Article III
STOCK CONSIDERATION ADJUSTMENT

1.9Estimated Stock Consideration. Seller has, in accordance with the accounting methodology attached as Exhibit B (the “Accounting Methodology”), prepared and delivered to

Buyer an estimated closing statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) attached hereto as Schedule 3.1, setting forth good faith estimates of (i) the Net Debt Amount (the “Estimated Net Debt Amount”), (ii) Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (iii) Transaction Costs (the “Estimated Transaction Costs”) and (iv) the Estimated Stock Consideration derived therefrom.

1.10Final Stock Consideration Determination.

(m)Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared, a closing statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the (A) Net Debt Amount, (B) Net Working Capital, (C) Transaction Costs and (D) Buyer’s determination of the Final Stock Consideration derived therefrom, which Final Closing Date Balance Sheet and Final Closing Statement will be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Methodology.

(n)No later than 45 days after the Closing Date, Xxxxx will deliver to Seller the Final Closing Statement. If Xxxxx fails to deliver the Final Closing Statement to Seller in accordance with this Section 3.2(b), then the Estimated Closing Statement will be the “Final Closing Statement.” If within 45 days after the date of the delivery to Seller of the Final Closing Statement, Seller disagrees with any portion of the Final Closing Statement (the disputed items being the “Disputed Items”), then Seller may give written notice (a “Closing Statement Dispute Notice”) to Buyer within such 45-day period, which Closing Statement Dispute Notice will set forth (i) the Disputed Items; (ii) in reasonable detail (to the extent such detail is available) Seller’s basis for disagreement with the Final Closing Statement; (iii) Seller’s proposed resolution of the Disputed Items (including Seller’s determination of Net Debt Amount, Net Working Capital, Transaction Costs and the Final Stock Consideration derived therefrom taking into account such proposed resolution of the Disputed Items); and (iv) include materials showing in reasonable detail Seller’s support for such position. (A) The failure by Seller to provide a Closing Statement Dispute Notice within such 45-day period or (B) the delivery by Seller to Buyer during such 45-day period of a written notice stating that Seller has elected not to deliver a Closing Statement Dispute Notice, will constitute a full and complete acceptance by Seller of the Final Closing Statement as determined by Buyer and such Final Closing Statement will be binding and final for all purposes of this Agreement. If Seller timely delivers a Closing Statement Dispute Notice and Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Final Closing Statement within 30 days after the delivery of such Closing Statement Dispute Notice by Seller to Buyer, then the dispute may be referred by either Buyer or Seller for determination to PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP or, if it is unable to serve, a nationally recognized accounting firm not affiliated with Seller or Buyer that is mutually selected by Buyer and Seller. If Buyer and Seller are unable to select a nationally recognized accounting firm within 15 Business Days of the notice by Seller or Buyer to submit the dispute, either Buyer or Seller may thereafter request that the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) make such selection (as applicable, the firm selected by Xxxxx and Seller or the AAA is referred to as the “Independent Accountant”); provided, in no event shall the Independent Accountant be the regular auditing firm of either Party. The Independent Accountant’s determination shall be based solely on (1) the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement, and (2) presentations consisting of (x) a single written presentation submitted by each of Seller and Buyer (which the Independent Accountant shall be instructed to distribute to Seller and Buyer upon receipt of both such presentations) and (y) a single written response submitted by each of Seller and Buyer to each such presentation and any interrogatories of the Independent Accountant (which the Independent Accountant shall be instructed to distribute to Seller and Xxxxx upon receipt of such responses). For the avoidance of doubt, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any ex parte communications with the Independent Accountant relating to this Section 3.2(b) or this Agreement, and the Independent Accountant shall not conduct an independent investigation in respect of its determination. The Independent Accountant will make a written

determination as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which the dispute is referred to the Independent Accountant (which determination shall be made regarding each Disputed Item by selecting only the position with respect to such Disputed Item that is claimed by Buyer in the Final Closing Statement or by Seller in the Closing Statement Dispute Notice). If at any xxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxx resolve their dispute, then notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 3.2(b), the Independent Accountant’s involvement promptly will be discontinued and the Final Closing Statement will be revised, if necessary, to reflect such resolution and thereupon will be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement. The Parties will make readily available to the Independent Accountant all books and records relating to the Final Closing Statement and all other items reasonably requested by the Independent Accountant in connection with resolving the Disputed Items. The costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be borne by the Parties in proportion to their relative success as determined by the Independent Accountant (with the more successful party bearing the lesser portion of such fees). The decision of the Independent Accountant will be final, binding and non-appealable for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Final Closing Statement will be revised, if necessary, to reflect such decision and thereupon will be final, binding and non-appealable for all purposes of this Agreement. Any statement, calculation or notice delivered by any Party pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) (including the Estimated Closing Statement) and any negotiation, communication or discussion with respect thereto, is being delivered for settlement purposes only and will be subject to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence.

