(a)As promptly as practicable (but not later than ninety (90) days) following the Closing Date, Buyer shall:

(i)prepare, in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles, a consolidated unaudited balance sheet of the Companies as of immediately prior to Closing (the “Preliminary Closing Date Balance Sheet”); and

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 7.1Tax Matters.

(a)All transfer, documentary, sales, use, value-added, gross receipts, stamp, registration or other similar transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions

contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, including all recording or filing fees, notarial fees and other similar costs of Closing, that may be imposed, payable, collectible or incurred (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be split evenly between Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand. Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate in providing each other with any appropriate resale exemption certificates, sale-for-lease exemption certificates, and other similar documentation as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes. Buyer will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes, and if required by Law, Sellers will join in the execution of such Tax Returns and other documentation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Buyer shall not be responsible for or bear the expense of any income or similar Tax incurred by Sellers or their equity owners or Affiliates.

(b)Sellers and Buyer covenant and agree to make a timely election pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any comparable election under any applicable state, local or non-U.S. Law) with respect to Buyer’s acquisition of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdco (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”), to execute any and all documents in connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Election (including IRS Form 8023, Elections Under Section 338 for Corporations Making Qualified Stock Purchases) and to take any action as is necessary to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) Election in accordance with this Section 7.1(b).

(c)Sellers shall pay all Pre-Closing Period Taxes due after the Closing Date attributable to the Companies to the extent such Taxes (i) were not included in the Closing Date Working Capital or (ii) were not paid by any Company prior to Closing or by or on behalf of any Seller. Buyer shall pay for all Post-Closing Period Taxes and those Taxes provided for in Section 7.1(f).

(d)Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns of the Companies required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to any Straddle Period and non-income Tax Returns for the Companies for any Pre-Closing Periods that are due after the Closing Date (each a “Buyer-Filed Tax Return”). Polytrade Sellers shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed all income Tax Returns of Polytrade Holdco that are filed after the Closing Date with respect to any Pre-Closing Period; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sellers shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed all income Tax Returns of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdco that are filed after the Closing Date with respect to any Pre-Closing Period; Sellers’ Representative shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed all income Tax Returns of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ A&D, Polygon, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Products that are filed after the Closing Date with respect to any Pre-Closing Period (together with the Tax Returns prepared any filed by the Polytrade Sellers and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sellers, each a “Seller-Filed Tax Return”). Each such Tax Return shall be prepared and timely filed in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by Requirements of Law. To the extent permitted by Law, the income Tax Returns for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ A&D shall reflect that the Companies Sub Debt is allocated solely to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdco. Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate in filing and causing to be filed all such Tax Returns. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ A&D shall make the election described in Section 754 of the Code.

(e)Prior to filing, Buyer shall provide a copy of each such Buyer-Filed Tax Return to Sellers’ Representative and Sellers’ Representative (or the Polytrade Sellers or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sellers, as applicable) shall provide a copy of each such Seller-Filed Tax Return

to Buyer, in each case as soon as practicable prior to the relevant due date (including extensions) for filing for such receiving party’s prompt review upon receipt. If the reviewing party objects to any item on any such Buyer-Filed Tax Return or Seller-Filed Tax Return, it shall, within ten (10) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify the party that prepared and delivered such Tax Return in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item. Buyer and the respective Seller or Sellers’ Representative agree to consult and resolve in good faith any issues arising as a result of the review of such income Tax Returns; provided, however, that (i) Buyer shall revise any such Buyer-Filed Tax Return to resolve any objections from a Seller or Sellers’ Representative to the extent such objections are more likely than not supported by applicable Law and (ii) the respective Seller or Sellers’ Representative shall revise any such Seller-Filed Tax Return to resolve any objections from Buyer to the extent such objections are more likely than not supported by applicable Law. Sellers’ Representative and Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer in filing and causing to be filed all such Buyer-Filed Tax Returns, including amended Buyer-Filed Tax Returns and Buyer shall cooperate with Sellers’ Representative in filing and causing to be filed all such Seller-Filed Tax Returns, including amended Seller-Filed Tax Returns. Buyer shall also prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all other Tax Returns for the Companies for any taxable period beginning on or after the Closing Date that are due after the Closing Date. Each such Tax Return shall be prepared and timely filed in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by Requirements of Law. Buyer shall not prepare any amended income Tax Returns with respect to any of the Companies for any Pre-Closing Period without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(f)Sellers shall pay to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to a Straddle Period and other Buyer-Filed Tax Returns an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes that relates to the Pre-Closing Period, except to the extent such Taxes are reflected in the Closing Date Working Capital or were paid by or on behalf of the Companies prior to Closing or by a Seller after Closing. For purposes of this Section 7.1(f) the portion of such Tax that relates to the Pre-Closing Period shall (x) in the case of any income Taxes or Taxes based upon or related to employment, sales and use, value added and other non-periodic Taxes be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date and (y) in the case of any periodic Taxes and Taxes other than Taxes in (x) be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practices, policies and Tax Returns of the Companies. Neither Sellers nor Buyer shall prepare any amended Tax Returns with respect to the Companies for any Straddle Period without the consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(g)Sellers shall be entitled to any Tax refunds (or credits in lieu of refunds) that are received by Buyer or the Companies attributable to any Pre-Closing Period or portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (unless reflected as an asset in the Closing Date Working Capital and taken into account in Purchase Price), and Buyer shall pay over to the Sellers’ Representative (for further distribution to Sellers) any such refund (or credit in lieu of refund) within five (5) calendar days after receipt of such refund (or the filing of any

