(e)Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of Merger I and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub I or the Company, or any Seller:

(i)Conversion of Shares.

(A)Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub I issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be automatically converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(B)Subject to Sections 1.1(h), 1.1(i), and 1.5, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Dissenting Shares, will, by virtue of Merger I and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(A)From and after the Effective Time, all of the Shares converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.1(e)(i) shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and uncertificated Shares represented by book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) and each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such Shares shall automatically be converted into and thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the Shares represented by such Book-Entry Share or Certificates have been converted pursuant to Section 1.1(e)(i) (either case being referred to in this Agreement, to the extent applicable, as a “Certificate”).

(B)From and after the Second Effective Time, all of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Stock, shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Second Effective Time, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(iii)Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly exercises and perfects a demand of appraisal of such Shares pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CGCL and shall not have effectively withdrawn or lost such rights to appraisal and payment under the CGCL with respect to such Shares (collectively, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.1(e)(i)(B), but rather the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to payment by Parent of the fair market value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Chapter 13 of the CGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to properly perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Chapter 13 of the CGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair market value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and shall have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.1(e)(i)(B), without interest thereon. The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any demands, whether written or unwritten, received by the Company for appraisal of any Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and actions with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, (A) make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, (B) engage in any communication with the holder of any Dissenting Shares with respect to such Person’s demand for appraisal of Shares, (C) waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or timely take any other action to perfect dissenters’ or appraisal rights in accordance with the CGCL, or (D) agree to do any of the foregoing (A), (B) or (C).

(iv)Adjustment of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or the securities convertible into or exercisable for

shares of Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(f)Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), the identity and the terms of appointment of which to be reasonably acceptable to the Company, for the payment of the Cash Consideration, Stock Consideration and Cash Alternative Amount and shall enter into an agreement relating to the Exchange Agent’s responsibilities with respect thereto, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company.

(g)Exchange of Certificates.

(i)Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Sellers, for exchange in accordance with this Section 1.1, through the Exchange Agent, (i) shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form with restrictive notations customary for shares issued in a transaction not registered under the Securities Act) representing the full number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to pay the Stock Consideration and (ii) all of the cash necessary to pay the Cash Consideration and the aggregate Cash Alternative Amount (such shares of Parent Common Stock and cash provided to the Exchange Agent, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). For the purposes of such deposit, Parent shall assume that there will not be any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock. Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent, for addition to the Exchange Fund, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.1(g)(v). The Exchange Agent shall deliver the Parent Common Stock and cash contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 1.1(e)(i) out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(ii)Letters of Transmittal. The Company shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, deliver to each Seller a letter of transmittal in customary form to each Seller, as prepared by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Parent, which letter of transmittal shall, among other things, (A) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, (B) contain instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or duly executed affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) in exchange for the Merger Consideration, (C) require such Seller (other than the ESOP and the Person identified on Section 1.1(g)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Specified Person”) to complete and deliver to Parent an accredited investor questionnaire in customary form, (D) require such Seller (other than the ESOP and the Specified Person) to consent to the identification by Parent of such Seller as a selling stockholder in the Registration Statement and to provide customary information and representations in connection therewith, (E) require such Seller (other than the ESOP) to waive any rights such Seller may have to demand appraisal of such Shares pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CGCL and require the ESOP to acknowledge that it has voted at the meeting of the shareholders of the Company contemplated by the Seller Notice and not exercised any rights it may have to demand and properly demand appraisal