1.11Final Stock Consideration Adjustment Procedures.

(a)Following the final determination of the Final Closing Statement and the Final Stock Consideration derived therefrom in accordance with Section 3.2(b), if the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock comprising the Estimated Stock Consideration exceeds the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock comprising the Final Stock Consideration (such excess number of shares of Buyer Common Stock, the “Overpayment”) and the Overpayment is less than the number of Closing Adjustment Shares, then, within two (2) Business Days after the final determination thereof:

(vii)Buyer shall cause written instructions to be delivered to the Transfer Agent instructing the Transfer Agent to remove the Contract Legend from all of the Closing Adjustment Shares;

(viii)Buyer and Seller shall cause the applicable Transfer Agent Documentation to be delivered to the Transfer Agent to effect the foregoing; and

(p)Following the final determination of the Final Closing Statement and the Final Stock Consideration derived therefrom in accordance with Section 3.2(b), if there is an Underpayment and the value of the Underpayment, determined based on the Closing VWAP, exceeds the Cash Adjustment Amount, then, within two (2) Business Days after the final determination thereof:

(x)Buyer shall cause written instructions to be delivered to the Transfer Agent instructing the Transfer Agent to remove the Contract Legend from all of the Closing Adjustment Shares;

(xi)Buyer and Seller shall cause the applicable Transfer Agent Documentation to be delivered to the Transfer Agent to effect the foregoing;

(xiii)at the election of Buyer, either:

(A)Buyer shall wire transfer in immediately available funds to Seller an aggregate amount in cash equal to the value of the Underpayment, determined based on the Closing VWAP, minus the Cash Adjustment Amount; or

(B)Buyer shall cause to be issued to Seller in book entry form a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock, rounded to the nearest whole share, equal to (1) the Underpayment minus (2)(x) the Cash Adjustment Amount divided by (y) the Closing VWAP.

Article IV

The Company Group member identified on Schedule 5.5(b) as the lessee or sublessee under any particular Scheduled Lease owns the leasehold interest created pursuant to each of the Scheduled Leases free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. Each Scheduled Lease is in full force and effect and constitutes a binding obligation of the applicable Company Group member, and to the Knowledge of Seller, of the applicable landlord of such Scheduled Lease. There is not, under any such Scheduled Lease, any existing material default by the Company Group member party thereto, or, to Seller’s Knowledge, by the applicable landlord of such Scheduled Lease. No event has occurred that constitutes, or that with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute, a material default by any Company Group member, or the Knowledge of Seller, the applicable landlord of such Scheduled Lease, under any Scheduled Lease. True, correct and complete copies of all Scheduled Leases have been provided to Buyer.

(ad)The Scheduled Leases constitute all of the real property interests (the “Real Property”) which are (i) currently used in connection with the ownership and operations of the Company Group, and (ii) necessary and sufficient for the conduct of the business of the Company Group as currently conducted. Other than (x) the Real Property and (y) those interests disclosed on Schedule 5.5(c), the Company Group does not own or lease or otherwise use or hold for use any real property. Other than the Company Group, there are no parties in possession of any portion of any Real Property as lessees, subtenants, tenants at sufferance or trespassers. Subject to the terms of the Scheduled Leases, the applicable Company Group member, has full right and authority to occupy, use and operate all of the improvements located on the Real Property (the “Facilities”), subject to applicable Legal Requirements and the Permitted Liens. Solely to the extent such improvements are obligated to be maintained by such Company Group member pursuant to the Scheduled Leases, such improvements are being used, occupied, and maintained in all material respects by such Company Group member, in accordance with all applicable easements, Contracts, permits, licenses, insurance requirements, restrictions, building setback lines, covenants and reservations, except where the failure to use, occupy or maintain such improvements in accordance with the foregoing would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to the Company Group, taken as a whole. Certificates of occupancy and all other material licenses, permits, authorizations, and approvals required by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Real Property have been issued for such Company Group member’s occupancy of each of such improvements and all such certificates, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals have been paid for and are in full force and effect. There is no pending, or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding or special assessment affecting any of the Real Property, nor has any Company Group member received notification that any such proceeding or assessment is being contemplated. Solely to the extent such improvements are obligated to be maintained by such Company Group member pursuant to the Scheduled Leases, and except as set forth on Schedule 5.5(c) or as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to the Company Group, taken as a whole, the Facilities, including roofs, are in good order and state of repair, are free from material structural and material mechanical defects and have been used by such Company Group member in the Ordinary Course of Business and remain as of the Closing Date in suitable and adequate

