The day on which the Closing actually occurs is the “Closing Date”. All proceedings to be taken and all documents to be executed and delivered by all parties at the Closing will be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously, and no proceedings will be deemed to have been taken nor documents executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed, and delivered. Regardless of the time at which the Closing occurs, the Closing will be deemed to have occurred at 12:01 A.M. Eastern Time on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”); provided that, if the Closing occurs on December 31, 2020, the Effective Time shall be 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Closing Date.

(a)Closing Payment. In consideration for the sale of the Units pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.4, at the Closing, Purchaser will pay the Closing Payment in accordance with Section 2.3(c).

(b)Estimated Closing Statement. No later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) detailing (i) Seller’s good faith estimates of (A) Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (B) Closing Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), (C) Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), and (D) Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”), in each case, together with reasonably detailed supporting calculations and documentation, (ii) the PRF Qualified Expenditures Amount, as set forth on the PRF Qualified Expenditures Schedule, (iii) based on such estimates, Seller’s determination of the Closing Payment, and (iv) wire transfer instructions for the payments to be made by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(ii) and (iv). The Estimated Closing Statement will be prepared in a manner consistent with (x) the definitions of the

(c)Payments at Closing. At the Closing, Purchaser will pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds:

(i)to each holder of Estimated Indebtedness set forth in Schedule 2.3(c)(i), the amount specified in the payoff letter provided by such holder of Estimated Indebtedness;

(ii)to each payee of the Estimated Transaction Expenses, the amount of the Estimated Transaction Expenses payable thereto;

(iii)to the Escrow Agent, the Working Capital Escrow Amount, to be held and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; and

The Purchaser Closing Statement will be prepared in a manner consistent with (x) the definitions of the terms Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Transaction Expenses, (y) the Net Working Capital Methodology, and (z) the Agreed Accounting Principles. The Purchaser Closing Statement will entirely disregard (A) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Companies as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except for Transaction Expenses which are separately subject to adjustment hereunder) or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Purchaser or any other transaction entered into by Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) any of the plans, transactions, or changes that Purchaser intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to any Company or its respective businesses or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Purchaser or any of its assets or liabilities. The Purchaser Closing Statement will be based solely on facts and circumstances as they exist as of the Closing and will exclude the effect of any fact, event, change, circumstance, act, development, or decision occurring after the Closing.

(b)Commencing with Purchaser’s delivery of the Purchaser Closing Statement to Seller pursuant to Section 2.4(a), Purchaser will and will cause the Companies to (i) reasonably assist Seller and its representatives in the review of the Purchaser Closing Statement and the related determination of the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Transaction Expenses and any disputes related thereto, (ii)

provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda, and other documents), supporting data, facilities, and employees of the Companies for purposes of Seller’s review of the Purchaser Closing Statement and the related determination of the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Transaction Expenses and any disputes related thereto, and (iii) reasonably cooperate with Seller and its representatives in connection with such review or determination, including providing on a timely basis all other information reasonably necessary or useful in connection with the review of the Purchaser Closing Statement and the related determination of the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Transaction Expenses and any disputes related thereto as is requested by Seller or its representatives; provided that neither Purchaser nor the Companies will be required to provide such access to the extent doing so would reasonably be expected to (i) result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege or other legal privilege or (ii) contravene any applicable Contracts or Laws. Seller will be entitled to conduct the foregoing review of the Purchaser Closing Statement for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of the Purchaser Closing Statement (the “Review Period”); provided that, if requested in writing, Purchaser will grant Seller a reasonable extension of the Review Period if Seller cannot reasonably be expected to complete its review of the Purchaser Closing Statement within such sixty (60) day period due to outstanding requests for information or information that is only made available shortly before the expiration of such sixty (60) day period.

(c)No later than the end of the Review Period, Seller will notify Purchaser in writing (a “Dispute Notification”) of any objections or proposed changes to the Purchaser Closing Statement specifying in detail such objections or proposed changes (each a “Disputed Matter”), or that Seller has no objection to the Purchaser Closing Statement and the calculations of Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Transaction Expenses contained therein. Purchaser and Seller will negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement with respect to any Disputed Matters and all such discussions related thereto (unless otherwise agreed by Purchaser and Seller) will be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any similar state rule.

