Buyer shall have no right to amend or otherwise revise the Preliminary Closing Statement after it is delivered to Seller. The post-Closing adjustment to the Estimated Purchase Price set forth in this Section 2.3(b) is intended solely to measure changes in the applicable purchase price adjustment components as of the Adjustment Time, consistent with the Accounting Methodology.

(c)Dispute Resolution Procedures.

(i)If Seller disagrees with ▇▇▇▇▇’s proposed calculation of the Final Purchase Price or any component thereof, including the calculation of the Closing Date Debt, Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Net Working Capital, and the resulting Closing Date Net Working Capital Adjustment, Closing Date Company Transaction Expenses or the Rollover PTO Amount, as set forth in the Preliminary Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b), Seller may, until 11:59 p.m. on the date that is forty-five (45) days after Seller’s receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement (the “Review Period”), deliver a notice to Buyer (an “Objection Notice”) providing reasonable detail of the reasons for such disagreement and setting forth Seller’s calculation of the items and amounts in dispute; provided that the Review Period will automatically be tolled for each day during any period in which Buyer fails to comply with its obligations in Section 2.3(e) and for five (5) calendar days thereafter. Any Objection Notice shall specify all items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees, and Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts not objected to in the Objection Notice, set forth in the Preliminary Closing Statement. Seller shall have the right to amend its Objection Notice, including to make new objections and/or present revised positions and objections to the Accounting Firm solely to the extent Buyer provides or makes available to Seller information after the delivery of the Objection Notice that impacts or affects positions taken by Seller in the Objection Notice; provided, that any such amendment shall be delivered to Buyer within five (5) calendar days following Buyer’s provision of such information and limited solely to those specific items, line items, or positions in the Objection Notice that are directly affected by such newly provided or made available information, and Seller shall not be permitted to (A) raise any new objection or dispute any item not included in the original Objection Notice except to the extent such new objection arises directly from such newly provided or made available information, (B) revise any position set forth in the original Objection Notice that is unrelated to such newly provided or made available information, or (C) increase the aggregate amount in dispute beyond the amount attributable to the impact of such newly provided or made available information on the specific items so affected.

(ii)If Seller timely delivers an Objection Notice pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i), Seller and Buyer shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery (or such longer period as they may agree), negotiate in good faith to reach written agreement on the disputed items or amounts. The matters set forth in any written resolution executed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be final and binding on the Parties on the date of such written resolution. If Buyer does not timely deliver the Preliminary Closing Statement, then Seller shall, in its sole discretion upon notice to Buyer, have the ability to (i) deem the Estimated Closing Statement as the Preliminary Closing Statement and provide an Objection Notice thereto, or (ii) deem the figures set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement as the Final Closing Statement for purposes of the Final Purchase Price.

(iii)If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach such agreement during such thirty (30) day period, they shall, unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Buyer (email being sufficient) promptly (and in any event, within forty-five (45) days) thereafter submit any matters in dispute to BDO or if BDO is unwilling or unable to act, another independent nationally certified public accounting firm mutually acceptable, nationally recognized independent accounting firm with whom neither Seller nor Buyer have any current professional relationship (the “Accounting Firm”) for resolution. The Accounting Firm shall be jointly retained by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller and shall make a final and binding determination with respect to the computation of the Final Purchase Price, including each of the components thereof, to the extent such amounts are in dispute. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve all remaining disagreements with respect to the computation of the Final Purchase Price, including each of the components thereof, as soon as practicable. No Party or any Affiliate or

Representative of a Party will meet, discuss or engage in communications with respect to any substantive matters with the Accounting Firm without Buyer and Seller and their respective Representatives present or having the opportunity following at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to be present, either in person or by telephone or video call. The Accounting Firm may also require a Party to answer questions that it deems relevant to the resolution of the dispute. All materials and information (including answers to questions) submitted to the Accounting Firm must be concurrently delivered to each other Party. The Accounting Firm will act as an expert, and not an arbitrator, and will resolve only the disputed items that have been referred to it pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) and only in accordance with the procedures and terms set forth in this Agreement, without regard to principles of equity. The Accounting Firm will have no authority or power to alter, modify, amend, add to or subtract from any term or provision of this Agreement. The Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in Buyer’s and Seller’s respective calculations of the proposed Final Purchase Price, including each of the components thereof, that are identified as being items and amounts to which Buyer and Seller have been unable to agree and not consider any settlement offers or negotiations exchanged between the Parties prior to engagement of the Accounting Firm. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party in the Preliminary Closing Statement or Objection Notice, as applicable. The Accounting Firm’s determination of the Final Purchase Price, including each of the components thereof, shall be based solely on the submissions and information provided by the Parties (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions included herein. The determination of the Accounting Firm hereunder shall include the Accounting Firm’s rationale, and absent Fraud or manifest error, shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall not be subject to appeal or further review.

(iv)The Accounting Firm will determine the allocation of its fees and expenses between Buyer and Seller in connection with a dispute pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s resolution of the disputed items (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the disputed items as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm, including each of the components thereof. For example, if the total amount of the disputed items as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm equal $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of Seller’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm would be borne by ▇▇▇▇▇ and forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm would be borne by Seller. Prior to the Accounting Firm’s determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.3(c), (A) Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of any retainer paid to the Accounting Firm and (B) during the engagement of the Accounting Firm, the Accounting Firm will bill fifty percent (50%) of the total charges to each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand. In connection with the Accounting Firm’s determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.3(c), the Accounting Firm shall also determine, pursuant to the terms of the first and second sentences of this Section 2.3(c)(iv), and taking into account all fees and expenses already paid by each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, as of the date of such determination, the allocation of its fees and expenses between Buyer and Seller, which such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

(v)The Preliminary Closing Statement (and each of the components thereof) shall become final and binding on the Parties (A) on the date that Seller provides notice to Buyer that it deems the Estimated Closing Statement the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(ii), (B) on the forty-sixth (46th) day (as may be tolled as provided herein) following the delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement if an Objection Notice has not been delivered to Buyer by Seller, (C) with such changes as are necessary to reflect matters resolved pursuant to any written resolution executed pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(ii), on the date such resolution is executed, if all outstanding matters relating to the Preliminary Closing Statement are resolved through such resolution, or (D) with such changes as are necessary to reflect the Accounting Firm’s resolution of the matters in dispute (together with any changes necessary to reflect matters previously resolved pursuant to any written resolution executed pursuant to this Agreement and any matters not disputed pursuant to an Objection Notice), on the date the Accounting Firm delivers its final, binding resolution pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(iii) (the Preliminary Closing Statement in such applicable form described above, the “Final Closing Statement”).

(d)Final Payment. Upon finalization of the Final Closing Statement as provided in Section 2.3(c):

(i)If the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, then as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Final Purchase Price as provided in Section 2.3(c), Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Seller an amount in cash equal to the amount by which the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price.

(ii)If the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price, then as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Final Purchase Price as provided in Section 2.3(c), Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Buyer an amount in cash equal to the amount by which the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price.

(e)Cooperation. From and after delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement to Seller until the Final Purchase Price is finally determined in accordance with the Final Closing Statement, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Representative to, cooperate and make available to one another and their respective Representative and, if applicable, the Accounting Firm, to the extent necessary, at reasonable times and with reasonable advance notice, such books, Contracts, records, work papers and appropriate personnel and other information (including work papers, and access to members of Party’s accounting and financial staff and outside accountants) as any of the foregoing may reasonably request, in each case, to prepare, review or recalculate the items set forth on the Preliminary Closing Statement (including the calculation of Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Debt, Closing Date Net Working Capital, and the resulting Closing Date Net Working Capital Adjustment, Closing Date Company Transaction Expenses, and the Rollover PTO Amount), or any matters in dispute (including those submitted to the Accounting Firm). Buyer and Seller each acknowledge and waive any actual or potential conflict of Employees assisting Seller and Buyer as described in this Section 2.3, and will not, and will cause the Company not to, prevent or limit such access by Seller.

(f)No Duplication; Accounting Methodology. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) for all purposes of this Section 2.3, including the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement, the Preliminary Closing Statement and the Final Closing Statement and the resolution of any dispute by the Accounting Firm and the determination of the Estimated Purchase Price, the Final Purchase Price and each component thereof, no asset, liability, obligation, amount or other item, or the economic benefit or burden thereof, shall be taken into account more than once, whether as Cash, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital, Company Transaction Expenses or otherwise; and (ii) subject to the express definitions set forth in this Agreement, for the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Preliminary Closing Statement, the resolution of any dispute by the Accounting Firm and the determination of the Estimated Purchase Price, the Final Purchase Price and each component thereof, the Illustrative Net Working Capital Calculation set forth on Exhibit C shall provide the illustrative framework to calculate the Net Working Capital. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or ambiguity between the Accounting Methodology set forth on Exhibit B and the Illustrative Net Working Capital Calculation set forth on Exhibit C, the provisions set forth on Exhibit B shall control.

(g)Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.3 and Section 6.10 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price by the parties hereto for U.S. federal, state and local Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

2.4Withholding. Buyer will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration pursuant to this Agreement to Seller or any other Person such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment; provided that, other than with respect to any deduction or withholding on account of a compensatory payment or a failure by Seller to provide an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller with reasonable advance written notice of the intent to deduct and withhold, which shall include a copy of the calculation of the amount to be deducted and withheld and any provision of applicable U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Law pursuant to which such deduction or withholding is required, and shall provide Seller with a reasonable opportunity to provide any form, documentation or other evidence that would exempt such amounts from withholding or otherwise reduce or mitigate such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so properly deducted and withheld and remitted by Buyer to the applicable Governmental Body, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding had been made.