condition for such continued use. The Company Group has not deferred any material maintenance of the Facilities in contemplation of the Transactions.

(ae)The Company Group has furnished Buyer with true, correct and complete copies of all deeds and leases in the possession of such Company Group member that relate to the Real Property.

(ah)The Leased Equipment, the Scheduled Personal Property and all other equipment owned or leased by the Company Group (together, the “Personal Property”) constitute all of the equipment necessary for the continued ownership, use and operation of the Company Group Business in all material respects as of the Closing Date. Each Company Group member has good and valid title to, or valid right to use, the Personal Property free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens. Upon the consummation of the Transactions, each Company Group member will have good and valid title to, or valid right to use, the Personal Property which is owned by such Company Group member free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens. Each item of Scheduled Personal Property is located on the Real Property or the Facilities, is on location with a customer of the Company Group in accordance with the records of the Company Group or is in transit between such customer location and the Real Property or the Facilities in the Ordinary Course of Business. Other than any Personal Property not currently used in the Ordinary Course of Business of the Company Group, except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to the Company Group, taken as a whole, each item of Personal Property owned by the Company Group is in good working order and repair (taking its age and ordinary wear and tear into account), has been operated and maintained in the Ordinary Course of Business of the Company Group and remains suitable for continuing use consistent with its primary use since December 31, 2021 (or later acquisition date). The Company Group has not deferred material maintenance of any such item in contemplation of the Transactions.

1.11Permits. Schedule 5.7 lists all material Permits used or held by any Company Group member in connection with the ownership of the Company Group Assets and the operation of the Company Group Business (the “Scheduled Permits”).

Except as set forth in Schedule 5.7 or as would not reasonably be

expected, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to the Company Group, taken as a whole: such Permits are valid and in full force and effect and no Company Group member is in default, and no condition exists that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute non-compliance with or a default under, any of such Permits.

To the Knowledge of Seller, there has been no infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation or facts that are reasonably likely to give rise to a material infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation by any other Person of any of the Company Group Intellectual Property.

The Company Group has not provided or been legally required to provide any notices to data owners or Governmental Authorities in connection with any unauthorized access, use or disclosure of Personal Information.

Any reserve for bad debts shown on the Financial Statements or, with respect to accounts receivable arising after the date of the Interim Balance Sheet, on the accounting records of the Company Group have been determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. The Company Group has good and valid title to the Receivables free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and no agreement for deduction, free services or goods, discounts or other deferred price or quantity adjustments has been made with respect to such Receivables.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will limit any claim or recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy or with respect to claims for Fraud.

(vi)Consistent with the Agreed Tax Treatment and the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the Final Stock Consideration (and any other items constituting consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will be allocated among the Company Group Assets in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (such allocation, the “Allocation”). On or prior to the date that is 120 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will provide Seller with Xxxxx’s proposed Allocation. Seller will propose to Buyer any changes to such Allocation in writing within 45 days after the date of delivery of such allocation to Seller in accordance with the preceding sentence (or otherwise will be deemed to have agreed with such allocation upon the expiration of such 45-day period), and the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon a final binding Allocation (the “Final Allocation”) within 30 days after the date of any requested changes by Seller. In the event that the parties cannot so agree, following such 30 day period, Seller and Buyer will select an Independent Accountant, in the same manner as provided for the selection of the Independent Accountant under Section 3.2(b), to appraise the assets as such existed immediately prior to the Closing Date and prepare the Final Allocation consistent with such appraisal. The cost of such expert will be divided equally between Seller and Buyer. Buyer will update the Final Allocation in good faith to take into account any subsequent adjustments to the Final Stock Consideration, including any adjustment pursuant to this Agreement, and any changes to any other items constituting consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(vii)The Parties will not (and will not permit their respective Affiliates to) file any Tax Return or otherwise take any position with respect to Taxes which is inconsistent with the Final Allocation (as updated) or the Agreed Tax Treatment, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements following a Final Determination; provided, however, that neither Party shall be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to negotiate, compromise and/or settle any Tax audit, claim or similar proceedings in connection with the Final Allocation or the Agreed Tax Treatment.

