset. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the event any requisite consent cannot be or is not for any reason obtained prior to the Closing, from and after the Closing, the Company and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop a mutually agreeable arrangement (including by way of amendment or addition of services to the Transition Services Agreement) under which (i) Purchaser would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations under such Nonassignable Assets in accordance with this Agreement, including by sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to Purchaser or (ii) such Nonassignable Assets would be held, as of and from the Closing Date, by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary in trust for Purchaser and the covenants and obligations thereunder would be performed by Purchaser in the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s name and all benefits, obligations and liabilities existing thereunder would be for Purchaser’s account. If after the Closing Date any Nonassignable Asset becomes assignable (either because consent for the assignment or execution thereof is obtained or otherwise), the

Company shall promptly notify Purchaser and reasonably cooperate to assign or transfer such previously Nonassignable Asset to Purchaser without payment of any further consideration therefor.

(c)Purchaser and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval, or amendment required to transfer all rights and obligations under any and all Transferred Contracts, Governmental Authorizations, certificates, approvals, authorizations or other rights or obligations or liabilities that constitute Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities or that are required to perform the obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(d)From and after the Closing Date, the Company on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries authorizes Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of the Company or its Subsidiaries under the Nonassignable Assets.

The Company and Purchaser agree to cooperate with each other in the preparation of, and to negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to, the Asset Allocation; provided, however, that in the event that the Company and Purchaser cannot reach agreement with respect to the Asset Allocation within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Designated Accounting Firm with recognized valuation expertise mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and the Company shall prepare the Asset Allocation.

The Parties agree that they will not, and will not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, take a position (except as required pursuant to any Order of, or to settle a dispute with, a Governmental Authority) on any Tax Return or in any audit or examination before any Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with the final Asset Allocation (the final Asset Allocation being referred to herein as the

“Allocation”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.06 shall prevent the Parties or their respective Affiliates from settling, or require any of them to litigate, any challenge, proposed deficiency, adjustment or other similar Proceeding by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Allocation.

(a)Call Right. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any requirement of applicable Law, the Parties understand and agree that, during a three-year period following the Closing Date (the “Option Period”), Purchaser shall have the option and right (the “Call Right”), but not the obligation, to purchase and acquire from the Company and its Subsidiaries’, in one or a series of separate transactions, all of their rights, title and interests in and to certain or all of the Other Verticals (including all sales pipeline relating to the Other Verticals and Business) at the Call Option Price. If Purchaser, acting in its sole discretion, elects to exercise the Call Right, it shall deliver to the Company a written, unconditional, and irrevocable notice (the “Call Exercise Notice”) stating its election to purchase and acquire from the Company and its Subsidiaries’ certain or all Other Verticals.

(b)Consummation. The transfer of any Other Verticals following the exercise of the Call Right shall be completed in one or a series of separate transactions and pursuant to definitive agreements to be negotiated by the Parties in good faith. As soon as practicable (but not later than thirty (30) calendar days) after a Call Exercise Notice, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser by notice in writing, its good faith calculation of the Call Option Price, in reasonable detail. If Purchaser does not object thereto within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such calculation of the Call Option Price, by notice stating such objections in reasonable detail, the same calculation shall be deemed the definitive Call Option Price. Provided that the Parties agree on the Call Option Price, and subject to any required corporate approvals, including stockholder approval, the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the transfer of any Other Vertical pursuant to a Call Right no later than sixty (60) calendar days after Purchaser has access to the dataroom with customary due diligence information that is substantially complete and after agreement on the Call Option Price, during which period Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to purchase the Other Verticals (the “Other Verticals Exclusivity Period”). The Parties agree that such acquisition shall be subject to proper due diligence of the Other Verticals on an arms-length basis and any such Other Verticals Exclusivity Period shall be extended as needed to complete such diligence, provided good faith efforts from the Company to provide necessary information to complete diligence.

(c)Cooperation. The Parties shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transfer contemplated by a Call Right, including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to consummate such transfer.

From and after such date as the trailing twelve months Revenue of Vistio as of December 31, 2023 are available, and for the remainder of the Option Period, subject to applicable Law, Purchaser shall have the option and right (the “Vistio Call Right”), but not the obligation, to purchase and acquire from the Company all of outstanding capital stock of Vistio (including all sales pipeline relating to the Other Verticals and Business) at the Vistio Call Option Price. If Purchaser, acting in its sole discretion, elects to exercise the Vistio Call Right, it shall deliver to the Company a written, unconditional, and irrevocable notice (the “Vistio Call Exercise Notice”) stating its election to purchase and acquire Vistio from the Company. The transfer of Vistio shall be completed pursuant to definitive agreements to be negotiated by the Parties in good faith. As soon as practicable (but not later than thirty (30) calendar days) after the Vistio Call Exercise Notice, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser by notice in writing, its good faith calculation of the Vistio Call Option Price, in reasonable detail. If Purchaser does not object thereto within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such calculation of the Vistio Call Option Price, by notice stating such objections in reasonable detail, the same calculation shall be deemed the definitive Vistio Call Option Price. Provided that the Parties agree on the Vistio Call Option Price, and subject to any required corporate approvals, including stockholder approval, the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the transfer of Vistio pursuant to a Vistio Call Right no later than sixty (60) calendar days after Purchaser has access to the dataroom with customary due diligence information that is substantially complete and after agreement on the Vistio Call Option Price, during which period Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to purchase Vistio (the “Vistio Exclusivity Period”). The Parties agree that such acquisition shall be subject to proper due diligence of Vistio on an arms-length basis and any such Vistio Exclusivity Period shall be extended as needed to complete such diligence, provided good faith efforts from the Company to provide necessary information to complete diligence. The Parties shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transfer contemplated by the Vistio Call Right, including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to consummate such transfer.

