(j) At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer evidence that the Stockholders Agreement shall have been terminated effective as of the Closing; notwithstanding the foregoing, such evidence shall provide that the termination shall not affect any of the obligations under Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 5.1 of the Stockholders Agreement.

Section 2.07 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Promptly, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Representative a statement, duly certified by an authorized officer of Buyer as accurately setting forth Buyer’s good faith determination of (i) (A) the Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (B) the Working Capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (C) the Cash of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (D) the unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Closing, together with (x) the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries from which such determinations were derived, and (y) such other relevant information on which the calculations reflected on such statement are based, and (ii) the Actual Merger Consideration derived from the foregoing (such statement, together with such accompanying balance sheet and other information, the “Closing Statement”). Buyer shall deliver such work papers and other documents and information supporting the Closing Statement and the calculations therein as the Representative may reasonably request. If the Representative does not receive a Closing Statement within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Estimated Indebtedness, the Estimated Working Capital, the Estimated Cash, the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses, and the Estimated Merger Consideration shall be deemed the Actual Indebtedness, the Actual Working Capital, the Actual Cash, the Actual Company Transaction Expenses and the Actual Merger Consideration, respectively, and shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties.

(b) The Representative shall have reasonable access to all books and records and work papers (including those of Buyer’s and the Surviving Corporation’s accountants and auditors) relating to the Closing Statement and all other items reasonably requested by the Representative related thereto. If the Representative disagrees with Buyer’s determination of the Indebtedness, Working Capital, Cash, and/or the Company Transaction Expenses, in each case as reflected on the Closing Statement, the Representative may, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Closing Statement, deliver a written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer setting forth the Representative’s calculation of each disputed amount (each an “Item of Dispute”). If Buyer does not receive a Dispute Notice within forty-five (45) days after delivery by Buyer of the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties.

If Buyer receives a Dispute Notice from the Representative within forty-five (45) days after delivery by Buyer of the Closing Statement, Buyer and the Representative shall use reasonable efforts to resolve each Item of Dispute, and, if any Item of Dispute is so resolved, the Closing Statement shall be modified to the extent necessary to reflect such resolution. If any Item of Dispute remains unresolved as of the twentieth (20th) day after delivery by the Representative of the Dispute Notice, Buyer and the Representative shall jointly retain the Chicago office of Duff & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to resolve such remaining disagreement; provided that, if the Chicago office (or another office) of Duff & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is then unavailable for such purposes, Buyer and the Representative shall jointly retain an independent valuation firm of recognized national standing to resolve such remaining disagreement; provided, further, that, in such case, if Buyer and the Representative are unable to agree on the choice of such firm, then such firm will be a nationally recognized valuation firm selected by lot (after the Representative and Buyer shall have each submitted two proposed firms and then excluded one firm designated by the other party) (the firm actually retained pursuant to this sentence, the “Valuation Firm”). Buyer and the Representative shall request that the Valuation Firm render a determination as to each unresolved Item of Dispute within thirty (30) days after its retention, and shall instruct the Valuation Firm to base such determination solely on information provided to the Valuation Firm by Buyer and the Representative and not on an independent review. Buyer and the Representative shall, and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of their respective agents and representatives to, cooperate fully with the Valuation Firm so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and accurately as reasonably practicable, including the provision by Buyer and the Surviving Corporation of all books and records and work papers (including those of their accountants and auditors) relating to the Closing Statement and all other items reasonably requested by the Valuation Firm (in each case in such a manner so as not to waive or eliminate any privilege applicable to any such information). The Valuation Firm shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator and shall consider only those items and amounts that were set forth on the Closing Statement and the Dispute Notice and that remain unresolved by Buyer and the Representative. In resolving any Item of Dispute, the Valuation 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, on the Closing Statement or the Dispute Notice, as applicable. The Valuation Firm’s determination(s) shall be based upon the definitions of Indebtedness, Working Capital, Cash, and/or Company Transaction Expenses (as applicable) included herein. The Valuation Firm’s determination of each Item of Dispute submitted to it shall be in writing, shall conform to this Section 2.07 and shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties, and the Closing Statement shall be modified to the extent necessary to reflect such determination(s). The Valuation Firm shall allocate its fees, costs and expenses between Buyer on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and the Optionholders) on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each such Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party. The Indebtedness, the Working Capital, the Cash, and the Company Transaction Expenses, in each case as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.07, are referred to herein as the “Actual Indebtedness,” the “Actual Working Capital,” the “Actual Cash,” and the “Actual Company Transaction Expenses,” respectively. Following the determination of Actual Indebtedness, Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash, and Actual Company Transaction Expenses, the Estimated Merger Consideration shall be recalculated substituting the Actual Working Capital for the Estimated Working Capital, the Actual Cash for the Estimated Cash, the Actual Indebtedness for the Estimated Indebtedness, and the Actual Company Transaction Expenses for