Filing fees associated with filings, notifications, registrations, submissions or other materials required by the HSR Act or other applicable Competition Laws shall be borne by Buyer. Subject to applicable Law and appropriate confidentiality protections, each Party shall furnish to the other Party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other Party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 6.3, on or before October 23, 2026, Buyer, Guarantor and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, make, or cause to be made, all filings and submissions and provide, or cause to be provided, as promptly as practicable information and documents requested or required to be submitted to any Governmental Antitrust Entity, including filing any notification and report form and related material required under the HSR Act or any other applicable Competition Law (the “HSR Filing”). Buyer and Guarantor shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to (A) include in each filing or submission a request for early termination or acceleration of any applicable waiting or review periods, to the extent available under the applicable Laws, (B) take any and all actions necessary as may be required to cause the expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act or other applicable Competition Laws with respect to the Transaction as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement, (C) comply promptly with any such inquiry or request by any Governmental Body, including requests for production of documents and production of witnesses for interviews or depositions, (D) certify compliance with any request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Antitrust Entity to the HSR Filing (“Second Request”) promptly after receipt of such Second Request, and (E) produce information and documents on a rolling basis, consistent with obtaining approval under any other applicable Competition Law, as set forth on Schedule 3.4(b).

(c)Buyer and Guarantor shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, further use reasonable best efforts to take any and all actions necessary to avoid or eliminate any impediment under any Law and resolve any objections that may be asserted by any Governmental Antitrust Entity, so as to enable the Parties to expeditiously close the Transaction by no later than the Outside Date. In connection therewith, if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the Transaction as in violation of any Competition Law, Buyer and Guarantor shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such Action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other Order whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transaction, including by pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal and all available legislative action, unless, by mutual agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller decide that litigation is not in their respective best interests. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Guarantor shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, also:

(i)comply with all restrictions and conditions, if any, necessary to remove any impediments to Closing of the Transaction asserted by any Governmental Antitrust Entity or any Governmental Body under any Competition Laws in connection with granting any necessary clearance or terminating any applicable waiting period, including (1) offering, negotiating, agreeing to and effecting to sell, divest, hold separate, license, encumber, cause a third party to acquire, or otherwise dispose of, any operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, customers, rights or assets of Buyer, Guarantor or their respective Affiliates, including the Company, contemporaneously with or after the Closing and regardless as to whether a third-party buyer has been identified or approved prior to the Closing (a “Divestiture”), (2) taking or committing to take such other actions that may limit Buyer, Guarantor, their respective Affiliates, or the Company’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, customers or assets and (3) entering into any Order, consent or other agreement to effectuate any of the foregoing;

(ii)enter into, assign, amend, or terminate any Contract of Buyer or its Affiliates or other business relationship of Buyer or its Affiliates as may be required to obtain any necessary clearance of any Governmental Antitrust Entity or to obtain termination of any applicable waiting period under any Competition Laws; and

(iii)not extend any waiting period or enter into any tolling agreement or understanding with any Governmental Antitrust Entity without the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld if such extension, tolling agreement or understanding would not explicitly extend the applicable waiting period or otherwise delay the consummation of the Transaction beyond five (5) Business Days prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt Buyer, in consultation with Seller, shall have the ability to voluntarily withdraw and promptly refile any HSR Act notification pursuant to 16 CFR § 803.12; provided, further, than any such voluntarily withdrawal and refiling shall occur in a timely manner so as not to extend the initial waiting period for the refiling beyond five (5) Business Days prior to the Outside Date.

(d)Except as specifically required by this Agreement, Buyer and Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates or any other Buyer Related Person to, take any action, or refrain from taking any action, the effect of which would be to materially delay or impede the ability of the Parties to consummate the Transaction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates or any other Buyer Related Person to, acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any consents of any Governmental Antitrust Entity necessary to consummate the Transaction or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Antitrust Entity entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction; (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transaction.

(e)Buyer shall keep Seller apprised of the status of all filings and submissions referred to in this Section 6.3 and shall (i) promptly inform Seller of any oral communication with any Governmental Body, (ii) permit Seller to review and incorporate Seller’s reasonable comments in any communication given by it to any Governmental Body, and (iii) provide to Seller copies of all correspondence between it (or its advisors) and any Governmental Body relating to the Transaction or any of the matters described in this Section 6.3 in a manner that protects attorney-client or attorney work product privilege. Buyer, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates shall not independently participate in any formal meeting with any Governmental Body in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving Seller reasonable prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Body, the opportunity to attend or participate. Subject to applicable Law, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall consult and cooperate with Seller in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of Buyer, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates relating to, but not limited to, proceedings under the HSR Act or other applicable Competition Laws.

(f)Buyer and Guarantor shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, take promptly, in the event that any permanent or preliminary injunction or other Order is entered or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered in any Action that would make the consummation of the Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would prevent or delay consummation of the Transaction, any and all steps (including the appeal thereof, the posting of a bond or the taking of the steps contemplated by Section 6.3(c)) necessary to vacate, modify or suspend such injunction or Order so as to permit such consummation.

6.4Further Assurances. Other than as provided in Section 6.3 with respect to approvals of any Governmental Antitrust Entity which should be governed by Section 6.3, each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts (unless, with respect to any action, another standard of performance is expressly provided for herein, in which case such standard of performance shall apply) to take such actions as are reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to satisfy, to the extent within such Party’s control, the conditions to Closing set forth in ARTICLE 7 and applicable to such Party.

6.5Confidentiality.

(a)Buyer acknowledges that the information provided to it in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. In accordance with Section 8.3(b), effective upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be automatically extended until the date that is three (3) years following the date of such termination. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise permitted by this Section 6.5, for a period of three (3) years from the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, disclose to any Person any non-public information of a confidential or proprietary nature related to Gibraltar, Seller and each of their respective Affiliates (other than with respect to the Business), except to the extent necessary to consummate the Transaction or any Transaction Documents, any post-Closing Tax matters set forth in this Agreement, or if required to do so by applicable Law or Order, and except to the extent that such information enters the public domain through no fault of Buyer, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement. Buyer may disclose the terms and existence of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to their respective Affiliates and their respective Representatives that are subject to customary confidentiality obligations. If Buyer, its Affiliate or their respective Representative is required by applicable Law or Order to disclose any such non-public information, Buyer shall: (i) to the extent permissible under applicable Law, give Seller prompt written notice of such requirement so that Seller may have an opportunity to seek, at its sole cost and expense, an appropriate protective order or other remedy; and (ii) cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to obtain such protective order or other remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, Buyer, its Affiliate or their respective Representative, as applicable, shall furnish only that portion of such non-public information which, on the advice of its counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and, upon Seller’s written request and at Seller’s sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment (to the extent available) of such information.

6.6Directors and Officers Indemnification; Insurance.

(a)Buyer agrees that after the Closing, it shall not permit the Company to amend, repeal or modify any provision in its Organizational Documents in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses of present or former directors, managers, officers or Employees (collectively, the “D&O Indemnitees”) for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing (including in respect of any matters arising in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), it being the intent of the Parties that the directors, managers, officers and Employees of the Company prior to the Closing shall continue thereafter to be entitled to such exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Laws and the Company’s Organizational Documents, and Buyer agrees to cause the Company to perform in a timely manner and to otherwise honor such obligations in all respects.

(b)The obligations of Buyer under this Section 6.6 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnitee to whom such Section 6.6 applies without the written consent of the affected D&O Indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnitees to whom this Section 6.6 applies shall be express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.6). The rights of the D&O Indemnitees under this Section 6.6 shall be in addition to any rights such D&O Indemnitees may have under the Organizational Documents of the Company or under any applicable Contracts or Laws, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release or impair any rights to D&O Indemnitees’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company for any of its D&O Indemnitees (it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.6 is not in substitution of any such claims under such policies). The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the Closing.

(c)In the event any litigation, claim or proceeding (each, a “D&O Claim”) relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 6.6 is asserted or made, any determination required to be made with respect to whether a D&O Indemnitee’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under applicable Law, the Organizational Documents of the Company or any indemnification agreements or arrangements of the Company, as the case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by such D&O Indemnitee.

(d)Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense of any D&O Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(e)In the event that Buyer, the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys fifty percent (50%) or more of all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Buyer shall ensure that proper provision are made, so that the successors and assigns of Buyer and the Company shall assume all of the obligations of Buyer and the Company set forth in this Section 6.6.

6.7Preservation of Records. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) to, preserve and keep the records held by them relating to the Company’s business for a period of seven (7) years from the later of the Closing Date or the date of creation if after the Closing (or longer if required by applicable Law) and shall make such records and personnel available during normal business hours to Seller and its Affiliates (including the right to make copies at their expense) as may be reasonably required by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with, among other things, any Tax filings of Seller or its Affiliates, financial reporting, or securities or other compliance matters, any insurance claims by, Actions or Tax audits against or Governmental Body’s investigations of, Seller or its Affiliates or in order to enable Seller and its Affiliates to comply with their obligations under this Agreement and each of the Seller Documents, as applicable; provided that any such access does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Company. In the event Buyer wishes to destroy such records after that time, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall first give thirty (30) days prior written notice to Seller, and Seller and its Affiliates shall have the right, at their option and expense, upon prior written notice given to Buyer within such thirty (30) day period, to take possession of the records.

6.8Publicity; Public Filings

(a)Except (i) for Gibraltar’s, ▇▇▇▇▇’s and Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A.’s initial press release(s) upon announcement of the execution and delivery of this Agreement to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Initial Press Release”), or (ii) as otherwise agreed by the Parties, except as provided in Section 6.8(b) below, neither Party nor its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, issue any press release or public announcement concerning the Transaction without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict or prevent the Company from making any announcements to its Representatives, Employees, customers and other business relations to the extent Seller determines in good faith that such announcement is necessary or advisable. Subject to Section 6.8(b) below and except for the Initial Press Release, in the event any press release is required by applicable Law or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange, Buyer and Seller will use reasonable commercial efforts to consult with each other and allow the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment on such press release in advance of its issuance.

