This EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of September 27, 2021, by and between ENDEAVOR OPERATING COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), and, solely with respect to Section 1.03(c), Section 4.02, Section 5.21, Section 9.18 and Article IX (solely as such Article relates to Section 1.03(c), Section 4.02, Section 5.21 and Section 9.18), ENDEAVOR GROUP HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer Pubco”).

WHEREAS, Parent, directly or indirectly through its Subsidiaries, is engaged in the business of providing products to sports betting operators for the purposes of sport wagering, including but not limited to sports betting engines, sports gaming content, pricing and trading solutions and similar products (the “Business”);

WHEREAS, Parent, directly or indirectly, is (or, upon the applicable Seller’s formation, will be) the sole record and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in each of the other Sellers;

WHEREAS, following the Internal Reorganization, the Sellers will be the sole record and beneficial owners of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in each of the Transferred Companies (collectively, the “Transferred Equity Interests”);

WHEREAS, following the Internal Reorganization, the Transferred Companies, directly or indirectly, together with the Business Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Business Companies”), will hold and operate the Business;

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase, or cause certain of its Affiliates to purchase, from the Sellers, and the Sellers desire to sell to Buyer (or certain of its Affiliates, as applicable), the Transferred Equity Interests and thereby the Business, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Acquisition”); and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent and OpenBet Limited are entering into a software license agreement (the “Fusion License Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF TRANSFERRED EQUITY INTERESTS

SECTION 1.01 Purchase and Sale of Transferred Equity Interests. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause the other Sellers to, sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Parent and the other Sellers, the Transferred Equity Interests, free and clear of all Liens, other than transfer restrictions under applicable Securities Laws, in exchange for an aggregate consideration for all Transferred Equity Interests equal to (i) the Cash Consideration, plus (ii) the Stock Consideration, payable as set forth below in Section 1.03 and, in the case of the Cash Consideration, subject to adjustment as set forth below in Section 1.04.

(b) The Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration shall be allocated among the equity interests of NYX, Xxx Xxxx and the Non-US Transferred Companies in accordance with the allocation schedule attached hereto as Section 1.01(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (the “Signing Consideration Allocation”), which specifies the portion of the Cash Consideration, if any, to be paid to each applicable Seller and the portion of the Stock Consideration, if any, to be paid to each applicable Seller; provided, that, without Buyer’s prior written consent, the aggregate enterprise value allocated to DBS Canada, OpenBet North American Corporation, OpenBet Hellas S.A., and OpenBet New Zealand Limited shall not be an amount in excess of $50 million; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit Parent’s right to dispute an allocation by Buyer of an amount in excess of $50 million to the aggregate enterprise value of DBS Canada, OpenBet North America Corporation, OpenBet Hellas S.A. and OpenBet New Zealand Limited. Within sixty (60) days following the date hereof, Parent shall deliver to Buyer a schedule allocating the portion of the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration, if any, that was allocated to the Non-US Transferred Companies in the Signing Consideration Allocation among the equity interests of DBS Canada and OB Tech Newco Target (the “Post-Signing Consideration Allocation”, and together with the Signing Consideration Allocation, the “Consideration Allocation Schedule”), which shall specify the portion of the Cash Consideration, if any, to be paid to each applicable Seller and the portion of the Stock Consideration, if any, to be paid to each applicable Seller. Buyer and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve any disputes in relation to the Post-Signing Consideration Allocation in the thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt thereof. If Parent and Buyer are not able to resolve any disputes referred to in this Section 1.01(b), the matters in dispute shall be referred to the Independent Expert for prompt resolution in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.14(j), applied mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt, the resolution of any such objections in respect of the Post-Signing Consideration Allocation shall not form the basis of any claim by any party hereto that any condition to such party’s obligation to consummate the Acquisition has not been satisfied. Corresponding adjustments shall be made to the applicable Consideration Allocation Schedule to reflect the payment of any amount pursuant to Section 1.05(a) or Section 1.05(b).

SECTION 1.02 Closing. The consummation of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signature pages at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second (2nd) Business Day following the date of satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by Law, waiver by the parties entitled to the benefit thereof) of all of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions which by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing between Buyer and Parent. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

SECTION 1.03 Transactions to be Effected At the Closing.

(a) At the Closing, Buyer shall take all actions to:

(i) pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent (or, at Parent’s election and as a matter of convenience on behalf of Parent, to any such Person as may be designated in writing by Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Praent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, an amount equal to the Cash Consideration that is not compensatory;

(ii) pay (or cause to be paid) to the parties to whom Business Expenses are payable pursuant to the invoices delivered pursuant to Section 5.13(b), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account or accounts as designated in such invoice, the applicable amount set forth in each such invoice;

(iii) deliver to Parent the Transition Services Agreement, the Cooperative Support Agreement, the Subcontracting Services Agreement, the SSBT Production and Support Agreement and the Cross Product Incentive Agreement, each duly executed by Buyer; and

(iv) deliver to Parent the certificates required by Section 6.03(a) and Section 6.03(b).

provided that any election or designation to be made by any Seller under this Section 1.03(b) may instead be made by Parent on behalf of such Seller.

(b) At the Closing, Parent shall deliver or cause the Sellers to deliver to Buyer:

(i) duly executed instruments of assignment in respect of the Transferred Equity Interests in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, evidencing the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Transferred Equity Interests to Buyer;

(ii) unless otherwise requested by Buyer, resignation letters from the directors and officers and, in the case of Business Companies organized under the laws of England and Wales, corporate secretaries and officers of each of the Business Companies;

(iii) the Transition Services Agreement, the Cooperative Support Agreement, the Subcontracting Services Agreement, the SSBT Production and Support Agreement and the Cross Product Incentive Agreement, each duly executed by Parent;

(iv) the certificates required by Section 6.02(a) and Section 6.02(b); and

(v) an IRS Form W-9 for each Seller of equity interests in NYX or Xxx Xxxx, and an IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 for each other Seller.

(c) At the Closing, Buyer Pubco shall take all actions to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Parent (or, at Parent’s election and as a matter of convenience on behalf of Parent, to any such Person as may be designated in writing by Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), one or more certificates or book-entry interests, with appropriate restrictive legends, representing the Stock Consideration.

SECTION 1.04 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith estimate of (i) Closing Cash (“Estimated Closing Cash”), (ii) Working Capital Adjustment Amount (“Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Amount”), (iii) Closing Indebtedness (“Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), (iv) Business Expenses (“Estimated Business Expenses”), and (v) the Estimated Adjustment Amount. The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, and Business Expenses shall be determined without duplication.

(b) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of Closing Cash, Working Capital Adjustment Amount, Closing Indebtedness, Business Expenses and the Final Adjustment Amount assuming the amounts set forth in the Closing Statement were final, together with such schedules and data with respect to the determination thereof as may be appropriate to support the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement. The Estimated Closing Statement and the Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles or the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement. The parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Statement and determining Closing Cash, Working Capital Adjustment Amount, Closing Indebtedness, and Business Expenses and the related adjustments contemplated by this Section 1.04(b) is to measure the amount of Closing Cash, the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, Closing Indebtedness and Business Expenses in accordance with the Accounting Principles or the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement, and such process is not intended to permit the introduction of different accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of determining Closing Cash, the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, Closing Indebtedness and Business Expenses than those set forth in the Accounting Principles or the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement. Following the delivery of the Closing Statement, Buyer shall provide Parent and its Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the Business Records and relevant personnel and properties of the Business Companies to permit Parent to review the Closing Statement and Buyer’s calculation of Closing Cash, the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, Closing Indebtedness, Business Expenses and the Final Adjustment Amount as set forth therein. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the forty-fifth (45th) calendar day following receipt thereof by Parent (the “Response Period”), unless Parent gives written notice of its disagreement with the Closing Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the item(s), dollar amount(s), nature and basis of any disagreement so asserted, together with Parent’s alternative calculation of each disputed item, and each of Buyer and Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items contained in the Closing Statement that are not subject to the Notice of Disagreement. If a timely Notice of Disagreement is received by Buyer, then the Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the

parties on the earlier of (i) the date on which Buyer and Parent resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (ii) the date on which all such disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Independent Expert pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 1.04. During the thirty (30) calendar day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Buyer and Parent shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement; provided that all negotiations between Buyer and Parent regarding the matters specified in such Notice of Disagreement will (unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Parent) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any comparable applicable state rule. If Buyer and Parent have not resolved such matters at the end of such thirty (30) calendar day period, then Buyer and Parent shall promptly submit to an internationally recognized independent public accounting firm (the “Independent Expert”) for review any and all matters that remain in dispute and were included in the Notice of Disagreement. The Independent Expert shall be EYor, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other internationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Parent, and, if Buyer and Parent are unable to so agree within ten (10) calendar days after the end of such thirty (30) calendar day period, then Buyer and Parent shall each select a firm and such firms shall jointly select a third internationally recognized independent public accounting firm to resolve the disputed matters. The parties shall instruct the Independent Expert to render its decision as to the disputed items and the effect of its decision on the Closing Statement as promptly as practicable but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days after the date of such submission. Each party shall furnish to the Independent Expert such working papers and other relevant documents and information relating to the disputed items and shall provide interviews and answer questions as the Independent Expert may reasonably request in connection with its determination of such disputed items. In the event any party shall participate in teleconferences or meetings with, or make presentations to, the Independent Expert, the other party shall be entitled to participate in such teleconferences, meetings or presentations. Subject to the last sentence of Section 1.04(e), the terms of appointment and engagement of the Independent Expert shall be as agreed upon between Buyer and Parent in writing.