the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses. The parties hereto agree that the purpose of determining Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness, Actual Company Transaction Expenses, Actual Working Capital and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.07 is to measure the amount of Cash, Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses, and Working Capital as compared to the Company’s estimates prepared pursuant to Section 2.05(b), and such processes are not intended to (i) permit the introduction of different or new judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies or (ii) adjust for errors or omissions that may be found with respect to the Financial Statements or any inconsistencies between the Financial Statements and GAAP.

(c) Payments to Buyer. If the Actual Merger Consideration calculated pursuant to Section 2.07 is less than the Estimated Merger Consideration, the Representative and Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days after determination of the Actual Merger Consideration, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to (i) pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, from the Adjustment Escrow Account, an amount equal to the excess of the Estimated Merger Consideration over the Actual Merger Consideration, up to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount, together with any earnings thereon, and (ii) release to the Representative the balance remaining (if any) in the Adjustment Escrow Account, including any earnings thereon (after any payment made to Buyer from the Adjustment Escrow Account pursuant to the immediately foregoing clause (i)), to be paid to the Stockholders and In-the-Money Optionholders in the percentages as set forth on the Ownership Schedule. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Representative, the Stockholders or the Optionholders be required to make any payments in respect of any adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.07 in excess of the then-remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account, including any earnings thereon, or from any source of funds other than the Adjustment Escrow Account.

(d) Payments by Buyer. If the Actual Merger Consideration calculated pursuant to Section 2.07(b) is greater than or equal to the Estimated Merger Consideration, within five (5) Business Days after determination of the Actual Merger Consideration, (i) Buyer shall pay to the Paying Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, cash in an amount equal to the excess of the Actual Merger Consideration over the Estimated Merger Consideration, up to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount, to be paid to the Stockholders and In-the-Money Optionholders in the percentages as set forth on the Ownership Schedule and (ii) the Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release to the Paying Agent the entire balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account, including any earnings thereon, to be paid to the Stockholders and In-the-Money Optionholders in the percentages as set forth on the Ownership Schedule. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, without limitation on Buyer’s obligations pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 2.07, in no event shall Buyer be required to make any payments in respect of any adjustments pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.07 in excess of the Adjustment Escrow Amount.

(e) All adjustment payments made pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes and, except to the extent required by applicable Laws, the Parties agree not to take any position inconsistent with such treatment on any Tax Return.

Section 2.08 Appraisal Rights. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Stock that is held by a Person who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing or executed an enforceable waiver of appraisal rights and (whether before or after the date of this Agreement) with respect to which appraisal rights under the DGCL have been properly exercised, shall not be converted into the right to receive any portion of the Stock Consideration and instead shall be converted into the right to receive payment from the Surviving Corporation with respect thereto as provided by the DGCL, unless and until the holder of any such share has failed to perfect or has effectively withdrawn or lost his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, in which case such share shall thereupon be deemed, as of the Effective Time, to have been cancelled and retired and to have ceased to exist and been converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Article 2, without interest, in accordance with this Agreement, the Stock Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that upon and subject to the Company’s delivery, at the direction of and on behalf of OCM Drum Investors, L.P., of the Drag-Along Notice (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) and as contemplated by Section 5.05 hereof, each Stockholder will be deemed to have waived any applicable appraisal and/or dissenters rights in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

Section 2.09 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely by the exchange of documents and signatures on the later of (a) the second (2nd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (other than those conditions to be satisfied at the Closing itself, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) or such other date as the Parties may mutually determine and (b) the earlier of (i) such date as Buyer’s lenders are prepared to fund the commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter as specified by Buyer on not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Company and (ii) September 30, 2021 (the actual date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”). For purposes of calculating all Closing amounts to be paid hereunder at the Closing (including amounts to be set forth in the Closing Certificate), the Closing shall be deemed to occur at 12:00 a.m. Los Angeles time on the Closing Date.