(d)If Seller does not provide Purchaser with a Dispute Notification by the end of the Review Period or if Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that Seller has no objection to the Purchaser Closing Statement, then the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Transaction Expenses set forth in the Purchaser Closing Statement will be deemed the Final Net Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, and Final Transaction Expenses, respectively.

(e)If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach an agreement on all Disputed Matters within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of a Dispute Notification, then all unresolved Disputed Matters will be submitted to the Accountant who will be engaged and directed to provide, as promptly as possible (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days after such engagement), a final and conclusive resolution of all unresolved Disputed Matters. Each of the Parties will, and will cause their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, and representatives to, provide reasonable cooperation as reasonably requested by the Accountant. Purchaser and Seller agree to execute, if requested by the Accountant,

a reasonable engagement letter in customary form. The Accountant will determine only those issues that constitute unresolved Disputed Matters and may not assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest amount for such item assigned by Purchaser in the Purchaser Closing Statement, on the one hand, or Seller in the Dispute Notification, on the other hand, or less than the smallest amount for such item assigned by Purchaser in the Purchaser Closing Statement, on the one hand, or Seller in the Dispute Notification, on the other hand. The Accountant’s determination will be based solely on written submissions by Purchaser and Seller provided to Accountant within five (5) Business Days of Accountant’s engagement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). Neither Purchaser nor Seller may make any submissions to the Accountant after such five (5) Business Day period unless Purchaser and Seller mutually agree to such submission and neither Party may have any ex parte communications with the Accountant without the prior consent of the other Party. The Accountant’s determination will be made in accordance with (x) the definitions of the terms Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Transaction Expenses, (y) the Net Working Capital Methodology, and (z) the Agreed Accounting Principles. The Accountant’s determination will be set forth in a written report, which will include an explanation of the reasons for its determination on each Disputed Matter and will be final, non-appealable, conclusive, and binding on the parties, absent manifest calculation error.

(f)The procedures set forth in this Section 2.4 for resolving disputes with respect to the calculations of Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Transaction Expenses will be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided, however, that this provision will not prohibit any Party from instituting litigation to enforce any final determination of the Adjusted Closing Payment by the Accountant in any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 11.9. The terms of appointment and engagement of the Accountant will be as agreed between Purchaser and Seller based on reasonable and customary arrangements for such services, and any associated fees and expenses will be allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, as follows: (i) Seller will be responsible for a portion of the fees and expenses of the Accountant equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of Disputed Matters submitted to the Accountant that are resolved in favor of Purchaser (that being the difference between the Accountant’s determination and Seller’s determination) and the denominator of which is the sum of all Disputed Matters submitted to the Accountant; and (ii) Purchaser will be responsible for that portion of the fees and expenses of the Accountant that Seller is not responsible for hereunder. Within ten (10) days of the Accountant’s determination of the Disputed Matters, Seller or Purchaser (as applicable) will pay the other the amount required so that the allocation for responsibility for the Accountant’s fees and expenses is consistent with this Section 2.4(f).

(g)Upon the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, and Final Transaction Expenses:

(i)If the Adjusted Closing Payment is equal to the Closing Payment, then no further payment will be required, and, within five (5) Business Days of the final determination, Purchaser and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in

writing to distribute, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to Seller the full amount of the Working Capital Escrow Amount from the Escrow Fund.

(ii)If the Adjusted Closing Payment is greater than the Closing Payment, then, within five (5) Business Days of the final determination, (A) Purchaser will pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to Seller such excess, and (B) Purchaser and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to distribute, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to Seller the full amount of the Working Capital Escrow Amount from the Escrow Fund.

(iii)If the Adjusted Closing Payment is less than the Closing Payment, then, within five (5) Business Days of the final determination, Purchaser and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to distribute, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to (A) Purchaser an amount equal to such shortfall from (and up to the amount of) the Working Capital Escrow Amount, it being understood and agreed by Purchaser that if the amount of such shortfall is greater than the Working Capital Escrow Amount, Purchaser will be entitled only to the full amount of the Working Capital Escrow Amount, which will be the sole and exclusive remedy and source of recovery for Purchaser with respect to any such shortfall, and Purchaser will not have any claim for, and hereby releases Seller, and all other Persons from any obligation in respect of, any additional amounts in connection therewith, and (B) Seller the remainder of the Working Capital Escrow Amount (if any).