(b)Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent (a) Seller or its Affiliates from making any filings or disclosures required by Law (including any applicable securities Laws including the filing of SEC Form 8-K, 10-K, 10-Q and any registration statement), its current or future credit facilities or bond indentures or the rules of any stock exchange, or (b) any Person from enforcing its rights under this Agreement.

6.9Employees.

(a)(i) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing (or, if shorter, during any period of employment), Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company, its Affiliates or their respective successors, as applicable, to provide those employees who are employed by the Company on the Closing Date (including employees on vacation, leave of absence, or short or long-term disability) (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”) with base salary or wage rate, commission structure and opportunity for short-term cash bonus compensation (excluding any discretionary, one-time, signing, change in control, transaction, retention, long-term incentive or equity or equity-based compensation or opportunities), that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than those being provided or made available to the applicable Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing. (ii) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing (or, if shorter, during any period of employment), Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company, its Affiliates or their respective successors, as applicable, to provide to Continuing Employees employee benefits (excluding any defined benefit pension, post-employment welfare, equity or equity-based, nonqualified deferred compensation, retention, change in control and transaction benefits (collectively, “Excluded Benefits”)), including vacation, retirement, health, welfare and fringe benefits, that are substantially similar and no less favorable in the aggregate to those being provided or made available to similarly situated employees of Buyer or its Affiliates. (iii) For a period of three (3) years following the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company, their respective Affiliates and their respective successors, as applicable, to provide employment verification of Continuing Employees as reasonably requested by Seller in order for Seller to determine verify vested status of equity or equity-based compensation awarded to Continuing Employees by Gibraltar or its Affiliates prior to Closing.

(b)Contingent upon the Closing, the Company shall cease to be a participating employer in each Company Benefit Plan that is sponsored and maintained by one or more of its Affiliates, effective no later than the Business Day prior to the Closing Date for any Company Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (each, a “Seller 401(k) Plan”) and effective no later than the Closing Date for all other such Company Benefit Plans. As of the Closing Date (or such later date required by Law or the terms of the applicable Company Benefit Plan), each Continuing Employee shall cease to be an active participant under each of the Company Benefit Plans that is sponsored and maintained by one of the Company’s Affiliates, but will remain eligible to participate in any Company Benefit Plan that is directly sponsored or maintained by the Company. Without limitation of its obligations under Section 6.9(a) above, no later than the Closing Date, the Buyer or one of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) shall have in effect one or more defined contribution plans that include a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) in which the Continuing Employees may participate on terms that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those offered to similarly situated employees of Buyer or its Affiliates and the Continuing Employees shall be permitted to elect to roll over their individual account balances from the Seller 401(k) Plan as a direct rollover to the Buyer 401(k) Plan, and Buyer shall cause any Buyer 401(k) Plan to be amended to the extent necessary to accomplish the same.

(c)Without limitation of its obligations under Section 6.9(a) and Section 6.9(b) above, effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company, its Affiliates or their respective successors, as applicable, to offer Continuing Employees the opportunity to participate on terms that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those offered to similarly situated employees of Buyer or its Affiliates, in the health and welfare and employee benefit programs (other than Excluded Benefits) maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates.

(d)Upon and following the Closing, without limitation of its obligations under Section 6.9(a) and Section 6.9(b) above, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company, its Affiliates or their respective successors, as applicable, to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) provide Continuing Employees with full credit for all purposes, including eligibility, vesting, accrual, and calculation of vacation or severance benefits or other accruals, under any employee benefit plans or arrangements (other than Excluded Benefits) maintained by Buyer and its Affiliates, including the Company after the Closing (collectively, the “Buyer Plans”) for such Continuing Employees’ service with the Company (or any predecessor entity) earned prior to the Closing Date to the same extent recognized by the Company; provided, however, that no such service shall be recognized to the extent such recognition would result in the duplication of benefits; (ii) waive or cause to be waived all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions, evidence of insurability, actively-at-work requirements, and waiting periods applicable to Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under any Buyer Plan that is a welfare benefit plan that such Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents may be eligible to participate in after the Closing Date; and (iii) cause any deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums paid on or before the Closing by any Continuing Employee (or covered dependent thereof) to be recognized and taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing under any applicable Buyer Plan in the year of initial participation or applicable plan or benefit accumulation year.

(e)The provisions of this Section 6.9 are solely for the benefit of the Parties and shall not confer any third-party beneficiary rights upon any Person. Nothing contained in this Section 6.9, whether express or implied: (i) shall be treated as establishing, amending or modifying for any purpose any Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan; (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of Buyer, the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them; or (iii) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee of the Company or any other Person any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

(f)From the date hereof through the Closing, each of Seller and the Company shall cooperate with Buyer as reasonably requested in order to facilitate the timely transition of Continuing Employees from payroll and benefits programs of Seller and its Affiliates to the Buyer Plans. Following the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with each of Buyer and the Company to provide reasonably requested data extracts from Seller’s and its Affiliate’ payroll and HRIS systems including, but not limited to, payroll records, time and attendance reports, wage statements, and tax reporting forms. No later than January 31, 2027, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, direct their respective third party vendors, to produce and distribute W-2s to the Continuing Employees with regard to required wage reporting and complete required Affordable Care Act reporting for the period from January 1, 2026, through Closing.

6.10Tax Matters.

(a)Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes shall be borne and timely paid fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by ▇▇▇▇▇. The party required under applicable Law shall procure any stock transfer stamps required by any Transfer Tax, and timely file, to the extent required by applicable Law, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and the other parties shall reasonably cooperate in connection with the procurement of transfer stamps and preparation and filing of any Tax Return and other documentation, including by promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such Tax Returns or documentation or procure any transfer stamps. If required by Law, the other parties hereto shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or other documentation required to be filed pursuant to this Section 6.10(a).

(b)Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Seller (or any direct or indirect owner thereof, as applicable), at its sole cost and expense, shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file, or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns for any affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or similar Tax group of which the Company is or was a member for any taxable period of such group ending on or prior to the Closing Date or that includes the Closing Date (each such Tax Return described in this Section 6.10(b), a “Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return”). Seller shall prepare all Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Returns on a basis not inconsistent with procedures, practices and accounting methods of the applicable entity in existence as of the date hereof, unless otherwise required by applicable Law at a “more likely than not” or higher level of confidence (but solely with respect to any Tax items of the Company) or explicitly in accordance with this Agreement. Seller shall provide to Buyer draft copies of pro forma stand-alone federal and applicable state and local income Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period which shall be prepared in connection with any Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return (a “Company Pro Forma Return”) at least thirty (30) days before filing the applicable Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return to which Company Pro Forma Return relates (or, if such Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return is due within thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement, reasonably in advance of filing to allow Buyer sufficient time to review such Company Pro Forma Return). For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be required to provide Buyer with any Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return or any portion thereof that includes information with respect to any member of the Seller Group other than the Company. Seller shall consider in good faith any reasonable comment with respect to such Company Pro Forma Return, provided that the Buyer submits to the Seller such comments at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date of any such Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return.

(c)Other Tax Returns. Other than the Tax Returns described in Section 6.10(b), Buyer shall cause the Company, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, to prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of or with respect to the Company, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Tax Returns for any Straddle Period (a “Buyer Tax Return”). Buyer shall prepare all Buyer Tax Returns on a basis not inconsistent with (i) procedures, practices and accounting methods of the applicable entity in existence as of the date hereof, unless otherwise required by applicable Law at a “more likely than not” or higher level of confidence or explicitly in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) any pro forma stand-alone Tax Return provided to Buyer, in each case, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or in accordance with this Agreement. With respect to any such Buyer Tax Return that would (i) reasonably be expected to materially affect the Tax liability of Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) or (ii) affect any amount taken into account in the calculation or final determination of Closing Date Debt, Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Purchase Price or the Rollover PTO Amount, or give rise to an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 6.10(k), the Company shall deliver, at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Buyer Tax Return (taking into account extensions) to Seller a copy of each such Buyer Tax Return. Seller shall have the right to review and make reasonable comments on such Buyer Tax Returns. Buyer shall consider in good faith Seller’s comments (if any) regarding such Buyer Tax Returns, provided such comments are received by Buyer at least ten (10) days prior to the due date for filing.

(d)Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, payments, receipts or payroll of the Company for the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any liability for Taxes arising from any action on the Closing Date following the Closing that is outside the Ordinary Course of Business shall be allocated to the Post-Closing Tax Period to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(e)Transaction Tax Deductions. The Parties agree that (i) to the extent supportable under applicable Law at a “more likely than not” or higher level of comfort, all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes as attributable to or arising in the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Period and shall be claimed or otherwise reflected on the applicable income Tax Return of the Company or applicable Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return, as the case may be, for the taxable period that includes such Pre-Closing Tax Period, and (ii) in furtherance of the foregoing, the safe-harbor election of Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2011-29 (or corresponding state or local election) shall be made on each applicable Tax Return for any “success-based fees” to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Seller shall have the sole authority to determine the manner in which Transaction Tax Deductions are reported on any Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return, subject to the standards set forth in this Section 6.10(e) and the procedures of Section 6.10(b).

(f)Tax Claims.

(i)If Buyer or its Affiliates receives notice of any Action with respect to Taxes (a “Tax Claim”) of or with respect to the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the Pre-Closing Tax Period of a Straddle Period), Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing. If Seller or its Affiliates receive notice of a Tax Claim with respect to the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the Pre-Closing Tax Period of a Straddle Period), Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of such claim.