Tax Return reflecting a credit in lieu of such refund). After the Closing, at the expense of Sellers, Buyer shall cause the Companies to work in good faith and diligently pursue any Tax refund claims during the three (3) year period following the Closing Date in order to legally maximize and obtain any such Tax refunds or credits; provided such Tax refund or credit exceeds $25,000. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer, at the request of Sellers, shall cause the Companies to request a refund (rather than a credit in lieu of a refund) with respect to all Pre-Closing Periods so long as such refund does not cause a Material Adverse Effect to Buyer.

(h)Buyer and Sellers agree to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to each other, upon written notice, as promptly as practical, such information (including reasonable access to books and records) and assistance as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return, the conduct of any Tax audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax matter. Buyer and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Tax audit or other Tax proceedings and each shall execute and deliver such documents as are reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 7.1(h). Any information obtained pursuant to this Section 7.1 or pursuant to any other Section hereof providing for the sharing of information or review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes with respect to the Companies shall be kept confidential by the parties hereto and their respective legal and Tax advisors. Any Tax audit or other Tax proceeding shall be deemed to be a Third Party Claim subject to the procedures set forth in Section 8.6.

(i)Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1(i), Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Sellers’ Representative the Tax benefits actually realized from Seller Expenses to the extent such deductions are reasonably substantiated to be more likely than not deductible and are recognized within twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided that all such deductions shall be taken on the respective Company’s earliest possible Tax Return. If Buyer and Sellers’ Representative fail to reach an agreement with respect to whether any Seller Expense is deductible in accordance with this Section 7.1(i), then any disputed amount shall be submitted for resolution to the Arbitrating Accountant and the parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 2.4 in resolving such dispute. Such Tax benefit payments will be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price. Buyer and Sellers agree to deduct all Seller Expenses in the Pre-Closing Period to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

(i) To the extent such Tax benefits are deducted on the respective Company’s income Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Period, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid any refund related to such deductions on such Tax Return, determined on a “with and without” basis, to the Sellers’ Representative within ten (10) days of the respective Company’s receipt of such refund. To the extent such Tax benefits are deducted on a Straddle Period Tax Return, then Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, any reduction of Tax liability related to such reduction on such Tax Return, determined on a “with and without” basis, to Sellers’ Representative within ten (10) days of the filing of such income Tax Return.

(ii) To the extent any loss resulting from such Seller Expenses is carried back to an income Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Period, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, any refund from the carryback of such loss, determined on a “with and

without” basis, to Sellers’ Representative within ten (10) days of the respective Company’s receipt of such refund.

(iii) To the extent any loss resulting from Seller Expenses is carried forward to a Straddle Period Tax Return or Post-Closing Period Tax Return, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, any Tax benefit from the carryforward of such loss, determined on a “with and without” basis, to Sellers’ Representative within ten (10) days of the filing of the Tax Return that reflects such Tax benefit.

(iv) For purposes of this this Section 7.1(i), the Tax benefits arising from the deduction contemplated hereunder which Buyer is required to pay are limited to actual reductions in Taxes payable by the Buyer within twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, determined on a “with and without” basis. To the extent that the Buyer makes a payment to Sellers for Tax benefits and such Tax benefits are subsequently disallowed by applicable Tax authorities, the Sellers shall reimburse and indemnify the Buyer for such amounts within ten (10) days after Buyer issues a written demand to Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers) for such reimbursement.

Section 7.2Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Buyer (i) shall not, and shall not permit any of the Companies to, amend, repeal or otherwise modify any provision in such Company’s constituent documents relating to the exculpation or indemnification of any officers and/or directors (“Indemnified Officer or Director”) (unless required by Law), it being the intent of the parties that the current and former officers and directors of the Companies shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification to the full extent of the Law, provided, however, that such right to indemnification shall not be available with respect to, and the obligations pursuant to this sentence shall not include, matters for which Buyer Group Members are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement if the Indemnified Officer or Director seeking indemnification is personally in material Breach of this Agreement with respect to the same matter, and (ii) shall cause the Companies to continue in effect, and take all other reasonable action necessary to maintain and provide, a “directors and officers” tail insurance policy with coverage levels no less than those in effect immediately prior to the Closing and covering those persons who were directors and officers of any of the Companies immediately prior to the Closing with respect to claims arising out of facts, circumstances or events that occurred at any point prior to the Closing (“D&O Tail”). Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for fifty (50) percent of the cost of the D&O Tail described in this Section 7.2, which shall be procured by Buyer after the Closing and retroactively effective as of the Closing Date. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that this Section 7.2 shall be binding on Buyer’s successors and assigns. Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall be deemed to restrict the ability of Buyer, the Companies or their respective subsidiaries, if any, to merge, consolidate or engage in any transaction so long as the surviving entity of such transaction provides rights of indemnification no less than those set forth in this Section 7.2.