(c) In resolving any such disputed item, the Independent Expert (i) shall act in the capacity of an expert and not as an arbitrator, (ii) shall limit its review to matters specifically set forth in the Notice of Disagreement as to a disputed item (other than matters thereafter resolved by mutual written agreement of the parties), and such review shall be limited to determining whether such items are calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles or the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement and (iii) shall not assign a value to any disputed item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party in the Closing Statement or in the Notice of Disagreement. The Independent Expert is not authorized to, and shall not, make any other determination, including (A) any determination with respect to any matter included in the Closing Statement or the Notice of Disagreement that was not submitted for resolution to the Independent Expert, (B) any determination as to whether the Accounting Principles were followed with respect to the Financial Statements (unless a failure to follow the Accounting Principles with respect to the Financial Statements relates to a matter disputed in the Notice of Disagreement), (C) any determination as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.08 or any other representation or warranty in this Agreement or (D) any determination as to compliance by any party with any of its respective covenants in this Agreement. Any dispute not within the scope of disputes to be resolved by the Independent Expert pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall be resolved as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(d) The final determination by the Independent Expert of the matters submitted to it pursuant to Section 1.04(b) shall (i) be in writing, (ii) include the Independent Expert’s calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount, (iii) include the Independent Expert’s determination of each matter submitted to it pursuant to Section 1.04(b), (iv) include the proportionate allocations as provided in the last sentence of Section 1.04(e) and (v) include a brief summary of the Independent Expert’s reasons for its determination of each issue.

(e) Absent fraud, the resolution of disputed items by the Independent Expert shall be final and binding on the parties and an order may be entered in respect thereof by a court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Independent Expert incurred pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall be borne equally by Buyer and Parent.

(f) The procedures set forth in this Section 1.04 for resolving any dispute over the amounts contemplated to be determined as set forth in this Section 1.04 shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving such amounts with respect to the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount.

SECTION 1.05 Payments of Adjustments to the Closing Payment.

(a) If the Adjustment Amount is positive, then within five (5) Business Days after determination thereof, Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent (or, at Parent’s election, and as a matter of convenience on behalf of Parent, any such Person as may be designated in writing by Parent within two (2) Business Days after such determination) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account(s) designated in writing by Parent within two (2) Business Days after such determination, an amount in cash equal to such Adjustment Amount (an “Adjustment Increase”).

(b) If the Adjustment Amount is negative, then within five (5) Business Days after determination thereof, Parent shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer within two (2) Business Days after such determination, an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of such Adjustment Amount.

(c) Any payment made pursuant to Section 1.05(a) or Section 1.05(b) shall be accompanied by payment of interest on the absolute value of the applicable Adjustment Amount, at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate of interest reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over 360, from the Closing Date to the date of the first payment made pursuant to Section 1.05(a) or Section 1.05(b), as applicable.

(d) Any payment made pursuant to Section 1.05(a) or Section 1.05(b) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Cash Consideration for Tax purposes to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

SECTION 1.06 Withholding. Parent, Buyer and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable in connection with this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld pursuant to any applicable Law. Prior to making any deduction and withholding (excluding (i) any deduction or withholding in connection with a failure to furnish any documents under Section 1.03(b)(v), (ii) any backup withholding and (iii) any withholding in respect of amounts treated as compensation), the withholding party will (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding is to be made of the amounts subject to withholding as soon as reasonably practicable and prior to the anticipated date of payment and (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Person a reasonable opportunity to deliver such forms, certificates or other evidence as would eliminate or reduce any such required deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are deducted or withheld in accordance with this Section 1.06 and timely paid to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

ARTICLE II

SECTION 2.01 Organization and Good Standing; Organizational Documents.

(a) Parent, each of the other Sellers and each Business Company (i) is (or, upon its creation, will be) duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such concept) under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, (ii) has (or, upon its formation, will have) full corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets relating to the Business and to conduct the Business as presently conducted, except where any failure to have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to Parent, such Seller or such Business Company or to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent, each other Seller or each Business Company to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents or to consummate the Transactions, and (iii) is (or, upon its formation, will be) duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign company and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such concept) in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it relating to the Business or the nature of the Business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect.

(b) (i) True and complete copies of the organizational or similar documents of each Business Company, as in effect on the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of any Business Company not yet formed, as in effect at such Business Company’s formation), have been (or, reasonably promptly upon formation, will be) made available to Buyer and (ii) each such organizational or similar document is (or, upon such Business Company’s formation,

will be) in full force and effect and no Business Company is (or, upon such Business Company’s formation, will be) in violation of any provisions thereof, except for any failure to be in full force and effect or any violations of the provisions thereof, in each case, has not had, and would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to such Business Company or to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent to perform its obligations under this Agreement or of each of Parent, each other Seller and each Business Company to perform its obligations under any other Transaction Document to which it is, or is specified to be, a party or to consummate the Transactions.

SECTION 2.02 Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Parent has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, and each of Parent, each other Seller and each Business Company has (or, upon formation, will have) all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver any other Transaction Document to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Transactions. The execution, delivery and performance by Parent of this Agreement and the execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent, each other Seller and each Business Company of any other Transaction Document to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, and the consummation of the Transactions have been (or upon formation, will be) duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by Parent, such Seller or such Business Company, as applicable, and no other approval, authorization or corporate action on the part of Parent to authorize this Agreement or on the part of each of Parent, any other Seller or any Business Company is necessary to authorize any other Transaction Document to which it is, or is specified to be, a party. This Agreement has been, and each other Transaction Document to which Parent, such Seller or such Business Company is, or is specified to be, a party will at or prior to the Closing be, duly executed and delivered by Parent, such Seller or such Business Company, as applicable. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, this Agreement constitutes, and each other Transaction Document to which Parent, each other Seller and each Business Company is, or is specified to be, a party will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, such Seller and such Business Company, as applicable, enforceable against Parent, such Seller and such Business Company, as applicable, in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited against Parent, such Seller or such Business Company by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as from time to time in effect, or (ii) the exercise by courts of equity powers (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”). The Board of Directors of Parent has duly and validly adopted resolutions (i) determining that this Agreement and the Transactions are advisable and in the best interest of Parent and its stockholders and (ii) approving this Agreement and the Transactions upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03 Capitalization. Section 2.03 of the Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and correct list, as of (a) the date hereof and (b) immediately prior to the Closing after giving effect to the Internal Reorganization, in each case, of the authorized capitalization of each Transferred Company, the number of outstanding shares of each class of capital stock or other equity interest in each Transferred Company and the record and beneficial owners thereof. As of immediately prior to the Closing and after giving effect to the Internal Reorganization, each Seller will have good and valid title to the Transferred Equity Interests listed next to its name on Section 2.03 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, free and clear of any Liens other than transfer

restrictions under applicable Securities Laws, and will be the record and the beneficial owner of all such Transferred Equity Interests. At the Closing, Buyer (or its applicable Affiliate) will acquire good and valid title to the Transferred Equity Interests, free and clear of any Liens other than transfer restrictions under applicable Securities Laws, and will be the record and beneficial owner of all such Transferred Equity Interests.

To the Knowledge of Parent, as of the date of this Agreement, no Person is infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the rights of Parent and its Subsidiaries with respect to any Business Intellectual Property in a manner that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Each of Parent and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Debt Financing is not a condition to the Closing and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the Transactions irrespective and independently of the availability of the Debt Financing, subject to fulfillment or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI.

SECTION 5.04 Employee Benefit Matters. (a) Prior to the Closing Date, Parent and its Affiliates shall take all steps as are reasonably required to (i) transfer the employment of each individual who is a Business Employee to a Business Company and assign any employment agreement and the appropriate portion of any restrictive covenants agreement, confidentiality and similar agreements (“Business Employee Arrangements”) with such individual to the appropriate Business Company entity; and (ii) transfer the employment of each employee of a Business Company who is not a Business Employee from the Business Companies to Parent or one of its Affiliates, other than a Business Company and assign any employment agreement and the appropriate portion of any restrictive covenants agreement, confidentiality and similar agreements with such individual to the appropriate entity of Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Business Companies); provided, that Parent and its Affiliates shall under no circumstances be required to provide any individual with any additional compensation in order to effect any such transfers and the foregoing shall not apply to Automatic Transfer Employees. Except as prohibited by applicable Law, each Business Employee who is principally employed in the United States and who is not actively at work as of the Closing Date due to long-term disability leave (or short-term disability leave that could reasonably be expected to turn into long-term disability leave) and participates in Benefit Plans that provide disability benefits that are not Assumed Benefit Plans (each, a “U.S. Inactive Employee”) shall become and remain an employee of one of the Sellers or one of its Affiliates (other than a Business Company) until and unless the U.S. Inactive Employee becomes available for and able to return to active work within the 180 days following the Closing Date (or such longer period as required by applicable Law), upon which Buyer or one of its Subsidiaries shall offer employment to such U.S. Inactive Employee effective upon the date such U.S. Inactive Employee is available for and able to return to active work at which time such U.S. Inactive Employee shall be considered a Transferred Employee on and after (and solely with respect to the period following) the date on which he or she commences employment with Buyer or one of its Affiliates (including the Business Companies) for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”), Buyer shall provide, or cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Business Companies) to provide, to each Transferred Employee who remains employed by Buyer or one of its Affiliates, (i) a base salary or wage rate and target annual bonus opportunities (provided that such bonuses may be paid in the form of cash or in equity), that are, in each case, no less favorable than those provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to Closing, (ii) other compensation and benefits (excluding equity or equity-related incentives, enhanced redundancy payments, retention, change in control, transaction or similar bonuses and arrangements, defined benefit pension, retiree health and welfare benefits, non-qualified retirement benefits and non-qualified deferred compensation and any payments or benefits provided under the Specified Benefit Plans) that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to those provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to Closing; provided that, for the period between January 1, 2022 and the end of the Continuation Period, such benefits may instead be, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to either (A) the benefits and other compensation provided under the Benefit Plans or (B) those provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer or one or more of its Affiliates and (iii) severance payments and benefits (excluding any payments or benefits under the Scientific Games Corporation Change in Control Protection Plan) that are no less favorable than those provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to Closing; provided that, Buyer shall provide each Transferred Employee during the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2022, base salary, wage rate, target annual bonus opportunities and annual equity incentive opportunities, that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the base salary, wage rate, target annual bonus opportunities and equity incentive opportunities provided to such

Transferred Employee during the 2021 calendar year (excluding any payments or benefits provided under the Specified Benefit Plans). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing herein shall confer upon any Business Employee or any other employee of the Business Companies or any of their Affiliates any right to continued employment with the Business Companies or its Affiliates, nor shall anything herein interfere with the right of Buyer or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any of the Business Employees at any time after the Closing Date, without or without cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that any changes to compensation and benefits in connection with Buyer’s good faith response to COVID-19 shall not constitute a breach or violation of this Section 5.04(b).