(ii)Seller and its Affiliates (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company) shall have the exclusive right to control (at their expense) any Tax Claim with respect to any Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return (a “Seller Tax Claim”); provided that, (1) Seller shall control any such Seller Tax Claim diligently and in good faith, (2) Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding the status of any such Seller Tax Claim, including providing copies of written communications in connection therewith, and (3) Buyer and its Affiliates shall have the right to participate, at their own expense and subject to customary confidentiality, non-disclosure and privilege protections, in any Seller Tax Claim solely to the extent such Seller Tax Claim relates specifically to the Company and would reasonably be expected to result in a material increase in Taxes payable by Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates in a Post-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that (A) Buyer’s rights set forth in clause (2) above and right to participate as set forth in clause (3) above shall be limited to the portion of any such Seller Tax Claim which relates solely to the Company and (B) Seller shall not settle or compromise any such Seller Tax Claim to the extent such settlement or compromise relates specifically to the Company and would reasonably be expected to result in a material increase in the Tax liability of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall not be entitled to receive any Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return or any Tax Return of any member of the Seller Group (other than the Company). Seller shall provide Buyer such information relating solely to the Company as is reasonably necessary for Buyer to exercise its participation rights pursuant to this Section 6.10(f)(ii), subject to customary confidentiality, non-disclosure and privilege protections.

(iii)Other than any Seller Tax Claim, Buyer and its Affiliates shall have the exclusive right to control (at their expense) any Tax Claim with respect to any Buyer Tax Return and any Tax Claim with respect to any Sales Taxes Liability (a “Buyer Tax Claim”); provided that, (A) Buyer shall control any such Buyer Tax Claim diligently and in good faith, (B) Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed regarding the status of any such Buyer Tax Claim, including providing copies of written communications in connection therewith, and (C) Seller and its Affiliates shall have the right to participate, at their own expense and subject to customary confidentiality, non-disclosure and privilege protections, in any Buyer Tax Claim, provided, further that Seller and its Affiliates’ right to participate in a Buyer Tax Claim shall be to the extent such Buyer Tax Claim would reasonably be expected to (x) result in a material increase in the Tax liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates or give rise to an indemnification claim for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Agreement or (y) affect any amount taken into account in the calculation or final determination of Closing Date Debt, Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Purchase Price or the Rollover PTO Amount; provided, further, that Buyer shall not settle or compromise any such Buyer Tax Claim to the extent such settlement or compromise would reasonably be expected to have an effect described in clause (x) or (y) above without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(g)Post-Closing Actions.

(i)Without the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Buyer will not, and will not permit any Affiliate of Buyer (including the Company) to, (i) file, amend, refile, revoke, supplement or otherwise modify any Tax Return of the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return, (ii) make, change or revoke any Tax election, accounting period, accounting method or practice of the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) seek or request any private letter ruling from the IRS or comparable written rulings or guidance issued by any Taxing Authority with respect to Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) agree to waive or extend the statute of limitations relating to any Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (v) settle or compromise any Tax Claim with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (vi) enter into any “closing agreement” (as described in Section 7121 of the Code, or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law) or similar agreement with any Taxing Authority with respect to Taxes of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (vii) take any action on the Closing Date after the Closing that is outside of the Ordinary Course of Business and not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, or (viii) except as set forth in Section 6.10(g)(iii), initiate or participate in any voluntary disclosure program or agreement, Tax amnesty or similar procedure, or otherwise make any voluntary contact with any Governmental Body (a “VDA”) for the purpose of identifying, disclosing, resolving or compromising any actual or potential Tax liability of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, to the extent such action would reasonably be expected to (A) materially increase the Tax liability of Seller or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or under applicable Law (or materially reduce any Tax refund, credit or other Tax asset of Seller or any of its Affiliates) or (B) affect any amount taken into account in the calculation or final determination of Closing Date Debt, Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Purchase Price or the Rollover PTO Amount.

(ii)Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company) not to, take any action with respect to the Company subsequent to the Closing that would cause the transactions contemplated hereby to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the “Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter” described in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2001-16, 2001-1 C.B. 730, and Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008-20 I.R.B. 2008-6 (January 17, 2008), and Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008-111 I.R.B. 1299 (December 1, 2008).

(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to take any action, including initiating or participating in any VDA, in each case, to the extent reasonably required to resolve or mitigate any Sales Taxes Liability; provided, however, that prior to taking any action with respect to any VDA, Buyer shall use good faith efforts to cooperate with Seller in determining the extent to which the applicable Sales Taxes Liabilities are actually due and payable under applicable Law and, to the extent any such liabilities are determined to be due and payable, whether any other reasonable method is available under applicable Law to resolve or mitigate such liabilities (including obtaining any available Tax clearance certificates, letters or equivalent written confirmations from the applicable Taxing Authority). The procedures and responsibilities set forth Section 6.10(f)(iii) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any VDA or other action taken by Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.10(g)(iii).

(h)Code Section 338 or Section 336 Election. Buyer shall not make and shall not permit any Affiliate to make any election under Section 338 or Section 336 of the Code (or any similar provision under state, local or non-U.S. Law) with respect to the acquisition of the Company Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

(i)Closing of Tax Period. The Parties shall, to the extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period of the Company for all Tax purposes. Buyer shall cause the Company to join Buyer’s “consolidated group” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-1(h)) effective on the day after the Closing Date. The Parties agree that Buyer and its Affiliates and the Company (i) shall not make an election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D) to ratably allocate items (or any similar election to ratably allocate items under any corresponding provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) and (ii) shall not apply the “next day” rule of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) with respect to any of the Transaction Tax Deductions. The Parties agree to treat any gains, income, deductions, losses and other items realized by the Company for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes with respect to any transaction outside the ordinary course of business engaged in by the Company on the Closing Date, which occurs after the Closing at the direction of Buyer or its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any election made pursuant to Section 338(g) of the Code), but excluding any transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(j)Cooperation. Following the Closing, each of Buyer and the Company, on one hand, and Seller shall cooperate with the other Party, and make available to the other Party during normal business hours, all books and records, information and employees retained and remaining in existence after the Closing that are necessary or useful in connection with the preparation of any Tax Returns of the Company and any Tax Claim, VDA or any other matter requiring any such books and records, information or employees for any reasonable business purpose. Following the Closing, each of Buyer and Seller shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company to, retain and provide to the other Party and its Affiliates upon their reasonable request all applicable Tax Returns, books and records, workpapers and other information attributable to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date, provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 6.10(j) shall not require Seller to provide any Seller Group Pre-Closing Tax Return (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Company Pro Forma Return).

(k)Special Tax Indemnity.

(i)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Gibraltar shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates from and against any and all Actual Losses incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to, (A) any Sales Taxes Liabilities, (B) any Seller Group Tax Liabilities (collectively, the “Indemnified Taxes”); provided, however, that Indemnified Taxes shall not include any amounts included as a liability in the calculation of Indebtedness or Net Working Capital or otherwise reflected in the Final Purchase Price, as finally determined, and (C) the Purported Tax Lien. For purposes of this Section 6.10(k), the term “Actual Losses” shall mean (1) the amount of such applicable Indemnified Taxes required to be paid by the Company or Buyer (and their respective Affiliates) to the applicable Taxing Authority pursuant to a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision under state, local or non-U.S. Law) or any other final resolution of any VDA or Tax Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (2) all reasonable, out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the resolution of such applicable Indemnified Taxes. The amount of any Actual Losses subject to indemnification under this Section 6.10(k)(i) shall be reduced by the Tax Benefit attributable to such Actual Losses.

(ii)The aggregate amount of all Actual Losses for which Gibraltar will be liable shall not exceed, with respect to Section 6.10(k)(i)(A), an amount equal to $1,980,000 (after netting applicable Tax Benefits).

(iii)Payment in full of any amount due from Gibraltar under this Section 6.10(k) shall be made to Buyer in immediately available funds at least two (2) Business Days before the date payment of the Taxes to which such payment relates is due, or, if no Tax is payable, within ten (10) days after written demand is made for such payment; provided that, no later than ten (10) days before any payment is due from Gibraltar pursuant to this Section 6.10(k), Buyer shall provide Gibraltar with written notice specifying the amount of such payment and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for, and calculation of, such amount.

(iv)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 6.10(k) shall survive, in the case of any Sales Taxes Liabilities and the Purported Tax Lien, until the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date and, with respect to any Seller Group Tax Liabilities for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus ninety (90) days.

(v)All indemnification payments made under this Section 6.10(k) shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to Final Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

(vi)For purposes of this Section 6.10(k), Buyer and its Affiliates shall be deemed to have an aggregate effective income Tax rate of ten percent (10%), and the “Tax Benefit” with respect or attributable to any Actual Losses or any other applicable amount shall be deemed to equal ten percent (10%) of such Actual Losses or other amount. For purposes of calculating such Tax Benefit, Buyer and its Affiliates shall be deemed to have fully realized and recognized such Tax Benefit in the taxable year in which the applicable Actual Losses or other applicable amounts are first incurred or paid, as applicable, without regard to whether any corresponding Tax deduction, credit or other Tax Benefit is actually available to, realized or recognized by the Company, Buyer or any of its Affiliates in such taxable year or any subsequent taxable year.

6.11R&W Insurance Policy.