(h)All payments required pursuant to Section 2.4(g) will be deemed to be adjustments to the purchase price for Tax purposes.

Section 2.5Tax Withholding. Purchaser or any agent of the Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the purchase price, or other payment otherwise payable by it pursuant to this Agreement, any amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code (or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. law) with respect to the making of such payment; provided that Purchaser shall be required to provide Seller with reasonable advance written notice of any intention to deduct and withhold any such amount otherwise payable to Seller and to cooperate in good faith with Seller to reduce or eliminate any such deduction and withholding; provided, further that no deduction and withholding of any amount otherwise payable to Seller shall be made if Seller has delivered the certificate described in Section 8.2(f) and a Form W-9, as required. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid by the Purchaser.

Section 6.5Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser will and will cause the Companies to (i) indemnify and hold harmless (and release from any liability to Purchaser or the Companies) each Person who on or prior to the Closing Date was a director, manager, or officer of any Company (each, an “Indemnitee”) against and from all (A) attorneys’ fees and all other costs, charges, and expenses (collectively, “D&O Expenses”) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in, or participate in any threatened, pending, or completed Action based on, arising out of, or relating to the fact that such Person is or was a director, manager, or officer, of any Company arising out of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing (including in respect of acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby) (a “D&O Indemnifiable Claim”) and (B) losses, claims, damages, judgments, or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “D&O Costs”) in respect of any D&O Indemnifiable Claim and (ii) pay on an as-incurred basis all D&O Expenses in advance of the final disposition of any Action that is the subject of the right to indemnification; provided that the Person to whom such D&O Expenses are to be

advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of Purchaser and Companies under this Section 6.5 with respect to any Action will continue in effect until the final resolution of such Action.

(b)Until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser will, and will cause each Company to, cause to be maintained in effect provisions in the Organizational Documents of such Company (or in such documents of any successor to the business of such Company) regarding exculpation and elimination of liability of and indemnification in favor of each Indemnitee, in each case that are no less advantageous to the intended beneficiaries than the corresponding provisions in existence as of the Closing.

(c)At the Closing, Purchaser will cause the Companies to purchase, and the Companies will purchase (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) and maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years thereafter, (i) an extended reporting period (“tail”) to the current policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Companies, which period will be effective for a period from the Closing through and including the date six (6) years after the Closing Date with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing and (ii) “run‑off” coverage as provided by the Companies’ fiduciary and employee benefit policies, in each case, covering those Persons who are covered on the date hereof by such policies and with terms, conditions, retentions, and limits of liability that are no less advantageous than the coverage provided under the Companies’ existing policies. Purchaser will, and will cause each Company to, maintain such insurance policies and not cancel or change such insurance policies in any respect.

(d)In the event that Purchaser or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates any Company with or merges any Company into any other Person and such Company is not the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of such Company’s properties and assets to any Person, then in each such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of such Company will assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 6.5.

(e)Purchaser hereby acknowledges (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Companies)) that the Indemnitees may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, or insurance provided by current equityholders or other Affiliates of Seller, the Companies or their respective equityholders (the “Indemnitee Affiliates”) separate from the indemnification obligations of Purchaser and the Companies hereunder. The Parties agree that (i) Purchaser and the Companies are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., their obligations to the Indemnitees are primary and any obligation of any Indemnitee Affiliate to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees are secondary), (ii) Purchaser and the Companies will be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Indemnitees and will be liable for the full amount of all D&O Costs and D&O Expenses to the extent legally permitted, without regard to any rights the Indemnitees may have against any Indemnitee Affiliate, and (iii) Purchaser and the Companies (on

behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates) irrevocably waive, relinquish, and release the Indemnitee Affiliates from any and all claims against the Indemnitee Affiliates for contribution, subrogation, or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof, in each case, if and to the extent an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under the Organizational Documents of any Company and, in case of any advances, subject to such Indemnitee’s providing an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

(f)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 6.5 will survive the consummation of the Closing. The obligations of Purchaser and the Companies under this Section 6.5 will not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Person to whom this Section 6.5 applies without the consent of the affected person (it being expressly agreed that the Persons to whom this Section 6.5 applies will be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.5). The provisions of this Section 6.5 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each such Person, his or her heirs, and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have under this Agreement, by contract, or otherwise.