(e)Acceleration of the Call Right. The Company hereby agrees that no Other Proposal shall be entertained in the first year of the Option Period. In the event Parent or the Company receives from a Third Party (including those parties set forth in Schedule 2.08(e), the “Restricted Parties”), during the second or third year of the Option Period, a bona fide written acquisition proposal for any or all of the Other Verticals or Vistio from a Third Party, which, taking into account all legal, financial, tax, regulatory, timing and other aspects of the proposal and the person making such proposal, is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms (the “Other Proposal”), the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a written notice (a “Right of First Offer Notice”) which shall specify (i) the Company’s assets targeted by the Other Proposal, (ii) the name of the Person having issued the Other Proposal and (iii) the terms of the Other Proposal, including a description of the consideration offered, the proposed timing for completion of the acquisition and material conditions to the purchaser’s obligation to close, and a copy of any documents or agreements delivered in connection with the Other Proposal. For a period of thirty

(30) calendar days following the date of the Right of First Offer Notice (the “Right of First Offer Period”), Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) deliver a written notice to the Company electing to exercise the Call Right with respect to the Other Vertical(s) subject to the Other Proposal (an “Acceptance Notice”); provided, however, that if the consideration offered in the Other Proposal is lower than the Call Option Price or the Vistio Call Option Price, as applicable, and is determined to be fair and reasonable by the board of directors of Parent, and subject to applicable Law (in the sole discretion of Parent) then, for purposes of this Section 2.08(e), the Call Option Price or Vistio Call Option Price, as applicable, shall be reduced to the consideration offered in the Other Proposal. If Purchaser does not deliver an Acceptance Notice during the Right of First Offer Period, the Option Period shall terminate with respect to such Other Vertical(s) and Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its purchase rights in connection with this Section 2.08. If the Other Proposal is not consummated within ninety (90) days or such shorter period of time as set forth in the Right of First Offer Notice, or any of the material terms in the Other Proposal change following Purchaser’s waiver of its purchase rights in connection with this Section 2.08, then the sale of such Other Vertical(s) or Vistio shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.08(e) again. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the transfer of the Other Verticals and/or Vistio no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the delivery of an Acceptance Notice after Purchaser has access to the dataroom with customary due diligence information that is substantially complete, during which period Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to purchase the Other Verticals and/or Vistio (the “Acceleration Exclusivity Period”). The Parties agree that such acquisition shall be subject to proper due diligence of the Other Verticals and/or Vistio on an arms-length basis and any such Acceleration Exclusivity Period shall be extended as needed to complete such diligence, provided good faith efforts from the Company to provide necessary information to complete diligence. The parties hereby agree that in the event the Company receives and closes on an Other Proposal from a Restricted Party, such transaction shall be subject to an express guaranty providing for all prices of services and licenses related to Visto to be locked for a period of time and providing further that all annual adjustments of such prices will be equal to the percentage average increase or decrease in the Consumer Price Index-All Urban (CPI-U) over the prior twelve (12) months, in perpetuity so long as the applicable contract(s) remain enforceable.

(f)Information Rights with Respect to Other Verticals and Vistio. In the event the Company ceases to remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, the following information and reporting obligations will become applicable:

(iv)The Company shall deliver to Purchaser such other information relating to the financial condition, business, prospects, or corporate affairs of the Company with respect to each Other Vertical and Vistio as Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide information (i) that the Company reasonably determines in good faith to be a trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company); or (ii) the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.

(v)Purchaser understands and agrees that information provided to it pursuant to this Section 2.08(f) may constitute material non-public information (“MNPI”) with respect to Parent. Accordingly, Purchaser agrees that it shall refrain from transacting in securities of Parent (including any option, swap or other derivative security with respect thereto) at all times as to which Purchaser is in possession of such MNPI.

6.08Employee Relations and Benefits.