(c) Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Business Companies) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any plans, programs, agreements or arrangements established or maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Business Companies) under which the Transferred Employees are eligible to participate to recognize each Transferred Employee’s service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Business Companies) and any predecessor thereof (to the extent such service was recognized by Parent and its Affiliates (including the Business Companies) under a substantially similar Benefit Plan), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, and benefit accruals (excluding for any purpose under defined benefit or retiree health or welfare plans or equity or equity-based compensation plans or non-qualified deferred compensation plans or any similar plans); provided, however, that such service need not be recognized for any purpose where service credit for the applicable period is not provided to participants generally or to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.04(b), Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Business Companies) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any employee health or other welfare benefit plan maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Benefit Plan immediately prior to the date upon which such Transferred Employees who participate under such comparable Benefits Plans under the Transition Services Agreement cease participation in any such comparable Benefits Plans (the applicable such date, a “Benefits Transition Date”) and (ii) provide full credit for any co-payments and deductibles made or incurred by each Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the applicable Benefits Transition Date occurs for purposes of satisfying the deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the applicable Benefits Transition Date and for the plan year in which such Benefits Transition Date occurs; provided that Parent shall have timely provided to Buyer sufficient information and documentation for Buyer to comply with this Section 5.04(d).

(e) Parent and Buyer intend that the Transactions should not constitute a layoff or separation, termination or severance of employment of any Business Employee prior to or upon the occurrence of the Closing Date, including for purposes of any Benefit Plan that provides for severance or similar benefits. Without limiting anything to the contrary herein, (i) Parent and its Affiliates (excluding the Business Companies) shall take all steps as are reasonably required to take the actions provided on Section 5.04(e)(i) of the Parent Disclosure Letter and (ii) Buyer and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Business Companies) shall take all steps as are reasonably required to take the actions provided on Section 5.04(e)(ii) of the Parent Disclosure Letter.

(f) (i) No later than the date upon which the 401(k) Employees cease active participation in the Parent 401(k) Plan (which shall occur once the applicable service under the Transition Services Agreement is terminated) (the “401(k) Transition Date”), Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including the Business Companies) to, have in effect one or more defined contribution plans that include a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (collectively, the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) that will provide benefits to the 401(k) Employees. Effective as of the asset transfer specified in Section 5.04(f)(ii), the Buyer 401(k) Plan shall assume and be solely responsible for all liabilities relating to the 401(k) Employees’ accounts in the Parent 401(k) Plan. Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Business Companies) shall be solely responsible for all ongoing rights of or relating to the 401(k) Employees for future participation (including, but not limited to, the right to make contributions through payroll deductions) in the Buyer 401(k) Plan.

(ii) Effective as of or as soon as administratively practicable after the 401(k) Transition Date, Parent shall cause the account balances (including, but not limited to, any outstanding loan balances) in the Parent 401(k) Plan attributable to the 401(k) Employees to transfer to the Buyer 401(k) Plan in the form of (A) promissory notes, to the extent the account balances represent outstanding loans and (B) cash, to the extent the account balances do not represent outstanding loans (collectively, the “401(k) Transfer Amounts”). Buyer shall cause the Buyer 401(k) Plan to accept such transfer of accounts and underlying assets and, effective as of the date of such transfer, to assume and to fully perform, pay or discharge, the obligations relating to the accounts of 401(k) Employees in accordance with any applicable legal requirements (including Section 414(l) of the Code) (collectively, the “Transferred 401(k) Liabilities”). The transfers shall be conducted in accordance with the terms of the Parent 401(k) Plan, Section 414(l) of the Code, Treasury Regulation 1.414(l)-1 and Section 208 of ERISA. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against the Transferred 401(k) Liabilities and any and all costs, damages, losses, expenses or other liabilities relating to the 401(k) Transfer Amounts.

(g) (i) No later than the date upon which the International DC Employees cease active participation in the applicable International Parent DC Plan (whether upon the Closing or once the applicable service under the Transition Services Agreement is terminated) (each, an “International DC Transition Date”), Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including the Business Companies) to, have in effect one or more defined contribution plans (collectively the “International Buyer DC Plans”) that will provide benefits to the International DC Employees. The applicable International Buyer DC Plans shall be tax-qualified in the same manner as the corresponding International Parent DC Plans, and Buyer shall provide Parent any determination letters or similar documentation evidencing such qualification. If the election specified pursuant to Section 5.04(f)(ii) is made with respect to an International Parent DC Plan, the corresponding International Buyer DC Plan shall have terms and features that are substantially identically to such International Parent DC Plan, so that such International Parent DC Plan is substantially replaced by such corresponding International Buyer DC Plan.

(ii) If Parent so elects in its sole discretion with respect to an International Parent DC Plan that is not an International Parent DC Plan in which the Business Employees based in the UK participate, then, at the times set forth below, (A) Buyer shall cause the applicable International Buyer DC Plan to assume the benefit accruals and related liabilities under the International Parent DC Plan with respect to the International DC Employees (the “Transferred DC Liabilities”) and provide credit to the International DC Employees for such accruals, and Buyer and Parent and their respective Affiliates and the International Parent DC Plans shall be relieved of all liabilities under such International Parent DC Plan with respect to the International DC Employees and (B) Parent shall cause the transfer under each such International Parent DC Plan to the corresponding International Buyer DC Plan of (x) cash, cash equivalents or other property equal to the actual account balances of the International DC Employees under each such International Parent DC Plan as of the applicable International DC Transition Date or such greater amount as is required by the applicable regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the International Parent DC Plan in order to obtain approval of such transfer, and (y) any notes corresponding to loans of the International DC Employees (collectively, the “DC Transfer Amounts”). The transfer of the DC Transfer Amounts shall be subject to such consents, approvals and other legal requirements as may apply under applicable Law. Buyer shall cause the Transferred DC Liabilities and the DC Transfer Amounts to be accepted by the applicable International Buyer DC Plan. To the extent an International Parent DC Plan is not required to be funded by applicable Law and is not voluntarily funded as of the Closing, there shall be no transfer of assets.

(iii) The DC Transfer Amounts to be transferred, if any, from the respective International Parent DC Plans and the corresponding benefit accrual Buyer is required to assume, if any, shall be equitably adjusted to take into account benefit payments made from the respective International Parent DC Plans to the International DC Employees after the applicable International DC Transition Date but prior to the date of transfer and for any earnings and losses on such amount during such period. The transfer of the DC Transfer Amount, if any, shall take place within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of the applicable International DC Transition Date.

(iv) At the times of the transfers of the DC Transfer Amounts, if any (or if there is no transfer of assets with respect to a particular plan because the plan is not required to be funded under applicable Law, and is not voluntarily funded, at the applicable International DC Transition Date), Buyer and the International Buyer DC Plans shall assume the Transferred DC Liabilities. From and after the date of the transfer of the DC Transfer Amount, if any (or if there is no transfer of assets with respect to a particular plan because the plan is not required to be funded under applicable Law, as of the applicable International DC Transition Date), Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against the Transferred DC Liabilities and any and all costs, damages, losses, expenses, or other liabilities relating to the DC Transfer Amounts.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if any transfer contemplated by this Section 5.04(g) with respect to an International Parent DC Plan would be prohibited by applicable Law or applicable Law requires that any liabilities and/or assets with respect to an International Parent DC Plan transfer at a different time or in a different manner, then the provisions of Section 5.04(g)(i) – (iv), as applicable, shall not apply with respect to such International Parent DC Plan or shall be deemed modified so that any liabilities and/or assets, if any, with respect to such International Parent DC Plan shall instead transfer in accordance with applicable Law.

(h) If the date upon which the FSA Employees cease participation in the Parent FSA Plan (whether such date occurs upon the Closing or once the applicable service under the Transition Services Agreement is terminated) (the “FSA Transition Date”) is other than December 31, then Parent and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary or appropriate so that, effective as of the FSA Transition Date, (i) the account balances (whether positive or negative) (the “Transferred FSA Balances”) under the Parent FSA Plan of the FSA Employees shall be transferred to a flexible spending reimbursement account under a cafeteria plan qualifying under Section 125 of the Code (the “Buyer FSA Plan”); (ii) the elections, contribution levels and coverage levels of the FSA Employees shall apply under the Buyer FSA Plan in a substantially similar manner as under the Parent FSA Plan; and (iii) the FSA Employees shall be reimbursed from the Buyer FSA Plan for claims incurred at any time during the plan year of the Parent FSA Plan in which the FSA Transition Date occurs that are submitted to the Buyer FSA Plan from and after the FSA Transition Date on a similar basis and similar terms and conditions as under the Parent FSA Plan. As soon as practicable after the FSA Transition Date, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the amount of the Transferred FSA Balances is determined, Parent shall pay Buyer the net aggregate amount of the Transferred FSA Balances, if such amount is positive, and Buyer shall pay Parent the net aggregate amount of the Transferred FSA Balances, if such amount is negative.

(i) Parent and Buyer shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to, cooperate to take all steps, on a timely basis, as are required under applicable Law or any Collective Bargaining Agreement, if any, to notify, consult with, or negotiate the effect, impact, terms or timing of the Transactions with respect to Business Employees with each works council, union, labor board, employee group, or Governmental Entity where so required under applicable Law. Parent and Buyer shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to, comply with all applicable Laws, directives and regulations relating to the Business Employees with respect to any actions under this Section 5.04(i).

(j) To the extent applicable, the parties hereto acknowledge the application of the European Council Directive of March 12, 2001 (2001/23/EC) (the “Directive”), relating to the safeguarding of employees’ rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of businesses and any country legislation implementing the Directive and any other similar Law (collectively, the “Transfer Regulations”). Buyer shall take all such actions that may be necessary or required in order to cause the Transfer Regulations to apply to the Transactions, and Buyer shall refrain from taking any action that could cause the Transfer Regulations not to apply to the Transactions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that they shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, comply with the Transfer Regulations to the extent applicable.