Seller and Purchaser will use all commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing Date to preserve all such privileges and neither Seller nor Purchaser will knowingly waive any such privilege without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 6.7Public Announcements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Stonehenge Partners, Inc. may issue any announcement or communication related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in connection with fundraising, marketing, regulatory, compliance, audit, or reporting in the ordinary course of business, including to current and prospective investors in Stonehenge Partners, Inc. and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will Purchaser or, after the Closing, the Companies, have any right to use Stonehenge Partners, Inc.’s name, marks, logos, or any abbreviation, variation, or derivative thereof, in any press release, public announcement or other public document or communication without the

express written consent of Stonehenge Partners, Inc., except to the extent required by Law. Effective as of the Closing Date, each of the Companies grants to Seller, Stonehenge Partners, Inc. and its Affiliates and each of their respective successors and assigns a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide right and license to use the name and related marks and logos of the Companies on its printed materials and website and in other forms and media for the sole purpose of describing the prior ownership of, or Stonehenge Partners, Inc.’s and any of its Affiliates’ current or former interest in, Seller and the Companies.

Section 6.8Post-Closing Access. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Purchaser will cause the Companies to provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable access, upon reasonable prior notice, during normal business hours to the personnel, books, and records (for the purpose of examining and copying) of the Companies with respect to periods or occurrences prior to or on the Closing Date in connection with any matter, whether or not relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Seller, Purchaser will not, and will cause the Companies and their respective Affiliates not to, alter, dispose of, or destroy any books and records of any Company, or any portions thereof, relating to periods prior to the Closing Date without first offering such records to Seller, and Seller will have ninety (90) days after such offer to agree to take possession thereof. Purchaser will cause the Companies to make available to Seller and its representatives such records and personnel of the Companies familiar therewith as may be reasonably requested by Seller, upon reasonable prior notice, in connection with claims by or against Seller or any of its Affiliates related to the Companies or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Other than to the extent relating to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period, nothing in this Section 6.8 shall require Purchaser to provide Seller or its representatives with any access, books or records of the Companies to the extent Purchaser reasonably determines in good faith that such access, books or records would disclose competitively sensitive information or information protected by attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrine.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser will cause the Companies (i) to keep in effect for at least one (1) year following the Closing severance and retention plans, practices, and policies applicable to Company Employees as of immediately prior to the Closing that are not less favorable than such plans, practices, and policies in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing with respect to such Company Employees, and Purchaser will, and will cause the Companies to, indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any severance, termination, or retention liabilities or obligations with respect to such employees effective on and after the Closing and (ii) to ensure, and the Companies immediately following the Closing agree to ensure, that all Company Employees who were notified of their target bonuses for the current fiscal year receive annual bonuses at least equal to the target bonuses to which such employees would be entitled under the applicable bonus arrangements of the Companies as of immediately prior to the Closing.

(c)Following the Closing, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Companies (i) to ensure that no limitations or exclusions as to pre-existing conditions, evidence of insurability or good health, waiting periods or actively-at-work exclusions, or other limitations or restrictions on coverage are applicable to any Company Employees or their dependents or beneficiaries under any health and welfare benefit plans in which such employees may be eligible to participate and (ii) to provide or cause to be provided any costs or expenses incurred by Company Employees (and their dependents or beneficiaries) up to (and including) the Closing will be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, co-payment, coinsurance, maximum out-of-pocket provisions, and like adjustments or limitations on coverage under any such health and welfare benefit plans.

Seller or the Companies will have obtained and delivered to Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date payoff letters or evidence of termination of any revolving loan or credit facility, as applicable, with respect to any Estimated Indebtedness set forth in Schedule 2.3(c)(i), which shall provide for release and termination of all security interests in respect of such indebtedness upon the applicable holders’ receipt of the applicable payoff amounts, and customary release letters, lien terminations (including UCC-3 financing statements) or other instruments in form and substance sufficient to secure the complete discharge and termination of any liens securing such indebtedness.