Section 2.10 Withholding. Buyer, the Company, and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, may deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to any Person in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement such amounts that Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, that Buyer shall (a) provide written notice to the Representative of any such requirement to deduct or withhold (other than with respect to the Closing Option Payments) at least ten (10) days before the payment to which such deduction or withholding would apply (which notice shall (i) include a copy of the calculation of the amount to be deducted and withheld and (ii) identify any applicable provision of the Code or state, local or foreign Tax Law pursuant to which such deduction or withholding is required) and (b) cooperate with any request to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent that Buyer satisfies its notice obligation, any such amounts that are deducted and withheld, and timely paid in full to the appropriate taxing authority by Buyer, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(ii) Buyer shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter without the Company’s prior written consent if such amendment, modification or waiver would reasonably be expected to (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount as compared to the fees and original issue discount contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter on the date hereof, other than through the exercise of any “market flex” provisions contained or referenced in the Debt Commitment Letter) to a level that would be insufficient to refinance the outstanding debt of the Buyer required in connection with the Merger or as otherwise contemplated by this

Agreement and the fees and expenses in connection therewith, (B) impose any new or additional material conditions precedent to the Debt Financing, (C) adversely impact the conditionality, enforceability or availability of the Debt Financing in any material way or (D) prevent, impair or delay in any material way the consummation of the Debt Financing; provided, however, that Buyer may amend or restate the Debt Commitment Letter to (1) add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities as parties thereto who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof (2) implement or exercise any “market flex” provisions contained or referenced in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof and (3) otherwise amend, modify or restate the Debt Commitment Letter in any manner not inconsistent with this sentence. Buyer shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification or waiver.

(iii) Buyer shall provide the Company with prompt written notice (and, in any event, within two business days) of (A) any termination, repudiation, cancellation or expiration of the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive agreement related to the Debt Financing, (B) any material breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or default) under the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Debt Financing by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or such definitive document related to the Debt Financing, (C) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from a financing source for the Debt Financing with respect to any actual, threatened or potential material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Debt Financing of any provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Debt Financing; and (D) of the occurrence of an event or development that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the ability of Buyer to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive documents related to the Debt Financing, except with respect to any portion of the Debt Financing that would not cause the Debt Financing to be insufficient to refinance the outstanding debt of the Buyer required in connection with the Merger or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement and the fees and expenses in connection therewith.

(iv) Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) maintain in full force and effect the Debt Commitment Letter until the funding of the Debt Financing at or prior to Closing and negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions contained or referenced in the Debt Commitment Letter (which may reflect “market flex” provisions), (B) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to it in such definitive agreements that are within its control (or, if deemed advisable by Buyer, seek the waiver of such conditions), (C) upon satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, consummate the Debt Financing and cause the lenders and other Persons committing to fund the Debt Financing to fund such Debt Financing at the

Closing, (D) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter and (E) otherwise comply with its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter. Buyer shall not release or consent to the termination of obligations of the financing sources party to the Debt Commitment Letter to the extent that such release or termination would reduce the Debt Financing to a level that would be insufficient to refinance the outstanding debt of the Buyer required in connection with the Merger or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement and the fees and expenses in connection therewith.

(v) In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, (A) Buyer shall promptly notify the Company and (B) Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange to obtain any such portion from the same or alternative sources in an amount sufficient to enable Buyer to refinance any outstanding Indebtedness of the Company as contemplated by this Agreement and the Debt Commitment Letter and any fees and expenses in connection thereof on terms and conditions no less favorable to Buyer (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Buyer) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event (the “Alternative Debt Financing”); provided that such Alternative Debt Financing shall not (1) include any conditions to funding of the Debt Financing that are not contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or (2) reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or delay in any material way the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Buyer shall promptly provide a true, correct and complete copy of each alternative financing commitment in respect of such Alternative Debt Financing (“New Debt Commitment Letter”) to the Company.