(a)Purchaser shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to offer employment to each Business Employee other than an Identified Business Employee (the “Offer Employees”) as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days following the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser will offer employment to Identified Business Employees to be effective as of the Closing Date. With respect to each Offer Employee, Purchaser shall provide, for at least twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, (i) employment at a location that is no more than 30 (thirty) miles from the principal work location at which such Offer Employee was employed immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) base salaries or base wages that are no less favorable than the base salaries or base wages provided to the Offer Employees by the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, (iii) bonus and other incentive compensation opportunities (excluding retention or transaction bonuses) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to those in effect for such Offer Employee immediately prior to the Closing (unless otherwise required by local Law, in which case such offer shall comply with local Law) and (iv) severance entitlements that are no less favorable to the severance entitlements provided by Purchaser to its employees as of immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Parties agree that the foregoing does not require Purchaser to provide equity-settled or equity-linked compensation to any Transferred Employee (such that Purchaser may meet the obligations set forth in this Section 6.08(a) in the absence of any equity-based or equity-linked compensation, so long as the comparability standard is otherwise met). Offer Employees and Identified Business Employee who accept the offer of employment from Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries and who commence employment with Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries on the Employment Commencement Date (or, for those on vacation or other approved leave of absence with a legal right to return to employment, immediately upon their return to active work) shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.” Nothing herein shall limit Purchaser’s ability to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee employed by Purchaser after the Closing. If any Offer Employee requires a work visa or permit or an employment pass or other approval for his or her employment to continue with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates as of or after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to secure prior to the Closing Date the necessary visa, permit, pass or other approval in a timely manner consistent with the terms of this Section 6.08, if and only if the Company provides in advance of Closing and in a timely manner (and no less than fifteen (15) calendar days before Closing) all information as is necessary to secure such necessary visa, permit, pass or other approval in a timely manner, and Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any expenses related thereto. Purchaser shall ensure that the terms of any offer of employment to an Identified Business Employee or Offer Employee state that such terms supersede any prior oral or written agreements or arrangements with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates regarding the terms and conditions of employment or service with such Identified Business Employee or Offer Employee as in effect prior to the Employment Commencement Date.

(b)The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, engage in any activity intended to discourage any Offer Employee from accepting an offer of employment from Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, and the Company shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, offer any Offer Employee employment with any business of the Company or any of its Affiliates other than the Business after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company and its Affiliates shall be permitted to take any action (i) they are legally required to take in order to comply with local Laws or (ii) as mutually agreed by the Parties.

(c)Starting on the Employment Commencement Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Employment Commencement Date or any longer period as required under local employment Laws, each Transferred Employee who remains employed by Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries shall be eligible to participate in employee benefit plans, agreements, programs, policies and arrangements of Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries that provide 401(k), medical, dental, vision, long-term disability, long-term care, tuition assistance, and employee recognition benefits (the “Purchaser Plans”) that are provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries in accordance with Purchaser’s benefits cost share approach.

(d)The Company shall retain responsibility for and continue to pay all medical, life insurance, disability and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Transferred Employee with respect to claims incurred by such Transferred Employees or their covered dependents as of the day prior to the Closing Date (and, for those Business Employees who are not employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates but are on an approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, prior to their return to active employment). Expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by Transferred Employees or their covered dependents under Purchaser Plans on or after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. For purposes of this paragraph, a claim is deemed incurred: in the case of medical or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; in the case of disability benefits, when the disability occurs; in the case of workers’ compensation benefits, when the event giving rise to the benefits occurs; and otherwise, at the time the Transferred Employee or covered dependent becomes entitled to payment of a benefit (assuming that all procedural requirements are satisfied and claims applications properly and timely completed and submitted).

(e)With respect to any Purchaser Plan that is a group health plan, Purchaser shall, and Purchaser shall cause its Subsidiaries to, with respect to Transferred Employees, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) cause to be waived any pre-existing condition and waiting periods, except to the extent such provisions were applicable under the similar Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date (or, for those Business Employees who are not employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates but are on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, on their return to employment) and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to amounts paid by such Transferred Employees during the plan year of the applicable group health plan sponsored by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates during which the Closing (or, for those Business Employees who are not employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries but are on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, their return to employment) occurs. The Company shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide all necessary information on a timely basis that Purchaser and its Subsidiaries shall require to verify that such deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations have been paid by such Transferred Employees, and Purchaser’s and its Subsidiaries’ duties under this paragraph shall be contingent upon obtaining such information on a timely basis.

(f)For purposes of eligibility and vesting only, Transferred Employees shall be given credit for all service with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and any predecessor employer for which the Company or such Company Subsidiary credited service, under each Purchaser Plan to the same extent as recognized under any comparable Benefit Plan.

(g)Except as required by applicable Law or as may be agreed to by the Company and Purchaser, as of the Closing Date (or, for those Business Employees on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, as of the expiration of their leave), the Transferred Employees shall cease to accrue further benefits under the employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and shall commence participation in the Purchaser Plans to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of such Purchaser Plans. The Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take all steps necessary to (i) permit such employees to take distributions of such balances from any 401(k) plan of the Company or Affiliates and to the extent permitted by Purchaser’s 401(k) plan, rollover such balances (including notes associated with plan loans) to Purchaser’s 401(k) plan and (ii) following the Closing Date, prevent any Transferred Employee’s plan loans from going into default prior to such rollovers occurring unless such rollovers do not occur prior to the end of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the Closing Date (or, for those Business Employees on vacation or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, the expiration of their leave) occurs. Purchaser shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to permit each such Transferred Employee who has received an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from a 401(k) plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to roll such eligible rollover distribution including, for a reasonable period of time following the Closing Date, any associated loans into an account under a 401(k) plan maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(h)The Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall be responsible for all accrued but unpaid or unused vacation or other paid-time off (including accrued holiday entitlements, sick/personal leave, long service leave and rostered day off leave entitlements) (“PTO”) for (i) each Business Employee that is not a Transferred Employee, and (ii) each Transferred Employee.