Section 6.11RWI Policy. Immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser will instruct the insurer(s) and underwriter of the RWI Policy to bind the RWI Policy, and Purchaser will fulfill as soon as practicable all contingencies or conditions included in the RWI Policy Binder Agreement and will otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the RWI Policy is issued as soon as practicable thereafter. Purchaser may not amend, terminate, modify, or permit to lapse the RWI Policy or the RWI Policy Binder Agreement in a manner that would adversely affect Seller without the prior written consent of Seller or otherwise take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the failure of the RWI Policy to be issued in accordance with the terms of the RWI Policy Binder Agreement. Purchaser will deliver to Seller (a) a copy of the RWI Policy Binder Agreement promptly after the binding of the RWI Policy; (b) a copy of the RWI Policy promptly after the issuance of the RWI Policy; and (c) each amendment to the RWI Policy promptly after the adoption thereof.

Section 6.12Exclusivity. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, neither Seller nor the Companies will, or permit any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents to: (a) solicit, initiate discussions or engage in negotiations with any Person (whether such negotiations are initiated by Seller, the Companies, an Affiliate of the Companies or Seller, a third party or otherwise), other than Purchaser or its Affiliates, relating to the possible acquisition of any material portion of the equity or assets of Seller or the Companies (whether by way of merger, purchase of equity, purchase of assets, loan or otherwise) or a refinancing or recapitalization of the Companies or Seller (an “Acquisition Transaction”); (b) provide non-public information or documentation with respect to the Companies to any Person, other than Purchaser or its Affiliates or its or their respective representatives, relating to an Acquisition Transaction; or (c) enter into any definitive agreement with any Person, other than Purchaser or its Affiliates effecting an Acquisition Transaction; provided, however, that Purchaser hereby acknowledges that prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller and the Companies have provided information relating to Seller and

the Companies and have afforded access to, and engaged in discussions with, other Persons in connection with a proposed Acquisition Transaction and that such information, access and discussions could reasonably allow the Person to form a basis for an Acquisition Transaction without any breach by Seller or the Companies of this Section 6.12 .

Section 6.13Further Assurances.

(a)At any time and from time to time after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller will execute and deliver all documents, instruments, agreements, assignments, and assurances and take and do all such other actions and things as may be reasonably requested by the other Parties to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)In addition, prior to (subject to Section 6.2(a)), and until the one (1) year anniversary of, the Closing, Seller will provide to Purchaser information reasonably requested by Purchaser that is not already in Purchaser’s or the Companies’ possession to enable Purchaser’s parent to make any required filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a filing under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act; provided, however, that such requested cooperation or provision of information will not unreasonably interfere with the business or ongoing operations of Seller or any Company or be required if such cooperation causes any representation or warranty set forth in ARTICLE III to be breached or causes any closing condition set forth in ARTICLE VIII to fail to be satisfied or otherwise causes the breach of this Agreement or any Contract by the applicable Company party thereto. All such cooperation or assistance by Seller contemplated by this Section 6.13(b) will be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. Purchaser will promptly reimburse Seller and the Companies (as applicable) for any expenses and costs incurred in connection with Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.13(b) and will indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, the Companies and their respective equityholders, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys and advisors from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with Seller’s obligations or actions taken in accordance with this Section 6.13(b) and any information utilized in connection therewith. Nothing in this Section 6.13(b) shall require Seller to provide Purchaser or its representatives with any information to the extent Seller reasonably determines in good faith that such information would disclose competitively sensitive information or information protected by attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrine.

Section 6.14Ohio Workers’ Compensation Rebate. To the extent that the Companies have not received by the Closing Date the full amount of the rebate (in the form of a check or otherwise) that the Companies are entitled to receive from the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (the “Bureau”) in connection with the Bureau’s approval of a dividend on November 2, 2020 (the “Rebate”), after the Closing Date and upon receipt of any such funds, Purchaser shall, and/or shall cause the Companies to, remit the full amount of any such Rebate received by the Companies to Seller as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 3 Business Days) after any Companies’ receipt of such Rebate.

ARTICLE VII
TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns. Purchaser will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Companies (which, for the sake of clarity, excludes Tax Returns of Seller) for all periods ending prior to, on, or including the Closing Date, but only if not filed on or prior to the Closing. All such Tax Returns will be prepared and filed consistent with the past practices of the Companies; provided that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no position will be taken in any such Tax Return that is not supportable on a “more likely than not” basis. At least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date on which each such Tax Return is filed, Purchaser will submit such Tax Return to Seller for Seller’s review and comments, but only to the extent such Tax Returns will be filed prior to the determination of Closing Indebtedness and Final Net Working Capital. Purchaser will make any changes reasonably requested by Seller.