(g)Tax Cooperation. Each Party will cooperate (and will cause its Affiliates to cooperate) fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, inquiry, examination or proceeding with respect to Taxes imposed on or with respect to the assets, operations or activities of the Company Group (each a “Tax Proceeding”). Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon another Party’s request) the provision of all documents and other information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Any information obtained by a Party or its Affiliates from another Party or its Affiliates in connection with any Tax matters to which this Agreement applies will be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise required by Legal Requirements, necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in conducting any Tax Proceeding or as may otherwise be necessary to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

(h) Tax Proceedings. Buyer will have the right to control and take any action it deems appropriate with respect to any Tax Proceeding with respect to any member of the Company Group; provided, that if such Tax Proceeding is with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period and is reasonably likely to result in any Tax liability payable by Seller or its direct or indirect owners, then Buyer will (i) allow Seller, at its own expense, directly or through its designated representatives, to participate in such Tax Proceeding and to review in advance and comment upon all submissions made in the course of any Tax Proceeding relating to such Tax Returns (including any administrative appeals thereof), and (ii) not settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding if such settlement or compromise relates to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period and will result in a Tax liability payable by Seller without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent will not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(i)Transfer Taxes. To the extent that any transfer, sales, use, excise, real property transfer, documentary, stamp, registration or other similar Taxes arise by reason of the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”), such Transfer Taxes will be borne and timely paid 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller. The Parties will reasonably cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, the amount of any such Transfer Taxes. Each Party will provide and make available to each other Party any resale certificates and other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by such other Party. Any Tax Return that must be filed with respect to Transfer Taxes will be prepared and filed when due by the Party primarily or customarily responsible under the applicable Legal Requirements for the filing of such Tax Returns.

1.13Wrong Pockets. From and after the Closing, if Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group), on the other hand, discovers that any of the assets of Seller or any of its Affiliates were primarily or exclusively used, or held for use, in the Company Group Business as conducted as of the Closing, then Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with Buyer to transfer or assign such assets to Buyer (or its designee) with no requirement of additional consideration to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements and execute and deliver any amendments or supplements to the Transaction Documents, as applicable, to transfer such assets to Buyer (or its designee) effective as of the Closing Date. The Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to structure any transfer of assets referred to in the immediately preceding sentence in a manner that minimizes Taxes and is equitable from a legal perspective for the Parties and the Company Group. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if, after the Closing Date, either Party or its Affiliates receives any funds belonging to another Party or its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of any Transaction Document, the receiving Party will, or will cause its Affiliates to, promptly advise the other Party or its applicable Affiliate, will segregate and hold such funds from any incurrence, remittance or reimbursement in trust for the benefit of the other Party or its Affiliates and will promptly deliver such funds, together with any interest earned thereon, to an account or accounts designated in writing by such other Party or its Affiliates.

1.14Books and Records. Seller acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing, Xxxxx will be entitled to the originals of all Books and Records. Seller will promptly after Closing deliver to Buyer such originals of all Books and Records that are in Seller’s possession. From the Closing until the sixth anniversary of the Closing, Buyer will cooperate, and cause the Company Group to cooperate, in all reasonable respects with Seller’s reasonable requests to view the Books and Records, and will retain (and not destroy) and make available to Seller, during normal business hours, the Books and Records which relate to the period up to and preceding the Closing Date so long as Seller enters into a customary confidentiality agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be required to provide access to any such Books and Records to Seller to the extent Buyer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that (i) such access would eliminate any attorney-client or other legal privilege available to Buyer, any Company Group member or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) such access would contravene any applicable Legal Requirement or result in the breach of any confidentiality obligation of Buyer, any Company Group member or any of their respective Affiliates.