(vi) In the event any New Debt Commitment Letter is obtained, (A) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” shall include the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as such term is modified pursuant to the immediately succeeding clause (B), and (B) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letter to the extent not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter at the time in question, and any New Debt Commitment Letters to the extent then in effect. The parties agree that Buyer’s execution of any amendment to the Debt Commitment Letter or a New Debt Commitment Letter shall not materially expand the scope of the assistance required under Section 5.09(b) of this Agreement as compared to the assistance that would be required in connection with the Debt Commitment Letter in effect on the date of this Agreement and the related Debt Financing.

(vii) Upon request of the Company, Buyer shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing or any Alternative Debt Financing.

(b) Preparation of Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are filed or required to be filed after the Closing Date. Each Income Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with past practice, customs and accounting methods of the Company and its Subsidiaries. At least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which any Income Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period is filed, Buyer shall provide to the Representative drafts of such Tax Return and shall, prior to filing thereof, make any changes reasonably requested by the Representative (including to maintain consistency with the applicable past practice, customs and accounting methods) and otherwise obtain the approval of the Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to the filing thereof to the extent such filing could reasonably be expected to impact the Stockholders and/or the Optionholders.

(d) Audits of Tax Returns. Buyer shall promptly notify Representative in writing of any audit, examination or notice of deficiency or other adjustment, assessment or redetermination with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Tax Contest”).

The Representative shall have the right to approve the disposition or settlement of any Tax Contest, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed to the extent the disposition or settlement of any such Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to impact the Stockholders and/or the Optionholders.

(e) Allocation of Taxes for Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Section 6.09, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on or with respect to income, gains, receipts, sales or payments and are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of such Tax related to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the Tax period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period, and the amount of other Taxes for a Straddle Period related to the Pre-Closing Tax Period 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 prior to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(f) 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 and its Subsidiaries for all Tax purposes, and Buyer shall cause the Company to join Buyer’s “consolidated group” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(h)) effective on the day after the Closing Date.

(g) Buyer shall not take any action with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement 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 Notices 2001-16 and 2008-111.

(h) In the event of any dispute between Buyer and the Representative relating to this Section 6.09, the dispute shall be settled by the Valuation Firm (or such other Person reasonably acceptable to each Party) pursuant to procedures similar to those described in Section 2.07(b).

Section 6.10 Transfer Taxes. All sales, use and transfer taxes, registration and real property transfer or gains taxes, stamp taxes, excise taxes, stock transfer taxes, recording charges and similar taxes, fees or charges imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”), together with any interest, penalties or additions to such Transfer Taxes, shall be borne by Buyer. The Representative and Buyer shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of all applicable Laws in connection with the payment of such Transfer Taxes, and shall cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the fullest extent possible under such Laws, the amount of any such Transfer Taxes payable in connection herewith.

Section 6.11 Additional Agreements of Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and Buyer has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and the representations and warranties of the Company expressly and specifically set forth in Article 3, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule. In entering into this Agreement, Buyer agrees and acknowledges that it has relied solely on such independent investigation and not on any factual representations of the Seller Parties, the Company or any of their respective representatives (other than those expressly set forth in Article 3), and Buyer agrees and acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in Article 3, no Seller Party nor any of its Affiliates or representatives make any representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, in respect of any of the assets, liabilities, operations, cash flows or future financial condition of the Company or in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company furnished or made available to Buyer and its representatives (including regarding the completeness or accuracy of, or any omission to state or to disclose, any information, including in the estimates, projections or forecasts or any other information, document or material provided to or made available to Buyer or its Affiliates or representatives in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form, whether written or oral, in expectation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, including meetings, calls or correspondence with management of the Company), and that Buyer has not relied upon any of the foregoing. Such representations and warranties by the Company expressly set forth in Article 3, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule, constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of or regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Buyer understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including in respect of any of the current or historical business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, contracts, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations, or the quality, quantity

or condition of the assets, of the Company and its Subsidiaries or in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries furnished or made available to Buyer and its representatives) are specifically disclaimed by the Company and its Subsidiaries. In connection with Buyer’s investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, Buyer has received certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and certain business plan information. Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties and that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of, and expressly disclaims reliance upon, the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans. Accordingly, Buyer hereby acknowledges that none of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective direct or indirect Affiliates or representatives (or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, members, managers, partners or agents) is making any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, and that Buyer is not relying upon any of the foregoing.