(a)Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, amend the subrogation or third-party beneficiary provisions contained in the R&W Insurance Policy benefiting Seller or otherwise amend, modify or terminate the R&W Insurance Policy in a manner materially adverse to the rights of Seller, any Seller Related Person, their respective Affiliates, and/or any of their respective Representatives in accordance with Section 5.11(a)(i) without the prior written consent of Seller, including by granting any right of subrogation, contribution or other similar right. Buyer agrees to pay 100% of the R&W Premium and Underwriting Costs. ▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that the effectiveness of the R&W Insurance Policy is not a condition to the Closing, and Buyer shall remain obligated, subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7, to consummate the Transaction. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy shall not in any way impede or delay the Closing. Prior to or at the Closing, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller a copy of the R&W Insurance Policy upon it becoming conditionally bound and upon it being bound and issued.

(b)Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the R&W Insurance Policy obtained by Buyer, whether or not Losses are covered and payable under the R&W Insurance Policy, shall, except in the case of Fraud with respect to the Express Representations and specific performance in accordance with Section 10.1, be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and Buyer Related Persons (including, from and after the Closing, the Company), in Law, equity or otherwise, arising out of, or related to any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty by Seller or the Company contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document.

6.12Release of Guarantees.

(a)Prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to, effective as of the Closing, on terms reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller: (i) terminate or cause to be terminated, or, if required for the continued operation of the Company post-Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business, cause Buyer or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller and any of its Affiliates (other than the Company) (each, a “Guarantee Released Party”) in respect of all Liabilities of each of the Guarantee Released Party under each guarantee, deposit, letter of credit or commitment of payment of or relating to Liabilities (including under any indemnity agreement with respect to the Surety Bonds, any other Contract or other personal property lease) of the Company, including those set forth on Schedule 6.12(a)(i) (the “Guarantees”); and (ii) cause Buyer or one of its Affiliates to have surety bonds (and any necessary collateral, indemnity or other agreements associated therewith), or other security acceptable to the applicable obligee, issued on behalf of Buyer or one of its Affiliates in replacement of all surety bonds (and all collateral, indemnity and other agreements associated therewith) issued on behalf of the Guarantee Released Parties for the benefit of the Company that is required for the continued operation of the Company in the Ordinary Course of Business, including those set forth on Schedule 6.12(a)(ii) (the “Surety Bonds”). In the case of the failure to do so by the Closing, then following Closing, Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ shall continue to cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts as described in the preceding sentence.

(b)Buyer shall (i) indemnify the Guarantee Released Parties from and against any and all Losses arising from such Guarantees and Surety Bonds as a result of an activity that occurred from or after the Closing that is not attributable to a breach occurring prior to the Closing, and (ii) not permit the Company or its Affiliates to (1) renew or extend the term of, (2) amend or waive any provision of, (3) increase its obligations under, or (4) transfer to another third party any Contract, letter of credit, real property lease or other Liability for which any Guarantee Released Party is or would be liable under such Guarantee or Surety Bond.

(c)To the extent that any Guarantee Released Party has performance obligations under any such Guarantee or Surety Bond related to the period from and after the Closing, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) fully perform or cause to be fully performed such obligations on behalf of such Guarantee Released Party or (ii) otherwise take such action as reasonably requested by Seller so as to place such Guarantee Released Party in the same position as if Buyer (and not such Guarantee Released Party) had performed or was performing such obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer or its Affiliates shall, if required by the applicable obligee, post a letter of credit, cash deposit or otherwise provide appropriate assurances in replacement of any existing letters of credit, cash deposits or other assurances acceptable to the applicable obligee in amounts and on terms as may be required by the applicable obligee but in no event greater than the existing amount of any such letter of credit, cash deposit or assurance to effectuate the foregoing with respect to the Guarantees.

6.13Resignations. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the written resignations of each director (or each person holding a similar position) of the Company in their capacity as a director (or similar position) that is reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇ at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, effective as of and conditioned upon the Closing.

6.14Insurance Matters.

(a)As used in this Section 6.14, (i) “Claims-Made Policies” means the “claims-made” policies of Gibraltar set forth on Schedule 6.14(a)(i) providing coverage grants to the Company with respect to the matters specified in such polices, other than the Cyber Policy (as defined below), and (ii) “Cyber Policy” means the “claims-made” policy of Gibraltar set forth on Schedule 6.14(a)(ii) providing a coverage grant to the Company with respect to cyber matters as specified in such policy.

(b)Within three (3) Business Days of the date hereof, Gibraltar will cause its insurance broker to request from its applicable existing insurance carriers to the extent not already requested: (i) affirmative endorsements for divested entity treatment for continued insurance coverage for the Company for any Claims-Made Policies (“Endorsements”), (ii) quotations for run-off policies for any Claims-Made Polices (“Run-Off Policies”), in the case of clause (i) and (ii) of this clause (b), with the same insurance terms and coverages as apply for the benefit of the Company on the date hereof and for a period of three years after the Closing Date, and (iii) a waiver of the change of control of the Company under the Cyber Policy and add the Company as an additional named insured under the Cyber Policy (“CIC Waiver”) during the period in which Buyer is receiving IT services under the TSA. Gibraltar will use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any reasonable requests or questions from its insurance broker and insurance carriers so that the requests under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) can be reviewed by the applicable insurance carriers and keep the Buyer reasonably updated and reasonably consult with Buyer with respect to the results of its requests under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above and, if applicable and requested by Buyer, reasonably follow up with its broker to pursue commercially available insurance options in the event that (x) either or both the Endorsements and the Run-Off Policies are received by Gibraltar before Closing, then Buyer shall have the option to direct Gibraltar to use its commercially reasonably efforts to obtain either

the Endorsements or the Run-Off Policies so received by Gibraltar, or (y) the CIC Waiver is received by Gibraltar before Closing, then Buyer shall have the option to direct Gibraltar to request that the insurer execute the CIC Waiver so received by Gibraltar. Buyer will promptly reimburse Gibraltar for the premium of such Endorsements or Run-Off Policies and the premium and expense of such CIC Waiver.

(c)In the event that Gibraltar does not receive either Endorsements or Run-Off Policies for a Claims-Made Policy during the Pre-Closing Period, then for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”), (i) Gibraltar shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain (including through renewal) such Claims-Made Policy or Claims-Made Policies, as applicable, on substantially the same insurance terms and coverages as apply for the benefit of the Company as of the date hereof to the extent such terms and coverages are commercially available in the marketplace to Gibraltar from its insurers; and (ii) Gibraltar agrees to not amend, terminate, replace, cancel, fail to pay any premium required to maintain or permit such to lapse, any such Claims-Made Policy or Claims-Made Polices, as applicable, without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, in each case of clause (i) or (ii) above, that (A) Gibraltar shall not be required to change its insurance carriers for any replacement or renewals of the Claims-Made Polices, (B) Buyer acknowledges that availability, terms and conditions, scope and effective date and issuance of any replacement or renewal of the Claims-Made Polices are subject to the discretion, approval and administrative process of the applicable insurers, and therefore, there can be no assurance that replacement or renewals of the Claims-Made Polices will be commercially available to Gibraltar from its insurers on substantially the same terms as exist as of the date hereof, and (C) in the ordinary course of business Gibraltar may, without Buyer’s consent, amend, change or modify its deductibles/retentions and other terms of its insurance policies, so long as (i) such changes and modifications do not materially and adversely affect the Company in a manner that is disproportionate as compared to Gibraltar’s insured subsidiaries, and (ii) subject to clause (B) above, Gibraltar shall not request the removal of the Company from coverage under the Claims-Made Polices during the Continuation Period. After the Closing, the Continuation Period shall automatically terminate early upon any change of control of the Company, or upon any sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the equity interests of the Company, to a third party unaffiliated with Buyer. During the Continuation Period, Gibraltar shall notify the Company of any material changes in the terms of coverage referenced in this clause (c).

(d)For the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending upon the termination of IT services under the TSA (the “Cyber Period”), (i) Gibraltar shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain (including through renewal) the Cyber Policy on substantially the same insurance terms and coverages as apply for the benefit of the Company as of the date hereof to the extent such terms and coverages are commercially available in the marketplace to Gibraltar from its insurer; and (ii) Gibraltar agrees to not amend, terminate, replace, cancel, fail to pay any premium required to maintain or permit such to lapse, the Cyber Policy, without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, in each case of clause (i) or (ii) above, that (A) Gibraltar shall not be required to change its insurance carriers for any replacement or renewals of the Cyber Policy, (B) Buyer acknowledges that availability, terms and conditions, scope and effective date and issuance of any replacement or renewal of the Cyber Policy is subject to the discretion, approval and administrative process of the applicable insurers, and therefore, there can be no assurance that replacement or renewals of the Cyber Policy will be commercially available to Gibraltar from its insurer on substantially the same terms as exist as of the date hereof, and (C) subject to clause (B), Gibraltar may not, without Buyer’s consent, amend, change or modify its deductibles/retentions and other terms of the Cyber Policy and subject to clause (B) above, Gibraltar shall not request the removal of the Company from

coverage under the Cyber Policy during the Cyber Period. After the Closing, the Cyber Period shall automatically terminate early upon any change of control of the Company, or upon any sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the equity interests of the Company, to a third party unaffiliated with Buyer. During the Cyber Period, Gibraltar shall notify the Company of any material changes in the terms of coverage referenced in this Section 6.14(d).

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, after the Closing, Buyer and the Company shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay (or reimburse Gibraltar and its Affiliates, as applicable) for any and all Liabilities arising out of or relating to any claim under the Claims-Made Policies and Cyber Policy made after the Closing by Buyer or its Affiliates, including: (i) all deductibles, self-insured retentions, co-insurance amounts, retrospective premiums, premium adjustments and other amounts payable or borne by any insured in connection with such claim (as are evidenced by confirmation by the applicable underwriter as relating solely to such claim), (ii) all costs and expenses of investigating, preparing, submitting, pursuing, administering, defending, disputing, litigating, arbitrating, appealing, settling or otherwise enforcing such claim or obtaining coverage or payment thereunder, including attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees and other professional fees and expenses, (iii) any amounts not covered, paid or reimbursed by the applicable insurer, including as a result of any denial of coverage, coverage limitation, exclusion, reservation of rights, exhaustion of limits or insurer insolvency, and (iv) any other reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses or liabilities incurred by Gibraltar or any of its Affiliates in connection with such claim.

