(G) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, the right of any Party to receive payment in respect of the Additional Earnout, together with each other right set forth in this Section 2(f)(ii), (A) is solely a contractual right and is not a security for purposes of any federal or state securities Laws, and (B) shall not be assigned (by operation of law, merger (whether as

agrees that, from and after the Closing, the Buyer shall be permitted to operate the Business in its sole and absolute discretion, without regard to the effects that such operation of the Business may have on the calculation of the payment made or
that otherwise may have been made under this Section 2(f)(ii).
(iii) Disputes.
(A) In the event the Seller in good faith disputes any Earnout Payment
Calculation or the amount of Additional Earnout, then the Seller shall deliver a written notice of dispute to the Buyer setting forth in detail the nature of the dispute within ten (10) days after receipt of the Earnout Payment Calculation and
the calculation of Additional Earnout (“Earnout Dispute Notice”). The Seller and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute
16
within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Earnout Dispute Notice. During such thirty (30) day period, the Seller shall (on a confidential
basis) have access to a copy of the records of the Buyer necessary to verify the Earnout Payment Calculation and the calculation of Additional Earnout. The Buyer shall provide such copy within five (5) business days after receiving a request from
the Seller. If the parties cannot resolve such dispute within such thirty (30) day period (the “Disputed
Items”), and the Seller or the Buyer so requests by notice in writing to the other, then, within five (5) Business Days following delivery of such request, the Seller and the Buyer shall engage Citrin Xxxxxxxxx & Company, LLP
or if Citrin Xxxxxxxxx & Company, LLP is unable or unwilling to accept such engagement (whether as a result of conflicts or otherwise), a nationally-recognized accounting firm as is reasonably agreed to by the
Seller and the Buyer (in any case, the “Arbitrator”) to resolve the Disputed Items. The Seller and the Buyer shall execute any engagement or similar agreement reasonably
requested by the Arbitrator. A single partner of the Arbitrator selected by the Arbitrator in accordance with its normal procedures shall act for the Arbitrator in connection with such engagement. The Seller and the Buyer shall instruct the
Arbitrator to render, within thirty (30) days following its engagement, a written determination and report (based solely on presentations by the Seller and the Buyer to the Arbitrator, and not by independent review) as to the Disputed Items
(excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any item that is not set forth in a timely Objection Notice) and the resulting calculation of the Earnout Payment Calculation and the calculation
of Additional Earnout. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to resolve any other issues that may arise in connection with this Agreement, including whether the Objection Notice was delivered within the Objection Period. In
determining each Disputed Item, the Arbitrator may not assign a value to such item greater than the greatest value, or lower than the lowest value, claimed for such item by either the Buyer in such Adjustment Report or the Seller in
such Objection Notice. The Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate with the Arbitrator in making its determination and such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties absent fraud or manifest error. The fees and disbursements
of the Arbitrator shall be paid by the Seller, on the one hand, and by the Buyer, on the other hand, on an inversely proportional basis, based upon the relative difference between the amounts in dispute submitted to the Arbitrator and the
Arbitrator’s determination of such amounts. Each of the Buyer and the Seller shall pay its own fees and expenses related to such determination. For the avoidance of doubt, whether or not an Arbitrator is engaged, (A) each item that was raised
in a timely Objection Notice but that is a not a Disputed Item shall have the value as was agreed to between the Seller and the Buyer, (B) each item that was not raised in a timely Objection Notice shall have the value set forth in the Adjustment
Report, and (C) each item that was raised in neither a timely Objection Notice nor an Adjustment Report shall have the value set forth in the Estimated Statement. In the event that the
Seller fails to deliver the Earnout Dispute Notice within the ten (10) day time period set forth in this subsection, the Earnout Payment Calculation and the calculation of Additional Earnout shall be deemed final and conclusive. In the event
that the Seller does deliver an Earnout Dispute Notice, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller on or before ten (10) days following the resolution of the dispute raised in the Earnout Dispute Notice, the Earnout Payment agreed to by the Parties or
specified by the Arbitrator, as applicable.
(B) In the event that the Seller does not deliver an Earnout Dispute
Notice, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller on or before sixty (60) days following the end of the Measurement Period covered by the Earnout Payment Calculation, the Earnout Payment reflected thereon, if any and any Additional Earnout due.
17
(g) Payments Subsequent to Closing. In addition to the payments by the Buyer to the Seller set forth above in Section 2(b), the Buyer shall, assuming the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) below, deliver to the Seller’s Representative (or cause to be made) the payments in clauses (i) and (ii):

wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank accounts designated in writing by the Seller’s Representative to the Buyer, an amount equal to $500,000.00 on the delivery and passing of acceptance test of the commercial model of

(h) Tax Allocations. Not later
than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a schedule (the “Tax Allocations”) allocating the Purchase Price (as the same may be adjusted as expressly provided for herein), including the Earnout Amount (if any),
the Additional Earnout Amount (if any) and the Assumed Liabilities, among the Purchased Assets in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 1060 of the Code and
the regulations promulgated thereunder), and such allocation will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto for all purposes. The Buyer and the Seller shall each file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) in a
manner consistent with such allocation (including the filing of IRS Form 8594), unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Neither the Buyer nor the Seller shall take any position with respect to Taxes that is inconsistent with the agreed upon
allocation, including in any audit or examination by any Tax authority, unless otherwise requed by applicable Law. The Buyer and the Seller shall prepare and timely file such reports and information returns as may be required under applicable
Laws to report the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchases Assets in accordance with the Tax Allocations. Each Party agrees to notify the other party in the event that any Tax authority takes or proposes to take a position for Tax
purposes that is inconsistent with the allocation set forth in the Tax Allocations.
