(b) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Revised Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of Net Working Capital (the “Revised Net Working Capital”) and the Closing Indebtedness (the “Revised Closing Indebtedness”). During the Review Period, Buyer shall provide Seller and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to the books, records, and other materials that Buyer used to prepare the Revised Closing Statement as reasonably requested by Seller.

(c) If Seller disagrees with any of the items included in the Revised Closing Statement, Seller may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a Notice of Disagreement to Buyer.

05466425.6 6

be deemed the Final Net Working Capital and the Revised Closing Indebtedness will be deemed the Final Closing Indebtedness. If Seller timely delivers a Notice of Disagreement with respect to the Revised Closing Statement, then (i) during the Resolution Period, Buyer and Seller shall seek in good faith to resolve any Disputed Items; and (ii) all items included in the Revised Closing Statement that Seller does not include in such Notice of Disagreement will be final and binding on the Parties. During such Resolution Period, each Party shall provide the other Party and its Representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to the books, records, and other materials that such other Party reasonably requests relating to such Notice of Disagreement and such Disputed Items.

(d) If, at the end of the Resolution Period, Buyer and Seller have not resolved each Disputed Item with respect to the Revised Closing Statement, then either Buyer or Seller may submit such unresolved Disputed Items to the Independent Accounting Firm for review and resolution. The Independent Accounting Firm shall, and Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to, (i) act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, (ii) make a final determination based solely on the applicable provisions of this Agreement and not by independent review, (iii) base its decision on a single presentation submitted in writing by each of Buyer and Seller and on one written response to each such presentation (unless the Independent Accounting Firm requests an additional response from either Buyer or Seller), and not by independent review, (iv) with respect to each unresolved Disputed Item, render a determination that must be within the ranges of values claimed by each of Buyer and Seller, and (v) render a final determination for each Disputed Item within 45 days following the end of the Resolution Period. During such 45-day period, each of Buyer and Seller shall provide the Independent Accounting Firm with reasonable access to information relating to any Disputed Item. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm with respect to the resolution of the Disputed Items in accordance with this Section 1.3 will be borne in equal parts by Seller and Buyer. The final determination of each Disputed Item as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm will be final and binding on the Parties, absent manifest error, and will be utilized in the computation of the payments contemplated by Section 1.3.

(e) If the Final Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then, within five Business Days following the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount in accordance with this Section 1.3, Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Seller. If the Estimated Adjustment Amount exceeds the Final Adjustment Amount, then, within five Business Days after the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount in accordance with this Section 1.3, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Buyer.

(f) The Estimated Closing Statement and Revised Closing Statement, as well as all estimates, calculations, and determinations therein, will be prepared and calculated in accordance with GAAP and otherwise using the methodology set forth on Annex B (the “Adjustment Methodology”). An example calculation of Net Working Capital Target using the Adjustment Methodology is also set forth on Annex B.

05466425.6 7

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the review and Disputed Items procedures set forth in this Section 1.3 are the exclusive mechanisms for resolving disputes regarding Net Working Capital and any component thereof.

(h) Any payment made under this Section 1.3 will constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless (i) a final determination with respect to any such payment causes such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes or (ii) as otherwise required by applicable Law.

1.4 Closing. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Article VI, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Transactions”) will take place remotely, effective as of 12:00:01 a.m. Eastern Time, by exchange of documents and signatures via email, facsimile, or DocuSign on the third Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Transactions (the “Closing”) (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) or such other date, place, time, or manner as the Parties may agree; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall not be required to effect the Closing prior to the date that is fourteen calendar days after the date hereof.

(a) As between the Parties, (i) Seller shall be responsible for and pay all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes, and similar ad valorem obligations, if any, including special assessments with respect to such Taxes, levied or imposed upon, or in connection with, the Acquired Assets or the conduct or operation of the Business with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; (ii) Buyer shall be responsible for and pay all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes, and similar ad valorem obligations, if any, including special assessments with respect to such Taxes, levied or imposed upon, or in connection with, the Acquired Assets or the conduct or the operation of the Business with respect to any taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date; and (iii) each Party will be responsible for its own income Taxes. All such real property Taxes, personal property Taxes, and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Acquired Assets or the Business for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date will be apportioned between Seller and Buyer based on the number of days included in such period through and including the Closing Date and the number of days included in such period after the Closing Date.

05466425.6 33

(b) Seller and Buyer will provide each other with such assistance and non-privileged information relating to the Business and the Acquired Assets as may reasonably be requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return relating to the Business or the Acquired Assets or the performance of any Proceeding by any Taxing Authority relating to any such Tax Return, whether conducted in a judicial or administrative forum, and, to the extent in such Party’s possession as of the date of this Agreement, each will retain and provide to the other Party all non-privileged records and other information that may be relevant to any such Tax Return or Proceeding relating to Taxes.

(c) Seller and Buyer will each be responsible for paying 50% of all transfer, documentary, sales and use, registration, value-added, stamp, or other similar Taxes, if any, arising out of or in connection with the Transactions (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and Seller shall prepare and file all Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes on a timely basis as may be required to comply with the provisions of applicable Tax Laws; provided that Buyer shall provide to Seller any certificates or other documents that Seller may reasonably request to minimize Seller’s actual or potential liability for such Transfer Taxes.