Section 7.3Appointment of the Sellers’ Representative.

(a)Each of the Sellers irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Sellers’ Representative to act as such Seller’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent and authorizes

the Sellers’ Representative acting for such Seller and in such Seller’s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities to do and perform every act and thing required or permitted to be done in connection with the following transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as fully to all intents and purposes as such Seller might or could do in person:

Each of the Sellers grants unto said attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the matters described above, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Sellers’ Representative may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Each of the Sellers further acknowledges and agrees that, upon execution of this Agreement, with respect to any delivery by the Sellers’ Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other documents executed by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Section 7.3, such Seller shall be bound by such documents as fully as if such Seller had executed and delivered such documents. Each of the Sellers agrees not to take any action inconsistent with the terms of this

Section 7.3 or with the actions (or decisions not to act) of the Sellers’ Representative hereunder, and in any case shall not take any action or other position under this Agreement without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative.

(b)Liability of the Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers’ Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Seller. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any action taken or omitted by it or him in his or its capacity as Sellers’ Representative hereunder or under any other document hereunder, or in connection therewith, except that the Sellers’ Representative shall not be relieved of any Liability imposed by Law for gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Seller to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the other Sellers any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. Each of the Sellers acknowledges and agrees that the Sellers’ Representative shall not be obligated to take any actions and shall be entitled to take such actions as the Sellers’ Representative deems appropriate in such Sellers’ Representative’s sole discretion.

(c)Reliance by Buyer. Each of the Sellers and Sellers’ Representative agrees that Buyer, each Company and each of their Affiliates shall be entitled to unconditionally assume that any action taken or omitted, or any document executed by, the Sellers’ Representative purporting to act as the Sellers’ Representative under or pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement has been unconditionally authorized by the Sellers to be taken, omitted to be taken, or executed on their behalf and that they will be legally bound thereby, and each of the Sellers agrees not to institute any claim, lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding against Buyer alleging that the Sellers’ Representative did not have the authority to act as the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers in connection with any such action, omission or execution. Buyer, each Company and their Affiliates shall not be obligated to inquire into the authority of the Sellers’ Representative, and each of them shall be fully protected in dealing with the Sellers’ Representative hereunder. No modification or revocation of the power of attorney granted by the Sellers herein to the Sellers’ Representative to serve as the Sellers’ Representative shall be effective as against Buyer, any Company or any of their Affiliates until Buyer has received a document signed by all of the Sellers effecting said modification or revocation. Each Seller hereby agrees that no Buyer Group Member shall have any Liability as a result of the Sellers’ Representative’s failure to distribute any amounts received by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers. Each Seller agrees that this Section 7.3 is enforceable and agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such enforceability.

Section 7.4Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality.

(a) Each Seller and Restricted Party acknowledges that it is familiar with the trade secrets and other confidential information of the Companies, and that the Companies and Buyer are reasonably expected to continue to operate throughout the world. Therefore, each

Seller and Restricted Party agrees to the covenants set forth in this Section 7.4 and acknowledges that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement but for each Seller’s and Restricted Party’s agreement to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.4.

(b) For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), no Restricted Party shall, and each Restricted Party shall cause his, her or its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own, operate, lease, manage, control, engage in, invest in, lend to, own any debt or equity security or interest of, permit its name to be used by, act as a director, manager, partner, consultant, or advisor to, render services for or to (alone or in association with any Person), or otherwise participate or assist any Person other than Buyer or the Companies in any manner in any business that is engaged in the business of each, any or all of the Companies, as conducted or proposed to be conducted, which business includes each and any of (i) the provision of aerospace and defense supply chain management solutions, (ii) the distribution or sale of consumable hardware (including, but not limited to, fasteners, consumables and/or hardware), or (iii) program management relating to the foregoing, in any such case, to any customer, including (X) the U.S. Government, (Y) any defense contractor, or (Z) any domestic or international company; and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each and any of the following activities shall be deemed within (i)-(iii), above: (i) provision of vendor managed inventory; (ii) management and/or planning of activities which involve sourcing, procurement and/or logistics; (iii) maintenance of a spot buy department and/or dedicated safety stock to support unplanned demand needs for parts; (iv) warehouse and/or inventory management (including creation of customized databases to track and/or manage inventory and/or warehouse facilities); (v) provision of radio frequency identification (RFID) coding; (vi) assistance with compliance with government packaging and/or inspection requirements for products; (vii) provision of customized packaging for inventory; (viii) kitting; and (ix) distribution of materials via vending machines (the “Business”) (or any portion thereof) or competitive with the Business (or any portion thereof) anywhere in the world (including any business selling the same products or services or products and services functionally equivalent to those sold by Buyer or any Company) other than those set forth on Schedule 7.4(b) (which shall be subject to any limitations and conditions set forth on such Schedule); provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit any Restricted Party or its Affiliates from holding a passive beneficial ownership interest of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding publicly traded equity securities or interests of any entity or the passive direct or indirect investment of less than five percent (5%) of equity in any investment fund provided that a Seller does not have the power to direct or manage any investment of such fund.