(k) Prior to the Closing, any material written employee notices or communication materials (including website postings) from Buyer or its Affiliates to the Business Employees regarding employment, compensation or benefits matters addressed in this Agreement or related, directly or indirectly, to the Transactions or employment thereafter (excluding any such employee notices or written communication materials relating to any agreements or arrangements with respect to individual Business Employees, which shall not become effective until on or after, and conditional upon the, Closing, and under which Parent or its Affiliates (excluding, following the Closing, the Business Companies) shall have no liability; provided that the Buyer shall provide advance notification to Parent of the Business Employees to whom Buyer intends to provide such notices or communications), which contains information that has not become publicly available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise through the consent or action of Parent and shall be subject to the prior review and comment of Parent (with any reasonable comments considered in good faith).

(l) Following the date hereof, including following the Closing, the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate in all matters reasonably necessary to ensure the proper administration of any compensation and benefit plans, including the Benefit Plans, including by exchanging information and data relating to the Business Employees (except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law). Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, in order to ensure the proper administration of the Specified Benefit Plans and Benefit Plans that are equity or equity-based compensation plans, Buyer and its Affiliates shall promptly notify Parent of the termination of, and to the extent required by Parent for such administration, the circumstances of such termination of, any Transferred Employee party to a Specified Benefit Plan.

(m) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.04, effective as of the Closing Date, (i) Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Business Companies) shall assume and bear, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates from and against, all liabilities (A) relating to the Assumed Benefit Plans, or (B) relating to the employment of any individual, including any Business Employee, by any of the Business Companies but arising solely out of events or circumstances occurring after the Closing (or, with respect to U.S. Inactive Employees, the date of commencement of employment with Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Business Companies) following the Closing), other than any liabilities described in clause (ii)(A), and (ii) Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Business Companies) shall retain and bear, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates from and against, all liabilities (A) relating to the Retained Benefit Plans, including the Specified Benefit Plans, or (B) relating to the employment of any individual by any of Parent and its Affiliates, other than any liabilities described in clause (i) of this Section 5.04(n) or (C) relating to any claims made by any Business Employee for any statutory or common law severance or other separation benefits, any contractual or other severance or separation benefits and any other legally mandated payment obligations (including any compensation payable during a mandatory termination notice period and any payments pursuant to a judgment of a court having jurisdiction over the parties hereto) and for any other claim or liability (whether related to compensation, benefits or otherwise), in each case, directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with (x) the Internal Reorganization, the transfer of the Transferred Equity Interests or the Acquisition, or (y) an Automatic Transfer Employee’s objection to the automatic transfer of employment to Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or a Business Company.

(n) No provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall create any right in any employee to continued employment by Parent, any Seller, any Business Company, Buyer or any of their Affiliates, or preclude the ability of Parent, any Seller, any Business Company, Buyer or any of their Affiliates to terminate the employment of any employee for any reason. This Section 5.04 shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.04, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.04 or is intended to be, shall constitute or be construed as an amendment to or modification of any employee benefit plan, program, arrangement or policy of Parent, any Seller, any Business Company, Buyer or any of their Affiliates. No Business Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.04, and this Section 5.04 shall not create such rights in any such Person.

SECTION 5.05 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) to cause any acquisition or disposition of any equity securities of Buyer or any derivative thereof that occurs or is deemed to occur by reason of or pursuant to the Transactions by each Person who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act in connection with the Transactions to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including by taking steps in accordance with the No-Action Letter, dated January 12, 1999, issued by the SEC regarding such matters.

SECTION 5.06 Indemnification and Insurance. (a) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Business Companies to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Closing is, or at any time prior to the Closing was, a director or officer of any Business Company (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Action (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, matters relating to his/her serving as a director or officer of such Business Company and existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, to the fullest extent that the Business Companies would have been required under their respective organizational documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such Person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law) and (ii) assume and undertake and agree to honor all obligations of the Business Companies or Parent and its Subsidiaries (solely to the extent related to the Business) to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions relating to his/her serving as a director or officer of such Business Company and occurring at or prior to the Closing as provided in their respective organizational documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in any agreement set forth on Section 5.06 of the Parent Disclosure Letter in existence as of the date of this Agreement inuring to the benefit of any Indemnitee with respect to the Business and providing for indemnification.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer, from and after the Closing unless otherwise required by applicable Law, shall cause the organizational documents of the Business Companies to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees in respect of the matters described in Section 5.06(a) with respect to exculpation of liabilities, indemnification and advancement of expenses than are set forth in the organizational documents of the Business Companies as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees. In addition, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall, without requiring a preliminary determination of entitlement to indemnification, advance any expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) of any Indemnitee under this Section 5.06 (including in connection with enforcing the indemnity and other obligations referred to in this Section 5.06) as incurred to the fullest extent required by such organizational documents.

(c) Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Business Companies not to, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Action relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.06 (each, a “D&O Claim”) for which indemnification and advancement could be sought by an Indemnitee hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such D&O Claim or such Indemnitee otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or judgment. Buyer, its Subsidiaries and the Indemnitees shall cooperate in the defense of any D&O Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(d) Buyer shall, prior to the Closing, purchase a six-year prepaid “tail policy” provided by an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Parent and its Subsidiaries (solely to the extent relating to the Business) or the Business Companies and on terms and conditions providing at least substantially equivalent benefits as such current policies with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Closing, covering without limitation the Transactions; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be required to pay annual premiums for such policy in excess of 300% of the most recent annual premiums paid by Parent and its Subsidiaries. Buyer shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and to honor all of its obligations thereunder.

(e) In the event that (i) Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (A) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (B) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, or (ii) Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their successors or assigns dissolves, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or such Subsidiary shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 5.06.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to any Indemnitee, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification and advancement provided for in this Section 5.06 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(g) The parties’ obligations under this Section 5.06 shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Closing Date; provided, however, that if any D&O Claim (whether arising before, at or after the Closing) is brought against an Indemnitee on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, the provisions of this Section 5.06 shall continue in effect until the full and final resolution of such D&O Claim.

(h) The provisions of this Section 5.06 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her Representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification, advancement or contribution that any such individual may have under the organizational documents of Parent or its Subsidiaries (to the extent relating to the Business) or the Business Companies, under any agreement providing for indemnification or advancement, by other contract or otherwise. The obligations of Buyer and its Subsidiaries under this Section 5.06 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.06 applies unless the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.06 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.06).

SECTION 5.07 Notification. Parent shall give prompt notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall give prompt notice to Parent, upon such party obtaining Knowledge of a breach or failure to be true and correct of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by it contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to be true and correct would give rise to the failure of a condition in Section 6.02(a), Section 6.02(b), Section 6.03(a) or Section 6.03(b), as applicable; provided, however, that (a) no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties, any termination rights or indemnification rights of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement and (b) any failure to give any such notification shall not in and of itself be deemed to constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Section 6.02 or Section 6.03, as applicable, to be satisfied.

SECTION 5.08 Internal Reorganization. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the other Sellers and the Business Companies) to, consummate the transactions as described on the Steps Plan, which transactions will result in the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries primarily related to, and the liabilities of Parent and its Subsidiaries to the extent related to, the Business being held by the Business Companies, and the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries primarily related to, and the liabilities of Parent and its Subsidiaries to the extent related to, the Retained Business being held by Parent and its Subsidiaries other than the Business Companies, in each case immediately prior to the Closing (the “Internal Reorganization”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent shall be permitted to amend or modify the Steps Plan if such amendment or modification is determined by Parent to be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that Buyer’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) shall be required with respect to any such amendments or modifications that would reasonably be expected to (i) prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the Transactions (including by reason of any newly required Consents or other approvals in

connection with the Transactions), or (ii) have a material and adverse impact on Buyer or its Affiliates (including, but not limited to, with respect to any Tax planning of Buyer and its Affiliates) or the Business or the Business Companies (for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the impact on Buyer or its Affiliates of any such amendment or modification, Parent’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be taken into account). In the event the Steps Plan is amended or modified in accordance with this Section 5.08, Parent shall update Section 9.02(f) of the Parent Disclosure Letter to reflect such amendments or modifications to the Steps Plan. Parent shall pay and bear all Taxes arising in connection with the Internal Reorganization (including any amendment or modification of the Steps Plan in accordance with this Section 5.08), and the Internal Reorganization shall be undertaken in a manner that does not leave Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Business Companies) with any unreimbursed liability for Taxes. Prior to the Closing, Parent will cooperate with any request of Buyer to make such modifications to this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parent Disclosure Schedule) as are required to permit Buyer to effectuate the acquisition of OpenBet North American Corporation, OpenBet Hellas S.A., and OpenBet New Zealand Limited via a direct purchase of the equity interests of those entities by Buyer (or Buyer’s designated Affiliate) immediately prior to the acquisition of the Transferred Equity Interests of OB Tech Newco Target (rather than Buyer acquiring such entities indirectly via a transfer of the Transferred Equity Interests of OB Tech Newco Target); provided, that in no event will Parent or Buyer be required to agree to make any modifications to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to this sentence to the extent such modification would have material and adverse consequences to Buyer (or its Affiliates) or Parent (or its Affiliates) (and provided that if this Agreement is modified to provide for such a direct purchase, Buyer shall make (or cause to be made) an election under Section 338(g) with respect to each such entity that is directly purchased). The material documentation effecting the Internal Reorganization and the settlement of intercompany positions pursuant to Section 5.17 shall be subject to the review and comment of Buyer.

SECTION 5.09 Preservation of Pre-Closing Business Records.For a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date or such longer time as may be required by applicable Law: Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Business Companies) to, (i) provide Parent and its Representatives with reasonable access (at their sole expense) to the Pre-Closing Business Records on reasonable notice and at reasonable times at Buyer’s principal place of business or at any location (including electronically) where any Pre-Closing Business Records are stored, and permit Parent and its Representatives, at their own expense, to make copies of any Pre-Closing Business Records, (ii) make reasonably available Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ personnel (including, after the Closing, personnel of the Business Companies) to assist in locating such Pre-Closing Business Records and (iii) make reasonably available Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ personnel (including personnel of the Business Companies and their Subsidiaries) whose assistance or participation is reasonably required by Parent or its Representatives in anticipation of, or preparation for, existing or future Actions or Tax Proceedings by a Governmental Entity, in each case only (A) to the extent necessary for Parent or its Affiliates to comply with applicable Law or Order or comply with an audit or investigation from a Governmental Entity, (B) in connection with an Action or Tax Proceeding brought by a Governmental Entity or other third party against Parent or any of its Affiliates or (C) to determine the rights and obligations of Parent and any of its Affiliates under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, or in connection with the Transactions; provided that Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of Buyer and its Affiliates.