(d) Within 60 days after the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a proposed allocation for income Tax purposes of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (together with any other items properly treated as purchase price for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) between the Acquired Assets (the “Initial Allocation”) for Buyer’s review and comment. Such allocation must comply with the requirements of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. If, prior to the end of the Review Period, Buyer has not delivered to Seller a Notice of Disagreement with respect to the Initial Allocation, the Initial Allocation will be final and binding on the Parties and will be deemed the Final Allocation. If, prior to the end of the Review Period, Buyer has delivered to Seller a Notice of Disagreement with respect to the Initial Allocation, then (i) during the Resolution Period, Buyer and Seller shall seek in good faith to resolve any Disputed Items; and (ii) all items included in the Initial Allocation that Buyer does not include in such Notice of Disagreement will be final and binding on the Parties. During such Resolution Period, each Party shall provide the other Party and its Representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to the books, records, and other materials that such other Party reasonably requests relating to such Notice of Disagreement and such Disputed Items. If, at the end of the Resolution Period, Buyer and Seller have not resolved each Disputed Item with respect to the Initial Allocation, then any remaining Disputed Items will be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution in a manner consistent, mutatis mutandis, with the review and Disputed Items procedures set forth in Section 1.3(d). Each Party shall report the Transactions for income Tax purposes in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith on any Tax Return or before any Government Entity unless otherwise required by “a determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law).

05466425.6 34

4.8 Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date and effective as of and contingent upon the Closing, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall make offers of employment to (and Seller and its Affiliates shall terminate the employment of) all of the employees of the Business set forth on Schedule 4.8(a) to the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Business Employees”) who are actively at work as of the Closing Date; provided that Seller shall have the right to review and provide comments on any such communications to the Business Employees.

(b) Effective immediately following the Closing, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall employ each Business Employee who (i) prior to the Closing Date has accepted in writing an offer of employment and has executed and delivered to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer such other agreements or documents that Buyer reasonably requires, (ii) continues to be an employee of a Seller or any of its Affiliates as of immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) agrees to become an employee of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer effective as of the Closing. Business Employees who accept such offers of employment from Buyer are referred to herein as “Continuing Employees.” In the event any Business Employee who is not actively at work as of the Closing Date becomes available for and able to return to active work within 90 days following the Closing Date, Buyer or its Affiliate shall offer employment to (and Seller and its Affiliates shall terminate) such Business Employee effective upon the date such Business Employee is available for and able to return to active work. Such offer by Buyer or its Affiliate will be on the terms set forth in this Section 4.8. Nothing contained in this Section 4.8 will in any way limit Buyer’s or any of its Affiliates’ ability to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee for any or no reason and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates is in any way obligated to continue the employment of any such Continuing Employee for any specific period.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 1.1(d), Buyer and its Affiliates will have no obligations or other Liabilities under this Agreement with respect to any Person who elects not to become a Continuing Employee in accordance with Section 4.8(b) or Section 4.8(c) (any such employee, a “Non-Continuing Employee”). Seller will be exclusively responsible for all Liabilities arising from Seller’s employment of any such Non-Continuing Employee or Seller’s termination of such employment (including any severance and other similar costs), and all such Liabilities will constitute Excluded Liabilities under this Agreement.

(d) For a period of 12 months following the Closing Date (or until the termination of employment of the relevant Continuing Employee if sooner), Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall provide or cause to be provided to all Continuing Employees (i) a rate of base salary or hourly rate, wages, non-equity based bonus opportunity, and other cash compensation no less favorable in total than the rate of base salary, wages, non-equity bonus opportunity, and other cash compensation paid by Seller and their Affiliates to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) other employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the benefits provided Buyer’s or its Subsidiaries’ similarly situated employees as of immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided that nothing in this Section 4.8(d) will prohibit Buyer or any of its Affiliates from implementing across-the-board reductions in salary, wages, bonuses, cash compensation, and employee benefits to its employees

05466425.6 35

so long as such reductions do not disproportionately affect the Continuing Employees relative to other similarly situated employees of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries.

(e) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries in which any Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the Closing or thereafter, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, recognize all service of the Continuing Employees with Seller prior to the Closing as if such service were with Buyer or such Subsidiary for purposes of vesting, eligibility, and level of benefits (but not for purposes of benefit accrual under any Tax-qualified defined benefit plan or for any purpose under any equity-based, nonqualified deferred compensation or retiree welfare plan or arrangement) in each such plan; provided that such service will only be recognized to the same extent and for the same purpose as recognized by Seller under a comparable Employee Plan of Seller prior to the Closing and will not be recognized to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits or compensation. Following the Closing Date, for the plan year in which the Closing occurs Buyer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) ensure, or cause to ensure subject to contract and plan provisions, that no limitations or exclusions as for pre-existing conditions, evidence of insurability or good health, waiting periods, or actively-at-work exclusions or other limitations or restrictions on coverage are applicable to any Continuing Employees or their dependents or beneficiaries under any health benefit plans in which such Continuing Employees or their dependents or beneficiaries may be eligible to participate to the same extent not applicable under a comparable Seller Employee Plan and (ii) provide or cause to be provided that eligible in-network medical expenses incurred by Continuing Employees (and their dependents or beneficiaries) up to (and including) the Closing Date will be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the applicable deductible for such health plan.