1.15Publicity. Except as required by a court of competent jurisdiction, pursuant to any listing agreement with the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or by applicable Legal Requirements, including applicable securities laws and regulations, and except for disclosures required to be made in the financial statements of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or in publicly filed documents necessary to effect the Transactions and the other Transaction Documents, none of the Parties nor any of their Affiliates will, without the prior consent of the other Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any public statement or any public announcement or press release with respect to the Transactions. The obligations of the Parties under this Section 7.8 shall not preclude a Party or its Affiliates from disclosing information to their respective investors, beneficial owners or representatives or as such Party or its Affiliates reasonably deem to be appropriate in connection with fund raising, financing and marketing activities undertaken by such Party or its Affiliates (provided that the receiving parties are advised of the confidential nature thereof and agree to hold such information confidential in accordance with the foregoing or are otherwise bound by obligations of confidentiality to such Party or its Affiliates).

1.16R&W Insurance Policy. The parties hereto acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, Xxxxx has obtained a binder to the R&W Insurance Policy, attached hereto as Exhibit C. All costs and expenses related to the R&W Insurance Policy will be borne by Xxxxx except for the portion of the fees included in the Estimated Closing Statement that Seller will bear. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate as requested by the Company in connection with any claim under the R&W Insurance Policy. Buyer will comply in all material respects with its obligations under the R&W Insurance Policy to the extent compliance affects Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Seller Related Parties shall be entitled to any proceeds from the R&W Insurance Policy without the prior written consent of Buyer.

1.17Lock-Up of Closing Adjustment Shares and Indemnity Shares.

(j)Seller hereby irrevocably agrees, without the prior written consent of Buyer, except to the extent expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, not to, directly or indirectly, (i) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to result or would be reasonably likely to result in the disposition by any Person at any time in the future of) any Closing Adjustment Shares or Indemnity Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of any such Closing Adjustment Shares or Indemnity Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of any such Closing Adjustment Shares or Indemnity Shares, as applicable, or other equity interests, other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

(k)The restrictions set forth in Section 7.10(a) shall terminate with respect to a Closing Adjustment Share upon the removal of the Contract Legend for such Closing Adjustment Share by the Transfer Agent pursuant to Section 3.3.

(l)The restrictions set forth in in Section 7.10(a) shall terminate with respect to an Indemnity Share upon the removal of the Indemnity Legend for such Indemnity Share by the Transfer Agent pursuant to Section 8.6.

1.39D&O Matters.

(m)Xxxxx agrees and acknowledges that the Company Group provides certain exculpation and indemnification protection under the Organizational Documents of the Company Group (collectively, the “D&O Protection”) to officers and directors of the Company Group (each, a “Protected Person”). Beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, unless required by applicable Legal Requirements, Buyer will not, and will not permit any Company Group member or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, amend, repeal or modify in a manner adverse to the beneficiary thereof any D&O Protections in the Organizational Documents of the Company Group, in each case, as it relates to any Protected Person or any acts, omissions, circumstances or events existing or occurring prior to the Closing, without the written consent of such affected Protected Person.

(n)Prior to the Closing, Seller shall have purchased a customary six-year “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy to be effective as of the Closing (the “Tail Policy”) that provides an extended claims period for the coverage currently provided under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by the Company Group, 50% of the costs of which will be a Transaction Cost, and the remaining 50% of the costs of which will be paid by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer will not (and will cause each member of the Company Group and each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to) cancel (or permit to be canceled) or take (or cause to be taken) any action or omission that would reasonably be expected to result in the cancellation of the Tail Policy.

(o)If Buyer, any member of the Company Group, or any of their respective successors or assigns proposes to (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person, and Buyer or such member of the Company Group will not be the continuing or surviving entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made prior to or concurrently with the consummation of such transaction so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or such member of the Company Group, as the case may be, will satisfy the obligations of Buyer set forth in this Section 7.11.

(p)The provisions of this Section 7.11 will survive the Closing and (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Protected Person and his or her successors, heirs and representatives and will be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer and the Company Group and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise.

1.1Employees; Contractors.