SECTION 5.10 Litigation. In the event that any Action related to this Agreement or the Transactions is brought, or, to the Knowledge of Buyer, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand, threatened in writing, against Buyer Pubco or any of the directors or officers of Buyer Pubco by any of Buyer Pubco’s stockholders, on the one hand, or against Parent or any of the directors or officers of Parent by any of Parent’s stockholders, on the other hand, in each case prior to the Closing, the party against whom such Action is brought or threatened shall promptly notify the other party of any such Action and keep such other party reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. The party against whom such Action is brought or threatened shall provide the other party the opportunity to participate in (at its sole cost and subject to a customary joint defense agreement), but not control, the defense of any such Action, shall give due consideration to the other party’s advice with respect to such Action and shall not settle or agree to settle any such Action without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. For the avoidance of doubt, the party against whom such Action is brought or threatened shall bear all of its costs of investigation and all of its defense and attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees related to such Action (other than any costs related to the other party’s participation as aforesaid).

SECTION 5.11 Stock Exchange Listing. Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Buyer Pubco Class A Common Shares issuable in accordance with this Agreement to be approved for listing on the Stock Exchange pursuant to a supplemental listing application, subject to official notice of issuance (to the extent such concept is applicable), prior to the Closing Date.

SECTION 5.12 Public Announcements. The parties hereto agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Transactions following execution of this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties hereto. No party hereto shall issue any press release or make any other public statements with respect to the Transactions without the consent of the other party hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except as may be required by applicable Law, Order, court process or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system; provided that the party proposing to issue any press release or to make any other public statement in compliance with any such disclosure obligations shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other party before doing so. Notwithstanding the forgoing, this Section 5.12 shall not apply to any press release or other public statement made by any of the parties hereto which (a) is substantially consistent with the information that has previously been announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) is made in the ordinary course of business and does not relate specifically to this Agreement or the Transactions.

SECTION 5.13 Fees and Expenses; Invoices. (a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses.

(b) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each payee of Business Expenses to submit, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, a written invoice for the full amount of unpaid Business Expenses owed to such payee in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Transaction.

SECTION 5.14 Tax Matters.

(a) Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes.

(i) Parent shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all (A) Tax Returns (other than those relating to Transfer Taxes, which are addressed by Section 5.14(g) and Parent Consolidated Tax Returns) for taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Business Companies or in respect of the Business; and (B) all Parent Consolidated Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns described in this Section 5.14(a)(i) shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or except as otherwise provided herein (and provided that the requirement that Parent Consolidated Tax Returns be filed in a manner consistent with past practice shall apply only with respect to matters that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on Buyer or its Affiliates). All Tax Returns described in the foregoing clause (A) that are required to be filed after the Closing Date or that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a liability that Buyer or its Affiliates would be required to pay under applicable Law or the terms of this Agreement shall be delivered to Buyer (together with additional information Buyer may reasonably request) for its review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date thereof (or, if such deadline is not reasonably practical considering the circumstances of the applicable Tax Return, as soon as reasonably practical). Parent shall pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes for which it is responsible under Section 8.02 with respect to Tax Returns described in this Section 5.14(a)(i) (and with respect to any such amounts required to be paid by Buyer or its Affiliates to an applicable Governmental Entity, shall pay such amounts to Buyer or its applicable Affiliates at least two (2) days prior to the due date for such payment).

(ii) Buyer shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all Tax Returns (other than Tax Returns described in Section 5.14(a)(i) to be prepared and filed by Parent, including Parent Consolidated Tax Returns) for Straddle Periods with respect to the Business Companies or in respect of the Business that are required to be filed after the Closing Date. Any such Tax Return shall, to the extent relevant to determining any Tax liability for which Parent or its Affiliates would be responsible, be prepared on a basis consistent with the past practices of the relevant Business Company or Business (as applicable) unless otherwise required by applicable Law or as otherwise provided herein. All such Tax Returns that give rise to a liability for which Parent or its Affiliates are responsible shall be delivered to Parent (together with any additional information that Parent may reasonably request) for its review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date thereof (or, if such deadline is not reasonably practical considering the circumstances of the applicable Tax Return, as soon as reasonably practical). Parent shall pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes for which it is responsible under Section 8.02 with respect to Tax Returns described in this Section 5.14(a)(ii) (and, with respect to any such amounts required to be paid by Buyer or its Affiliates to an applicable Governmental Entity, shall pay such amounts to Buyer or its applicable Affiliate at least two (2) days prior to the due date for such payment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Tax Return to be filed by Buyer or its Affiliates (whether governed by Section 5.14(a)(i) or this Section 5.14(a)(ii)), in no event will Buyer be forced to accept any Tax Return position that is not at least “more likely than not” correct under applicable Law.

(iii) Any Tax Return for a Straddle Period shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and not giving rise to any adverse effect to Buyer or its Affiliates, be filed on the basis that the relevant Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement (including for purposes of determining Closing Working Capital and Parent’s indemnification liabilities under Section 8.02(c)) and allocating Taxes that are attributable to a Straddle Period, (A) property, ad valorem and similar Taxes shall be allocated on a per diem basis, (B) all other Taxes shall be allocated on a “closing of the books” basis as of the close of business on the Closing Date (for such purpose, the taxable period of any controlled foreign corporation or passthrough entity (or other entity the operations of which are relevant to the determination of Tax liabilities required to be allocated hereunder) in which any Business Company holds a direct or indirect beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and (C) all deductions of the Business Companies arising as a result of the payment, discharge or satisfaction of Closing Indebtedness or Business Expenses shall, to the extent such position is more likely than not correct under applicable Law, be allocated to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(iv) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions as are required to be taken in order to cause the Tax Returns that have not been timely filed that are disclosed on Section 2.10(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter to be filed (and Parent shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes required to be paid with such Tax Returns, including any applicable interest, penalties or additions to Tax).

(b) Carrybacks. Without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, agrees not to use or apply in any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date any Tax asset, including any net capital loss, net operating loss or foreign or other Tax credit of any Business Company generated in any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer and its Affiliates shall have no rights with respect to any Tax Proceeding relating to Taxes of any Parent Consolidated Group, except as set forth in this Section 5.14(c)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and its Affiliates shall not settle or resolve any Tax Proceeding of any Parent Consolidated Group with respect to the Business Companies in a manner that would have a material and adverse impact on Buyer or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(ii) Each of Buyer (and its Affiliates) and Parent (and its Affiliates) shall notify the other party within ten (10) Business Days of receiving notice of a Tax Proceeding for a Pre-Closing Tax Period with respect to any Business Company or the Business that could reasonably be expected to affect any Taxes for which the other party (or its respective Affiliates) would be responsible under applicable Law or the terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account the indemnification obligations under this Agreement); provided, that any failure to timely deliver such notice shall not limit any party’s rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent of actual prejudice to the other party arising from such delay. To the extent reasonably practical, the issues with respect to any such Tax Proceeding shall be divided, with Buyer entitled to control such matters for which Buyer and its Affiliates will be responsible and Parent entitled to control such matters for which Parent or its Affiliates will be responsible (for, the avoidance of doubt, taking into account the indemnification obligations under this Agreement). With respect to any such issues in a Tax Proceeding that cannot be so divided and for which Parent or its Affiliates reasonably expect to be responsible for greater than fifty percent (50%) of all Damages in connection therewith, Parent shall be entitled to control the conduct of such matters; provided that (i) Buyer shall have the right to reasonably participate in any such Tax Proceeding (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Parent Consolidated Group) at its own expense for out-of-pocket costs; (ii) Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to (A) consider in good faith Buyer’s suggestions; (B) keep Buyer reasonably informed on the status of such matters (including providing Buyer with copies of all material written correspondence with a Governmental Entity regarding such Tax Proceeding), and (C) not settle or resolve any such matters or Tax Proceeding without Buyer’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Buyer shall control any Tax Proceedings of the Business Companies (excluding any Tax Proceedings with respect to a Parent Consolidated Group) that Parent is not entitled to control under this Section 5.14(c)(ii), provided, that (i) Parent shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Proceeding at its own expense for out-of-pocket costs, (ii) Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (A) consider in good faith Parent’s reasonable suggestions with respect to such Tax Proceeding, (B) keep Parent reasonably informed of the status of such Tax Proceeding (including providing Parent with copies of all material written correspondence with a Governmental Entity regarding such Tax Proceeding) and (C) not settle or resolve such Tax Proceeding without Parent’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(d) Cooperation. Each of Buyer and Parent shall provide the other with such information and records (including copies of any relevant Tax Returns and supporting work schedules), and make such of its officers, directors, employees and agents available, as may reasonably be requested by such other party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or the conduct of any Tax Proceeding, in each case relating to the Business Companies or the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent shall not be required to provide Buyer with a copy of any Parent Consolidated Tax Return. Parent shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) prepare and timely provide to Buyer or its Affiliates all information required for Buyer to prepare and file the Tax Returns described in Section 5.14(a)(ii) or otherwise discharge its Tax compliance responsibilities with respect to the Business and the Business Companies.

(e) Certain Tax Matters.

With respect to each Business Company listed on Section 5.14(e)(ii)of the Parent Disclosure Schedule for which an election under Section 338(g) of the Code is not made, Parent shall make, or cause to be made (to the extent such election is permitted under applicable Law), an election to close the Tax year of such Business Company pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.245A-5(e)(3)(i) with respect to the direct or indirect transfer of equity interests in such Business Company. Buyer shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) cooperate and take such actions as are necessary to effect any such election referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, make any election pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36 (and equivalent elections under other provisions of available U.S. state or local or non-U.S. Law) necessary to ensure that there is no reduction in the Tax basis of the assets of, or in the other Tax attributes of, any Business Company. Parent and Buyer agree to report (or cause their applicable Affiliates to report) the transfer of all Business Companies consistent with the elections or other tax reporting positions set forth in this Section 5.14(e) and shall take no position contrary thereto on their income Tax Returns unless required to do so by applicable Law.