Section 6.12 Consents and Approvals. During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Closing Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company, to obtain the consents, waivers, and approvals of the landlords under the Leases and counterparties to Major Contracts and Other Contracts, in each case, as set forth on Section 6.12 in the Disclosure Schedule and to submit notices to the landlords required under the Leases and submit notices to the counter parties under the Major Contracts and Other Contracts set forth on Section 6.12 in the Disclosure Schedule. The Company shall not be required to: (i) pay any amounts to any third party in connection with obtaining such consents or submitting such notices, (ii) amend, extend, renew, or otherwise modify any Leases, or (iii) provide any additional security for performance under the Leases, including any additional security deposits, collateral, guaranties, or the inclusion of additional guarantors under any Lease guaranty. In addition, the Company shall neither (x) make any financial accommodations or concessions under any Lease to the extent such accommodation or concession would not be taken into account in the calculation of Estimated Merger Consideration, nor (y) agree to any material modification of any of the non-economic terms of any Lease that would survive following the Closing, in each case except with Buyer’s prior written consent.

Section 6.13 RWI Policy. To the extent Buyer pursues obtaining a representation and warranty insurance policy (a “RWI Policy”), the Representative, as well as the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall cooperate with the Buyer and provide such information and documentation as may be reasonably requested to assist Buyer in obtaining such RWI Policy. Any such RWI Policy shall include a provision whereby the insurer expressly waives, and agrees not to pursue, directly or indirectly, any subrogation rights against any Seller Party or its Affiliates, or any former or current general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of any of the foregoing with respect to any claim made by any insured thereunder (except for Fraud). The Representative shall be an intended third party beneficiary under any RWI Policy of the immediately preceding provision. No insured party under the RWI Policy shall waive, amend, modify or otherwise revise this subrogation provision, or allow such provision to be waived, amended, modified, or otherwise revised without the prior written consent of the Representative.

Section 6.14 Aged Accounts Receivable. If Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries receives any payment on any Aged Accounts Receivable during the period beginning on the Closing Date and until December 31, 2021 (the “Collection Period”), the Company or such Subsidiary shall remit such payment, net of any and all fees, costs and expenses actually incurred by Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with collection of such Aged Accounts Receivable (the “Net Proceeds”) to the Representative (for the benefit of the Stockholders and Optionholders), together with an accounting thereof, within 30 Business Days after Buyer’s, the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s receipt thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the sole obligation of Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to the Aged Accounts Receivable shall be to remit the Net Proceeds to the Representative (for the benefit of the Stockholders and Optionholders) and neither Buyer, the Company, nor any of their Affiliates shall have any other Liability with respect to the Aged Accounts Receivable, including, following the end of the Collection Period, any obligation to remit any portion of any Aged Accounts Receivable received following the Collection Period; provided, that Buyer shall not, and shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action with the intent of frustrating or impeding the collection timing or amount with respect to any Aged Accounts Receivables nor the rights of the Representative with respect to the receipt thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Representative (nor any Stockholder or Optionholder) shall have the right to inspect the Buyer’s, Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries Books and Records with respect to any Aged Accounts Receivable; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit any rights of discovery Representative may have under applicable Law in connection with any Action related to the Aged Accounts Receivable.

Section 6.15 Section 280G. To the extent applicable, the Company shall (a) solicit from any Person who (i) is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) and (ii) has a right to any payments and/or benefits in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that would be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code, a waiver of such Person’s right to any such payments and/or benefits, so that all remaining payments and/or benefits applicable to such Person shall not be deemed to be “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code (the “Waived 280G Benefits”), and (b) for all such obtained waivers, submit for approval to the requisite shareholders the Waived 280G Benefits, to the extent and in the manner required under Sections 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) and 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code. No later than five (5) Business Days before the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Buyer or its counsel drafts of the consent, waiver, disclosure statement and calculations necessary to effectuate the approval process for review by Buyer or its counsel. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer evidence that (x) a vote of the requisite shareholders was received in conformance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder, or (y) such requisite shareholder approval has not been obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits, and, as a consequence, the Waived 280G Benefits have not been and shall not be paid or provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Contract, agreement or plan is entered into or negotiated by Buyer or any of its Affiliates and a disqualified individual in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement before

the Closing Date (the “Buyer Arrangements”), Buyer shall provide a copy of such Contract, agreement or plan to the Company at least ten (10) Business Days before the Closing Date and shall cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to calculate or determine the value (for the purposes of Section 280G of the Code) of any payments or benefits provided, granted or contemplated therein, which may be paid, provided or granted in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that could constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code; provided that, in any event, the Company’s failure to include the Buyer Arrangements in the stockholder voting materials described herein as a result of Buyer not fulfilling its obligations under this Section 6.15 will not result in a breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.15.