(f) Buyer shall cause its or its Subsidiary’s 401(k) plan or Tax-qualified defined contribution plan to permit the Continuing Employees to make rollover contributions to such plan of amounts distributable to such Continuing Employees from Seller’s 401(k) Plan that are eligible rollover distributions as defined in Section 402(c) of the Code (in cash, but including any promissory notes reflecting participant loans to Continuing Employees from the Seller’s 401(k) Plan).

(g) Effective as of the Closing, Seller shall cause all Continuing Employees who participate in the Seller 401(k) Plan to be fully vested in their account balances thereunder, and Seller shall make all employer contributions that would have been made on behalf of such Continuing Employees had the Transactions not occurred, regardless of any service or end of year employment requirements but prorated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing Date. Seller will be solely responsible for complying with the requirements of Section 4980B of the Code with respect to any “M&A qualified beneficiary” as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9.

(h) Buyer shall have no obligation to assume the accrued but unused paid time off of any Business Employee who is employed outside the State of California. With respect to Business Employees employed in the State of California, Seller shall require each Business Employee to elect whether such employee desires to have his or her accrued but unused paid

05466425.6 36

time off paid out upon Closing by Seller or transferred to Buyer or its Affiliates (the “PTO Elections”). Not later than the 10 days prior to the Closing Date (the “Election Deadline”), Seller will provide Buyer with a list of all responses to the PTO Elections. For those Business Employees employed in the State of California who (a) become Continuing Employees and (b) elect in writing for accrued but unused paid time off to be transferred to Buyer or its Affiliates, Buyer will assume such amounts. Within the time frame required by applicable Law, Seller shall pay all accrued but unused paid time off to each Business Employee employed in the State of California who either (i) does not become a Continuing Employee, (ii) elects in writing by the Election Deadline for such employee’s accrued but unused paid time off to be paid out by Seller on the Closing Date, or (iii) fails to respond in writing to the PTO Election by the Election Deadline.

(i) For the 90 days following the Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take any action with regard to the Continuing Employees that may, alone or in combination with any conduct of Seller occurring prior to the Closing, cause Seller to incur any Liability under the WARN Act or any equivalent state or local Laws.

(j) During the Interim Period, Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make natural Persons engaged by Seller as independent contractors available to Buyer for the purpose of allowing Buyer to interview each such contractor for the purposes of determining the nature and extent of each such Person’s continuation with Buyer, if any. During the Interim Period, Seller shall provide to Buyer contact information for third-party service providers providing contingent personnel to the Business and reasonably cooperate in identifying such contingent work force to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer.

(k) The provisions of this Section 4.8 are solely for the benefit of the Parties and shall not be construed to confer any benefits or rights or remedies (including any third party beneficiary rights) on any other Person. No provision of this Agreement will be construed to (i) establish, amend, modify, or terminate or limit the ability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to amend, modify, or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, contract, policy, agreement, or arrangement, or (ii) confer on any Person any right to employment or service or any particular term or condition of employment or service with Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or limit the ability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment or service of any Person at any time and for any or no reason.

4.9 Confidentiality. For two years following the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its Affiliates to, hold in confidence and not disclose to any Person other than Seller’s legal, Tax, accounting, banking, or other professional advisers, any Confidential Information. If Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives are compelled to disclose any Confidential Information by judicial or administrative Proceeding (but specifically excluding any disclosure required by applicable Law), Seller shall notify Buyer and shall disclose only that portion of such Confidential Information that Seller is advised by its counsel (including in-house counsel) is legally required to be disclosed. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s sole expense, to obtain an appropriate protective Order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

05466425.6 37

The provisions of this Section 4.9 will not apply to any information or data used exclusively in the operation of the Excluded Assets or relating to the Excluded Liabilities.

4.10 Public Announcements. Each Party will not, and will cause its Affiliates and its Representatives not to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to the economic or other material terms of the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned); provided that a Party may, without the prior written consent of the other Party, issue or cause publication of any such press release or public announcement or filing with the SEC to the extent that such Party reasonably determines, after consultation with legal counsel, such action is required by applicable Law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, or pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service, in which event such Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to allow the other Parties reasonable time to comment on such press release, public announcement or SEC filing in advance of its issuance, publication, or filing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall work together in good faith to issue, individually or collectively, in connection with the execution of this Agreement a press release or releases announcing the Transactions and the anticipated go-forward relationship of the Parties thereafter as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including the announcement of the same to investors in, and discussion regarding the same with analysts of, any publicly-traded Affiliate of Seller).

4.11 Debt Financing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Buyer will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment or on such other terms and conditions that would not reasonably be expected to delay the Closing in any material respect or reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing to an amount that, when taken together with Parent’s cash on hand, would not be sufficient to make the Required Payments at Closing; (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment applicable to Parent or Buyer that are within its control; and (iii) enforce its rights under the Debt Financing Commitment in the event of any breach or threatened breach thereof.