Buyer and Parent shall reasonably cooperate to prepare and timely file any Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes, and Buyer or Parent, as applicable shall timely reimburse the other party for the share of any Transfer Taxes for which it is responsible under this Section 5.14(g) that were paid by the other party (or such other parties’ Affiliates).

(h) Tax Sharing Agreements. Prior to the Closing Date, all Tax sharing and similar arrangements (excluding this Agreement) between (A) the Business Companies, on one hand, and (B) Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Business Companies), on the other hand, shall be terminated and shall have no further effect as of the Closing Date (and the Business and the Business Companies will have no further obligations with respect thereto). The Tax sharing or similar arrangements to be cancelled pursuant to this Section 5.14(h) are set forth on Section 5.14(h) of the Parent Disclosure Letter.

The amount of such refund, credit or overpayment shall be paid to the applicable Seller fifteen (15) days after receipt by a Business Company of a cash Tax refund or after filing of the final Tax Return reflecting the application by a Business Company of the relevant amount as a credit or offset against Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing (A) Sellers shall not be entitled to any payment pursuant to this Section 5.14(i) (1) unless the Tax payment being refunded (or utilized as a credit or offset) was paid by Sellers or their Affiliates prior to the Closing Date, included as a liability in the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, or indemnified by Parent under the terms of this Agreement, (2) to the extent such refund, credit or offset is attributable to any Tax attribute arising in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or to any Tax attribute of Buyer or its Affiliates (excluding, for this purpose, the Business Companies) whether arising before, on or after the Closing Date, (3) to the extent such refund, credit or offset is the subject of a then-pending audit or other examination, or (4) with respect to any Tax refund (or credit) that was taken into account in the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount; and (B) the amount of any payment to Sellers hereunder shall be net of all costs, expenses, losses or Taxes incurred by Buyer or its Affiliates in connection with the receipt of such refund, credit or offset and any payments to Sellers hereunder.

(j) Final Tax Allocation. Within sixty (60) days following the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, Buyer shall deliver to Parent an allocation of any amounts properly taken into account for applicable Tax purposes among the assets acquired (or deemed acquired) for Tax purposes in connection with this Agreement (the “Asset Allocation”), which allocation shall be consistent with the Consideration Allocation Schedule (with appropriate adjustments to reflect any payments under Section 1.05(a) or Section 1.05(b)). Parent shall have thirty (30) days to review such schedule and provide notice to Buyer of any objections, and Parent and Buyer shall endeavor in good faith to resolve any such objections for thirty (30) days. If Parent and Buyer are not able to resolve any such objections, the matters in dispute shall be referred to the Independent Expert for prompt resolution (which resolution of the Independent Expert shall be consistent with the Consideration Allocation Schedule (with appropriate adjustments to reflect any payments under Section 1.05(a) or Section 1.05(b)) and conducted in a manner consistent with Section 1.04(b), applied mutatis mutandis). Buyer and Parent shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) file their income Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Asset Allocation, as finally agreed by Parent and Buyer or resolved by the Independent Expert (the “Final Asset Allocation”), and no party shall take any position on their income Tax Returns that is inconsistent therewith except as required pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar resolution or settlement under other provisions of applicable Law). Parent and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate to make any allocations that are required for applicable Tax purposes prior to the time that the Final Asset Allocation is finally determined pursuant to this Section 5.14(j).

SECTION 5.15 Retained Names. From and after the Closing, except as expressly provided in this Section 5.15, any and all rights of the Business Companies to use the Retained Names shall terminate as of the Closing and shall immediately revert to Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Business Companies), along with any and all goodwill associated therewith. As promptly as practicable following the Closing, but in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days after the Closing, Buyer shall cause each Business Company to, as applicable, change its corporate or company name to remove any reference to the Retained Names and file in each jurisdiction in which each Business Company is qualified to do business all documents necessary to reflect such change of name or to terminate its qualification in such jurisdiction under such name. Buyer acknowledges that it has no rights or interests, and is not acquiring any rights or interests, directly or indirectly, through the Business Companies or otherwise, to use the Retained Names, except as expressly provided for in this Section 5.15. The Business Companies shall, for a period of ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing (the “Transition Period”), be entitled to use the existing letterheads, policies and procedures and other internal documents and materials in existence and used in the operation of the Business as of the Closing, in each case, containing the Retained Names; provided that all such uses of the Retained Names shall be in substantially the same form and manner as used in the Business as of the Closing. No later than the end of the Transition Period, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Business Companies) to, revise all letterheads, policies and procedures and other internal documents and materials to delete all references to the Retained Names. Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.15, no other right to use the Retained Names is granted by Parent or any of its Affiliates to Buyer, its Affiliates or, after the Closing, the Business Companies, whether by implication or otherwise, and nothing hereunder permits Buyer, its Affiliates or, after the Closing, the Business Companies, to use the Retained Names in any manner, or to register or seek to register, or to permit, cause or assist any third party to register or to seek to register, any of the Retained Names in any jurisdiction.

SECTION 5.21 Registration Rights.

(a) Buyer Pubco shall file within forty-five (45) calendar days after the Closing (the “Filing Deadline”), and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, a registration statement on Form S-1 (or, if Buyer Pubco becomes eligible to register the sale of securities on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, then on Form S-3) (the “Resale Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all of the shares of Buyer Pubco Class A Common Shares issued to the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.03(c) (together with any equity security issued in exchange for or with respect to any such Buyer Pubco Class A Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or similar transaction, or otherwise, the “Class A Shares”) (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that Buyer Pubco’s obligations to include a Seller’s Class A Shares in the Resale Registration Statement are contingent upon such Seller furnishing in writing to Buyer Pubco such information regarding such Seller, the securities of Buyer Pubco held by such Seller and the intended method of disposition of the Class A Shares held by such Seller (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be reasonably requested by Buyer Pubco to effect the registration of the Class A Shares held by such Seller, and such Seller shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Buyer Pubco may reasonably request. Buyer Pubco agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Resale Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Class A Shares, to remain effective until the earliest of (x) two (2) years following the date of effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, (y) the date on which the Sellers cease to hold any Class A Shares issued pursuant to Section 1.03(c) and (z) the first date on which the Sellers are able to sell all of their Class A Shares in a 90-day period without registration under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule promulgated under the Securities Act (but with no volume or other restrictions or limitations including as to manner or timing of sale); provided, that Buyer Pubco shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, and from time to time require the Sellers not to sell under the Resale Registration Statement or suspend effectiveness thereof, if it determines that in order for the Resale Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (i)the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Buyer Pubco or its Subsidiaries (including Buyer) is pending or another event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or (ii) other event the board of directors of Buyer Pubco reasonably and in good faith believes, in either case, would require additional disclosure by Buyer Pubco in the Resale Registration Statement of material information that Buyer Pubco has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Resale Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Buyer Pubco’s board of directors, to cause the Resale Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Buyer Pubco may not delay or suspend the Resale Registration Statement on more than three (3) occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days, in each case during any 12-month period. Upon receipt of written notice from

Buyer Pubco (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding Buyer Pubco) of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Resale Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Resale Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, Parent, on behalf of itself and each Seller, hereby agrees that (i) it and all Sellers will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Class A Shares under the Resale Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until it and such Sellers receive copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Buyer Pubco agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receive notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Buyer Pubco that it and such Sellers may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it and all Sellers will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Buyer Pubco unless otherwise required by Law or subpoena. If so directed by Buyer Pubco, Parent and each Seller will deliver to Buyer Pubco or, in Parent or such Seller’s sole discretion, destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Class A Shares in its respective possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Class A Shares shall not apply (A) to the extent Parent or such Seller is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (I) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (II) in accordance with a bona fide preexisting document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data backup. Parent and the Sellers shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Class A Shares. Any failure by Buyer Pubco to file the Resale Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Resale Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve Buyer Pubco of its obligations to file or effect the Resale Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 5.21.

(b) (i) Right to Piggyback. Whenever (A) Buyer Pubco proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act or (B) a holder of registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 28, 2021, by and among Buyer Pubco and each person identified on the Schedule of Holders attached thereto as of the date thereof (the “Existing Registration Rights Agreement”; and any such holder, an “Existing Holder”) causes the company to undertake an underwritten offering pursuant to its registration rights (in each case other than (x) in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor or similar forms or (y) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Class A Shares) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Class A Shares (a “Piggyback Registration”), Buyer Pubco shall give prompt written notice to Parent of its intention to effect such Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Section 5.21(b)(iii), shall include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Class A Shares with respect to which Buyer Pubco has received written requests from the Sellers for inclusion therein within ten days after delivery of Buyer Pubco’s notice.

(ii) Piggyback Expenses. All expenses incident to Buyer Pubco’s performance of or compliance with this Section 5.21(b) (including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for Buyer Pubco and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by Buyer Pubco) (collectively, “Registration Expenses”) shall be paid by Buyer Pubco in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration became effective, excluding any underwriting commissions or fees for shares sold by the Sellers which shall be paid by the respective Sellers.

(iii) Priority on Primary Registrations.

(A) If a Piggyback Registration is effective pursuant to clause (A) of Section 5.21(b)(i), and the managing underwriters advise Buyer Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, Buyer Pubco shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities Buyer Pubco proposes to sell, (ii) second, the registrable securities of Existing Holders required to be included in such registration pursuant to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, (iii) third, the Class A Shares requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the Sellers calculated on the basis of the number of Class A Shares owned by each such Seller that such Seller shall have requested to be included therein to the total number of Class A Shares requested by all such Sellers and (iv) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect.