(f)After the Closing, each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party, at its sole cost and expense, in pursuing any claim after the Closing under the Claims-Made Policies and Cyber Policy with respect to the Company. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Gibraltar and Buyer, each Party shall have sole control over its respective claim and all selection of counsel, communications, negotiations, proceedings and settlements with insurers under the Claims-Made Policies and the Cyber Policy with respect to its claims after the Closing, provided, however, (i) with respect to any claim that potentially exposes both Parties to potential liability or adverse consequences, each Party shall reasonably cooperate and consult with the other Party and its legal counsel and permit such Party and its legal counsel to reasonably participate in such claim, settlement or compromise thereof at such Party’s cost and expense, and (iii) that neither Party will make any admission of liability on behalf of the other Party or its Affiliates or which otherwise exposes the other Party or its Affiliates to potential liability or settle or compromise any claim that imposes or purports to impose an obligation or liability on the other Party, in each case without the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(g)Except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 6.14(b), Section 6.14(c) and Section 6.14(d), Gibraltar shall have no obligation to (i) obtain any bespoke, manuscript, specially negotiated or non-standard endorsement or insurance coverage, (ii) solicit quotations or coverage from, or otherwise approach, any insurer, reinsurer, broker or other insurance market participant other than the existing insurers of Gibraltar and Gibraltar’s existing insurance broker, (iii) amend or otherwise modify any existing insurance policy or obtain any new or additional insurance policy or coverage, or (iv) incur any out-of-pocket cost or expense in connection with the foregoing.

(h)Neither Gibraltar nor its Affiliates represents or warrants that any renewal or replacement for the Claims-Made Policies under Section 6.14(c) and Cyber Policy under Section 6.14(d) will be available, issued or cover the same terms that exist as of the date hereof.

(a)by either Seller or Buyer, at any time after 5 p.m. New York City time on January 31, 2027 (such date, as may be extended pursuant to this Section 8.1(a), the “Outside Date”) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to such time on such date; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of the then-current Outside Date, all of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7 have been satisfied or waived other than the condition set forth in Section 7.1(a) (only to the extent such failure to satisfy relates to Competition Laws) or Section 7.1(b) and those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied at the Closing, then the Outside Date shall automatically extend for an additional thirty (30) days to the extent necessary to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) (only to the extent such failure to satisfy relates to Competition Laws) or Section 7.1(b), and may be so extended on no more than five (5) successive occasions, for an aggregate extension not to extend in any event the Outside Date beyond June 30, 2027; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(a) shall not be available to any Party at any time during which such Party is in material breach of this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7, as applicable, could not be satisfied, unless such Party’s breach was primarily or principally caused by Seller’s or the Company’s (in the case of Buyer) or Buyer’s (in the case of Seller or the Company) breach of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(b)by mutual written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇;

(c)by Buyer, upon a material breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement on the part of Seller or the Company, or if any representation or warranty of Seller or the Company hereunder shall be or become untrue, in any case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 would not be satisfied (any such breach or occurrence, a “Terminating Seller Breach”); provided, however, that, Buyer may terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) only if such Terminating Seller Breach has not been cured by Seller or the Company prior to the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after receipt by Seller of written notice from Buyer of such Terminating Seller Breach and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the Outside Date; and provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to Buyer at any time during which Buyer and/or Guarantor is in material breach of this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3, could not be satisfied, unless such breach was primarily or principally caused by Seller’s or the Company’s breach of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(d)by Seller, upon a material breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement on the part of Buyer or Guarantor, or if any representation or warranty of Buyer or Guarantor hereunder shall be or become untrue, in any case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 would not be satisfied (any such breach or occurrence, a “Terminating Buyer Breach”); provided, however, that Seller may terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) only if such Terminating Buyer Breach has not been cured by Buyer or Guarantor, as applicable, prior to the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after receipt by Buyer of written notice from Seller of such Terminating Buyer Breach and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the Outside Date; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to Seller at any time during which Seller is in material breach of this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2, could not be satisfied, unless such breach was primarily or principally caused by ▇▇▇▇▇’s breach of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; or

(e)by either Seller or Buyer, if any Governmental Body shall have issued an Order or taken any other action enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transaction and such Order shall have become final and non-appealable; unless the failure to consummate the Transaction because of such Order shall be primarily or principally due to the failure of Buyer or Guarantor, if Buyer is seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e), or of Seller or the Company, if Seller is seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e), to have fulfilled any of its obligations under this Agreement.

8.2Procedure Upon Termination. The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any of clauses (a), (c), (d) or (e) of Section 8.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party in accordance with Section 10.8 specifying the provision or provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is effected.

8.3Effect of Termination.

(a)Except as set forth in Section 4.29, Section 6.5, Section 6.8, this ARTICLE 8, and ARTICLE 10, and each of the defined terms necessary to give effect to the foregoing provisions, which provisions shall survive termination of this Agreement, in the event that this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, then (i) this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, (ii) the Transaction shall be abandoned and (iii) each of the Parties shall be relieved of its duties, obligations and covenants arising under this Agreement after the date and time of such termination and such termination shall be without liability to Seller or the Company, on the one hand, or Buyer on the other, as applicable; provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve any Party from any liability for (A) Willful Breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement prior to termination or (B) Fraud by a Party prior to termination.

(b)Nothing in this Section 8.3 shall be construed to discharge or relieve Seller, Buyer or any other party to the Confidentiality Agreement of its duties, obligations or covenants thereunder.

ARTICLE 9
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

9.1No Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document will terminate effective as of the Closing and not survive the Closing for any purpose (it being the Parties’ intention to contractually shorten any applicable statutes of limitation), such that no claim for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement, detrimental reliance, or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought after the Closing with respect thereto, and there will be no liability in respect thereof, whether such liability has accrued prior to or after the Closing, except for (a) those covenants and agreements of Buyer to make all of the payments contemplated to be made at or prior to the Closing and (b) those covenants and agreements contained in ARTICLE 6, ARTICLE 10, and any other provisions of this Agreement that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing, which, unless otherwise indicated, will survive the Closing in accordance with their terms, or if no time period is specified, indefinitely until fully performed or satisfied (it being the Parties’ intention to contractually lengthen any applicable statutes of limitation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including ARTICLE 3 and ARTICLE 4), none of the statements or other items or anything else in ARTICLE 3 and ARTICLE 4 will constitute or be deemed to be a covenant, obligation or agreement, and all statements, items and anything else in ARTICLE 3 and ARTICLE 4 will constitute and will be deemed to be only representations and warranties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.1, Section 10.15, including Guarantor’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements therein, shall survive the Closing as provided in Section 10.15(e), without extending the survival of any underlying obligation of Buyer beyond its terms.

9.2Exclusive Remedy. From and after the date hereof until the Closing, Buyer’s and the other Buyer Related Persons’ sole and exclusive remedy, whether in any individual, corporate or any other capacity, with respect to any and all claims relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, any Exhibit or Disclosure Schedules or other Schedule hereto, or any Transaction Document entered into, made, delivered, or made available in connection herewith or therewith, or as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, will be solely against Parties to this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE 8 or Section 10.1 in accordance with the terms hereof. From and after the Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇’s and the other Buyer Related Persons’ sole and exclusive remedy, whether in any individual, corporate or any other capacity, with respect to any and all claims relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise with respect to ownership or operation of the Company at or prior to the Closing, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed (whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, on public policy grounds, under, or based upon, any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law (including common law), ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise (including under any Environmental Law), securities laws and any other right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law) for conspiracy, aiding or abetting or other similar claim (including with respect to a claim permitted against a Party) or otherwise, will be solely and exclusively (a) against a Party for breach of any agreement or covenant by such Party herein surviving the Closing to the extent provided in Section 9.1 or (b) for claims for Fraud by any

Party against another Party to this Agreement that committed such Fraud (together, the “Retained Claims”). In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer hereby, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Buyer Related Persons, irrevocably waives and releases and covenants not to sue to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, Seller Related Persons, whether in any individual, corporate or any other capacity, from and against any and all other rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any Seller Related Persons relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, any Exhibit or Disclosure Schedules or other Schedule hereto, or any Transaction Document entered into, made, delivered, or made available in connection herewith or therewith, or as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the ownership or operation of the Company prior to the Closing, including whether arising under or based upon any law or otherwise and including any rights to rescission of the transactions contemplated hereby and including any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or other similar rights, other than the Retained Claims. The Parties agree that the limits imposed on ▇▇▇▇▇’s and the other Buyer Related Persons’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including this Section 9.2) were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Seller hereunder. Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Buyer Related Persons, acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer Related Persons may avoid any limitation on liability set forth herein (including in Section 9.2) by (i) seeking damages for breach of contract, tort, or pursuant to any other theory of liability or asserting any claim against any Seller Related Person for conspiracy, aiding or abetting or other theory of liability with respect to a claim that may be asserted against a Party to this Agreement, all of which are hereby irrevocably waived or (ii) asserting or threatening any claim against any Person that is not a party (or a successor to a party) for breaches of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in this Agreement.