(i) Audit Rights. Buyer agrees to maintain accurate and complete records of all contracts, papers, correspondence, accounts, invoices, data and/or other information in Buyer’s
possession relating to the sale of the Products and any related revenues and consumables (the “Records”) during the Term for a period of two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement. Upon no less than fifteen (15) business days’ notice
and not more than once in each fiscal quarter, Buyer shall permit a certified public accounting firm selected by the Seller at the Seller’s sole expense to have access during normal business hours to such records of the Buyer as may be reasonably
necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of the Earnout Payment and the Additional Earnout. The accounting firm selected by the Seller shall prepare a report stating whether the calculation of Earnout
Payment and the Additional Earnout were correct or whether and to what extent an overcharge or underpayment was made. The Seller shall provide the Buyer with the accounting firm's written report within thirty (30) days of completion of such
report. If the accounting firm concludes that the Buyer underpaid the Additional Earnout to the Seller, then the Buyer shall pay the amount due within thirty (30) days after the day the Seller delivers the accounting firm's written report to the
Buyer. If the accounting firm concludes that the Buyer overpaid the Additional Earnout to the Seller, then the Seller shall pay the amount due within thirty
18
(30) days after the day the Seller delivers the accounting firm's written report to the Buyer. The Seller shall bear the
full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses that the underpayment of the Royalty by the Buyer for the period audited is greater than five percent (5%) from the amount actually paid, in which case the Buyer shall (a) pay the fees and
expenses charged by the accounting firm; and (b) pay interest on the amount of the underpayment at the rate of 10% per annum from the time when such underpayment was originally due to the Seller.

services, (ii) has granted any exclusive rights, (iii) has granted any options, (iv) has granted any rights of first offer or refusal, or (v) has granted any “most-favored-nation” right, special discount right, or similar right; and

(collectively, the “Acquired Intellectual Property”). For each item of Acquired Intellectual Property, Schedule 4(l)(i) sets forth the registration, patent, serial and/or application number, if any, the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller that owns or holds or grants, as applicable to such Acquired
Intellectual Property, the date issued (if issued), date granted, and date filed (if filed), and the Governmental Authority or other entity with which any such application has been filed and/or which has issued, reissued and/or renewed any such
patent, registration or license, as applicable. The completion of the Contemplated Transactions will not (A) impair any rights of the Seller under, or cause any Seller to be in violation of or default under, any Contract under which it has the
right to use or otherwise commercialize or exploit in any way any Acquired Intellectual Property, (B) give rise to any termination or modification of, or entitle any other party to terminate or modify, any such Contract, or (C) require the
payment of (or increase the amount of) any royalties, fees, or other consideration with respect to the Seller’s use or exploitation of any Acquired Intellectual Property other than (y) fees and expenses required to record the transfer of its
ownership; and (z) maintenance, renewal and other fees payable in the ordinary course. The Seller represents the Acquired Intellectual Property is valid, subsisting, and enforceable, and the Seller has taken all action necessary or reasonably

Property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Seller has to the extent possible filed all affidavits or other documents regarding its registered trademarks that are required or useful to render such trademarks incontestable
or otherwise enhance the scope or strength thereof and (ii) all assignments and licenses of any Acquired Intellectual Property to the Seller or any predecessor in interest thereof have been timely and properly recorded with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office, or other appropriate agency to the extent required or reasonably advisable. Neither Principal owns or holds any Intellectual Property that is used, commercialized or exploited in any way, or
anticipated to be used, commercialized or exploited in any way, by the Seller.
(ii) Seller has the right under
a valid and enforceable license set forth on Schedule 4(l)(ii) (or under a valid and enforceable license to Off the Shelf Software), to use and otherwise
commercialize or exploit subject to the terms of the license therefor, all licensed Intellectual Property (“Acquired Licensed IP”). The Acquired
Intellectual Property and the Acquired Licensed IP collectively constitutes all of the Intellectual Property related to, used in, or necessary for the operation of the Business. To the Knowledge of the Seller, none of the licenses to the
Acquired Licensed IP exclusively licensed to the Seller is invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part. Except as set forth on Schedule 4(l)(ii), no loss
or expiration of any of the Acquired Licensed IP is pending, reasonably foreseeable or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened.
(iii) Except as set forth on Schedule 4(l)(iii): (A) the use of the Acquired Intellectual Property, and the conduct of the Business, has not and to Seller’s Knowledge does not infringe upon
or misappropriate any intellectual property rights of any Person, whether directly, vicariously, indirectly, contributorily or otherwise; (B) no claims or allegations of infringement or unauthorized use involving any Acquired Intellectual
Property or challenging the Seller’s ownership of Intellectual Property owned or purported to be owned by the Seller or right to use, commercialize or exploit any other Intellectual Property is pending by or against any third party,
25
or have been made in writing against the Seller, and, to the Seller’s Knowledge, there is no basis for any such claim; (C) there are no pending claims or
allegations or, to the Seller’s Knowledge, threatened claims of infringement, misappropriation or unauthorized use of any third party Intellectual Property or technology against the Seller and no such claims or allegations have been made against
any Seller and there is no basis for any such claim; (D) the Seller has not received any notices of, and, to the Seller’s Knowledge, there are no facts which indicate a likelihood of, any direct, vicarious, indirect, contributory or other
infringement, violation or misappropriation by any Seller of any Intellectual Property (including any cease and desist letters or demands or offers to license any Intellectual Property from any other Person); (E) to the Seller’s Knowledge, none of
the Acquired Intellectual Property is being infringed, misappropriated or otherwise used or available for use by any Person other than the Seller; and (F) none of the Acquired Intellectual Property is or has ever been subject to any Governmental
Order.