(b) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitment, each of Parent and Buyer will, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to arrange alternative financing from alternative sources on terms and conditions that would not reasonably be expected to delay the Closing in any material respect or reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing to an amount that, when taken together with Parent’s cash on hand, would not be sufficient to make the Required Payments at Closing; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, completing the Debt Financing is not a condition to Closing. To the extent Parent and Buyer obtain alternative financing pursuant to this Section 4.11(b), references

05466425.6 38

to the Debt Financing, the Debt Financing Commitment, and the Debt Financing Sources (and other like terms in this Agreement) will be deemed to refer to such alternative financing.

(c) To the extent reasonably requested from time to time by Seller, Parent and Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed of the status of Parent’s efforts to obtain the Debt Financing and to satisfy the conditions thereof, including advising and updating Seller, in a reasonable level of detail, with respect to status, proposed closing date, and material terms of the definitive documentation related to the Debt Financing. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and Buyer will give Seller prompt notice of (i) any breach by any party to the Debt Financing Commitment that Buyer or Parent becomes aware of that would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in Parent being unable to obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment or that would reasonably be expected to delay the Closing in any material respect or (ii) any repudiation, cancellation, or termination of the Debt Financing Commitment by any party to the Debt Financing Commitment.

4.12 Debt Financing Cooperation.

(a) Prior to Closing and subject in all respects to Section 4.12(b), Seller will, and will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its Representatives to, provide to Parent and Buyer, in each case at the sole cost and expense of Parent and Buyer, upon reasonable notice and on a timely basis, such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Parent, Buyer, or the Debt Financing Sources to assist Buyer and Parent in causing the conditions described in the Debt Financing Commitment that relate to any information about Seller, the Business, or the Acquired Assets with respect to pre-Closing periods to be satisfied and all other commercially reasonable cooperation as is reasonably necessary or requested by Parent, Buyer, or the Debt Financing Sources in connection with obtaining, arranging, and consummating the Debt Financing in accordance with its terms, including cooperation that consists of:

(i) providing Parent and Buyer as promptly as reasonably practicable with such readily available financial and other information regarding the Business and Acquired Assets as may be necessary in connection with any Debt Financing or as otherwise reasonably requested by Parent or Buyer in connection therewith, including furnishing Parent, Buyer, and the sources of the Debt Financing with the financial information set forth in Exhibit C of the Debt Financing Commitment;

(iv) assisting Parent and Buyer in connection with the preparation and registration of any pledge and security documents, supplemental indentures, currency or interest hedging arrangements, and other definitive financing agreements or documents (including any related schedules, annexes, and exhibits thereto) as may be reasonably requested by Parent, Buyer, or the Debt Financing Sources, and otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral and the granting of security interests in the Acquired Assets with respect to the Debt Financing, it being understood that such documents will not be recorded or take effect until the Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives will be required to execute or enter into any certificate, instrument, Contract, or other document in connection with the Financing, including any solvency certificate in each case, that is not contingent upon Closing; (ii) nothing herein will require cooperation or other actions or efforts on the part of Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives in connection with the Financing to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of Seller or its Affiliates; (iii) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives will be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee, to incur any other Liability, or to enter into any Contract or other instrument or document (including grants of security interests or pledging of collateral) in connection with the Debt Financing that is not contingent upon Closing; and (iv) nothing herein will require Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives to adopt resolutions approving or otherwise approve or execute the Contracts, documents, or instruments pursuant to which the Debt Financing is made.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to (and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause their respective Representatives to), hold in confidence and not disclose to any Person other than their respective legal, Tax, accounting, banking, or other professional advisers and the Debt Financing Sources or any Debt Financing Sources Related Parties, any information furnished to or obtained by Parent, Buyer, or the sources of the Financing pursuant to this Section 4.12 (excluding any such information that otherwise is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Parent, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives in violation of this Section 4.12). If either Buyer, Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives are compelled to disclose any such information by judicial or administrative Proceeding (but specifically excluding any disclosure required by applicable Law), Buyer and Parent shall notify Buyer and shall disclose only that portion of such information that Buyer or Parent is advised by its counsel (including in-house counsel) is legally required to be disclosed. Buyer and Parent shall cooperate with Seller, at Seller’s sole expense, to obtain an appropriate protective Order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

(d) Promptly upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 (other than pursuant to Section 6.1(c)) and notwithstanding Section 8.1, Buyer and Parent will reimburse Seller for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by any of them in connection with their obligations pursuant to this Section 4.12; provided that Seller, and not Parent and Buyer, will be responsible for (i) fees payable to existing legal, financial, or other advisors of Seller and its Representatives with respect to services provided on or prior to the Closing, (ii) any ordinary course amounts payable to existing employees of or consultants or advisors to Seller with respect to services provided on or prior to the Closing, and (iii) any amounts that would have been incurred in connection with the Transactions regardless of the Debt Financing (including the preparation, execution, and delivery of financial information and the Lien Release Letters), except, in each case with respect to clauses (ii) or (iii), to the extent such amounts are included as Current Liabilities for purposes of the purchase price adjustments in Section 1.3.

