Section 2.5 Withholding.

The Purchaser or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement (including payments of the Purchase Price and Purchase Price Adjustment Amount) such amounts as the Purchaser (or any Affiliate thereof) shall determine in good faith they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of an applicable Law.

TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1 Tax Returns.

(a) The Purchaser shall prepare (or cause the Company to prepare) each Tax Return for the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that is due after the Closing Date (each a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”). To the extent that a Pre-Closing Tax Return relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, such Tax Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with existing procedures and practices and accounting methods unless otherwise required by Law. Each Pre-Closing Tax Return prepared by the Purchaser shall be submitted to the Seller for the Seller’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days in the case of any income Tax Returns, and within a reasonable time period in the case of other Tax Returns prior to the due date of the Tax Return. No failure or delay of the Purchaser in providing a Pre-Closing Tax Return for the Seller to review shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.1, the Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall be solely responsible for filing all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Seller and paying all of the Taxes due and owing by the Seller (including to the extent attributable to income of the Company that flows up to the Seller).

Section 7.2 Tax Cooperation.

The Seller (on the one hand) and the Purchaser (on the other hand) shall (i) assist Company in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return (including any claim for a Tax refund), (ii) assist with any audit or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Return(s), (iii) make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns, (iv) provide any information necessary or reasonably requested to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Laws or to compute the amount of payroll or other employment Taxes due with respect to any payment made in connection with this Agreement and (v) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Returns, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax.

Section 7.3 Transfer Taxes.

All excise, ad valorem, value added, registration, stamp, recording, documentary, conveyance, franchise, property, transfer, gains and similar Taxes, levies, charges and fees incurred in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), shall be borne equally by the Purchaser on the one hand, and the Seller on the other hand. Each Tax Return required to be filed with respect to any Transfer Tax shall be timely filed by the party customarily responsible for filing under local law with the reasonable cooperation of the other party as necessary.

Section 7.4 Apportionment of Taxes.

For purposes of determining whether the following Taxes are attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date), the parties agree as follows:

(a) In the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis for a Straddle Period, the amounts that are attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

(b) In the case of Taxes in the form of interest or penalties, all such Taxes shall be treated as attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) to the extent relating to a Tax for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) whether such items are incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on, before or after the Closing Date.

(c) In the case of Taxes imposed as a result of income of any Flow-Thru Entity realized prior to the Closing Date (such income being computed assuming the Flow-Thru Entity had a year that ends on the Closing Date and closed its books), such Taxes shall be treated as Taxes of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(d) In the case of Taxes imposed with respect to the payment of any Transaction Expenses (including any employment Taxes), such Taxes shall be treated as Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date).

(e) In the case of all other Taxes for a Straddle Period (including income Taxes, employment Taxes not covered by (d), and sales and use Taxes) the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Company filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.” For purposes of this clause (e), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the mechanics set forth in clause (a) for periodic Taxes.

Section 7.5 Tax Contests.

(a) If any Governmental Entity issues to the Company (i) a written notice of its intent to audit or conduct another legal Proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (ii) a written notice of deficiency for Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Tax Claim”), the Purchaser shall notify the Seller of its receipt of such communication from the Governmental Entity within thirty (30) days of receipt. No failure or delay of the Purchaser in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) The Purchaser shall control any audit or other legal Proceeding in respect of any Tax Return or Taxes of the Company (a “Tax Contest”); provided, however, that (A) the Seller, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest to the extent it relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period; (B) the Purchaser shall not allow the Company to settle or otherwise resolve any Tax Contest if such settlement or other resolution relates to Indemnified Taxes without the permission of the Seller (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall control any Tax Contest relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Return, provided (A) the Seller shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest; (B) the Seller shall conduct the Tax Contest diligently and in good faith; (C) the Purchaser shall have the right, at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to participate in such Tax Contest; (D) the Seller shall not settle, resolve, or abandon the Tax Contest (or any portion thereof) without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned); and (E) the Seller shall bear all costs and expenses of the Seller and the Company in controlling such Tax Contest.

Section 7.6 Section 280G.

Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain from each “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) a waiver of any payments or benefits that might otherwise reasonably result in the payment or provision of “parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) or that might be subject to

an excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code, such that after giving effect to all waivers, the Seller, the Company, and the Purchaser have not made or provided, nor are required to make or provide, any payments or benefits that would not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code or that would be subject to an excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the payments and benefits waived (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be, with respect to any individual, the amounts in excess of 299% of such individual’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code)) shall be collectively referred to as the “Section 280G Waived Payments”). At least five days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller and the Company shall submit, accompanied by adequate disclosure, for shareholder approval all Section 280G Waived Payments in accordance with the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder with the purpose of determining the right of each “disqualified individual” to receive the Section 280G Waived Payments by rendering the parachute payment provisions of Section 280G of the Code inapplicable to any and all payments and benefits provided by the Seller or the Company to those individuals who have executed a waiver pursuant to this Section 7.6 that, in the absence of such waiver, might otherwise reasonably result in the provision of any payments or benefits that would be a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code. The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser, no later than five (5) days prior to obtaining the waivers, (i) drafts of any waivers, disclosure documents, shareholder consent forms and other relevant documents relating to the waiver and vote prepared by the Seller or the Company in connection with this Section 7.6 and (ii) reasonable documentation regarding the determination of the Section 280G Waived Payments. Seller and the Company, as applicable, shall incorporate any comments made by the Purchaser prior to obtaining the waivers and soliciting the vote.

The date upon which any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein shall terminate, if any, is referred to herein as the “Survival Date.” In the event that a Claim Notice is delivered in good faith prior to the applicable Survival Date, the underlying claim shall survive indefinitely until mutually agreed upon by the parties or finally determined pursuant to a nonappealable judgment.

(b) Subject to the Purchaser’s setoff rights in Section 2.4(a), within five Business Days following December 31, 2022 (the “Release Date”), the Purchaser shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Seller the remaining amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount; provided that, if there are any claims for indemnification pending under Section 9.1(a) (each such claim, a “Purchaser Indemnity Claim”), then the aggregate amount, up to the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount then remaining, that the Purchaser reasonably estimates in good faith would be sufficient to satisfy each Purchaser Indemnity Claim (the “Claim Reserve Amount”) shall, to the extent the Seller receives from the Purchaser an indemnification claim in accordance with Section 9.3 at or prior to

11:59 p.m. New York City time on December 31, reduce any payment of the remaining amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount (but not below $0), and no portion of the Claim Reserve Amount shall be paid to the Seller until the resolution of such Purchaser Indemnity Claims in accordance with Section 9.3 (an “Purchaser Indemnity Claim Resolution”). Following the Release Date, upon a Purchaser Indemnity Claim Resolution being made with respect to a Purchaser Indemnity Claim pursuant to which the Individual Claim Amount is determined, then within five Business Days after the date of any Purchaser Indemnity Claim Resolution, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the remaining Claim Reserve Amount held in reserve in respect of such Purchaser Indemnity Claim, if any. For purposes of this Agreement “Individual Claim Amount” shall mean, with respect to a Purchaser Indemnity Claim, the amount required to satisfy such Purchaser Indemnity Claim pursuant to a Purchaser Indemnity Claim Resolution.

Section 9.6 Effect of Investigation.

Each party hereto shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be deemed to have relied upon, all representations, warranties and covenants of each other party set forth in this Agreement which have been or are made in favor of such party. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Seller, and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ right to indemnification with respect hereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (including by any of their Representatives) or by reason of the fact that any Purchaser Indemnified Party knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was, or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ waiver of any condition set forth in Article VIII.

Section 9.7 Exclusive Remedy.

From and after the Closing, the rights of the parties hereto and any other Indemnified Persons to indemnification or remedies relating to breaches of this Agreement shall be strictly limited to those contained in this Article IX and Section 2.4, and such indemnification rights shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto and the Indemnified Parties subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to breaches of this Agreement, excluding fraud and excluding any injunctive relief provided for herein. To the maximum extent permitted by Law and except as otherwise provided herein, the parties hereto and the Indemnified Parties hereby waive all other rights and remedies with respect to any matter arising after Closing in any way relating to breaches of this Agreement, whether under common law, in equity or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 9.7 shall not apply to the extent equitable relief or specific performance is sought by a party.

Section 9.8 Purchase Price Adjustment.