Section 7.2Apportionment of Taxes. All Taxes with respect to the Companies that relate to a Straddle Period will be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the post-Closing portion of the Straddle Period as follows: (a) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or measured by reference to income, receipts, profits, sales, or payroll, such Taxes apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will 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 will 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 and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

Section 7.3Transfer Taxes. Purchaser will pay, and will indemnify and hold Seller harmless against, any transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, and real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, excise tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed on any Company or Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties or interest with respect to the Transfer Taxes. Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including by promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns.

Section 7.4Filing and Amendment of Tax Returns. Prior to the determination of Final Closing Indebtedness and Final Net Working Capital, without the prior written consent of Seller (which may be withheld for any reason or for no reason), Purchaser will not (a) except for Tax Returns that are filed pursuant to Section 7.1 in jurisdictions where the Companies have previously filed Tax Returns, file or amend or permit any member of the Companies to file or amend any Tax Return relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (b) with respect to Tax Returns filed pursuant to Section 7.1, after the date such Tax Returns are filed pursuant to Section 7.1, amend or permit any Company to amend any such Tax Return, (c) make or change any Tax election or accounting method or practice with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (d) initiate any voluntary disclosure proceeding relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Section 7.5Tax Refunds. Except to the extent reflected as an asset in Final Net Working Capital, any Tax refunds that are received by Purchaser or any Company, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Purchaser or any Company becomes entitled in a Tax period ending after the Closing Date, in each case, that relate to Ohio commercial activity Taxes for Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date will be for the account of Seller. Purchaser will pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within five (5) days after actual receipt of such refund or entitlement to such credit against Taxes. In addition, if the amount of City of Columbus income Taxes for the taxable period beginning on January 1, 2020 and ending on the Closing Date included in Accrued Identified Taxes exceeds the actual amount of such Taxes, then Purchaser shall pay Seller the amount of such excess within five (5) days after the City of Columbus municipal income Tax Return for 2020 is filed.

Section 7.6Tax Allocation. The Adjusted Closing Payment payable to Seller, together with all assumed liabilities and other capitalized costs for federal income Tax purposes, will be allocated among the Companies and the assets of the Companies for all Tax purposes in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and the methodology (the “Allocation Methodology”) set forth on Schedule 7.6 (the “Allocation”). No later than thirty (30) days after the determination of the final determination of the Adjusted Closing Payment pursuant to Section 2.4, Purchaser will provide Seller with a draft schedule of the Allocation prepared in accordance with the Allocation Methodology (the “Draft Allocation Schedule”). If Seller objects to any item on such Draft Allocation Schedule, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Draft Allocation Schedule, notify Purchaser in writing that Seller so objects, describing with reasonable detail any such item, including the factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such items. If such notice of objection is not so duly delivered, or if Purchaser and Seller are able to agree on a resolution on all disputed items in the Draft Allocation Schedule, then the Draft Allocation Schedule, as initially prepared by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.6 or as modified in accordance with such resolution, shall be the final determination of the Allocation (the “Final Allocation Schedule”). If Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree on a resolution to any disputed items within ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of the foregoing thirty (30) day period, such unresolved disputed items shall be submitted to the Accountant for resolution in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 2.4, mutatis mutandis (provided that, any fees and expenses of the Accountant incurred in connection with the determination of the Final Allocation Schedule pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by the Seller), which resolution shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 7.6, shall be limited to the remaining unresolved disputed items and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. In such case, the Draft Allocation Schedule, as modified by the Accountant in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, shall be the Final Allocation Schedule.

Section 7.7Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Seller and Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return of the Companies or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Companies. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax

authorities. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Companies for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other Party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods.

Furthermore, the Parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations. All Parties to this Agreement specifically acknowledge that no Party has any special relationship with another Party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction.

Section 11.4Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned, delegated, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred by any Party (by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment without the required consents will be void. Purchaser and its Affiliates retain all risks and obligations if they enter into any agreement with any Person that is broader than or inconsistent or conflicts with their rights, interests, or obligations hereunder, and any such broader, inconsistent, or conflicting right, obligation, covenant, or agreement will not be effective or binding against Seller, the Companies, or their respective Affiliates. Upon any permitted assignment by Purchaser, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser will also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

Section 11.5Amendment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time prior to the Closing. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing making specific reference to this Agreement signed by each of the Parties; provided, that (a) any amendment to this Agreement after the Closing will only require the written consent of Purchaser and Seller, (b) Section 6.5 may not be amended or waived without the prior written consent of a majority of the Indemnitees, and (c) Section 6.7 may not be amended or waived without the prior written consent of Stonehenge Partners, Inc.