(q)Except as otherwise provided herein, commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months following the Closing Date, and (ii) the date that an employee of the Company Group is no longer employed by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, Buyer shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each employee of the Company Group a rate of pay that includes annual base salary or an hourly wage rate (as applicable), other compensation and such other employee benefits that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those that are provided to each such employee by the Company Group as of immediately prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an industry downturn or other economic circumstances negatively impact Buyer and its Subsidiaries, the

compensation and employee benefits provided to employees of the Company Group may be reduced as part of a generally applicable reduction in salary or other compensation or benefits that applies in the same manner to other similarly situated employees of Buyer or its Subsidiaries that then employ such employee of the Company Group during such period.

(r)With respect to any Buyer Plans (other than any such plan providing a severance, vacation or paid time off benefit) in which any employee of the Company Group will participate following the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to, or to cause any third-party insurance carriers to, (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing condition exclusions, active employment requirements, requirements to show evidence of good health and waiting periods with respect to the employees of the Company Group and their spouses and dependents, if applicable, to the same extent waived under a similar or comparable Company Group Plan in which such employee of the Company Group participated immediately before the Closing Date and (ii) cause each such Buyer Plan in which any employee of the Company Group may participate to provide each employee of the Company Group with credit for any co-payments or deductibles paid prior to the Closing Date under the applicable Company Group Plan in satisfying any deductible requirements or out of pocket limits under the Company Group Plan for the plan year in which participation in such Buyer Plan commences.

(s)Buyer shall cause to be provided to each employee of the Company Group credit for prior service with the Company Group to the extent such service would be recognized if it had been performed as an employee of Buyer or its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and level of benefits calculated in each defined contribution retirement and welfare benefit plan or program of Buyer, if any, and excluding any plan providing severance benefits, vacation, or paid time off, in which such employees of the Company Group are eligible to participate after the Closing Date to the same extent as such employee of the Company Group was entitled, before the Closing Date, to credit for such service under the corresponding Company Group Plan, if any; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Buyer shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each employee of the Company Group vacation or paid time off benefits as are provided to each such employee by the Company Group as of immediately prior to the Closing.

(t)The Parties acknowledge and agree that no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to: (i) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee, director or consultant of the Company Group (ii) create any right to any compensation or benefits whatsoever on the part of any employee of the Company Group or other future, present or former employee of the Company Group, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates, Buyer, or its Affiliates; (iii) guarantee employment for any period of time or preclude the ability of Buyer to terminate any employee of the Company Group, independent contractor or other individual service provider for any reason at any time; (iv) require Buyer to continue any Buyer Plan, or other employee compensation or benefit plans or arrangements, or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Closing Date; or (v) constitute an amendment to any Plan or other employee benefit or compensation plan or arrangement.

Article VIII
INDEMNIFICATION

1.1Indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Parties. From and after the Closing, Seller will indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses from Third-Party Claims (as defined below) arising out of or relating to a breach of

Section 5.18; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will not have any liability under this Article VIII until the Buyer Indemnified Parties have suffered $100,000.

1.2Indemnification Procedures.

(a)Promptly following receipt by a Buyer Indemnified Party of written notice by a third party (including any Governmental Authority) of any complaint, dispute or claim or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding from such third party with respect to which such Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant hereto (a “Third-Party Claim”), Buyer will provide written notice thereof to Seller; provided, the failure to so notify Seller will not limit the Buyer Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification under this Article VIII unless, and only to the extent that, such failure to so notify Seller materially prejudices the defense of such claim. Such notice will describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, subject to the first proviso to this Section 8.2(a) and include copies of all material written evidence thereof and indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained. Seller will have the right, upon written notice delivered to Buyer within 30 days thereafter (which notice shall set forth Seller’s agreement to indemnify Buyer with respect to all elements of such Third-Party Claim to the extent it is ultimately determined that Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Article VIII applies to such Loss), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim if (i) it is reasonably likely that the dollar amount of Buyer’s exposure to such Loss would exceed the product of the Indemnity Shares comprising the Indemnity Shares Balance and the Closing VWAP or (ii) a legal conflict of interest exists between Seller and the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim that cannot be resolved through customary waivers (“Litigation Conditions”). In the event, however, that Seller declines or fails to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim on the terms provided above or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, in either case within such 30-day period, or if Seller is not entitled to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with the preceding sentence, then any Losses will include the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel for Buyer as incurred if ultimately determined that Seller is responsible for the underlying Losses arising from such claim. If, after Seller has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided in this Section 8.2(a), (A) any of the Litigation Conditions come into existence or (B) Seller fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim, Buyer may assume its own defense, and any Losses will include the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel for Buyer as incurred if ultimately determined that Seller is responsible for the underlying Losses arising from such claim. Buyer or Seller, whichever is not assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim, will have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Person’s own expense. Buyer or Seller (as the case may be) will at all times use reasonable efforts to keep Seller or Buyer (as the case may be) reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter, including making available to the other Party records relating to such Third-Party Claim that is not a R&W Insurance Covered Claim; provided, however, that neither Party nor their Affiliates will be obligated to provide the other Party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) where such access would or could reasonably be expected to, based on advice of counsel, (x) result in the waiver of any attorney client privilege, (y) create any liability under applicable law or (z) violate any obligation with respect to confidentiality; provided, further, that in the case of each of the immediately foregoing clauses (x), (y) and (z), the Party withholding such information will inform the other Party of the general nature of the document or information being withheld and reasonably cooperate with the other Party and its representatives to provide such documentation or