The parties hereto agree that any indemnity payment made under this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by Law, be treated by the parties hereto as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION

Section 10.1 Termination.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Seller and the Purchaser;

(b) by either the Seller or the Purchaser, by giving written notice to the other party, if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity shall have issued, adopted or enacted a non-appealable final Order or Law having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) by the Seller or the Purchaser, by giving written notice to the non-terminating party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the date that is six months after the date hereof (unless the failure of the Closing to have occurred results primarily from a breach by the terminating party of any representation, warranty, or covenant of the Purchaser, in the event the Purchaser is the terminating party, or of the Company, or the Seller, in the event the Seller is the terminating party);

(d) by the Purchaser if the Company, the Trustees or the Seller shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 would not be satisfied and such breach or failure to perform is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within ten (10) days following receipt by the Company, the Trustees or the Seller, as the case may be, of written notice of such breach from the Purchaser; or

(e) by the Seller if the Purchaser shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.5 would not be satisfied and such breach or failure to perform is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within ten (10) days following receipt by the Purchaser of written notice of such breach from the Seller.

Section 10.2 Procedure Upon Termination; Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of termination and abandonment by any party pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Agreement, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party or parties hereto, and this Agreement shall terminate, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall be abandoned, without further action by any party hereto.

(b) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except for this Section 10.2, Section 6.1, Section 6.3, and Article XI hereof, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Liability of the Seller, the Seller and the Company or any breach by such party of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Seller, the Seller and the Company set forth in this Agreement occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and, in addition, in the event of any termination of this Agreement and a related action for breach of contract, the Purchaser (if prevailing) shall be reimbursed by the other party to the action for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses relating to such action.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 11.1 Remedies.

The parties each acknowledge that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that, in the event that any party violates or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.7, fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by it in this Agreement, the non-breaching party may be without an adequate remedy at Law. The parties agree, therefore, that each party hereto shall have and retain all rights and remedies existing in their favor under this Agreement, at Law or equity, including rights to bring actions for specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief (including the remedy of rescission) to enforce or prevent a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. All such rights and remedies shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.7, be cumulative and the existence, assertion, pursuit or exercise of any thereof by a party shall not preclude such party from exercising or pursuing any other rights or remedies available to it.

Section 11.2 Notices.

All notices, communications and deliveries under this Agreement will be made in writing signed by or on behalf of the party making the same, will specify the Section under this Agreement pursuant to which it is given or being made, and will be delivered personally or by electronic transmission or sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or by next day courier (with evidence of delivery and postage and other fees prepaid) as follows:

This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its choice of law rules.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that any and all Proceedings seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought only to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court for San Mateo County, California or if such court does not have jurisdiction, any other state or federal courts located in the State of California and each of the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such Proceeding. The parties hereto irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The parties agree that, after a legal dispute is before a court as specified in this Section 11.8, and during the pendency of such dispute before such court, all actions, suits, or Proceedings with respect to such dispute or any other dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. Each of the parties consents to the service of any complaint, summons, notice or other process relating to any such Proceeding by delivery thereof to such party by hand or by certified mail, delivered or addressed as set forth in Section 11.2 hereof.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or will be construed, to confer upon or give any Person other than the parties, and their successors or permitted assigns, any rights, remedies or Liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, or result in such Person being deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Section 11.13 Amendment/Waiver.

A waiver by a party of the performance of any covenant, agreement, obligation, condition, representation or warranty will not be construed as a waiver of any other covenant, agreement, obligation, condition, representation or warranty. A waiver by a party of a condition to Closing will not be considered as a waiver of any rights to indemnification that may be claimed by such party with respect to the matters relating to such waived condition. A waiver by any party of the performance of any act will not constitute a waiver of the performance of any other act or an identical act required to be performed at a later time.

Section 11.16 Interpretation; Construction.

(a) The term “Agreement” means this agreement together with all Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, words importing the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa. The use in this Agreement of the term “including” means “including, without limitation.” The use in this Agreement of the term “ordinary course of business” means “ordinary course of business consistent with past practices” without giving effect to COVID-19 or COVID-19 Measures.

All references to articles, sections, subsections, clauses, paragraphs, schedules and exhibits mean such provisions of this Agreement and the Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits attached to this Agreement, except where otherwise stated.

(b) The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. Any fact or item disclosed on any Schedule to this Agreement shall be deemed disclosed on all other Schedules to this Agreement to which such fact or item may reasonably apply so long as such disclosure is in sufficient detail to enable a party hereto to identify the facts or items to which it applies. Any fact or item disclosed on any Schedule hereto shall not by reason only of such inclusion be deemed to be material and shall not be employed as a point of reference in determining any standard of materiality under this Agreement.

(c) Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such party has had the opportunity to consult with such party’s own counsel with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and has read and understands all of the provisions of this Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement), and (ii) such party has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to seek additional information from, the other parties with respect to each of the matters set forth in this Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement).
