Following the delivery of the Closing Statement until the Review End Date, Purchaser shall provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable access to the Business Records and relevant personnel and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries to permit Seller to the extent reasonably required to review the Closing Statement and Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses and the Final Closing Date Amount set forth therein provided, however, that such access and cooperation shall be in a manner that does not materially interfere with the normal business operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the forty-fifth (45th) calendar day following receipt thereof by Seller (the “Review End Date”) unless Seller gives written notice of its disagreement with the Closing Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Purchaser prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted. Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with, and not objected to, all items set forth in the Closing Statement to the extent not specifically disputed in the Notice of Disagreement. If a timely Notice of Disagreement is received by Purchaser, 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 Purchaser and Seller 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, Purchaser and Seller 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. At the end of such thirty (30) calendar day period, Purchaser and Seller shall submit to the Independent Expert for review any and all matters that remain in dispute and were included in the Notice of Disagreement. 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 45 calendar days after the date of such submission. Each party shall furnish to each other and to the Independent Expert such working papers and other relevant documents and information relating to the disputed items as may reasonably be required by the Independent Expert to make its determination in no event more than fifteen (15) calendar days following the date on which the disagreement is referred to the Independent Expert, 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. The terms of appointment and engagement of the Independent Expert shall be as agreed upon between the parties 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), (iii) shall make its determination based solely on supporting material provided by the parties pursuant to Section 1.04(b) and not pursuant to any independent review and (iv) 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 the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.06 or any other representation or warranty in this Agreement or (C) 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 Closing Date Amount, (iii) include the Independent Expert’s determination of each matter submitted to it pursuant to Section 1.04(b) and (iv) include a brief summary of the Independent Expert’s reasons for its determination of each issue.

(e)The resolution of disputed items by the Independent Expert shall be final and binding 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 by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Independent Expert.

(f)Within five Business Days after the Closing Statement becomes final and binding upon the parties pursuant to Section 1.04(b) or Section 1.04(e), as applicable:

(i)If the Final Closing Date Amount is less than the Initial Closing Date Amount (the “Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount”), then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a payment in cash out of the Adjustment Escrow Account in an amount equal to the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, and Purchaser and Seller shall deliver a Joint Direction instructing the Escrow Agent to make a payment to Purchaser in an amount equal to the lesser of the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount and the amount in the Adjustment Escrow Account. If the amount in the Adjustment Escrow Account exceeds the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, then Purchaser and Seller shall deliver a Joint Direction instructing the Escrow Agent to make a payment equal to such excess to Seller out of the Adjustment Escrow Account. If the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount exceeds the amount in the Adjustment Escrow Account, then Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Purchaser the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Purchaser.

(ii)If the Final Closing Date Amount exceeds the Initial Closing Date Amount, Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Seller. In addition, Seller will be entitled to receive the remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account, and Purchaser and Seller shall deliver a Joint Direction instructing the Escrow Agent to make payment equal to such remaining balance to Seller out of the Adjustment Escrow Account.

(g)Any payment made under this Section 1.04 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for U.S. federal and applicable state and local Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Purchaser, Seller, the Escrow Agent, the Company and their respective affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amount otherwise payable to any person pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document such amounts as they are required to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law; provided that, absent a change in applicable Law after the date of this Agreement, no amounts shall be withheld under Section 1445 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to any amounts payable to Seller under this Agreement in respect of the purchase and sale of the Shares if Seller delivers the forms described under Section 6.13(d) at or no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing; provided further that except with respect to a failure to deliver the forms described under Section 6.13(d) or any amounts treated as wages or compensation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller with a schedule of expected withholding amounts with respect to payments to be made to Seller at Closing

no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and are timely remitted to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, as applicable, as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