4.13 Rights to Seller Names and Marks. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document or any other Contract between Seller and Buyer or any of its Affiliates, Buyer and its Affiliates shall cease and discontinue all use in commerce of any of the Seller Names and Marks on or in connection with any of the Acquired Assets within 60 days after the Closing, including by removing any Seller Names and Marks displayed on any pre-printed stationery, business cards, purchase orders, invoices, and other similar correspondence, and all printed and online materials used or held for use following the Closing; provided that nothing in the foregoing sentence will require Buyer to remove any of the foregoing from any Business Record.

4.14 Schedule Supplements. From the date hereof until forty eight hours prior to Closing, Seller may supplement or amend the Seller Disclosure Letter with respect to any new Business Contracts that are entered into by and between the Company and party during such time (each a “Schedule Supplement”), provided that, such new Business Contracts shall be entered into in accordance with Section 4.1. The disclosures in any Schedule Supplement will not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy or breach in any representation or warranty contained in Article II, including for purposes of indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding Buyer’s or Parent’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article VI, if Buyer and Parent elect to close the Transactions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties will be assessed as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing with reference to any Schedule Supplement as though such Schedule Supplement had been included in the Seller Disclosure Letter originally delivered on the date hereof.

4.15 R&W Insurance. As of the date of this Agreement, Buyer has bound a buyer-side representation and warranty policy in the face amount of $18,000,000, a true and correct copy of such policy is attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “R&W Insurance Policy”).

For a period of five years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall retain the Business Records in accordance with Parent’s documentation retention policy and, upon reasonable notice, afford Seller reasonable access (including the right to make photocopies or electronic copies at Seller’s expense) during normal business hours to such Business Records to enable Seller or its Affiliate Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. to prepare financial statements, respond to any proceeding or inquiry by a Government Entity, or otherwise comply with applicable Law. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate, to the extent requested by the other Party and at such other Party’s expense, in connection with the preparation of audited financial statements and related financial and other disclosures that may be required to be included in any registration statement or report filed by the other Party under federal securities Laws pertaining to the Acquired Assets or any portion thereof, including (a) retaining and promptly providing such records and information to the extent the records and information are reasonably relevant to any such audited financial statements and related financial and other disclosures and (b) making employees available on a mutually convenient basis during normal business hours to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(iii) the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Restrictive Covenants are necessary for the protection and preservation of the value and the goodwill of Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ businesses, including the Business, and legitimate business interests and are (1) reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects, (2) not overly broad or unduly burdensome, and (3) are given by Seller in consideration of the Purchase Price.

From and after the date of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller will engage in good faith conversations regarding Seller or one of its Affiliates providing payment processing services (in addition to those contemplated by the Services Agreement and including international payment processing and using “Priority CPX” for its vendor payments and automated payments) for Buyer’s and its Affiliate’s payment business and similar lines of business on terms mutually agreeable to the Parties.

4.19 Nondisparagement.

(a) Seller shall direct its c-level officers and directors while in such capacity not to make, or cause to be made, any statement that may be reasonably anticipated to become public (whether oral or written) that disparages, or may be reasonably anticipated to harm the reputation or business of, Buyer or Parent.

ARTICLE VI

TERMINATION

6.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Parties;

(b) by any Party upon written notice to the other Parties, if:

(i) the Closing has not occurred within 90 days of the date of this Agreement, unless the failure to consummate the Transactions by such date is the result of a breach by Buyer or Parent (in the case of termination by Buyer or Parent) or Seller (in the case of termination by Seller) in any material respect of their respective obligations or covenants under this Agreement; or

(ii) a court of competent jurisdiction or other Government Entity issues a final, non-appealable Order, or taken any other action, or any Law exists, in each case, that prevents or otherwise prohibits the Closing or that otherwise has the effect of making the Closing or the Transactions illegal;

(c) by Buyer or Parent (so long as neither Buyer nor Parent is in material default or breach of this Agreement), if Seller breaches or fails to perform its representations, warranties, or covenants contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, but only if such breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b) and (ii) has not been cured within 30 days after the date that Buyer and Parent notify Seller in writing of such breach; or

(d) by Seller (so long as Seller is not in material default or breach of this Agreement), if either Buyer or Parent breaches or fails to perform its representations, warranties, or covenants contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, but only if such breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.3(b) or (ii) has not been cured within 30 days after the date that Seller notifies Buyer or Parent, as applicable, in writing of such breach.

6.2 Effect of Termination. If any Party terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1, this Agreement will terminate, become void, and no longer be of any force or effect, except that (i) the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 4.9, Section 4.10, this Section 6.2, and Article VIII (other than Section 8.2) will survive such termination indefinitely, and (ii) nothing in this Section 6.2 will relieve any Party for any intentional breach of this Agreement.