Neither the Representative nor any agent, employee or any other Representative employed by it shall incur any liability to any Stockholder or In-the-Money Optionholder by virtue of the failure or refusal of the Representative for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or relating to the performance of its other duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting actual fraud.

(c) Any action taken by the Representative on behalf of such Stockholder and In-the-Money Optionholders pursuant to Section 9.01 (an “Authorized Action”) shall be binding on each Stockholder and In-the-Money Optionholder as fully as if such Stockholder and In-the- Money Optionholder had taken such Authorized Action.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.01(b) shall prejudice or limit Buyer’s (or after the Closing, the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’) rights or remedies under or pursuant to (i) Section 2.07, (ii) the Escrow Agreement, (iii) any claim for Fraud against the Person who has committed such Fraud, (iv) the Non-Solicitation Agreement, (v) any claim against an Employee who is a Seller Party in his or her capacity as an Employee (but specifically excluding any of the foregoing in connection with the negotiation or consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, other than any employment or other agreement entered into in connection with such transactions), (vi) any claims against a Seller Party under a Letter of Transmittal or with respect to any breach occurring following the Closing of any surviving obligation under a Contract for any Option, or (vii) any claim against the Representative, in its capacity as such, with respect to any post-Closing obligations of the Representative expressly owed to Buyer or the Company under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement (each an “Allowed Claim”).

(c) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 10.01 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements set forth in this Section 10.01, the Company would not enter into this Agreement or otherwise agree to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.02 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 6.13 (RWI Policy), Section 6.07 (Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification) and Section 10.01 (Non-Survival), this Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.03 Remedies.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Buyer, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, including the right of the Company to cause Buyer to fully perform the terms of this Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to this Agreement and applicable Laws and to thereafter cause this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any Party may have under this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereby waives (a) any defenses in any Action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate, and (b) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. If any Party brings any Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by the other Party, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended for so long as the Party bringing such Action is actively seeking a court order for an injunction or injunctions or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement. In the event of any claim under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to, and the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party, the costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred by the prevailing party in connection with enforcing its rights or defending claims hereunder.

(b) Except solely in the case of Fraud against the Person who has committed such Fraud, all rights, claims and causes of action that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and are those solely of) the Parties. Except solely in the case of Fraud against any Person who has committed such Fraud, no Person who is not a Party, including any current, former or future director, manager, officer, employee, equityholder, member, general or limited partner, controlling Person, agent, representative or Affiliate of any Party, or any current, former or future director, manager, officer, employee, equityholder, member, general or limited partner, controlling Person, agent, representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach, and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. The Parties agree that the Nonparty Affiliates shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.03(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in respect of claims for Fraud against any Person (other than Buyer and Merger Sub, who, for the avoidance of doubt, are not receiving consideration pursuant to this Agreement) who has committed such Fraud, in no event shall such Person have any liability in an aggregate amount in excess of the aggregate consideration directly or indirectly received by such Person pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.03(b) shall prejudice or limit Buyer’s (or after the Closing, the Company’s and its Subsidiaries) rights or remedies under or pursuant to any Allowed Claim.

Section 10.04 Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule, the exhibits hereto, the Confidentiality Agreement and the other documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 10.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Party; provided that Buyer may (i) assign any or all of its respective rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates or to any lender providing financing for the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its respective obligations hereunder; provided, however, that in either case of clause (i) or (ii), Buyer shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its respective obligations hereunder.

Section 10.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of digital imaging and electronic mail, 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.

Section 10.07 Headings; Defined Terms. The section headings and defined terms contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.08 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered personally against written receipt or by electronic mail transmission with confirmation by transmission or mailed by prepaid first class certified mail, return receipt requested, or mailed by overnight courier prepaid, to the Parties at the following addresses (including electronic mail addresses):

Either Party from time to time may change its address (including electronic email address) or other information for the purpose of notices to that Party by giving notice specifying such change to the other Party.

Section 10.09 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10.