(B) If a Piggyback Registration is effective pursuant to clause (B) of Section 5.21(b)(i), and the managing underwriters advise Buyer Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, Buyer Pubco shall include in such registration (i) first, the registrable securities of Existing Holders required to be included in such registration pursuant to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) second, the Class A Shares requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the Sellers calculated on the basis of the number of Class A Shares owned by each such Seller that such Seller shall have requested to be included therein to the total number of Class A Shares requested by all such Sellers, (iii) third, any securities Buyer Pubco proposes to sell and (iv) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect.

(iv) Right to Terminate Registration. Buyer Pubco shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it whether or not any Seller has elected to include securities in such registration. In such event, the Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by Buyer Pubco.

(c) Buyer Pubco shall advise Parent and the Sellers as expeditiously as possible and within five (5) Business Days after:

(i) a Resale Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Resale Registration Statement or any post effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(ii) any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Resale Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(iii) the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Resale Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(iv) the receipt by Buyer Pubco of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Class A Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(v) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Resale Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Buyer Pubco shall not, when so advising Parent and the Sellers of such events, provide Parent and the Sellers with any material, non-public information regarding Buyer Pubco other than to the extent that providing notice to Parent and the Sellers of the occurrence of the events listed in (i) through (v) above constitutes material, non-public information regarding Buyer Pubco.

(d) Buyer Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Resale Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

(e) Upon the occurrence of any Suspension Event, except for such times as Buyer Pubco is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Resale Registration Statement as contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable, prepare a post-effective amendment to such Resale Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Class A Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(f) Buyer Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Class A Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which Buyer Pubco Class A Common Shares have been listed.

(g) Buyer Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Sellers to review disclosure regarding the Sellers in the Resale Registration Statement;

(h) Buyer Pubco shall otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by Parent, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Class A Shares; and

(i) Buyer Pubco agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Parent, the Sellers, the officers, directors, employees and agents acting on behalf of the Sellers with respect to the Class A Shares, and each of their respective representatives (each, a “Reg Rights Indemnitee”), from and against any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement) and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) (“Losses”), arising out of or caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement or any related prospectus or free writing prospectus in each case relating to an offering or sale of the Class A Shares (as amended or supplemented if Buyer Pubco shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or arising out of or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such Losses arise out of or are caused by any such untrue statement or omission included or omitted in conformity with information furnished to Buyer Pubco in writing by a Reg Rights Indemnitee or any Person acting on behalf of a Reg Rights Indemnitee expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectuses or free writing prospectuses shall not inure to the benefit of such Reg Rights Indemnitee if the Person asserting any Losses against such Reg Rights Indemnitee purchased Class A Shares and (i) prior to the time of sale of the Class A Shares to such Person (the “Initial Sale Time”) Buyer Pubco shall have notified Parent that the preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus (as it existed prior to the Initial Sale Time) contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) such untrue statement or omission of a material fact was corrected in a preliminary prospectus or, where permitted by law, free writing prospectus and such corrected preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus was provided to the Sellers a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Initial Sale Time such that the corrected preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus could have been provided to such Person prior to the Initial Sale Time, (iii) such corrected preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus (excluding any document then incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference) was not conveyed to such Person at or prior to the Initial Sale Time and (iv) such Losses would not have occurred had the corrected preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus (excluding any document then incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference) been conveyed to such Person as provided for in clause (iii) above.

SECTION 5.22 Financial Statements. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than October 20, 2021, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Buyer, the Audited Financial Statements.

SECTION 5.23 Transition Services Agreement. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Buyer and Parent will meet regularly (but not less frequently than twice each calendar month) in person, by teleconference or by video conference to plan the transition of their respective businesses and review and make necessary adjustments to the services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement. Buyer and Parent acknowledge and agree that the form of the Transition Services Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A was prepared for a non-strategic acquiror, and therefore Buyer and Parent agree to negotiate in good faith (i) to reduce the scope of Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) to reflect Buyer’s existing infrastructure, including commensurate reductions in the cost of such Services to reflect such reduction in scope, and (ii) to reflect any material adjustments proposed to be made to the Business that are likely to affect the Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), especially with regard to any material actions intended to allow the Business to be able to operate independently (e.g., entering into a new software license agreement required by the Business, establishing a new benefits plan for employees of the Business, or implementing an alternative human resource information system for Transferred Employees). If Parent and Buyer are not able to resolve any such reduction in the cost of Services described in the preceding sentence, the dispute shall be referred to the Independent Expert for prompt resolution and conducted in a manner consistent with Section 1.04(b), applied mutatis mutandis. Prior to Closing, each “Service Recipient” under the Transition Services Agreement shall have the right to remove from the Transition Services Agreement any service that it determines, in its sole discretion, it no longer needs.

SECTION 5.24 Real Estate Separation. Each of the parties shall cooperate in good faith to implement the terms and provisions set forth in Section 5.24 of the Parent Disclosure Letter in accordance with the principles and parameters set forth therein. On or before the Closing Date, each of Buyer and Parent shall (and, if applicable, each shall cause its applicable Affiliate party thereto to) execute and deliver each Real Estate Separation Agreement.

SECTION 5.25 Interim Period Investments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 4.01(b)(xx)), Parent agrees to make, or cause to be made, each of the expenditures set forth on Section 5.25 of the Parent Disclosure Letter (the “Interim Period Investments”), in each case, substantially within the timeframes set forth therein; provided that, between the date hereof and the Closing, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Parent in mitigating or reducing the fees, costs and expenses associated with any Interim Period Investment.

SECTION 5.26 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each party hereto shall, at the written request of the other party, execute, or cause its Affiliates to execute, such further documents, and perform, or cause its Affiliates to perform, such further acts, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to give full effect to the allocation of rights, benefits, obligations and liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Transactions.

(c) by Buyer, by written notice to Parent, if Parent shall have breached any of its representations or warranties or failed to perform any of its covenants, agreements or other obligations set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition contained in Section 6.02(a) or Section 6.02(b) and (ii) is incapable of being cured prior to the Outside Date, or if capable of being cured by the Outside Date, Parent shall not have cured such breach or failure to perform within forty-five (45) calendar days following receipt by Parent of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from Buyer stating Buyer’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(c) and the basis for such termination; provided that Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(c) if Buyer is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations hereunder; or

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 8.01 No Survival of Representations and Warranties. The parties hereto, intending to modify any applicable statute of limitations, agree that representations and warranties in this Agreement shall terminate effective as of the Closing and shall not survive the Closing for any purpose, and thereafter there shall be no liability on the part of, nor shall any claim be made by, any party or any of its Affiliates in respect thereof, including any breach thereof, other than, in each case, for Fraud. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) claims for breach of all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed at or prior to Closing (“Pre-Closing Covenants”) shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (provided that if any claim is asserted with respect to a breach of a Pre-Closing Covenant, such claim shall survive until resolved) and (b) all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms contemplate performance thereof following the Closing or otherwise expressly by their terms survive the Closing (“Post-Closing Covenants”) will survive the Closing in accordance with their terms (or, if no term is specified, until fully performed).

SECTION 8.02 Indemnification by Parent. In addition to the indemnification set forth in Section 5.04(n)(ii), Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless, and pay and reimburse, each of Buyer and its Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against and from any and all Damages which any Buyer Indemnitee may incur or suffer to the extent such Damages arise out of, result from or relate to:

(a) any of the Retained Liabilities;

(b) any breach, failure or non-fulfillment of any of Parent’s or its Affiliates’ Pre-Closing Covenants or Post-Closing Covenants;

(d) the Internal Reorganization; and/or

(e) any fees, costs or expenses incurred by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to make or complete any of the Interim Period Investments to the extent any such Interim Period Investments have not been made or completed by Parent or any of its Affiliates as of Closing.

Buyer shall take, and shall cause or direct, as applicable, the other Buyer Indemnitees to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate to the extent required by applicable Law any Damages arising from, resulting from or related to the matters set forth in the foregoing clauses (a), (b) or (c).

SECTION 8.03 Indemnification by Buyer. In addition to the indemnification set forth in Section 5.03(a), Section 5.04(f)(ii), Section 5.04(g)(iv) and Section 5.04(n)(i), Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent, each other Seller and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against and from any and all Damages which any Seller Indemnitee may incur or suffer to the extent such Damages arise out of or result from any of the Assumed Liabilities or any breach, failure or non-fulfillment of any of Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ Pre-Closing Covenants or Post-Closing Covenants. Seller shall take, and shall cause or direct, as applicable, the other Seller Indemnitees to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate to the extent required by applicable Law any Damages arising from, resulting from or relating thereto.

SECTION 8.04 Claims. Any Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee claiming it may be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to Parent or Buyer, respectively (the “Indemnifying Party”), of each matter, action, cause of action, claim, demand, fact or other circumstances upon which a claim for indemnification (a “Claim”) hereunder may be based. Such notice shall contain, with respect to each Claim, such facts and information as are then reasonably available, including the estimated amount of Damages (to the extent estimable at such time) and the basis for indemnification hereunder. Failure to give prompt notice of a Claim hereunder shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent (and only to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

SECTION 8.05 Defense of Actions. The Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s option and expense, to assume the complete defense of any Claim based on any Action by any third party with full authority to conduct such defense and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same and the Indemnified Party will fully cooperate in such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party provides written notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such claim within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice of such Claim from the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.04; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim if (i) the Claim relates to any criminal or quasi-criminal matter or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief that the Indemnified Party reasonable determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages, provided that if any portion of the claim can be so separated from the related claim for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages, or (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, after conferring with its outside counsel, that an actual or potential conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make separate representation advisable, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Claim involving a warranty or a commercial relationship between the third party involved in such Action or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, on the other hand; and, provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party will not, in the defense of any such Action, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), consent to the entry of any Order or enter into any settlement (a) which provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages or (b) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the third-party claimant to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect thereof. After notice to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of such Action, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Party only for such legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof at the request of the Indemnifying Party (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Indemnifying Party will be liable to, and will reimburse the Indemnified Party for, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with such claim prior to the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of such Action), (ii) the Indemnified Party may hire separate counsel at its own expense and may participate in the defense of such Action and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably advised of the status of such Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto. As to those third-party Actions with respect to which the Indemnifying Party does not elect, or is not entitled, to assume control of the defense, the Indemnified Party will afford the Indemnifying Party an opportunity to participate in such defense, at its own cost and expense, and will consult with the Indemnifying Party prior to settling or otherwise disposing of any of the same. The Indemnified Party will not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 5.14(c), and not this Section 8.05, shall govern the control and conduct of Tax Proceedings with respect to the Business and the Business Companies.