(iv) Except as set forth on Schedule 4(l)(iv), all Acquired Intellectual Property set forth on Schedule 4(l)(i)
is in full force and effect, all renewal and other maintenance filings and fees with respect thereto have been made and paid (to the extent due and payable prior to the date hereof), all other required maintenance actions have been taken, and all
such intellectual property rights are valid and enforceable.
(v) Seller has not taken any
action which has in any way adversely affected its ownership of any portion of the Acquired Intellectual Property or its use of any Acquired Licensed Intellectual Property, or permitted any such Intellectual Property to enter the public domain.
Except as set forth on Schedule 4(l)(v), (A) no licensing fees, royalties, or payments are due and payable in connection with the Seller’s use of any
Intellectual Property, and (B) the Seller has not licensed or otherwise granted any right to any Person under any Acquired Intellectual Property or has otherwise agreed not to assert any such Acquired Intellectual Property against any Person.
(vi) All employees of the
Seller who participated in the creation or contributed to the conception or development of Intellectual Property owned or purported to be owned by the Seller relating to the Business were employees of the Seller at the time of rendering such
services and such services were within the scope of their employment or such employees have otherwise validly assigned such Intellectual Property to the Seller or were contractors who assigned such Intellectual Property to the Seller. Except as
set forth on Schedule 4(l)(vi), no director, manager, officer, equityholder, employee, consultant, contractor, agent or other representative of the Seller,
including each Principal, owns or, to the Seller’s Knowledge, claims any rights in (nor has any of them made application for) any Intellectual Property owned or used by the Seller.
(vii) Except as set forth on Schedule 4(l)(vii), the Seller has entered into confidentiality and/or nondisclosure agreements with all Persons with access to the proprietary information or
trade secrets of the Seller relating to protect the confidentiality and value of such proprietary information and trade secrets, and, to the Seller’s Knowledge, there has not been any breach by any of the foregoing of any such agreement. The
Seller uses best efforts to maintain the
26
secrecy of all proprietary information and trade secrets of the Seller that are material to the operation of the Business and are valuable thereto by
virtue of their secrecy.
(viii) Except as set forth on Schedule 4(l)(viii), the information technology systems owned, licensed, leased, operated on behalf of, or otherwise held for use by the Seller, including all
computer hardware, software, firmware and telecommunications systems (the “Systems”) used by the Seller, (A) perform reliably in all material respects
subject to normal wear and tear and in material conformance with the appropriate specifications or documentation for such systems, (B) are sufficient for the conduct of the Business as currently conducted, including as to capacity and ability to
process current peak volumes in a timely manner and (C) are not currently in need of any material upgrades, revisions or additions. There have been no bugs in, or failures, breakdowns, or continued substandard performance of, any Systems that
has caused the substantial disruption or interruption in or to the use of such Systems by any Seller or the conduct of the Business.
(ix) Schedule 4(l)(ix) set forth a true, correct and complete list of all 510(k) clearances, 510(k) pre‑market notifications and other 510(k) and Related Regulatory Rights required for
the operation of the Business as currently conducted by the Seller, and the Seller is in compliance in all respects with all Laws relating thereto.
(x) Except as set forth on Schedule 4(l)(x), the Seller has satisfied all of its obligations to any Person, including, without limitation, payment of money or property, who has developed
or licensed the Acquired Intellectual Property and the Acquired Licensed IP.
(m) Labor Matters.
(i) No employee or independent
contractor of the Seller is bound by any restrictive covenants relating either to the Business or the Products.
(ii) No employee or independent
contractor of the Seller is owed any compensation or payment from the Seller except in the ordinary course in accordance with the Seller’s payroll practices.
(iii) To the Knowledge of the
Seller, no employee of the Seller is obligated under any Contract (including any license, covenant, or commitment of any nature), or is subject to any Order, that would materially interfere with such employee’s ability to promote the interest of
the Seller or that would conflict with the Conduct of the Business.
(i) Since the date that is
three (3) years prior to the date hereof, the Seller has not incurred any Liabilities or received written notice of any claims, in all cases for amounts in excess of $15,000.00 in the aggregate (whether or not currently outstanding), arising from
any actual or alleged (A) defect or other deficiency (whether of design, manufacture, materials, workmanship, labeling, instructions, inadequate warning, or otherwise) with respect to the Products or related goods, services, or other products
that have been designed, manufactured, packaged, shipped, sold, leased out, licensed out, marketed, distributed, or otherwise introduced into the stream of commerce by or on behalf of the Seller, whether as distributor, agent, pursuant
27
to any Contractual relationship with the manufacturer, or otherwise (each, a “Seller Product/Service”), (B) injury to Persons or property arising from the receipt, ownership, use, or possession of any Seller Product/Service, or (C) breach of, or failure to meet, any express or implied warranty
(including any warranty of merchantability or fitness), other Contractual commitment, any applicable standard, any applicable Law, or any specification of any Governmental Authority, in each case relating to the Seller Product/Service. No such
Liabilities or claims are currently outstanding, and no event has occurred or circumstance exists that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any such Liabilities, or that would serve as a reasonable basis for the commencement of any such
claims. Since the date that is three (3) years prior to the date hereof, all Seller Products/Services have been sold in conformity with all express (and to the Knowledge of the Seller, implied) warranties (including any warranty of merchantability
or fitness) and other Contractual commitments.
(ii) Since the date that is
three (3) years prior to the date hereof, the Seller Product/Service has not been subject to a recall, and the Seller is not currently planning or contemplating the recall of any Seller Product/Service, in each case whether required by any
Governmental Authority or otherwise. The Seller (and to the Knowledge of the Seller, each supplier or manufacturer from whom the Seller has purchased or otherwise obtained raw materials or finished products used in connection with Seller
Products/Services) is, and has been at all times since the date that is three (3) years prior to the date hereof, in compliance in all material respects with all Laws and requirements of industry standards organizations, in each case relating to
the manufacturing of, or otherwise applicable to, Seller Products/Services. The Seller has not, since the date that is three (3) years prior to the date hereof, received any written notice from any Governmental Authority regarding any actual or

Seller Product/Service.