(i)Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates with respect to any Liability under COBRA or similar applicable Laws in the United States arising from the actions (or inactions) of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries relating to Transferred Employees after the Closing. The Company shall retain, and indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates for, all Liabilities under COBRA or similar applicable Laws in the United States, including with respect to any “qualifying event” (as defined under COBRA) occurring on or before the Closing.

(j)Purchaser and the Company agree to provide the other in a timely manner, whether before or after the Closing Date, with such information and, when appropriate, documentation, as such Party may reasonably request about the provisions of this Section 6.08 so that both Purchaser and the Company may fulfill their legal obligations hereunder, comply with its obligations under this Agreement and confirm compliance with their obligations under applicable Law. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the Parties will cooperate with respect to the transfer of employee data relating to the Identified Business Employees as necessary to carry out their obligations set forth in this Section 6.08 no later than fifteen (15) calendar days before the Closing. The Company will transfer to Purchaser such employee data relating to the Transferred Employees as required by Purchaser for purposes of this Section 6.08 at least fifteen (15) calendar days before the Closing and as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing to the extent necessary for the operation of the Business; except that the Company shall

not be required to create records that are not required by law or usually maintained in such circumstances.

(k)The Company shall be solely responsible for any compensation or other amounts payable to any Transferred Employee, including payroll, bonuses, workers’ compensation and gratuity payments, severance and other employee benefits, in each case for any period relating to service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any time prior to the transfer of such Transferred Employees to Purchaser, and the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, all such amounts to all entitled Transferred Employees on or prior to the transfer of such Transferred Employees to Purchaser (or, for those on vacation or other approved leave of absence with a legal right to return to employment, immediately after the expiration of their leave).

(l)On or before the Closing Date, the Company shall provide a list of the name and site of employment of any and all Business Employees who have experienced, or will experience, an employment loss or layoff as defined by the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 or any similar applicable state or local law requiring notice to employees in the event of a closing or layoff (collectively, the “WARN Act”) within ninety (90) calendar days prior to the Closing Date.

6.13Covenant Not to Compete.

(a)In order that Purchaser may have and enjoy the full benefit of the Business, Parent and the Company agree that, for a period beginning on the Closing Date for each of the Business, the Other Verticals and Vistio and ending on the fifth anniversary thereof for each such acquisition as applicable, Parent and the Company shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, (i) engage, directly or indirectly, in any Competing Business; or (ii) acquire more than 5% of the outstanding equity interests based on assets, voting power or equity interests in any Business Competitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent or the Company, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall be precluded from (1) engaging in the Retained Business, and reasonably expected or foreseeable extensions of those businesses and the products developed or sold, and the services developed or provided in connection therewith; or (2) acquiring (in whole or in part), merging with or consolidating with any Person which, at the time of the parties’ agreement to enter into such transaction is not a Business Competitor.

(b)For purposes of this Section 6.13, (i) “Business Competitor” shall mean any Person that derived more than $50,000,000 from a Competing Business during the four fiscal quarters prior to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, entering into an agreement providing for the investment in or acquisition of such Person, and (ii) “Competing Business” shall mean the business that designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, installs or distributes products or provides services in competition with the Business (as conducted as of the Closing) or, following the closing of the sale of the Other Verticals or Vistio, if applicable, in competition with the Other Verticals or Vistio (in each case as conducted as of the closing of such additional acquisitions), as applicable.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6.13 shall not restrict Parent or the Company, nor any of their respective Affiliates, from acquiring and operating

any Person who is a Business Competitor so long as Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, divests all or the required portion of the Competing Business conducted by such Person within six months of the consummation of such transaction such that an acquisition by Parent or the Company, or their respective Affiliate, of the retained portion of the Competing Business would be permissible under the terms of the foregoing Section 6.13(a)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.13 shall not be applicable to (i) any Person as of and following such time that such Person ceases to be an Affiliate of Parent or the Company or (ii) the marketing, sale, installation or distribution by Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, of any products which incorporate devices, components or other products of an original equipment manufacturer or other Third Party.

(d)To the extent Purchaser believes that Parent or the Company is in breach of Section 6.13(a), Purchaser will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide written notice to the Company of the operations of Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, that Purchaser believes constitute a violation of Section 6.13(a) and a period of ten (10) calendar days following receipt of such notice to resolve such alleged breach (the “Resolution Period”). Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such alleged breach. The senior management of the Parties, including each Party’s legal and business Representatives, shall meet (including via telephone) and attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute during the Resolution Period.

6.14Use of Name.

(a)Purchaser hereby acknowledges that all right, title and interest in and to the name “Faneuil”, together with all variations and acronyms thereof and all Trademarks containing, incorporating or associated with the foregoing, or any other name that suggests a relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Retained Names and Marks”) are owned exclusively by the Company or one or more of its Affiliates, and that, except as expressly provided below, any and all right of the Business or Purchaser to use the Retained Names and Marks shall terminate as of the Closing and shall immediately revert to the Company or one or more of its Affiliates, along with any and all goodwill associated therewith. Purchaser further acknowledges that it has no rights, and is not acquiring any rights, to use the Retained Names and Marks, except as provided herein.