of such Shares pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CGCL, (F) require such Seller to waive certain claims against (I) the Acquired Companies (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any claims for indemnification in connection with any D&O Indemnified Claims) and (II) the ESOP Trustee (provided that the ESOP shall not be required to waive any claims pursuant to the engagement letter by and between the Company and the ESOP Trustee (or any other related Contract) or the waiver of which would be in conflict with applicable Law (including the ESOP Trustee’s fiduciary duties), (G) require such Seller to authorize and appoint Sellers’ Representative for the purposes set forth in this Agreement, and (H) require such Seller to deliver an IRS Form W-9 (the “Letter of Transmittal”). The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each Seller to deliver a fully completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and any applicable Tax forms that Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof but, in any event, at least seven (7) days prior to the Closing Date (except with respect to the ESOP Trustee). Upon surrender of a Certificate (or duly executed affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Exchange Agent (if applicable), together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled, from and after the Effective Time, to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration into which the aggregate number of Shares previously represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.1(e)(i)(B), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled (if applicable). Subject to Section 1.1(h), in the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made and shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if and only if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay to Parent or any agent designated thereby any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(iii)Dividends; Distributions. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Certificate formerly representing Shares or Book-Entry Shares with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 1.1(g)(v), in each case until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.1. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof), there shall be paid to the holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of such surrender or delivery, as the case may be, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.1(g)(v) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender or delivery, as the case may be, and a payment date subsequent to such surrender or delivery payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(iv)Full Satisfaction. The Merger Consideration issued (and paid) in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.1 upon delivery and conversion of any Shares shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares (other than the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any, in accordance with this Section 1.1(g)). After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any bona fide Certificates formerly representing Shares are properly presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.1.

(v)No Fractional Shares of Parent Common Stock. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Shares pursuant to Section 1.1(e)(i) and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a holder of Parent Common Stock. All fractional shares to which a single record holder would be entitled shall be aggregated, and calculations shall be rounded to three decimal places (1/1,000th). In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Seller who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional shares shall be entitled to an amount in cash, without interest, rounded down to the nearest cent ($0.01), equal to the product of (A) the amount of the fractional share interest in a share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled under Section 1.1(e)(i) (or would be entitled but for this Section 1.1(g)(v)) and (ii) the Parent Stock Price. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to Sellers in lieu of any fractional share interests in Parent Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the Sellers entitled to receive such cash.

(vi)Return of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the Sellers for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, and any Seller who has not theretofore complied with this Section 1.1 shall thereafter look only to Parent as a general creditor (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws) for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 1.1(e)(i)(B).

(vii)No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund (including any amounts delivered to Parent in accordance with Section 1.1(g)(vi)) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Immediately prior to the date on which any Merger Consideration or any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 1.1(e)(i)(B) in respect of a Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Share shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(viii)Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent

may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Parent Common Stock and the cash, unpaid dividends or other distributions that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 1.1 had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

(ix)Exchange Fund Investment. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis; provided, that no monetary losses on such investment thereof shall affect the Merger Consideration payable hereunder and, following any such losses, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Sellers, for exchange in accordance with this Section 1.1, in the amount of such losses to the extent that the amount then in the Exchange Fund is insufficient to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration that remains payable. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(h)Unaccredited Investors. If Parent determines, in its sole discretion, after review of the accredited investor questionnaire provided by any Seller in such Seller’s Letter of Transmittal, that such Seller is not an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or is otherwise unsuitable to receive Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, then Parent shall be entitled to pay the Exchange Agent, for further payment to such Seller, an amount of cash consideration equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such Seller would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.1 multiplied by (B) the Parent Stock Price, and payment of such amount shall be in full satisfaction of such Seller’s right to receive any Per Share Stock Consideration; provided that prior to exercising its rights pursuant to this sentence, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) provide such Seller the reasonable opportunity, but no longer than two (2) days following notice by Parent to such Seller, to demonstrate to Parent’s sole satisfaction such Seller’s status as an accredited investor or suitability to receive Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement and (y) issue the Per Share Stock Consideration in the form of Parent Common Stock to such Seller pursuant to an available exception or exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. To the extent any Parent Common Stock is not issued to a Seller in accordance with this Section 1.1(h), the Exchange Agent shall promptly release to Parent such Parent Common Stock.

(i)Preservation of 368(a) Reorganization. Prior to making any payment (other than a payment of Parent Common Stock or any disbursement of cash in respect of any Contingent Consideration) to any Seller under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any payment pursuant to Section 1.4(d)(i)), Parent and Sellers’ Representative shall mutually determine if any amount of such payment would reasonably be expected to cause Merger I and Merger II, taken together, to fail to meet the “continuity of interest” requirement set forth in Section 1.368-1(e) of the Treasury Regulations (treating the required percentage of the “proprietary interests in the target” that must be preserved as 40%), and, if so determined, then Parent shall, in lieu of making any such payment of such amount in the form of cash, issue to the Exchange Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Sellers, an amount of Parent Common Stock that Parent and Sellers’ Representative agree is necessary to cause the Mergers to satisfy the “continuity of interest” requirement set forth in Section 1.368-1(e) of the Treasury Regulations (treating the required percentage of the “proprietary interests in the target” that must be preserved as 40%). If Parent and Sellers’ Representative

determine that an amount otherwise payable in cash will be made by issuing Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.1(i), Parent and Sellers’ Representative shall mutually determine the number of shares of Parent Stock required to be issued; provided, however, the mix of cash and Parent Common Stock paid to the Sellers (other than the ESOP Trust and the Specified Person) shall be adjusted accordingly to give effect to this Section 1.1(i). An illustration of the intended operation of this Section 1.1(i) is set forth in an example in Exhibit A6.