(iii) Attached hereto as Schedule 4(n)(iii) are complete and correct copies of the warranty terms, if any, applicable to all Seller Products/Services for the three (3) year period prior
to the date hereof.
(iv) Since the date that is
five (5) years prior to the date hereof, the Seller has not experienced (or received written notice of any claims, whether or not outstanding, for) any returns, requests for refunds or price renegotiations, or claims of over-shipment with respect
to any Seller Products/Services, except in the Ordinary Course of Business, and, to the Knowledge of the Seller, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that would reasonably be expected to give rise to the occurrence of any such returns,
requests for refunds or price renegotiations, or claims of over-shipment.

28
(p) Federal Securities Law Matters.
(i) The Seller, and each Person
to whom the Shares may be transferred by the Seller, is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act and will be acquiring the Shares for his, her or its own account, for investment and not with a view to
distribution or sale, or for the account of any other Person.
(ii) The Seller acknowledges
that the Seller is experienced, sophisticated and knowledgeable in trading of securities of public companies and that the Seller has been given the opportunity to seek any information and ask any questions of the Buyer which the Seller deems
necessary in order to make an informed decision with respect to the purchase of the Shares. The Seller represents that the Seller has, based on such information as the Seller deemed adequate and appropriate, made the Seller's own independent
investigation and evaluation of the financial condition of the Buyer and the value of the Common Stock without any reliance on the Buyer. The Seller acknowledges and understands that the Buyer and its Affiliates possess material nonpublic
information regarding the Buyer not known to the Seller that may impact the value of the Shares (the “Information”), and that the Buyer is not disclosing the
Information to the Seller. The Seller understands, based on the Seller’s experience, the disadvantage to which the Seller is subject due to the disparity of information between the Seller and the Buyer. Notwithstanding such disparity, the
Seller has deemed it appropriate to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby. The Seller acknowledges that its financial condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in
the Shares and no need to dispose of the Shares to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness.
(q) Full Disclosure. The Seller has made available to the Buyer a complete and correct copy of each of the Contracts, plans, insurance policies, and other documents
set forth or referenced (or required to be set forth or referenced) on the Disclosure Schedules and all amendments, supplements, or other modifications thereto. Each description of any such Contract, plan, insurance policy, or other document on
the Disclosure Schedules includes all such amendments, supplements, or other modifications thereto. To the Knowledge of the Seller, there are no material facts relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations,
assets, prospects, or Liabilities of the Seller relating to the Business that have not been disclosed in this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules) or in any Ancillary Agreement. Neither this Agreement (including the Disclosure
Schedules) nor any Ancillary Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading.
(a) Further Assurances. From and after the Closing, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, take such further actions and execute
and deliver such further documents (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Party) as may be reasonably requested by any other Party to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, at the sole cost and
expense of the requesting Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to the terms hereof). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the covenants of further assurances provided under
this Section 5(a) shall require the Seller, at Buyer’s cost and expense, to take any and all action reasonably requested
29
by the Buyer after the Closing to (i) evidence and confirm the transfer and assignment of the 510(k) and Related Regulatory Rights and provide written
notice thereof to the FDA and other applicable Governmental Authorities, (ii) evidence and confirm the transfer and assignment of Intellectual Property included within the Purchased Assets and (iii) provide notice to any authorized representatives
of the Seller appointed as such to facilitate the sale and distribution of products outside of the United States, and to designate and appoint such authorized representatives as authorized representatives of the Buyer for such purpose and to
ensure the smooth and orderly transition of Business ownership from the Seller to the Buyer.
(b) Litigation Support. From and after the Closing, in the event and for so long as any Party or Affiliate thereof is contesting or defending any Action relating to
either (i) a fact, event, or condition in existence or occurring at or prior to the Closing involving any Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities, or (ii) the Contemplated Transactions (in each case within the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii),
other than any Action between the Buyer and/or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and/or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand), each other Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate with such
contesting or defending Party or Affiliate thereof and its counsel in such defense or contest, including by making available its personnel and providing such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be reasonably necessary or
advisable in connection with such contest or defense, in each case at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to the terms hereof).
(c) Assumed Liabilities. From and after the Closing, the Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall have complete control over the payment, settlement, or other
disposition of, or any dispute involving, and shall conduct and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to, all Assumed Liabilities.
(d) [Intentionally Omitted].
(e) Transfer Taxes. The Seller shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of Tax Returns (including any documentation) with respect to all transfer, documentation, sales,
use, stamp, registration, and similar Taxes, including bulk sales taxes, incurred in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. The Seller shall pay and discharge the amount of such Taxes and indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified
Parties from same.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (but without limiting the representations and warranties set forth herein and therein), to the extent that the purchase, assumption, or other conveyance by the Seller to the Buyer of any
Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability hereunder would require Consent of any Governmental Authority or under any Contract, in each case which Consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, then for so long as such Consent is not obtained or
otherwise satisfied, such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability (each, a “Non‑Assignable Item”) shall be deemed to not have been purchased, assumed, or
otherwise conveyed hereunder and shall not constitute a Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability, and instead shall constitute an Excluded Asset or an Excluded Liability, as applicable.
30
(ii) From and after the
Closing, Seller shall, at Buyer’s cost and expense, use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Buyer in obtaining or otherwise satisfying all Consents required in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, including by paying any
reasonable costs of, or consideration to, any third party in order to obtain or otherwise satisfy such Consents. For so long as any such Consent is not obtained or otherwise satisfied, the Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, use its
reasonable best efforts to provide the Buyer with substantially the same economic and operational benefits of any Non‑Assignable Item (that would, if the applicable Consent were obtained or otherwise satisfied, constitute a Purchased Asset) as
the Seller received prior to the Closing as a result of such Non‑Assignable Item (for example, by way of subleasing, sublicensing, or subcontracting the applicable Non‑Assignable Item).