(c) During the Restricted Period, no Seller or Restricted Party shall, and each Seller and Restricted Party shall cause his, her or its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, hire, engage, or solicit for employment (or engagement as a consultant) any Person who (A) is employed (or engaged as a consultant) by any Company or was so employed or engaged during the six (6) months prior to Closing, or (B) is employed (or engaged as a consultant) by Buyer or by its Affiliates (in connection with the Business) or was so employed or engaged during the six (6) month period prior to such hiring, engagement or solicitation, or encourage or induce or attempt to encourage or induce any such employee or consultant to leave such employment or engagement (provided that this sentence shall not limit any general solicitation not directed at any such restricted current or former employee or consultant). During the Restricted Period, no

Restricted Party shall, and each Restricted Party shall cause his, her or its Affiliates not to, (i) encourage or induce or attempt to encourage or induce any Person who is, or was within two (2) years prior to the date thereof, a customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, or other business relation of any Company, Buyer, or Buyer’s Affiliates (such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, or other business relation collectively, the “Company Parties”) to cease doing business or modify the way it does business with any Company, Buyer or its Affiliates or in any way interfere with or otherwise adversely affect the relationship between any such Company Party and any Company, Buyer or its Affiliates; or (ii) solicit any Company Party for a business competitive with the Business (including any business selling the same products or services or products and services functionally equivalent to those sold by any Company or Buyer at or prior to Closing).

(d) From and after the Closing, each Seller and Restricted Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates, agents, representatives, and professionals to, hold in confidence (and not disclose or provide access to any other Person) and not use, any and all confidential or proprietary information, whether written or oral, concerning any Company or the Business, except to the extent that Sellers’ Representative can show that such information: (i) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of any Seller or Restricted Party or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives; or (ii) was lawfully acquired by such Seller or Restricted Party or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives from and after the Closing from sources unrelated to Buyer or any Company which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If any Seller or any Restricted Party or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives is compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, such Seller or Restricted Party shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which such Seller or Restricted Party is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that such Seller (or Sellers’ Representative on its behalf) or Restricted Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and immediately notify Buyer in writing so that Buyer shall be able to seek to obtain, an appropriate protective Court Order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Sellers shall be permitted to use confidential and proprietary information of the Business and the Companies solely in connection with Tax or accounting purposes, legal compliance, or to enforce their respective rights under this Agreement.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Buyer and each of its Affiliates (including the Companies), successors, and assigns would suffer irreparable harm from a breach, violation or default of this Section 7.4 by any Seller or Restricted Party and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach, violation or default. Therefore, in the event a breach, violation or default or threatened breach, violation or default this Section 7.4, Buyer and each of its Affiliates (including the Companies) or their respective successors and assigns, in addition to other rights and remedies available at Law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek specific performance, injunctive, and other equitable relief in order to enforce or prevent any breach, violation or default of the provisions of this Agreement (without posting a bond or

other security and at the expense of Sellers, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses). The restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 7.4 shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of any Seller or Restricted Party against Buyer, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Buyer of any restrictive covenant contained in this Section 7.4. No further actions are required to be taken or obligations are required to be fulfilled by Buyer to entitle it to seek enforcement of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 7.4.

(f) If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares any term or provision of this Section 7.4 to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified to cover the maximum duration, scope or area permitted by Law. In addition, in the event of a breach, violation or default by any Seller or Restricted Party of this Section 7.4, the Restricted Period shall be tolled with respect to such Seller or Restricted Party until such breach, violation or default has been duly cured. Each Seller and Restricted Party agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 7.4 are reasonable and necessary to protect Buyer’s legitimate business interests and the goodwill of the Companies and the Business purchased pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.5Names and Logos. After the Closing, the Sellers will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates not to, use (i) any names or logos incorporating or similar to any name of any Company, including “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇” or “Polytrade” or any derivatives thereof or any other trade name used in the Business or (ii) any Trademarks incorporating or similar to any Trademark of any Company.