. As of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser has delivered to Seller true, correct, and complete copies of an executed equity commitment letter from the Equity Investor, dated as of the date hereof (the “Equity Commitment Letter”, and the commitments thereunder, the “Equity Financing Commitments”) pursuant to which Equity Investors have, subject to the terms and conditions therein, severally, but not jointly, committed to provide Purchaser (directly or indirectly) with cash up to the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”) which, following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in Article VII, shall, together with any Closing Cash, be sufficient for the satisfaction of Purchaser's payment obligations under this Agreement on the Closing Date, including the payment of the Initial Closing Date Amount, and the payment of all associated costs and expenses (including the Transaction Expenses and any such costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser and related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) (such cash amount, “Required Amounts”).

immediately prior to the Closing, that the Financial Statements and financial projections made available to Purchaser have been prepared in good faith based on assumptions that continue to be reasonable and that the conditions to Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the Transactions have been satisfied, at the Closing and immediately after the Closing, Purchaser and its subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis, taken as a whole) will be Solvent immediately after the completion of the Closing.

For purposes of this definition, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which they are engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay their liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such person and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet their obligations as they become due.

Section 4.07Litigation

. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no Action pending or threatened in writing against Purchaser before or by any Governmental Entity that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, nor are there any Judgments outstanding against Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Article VI
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 6.01Access to Information; Preservation of Pre-Closing Seller Business Records

(a)Subject to applicable Law and any applicable Order, between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, upon reasonable notice, Parent, Seller and its subsidiaries (including the Company and its subsidiaries) shall afford to Purchaser and its representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the officers, employees, agents, properties, books, Contracts and records (other than any of the foregoing that relate to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any proposals from other parties relating to any competing or alternative transactions) of the Company and the Business or of Parent and its affiliates that primarily relate to the Business and shall furnish promptly to Purchaser and its representatives such information concerning the Company and the Business as Purchaser may reasonably request; provided that Purchaser and its representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of Seller or any of its subsidiaries; provided, further, however, that neither Seller nor any of its subsidiaries shall be obligated to provide such access or information if Seller determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so would reasonably be expected to (i) result in the disclosure of trade secrets or competitively

sensitive information to third parties, (ii) violate applicable Law, an applicable Order or a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party, (iii) cause the loss of protection of an attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or other legal privilege, (iv) be adverse to the interests of such person in any pending Action, or (v) can be expected to expose such person to risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information; provided that, in the case of clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) above, the parties shall reasonably cooperate in seeking an alternative means whereby Purchaser is provided access to such information in a manner that does not jeopardize such privilege, protection or confidentiality obligation or limits such exposure. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall be directed to the person designated by Seller. Until the Closing, all information provided will be subject to the terms of the letter agreement dated as of February 18, 2021, by and between Parent and Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). On the Closing Date, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate automatically and be of no further force or effect. After the Closing, Parent shall not, and shall cause its affiliates and Representatives not to, disclose to any person, any Confidential Information, except to the extent required by applicable Law and except that the parties may disclose such terms to their respective Representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses (so long as such persons agree to or are bound by contract to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential). “Confidential Information” means all information and data relating to the Company or its subsidiaries, the Business and this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Intellectual Property, customer and supplier lists, pricing information, marketing plans, market studies, client development plans, business acquisition plans and all other information or data), or the transactions contemplated hereby, except for data or information that (A) is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of the Confidentiality Agreement or this Section 6.01, (B) is lawfully received or obtained after the Closing from a third person who was not prohibited by Law or Contract from disclosing it without an obligation of confidentiality, or (C) is developed by Parent (or its affiliates or Representatives) without reference to the Confidential Information.

(b)For a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date or such longer time as may be required by applicable Law, Parent and Seller shall not, and each shall cause their respective controlled affiliates not to, dispose of or destroy any of the material properties, books, Contracts and records of the Company or the Business existing on the Closing Date that are held or controlled by Parent, Seller or either of their affiliates relating to periods prior to the Closing (such materials, the “Pre-Closing Seller Business Records”) without first offering to turn over possession thereof to the Company by written notice to the Company at least 60 days prior to the proposed date of such disposition or destruction.