SECTION 8.06 Exclusivity, No Duplicate Recovery. Following the Closing, this Article VIII and Section 5.03(a), Section 5.04(f)(ii), Section 5.04(g)(iv) and Section 5.04(m) provide the exclusive means by which a party hereto may assert and remedy claims of any nature whatsoever relating to the Transactions (other than disputes related to any adjustments pursuant to Section 1.04, which shall be governed by the terms of Section 1.04); provided, however, that the foregoing in this Section 8.06 shall not preclude any party from seeking (a) any relief other than

monetary damages (including injunctive relief or specific performance) when such relief is otherwise available under this Agreement or applicable Law, (b) any remedy under any Transaction Document (other than this Agreement) or the Confidentiality Agreement or (c) any claim in respect of Fraud. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (a) in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII with respect to any matter to the extent that such matter was reflected in the calculation of an adjustment pursuant to Section 1.04 or a payment under Section 1.05 and (b) in no event shall Parent be required to indemnify a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to Section 8.02 with respect to an amount of Taxes that (A) it has already paid to the Buyer pursuant to Section 5.14(a) or (B) subject to Parent’s and its Affiliates compliance with Section 5.14(f)(ii), arises out of the breach by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (for this purpose, including any Business Company after Closing) of the covenant (with respect to actions within the control of Buyer) in Section 5.14(f)(ii).

SECTION 8.07 Calculation of Damages. Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, in any case where the Indemnified Party subsequently actually recovers from third parties any amount (excluding any amount obtained in respect of any Tax Benefit) in respect of a matter with respect to which the Indemnifying Party has indemnified the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the costs, Taxes or other expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of any amount previously so paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter. The computation of the amount of any indemnity payment required to be made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be reduced by the amount of the Tax Benefit, if any, actually realized by the Indemnified Party as a result of incurring the liability at issue in the taxable period during which such liability is incurred or in the subsequent two (2) taxable periods, provided that, if such Tax Benefit is actually realized after the applicable indemnity payment is made pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

SECTION 8.08 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. For Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law, any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the consideration payable in respect of the Transferred Company with respect to which the Damages, Retained Liabilities or Taxes that gave rise to the indemnity payment relates.

The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such Action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any Action against any Debt Financing Source related to or arising out of the Debt Financing, the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof in any forum other than a court of competent jurisdiction located within the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York, whether a state or Federal court.

SECTION 9.13 No Recourse Against Nonparty Affiliates. Claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), may be made only against (and are those solely of) the entities that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement or the other applicable Transaction Document (“Contracting Parties”) and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein (with respect to the parties to this Agreement) or therein (with respect to the parties to such other Transaction Document). No Person who is not a Contracting Party with respect to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, as applicable, including any member, limited or general partner, unitholder, stockholder or Representative of any Contracting Party who is not itself a Contracting Party (“Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or

105

liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or such other Transaction Document, as applicable, or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document, as applicable, or its negotiation, execution, performance or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands or causes of action that may otherwise be available in law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization or otherwise and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

SECTION 9.14 Release. Effective as of the Closing, each of Parent and Buyer, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and each of their current and former members, limited or general partners, unitholders, stockholders and Representatives hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the other party and its respective Affiliates, and their respective former, current and future members, limited or general partners, unitholders, stockholders or Representatives (including, in the case of Buyer, each current and former director, manager or officer of any Business Company), from any and all claims, causes of action, suits, proceedings, or liabilities whatsoever, whether in law or in equity or granted by statute, arising out of, or relating to, or accruing from (a) the organization, management or operation of the Business or the Business Companies or their relationship with the Business Companies, in each case relating to any matter, occurrence, action or activity on or prior to the Closing, (b) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or (c) any information (whether written or oral), documents or materials furnished in connection with the Transactions; provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall release, waive, discharge, relinquish or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any Person (i) for claims involving Fraud, (ii) with respect to claims against a party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in regards to covenants or agreements contained herein or therein that by their terms contemplate performance following the Closing or any other provision herein or therein that otherwise survive the Closing (including any rights to indemnification under Article VIII hereof) or (iii) with respect to claims against any directors, managers or officers of any Business Company concerning any violations of Law or willful misconduct or any counterclaims against such Person in respect of any requests for indemnification by such Person.

SECTION 9.15 No Other Duties. The only duties and obligations of the parties under this Agreement are as specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no other duties or obligations shall be implied in fact, law or equity, or under any principle of fiduciary obligation.

SECTION 9.16 Legal Representation. (a) Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that (i) Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, LLP, (ii) Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, (iii) Xxxxxx Xxxxx and (iv) Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP (collectively, “Existing Counsel”) may have acted as counsel for Parent, any of the other Sellers or the Business Companies and/or their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (the “Acquisition Engagement”).

106

(b) Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that all confidential communications between Parent, any of the other Sellers or the Business Companies and/or their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Existing Counsel, on the other hand, in the course of the Acquisition Engagement, and any attendant attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection and expectation of client confidentiality applicable thereto, shall be deemed to belong solely to Parent, and shall not pass to or be claimed, held or used by Buyer or the Business Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries after the Closing. Accordingly, Buyer shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Existing Counsel relating to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, (i) to the extent that files of Existing Counsel in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Business Companies) shall hold such property rights, and (ii) Existing Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to Buyer or the Business Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Existing Counsel and Parent or otherwise. If and to the extent that, at any time after the Closing, Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Business Companies) shall have the right to assert or waive any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between Parent, any of the other Sellers or the Business Companies or any of their respective Affiliates and Existing Counsel that occurred at any time prior to the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Business Companies or any of their Subsidiaries), shall be entitled to waive such privilege only with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(c) Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that Existing Counsel may continue to represent Parent or its Affiliates in future matters. Accordingly, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Business Companies and any of their Subsidiaries), expressly: (i) consents to Existing Counsel’s representation of Parent or any of its Affiliates in any matter, including any post-Closing matter in which the interests of Buyer or the Business Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent or its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse, including any matter relating to the Transactions, and whether or not such matter is one in which Existing Counsel may have previously advised Parent or its Affiliates; and (ii) consents to the disclosure by Existing Counsel to Parent or its Affiliates of any information learned by Existing Counsel in the course of its representation of Parent, any of the other Sellers or the Business Companies and/or their respective Affiliates, whether or not such information is subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or Existing Counsel’s duty of confidentiality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Closing, (i) neither Parent nor its Affiliates shall reveal or disclose any attorney-client communications or files or waive any attorney-client privilege between Existing Counsel and the Business Companies or attorney-client privilege that otherwise would have been held by the Business Companies other than in connection with the enforcement or defense of Parent’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and (ii) in the event of a dispute between Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Business Companies), on the one hand, and a Person other than Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand, Buyer may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of such communications or files by Existing Counsel, Parent and its Affiliates to such Person; provided, however, that Buyer may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Parent.

107

(d) After the Closing, the Business Companies and their Subsidiaries shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with Existing Counsel, unless and to the extent Existing Counsel is specifically engaged in writing by Buyer, any Business Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to represent such company after the Closing. Any such representation by Existing Counsel after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.

(e) Buyer and Parent consent to the arrangements in this Section 9.16 and agree to take, and to cause their Affiliates to take, steps reasonably necessary to implement the intent of this Section 9.16 and not to take or cause their Affiliates to take positions contrary to the intent of this Section 9.16. Buyer and Parent further agree that each Existing Counsel is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 9.16.

SECTION 9.17 Obligations of Parent. Whenever this Agreement requires the Sellers or the Business Companies to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause the Sellers or the Business Companies to take such action.

SECTION 9.18 Buyer Pubco Guarantee.

(a) Buyer Pubco hereby fully guarantees the due, prompt and full performance, payment and discharge when due of all of the covenants, obligations, agreements and undertakings, including any payment obligations, of Buyer under this Agreement (such obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Whenever this Agreement requires Buyer to take any action or refrain from taking any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Buyer Pubco to cause Buyer to take such action or refrain from taking such action. The Guaranteed Obligations are primary, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and such obligations shall continue in full force and effect until the payment and performance, as applicable, of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and are not conditioned upon any event or contingency or upon any attempt first to obtain payment from Buyer under this Agreement, or pursuit of any other right or remedy against Buyer through the commencement of an Action or otherwise.

(b) With respect to its obligations hereunder, Buyer Pubco expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Seller, and all suretyship defenses generally.

(c) Buyer Pubco acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 9.18 shall continue not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure or delay on the part of Parent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Buyer; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this

108

Agreement (other than this Section 9.18, as applicable); (iii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Buyer; (iv) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Buyer; (v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which Buyer Pubco may have at any time against Parent or any Sellers, whether in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise; or (vi) the adequacy of any means Parent may have of obtaining payment or performance related to the Guaranteed Obligations.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer Pubco’s obligations under this Section 9.18 shall terminate immediately (i) upon the Closing and (ii) with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation, upon the discharge in full of such Guaranteed Obligation.

(e) Buyer Pubco (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business in all material respects as it is now being conducted and (iii) is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign company and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such concept) in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer Pubco of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions are within the corporate powers of Buyer Pubco and have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Buyer Pubco. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Buyer Pubco and (assuming the due and valid execution and delivery of this Agreement by the other parties hereto) constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Buyer Pubco, enforceable against Buyer Pubco in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions. Buyer Pubco hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that (i) it has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the obligations set forth in this Section 9.18 and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of Buyer Pubco’s organizational documents or any applicable Laws binding on Buyer Pubco or its assets; and (ii) all consents necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Buyer Pubco (other than those contemplated by Section 3.04(b)) have been obtained and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Section 9.18. This Section 9.18 shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Buyer Pubco and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer and its successors and assigns. In the event that Buyer Pubco or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Buyer Pubco shall cause such Person to assume the obligations set forth in this Section 9.18, including by operation of law.