Section 7.6Obligations of Fund. From and after the Closing until the fifth anniversary of the Closing, HCI Equity Partners III, L.P. shall have rights and/or other assets sufficient to satisfy its reasonably likely indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

Section 7.7Treatment of Certain Employee Plans. Sellers shall be responsible, for any and all contributions to the Terminated Plans up to the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of each such Terminated Plans with respect to any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

Section 7.8Treatment of Certain Employee Bonuses. Within ten (10) days after Closing, Buyer shall pay (as set forth in such Payment Instructions Letter) the employees of the Companies their prorated accrued annual bonuses relating to periods prior to and through the Closing Date in the amounts set forth on Schedule 7.8 (and such amounts shall be treated as Seller Expenses). Sellers shall direct Buyer (as set forth in the Payment Instructions Letter) to wire a portion of the Purchase Price to fund the payment of any sale bonuses or change of control payments owed to any employee of any Company in the aggregate amounts set forth on Schedule 7.8 (such amounts to be paid out at or as soon as reasonably practicable after Closing) (and such amounts shall be treated as Seller Expenses and not included in the calculation of

Working Capital). Sellers shall pay all amounts to employees in excess of the amounts set forth on Schedule 7.8 (if any) with respect to any bonus obligations owed to any of the Companies’ employees as of Closing that survive or are alleged to survive the Closing.

(i)any individual or series of related Losses or Expenses (whether or not the deductible set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 8.4 has been achieved) equals or exceeds $21,000 (the “De Minimis”); provided, however, if such individual or series of related Losses or Expenses exceeds the De Minimis then the Sellers shall be liable for all such Losses and Expenses (as opposed to Losses and

Expenses solely in excess of such amount), and such Losses and Expenses shall be counted against the Deductible, subject to the other terms of this Agreement; and

(ii)the aggregate amount of Losses and Expenses exceeds $1,575,000 (it being understood that such $1,575,000 shall be a deductible for which the Sellers shall bear no indemnification responsibility) (the “Deductible”).

(c)Buyer shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless Seller Group Members pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) with respect to Losses and Expenses incurred by Buyer Group Members only to the extent that:

(i)any individual or series of related Losses or Expenses (whether or not the deductible set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 8.4(c) has been achieved) equals or exceeds the De Minimis; provided, however, if such individual or series of related Losses or Expenses exceeds the De Minimis then the Buyer shall be liable for all such Losses and Expenses (as opposed to Losses and Expenses solely in excess of such amount), and such Losses and Expenses shall be counted against the Deductible, subject to the other terms of this Agreement; and

(ii)the aggregate amount of Losses and Expenses exceeds the Deductible (it being understood that the Deductible shall be a deductible for which Buyer shall bear no indemnification responsibility).

(d)Except as provided in Section 8.4(e), the aggregate amount of all Losses and Expenses required to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to the Cap.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the limitations set forth in this Article VIII (including the De Minimis, the Deductible and the Cap) shall not apply to, or limit the Liability of any party for, breach, violation or defaults of any Fundamental Representations, intentional or willful breach, violation or defaults or fraud.

(f)With respect to Losses and Expenses suffered or incurred by any Buyer Group Member subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2, in no event shall any Seller be liable for Losses and Expenses suffered or incurred by any Buyer Group Member subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 in excess of the amount actually paid to such Seller or such Seller’s Affiliates pursuant to ARTICLE II.

(g)Any indemnification payable by any Seller under this ARTICLE VIII as a consequence of any Losses or Expenses shall be first made as a payment from the Indemnity Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and to the extent that the aggregate amount of such indemnification payments exceeds the available amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Account plus any interest accrued thereon, the Sellers, on a

several and not joint basis (in the case of amounts payable by any Seller under Section 8.1), and on a joint and several basis (in the case of all other amounts payable by Sellers under this ARTICLE VIII), shall pay to the relevant Buyer Group Members any such indemnification payments in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account to be designated by Buyer. All recourse to the Indemnity Escrow Account shall be as if any breach, violation or default were joint and several among all Sellers.

(h)The Parties hereto hereby agree that, if the other party fails to pay when due any claims for Losses or Expenses under this ARTICLE VIII the validity and amount of which have been the subject of judicial determination or that have been settled or compromised in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE VIII (collectively, “Settled Claims”) for which the other party is the Indemnitor, the indemnified party may in its sole and complete discretion satisfy all or any portion of such Losses or Expenses for any such Settled Claim by setoff against any or all amounts payable by under this Agreement, including under Section 2.5. For clarity, the right of setoff in this Section 8.4(h) is only security for the parties’ indemnification obligations hereunder and such indemnification obligations are not in any way limited to such security.

(i)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Seller shall be liable to Buyer Group Members for Losses or Expenses (x) under Section 8.2(a)(v), Section 8.2(a)(vi) or Section 8.2(a)(viii) to the extent claims for such Losses are made in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII after the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date or (y) under Section 8.2(a)(vii) to the extent claims for such Losses are made in accordance with this ARTICLE VIII after the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date.