Section 11.6Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, any Party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (b) waive any breaches of or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) subject to the requirements of applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Except as provided by applicable Law, no waiver of this Agreement will require the approval of the stockholders or members (as applicable) of Purchaser or Seller. Any such extension or waiver will be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties making such waiver. The failure or delay of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or otherwise will not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies nor will any single or partial exercise by any Party to this Agreement of any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies under this Agreement. Except as expressly provided therein, no waiver will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No omission or course of dealing on the part of any of the Parties in exercising any right, power, or remedy will operate as a waiver thereof.

Section 11.7Parties in Interest. Except as expressly provided by this Agreement, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or will be construed to or will confer upon any other Person any right, claim, cause of action, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, including by way of subrogation. Except as expressly provided by this Agreement, this Agreement will not provide third parties with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action, or other right in excess of those existing without reference to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.8Governing Law. This Agreement, any controversy related to or arising, directly or indirectly, out of, caused by, or resulting from this Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of, or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, performance, non-performance, interpretation, termination, or construction of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) or the legal relationship among the parties hereto will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such State, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 11.9Jurisdiction. SUBJECT TO Section 2.4 (WHICH WILL GOVERN ANY DISPUTE ARISING THEREUNDER), EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE OR (BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT THE CHANCERY COURT DECLINES JURISDICTION) THE DELAWARE STATE COURTS OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE AND ANY APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM (THE “CHOSEN COURTS”) IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LEGAL RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES, AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. SUBJECT TO Section 2.4 (WHICH WILL GOVERN ANY DISPUTE ARISING THEREUNDER), EACH PARTY ALSO WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT: (A) ANY DEFENSE TO JURISDICTION OR VENUE IN THE CHOSEN COURTS FOR ANY ACTION RELATING TO THE INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, THE LEGAL RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES, AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, (B) THAT THIS AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY THE CHOSEN COURTS, (C) THAT THEIR PROPERTY IS EXEMPT OR IMMUNE FROM EXECUTION, AND (D) THAT THE ACTION IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION GOVERNED BY THIS Section 11.9 MAY BE MADE UPON A PARTY BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS AS PROVIDED IN Section 11.1. THE PROVISIONS OF Section 11.10 BELOW RELATING TO THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL WILL APPLY TO ANY SUCH PROCEEDING. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ANY FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT AGAINST IT IN ANY PROCEEDING DESCRIBED IN THIS Section 11.9 WILL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WITHIN OR OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES BY SUIT ON SUCH JUDGMENT, A CERTIFIED COPY OF WHICH WILL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE FACT AND AMOUNT OF SUCH JUDGMENT. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Section 11.10Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES. ACCORDINGLY AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE AND REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION. SUBJECT TO Section 2.4 (WHICH WILL GOVERN ANY DISPUTE ARISING THEREUNDER), THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION WILL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL IN

THE CHOSEN COURTS WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 11.10.

Section 11.11Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 11.12Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument. This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine, email, .PDF, or other electronic transmission, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any Party, each other Party will re-execute original forms hereof and thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No Party hereto or thereto will raise the use of a facsimile machine, email, .PDF, or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine, email, .PDF, or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense.

Section 11.13Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the subject matter of this Agreement is unique, that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, and that remedies at law would not be adequate to compensate any Party. Accordingly, each Party agrees that Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including to enforce the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled (without any requirement that any Party provide any bond or other security). Each Party waives any defense that a remedy at law is adequate and any requirement to post bond or provide similar security in connection with Actions instituted for injunctive relief or specific performance of this Agreement. Each Party agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement.