(c)For a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date or such longer time as may be required by applicable Law, Parent and Seller shall, and shall cause each of their controlled affiliates to, at Purchaser’s reasonable request and at Purchaser’s sole expense, (i) provide Purchaser and its Representatives with electronic access to any portions of the Pre-Closing Seller Business Records that are available in electronic format, (ii) allow Purchaser and its Representatives access to all other Pre-Closing Seller Business Records on reasonable notice and at reasonable times at Parent’s principal place of business or at any location where any Pre-Closing Seller Business Records are stored, and permit Purchaser and its Representatives to make copies of any Pre-Closing Seller Business Records, (iii) make available Parent’s or its subsidiaries’ personnel to assist in locating such Pre-Closing Seller Business Records and (iv) make available

Parent’s or its subsidiaries’ personnel whose assistance or participation is reasonably required by Purchaser or its Representatives in anticipation of, or preparation for, existing or future Action or investigation from a Governmental Entity, in each case only (A) to the extent necessary for Purchaser or its affiliates to comply with applicable Law or comply with an audit or investigation from a Governmental Entity, (B) in connection with an Action brought by a third party against Purchaser or any of its affiliates or (C) to the extent related to the preparation of financial statements or U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings or reporting obligations; provided that Purchaser shall conduct any such activities in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of Parent and its affiliates; provided further that Parent and its subsidiaries shall not be required to disclose any information if Purchaser or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties in an Action and such information is reasonably pertinent thereto or if disclosing such information would violate applicable Law, any Order, or any confidentiality obligations. To the extent any Pre-Closing Seller Business Record includes information that does not relate to the Business, Parent and Seller may redact such portions of such Pre-Closing Seller Business Record prior to providing access thereto. The parties acknowledge and agree that any access to information related to the Tax matters of the Company and the subsidiaries are governed under Section 6.13(c).

Section 6.02Reasonable Best Efforts

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the Transactions in the most expeditious manner practicable (and in any event prior to the Outside Date), including (i) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable with any Governmental Entity or other third party all documentation to effect all necessary filings, consents, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents, (ii) obtaining and maintaining all approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations required to be obtained from any Governmental Entity or other third party that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions, and (iii) using reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII to be satisfied.

(b)In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Purchaser and Parent shall make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof and will supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by any Governmental Entity pursuant to the HSR Act and will use their reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable. Purchaser will pay all filing fees under the HSR Act. Neither Purchaser nor Parent will, and each party will cause their respective subsidiaries not to, take any action that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the approval of any Governmental Entity of any of the aforementioned filings. Neither party will extend directly or indirectly any waiting period under the HSR Act (including by withdrawing and refiling any filing pursuant to the HSR Act) or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Entity to delay or not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c)Each party shall promptly notify the other parties hereto of any oral or written substantive communication it receives from any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of Section 6.02, and provide each other with advance copies and a reasonable opportunity to comment on all material proposed notices, submissions, filings, applications, undertakings, and information and correspondence proposed to be supplied to or filed with any Governmental Entity, except the parties’ HSR Act filings subject to appropriate limitations on the exchange of competitively sensitive information consistent with Antitrust Laws. Each party to this Agreement shall provide the other, to the extent reasonably practicable, a reasonable opportunity to attend and participate in any substantive meetings, discussions, telephone conversations, or video conferences; provided that that materials required to be provided pursuant to this section may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company or Parent, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, (iii) as necessary to comply with applicable Law, and (iv) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns; provided further, that a party may reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to another party under this Section 6.02(c) as “Outside Counsel Only”. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and to appropriate limitations on the exchange of competitively sensitive information consistent with Antitrust Laws, the parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties hereto may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting period.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser agrees, and agrees to cause its subsidiaries, to take any and all steps, and to make any and all undertakings, necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions so as to enable the consummation of the Transactions to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event, no later than the Outside Date), including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, licensing or disposition of such assets or businesses of Purchaser or its subsidiaries (including the assets or businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries) or otherwise taking or committing to take actions that limit Purchaser’s or its subsidiaries’ freedom of action with respect to, or their ability to retain or operate, any of the businesses, product lines or assets of Purchaser or its subsidiaries, in each case, as may be required in order to avoid the adoption or entry of, or to effect the dissolution or lifting of, any Judgment, or other Order in any Action, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the consummation of the Transactions. Further, and for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser will, and will cause its subsidiaries to, take any and all actions necessary in order to ensure that no (i) requirement for any non-action, consent or approval of the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice or other Governmental Entity, (ii) Judgment or any other Order in any Action, or (iii) other matter relating to any antitrust or competition law would preclude the Closing by the Outside Date.