Section 8.5Notice of Claims. Any party hereto seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) which does not involve a Third Party Claim shall give promptly to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) or the Sellers’ Representative, as applicable, a notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail (to the extent known) the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice the estimated amount or the anticipated method of computation of the amount of such claim. It is agreed and understood that, in accordance with Section 7.3, the Sellers’ Representative shall (i) receive all Claim Notices and other notices that seek indemnification hereunder from the Sellers and (ii) provide all Claim Notices and other notices that seek indemnification hereunder from Buyer, and thereafter the Sellers’ Representative shall have full authority to prosecute, defend, settle, compromise or take any other action on behalf of the Sellers with respect to any claim for indemnification under ARTICLE VIII. The Indemnitor may acknowledge and agree by notice to the Indemnified Party in writing to satisfy in full such claim within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnitor shall dispute such claim, the Indemnitor shall provide written notice of such dispute to the Indemnified Party within such ten (10) day period. If the Indemnitor shall fail to provide written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnitor either acknowledges and agrees to pay such claim in full or disputes such claim, the Indemnitor shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to pay such claim in full and to have waived any right to dispute such claim, and shall promptly pay such claim in full. The failure to provide a Claim Notice as provided in this Section 8.5 (including the failure to timely deliver the Claim Notice and the

failure to provide sufficient detail of the claim) shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

Section 8.6Third Person Claims

(a)Any party seeking indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any third Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) shall notify the Indemnitor in writing, and in reasonable detail (to the extent known), of the Third Party Claim within ten (10) days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim. The failure to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 8.6 (including the failure to timely deliver the notice and the failure to provide sufficient detail of the claim) shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b)If the Indemnitor provides a written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after its receipt of notice of a Third Party Claim that it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party and will indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from all Losses and Expenses related to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnitor (at the expense of such Indemnitor) to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim or any legal proceeding with a third party resulting therefrom; provided, however, that: (i) the counsel for the Indemnitor who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); and (ii) the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense (such expense to be borne by the Indemnified Party only, at all times during which the Indemnitor has properly assumed and maintained such defense). The parties hereto agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense against a Third Party Claim if: (i) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation, or investigation; (ii) the claim seeks an injunction, specific performance, or any other equitable or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party or that there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor which differ; (iv) the Indemnitor fails to satisfy the Indemnified Party that it has the financial ability to satisfy all Third Party Claims; (v) the party bringing the claim is a customer or supplier of the Indemnified Party or the claims relate to employee or regulatory matters, provided, however, that in any such instance the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in any and all meetings and settlement discussions and negotiations; (vi) the Indemnifying Party has not unconditionally agreed in writing to Indemnify the Indemnified Party from all Losses relating to such Third Party Claims; or (vii) the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that the Third Party Claim may adversely affect it or any Affiliate other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to relief under this Agreement. The Indemnitor shall provide, upon request of the Indemnified Party from time to time, updates and copies of all filings,

notices, communications and other material information regarding Indemnitor’s defense of any Third Party Claim. Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no Indemnitor, in the defense of any Third Party Claim, shall consent or agree to any settlement or entry of any judgment or Court Order or enter into any settlement that: (i) includes a finding or admission of any breach of Law or the rights of any Person; (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party and its Affiliates of a general release (without payment by, or cost or expense to, or adverse impact upon, the Indemnified Party) from any and all Liability directly or indirectly relating to such Third Party Claim; (iii) that does not provide for the Indemnitor to fully pay and discharge all Liabilities directly or indirectly relating to the applicable Third Party Claims; or (iv) could have any adverse effect on any Indemnified Party with respect to any other Third Party Claims.

(c)If the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of a Third Party Claim within ten (10) days after receipt of the written notice thereof from the Indemnified Party described, the Indemnified Party shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or demand. If the Indemnitor elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise, and defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from, or relating to such Third Party Claim. In the event the Indemnitor unreasonably (and objectively, in light of the particular circumstances and facts related to such Third Party Claim and settlement terms thereof) fails to accept any settlement offer made by the opposing party or its counsel with respect to any Third Party Claim (unless such failure is at the direction of the Indemnified Party), any such amounts ultimately payable with respect thereto in excess of such settlement offer (including settlement and defense costs and judgments) shall be paid by the Indemnitor without regard to any limitations and such amounts shall not be considered with respect to the Cap.

Section 8.7Determination of Indemnification Amounts.

(a)The amount of any and all Losses and Expenses under this ARTICLE VIII shall be determined net of any (i) net Tax benefits arising from the deductibility of any such Losses and Expenses calculated on a with and without basis received by the Indemnified Party prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Loss or Expense, and (ii) amounts actually received by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies (other than the R&W Insurance Policy, which shall be treated as provided in the last four sentences of this Section 8.7(a)) with respect to such Losses and Expenses, less the costs of collection, investigation, co-payments and premium increases related to the underlying claim. For the purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, the Tax benefits are limited to actual reductions in Taxes payable by the Buyer as a result of the deductibility of the applicable Losses and Expenses. The Buyer shall have no obligation to seek recourse to (or to mitigate damages by seeking recourse to) the R&W Insurance Policy. In the event that Buyer actually receives proceeds from the R&W Insurance Policy with respect to a particular Loss as to which Buyer has already actually received indemnity proceeds hereunder for such Loss, Buyer will pay over to the Sellers’ Representative such duplicative amount if and to the extent Losses for which Buyer has received or claimed indemnity hereunder have not been limited by the limitations herein. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference to the R&W Insurance Policy shall not be a reference to or include any

supplemental policy acquired after the Closing by Buyer relating to indemnities that are excluded from the R&W Insurance Policy.