(iii) If and when any Consent
with respect to a Non‑Assignable Item is obtained or otherwise satisfied, such Non‑Assignable Item shall, without the requirement of any further action, automatically be deemed to have been purchased, assumed, or otherwise conveyed hereunder, as
applicable, and shall thereupon cease to constitute a Non‑Assignable Item, Excluded Asset, or Excluded Liability, and instead shall constitute a Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability, as applicable, and the representations and warranties set forth
in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements with respect to Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities, as applicable, shall be deemed to apply to such item. The Seller shall take such further actions and execute, deliver, and file such further
documents as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer to evidence the foregoing, without the payment of additional consideration.
(i) To the extent that, at any
time following the Closing, either the Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, receives payment of an account receivable or other payment or benefit, or is in possession of any asset (including, in the case of the Buyer, any
Excluded Asset, and in the case of the Seller, any Purchased Asset), in each case that in accordance with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is owned by or owed to the other (each, a “Misdirected Item”), then the Person receiving such Misdirected Item shall promptly upon becoming aware of such fact provide written notice to the Person entitled to such Misdirected Item and cooperate to
deliver such Misdirected Item to such entitled Person, without the payment of additional consideration. The Person initially receiving such Misdirected Item shall take such further actions and execute, deliver, and file such further documents as
may be reasonably requested by the entitled Person in connection with the foregoing, including the endorsement of any applicable checks.
(ii) To the extent that, at any
time following the Closing, any Party receives any mail, email, or other written communication that, in the case of the Buyer on the one hand, relates primarily to Excluded Assets and/or Excluded Liabilities, and in the case of the Seller on the
other hand, relates primarily to Purchased Assets and/or Assumed Liabilities, then promptly upon becoming aware of such fact, such Party shall promptly forward such communication to the other.
(i) The Seller and each
Principal in exchange for the good and valuable consideration they are receiving from the Contemplated Transactions, the receipt and sufficiency
31
of which is hereby acknowledged, intending to be legal bound and acknowledging the Buyer would not enter into this Agreement or the Contemplated
Transactions without this Section 6(h), hereby covenant and agree that, during the period commencing at the Closing and continuing until the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), the Seller and each Principal shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) do any of the
following, or serve as a partner, joint venturer, director, manager, trustee, officer, employee, independent contractor, agent, lender, investor or equityholder (excluding de minimis holdings in publicly traded companies) of any Person that does any of the following, in each case whether directly or indirectly:
(A) participate or engage in, or
provide any financial or other assistance to any Person participating or engaging in a Competitive Business anywhere in the world (it being understood, recognized and acknowledged by the Seller that the Business being purchased hereunder is
conducted on a global worldwide basis) (the “Restricted Territory”), provided that this clause (A) shall not apply to any Principal serving in any capacity
of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates;
(B) solicit, contact, or conduct a
Competitive Business with (or attempt to conduct a Competitive Business with) any Person who is then, or was within the twelve (12) months prior thereto, a Customer of the Buyer or the Business being purchased hereunder;
(C) induce or entice (or attempt to
induce or entice) any distributor, supplier, vendor, or any other Person having a business relationship with the Buyer or the Business being purchased hereunder to terminate or adversely modify its relationship with the Buyer or such Business;
(D) solicit, contact, hire, engage, or
enter into any other business relationship with (or attempt to do any of the foregoing) any Person who is then, or was within the twelve (12) months prior thereto, a director, manager, officer, employee, independent contractor, or agent of the
Buyer or the Business being purchased hereunder, or induce or entice (or attempt to induce or entice) any such Person to terminate or adversely modify its relationship with the Buyer or such Business, provided that nothing in this clause (D) shall
prohibit the publishing of general advertisements not specifically targeted to any directors, managers, officers, employees, independent contractors, or agents of the Buyer or such Business; or
(E) make or endorse any disparaging,
derogatory, or otherwise negative written or oral communication regarding the Business, any of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities, or the Buyer or its Affiliates or Representatives.
(ii) The Restricted Period with
respect to Seller and each Principal shall be tolled during (and shall be deemed to be automatically extended by) any period during which Seller is in violation of any provision set forth in clause (i) above.
(iii) Seller and each Principal
hereby agree that the Business would suffer irreparable damage, and money damages would be inadequate, if any provision of clause (i) above were not performed in accordance with its terms and that the Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief
and specific performance of the terms of clause (i) above, in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity. Seller and each Principal irrevocably waives any
32
requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Seller and each Principal further agree that the only permitted
objection that it may raise in response to any Action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of clause (i) above.
(iv) Seller and each Principal
hereby agree that all restrictions set forth in clause (i) above, including those relating to the duration of the Restricted Period and the scope of the Restricted Territory, are necessary and fundamental to the protection of the Buyer and its
operation of the Business purchased hereunder, are reasonable and valid, and constitute a material inducement for the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. To the extent
that any court of competent jurisdiction holds that the duration, scope, or area restrictions set forth in clause (i) above are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope, or area reasonable
under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope, or area and that such court shall be permitted, and this Agreement shall automatically be revised, to modify the restrictions set forth in clause (i) above to cover the
maximum period, scope and area permitted by law or equity.
(i) Restrictions on Transfer. The Seller understands and agrees that the Shares will
bear a legend substantially similar to the legend set forth below in addition to any other legend that may be required by applicable law or by any agreement between the Buyer and the Seller. Upon receipt of certifications from the Seller
reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer’s counsel, the Buyer shall cause the legend to be removed in accordance with, and pursuant to, Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other applicable federal and state securities Laws.