(e)In the event any Action by any Governmental Entity or other Person is commenced which questions the validity or legality of the Transactions under Antitrust Laws, the parties agree to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to defend against such Action and, if any Judgment or other Order is issued in any such Action, to use reasonable best efforts to have such Judgment or other Order vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned and to cooperate reasonably regarding any other impediment to the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 6.03Notification

. Parent, Seller and the Company shall give prompt notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Parent, Seller and the Company, of (a) the breach or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty 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 Article VII or (b) the failure by it to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement and (ii) 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 7.02 or Section 7.03, as applicable, to be satisfied.

Section 6.04Public Announcements

. The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Transactions following the execution of this Agreement shall be prepared by Parent and Parent shall provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such release. The parties shall not issue any subsequent press release or make any other public statements with respect to the Transactions without the consent of Purchaser or Parent, as applicable, except as may be required by applicable Law or Order or stock exchange rules; 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 not deviate from the initial press release (unless the event pursuant to which the disclosure obligation arises is not referenced in the initial press release) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other party before doing so. Notwithstanding the forgoing, this Section 6.04 shall not apply to any press release or other public statement made by any of the parties that (a) does not contain any information relating to Purchaser, Seller, the Company, or the Business that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (b) is made in the ordinary course of business and does not relate specifically to this Agreement or the Transactions and does not contain any confidential information with respect to the Transactions, including the price or other terms herein or (c) in the case of Purchaser and its affiliates, any communication to limited partners or prospective limited partners of any affiliates of Purchaser.

Section 6.05Employee Benefit Matters

(a)During the one-year period following the Closing Date (or if shorter, the period of employment of the relevant Transferred Employee), Purchaser shall provide, or cause one of its affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its subsidiaries) to provide, (i) to each Transferred Employee, base salary or wage rates and short-term cash target bonus opportunities, that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than those provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) to the Transferred Employees as a group, employee benefits (other than defined benefit pension, nonqualified deferred compensation, retention, change in control, equity or equity-based, and post-termination or retiree health or welfare benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those employee benefits (other than defined benefit pension, nonqualified deferred compensation, retention, change in control, equity or equity-based, and post-termination or retiree health or welfare benefits) provided to either (in Purchaser’s discretion) (x) similarly situated employees of Purchaser or (y) the Transferred Employees under the Company Plans listed on Section 3.10(a) of the Disclosure Letter as of the date hereof, or (z) some combination or (x) and (y).

(b)Purchaser shall provide, or cause one of its affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its subsidiaries) to provide, each Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser or one of its affiliates without “cause” during the one-year period following the Closing Date with the cash severance pay consistent with those provided to either (in Purchaser’s discretion) (x) Purchaser’s similarly situated employees or (y) the Transferred Employees under the Company Plans listed on Section 3.10(a) of the Disclosure Letter as of the date hereof, or (z) some combination or (x) and (y).