(b)Effective upon the Closing, the Company hereby grants to Purchaser a world-wide, royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable (except as permitted by Section 11.06) license to use the name “Faneuil” solely in the form of “Faneuil, a TTEC Company” (the “Licensed Xxxx”) solely in connection with the operation of the Business as currently conducted. Purchaser may grant sublicenses of the license granted under this Section 6.14 to a third party service provider in connection with the operation of the Business for the benefit of Purchaser and its Affiliates (and not for such third party’s independent benefit); provided that, in each case, such sublicense shall contain an agreement to be bound by all applicable obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement relating to the right and license that is the subject of such sublicense, including confidentiality obligations, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be liable hereunder to Asset Seller for any action or failure to act by such sublicensee.

(c)Purchaser shall ensure that all uses of the Licensed Xxxx as provided in this Section 6.14 shall be only with respect to goods and services of a level of quality equal to or greater than the quality of goods and services with respect to which the Business used the Licensed Xxxx xxxxx to the Closing. Any and all goodwill generated by the use of the Licensed Xxxx under this Section 6.14 shall inure solely to the benefit of the Company. Purchaser shall not (i) use the Licensed Xxxx hereunder in any manner that may damage, impair or tarnish the reputation of the Company or its Affiliates (or the goodwill associated with the Licensed Xxxx); or (ii) contest or challenge the ownership or validity of the Licensed Xxxx. Purchaser shall take any reasonable actions as directed by the Company with respect to use of the Licensed Xxxx to minimize confusion between Purchaser’s operation of the Business and the Retained Business.

(d)Purchaser agrees that the Company and its Affiliates shall have no responsibility for claims by third parties arising out of, or relating to, the use by Purchaser of the Licensed Xxxx after the Closing. In addition to any and all other available remedies, other than any liabilities arising out of the use of the use of the Retained Names and Marks by the Company prior to or following Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, and their successors and assigns from and against any and all such claims that may arise out of the use of the Licensed Xxxx by Purchaser (i) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 6.14, other than such claims that the Licensed Xxxx Infringes the Intellectual Property rights of any third party; or (ii) in violation of or outside the scope permitted by this Section 6.14. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser hereby acknowledges that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.14, the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order or other equivalent relief restraining the Business or Purchaser from any such breach or threatened breach.

portion of such Shared Contract would be held, as of and from the Closing Date, by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary in trust for Purchaser and the covenants and obligations thereunder would be performed by Purchaser in the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s name and all benefits, obligations and Liabilities existing thereunder to the extent applicable to the Business would be for Purchaser’s account.

6.16Notification of Certain Matters. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Parent and the Company shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of (i) any fact, condition, event or occurrence known to Parent or the Company that will or is reasonably likely to result in the failure of any of the conditions contained in Article VII to be satisfied or (ii) the commencement of any Proceeding by or against Parent, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that will or is reasonably likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or seeking to enjoin, alter or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.20Guarantee. In order to induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Company and Parent, the full payment of Purchaser’s present and future payment obligations to the Company or Parent required to be paid by Purchaser under or relating to this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payments under Section 9.01(b)) in the event Purchaser defaults on the underlying payment obligations (the “Guarantee”). The Parties hereby agree that the Company and Parent shall first seek all payment obligations from Purchaser prior to pursuing payment from the Guarantor and the Guarantor shall have the same defenses available to it which Purchaser may have against any such payment obligations in accordance with Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement.

(a)The obligations guaranteed by the Guarantee are collectively referred to herein as the “Guaranteed Obligations”.

(b)The liability of the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:

(iii)any release or discharge of any obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document resulting from any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Purchaser, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Purchaser or any of its assets;

(iv)the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that the Guarantor may have at any time against Purchaser, whether in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation or otherwise; or

(v)any other act or omission relating to the Guarantee that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of applicable Law or equity.

(c)The Company and Parent hereby agree that to the extent Purchaser makes, or is otherwise is relieved of, its payment obligations under this Agreement, the Guarantor shall be similarly relieved of its corresponding Guaranteed Obligations under this Guarantee solely in respect of such relieved obligations.

(d)Neither the Company nor Parent shall be obligated to file any claim relating to any Guaranteed Obligation in the event that Purchaser becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Company or Parent to so file shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to the Company or Parent in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Obligation as if such payment had not been made.

(e)The Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance, presentment, demand, protest and any notice in respect of the Guarantee not provided for herein.

(f)The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee are continuing and will remain in full force and effect until all obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement have been performed or paid and satisfied in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 6.20 shall not be assignable to any other person without the prior written consent of the Company, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

(i)by the mutual written consent of the Parties;

(ii)by Purchaser or the Company, by giving written notice of such termination to the other, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to April 30, 2022 (the “Outside Date”); provided that, in each case, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(a)(ii) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

(d)The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a Party pursuant to Sections 9.01(a)(1) or 9.01(b)(1) shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 9.02(c); provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any claims as to which the Company Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party, as the case may be, to be indemnified (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall have, before the expiration of the applicable survival period, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim, to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) to the indemnifying Party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”).