05466425.6 46

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Parties set forth in this Agreement will survive the Closing until the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date, except that (a) the Fundamental Representations will survive until the date that is six years after the Closing Date and (b) the representations and warranties in Section 2.6 (Tax Matters) and Section 2.11 (Employee Benefits) will survive until the date that is 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations and warranties related to any claim for indemnification asserted under this Article VII within the relevant time period set forth in this Section 7.1 will survive (but only for the purpose of resolution of such claims) until all such claims have been finally resolved and any required payment in respect thereof has been made. All covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement (a) that are required to be performed prior to the Closing will expire on the Closing Date, and (b) that are required to be performed at or after the Closing will survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms.

7.2 General Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the provisions contained in this Article VII, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, Parent, and their respective Affiliates, Representatives, successors, and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) in respect of any Losses that any Buyer Indemnified Person incurs, sustains, or suffers as a result of, relating to, or caused by:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Seller in Article II or in any other Transaction Document;

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Buyer or Parent contained in Article III;

(ii) any nonfulfillment of or breach by Buyer or Parent of any covenant, agreement, or other obligation made by Buyer or Parent in this Agreement;

05466425.6 47

(iii) any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Persons in connection with Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 4.12 other than to the extent any such Losses are suffered or incurred as a result of Fraud; or

(iv) any Assumed Liabilities.

7.3 Limitations on Indemnification by Seller. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7.2(a), other than in the case of Fraud, the indemnification obligations of Seller under this Article VII are subject to the following limitations:

(a) Seller will not be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person in respect of any Losses for which indemnity is or may be claimed under Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.6 (Tax Matters)) unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses for which indemnification is being claimed equals or exceeds the Buyer Retention Amount, in which event the amount of Losses in excess of the Buyer Retention Amount up to the Initial Cap will be paid in accordance with Section 7.6(a).

(b) Seller will not be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons in respect of any Losses for which indemnity is or may be claimed under Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.6 (Tax Matters)) to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Initial Cap.

(c) In no event will the aggregate amount of Losses for which Seller will be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons or be otherwise liable under this Agreement (including any Losses indemnifiable under Section 7.2(a)(i), Section 7.2(a)(ii), or Section 7.2(a)(iii)) and the other Transaction Documents exceed the Purchase Price.

(d) The R&W Insurance Policy plus recovery from the Escrow Amount will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to any Fundamental Representation and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.6 (Tax Matters)).

7.4 Limitations on Indemnification by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7.2(b), other than in the case of Fraud, the indemnification obligations of Buyer are subject to the following limitations:

(a) Neither Buyer nor Parent will be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Person in respect of any Losses for which indemnity is or may be claimed under Section 7.2(b)(i) (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations), unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses for which indemnification is being claimed equals or exceeds the Buyer Retention Amount, in which event the amount of Losses in excess of the Buyer Retention Amount will be paid in accordance with Section 7.6(b).

05466425.6 48

(b) In no event will the aggregate amount of Losses for which Buyer or Parent will be required to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Persons or be otherwise liable under this Agreement (including any Losses indemnifiable under Section 7.2(b)(i), Section 7.2(b)(ii), Section 7.2(b)(iii), or Section 7.2(b)(iv)) and the other Transaction Document exceed the Purchase Price.

7.5 Other Limitations.

(a) Other than in the case of Fraud, the remedies provided in this Article VII, subject to the limitations set forth herein, will be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Buyer Indemnified Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons with respect to any and all claims resulting from, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or the Transactions (except for any other remedies expressly set forth in Section 1.3, Section 4.17, and Section 8.9 and subject to any additional limitations or remedies as may otherwise be set forth in the Services Agreement, in each case, with respect to matters resulting from or arising out of the Services Agreement, as applicable). Subject to the foregoing, no Party will have any other rights or remedies in connection with any breach of this Agreement or any other claim arising out of the negotiation, entry into, or consummation of the Transactions for the recovery of Losses resulting from, relating to, or arising out of this Agreement.

(b) For the purpose of (i) determining whether an inaccuracy exists or a breach has occurred with respect to a representation or warranty contained in Article II or Article III (other than with respect to Section 2.7(a)) and (ii) calculating the amount of Losses with respect to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, any materiality, Material Adverse Effect, or similar qualification in such representations and warranties will be disregarded.

(c) Each Indemnified Party shall use, and to cause their respective Affiliates to use, Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate any Losses that form the basis of any claim for indemnification by such Indemnified Party under this Article VII.

(d) In no event will any Indemnifying Party be responsible or liable for any Loss or other amounts under this Article VII representing exemplary damages or punitive damages, except to the extent such Losses are paid or payable with respect to a Third-Party Claim.

7.6 Manner of Payment; Insurance.

(a) Any indemnification owing by Seller (i) pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to any Fundamental Representation and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.6 (Tax Matters)) for Losses in excess of the Buyer Retention Amount will be paid (1) first from the Escrow Amount up to the Initial Cap and (2) thereafter from the R&W Insurance Policy, or (ii) pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) (solely with respect to any Fundamental Representation and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.6 (Tax Matters)), Section 7.2(a)(ii), or Section 7.2(a)(iii) will be paid by Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the applicable Buyer

05466425.6 49

Indemnified Person within 10 Business Days after the final determination of the amount of such Losses thereof.