claims for the breach thereof may be brought) until the eighteen (18)-month anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that:
(i) the Fundamental
Representations shall survive the Closing (and any claims for the breach thereof may be brought) for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date;
(ii) [Intentionally Omitted];
and
35
(iii) any claims based upon
fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or bad faith may be brought anytime indefinitely.
The last date on which a claim for the breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary
Certificate may be brought in accordance with the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Expiration Date” of such representation or warranty. Any such claim
must be asserted by a written notice that provides in reasonable detail the facts, occurrences or omissions giving rise to such breach on or before the applicable Expiration Date, provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7(a), if such a written notice is given
with respect to any claim, such claim shall survive until fully resolved as provided herein.
(i) The Seller shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnified Party from and against any Losses such Buyer Indemnified Party shall suffer resulting from (A) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement or in any Ancillary
Certificate, (B) the breach of any covenant or agreement with respect to obligations to be performed by the Seller set forth in this Agreement, (C) any Excluded Liabilities, (D) any Taxes in respect of the Business being purchased hereunder or

Consents are identified and disclosed on Schedule 4(c)(i)(C).
(c) Buyer Indemnities. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7, from
and after the Closing, the Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller Indemnified Party from and against any Losses such Seller Indemnified Party shall suffer resulting from (A) the breach of any representation or warranty made
by the Buyer in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Certificate, (B) the breach of any covenant or agreement with respect to obligations to be performed by the Buyer set forth in this Agreement, and (C) the operation of the Business after the
Closing Date, (D) any Taxes in respect of the Business being purchased hereunder or the Purchased Assets with respect to any period after the Closing and (E) any Assumed Liabilities.
(i) Direct Claims. If an Indemnified Party incurs Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 7, other than as a result of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party Representative may deliver written notice of its claim for such indemnification to the Indemnifying Party Representative
describing its claim for indemnification with reasonable specificity and setting forth, to the extent known, an estimated amount of Losses. If, within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the notice described above, the Indemnifying Party
Representative delivers written notice to the Indemnified Party Representative disputing the amount (or any portion thereof) of Losses claimed by such Indemnified Party or that such Indemnified Party is entitled to such indemnification and the
Indemnifying Party Representative
36
and the Indemnified Party Representative are not able to resolve such matter within such thirty (30)-day period, then the Indemnified Party
Representative shall be entitled to submit such indemnification claim to any court or authority of competent jurisdiction described in Section 9(h), which
claim shall be adjudicated in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Section 7. With respect to any amount (or portion thereof) of Losses
claimed by such Indemnified Party that has not been disputed by the Indemnifying Party Representative within such thirty (30)-day period in accordance with the foregoing, such amount (or portion thereof) shall for all purposes under this Agreement
conclusively be deemed to be indemnifiable Losses and the applicable Indemnifying Party(ies) shall be liable therefor (it being understood and agreed that, in accordance with the above, such amount (or portion thereof) may not constitute all
indemnifiable Losses that may arise from the applicable matter in question).
(ii) Third Party Claims.
(A) If any
Person which is not an Indemnified Party shall assert a claim against an Indemnified Party which claim gives rise to a claim for indemnification against an Indemnifying Party under this Section 7
(a “Third Party Claim”), then such Indemnified Party shall, within thirty (30) days after such non‑Indemnified Party asserts such claim, deliver written notice of such Third
Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party Representative (a “Third Party Claim Notice”) (provided that the
failure or delay to so notify such Indemnifying Party Representative shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure or
delay). Thereafter, each Indemnified Party shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Indemnifying Party Representative, within five (5) Business Days after such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents
(including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.
(B) The Indemnifying Party Representative shall
have the right (but not the obligation), to be exercised within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice by delivering written notice to the Indemnified Party Representative, to assume and thereafter conduct
and control the defense of such Third Party Claim (with counsel of such Indemnifying Party Representative’s choice that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party Representative), but only if and for so long as (1) such Indemnifying
Party Representative acknowledges in a signed writing (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed to be binding on behalf of all Indemnifying Parties and irrevocable) that the Indemnifying Party(ies) shall be deemed to be liable for all
Losses with respect to such Third Party Claim, (2) such Third Party Claim does not seek monetary damages in an amount in excess of the remaining amount for which the Indemnifying Party(ies) could be liable by virtue of the limitations set forth
in Section 7(f)(i)(B), Section 7(g)(B), or any other caps on indemnifiable amounts expressly set
forth herein, (3) such Indemnifying Party Representative is conducting and controlling such defense diligently and in good faith, (4) if both an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party are named (by impleader or otherwise) in such Third
Party Claim, then there are no material legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party the assertion of which would be adverse to the interests of an Indemnifying Party, (5) such Third Party Claim has not been brought by a Material Customer
or Material Supplier, (6) such Third Party Claim does not allege fraud or criminal activity, (7) such Third Party Claim does not seek equitable remedies, and (8) such Third Party Claim, if adversely determined, would not
37
reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect as to an Indemnified Party and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. If
such Indemnifying Party Representative assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, then, regardless of the outcome of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party(ies) shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party
Representative in connection with such defense. For so long as such Indemnifying Party Representative is conducting and controlling such defense, (I) each Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in such
defense with separate counsel of its choosing at its sole cost and expense (or at the Indemnifying Parties’ sole cost and expense if there are any conflicts of interests with respect to such defense as between any Indemnified Party and any
Indemnifying Party), and (II) each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party Representative in such defense and make available to such Indemnifying Party Representative and its Representatives, at the Indemnifying Party’s(ies’)
sole cost and expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in or under such Indemnified Party’s possession or control relating thereto as may be reasonably requested by such Indemnifying Party Representative. The
Indemnifying Party Representative shall not be permitted to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party Representative, provided
that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld unless such judgment or settlement (w) involves the admission of fraudulent or criminal wrongdoing on the part of any Indemnified Party, (x) imposes equitable relief upon any Indemnified Party,
(y) imposes any monetary damages on any Indemnified Party except to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties are required under this Section 7 (after giving
effect to all applicable limitations set forth herein), and have the funds available, to pay such damages in their entirety, or (z) does not contain a complete and unconditional release of each applicable Indemnified Party from all liability with
respect to such Third Party Claim.