(e)Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall, to the extent as would be required under applicable Law, take all reasonable steps to mitigate all Losses after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses which are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith.

(f)For purposes of this Article IX, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

9.03Procedures for Third Party Claims and Excluded Liabilities.

(a)Promptly after the receipt by any Indemnified Party of a notice of any Proceeding by any Third Party that may be subject to indemnification under this Article IX, including any Proceeding relating to any Excluded Liability or Assumed Liability, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such Proceeding to the Indemnifying Party, stating in reasonable detail the nature and basis of each claim made in the Proceeding and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant documents received by the Indemnified Party evidencing the Proceeding and the basis for indemnification sought. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Proceeding.

(b)The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against the Third Party claim upon written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within 30 days after receipt of the particular notice from the Indemnified Party which such notice shall include Indemnifying Party’s agreement that it will provide full indemnification to the Indemnified Party for all Losses relating thereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the Third Party claim (i) if such Third Party claim seeks as its primary remedy the imposition of an equitable remedy that is binding upon Purchaser, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, or (ii) the amount of Losses relating to such Third Party claim could be reasonably expected to exceed the amounts for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify hereunder.

(c)So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party claim in accordance herewith and notified the Indemnified Party in writing thereof, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of co-counsel for the Indemnified Party (A) if the Indemnified Party reasonably and in good faith believes that a conflict of interest exists or could arise which, under applicable principles of legal ethics could prohibit a single legal counsel from representing both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in such Proceeding or (B) during the period after such time as the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party claim and prior to such time as the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of such Third Party claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party claim (other than a judgment or settlement that is solely for money damages in an amount less than the remaining balance of the limitations on indemnity set forth in Section 9.02 and is accompanied by the Indemnifying Party’s irrevocable commitment to make payment of amounts set forth in such settlement or judgment and a release of all indemnifiable claims against the Indemnified Party) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which such consent shall not be

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)In the case of any Third Party claims where the Indemnifying Party reasonably believes that it would be appropriate to settle such claim using equitable remedies (i.e., remedies involving the future use of the Purchased Assets), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall work together in good faith to agree to a settlement; provided, however, that no Party shall be under any obligation to agree to any such settlement.

(e)Any payment made pursuant to the indemnification obligations arising under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent allowable under applicable Law.

9.04Certain Procedures. The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party promptly of its discovery of any matter that may give rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant hereto; provided, however, that failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of this indemnification, except if and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.03, in connection with any actual or threatened claims by, or actual or threatened litigation or other disputes with, Third Parties relating to Assumed Liabilities or Excluded Liabilities, any such claims, litigation and disputes being referred to as “claims” for purposes of this Section 9.04, to the extent such activities are permitted by applicable Law and would not result in a waiver of the attorney-client privilege, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate in the defense by the Indemnifying Party of such claim (at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense), including, (i) permitting the Indemnifying Party to discuss during regular business hours the claim with such officers, employees, consultants and Representatives of the Indemnified Party as the Indemnifying Party reasonably requests, (ii) permitting the Indemnifying Party to have reasonable access to the properties, books, records, papers, documents, plans, drawings, electronic mail, databases and computers of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates and Representatives related to the claim during regular business hours and upon prior notice to review information and documentation relative to the claim, (iii) notifying the Indemnifying Party promptly of receipt by the Indemnified Party of any subpoena or other Third Party request for documents or interviews and testimony, and (iv) providing to the Indemnifying Party copies of any documents produced by the Indemnified Party in response to or compliance with any subpoena or other Third Party request for documents.

9.05Remedies Exclusive. Following the Closing, subject to the purchase price adjustment procedure set forth in Section 2.02 hereof, the remedies set forth in this Article IX shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for money damages and shall be in lieu of any other remedies for money damages that may be available to the Indemnified Parties under any other agreement or pursuant to any statutory or common law (including Environmental Law) with respect to any Losses of any kind or nature incurred directly or indirectly resulting from or arising out of any of this Agreement, the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the

Excluded Liabilities (it being understood that nothing in this Section 9.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the Parties’ rights to specific performance or other similar non-monetary equitable remedies with respect to the covenants referred to in this Agreement or the Parties’ rights under the other Transaction Documents); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit any Person’s right to seek any remedy on account of any Party’s fraud, criminal misconduct or willful breach. The Parties each hereby waive any provision of any applicable Law to the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreement contained in this Section 9.05.

Article X. SPECIAL INDEMNITIES

10.01Special Indemnity for IT Expenses.

10.03Special Indemnity for Wage Losses.