(b) Any indemnification owing by Buyer or Parent pursuant to this Article VII will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the applicable Seller Indemnified Person within 10 Business Days after the final determination of the amount of such Losses thereof.

(c) The amount of any Losses subject to indemnification by a Indemnifying Party hereunder will be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies, other sources of indemnification, or otherwise with respect to such Losses (net of documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such recovery).

(d) Following the Closing, and without affecting the Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification hereunder (unless proceeds are actually recovered), the Indemnified Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to pursue any available claims under applicable insurance policies (including the R&W Insurance Policy); provided that in no event will any Indemnified Party be required to seek recovery under such insurance policies prior to submitting a claim for indemnification in accordance with this Article VII. In the event an Indemnified Party receives any recovery from insurers or otherwise with respect to such Losses after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment in respect of such Losses, the Indemnified Party shall refund to the Indemnifying Party the amount actually received by it (net of any expenses incurred by such Person in collecting such amounts).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, with respect to all claims for Losses made pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to any Fundamental Representation and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.6 (Tax Matters)), to the extent that the procedures in this Article VII are inconsistent with the procedures in the R&W Insurance Policy with regard to matters such as notice, control, settlement, or defense of claims, the procedures in the R&W Insurance Policy will control; provided that this Section 7.6(e) does not relieve any Indemnified Party from any obligations under this Article VII to give notice of a claim to the Indemnifying Party.

7.7 Third Party Claims. If any Proceeding is initiated by any Third Party (any such Proceeding, a “Third Party Claim”) against any Person entitled to seek indemnification under this Article VII (an “Indemnified Party”), and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification with respect thereto under this Article VII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, after receipt of written notice of such Proceeding, provide written notice of such Proceeding to the Party or Parties from whom the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”), which notice must describe such Proceeding in reasonable detail and the amount claimed in respect thereof (if known and quantifiable); provided that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to so notify. The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such Proceeding giving rise to an Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, and, at its option but subject to the limitations set forth below,

05466425.6 50

will be entitled to assume control of the defense thereof through counsel of its choosing in connection with such defense within 30 days of its receipt of notice of the Proceeding; provided that:

(a) the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate (at its sole cost) in the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing, provided that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party;

(b) the Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) in the written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with regard to the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to acknowledge in writing its indemnification obligation with respect to such Third Party Claim, or (iii) such Third Party Claim is related to Taxes; and

(c) if the Indemnifying Party elects control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before ceasing to defend such claim or entering into any settlement of a Proceeding unless the settlement involves only payment of money damages, all such money damages will be the responsibility of, and paid by, the Indemnifying Party, the settlement does not impose any injunctive or other equitable relief, and the settlement unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities with respect to such claim.

7.8 Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party with respect to a claim for indemnity under this Article VII that does not result from a claim by a Third Party (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, stating the nature of such claim in reasonable detail and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party), and asserting the amount, if known, or if not known, an estimate of the foreseeable maximum amount of claimed Losses resulting from such claim (which estimate will not be conclusive of the final amount of such Losses) (an “Indemnity Notice”); provided that no such claim will be effective if the Indemnity Notice was not delivered to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 7.1. The failure of the Indemnified Party to provide an Indemnity Notice to the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to so notify. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within 60 days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim (the “Dispute Notice”), the claim will be resolved as provided pursuant to Section 8.12, Section 8.13, and Section 8.14. If the Indemnifying Party does not timely deliver a Dispute Notice, or delivers a Dispute Notice that does not object to all of the Losses set forth in the Indemnity Notice, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have accepted and agreed with all or such portion of the claim and will be conclusively deemed to have consented to the recovery by the Indemnified Party of all or such portion of the Losses specified in the Indemnity Notice.

7.9 Purchase Price Adjustment. All indemnification payments made under this Article VII will constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless (a) a final determination (which includes the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to any such

05466425.6 51

payment causes such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes or (b) as otherwise required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (a) Buyer Parties shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer, Parent, and their Affiliates in connection with the negotiation, preparation, and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, and (i) 50% of the total premium, underwriting costs, brokerage commission, and Taxes related to the R&W Insurance Policy and (ii) 50% of the filing and other similar fees payable in connection with any filings or submissions under the Antitrust Laws; and (b) Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the negotiation, preparation, and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, including (i) the fees and expenses of any advisors, experts, brokers, finders, consultants, accountants, auditors, lawyers, investment bankers, or other advisors, (ii) any change of control or sale of business payments, bonuses, severance, termination obligations, or similar amounts payable by Seller as a result of the consummation of the Transactions, (iii) any fees and expenses associated with obtaining necessary or appropriate waivers, consents, or approvals on behalf of Seller in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, (iv) any fees or expenses associated with obtaining the release and termination of any Liens in connection with the Transactions, (v) 50% of the total premium, underwriting costs, brokerage commission, and Taxes related to the R&W Insurance Policy, and (vi) 50% of the filing and other similar fees payable in connection with any filings or submissions under the Antitrust Laws (collectively, in the case of this clause (b), the “Seller Expenses”).

8.2 Further Assurances. Each Party shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, from time to time at the request of another Party, without any additional consideration, furnish such requesting party such further information or assurances, execute, and deliver such additional documents, instruments, and conveyances, and take such other actions and do such other things, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and give effect to the Transactions.