(C) Unless
and until the Indemnifying Party Representative assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in Section 7(d)(ii)(B), each applicable Indemnified
Party may defend against such Third Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate (with counsel of such Indemnified Party’s choice), in which case each Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with such Indemnified Party in such defense
and make available to such Indemnified Party and its Representatives all witnesses, pertinent records, materials, and information in or under such Indemnifying Party’s possession or control relating thereto as may be reasonably requested by such
Indemnified Party. The conduct of such defense by such Indemnified Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of such Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim. No Indemnified Party shall be permitted to
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).
(i) For purposes of this Section 7, in determining the amount of Losses arising in connection with or resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set
forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Certificate, each reference to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect, or similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to any such representation or warranty shall be disregarded.
38
(ii) [Intentionally Omitted.]
(iii) Seller, on behalf of
itself and its Affiliates, hereby waives any right of contribution or similar right that might otherwise have been available to it against any Buyer Indemnified Party or its insurers with respect to any indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 7(b).
(f) Limitations on Seller Indemnities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified
Party from or against
(i) any Losses arising under Section 7(b)(i)(A) (other than Losses arising from fraud or a breach of a Fundamental Representation): (A) until the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have
suffered such Losses in an aggregate amount equal to $20,000.00 (the “Basket Amount”), after which point the Seller shall be obligated to indemnify each
Buyer Indemnified Party from and against the aggregate amount of all such Losses, including the Basket Amount; and/or (B) to the extent that the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have suffered (and received indemnity payments for) such Losses in an
aggregate amount in excess of $200,000.00 plus any amounts paid to Seller in respect of either (i) the Earnout Amount actually received by the Seller; or (ii) the Additional Earnout the Earnout Amount actually received by the Seller
(collectively, the “Cap Amount”).
(ii) any Losses arising under Section 7(b)(i)(A) arising from a breach of a Fundamental Representation to the extent that the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have suffered (and received
indemnity payments for) such Losses in an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price; or
(g) Limitations on Buyer Indemnities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Buyer shall not be obligated to indemnify any Seller
Indemnified Party from or against any Losses arising under Section 7(c)(A) (other than Losses arising from or a breach of a Fundamental Representation):
(A) until the Seller Indemnified Parties shall have suffered such Losses in an aggregate amount equal to the Basket Amount, after which point the Buyer shall be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties solely from and against the
aggregate amount of such Losses in excess of the Basket Amount; and/or (B) to the extent that the Seller Indemnified Parties shall have suffered (and received indemnity payments for) such Losses in an aggregate amount in excess of the Cap Amount.
(i) The Parties shall cooperate
and use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent required under applicable Law, provided that, notwithstanding the requirements under applicable Law, no Party shall be required to take any action that would be detrimental to it in any material respect, violate any Contract or applicable
Law, seek recovery from its Customers, suppliers, vendors, or other material business relations, or file any lawsuit to obtain recovery from any Person or under any insurance policy. All expenses incurred by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party
in connection with its efforts to mitigate Losses shall be deemed Losses.
39
(ii) In calculating the amount
of Losses of any Indemnified Party, there shall be a deduction for the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by such Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates amounting to a mitigation of such Losses (net of any related deductibles
and actual and/or reasonably projected increases in premiums) (“Mitigating Payments”). Without duplication of the foregoing, in the event that any
Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates actually receives any Mitigating Payments in respect of any Losses subsequent to the receipt by such Indemnified Party of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of such Losses, such Indemnified
Party shall promptly make appropriate refunds to the appropriate Indemnifying Party in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of such subsequent Mitigating Payments, and (B) the amount of such indemnification payments received
hereunder in respect of such Losses.
(i) Effect of Knowledge. The rights of each Person to be indemnified and held harmless, and to exercise any other rights or remedies available to it, under the
applicable provisions of this Agreement and any Ancillary Certificate shall not be affected or deemed waived by (A) any investigation made by such Person or its Representatives, or (B) the fact that such Person or its Representatives knew of or
reasonably should have known of or reasonably could have foreseen, prior to the Closing, the matter or the breach of the representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement that gave rise to such right to indemnification, to be held harmless, or to
exercise such other rights or remedies.
(j) Exclusive Remedy. Except (i) for any equitable remedies of the Parties expressly provided herein (including pursuant to Section 5(f) and Section 9(m)), (ii) as expressly provided in Section 2(f)(ii), Section 2(i), and Section 5(e)(vii), and (iii) with respect to claims based on fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or bad faith, the provisions in Section 5(e) and this Section 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of all Persons following the Closing with
respect to claims and other matters arising under this Agreement and any Ancillary Certificate.
(i) All obligations owed to any
Party pursuant to Section 5(e) or Section 7(b)(i)(A) shall be
satisfied within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the claim giving rise to such obligation, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Buyer. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Buyer may elect from time to time following the Closing, to be exercised by written notice delivered to the Seller, to offset all or any portion of any undisputed payment(s) then owing under this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement by Seller to the Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party against an equivalent amount of: (i) any Earnout Amount then owing; or (ii) any other payment then owing under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement by the Buyer to
Seller.