(c)With respect to any and all employee benefit plans, programs or policies maintained by Purchaser or any of its respective subsidiaries (including any vacation, paid time-off plans, but excluding any plans, programs or policies providing for defined benefit pension, equity or equity-based, nonqualified deferred compensation, or post-termination or retiree health or welfare benefits) in which the Transferred Employees are permitted to participate during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, level of vacation benefits, and vesting, each Transferred Employee’s service with Parent or any of its subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of Parent or any of its subsidiaries) shall be treated as service with Purchaser or its subsidiaries to the same extent and for the same purpose as such service was (or, if such Transferred Employee had elected to enroll in a given plan, would have been) recognized under the analogous Benefit Plans as of the Closing; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits or compensation for the same period of service.

(d)Commencing no later than the date hereof, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to establish “mirrored” health and welfare benefit plans and payroll contracts (and related administrative systems) that are (i) sponsored and maintained by, and specific to, the Company and its employees, and (ii) substantially identical to (x) those Seller Plans that are health and welfare benefit plans currently made available to the Transferred Employees of as of the date hereof and (y) the payroll contracts and administrative systems currently applicable to the Company (such plans and contracts the “Mirrored Plans and Contracts”) prior to the Closing Date. In the event that Parent is unable to establish such Mirrored Plans and Contracts at the Company as of the Closing Date, (A) Parent shall allow the Transferred Employees to continue active participation in those Seller Plans that are health and welfare plans on the same terms and conditions as in effect as of the date hereof as provided for in the Transition Services Agreement, and (B) upon the establishment of the Mirrored Plans and Contracts, if such establishment has occurred prior to September 30, 2021, Parent shall transfer the sponsorship of the Mirrored Plans and Contracts to the Company (or, at the direction of the Company, an affiliate thereof), and the Company (or such affiliate) shall be obligated to accept such transfer. With respect to those Business Employees who (A) are or will be on short-term disability or long-term disability either as of the Closing or the end of the applicable service period set forth in the Transition Services Agreement or (B) are or will be on workers’ compensation leave as of the Closing (together, the “Inactive Employees”), Parent shall provide that all such Inactive Employees will continue to be covered under that Seller Plan providing for disability, in the event that Purchaser is unable to provide such disability coverage to such Inactive Employee under its Plans and such Inactive Employee has elected disability coverage under the Seller Plans, and workers’ compensation benefits. To the extent necessary to provide for such continued coverage under the Seller Plans and insurance policies providing for disability and workers’ compensation benefits, Parent shall cause Seller or one of its affiliates (other than the Company or its subsidiaries) to transfer the

employment of such Inactive Employees to Seller or one of its non-Company affiliates and to be solely responsible for the provision of benefits and compensation to and all other liabilities incurred with respect to such Inactive Employees, provided, however, that Purchaser shall (i) reimburse Parent for the costs of providing benefits and compensation to such Inactive Employees and (ii) cause the Company or one of its subsidiaries to offer employment to any such Inactive Employee upon the later of (x) when such employee is able to commence employment with the Company within a six (6)_month period immediately following the Closing Date or end of the applicable service period set forth in the Transition Services Agreement or (y) such later date as may be required by applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, no Inactive Employee shall constitute a Transferred Employee for purposes of this Agreement unless and until such time that such Inactive Employee is able to and does commence employment with Purchaser or one of its affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company and its subsidiaries).