8.3 Consent to Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, or any provision of this Agreement may be waived upon the approval, in writing, executed by the Parties; provided that the provisions set forth in this Section 8.3, Section 8.10, or Section 8.17 (and any related definitions that affect such Sections) may not be amended, supplemented, waived, or otherwise modified in a manner adverse to the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Debt Financing Source. No course of dealing between the Parties will be deemed effective to modify, amend, or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any such Party or such holder under or by reason of this Agreement.

8.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all covenants and agreements contained herein and rights, interests or obligations hereunder, by or on behalf of any of the

05466425.6 52

Parties, will bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of Parties whether so expressed or not, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the covenants and agreements herein or rights, interests, or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by Seller prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of Buyer or by Buyer or Parent without the prior written consent of Seller; provided further that Buyer and its permitted assigns may at any time assign, in whole or in part, (a) its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to one or more of their Affiliates, and (b) its rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents for collateral security purposes to any lender to Buyer or any of its Affiliates (provided that no such permitted assignment contemplated by clauses (a) or (b) will release Buyer or Parent of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document).

8.5 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance is held to be prohibited by, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable Law in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition, illegality, or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

8.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by means of facsimile or scanned and emailed signature pages or by other means of electronic execution), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same agreement.

8.7 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The headings and captions used in this Agreement and the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The word “or” will not be exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” will mean to the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase will not mean simply “if”. References to “written” or “in writing” include electronic form. The words “hereof,” “herein,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole (including the Seller Disclosure Letter and the Annexes and Exhibits hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and all Article, Section, Schedule, Annex, and Exhibit references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Where this Agreement states that a Party “will,” “shall,” or “must” perform in some manner or otherwise act or omit to act, it means that such Party is legally obligated to do so in accordance with this Agreement. The meanings given to terms defined herein will be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun includes the corresponding masculine, feminine, and neuter forms. All references to “dollars” or “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. Any reference in this Agreement to a “day” or a number of “days” (without explicit reference to “Business Day”) will be deemed references to a calendar day or number of calendar days. If any action is to be taken or given on or by a particular calendar day, and such calendar day is not a

05466425.6 53

Business Day, then such action may be deferred until the next Business Day. Any reference to a specific Law will include all amendments or restatements to such Law as in effect from time to time and any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder.

8.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any way.

8.9 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the Parties will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for any violation by any Party of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, subject to the terms of Section 4.17(c) and Section 7.5(a), in addition to any other remedies that may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements, each of the Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, without proof of actual damages, including an injunction or injunctions or Orders for specific performance to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at Law or in equity, as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach. Each Party further agrees that no Party or any other Person will be required to obtain, furnish, or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.9, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing, or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. Subject to and without limiting the rights arising under Section 4.17(c) or Section 6.1, each Party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

8.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except with respect to the Buyer Indemnified Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give any Person, other than the Parties and such permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder; provided that the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties are express third party beneficiaries of Section 8.3, this Section 8.10, and Section 8.17, and each of such Sections shall expressly inure to the benefit of the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties and the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties shall be entitled to rely on and enforce the provisions of such Sections.

8.11 Schedules, Annexes, and Exhibits. The Seller Disclosure Letter and all Annexes and Exhibits attached hereto or referred to herein are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

8.12 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws thereof.

05466425.6 54

8.13 Consent of Jurisdiction.

(a) Subject to Section 8.13(b), each of the Parties irrevocably consents, agrees, and submits itself and its property to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Court”), for the purpose of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, and each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that all claims with respect to such Proceedings may be heard and determined exclusively in the Chosen Court. Each of the Parties (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Chosen Court in the event any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any Chosen Court, (c) irrevocably consents to the service of process in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, on behalf of itself and its property, by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 8.15, and (d) agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding relating to this Agreement and the Transactions in any court other than the Chosen Court. The Parties agree that a final trial court judgment in any such Proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law; provided that nothing in the foregoing will restrict any Party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. This Section 8.13 will not be construed as a waiver of any Party’s right to seek enforcement of a decision of the Chosen Court before any other courts, whether in the U.S. or abroad.

(b) If, and only if, the Chosen Court would not have jurisdiction over all or any portion of a Proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions (all or such portion of such Proceeding so declined by the Chosen Court, an “Arbitration Action”), the Parties agree that the Arbitration Action will be finally settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.13(b) will prevent either Party from seeking interim injunctive relief in the Chosen Court to prevent irreparable injury pending appointment of the arbitrators pursuant to this Section 8.13(b).

8.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to trial by jury in respect of any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. Each Party acknowledges that it and the other Parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver in this Section 8.14.

8.15 Notices. All notices, demands, or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given when delivered personally to the recipient or when sent by email if delivery is confirmed by electronic confirmation, three Business Days after being sent to recipient by U.S. First Class mail (postage prepaid), or one Business Day after being sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid). Such notices, demands, and other communications must be sent to Buyer or Parent, on the one hand, and to Seller, on the other hand, at the addresses indicated below or to such other address or to the attention of such other