9.3Release. Effective as of the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and on behalf of all Buyer Related Persons, agrees (and, from and after the Closing, will cause the Company to agree) that Seller, each Seller Related Person and (as applicable), their respective Affiliates, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) will have no liability or responsibility to any Buyer Related Person for (and Buyer hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and forever releases and discharges, on behalf of itself and on behalf of all Buyer Related Persons (and from and after the Closing will cause the Company to unconditionally, irrevocably and forever release and discharge) such Seller Related Persons from) any and all Losses of any kind or character whatsoever, known or unknown, matured or contingent, suspected or unsuspected, in contract or tort, direct or indirect, at law or in equity or otherwise (collectively, the “Released Claims”) that any Buyer Related Person ever had, now has or ever may have or claim to have against any Releasee(s) (a) arising out of, or relating to, the organization, ownership, management or operation of the businesses of the Company relating to any matter, occurrence, action or activity on or prior to the Closing Date; (b) relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or arising out of or due to any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty or the breach of any covenant, undertaking or other agreement contained in this Agreement, the Exhibits or the Disclosure Schedules or in any Transaction Document other than the covenants or agreements in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents that by their terms are required to be performed or complied with in whole or in part after the Closing, which covenants and agreements will survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms and Section 9.1; (c) relating to any information (whether written or oral), documents or materials furnished by or on behalf of any Seller Related Persons (including the Company prior to the Closing); or (d) otherwise relating to any matter, circumstance, event, action, inaction, omission, cause or thing whatsoever arising prior to the Closing; provided that nothing in this Section 9.3 will release any claim for Seller’s Fraud. ▇▇▇▇▇, on behalf of itself and on behalf of all Buyer Related Persons, hereby expressly waives all rights afforded by any statute that limits the effect

of a release with respect to unknown claims. ▇▇▇▇▇, on behalf of itself and on behalf of all Buyer Related Persons, hereby confirms that it understands the significance of this release of unknown claims and waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims, and acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement. Each Releasee is expressly intended as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 9.3. Buyer irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claims or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any action of any kind based upon a Released Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein constitutes a waiver or release by Buyer of: (i) claims or rights arising under this Agreement or any Transaction Documents, and (ii) any claims that cannot be waived under applicable Law.

BUYER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER BUYER RELATED PERSONS (INCLUDING THE COMPANY AFTER THE CLOSING), EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AFFORDED BY ANY STATUTE WHICH LIMITS THE EFFECT OF A RELEASE WITH RESPECT TO UNKNOWN CLAIMS, INCLUDING CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 AND ANY OTHER SIMILAR STATUTES. CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 PROVIDES:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

9.4Post-Closing Performance. Buyer knowingly, willingly, irrevocably and expressly acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of Buyer and each Buyer Related Person, that the agreements contained in this ARTICLE 9 (a) require performance after the Closing to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and will survive the Closing for twenty (20) years and will not be subject to any of the survival or exclusive remedy provisions of this ARTICLE 9, and (b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without the agreements set forth in this ARTICLE 9, Seller and the Company would not enter into this Agreement.

9.5NO LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH BUYER RELATED PERSON, THAT NEITHER SELLER, ANY SELLER RELATED PERSON NOR ANY OTHER PERSON WILL HAVE ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT LIABILITY (DERIVATIVELY OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ANY INACCURACY IN OR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY MADE BY SELLER IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AND THAT NO CLAIM BY BUYER OR ANY BUYER RELATED PERSON WILL BE ASSERTED AGAINST SELLER OR ANY SELLER RELATED PERSON WITH RESPECT THERETO. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, BUYER (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH BUYER RELATED PERSON) (1) ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE BUYER AND THE BUYER RELATED PERSONS WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS FOR ANY INACCURACY IN OR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY MADE BY SELLER WILL BE SATISFIED SOLELY FROM THE R&W INSURANCE POLICY AND (2) RELEASES, WAIVES AND FOREVER DISCHARGES SELLER AND THE SELLER RELATED PERSONS FROM ALL LIABILITIES IN CONNECTION WITH A BREACH OF SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY SELLER.

ARTICLE 10
MISCELLANEOUS

10.1Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, including if the Parties fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement or any Transaction Document. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other applicable remedies at law or equity, the Parties and the third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without proof of damages, to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and any Transaction Document. If Seller or, prior to the Closing, the Company brings any Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party and the Outside Date has not yet passed, the Outside Date (notwithstanding the termination provisions of Section 8.1) shall automatically be extended by the greater of (x) the amount of time during which such Action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days and (y) such other time period established by the Governmental Body presiding over such Action. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (a) the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. In no event shall the exercise of a Party’s right to seek specific performance pursuant to this Section 10.1 reduce, restrict or otherwise limit such Party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 or pursue all applicable remedies at law, including seeking money damages. The Parties hereby agree that Guarantor is a Party for purposes of this Section 10.1. Each of the Parties hereby waives (y) any defenses in any Action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and (z) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

10.2Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will each pay all of its own expenses, costs and fees (including legal and other professional fees and costs) incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or not). In the event any Action is commenced or threatened by any Person to enforce its rights pursuant to this Agreement against any other Person, all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such Action shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party in such Action; provided that, if a party in such Action prevails in part, and loses in part, the court or other adjudicator presiding over such Action shall award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party on an equitable basis.

10.3Governing Law. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction Documents), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of Laws principles thereof that might require the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction. The Parties hereby agree that Guarantor is a Party for purposes of this Section 10.3.

10.4Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. All Actions (whether in contract or tort) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents) shall be heard and determined exclusively by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any State of Delaware appellate court therefrom or, to the extent the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have subject matter jurisdiction or declines to accept personal jurisdiction over any Party, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware and any appellate court therefrom. The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and, in the case of appeals, appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Action and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Action, and any judgment of such courts may be enforced in any other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or by any other manner provided by Law. Without limiting any other method of service of process in accordance with applicable Law, the Parties consent and agree to service of process for purposes of this Agreement by way of notice of any Action given pursuant to Section 10.8 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this Section 10.4 shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this Section 10.4 and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties. The Parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. The Parties hereby agree that Guarantor is a Party for purposes of this Section 10.4.

10.5WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM, SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF CLAIM, SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.5. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT GUARANTOR IS A PARTY FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION 10.5.

10.6Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules and exhibits hereto), the Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement represent the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements, Contracts, discussions, negotiations, undertakings and understandings (whether written or oral and including any letter of intent or other similar preliminary documents) between the Parties with respect to such subject matter (other than the Confidentiality Agreement). The Parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations with respect to the Transaction exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and any other executed agreement entered into by the Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Parties expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, and any other executed agreement entered into by the Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Furthermore, each Party hereby acknowledges that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations, and all Parties specifically acknowledge that no Party has any special relationship with another Party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction. The sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any representations and warranties set forth herein, made in connection herewith or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) or any claim or cause of action otherwise arising out of or related to the Transaction shall be those remedies available at law or in equity for breach of contract against the Parties to this Agreement only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement), and the Parties hereby agree that no Party shall have any remedies or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) for any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, or representations or warranties not explicitly set forth in this Agreement. The Parties agree that the representations and warranties contained herein are for contractual risk allocation purposes only.

10.7Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

10.8Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given: (a) on the day of delivery, if delivered by hand; (b) on the day of delivery, if sent by electronic mail (with confirmation of receipt) at or prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day; (c) on the first Business Day following delivery, if sent by electronic mail on a day that is not a Business Day or after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day; (d) on the first Business Day following deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service; or (e) upon the earlier of actual receipt and the fifth Business Day following first class mailing, with first class, postage prepaid, in each case at the following addresses (or to such other address or e-mail address as a Party may have specified by notice given to the other Party pursuant to this Section 10.8):

10.9Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document will 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 in this Agreement or other Transaction Document is, for any reason, held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Agreement or other Transaction Document, as applicable, which will otherwise remain in full force and effect. Upon any such determination that any provision of this Agreement or other Transaction Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement or other Transaction Document, as applicable, by replacing the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with legal, valid and enforceable provisions the effect of which comes as close as practicable to the original intent of the Parties in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.10Binding Effect; Third-Party Beneficiaries; Assignment. The terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents executed by a Party will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against such Party and its successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or another Transaction Document, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are for the exclusive benefit of the Parties and (as applicable) their respective legal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement or such other Transaction Document, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) the provisions of Section 6.6 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, the D&O Indemnitees, and the provisions of Section 6.14 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, Buyer and the Company after the Closing; (b) the provisions of Section 6.11 and Section 6.12 are intended for the benefit

of, and will be enforceable by, Seller, Seller Related Persons, their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective Representatives; (c) the provisions of Section 9.3 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, Releasees; (d) the provisions of Section 10.12 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, the Non-Party Affiliates; (e) the provisions of Section 10.13 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; (f) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Agreement that would benefit or protect a Seller Related Person if such Seller Related Person were a party hereto are intended for the benefit of such Seller Related Person, but only enforceable by Seller and its Affiliates on behalf of such Seller Related Person; and (g) the provisions of Section 10.15 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, Gibraltar and its successors and permitted assigns as expressly provided therein. No Party may assign, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or another Transaction Document to any other Person without the prior written consent of the other Party to this Agreement or the other parties to such other Transaction Documents, as applicable, and any such attempted or purported assignment will be null and void; provided, however, that Buyer may, without consent, assign all or part of its rights under this Agreement or other Transaction Document to one or more of its Affiliates or to any of their financing sources for collateral purposes, which assignment will not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement or such other Transaction Document.

10.11Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement and any signed agreement entered into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by facsimile, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or any other electronic transmission, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any Party hereto or to any such contract, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other Parties.