(e)Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have taken all actions necessary to cause active participation in any Company Plan by any person that is not a Transferred Employee (or eligible dependent thereof) to cease. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Company shall retain the sponsorship of and be solely responsible for all liabilities and obligations relating to or any time arising under or with respect to, to the extent in effect as of the Closing Date, the Mirrored Plans and Contracts, including, for the avoidance of doubt the sole responsibility for complying with the requirements of Section 4980B of the Code with respect to any “M&A qualified beneficiary” as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9. In the event that Seller is unable to establish the Mirrored Plans and Contracts at the Company as of the Closing Date, then effective as of the date of transfer of the Mirrored Plans and Contracts, the Company shall acquire the sponsorship of and be solely responsible for all liabilities and obligations relating to or any time arising under or with respect to the Mirrored Plans and Contracts, including, for the avoidance of doubt the sole responsibility for complying with the requirements of Section 4980B of the Code with respect to any “M&A qualified beneficiary” as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9. Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller and Parent shall retain the sponsorship of and be solely responsible for all liabilities and obligations relating to or at any time arising under or in connection with or pursuant to any Seller Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, contract or arrangement at any time sponsored, maintained, or contributed to by Seller, Parent or any of their affiliates (including the Company or any of its subsidiaries) or otherwise with respect to which Seller, Parent or any affiliate thereof (including the Company or any of its subsidiaries) has any current or contingent liability or obligation, including, for the avoidance of doubt the sole responsibility for complying with the requirements of Section 4980B of the Code with respect to any “M&A qualified beneficiary” as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, but other than with respect to, if applicable, the Mirrored Plans and Contracts.

(f)At the written request of Purchaser provided no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date cease contributions to and, adopt written resolutions to terminate the L.A.R.K. Industries, Inc. Employee Savings Trust (the “Company 401(k) Plan”), and to one hundred percent (100%) vest all participants under the Company 401(k) Plan, such termination and vesting to be effective no later than the Business Day preceding the Closing Date. Prior to the execution of such resolutions, Seller shall provide unexecuted draft versions of such documents to Purchaser for purchaser’s review and consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(g)No provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document shall create any right in any employee or other person to employment or service or continued employment or service (or any particular term or condition of employment or service) by Seller, or Purchaser or any of its affiliates (including the Company and its subsidiaries), or preclude the ability of Seller, Purchaser or any of their affiliates (including the Company and its subsidiaries) to following the Closing modify or terminate the employment or service of any employee or other person at any time for any or no reason. This Section 6.05 shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.05, express or implied, (i) is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever (including any third party beneficiary rights or remedies) under or by reason of this Section 6.05, (ii) is intended to be, shall constitute or be construed as the establishment of, an amendment to, termination of, or modification of any Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, arrangement or policy of Seller or Purchaser or any of their affiliates (including the Company and its subsidiaries), or (iii) shall limit or prohibit the ability of Purchaser or any of its affiliates (including following the Closing the Company and its subsidiaries) from establishing, amending, modifying or terminating benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, or arrangement at any time established, sponsored, maintained, or assumed by any of them. No Transferred Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) or any other employee or service provider shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.05, and this Section 6.05 shall not create such rights in any such person.

(h)As a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, during the twenty four (24) months following the Closing, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, neither Parent nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall directly or indirectly solicit any Transferred Employee; provided that Parent and its subsidiaries and affiliates shall not be precluded from (i) engaging in general solicitations or advertising not targeted at Transferred Employees or (ii) soliciting Transferred Employees whose employment has been terminated by Purchaser at least six (6) months prior to any such solicitation.

(i)To the extent applicable, prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take any actions necessary to submit for the approval of the stockholders of Seller in a manner that satisfies Sections 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) and 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the final Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, the right of each “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) (each, a “Disqualified Individual”) to receive or retain, as applicable, that portion of any payments and benefits that, together with any other payments and benefits such Disqualified Individual may become entitled to receive or retain that may be considered “parachute payments” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, exceeds 299% of such Disqualified Individual’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) (the “Waived 280G Benefits”), after using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each such Disqualified Individual a waiver of such Disqualified Individual’s rights to such Waived 280G Benefits. To the extent required to comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence, Seller shall deliver, among other items, to its stockholders a disclosure statement intended to satisfy the stockholder approval requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code. No later than three days prior to soliciting such waivers and approval, Seller shall provide drafts of such waivers and approval materials (including supporting calculations and analyses) to Purchaser for its reasonable review and comment, and Seller shall consider in good faith any

changes reasonably requested by Purchaser. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser evidence reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that such approval was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.05(i) and that either (i) the requisite number of votes was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits (the “280G Approval”) or (ii) the 280G Approval was not obtained and, as a consequence, the Waived 280G Benefits shall not be made, retained or provided.