Section 11.14Construction; Interpretation. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Prior drafts of this Agreement will not be used to interpret this Agreement. The recitals are incorporated into this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: (a) words importing the singular will also include the plural, and vice versa, (b) each reference in this Agreement to any gender includes the masculine, feminine, and neuter, where appropriate, (c) the words “include” and “including” and variations thereof will not be deemed terms of limitation but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” (d) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and derivative or similar words refer to this Agreement as an entirety and not solely to any particular provision of this Agreement, (e) each reference in this Agreement to a particular Article, Section, Exhibit, or Schedule means an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement, unless another agreement is specified, (f) the word “or” when used in this Agreement is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive, (g) any accounting term not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to it under GAAP, and (h) all references to “$” means U.S. Dollars. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, unless specified otherwise, such number will refer to calendar days. Any document or item will be deemed “delivered,” “provided,” or “made available” within the meaning of this Agreement if such document or item is (i) included in the Data Room, or (ii) actually delivered or provided to Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s representatives.

Section 11.15Rights Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly limited by this Agreement, all rights and remedies of each of the parties will be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement or applicable Law.

Section 11.16Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party will pay for its own legal, accounting, investment banking, and valuation services, and any and all other costs and expenses incurred with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, and the performance of its obligations hereunder.

Section 11.17Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule will be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if it were set forth verbatim in this Agreement. The mere inclusion of information in the Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation, warranty, or covenant (a) will not be deemed an admission by any Party that such information represents a material exception or a material fact, event, or circumstance or that such information has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and (b) will not constitute, or be deemed to be, an admission to any third party concerning such information. The provision of monetary or other quantitative thresholds for disclosure on the Disclosure Schedule does not and will not be deemed to create or imply a standard of materiality hereunder. The Disclosure Schedule is not intended to constitute, and will not be construed as constituting, representations or warranties of Seller except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement and will not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any such representations or warranties. Any fact or item that is disclosed in any section of the Disclosure Schedule will be deemed to be disclosed in every other section of the Disclosure Schedule, notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross-reference thereto, if the

applicability of such fact or item to such other section of the Disclosure Schedule is reasonably apparent. Disclosure of any allegations with respect to any alleged breach, violation, or default under any contractual or other obligation, or any law, is not an admission that such breach, violation, or default has occurred. Headings and subheadings have been inserted in the Disclosure Schedule for convenience of reference only and will not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of the Disclosure Schedule. Where a contract has been summarized or described in the Disclosure Schedule, such summary or description does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms of such contract, and all such summaries and descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the contract being summarized or described. The information provided in the Disclosure Schedule is being provided solely for the purpose of making disclosures to Purchaser under this Agreement. In disclosing this information, the Companies and Seller do not waive, and expressly reserve any rights under, any attorney-client privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed therein. Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedule but not otherwise defined therein will have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in this Agreement.

Section 11.18Consents. Purchaser acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to Contracts, leases, licenses, or other agreements to which a Company is a party (including the Material Contracts) and such consents have not been and may not be obtained. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that neither the Companies nor Seller will have any liability whatsoever to Purchaser (and Purchaser will not be entitled to assert any claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration, or termination of any such Contract, lease, license, or other agreement as a result thereof. Purchaser further agrees that no covenant or agreement of the Companies or Seller contained in this Agreement will be breached or deemed breached and no condition precedent to the obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be deemed not to be satisfied as a result of the failure to obtain any consent or as a result of any such default, acceleration, or termination or any Action commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consent or any such default, acceleration, or termination.

Section 11.19Legal Representation. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Seller, its equityholders, and the Companies have been represented by Benesch, Friedlander, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP (“Benesch”) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and that Benesch has received confidential information pertaining to Seller and the Companies in connection with such representation. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Companies), hereby (a) acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding Xxxxxxx’x prior representation of Seller and the Companies and Xxxxxxx’x receipt of confidential information, Benesch may represent Seller, its equityholders, and their Affiliates after the Closing in connection with matters arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including in connection with any litigation matter arising hereunder which may or may not be adverse to the Companies or Purchaser and (b) waives any claim it has or may have that Benesch has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation. Purchaser further agrees that, as to all communications subject to attorney-client privilege among Benesch, the Companies, Seller and its equityholders that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belong to Seller and may be controlled by Seller and its equityholders and will not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or the Companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises among Purchaser, the Companies, and a Person other than a party to this Agreement after the Closing, the Companies may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications with Benesch to such third party, and Seller may not waive any attorney-client privilege with respect to such communications without the prior written consent of Purchaser.