(b)In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of punitive damages (except in the case of fraud, intentional or willful breach, violation or defaults or to the extent actually awarded pursuant to a Third Party Claim). Any indemnification payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

(c)In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from third Persons any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which an Indemnitor has indemnified it pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnitor any amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery) to the extent duplicative of Indemnified Party’s recovery from the Indemnitor under this ARTICLE VIII.

(d)Each of the parties agrees to take all reasonable steps required by applicable Law to mitigate their respective Losses and Expenses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which should reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses and Expenses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

(e)Buyer shall have no right to indemnification under Section 8.2 with respect to any Loss or alleged Loss to the extent that Buyer has received a reduction in the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4 on account of any matter forming the basis of such Loss or alleged Loss and indemnification for such Loss or alleged Loss (I) would constitute a recovery duplicative of such Purchase Price reduction or (II) relates to a matter the Arbitrating Accountant specifically determined against the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(c) and reflects the same (and duplicative) claim, standards and legal theory based on the facts known to Buyer at the time of the determination under Section 2.4(c). By way of example only, if the Arbitrating Accountant determines against Buyer under Section 2.4(c) on a claim based upon Agreed Accounting Principles, Buyer shall not be precluded from bringing an incrementally different claim for indemnification based upon GAAP.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the settlement of any amount under Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 shall not preclude or diminish a claim under this ARTICLE VIII except to the extent that the same would constitute a duplicative recovery.

Section 8.8 Remedy. Except in the event of fraud, with respect to the Arbitrating Accountant or pursuant to Section 9.14, each party acknowledges and agrees that, its sole monetary remedy with respect to any and all claims relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except in the event of fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentations, the Indemnity Escrow Account shall be the sole source of funds for satisfaction of all claims by any Buyer Group Member for Losses or Expenses in connection with, arising out of or resulting from the breach, violation or default of any representation or

warranty in ARTICLE V other than any Fundamental Representation. The cost of any representation and warranty insurance policy obtained by Buyer in connection with this Agreement shall be borne by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, but subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII, Buyer may seek recourse against any Escrow Account and any Seller, without regard to any coverage under any representation and warranty insurance policy that it may procure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall any Seller have any claim, defense or other right against any Company (including without limitation for indemnity or subrogation, under contract, in tort or otherwise) for any breach, violation or default of this Agreement or Law by any Company.

ARTICLE IX

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all claims (and matters relating thereto) properly made prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and shall survive until finally resolved.

Section 9.2No Public Announcement. None of Buyer, the Sellers, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdco or Polytrade Holdco shall, and each of them shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates, agents, representatives, and professionals not to, without the approval of the others, make any press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that any such party shall be so obligated by Law, in which case the other party shall be advised and the parties shall use their reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude communications or disclosures necessary to

implement the provisions of this Agreement or to comply with the accounting and the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure obligations or the rules of any stock exchange.

(b)Following the Closing, in the event and for so long as Buyer actively is involved in, contesting or defending against any Action in connection with any fact, situation, circumstances, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, Tax matter, failure to act, or transaction involving any Company, each Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate reasonably with Buyer and Buyer’s counsel in such involvement, contest or defense, and provide such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with such contest or defense, all at the sole reasonable cost and expense of Buyer (unless Buyer is entitled to indemnification therefor hereunder).

Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Disclosure Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Disclosure Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Disclosure Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the Ordinary Course, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not in the Ordinary Course for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.8Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach, violation or default of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a further or continuing waiver or a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, violation or default.

Section 9.9Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and independent public accountants, regardless of whether the transactions provided for in this Agreement are consummated; provided, however, that all Seller Expenses shall be paid at Closing in accordance with the Payment Instructions Letter.

Section 9.10Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal

or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

Section 9.11Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the Sellers’ Representative, Polytrade Holdco, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdco and Buyer. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, portable document format, or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 9.12Further Assurances. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all action, to do or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws or otherwise to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the execution and delivery of such instruments, and the taking of such other actions as the other party hereto may reasonably require in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

Section 9.13Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the schedules and exhibits hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal Law of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all schedules and exhibits hereto), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive Law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply. Each of the parties submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in New Castle County, State of Delaware, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any Surety Bond or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of the party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.3. Nothing in this Section 9.13, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. The parties recognize that this Section 9.13 shall be read in

conjunction with and subject to the provisions herein with respect to the determinations to be made by the Arbitrating Accountant. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 9.14Specific Performance. Sellers, Polytrade Holdco, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdco and Buyer acknowledge that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach, violation or default of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at Law. Accordingly, the parties agree that such non-breaching party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor at Law or in equity, to enforce their rights and the other party’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of Surety Bond or other security).