(ii) All obligations owed to
any Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7(c) shall be satisfied, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the claim
giving rise to such obligation, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Seller.
(l) Tax Treatment. The Parties agree to treat any payment made pursuant to this Section 7
as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes hereunder and all Tax purposes.
40
8. Authority of the Seller. [Xxxxxx Xxxxxx] (“Seller’s Representative”) shall have the authority to act as the
agent for, and to bind and/or execute any documents as attorney-in-fact for, Seller in connection with this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement. Such authority shall include the sole and exclusive authority to (A) assert, pursue, defend
against, contest, and settle claims for indemnification hereunder, (B) exercise any other rights and remedies that may be available to Seller hereunder, (C) defend against, contest, and settle the assertion of any other rights or remedies by the

preceding sentence and not otherwise expressly required or permitted to be taken solely by [Xxxxxx Xxxxxx].

All of the powers, authorities, rights, and immunities granted to [Xxxxxx Xxxxxx] under this Article VIII above shall survive the Closing. The grant of authority provided to [Xxxxxx Xxxxxx] under this Article VIII is coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable, and shall survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of Seller.
(a) Press Releases and Public Announcements. The Parties shall issue a joint press release promptly following the Closing, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Buyer and the Seller. Other than the foregoing, no Party shall, or shall permit its Affiliates or Representatives to, issue any press release or make any public filing, announcement, or disclosure (whether written, oral, or
electronic) relating to the Contemplated Transactions without the prior written approval of the Buyer and the Seller, except (i) as required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any United States or foreign securities exchange, in
which case the Party required to make such release, filing, announcement, or disclosure shall provide the Buyer and the Seller with reasonably advance written notice of, and an opportunity to review, discuss, and comment on, such proposed
release, filing, announcement, or disclosure and (ii) for communications disseminated by the Buyer to investors, prospective investors, and to the public generally announcing the closing of the Contemplated Transactions, with a brief description
thereof but not indicating the consideration paid for the Business, all in accordance with the ordinary course of business of the Buyer in connection with the announcing of its completed investments of the type described herein.
(b) Third-Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement shall confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and
their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided that the Indemnified Parties shall constitute third-party beneficiaries solely for the purposes
of Section 5(e) and Section 7 and any Person lending money to or
extending credit to the Buyer shall constitute a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement.
(c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the Parties and supersede any prior understandings,
agreements, representations, warranties, letters of intent, or term sheets by or among the Parties (as well as any Affiliate or Representative acting on behalf of any Party), written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject
matter hereof or thereof.
41
(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. No Party may assign (by operation of law, merger (whether as surviving or disappearing entity), consolidation, dissolution, or otherwise) this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, or any of such Party’s rights, interests, or obligations
hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the Buyer and the Seller, and any such assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing, without obtaining any such
consent, the Buyer or any of its successors or assigns shall be permitted to assign this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreements, and any of their rights and interests hereunder and thereunder to (i) any Affiliate of such Person, (ii) any acquirer of
such Person (whether by sale of equity interests, by sale of all or substantially all assets, or by merger, consolidation, or otherwise), and/or (iii) any debt financing sources of the Buyer or any of its successors or assigns (which, in the case
of this clause (iii), shall be a collateral assignment until the exercise of remedies by such debt financing sources), provided that in each case within the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), no such assignment shall relieve such Person of any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
(e) Counterparts. This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by means of facsimile, .pdf, or other
electronic transmission), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

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.
(h) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF THE STATE OF
DELAWARE, COUNTY OF NEW CASTLE, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, OR THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION MAY BE HEARD AND
DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY AGREES TO COMMENCE ANY SUCH ACTION IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, COUNTY OF NEW CASTLE. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF IMPROPER VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE
OF ANY ACTION SO BROUGHT. ANY PARTY MAY MAKE SERVICE ON ANY OTHER PARTY BY SENDING OR DELIVERING A COPY OF THE PROCESS TO THE PARTY TO BE SERVED AT THE ADDRESS AND IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR THE DELIVERY OF NOTICES IN SECTION 9(f), PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 9(h)
43
SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AT EQUITY. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A
JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, OR THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE 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 WAIVERS, (B) UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EACH
OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH ANCILLARY AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN.
(i) Amendments. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid or effective unless in a writing executed by the Buyer and the Seller, and any such
written executed amendment shall be binding and effective on all Parties. No consent under any provision of this Agreement or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any default under or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant,
or agreement set forth herein, whether or not intentional, shall be valid or effective unless in a writing executed by the Buyer (if the Party seeking to enforce such consent or waiver is Seller) or the Seller (if the Party seeking to enforce
such consent or waiver is the Buyer), nor shall any such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior, subsequent, or similar default or breach or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any such prior, subsequent, or similar default or
breach. No failure by any Party to take any action with respect to any such default or breach shall constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to take any such action or to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
(j) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable shall be deemed to be limited or
modified in its application to the minimum extent necessary to avoid such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any such term or provision in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not
affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement or the validity, legality, or enforceability of such term or provision in any other situation or in any other
jurisdiction.

made a part hereof.
(m) Specific Performance; Remedies Cumulative. Each Party agrees that the Seller’s Business is unique and irreparable damages would occur, and money damages would
be inadequate, if any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof and that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement,
the Parties shall be entitled to injunctive relief and
44
specific performance of the terms hereof and thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party
irrevocably waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond, or for the proving of any actual or special damages, in connection with any injunctive relief or specific performance described within this Section 9(m). Each Party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any Action for any injunctive relief or specific performance described within
this Section 9(m) is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement. Except as otherwise
provided herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, the remedies provided herein and therein shall be cumulative and shall not preclude the assertion by any Party of any other rights or the seeking of any other remedies against any other Party.