No Person who is not a named Party to this Agreement, including any director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, organizer, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any named Party to this Agreement (“Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any Liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose Liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any Liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation or execution; and each Party waives and releases all such Liabilities and claims against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.12 limits or releases Guarantor’s express obligations under Section 10.15 or the rights of Seller or Gibraltar to enforce those obligations. Except solely to that extent, the protections of this Section 10.12 remain unchanged. Gibraltar is a Party solely for the limited purposes of the provisions set forth in Sections 6.10(k) and 6.14 hereunder.

10.13Provision With Respect to Legal Representation. Buyer hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company and each of their stockholders, members, partners, directors, managers, officers, employees and Affiliates, and each of their successors and assigns (all such parties, the “Waiving Parties”), that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ PC (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”) (or any of their respective successors) may represent Seller Related Persons, in each case in connection with any Actions or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby notwithstanding its representation (or any continued representation) of the Company, and Buyer on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any actual or potential conflict of interest or any objection arising therefrom or relating thereto. Buyer acknowledges that the foregoing provision applies whether or not Polsinelli provides legal services to the Company after the Closing Date. Buyer, for itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between the Company and Seller Related Persons and its counsel, including ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications (the “Privileged Communications”) and that ownership of privilege with respect thereto does not pass to the Company notwithstanding the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and instead remain with and are controlled by Seller Related Persons; provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates) of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any such communications to any third party. Buyer, together with any of its respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, successors or assigns, agree that no Person may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications, whether located in the records or email servers of the Company or otherwise, in any Action against or involving any of the Parties after the Closing to the extent such Privileged Communications would be subject to a privilege or protection if they were being requested in a proceeding by an unrelated third party; and ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees not to assert that the privilege has been waived as to the Privileged Communication that may be located in the records or email server of the Company. The Parties hereby agree that nothing herein is intended or should be construed as a waiver of any privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any Privileged Communications to any third party.

10.14Disclosure Schedules. The Disclosure Schedules have been arranged, for purposes of convenience only, as separately titled Schedules corresponding to the Sections of this Agreement. For purposes of the representations and warranties of Seller contained herein, disclosure in any Schedule of the Disclosure Schedules, or any subsection thereof, of any facts or circumstances shall be deemed to be adequate response and disclosure of such facts or circumstances with respect to all representations or warranties by Seller calling for disclosure of such information, if it is reasonably apparent on the face of a disclosure item that another disclosure section is also applicable. The disclosure of any matter or item in any Schedule of the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that any such matter is required to be disclosed. The inclusion of any matter, information or item in any Schedule of the Disclosure Schedules, or any subsection thereof, shall not be deemed to constitute an admission of any Liability by Seller to any third party or otherwise imply that any such matter, information or item is material or creates a measure for materiality for the purposes of this Agreement.

10.15Guaranteed Obligations.

(a)Guaranty. As a material inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement, and in consideration of the benefits that Guarantor will receive from the Transaction, Guarantor irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Seller the full and timely payment and performance of all obligations of Buyer under this Agreement and the other Buyer Documents, including (i) to consummate the Closing and pay the amounts required to be paid at Closing pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) causing Buyer and its Affiliates (including Guarantor) to perform the covenants contained in Section 6.3 (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guaranteed Obligations include the payment of any post-Closing purchase price adjustment and include Guarantor performing, and Guarantor causing its Affiliates (including Buyer) to, perform the covenants contained in Section 6.3. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance, not merely of collection, and is effective upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parties hereto and is not conditioned upon the Closing or the availability or receipt of financing. This Section 10.15, solely with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, applies to Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement (including Guarantor, and Guarantor causing its Affiliates (including Buyer), to perform the obligations under Section 6.3) and the other Buyer Documents on the same basis as it applies to obligations under this Agreement, subject to the applicable conditions, defenses, limitations and survival provisions under the Buyer Documents, as applicable, other than defenses expressly waived under this Section 10.15. No termination of this Agreement shall, by itself, discharge any obligation guaranteed hereunder that remains outstanding under this Agreement or any other Buyer Document.

(b)Direct Enforcement. Subject to Section 10.15(d), Guarantor guarantees the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. If Buyer fails to pay or perform a Guaranteed Obligation when due, Guarantor shall immediately pay, cause the payment of, perform or cause the performance of that Guaranteed Obligation in accordance with this Agreement and the other Buyer Documents, as applicable. Seller may proceed directly against Guarantor without first demanding payment from, commencing an Action against, obtaining a judgment against, or exhausting any remedy against Buyer or any other Person or any security. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor shall provide or cause to be provided to Buyer the funds necessary to satisfy the Guaranteed Obligations when due. No Person shall receive duplicative recovery of the same obligation.

(c)Waivers; Continuing Liability. Subject to Section 10.15(d), Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 10.15 shall not be released or impaired by (i) any amendment of this Agreement or any other Buyer Document made in accordance with its applicable terms; (ii) extension of time, waiver or forbearance; (iii) permitted assignment; (iv) change in Buyer’s ownership, structure or existence; (v) insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding affecting Buyer; (vi) lack of power or authority of Buyer or resulting unenforceability of an obligation against Buyer; or (vii) failure to obtain, preserve or enforce any remedy or security. Guarantor consents in advance to those matters and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, waives defenses arising from them, defenses arising solely from its status as a guarantor or surety, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance of this guaranty and notice of default. These waivers do not dispense with any notice to Buyer expressly required under this Agreement or any other Buyer Document, as applicable, for an underlying Guaranteed Obligation to become due or enforceable.

(d)Underlying Terms and Defenses. Except for the defenses expressly waived in this Section 10.15, Guarantor may assert any defense to payment or performance available to Buyer under the express terms of this Agreement or any other Buyer Document, as applicable, including the failure of a condition to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing or a valid termination of this Agreement. Except for those waivers and Guarantor’s independent obligations under this Section 10.15, this guaranty does not increase the amount or scope of Buyer’s obligations, alter the conditions to the Closing or eliminate any contractual limitation applicable to the underlying Guaranteed Obligations. An amendment, waiver or release that validly reduces or extinguishes an underlying Guaranteed Obligation correspondingly reduces or extinguishes the obligation guaranteed hereunder, subject to Section 10.15(e).

(e)Survival; Reinstatement; Subrogation. Notwithstanding ARTICLE 8, ARTICLE 9 or any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 10.15, including Guarantor’s representations, warranties and covenants herein, survives the Closing and any termination of this Agreement and shall automatically terminate with no further action required on the part of any party once all Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid, performed or otherwise discharged in accordance with their terms. Following a valid termination of this Agreement or any other Buyer Document, as applicable, the Guaranteed Obligations arising under the terminated Agreement or any other Buyer Document, as applicable, include only obligations and liabilities of Buyer that survive that termination; and the termination of this Agreement or any other Buyer Document, as applicable, shall not, by itself, discharge any Guaranteed Obligation arising under this Agreement or any other Buyer Document. This Section 10.15 does not revive any underlying claim against ▇▇▇▇▇ that does not survive the Closing under ARTICLE 9. If any payment in respect of a Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded, recovered or required to be returned, this guaranty shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, be reinstated to the extent of that payment as though it had not been made, notwithstanding any prior discharge of this guaranty. Until all Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid, performed or otherwise discharged, Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnification against Buyer arising from this guaranty.

(f)Guarantor’s Representations and Undertakings. Guarantor represents and warrants to Seller, as of the date hereof, that: (i) it is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (ii) is Buyer’s indirect parent entity and will receive material benefits from the Transaction; (iii) has all requisite power and authority necessary to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated by this Agreement, in each case to the extent applicable to Guarantor, and to consummate the Transaction; (iv) has obtained all necessary corporate approvals, including any required board authorization and delegation, and all other consents necessary for this guaranty; (v) has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated by this Agreement applicable to Guarantor, each of which constitutes legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor, to the extent applicable to it, in accordance with its and their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions; (vi) the execution, delivery and performance of Guarantor with the Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate applicable to it do not conflict with its Organizational Documents, any Contract to which it is a party, or any applicable Law or Order; and (vii) it is solvent as of the date hereof and will be solvent immediately after giving effect to the Transaction.

(g)Enforcement and Other Provisions. Seller, Gibraltar and their respective successors and permitted assigns may each enforce this Section 10.15 directly. Sections 10.1 through 10.11 and ARTICLE 11 apply to this Section 10.15 and its enforcement, with Guarantor treated as a Party for those purposes. Enforcement costs shall be allocated under Section 10.2. No non-recourse provision of this Agreement limits Guarantor’s express liability under this Section 10.15. Guarantor also agrees to be bound by the waivers, releases and limitations applicable to Buyer Related Persons under this Agreement, but acquires no independent right to terminate this Agreement or exercise Buyer’s rights under it. No assignment of Buyer’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Buyer Document, whether or not permitted, releases Guarantor. Guarantor may not assign its obligations under this Section 10.15 without Seller’s and Gibraltar’s prior written consent.

(h)Service of Process. Guarantor irrevocably appoints Buyer, at its U.S. address specified in Section 10.8, as its agent to receive service of process in any Action relating to this Section 10.15 in the courts specified in Section 10.4, and ▇▇▇▇▇ accepts that appointment. Service on Buyer constitutes effective service on Guarantor to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Buyer shall promptly forward any process received to Guarantor, but failure to do so will not invalidate service. Guarantor shall maintain that appointment or a replacement U.S. agent acceptable to Seller while any obligation under this Section 10.15 remains outstanding and shall promptly notify Seller of any replacement and its address. Nothing herein limits any other lawful method of service.

(i)Amendments; Attribution of Breach. In addition to any other consent required under this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of this Section 10.15 or release of Guarantor hereunder is effective without the written consent of Seller and Guarantor. Subject to the preceding sentence, Guarantor’s separate signature or consent is not required for an amendment or waiver of any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Buyer Document made in accordance with its terms, to which Guarantor consents as provided in Section 10.15(c).