1.2Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Transaction, including for the releases included in the Letters of Transmittal, shall be an amount equal to the sum of (a) Four Hundred Seventy Million Dollars ($470,000,000), (b) plus the aggregate amount of the Estimated Closing Date Cash, (c) plus the Working Capital Adjustment Amount (which may be a negative number), (d) minus the amount of any Estimated Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and (e) minus the amount of any Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness (such resulting amount pursuant to Sections 1.2(a)-(e), the “Estimated Purchase Price” and, as such amount may be adjusted and finally determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.4, the “Purchase Price”).

1.3Closing Payments. At the Closing, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds (each such payment, a “Closing Payment”), as follows:

(a)to the Adjustment Escrow Agent, the Adjustment Escrow Amount and any fees due to the Adjustment Escrow Agent under the Adjustment Escrow Agreement, to the account created for such purpose under the Adjustment Escrow Agreement;

(b)to the Indemnification Escrow Agent, the Indemnification Escrow Amount and any fees due to the Indemnification Escrow Agent under the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, to the account created for such purpose under the Indemnification Escrow Agreement;

(c)if there is any Indebtedness owed by the Acquired Companies on the PPP Loan as of the Closing, to the PPP Loan Escrow Agent, the PPP Loan Escrow Amount;

(d)if (x) the S-Corp Tax Opinion (in form mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Sellers’ Representative in good faith) has not been delivered to the Company on or prior to the Closing Date and (y) Parent has determined in accordance with Section 6.33 that the amounts set forth in the Section 357(c) Spreadsheet do not establish to Parent’s good faith satisfaction that the tax basis of the assets of the Company’s “qualified subchapter S subsidiaries” exceed such subsidiaries’ liabilities (for purposes of Section 357(c) of the Code) as of the date of this Agreement, then to the Indemnification Escrow Agent, the Special Tax Escrow Amount;

(e)on behalf of the Acquired Companies, to the relevant payees thereof, an aggregate cash amount equal to the amount of all Estimated Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and the Payoff Debt; and

(f)on behalf of the Sellers, to the account of the Sellers’ Representative, a cash amount equal to the Representative Expense Fund.

Each of the Closing Payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amounts and to the bank accounts designated in writing by the Company in the Pre-Closing

Statement (as defined below) delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(a); provided, however, that the Aggregate Transaction Bonus Payments and the LTIP Settlement Amount shall be paid to the Company on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.14 and thereafter the Company shall pay the payees thereof through the next regularly-scheduled Company payroll.

1.4Adjustment of the Purchase Price.

(a)Pre-Closing Statement; Sample Closing Statement. Not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Company’s good faith estimate and underlying calculation of each of (i) (A) the Closing Date Cash (the “Estimated Closing Date Cash”), (B) the Adjusted Working Capital (the “Estimated Adjusted Working Capital”) and the resulting Working Capital Adjustment Amount, (C) the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses”) and (D) the Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”) and (ii) (A) the Estimated Purchase Price and Closing Payments, (B) the Cash Consideration and Per Share Cash Consideration, (C) the Stock Consideration, Per Share Stock Consideration and Cash Alternative Amount, in each case derived therefrom in accordance with Section 1.3. The Pre-Closing Statement, including the calculations of Estimated Closing Date Cash, Estimated Adjusted Working Capital, Estimated Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, shall be consistent with the Accounting Rules and Agreed Adjustment Principles set forth on Exhibit A (the “Sample Closing Statement”).