(a)During the period following the Closing and ending on December 31, 2023, each of the Company and Parent, on a joint and several basis, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser Indemnified Party on a quarterly USD-for-USD basis from and against any and all Wage Losses actually incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to the following Transferred Contracts (collectively defined as the “Indemnity Contracts” for purposes of this Section 10.03) and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below (collectively, the “Wage Loss Indemnity”):

(i)With respect to the Transferred Contracts with [***], each of the Company and Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser Indemnified Party for any and all related Wage Losses, provided that such indemnity obligation shall not exceed aggregate Losses in excess of the amount set forth in Schedule 10.03(a)(i);

(ii)With respect to the Transferred Contracts with [***], each of the Company and Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser Indemnified Party for any and all related Wage Losses, provided that such indemnity obligation shall not exceed aggregate Losses in excess of the amount set forth in Schedule 10.03(a)(ii);

(iii)With respect to the Transferred Contracts with [***], each of the Company and Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser Indemnified Party for any and all related Wage Losses, provided that such indemnity obligation shall not exceed aggregate Losses in excess of the amount set forth in Schedule 10.03(a)(iii);

(b)Purchaser shall prepare and deliver on a monthly basis a Wage True Up Calculation Spreadsheet, in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 10.04.

(c)Any Wage Losses payable to a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 10.03 shall be satisfied solely from the Indemnification Escrow Fund. The Wage Losses accrued every quarter, if any, due to the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Escrow Agent no later than two (2) weeks following the day of final determination of such quarterly Wage Losses.

(d)Following the Closing, in the event an amendment to any of the Indemnity Contracts is entered into and provides for an increase in billing for an amount equal or superior to the Maximum Remaining Wage Exposure for such Indemnity Contract (a “Post-Closing Triggering Billing Increase”), the remaining amount in the Indemnification Escrow Fund relating to such Indemnity Contract shall be released to Parent no later than two (2) weeks following the day of determination of such Triggering Billing Increase. Correspondingly, in the event an amendment to one of the Indemnity Contracts is entered into prior to the Closing by the Company or Parent such that if such amendment has been entered into on or after Closing it would have triggered a Post-Closing Triggering Billing Increase (a “Pre-Closing Triggering Billing Increase”), the corresponding amount that would otherwise be placed in the Indemnification Escrow Fund relating to such Indemnity Contract shall not be placed into the Indemnification Escrow Fund but rather paid to Parent at the Closing.

(e)For each of the Indemnity Contracts, the remaining corresponding amount of funds in the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Parent no later than two (2) weeks following the occurrence of the earliest of the following events: (i) a Post-Closing Triggering Billing Increase, (ii) the date upon which such Indemnity Contract is renewed or amended to extend its term, (iii) the date upon which such Indemnity Contract terminates or (iv) December 31, 2023.

(f)None of the limitations set forth in Section 9.02(a) and Section 9.02(b) shall apply to the Wage Loss Indemnity. Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall, to the extent as would be required under applicable Law, take all reasonable steps to mitigate all Losses after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses which are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith. In particular, Purchaser undertakes to use its reasonable best efforts to seek and obtain from the Business’ customers, promptly following the Closing, increased hourly customer billing rates in order to mitigate any potential Wage Losses indemnifiable hereunder.

(g)For purposes of this Section 10.03, “Wage Losses” shall mean, in relation to each of the Indemnity Contracts during a particular month, an amount equal to the product of (a) the difference between (i) the hourly Wage rate actually paid to the Affected Employees (which for purposes of this calculation shall not exceed the Target Wage Rate) and (ii) the hourly Wage rate paid to the Affected Employees as of the Closing per the agreed budget as set forth on the Wage True Up Calculation Spreadsheet, multiplied by (b) the number of hours worked by the Affected Employees during the relevant month. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Purchaser enters into a statement of work that provides for additional work, any employee participating on such additional workstreams shall not be considered as an Affected Employee, regardless of their applicable hourly Wage rate.

10.04Indemnity Statement. Within thirty (30) calendar days after (i) the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, for purposes of the IT Indemnity and the Real Property Indemnity, or (ii) the end of each successive calendar month following the Closing, for purposes of the Wage Loss Indemnity, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the company a reasonably detailed statement (each, an “Indemnity Statement”), which shall be in the form of the Wage True Up Calculation Spreadsheet for purposes of the Wage Loss Indemnity, setting forth a calculation of the indemnity amounts for such period together with reasonable supporting information. the Company may dispute the calculation of such indemnity amounts by providing written notice (an “Indemnity Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser within thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Indemnity Statement to the Company. If the Company does not provide an Indemnity Dispute Notice, such Indemnity Statement shall be deemed final upon the end of such thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Indemnity Statement to the Company. An Indemnity Dispute Notice shall identify each disputed item, specify the amount of such dispute and set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, provide the Company and its Representatives with reasonable access, information and assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with its review of an Indemnity Statement. In the event of any such disputes, Purchaser and the Company shall attempt, in good faith, to reconcile their differences (including providing information that is reasonably requested to the other party), and any resolution by them as to any disputed items shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and the Escrow Agent and shall be evidenced by a writing signed by Purchaser and the Company reflecting such resolution. If Purchaser and the Company are able to reach a resolution, such Indemnity Statement shall be deemed final. If Purchaser and the Company are unable to reach such resolution within thirty (30) calendar days after the Company’s delivery of an Indemnity Dispute Notice to purchaser, then Purchaser and the Company shall promptly submit any remaining disputed items for final binding resolution to the Designated Accounting Firm. If any remaining disputed items are submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm for resolution, (i) each Party will furnish to the Designated Accounting Firm such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the remaining disputed items as the Designated Accounting Firm may request and are available to such Party, and each Party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Designated Accounting Firm any material relating to the disputed items and to discuss the resolution of the disputed items with the Designated Accounting Firm; (ii) each Party will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with the resolution process so that the disputed items can be resolved within thirty (30) calendar days of submission of the disputed items to the Designated Accounting Firm; (iii) the determination by the Designated Accounting Firm, as set forth in a written notice to Purchaser and the Company, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and the Escrow Agent; and (iv)

the fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Company and Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Designated Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Designated Accounting Firm at the time the determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm, and all other costs and expenses shall be paid by the respective Party incurring such expense. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Designated Accounting Firm to resolve any item in dispute by making an adjustment to the Indemnity Statement that is outside of the range for such item defined by the Indemnity Statement and an Indemnity Dispute Notice. In calculating the relevant indemnity amount, the Designated Accounting Firm shall be limited to addressing only those particular disputes referred to in an Indemnity Dispute Notice.

Article XI. MISCELLANEOUS.

11.01Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Exhibits (the “Exhibits”) and the Schedules hereto and the documents referred to herein) contains, and is intended as, a complete statement of all of the terms of the arrangements between the parties with respect to the matters provided for herein, and supersedes any previous agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such matters, provided, however, that the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

11.02Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court determines that it does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any other appropriate Delaware State or Federal court), for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its respective address set forth in Section 11.04 shall be effective service of process for any litigation brought against it in any such court. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any litigation arising out of this Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby in such courts, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Parties hereby waive their respective rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any dealings between them relating to the subject matter of this transaction. The Parties also waive any bond or surety or security upon such bond which might, but for this waiver, be required of any of the other parties. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common Law and statutory claims. The Parties acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement to

enter into a business relationship, that each has already relied on the waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future dealings. The Parties further warrant and represent that each has reviewed this waiver with its or his, as the case may be, legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. This waiver is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified either orally or in writing, and the waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements or modifications to this Agreement or to any other documents or agreements relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

11.03Amendment; Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Parties. Any provision of this Agreement or of the Schedules or Exhibits hereto may be waived only in a writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No action or non-action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action or non-action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof shall extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.

11.04Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested, sent by documented overnight delivery service or, to the extent receipt is confirmed, by facsimile or email to the parties at the following addresses (or to such other address as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

11.05Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect as to that jurisdiction, but the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in that or any other jurisdiction so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon any determination that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.06Assignment and Binding Effect. None of the Parties may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

11.07No Benefit to Others. Except as provided in Section 11.08 (the provisions of which Sections shall inure to the benefit of the person or entities benefiting therefrom who are intended to be third party beneficiaries thereof), the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and they shall not be construed as conferring and are not intended to confer any rights on any other persons.

11.08No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, may only be made against the entities and persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement in their capacities as such and no former, current or future stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents or Affiliates of any party hereto, or any former, current or future direct or indirect stockholder, equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, agent or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non‑Recourse Party”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Without limiting the rights of any Party against the other Parties, in no event shall any Party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non‑Recourse Party.

11.09Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific

performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (x) either party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

11.10Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and each party thereto may become a party hereto by executing a counterpart hereof. This Agreement and any counterpart so executed shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

11.11Interpretation. Article titles, headings to sections and the table of contents in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part or to affect the meaning or interpretation hereof. The Schedules referred to herein shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is not intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party hereto shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes hereof. As used herein, “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by “without limitation” whether or not they are in fact followed by such words or words of like import; “writing,” “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words in a visible form; “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and comparable terms refer to the entirety this Agreement and not to any particular article, section or other subdivision hereof or attachment hereto; references to the masculine include the feminine and vice versa; references to the singular include the plural and vice versa; references to this Agreement or other documents are as amended or supplemented from time to time; references to “Article,” “Section” or another subdivision or to an attachment or “Schedule” are to an article, section or subdivision hereof or an attachment or Schedule hereto. Where used with respect to information, the phrases “delivered,” “furnished” or “made available” shall mean that the information referred to has been physically or electronically delivered to the relevant parties or their respective Representatives, including, in the case of “made available” to Purchaser, material that has been posted in a “data room” (virtual or otherwise) established by the Company.

11.12Disclosure. For the purpose of this Agreement, any disclosure made on one Schedule to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure for the purposes of each other Schedule to this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure and without reviewing any other document, including any document referenced in such disclosure, that such disclosure is relevant to such other Schedule. The inclusion of any information on any Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by Parent or the Company, in and of itself, that such information is required to be listed on any Schedule or is material to or outside the ordinary course of the Business. The inclusion of any information on any Schedule relating to possible breaches or violations of, or defaults under any contract or Law shall not be deemed by any person as an admission that any breach or violation of, or default under, any such contract or Law exists, has occurred, is likely to occur or is possible.

11.13No Presumption. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent and there shall be no presumption against the draftsman.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