Section 9.15General Release. Each Seller, on behalf of itself, himself or herself and its, his or her Affiliates (other than the Companies) and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, shareholders, partners, members, agents, employees, successors and assigns, as applicable (the “Releasing Parties”), does hereby release and forever discharge the Companies and Buyer and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, partners, members, agents, employees, successors and assigns, as applicable (collectively, the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all Actions, claims, actions, causes of action, demands, suits, covenants, agreements, representations, obligations, costs, liabilities, expenses, losses and debts of any nature whatsoever, both at Law and in equity, relating to any matter, claim or right, whether presently known or unknown, which they have now, ever had or may have against such Released Parties, in each case arising from or relating to any facts or events occurring at or prior to the Closing, in each case, other than (i) those obligations arising under or contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated herein or any document or certificate required to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith; (ii) any claims for which the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim first arise following Closing; or (iii) claims relating to or arising out of fraud or willful or intentional misconduct. The Releasing Parties shall not, and no one on their behalf shall, assert or file any claim, complaint, charge, suit or action against any Released Party arising out of any matter released pursuant to this Section 9.15. The Releasing Parties acknowledge that they may hereafter discover facts different from, or in addition to, those which they now believe to be true with respect to any and all of the claims released in this and no additional fact shall affect the validity or enforceability of the releases contained in this The Releasing Parties acknowledge that they are fully informed and aware of their rights to receive independent legal advice regarding the advisability of the releases contemplated hereby and have received such independent legal advice as they deem necessary with regard to the advisability thereof. The Releasing Parties further acknowledge that they have made an investigation of the facts pertaining to the releases contemplated hereby as they have deemed necessary, and, further, acknowledge that they have not relied upon any statement or representation of others. If any Releasing Party owns any rights in any Intellectual Property owned or used by any of the Companies, such Releasing Party shall, and hereby does, transfer all of its rights, title and

interest in such Intellectual Property to the Companies for no additional consideration. At or after the Closing, each Releasing Party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and take such other actions as Buyer or any Company shall reasonably request to give effect to the provisions hereof. Each Seller agrees that this Section 9.15 is enforceable and agrees to cause all of its Releasing Parties not to take any action inconsistent with such enforceability. For the avoidance of doubt, the release set forth herein shall not constitute a release of any claim arising, accruing and occurring after the Closing with respect to facts and events occurring after Closing relating to an employment agreement between a Releasing Party and a Company that survives the Closing.

Section 9.16Fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties shall retain all of its rights and remedies with respect to claims based on fraud.

Section 9.17Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no remedy in this Agreement conferred upon a party hereto is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. No single or partial exercise by a party hereto of any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof.

Section 9.18Arm’s Length Negotiations. Each party to this Agreement expressly represents and warrants to all other parties that: (a) said party has had the opportunity to seek and has obtained the advice of his, her or its own legal, tax, and business advisors before executing this Agreement and all other ancillary agreements; and (b) this Agreement and all other ancillary agreements are the result of arm’s length negotiations conducted by and among the parties and their respective counsel.

Section 9.19Time of Essence. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Section 9.20Seller’s Post-Acquisition Use of Law Firm. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that (a) one or more of the Companies and Sellers have retained ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ LLP (“Law Firm”) to act as their counsel in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement and related agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (the “Transaction”) as well as other past and ongoing matters, (b) Law Firm has not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the Transaction, and (c) no Person other than the Companies and Sellers has the status of a Law Firm client for conflict of interest or any other purpose as a result thereof. Buyer (1) waives and will not assert, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to waive and not assert, any conflict of interest relating to Law Firm’s representation after the Closing of any Seller or Seller’s Affiliate in any matter involving the Transaction (including any litigation, arbitration, mediation, or other proceeding), and (2) consents to, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Companies and their Subsidiaries) to consent to, any such representation, even though in each case (x) the interests of such Seller and/or Seller’s Affiliate may be directly adverse to Buyer, the Companies, or any of their Subsidiaries, or (y) Law Firm may be handling other ongoing matters for Buyer, the Companies, or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 9.21Disclaimer of Warranties. Buyer acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities properties and projected operations of the Companies and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer has relied on the results of its own independent investigation. The Sellers, Polytrade Holdco and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdco make no representations or warranties with respect to any projections, forecasts or forward looking information provided to Buyer. There is no assurance that any projected or forecasted results will be achieved. EXCEPT AS TO THOSE MATTERS EXPRESSLY COVERED BY THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SELLERS, POLYTRADE HOLDCO AND ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ HOLDCO DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. Buyer acknowledges that neither the Sellers, Polytrade Holdco, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdco nor any of their representatives or Affiliates or any other Person has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any memoranda, charts or summaries heretofore made available by the Sellers, Polytrade Holdco, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdco or their representatives or Affiliates to Buyer or any other information which is not included in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or any ancillary documents delivered in connection with this Agreement, and none of the Sellers, Polytrade Holdco, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdco or any of their representatives or Affiliates or any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any other Person resulting from the distribution of any such information to, or use of any such information by, Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any of their agents, consultants, accountants, counsel or other representatives. This Section 9.21 is subject to Section 9.16.