Section 6.06Fees and Expenses; Indebtedness

(a)Except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and the consummation of the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses. If any party thereto brings an action to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action.

(b)To the extent that any Transaction Expenses constitute Change of Control Payments payable to the Business Employees, Purchaser shall cause the Company or a subsidiary thereof to make payment of such expenses to such employees through payroll of the Company or the applicable subsidiary (net of any required withholding) at or as soon as practicable after the Closing, by no later than the second regularly scheduled payroll date after the Closing.

(c)The Company shall, and Parent and Seller shall cause the Company to, (i) pay and discharge in full, on or prior to the Closing, all Indebtedness for borrowed money and (ii) make arrangements for the release at Closing of all Liens on assets or properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries securing any Indebtedness for borrowed money.

Section 6.07Certain Pre-Closing Actions

(a)Except as set forth on Section 6.07(a) of the Disclosure Letter, prior to the Closing, if requested by Purchaser and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent and Seller shall take or cause to be taken such actions as are necessary or appropriate such that, as of the Closing, to the extent not otherwise provided by or contemplated under the Transition Services Agreement, the assets owned or held by the Company and its subsidiaries constitute all of the Business Assets.

(b)Without limiting Section 6.07(a), Parent shall assign any Intellectual Property that is a Business Asset and owned by Parent, Seller or any affiliate thereof, other than the Company and its subsidiaries (“Transferred IP”) to the Company on or prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.08Further Assurances; Wrong Pockets; Post-Closing Payments

(a)Subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement, the parties will cooperate reasonably with each other and with their respective representatives in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement, and from time to time, as and when reasonably requested by any party hereto and at such requesting party’s expense, the other party agrees (a) to furnish, or cause to be furnished such further

information, (b) to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to each other such other documents and (c) to do, or cause to be done, such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the conduct by Purchaser of the Business (including with respect to obtaining and maintaining all licenses, permits, authorizations, accreditations, and consents necessary or desirable in connection therewith), the preservation or perfection by the Purchaser of its rights in the Business Assets and its ability to conduct the Business.

(b)Except as set forth on Section 6.08(b) of the Disclosure Letter, if, between the Closing and the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing, either Purchaser, Parent or Seller (or any of their respective affiliates) identifies any Business Asset that was not previously transferred by Seller to Purchaser and was not provided to Purchaser pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, then Parent and Seller shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all reasonable further documents in order to transfer to Purchaser or its affiliate any such Business Asset. Until such time that the Parent, Seller or current or future affiliates thereof transfers such Business Asset to Purchaser in accordance with this Section 6.08(b), Parent, Seller, on behalf of themselves and their current or future affiliates, hereby grants to Purchaser and its affiliates a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable and transferable right and license (or sub-license, as the case may be) to fully use, practice and otherwise exploit such Business Asset, effective as of the Closing Date.

(h)Indemnity for Taxes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller and Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its affiliates with respect to any Losses resulting from (i) all Taxes for which the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or any predecessors thereof) is liable as a result of being a member of any combined, consolidated or unitary group for applicable Tax purposes on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local or non-U.S. Law or regulation or (ii) all Taxes of any person (other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries) imposed on the Company or any of its subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing.