Section 10.11 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the Court of Chancery of Delaware in the State of Delaware or, if jurisdiction is unavailable in such courts, the Delaware Superior Court (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”) for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party agrees to commence any such action, suit or proceeding either in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or the Court of Chancery of Delaware in the State of Delaware or, if jurisdiction is unavailable in such courts, the Delaware Superior Court. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 10.11. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the Chosen Courts, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 10.12 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended solely by a writing signed by Buyer and the Company. No waiver by either Party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

Section 10.13 Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The exhibits and schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

Section 10.14 Construction. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party.

Section 10.15 Interpretation. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, (i) words of any gender include each other gender; (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement; (iv) the terms “Article” or “Section” refer to the specified Article or Section of this Agreement; (v) the word “including” means “including without limitation;” (vi) references to “$” are deemed references to United States dollars; and (vii) “ordinary course of business” and similar phrases will mean, with respect to any Person, the ordinary course of such Person’s business consistent with past custom and practice. Wherever there is a reference to a Person’s officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, representatives, relatives or other relations, unless the relevant time of determination of such Persons is expressly stated or the context requires otherwise, such reference shall mean such applicable Persons as of any relevant time of determination (which, for illustrative purposes, in the case of a (a) representation or warranty made as of a specific date, shall mean only as of such date, and (b) covenant or agreement given or made on a continuous basis for a durational period, shall mean as of any relevant time of determination within such period).

Section 10.16 Disclosure Schedule. The information set forth in each section or subsection in the Disclosure Schedule to this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedule”) shall be deemed to provide the information contemplated by, or otherwise qualify, the provisions of this Agreement set forth in the corresponding section or subsection of this Agreement and any other section or subsection of this Agreement, if and to the extent that it could reasonably be concluded that it applies to such other section or subsection of this Agreement and regardless of whether such section or subsection is qualified by reference to the Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule is not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations or warranties of the Company and shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any of such representations or warranties. Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule is included solely for information purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The inclusion of an item in the Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations or warranties of the Company nor shall such information constitute an admission by any Party that such item constitutes an item, event, circumstance or occurrence that is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries or constitutes a Material Adverse Effect. Disclosure of any allegations with respect to any alleged breach, violation or default under any contractual or other obligation, or any law, is not an admission that such breach, violation or default has occurred. Headings, subheadings and defined terms have been inserted in the Disclosure Schedule for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation in the Disclosure Schedule. Where the terms of a contract or other item have been summarized or described in the

Disclosure Schedule, such summary or description does not purport to be a complete statement of the material terms of such contract or other item, and, all such summaries and descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the contract or item being summarized and/or described. The information provided in the Disclosure Schedule is being provided solely for the purpose of making disclosures to Buyer and Merger Sub under this Agreement. In disclosing this information, the Company does not waive, and expressly reserves any rights under, any attorney-client privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed therein.

Section 10.17 Financing Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but in all cases subject to and without in any way limiting the rights and claims of Parent, Buyer and/or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates under and pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreement entered into with respect to the Debt Financing, the Company on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and each of its controlled Affiliates and its Representatives, Stockholders and Optionholders hereby: (a) agrees that any action, suit or proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Financing Parties and each of the respective former, current or future directors, officers, Affiliates, employees, partners or advisors of the foregoing (“Related Parties”), arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Financing or the definitive agreements entered into in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (b) agrees that any such action, suit or proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another state), except as otherwise provided in the Debt Commitment Letter or other applicable definitive document relating to the Debt Financing, (c) agrees not to bring or support or permit any of its affiliates to bring or support any action, suit or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Party or Related Party in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, (d) agrees that service of process upon the Company, its Subsidiaries or its controlled affiliates in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 10.08, (e) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action, suit or proceeding in any such court, (f) knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law trial by jury in any action, suit or proceeding brought against the Financing Parties or Related Parties in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (g) agrees that none of the Financing Parties or Related Parties will have any liability to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates or Representatives, Stockholders or Optionholders relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, (h) agrees that

the Financing Parties and Related Parties are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions in this Agreement reflecting the foregoing agreements in this Section 10.17 and such provisions and (i) agrees that the provisions in this Section 10.17 and the definition of “Financing Parties” shall not be amended in any way adverse to the Financing Parties without the prior written consent of the Financing Parties).