information in a manner that would not result in violation of law or the loss or waiver of such privilege or could otherwise be redacted to mitigate any concerns around the sharing of the competitively sensitive information.

(b)Buyer may not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Seller may not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes a customary release of Buyer, the Company Group and their respective officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of, or related to, such Third-Party Claim, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing on behalf of Xxxxx, any member of the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates, (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner interferes with the business of Buyer, any member of the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates and (iv) does not require any payment by Buyer, any member of the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates.

1.3Survival. All claims for indemnification under this Article VIII must be asserted no later than the Indemnity Shares Release Date. Claims asserted after the Shares Release Date will be barred and will be without force or effect. If, prior to the close of business on the last day a claim for indemnification may be asserted hereunder, Xxxxxx has been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder in accordance with this Article VIII and such claim has not been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim will continue to survive and will remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

1.4Sources of Recovery.

(a)If a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII for any Losses, such Buyer Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover such Losses solely as follows:

(i)first, from the Indemnity Shares Balance, a number of Indemnity Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, equal to the aggregate amount of such Losses divided by the Closing VWAP; and

(ii)second, from the R&W Insurance Policy.

(a)Subject to Section 9.13, Seller’s liability for all Losses under this Article VIII shall be limited to the Indemnity Shares.

1.5Indemnity Shares Offset Procedures. Any indemnity amount payable by Seller for Losses in accordance with this Article VIII shall be paid, if and to the extent any Indemnity Shares Balance remains, by deducting from the Indemnity Shares Balance a number of Indemnity Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, equal to the aggregate amount of such Losses, divided by the Closing VWAP. Buyer shall cause written instructions to be delivered to the Transfer Agent instructing the Transfer Agent to cancel and retire the surrendered Indemnity Shares. Buyer and Seller shall cause the applicable Transfer Agent Documentation to be delivered to the Transfer Agent to effect the surrender of any Indemnity Shares.

1.6Release of Indemnity Shares. On the Indemnity Shares Release Date, Buyer shall cause written instructions to be delivered to the Transfer Agent instructing the Transfer Agent to remove the Indemnity Legend from a number of the Indemnity Shares equal to (a) the Indemnity Shares Balance, minus (b) a number of Indemnity Shares, rounded to the nearest whole share, equal to (i) a reasonable reserve for any then-unresolved good faith claims for indemnification made pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII, divided by (ii) the Closing VWAP. Following the resolution of any claims for indemnification made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that are unresolved as of the Indemnity Shares Release Date, Buyer shall cause written instructions to be delivered to the Transfer Agent instructing the Transfer Agent to remove the Indemnity Legend from any Indemnity Shares Balance and Buyer and Seller shall cause the applicable Transfer Agent Documentation to be delivered to effect the foregoing.

1.7Materiality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of this Article VIII, materiality qualifications (including the terms “material,” “material adverse effect” or words of similar import or effect) contained in the representations and warranties in Section 5.18 shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred and calculating the amount of Losses resulting from, any such breach.

1.8Tax Treatment. The Parties agree to treat any payment made pursuant to this Article VIII as an adjustment to the purchase price for the assets of the Company Group for all Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Article IX