Parent shall, at its expense, control the conduct and defense of any such Consolidated Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that (i) Parent shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed regarding the status of such Consolidated Tax Proceeding as it relates to the Company and any of its subsidiaries, (ii) Parent shall act in good faith in conducting and contesting such Consolidated Tax Proceeding with the relevant Taxing Authority, (iii) Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in the conduct of such Consolidated Tax Proceeding as it relates to the Company or any of its subsidiaries at Purchaser’s sole expense, including by participating in any meetings and teleconferences in connection therewith and (iv) Parent shall not settle, compromise or resolve any portion of such Consolidated Tax Proceeding relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries if such settlement, compromise or resolution would be binding on or create a liability or obligation of the Company and any of its subsidiaries without Purchaser’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(j)Unified Loss Rule Election

. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36 is applicable to Seller or any other member of a combined, consolidated or unitary group that includes Seller or any affiliate thereof with respect to the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, each relevant entity shall make,

or shall cause to be made, a valid and timely election pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(A) and 1.1502-36(e)(5) to reduce the basis in the Shares by the “attribute reduction amount,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d)(3), so as to avoid a reduction to the Company’s Tax “attributes” (as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d)(4)) and shall not make any other election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36.

(k)Certain Refunds. Without duplication of any amounts taken into account in the calculation of Closing Working Capital or Indebtedness, Seller shall be entitled to the amount, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $2,250,000 (the “Refund Cap”), of any U.S. federal income Tax refunds that are actually received by Purchaser, the Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Closing Date and on or before December 31, 2022, as a result of the carryback to a Pre-Closing Tax Period of any U.S. federal net operating loss of the Company generated in its taxable year ending December 31, 2020 pursuant to Code Section 172(b) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-21(b)(2)(i). To the extent that a claim for such refund has not been filed as of the Closing, upon filing of the U.S. consolidated income Tax Return for the taxable year ended December 31, 2020, that includes the Company, Parent and Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser and the Company with any information and/or documentation (including apportionment information) necessary for the Company to file a claim for any refund described in the immediately preceding sentence and reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and the Company in connection therewith, and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the Company shall file a claim for any such refunds (including, if available with respect to such refund claim, by filing IRS Form 1139 or any successor form) in the manner approved by Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to effect the carryback of such net operating loss to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving all such information and/or documentation from Parent and Seller. Purchaser shall control the administration and defense of any such refund claim; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding the status of such refund claim, (ii) Purchaser shall act in good faith in conducting and contesting such refund claim, (iii) Parent shall be entitled to participate in the conduct of such refund claim at its sole expense, including by participating in any meetings and teleconferences in connection therewith and (iv) Purchaser shall not settle, compromise or resolve any portion of such refund claim without Parent’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of any such refund, Purchaser, the Company or the applicable subsidiary, as the case may be, shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Seller the amount of such refund (net of any reasonable and documented costs, expenses or Taxes incurred in connection with obtaining such refund), up to a maximum aggregate amount of the Refund Cap. None of Purchaser, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall make, or cause to be made, any election to waive any carryback period under Code Section 172(b)(3) or any election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-21(b)(3)(ii)(B) or, unless otherwise required under applicable law, take, or fail to take, any action, in each case, that would impair, limit or reduce any available refund claim described in this Section 6.13(k).

Accordingly, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company and its subsidiaries), expressly: (i) consents to Existing Counsel’s representation of Parent, Seller and their respective affiliates in any matter, including any post-Closing matter in which the interests of Purchaser or the Company or their affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent, Seller or their respective affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse, including any matter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and whether or not such matter is one in which Existing Counsel may have previously advised Parent, Seller or their respective affiliates; and (ii) consents to the disclosure by Existing Counsel to Parent, Seller or their respective affiliates of any information learned by Existing Counsel in the course of its representation of Parent, Seller, the Company 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.

(d)Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company and its subsidiaries) further covenants and agrees that each shall not assert any claim, and that it hereby waives any claim, against Existing Counsel in respect of legal services provided to the Company by Existing Counsel to the extent a dispute arises between Purchaser and Parent and/or Seller in connection with the Acquisition Engagement.

(e)Upon and after the Closing, the Company and each of its 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 Purchaser or the Company or any of its subsidiaries to represent the Company or such subsidiary after the Closing. Any such

representation by Existing Counsel after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.

(f)Purchaser and Seller consent to the arrangements in this Section 9.16 and agree to take, and to cause their affiliates to take, all steps 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.