(b)Closing Statement. No later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared in good faith and delivered to the Sellers’ Representative (i) a statement (the “Closing Statement”), in form substantially similar to the Pre-Closing Statement and consistent with the Sample Closing Statement, setting forth in reasonable detail, with reasonable supporting documentation, Parent’s calculation of (A) the Closing Date Cash, (B) the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, (C) the Closing Date Indebtedness, (D) the Adjusted Working Capital and the resulting Working Capital Adjustment Amount and (E) the Purchase Price derived therefrom, and (ii) a balance sheet of the Company as of 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, in each case prepared in accordance with the Accounting Rules and Agreed Adjustment Principles set forth on Exhibit A, which shall be so certified by the Chief Financial Officer of Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Sellers’ Representative otherwise agrees in writing, Parent may not amend, adjust, supplement or modify the Closing Statement or the amount of Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness or Adjusted Working Capital set forth therein following its delivery to the Sellers’ Representative. If Parent fails to deliver the Closing Statement within such sixty (60) day period, then in addition to any other rights Sellers may have under this Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to elect, on behalf of Sellers, that the Estimated Closing Date Cash, the Estimated Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness and the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital be deemed to be the amount of the Closing Date Cash, the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, the Closing Date Indebtedness and the Adjusted Working Capital, as applicable, and be final and binding and used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4(d). The Parties acknowledge that no adjustments may be made to the Adjusted Working Capital Target.

(c)Disputes.

(i)The Sellers’ Representative shall have forty-five (45) days to review the Closing Statement after receipt of the Closing Statement. If the Sellers’ Representative disagrees with Parent’s calculation of any of the Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness or Adjusted Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Statement, the Sellers’ Representative may, within such forty-five (45) day period, deliver a notice to Parent (a “Dispute Notice”) disagreeing with such calculation and, to the extent the Sellers’ Representative is reasonably able to so specify, setting forth the Sellers’ Representative’s basis and reasonable supporting documentation for such disagreement. If the Sellers’ Representative fails to deliver a Dispute Notice during such forty-five (45) day period, the Sellers’ Representative shall have waived Sellers’ rights to contest the Closing Statement, and the calculations of Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness and Adjusted Working Capital set forth therein shall be deemed to be final and binding upon the Parties and such amount shall be used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4(d).

(ii)If a Dispute Notice shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(i), the Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, attempt to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts to determine, as may be required, the amount(s) of Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness and Adjusted Working Capital, as applicable. Any such agreement shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon the Parties. If during such period, the Sellers’ Representative and Parent are unable to reach such agreement, then all amounts and items remaining in dispute shall be submitted by the Sellers’ Representative and Parent to Withum Smith + Brown, PC (the “Accounting Referee”) for a determination resolving such disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness or Adjusted Working Capital (it being agreed and understood that the Accounting Referee shall act as an arbitrator to determine such disputed items or amounts (and, as a result thereof, Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness and Adjusted Working Capital) in accordance with this Agreement and shall do so based solely on presentations and information provided by Parent and Sellers’ Representative and not by independent review). Promptly after its appointment, the Accounting Referee shall determine the process and procedures governing the resolution of any disputed items by the Accounting Referee (it being agreed and understood that such process shall include, at a minimum, appropriate measures to ensure compliance by the applicable Parties with Section 1.4(e) and the process and procedures for the submission of any written presentations by the Sellers’ Representative and Parent and the time periods thereof). In conducting its review, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts properly included in the Closing Statement and Parent’s calculations of Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness or Adjusted Working Capital as to which the Sellers’ Representative has disagreed and not resolved with Parent. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Referee shall be limited to fixing mathematical errors, determining whether the amounts set forth on the Closing Statement or the Closing Balance Sheet were properly obtained from and in accordance with the books and records of the Acquired Companies and determining whether any items in dispute were determined in accordance with this Agreement (including the definitions of Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness and Adjusted Working Capital, and the Accounting Rules and Agreed

Adjustment Principles set forth on Exhibit A) and the Accounting Referee is not to make any other determination or determination inconsistent with methods of determination set forth herein. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative and Parent, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date the Parties agree on the process and procedures governing the resolution of any disputed items by the Accounting Referee), a report setting forth its calculations of the amount(s) of Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness and Adjusted Working Capital (as applicable), which amount(s) shall, in each case, be within the range of dispute between Parent and the Sellers’ Representative. Such report shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall be used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4(d). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the dispute resolution mechanism contained in this Section 1.4(c) shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving the disputes set forth in this Section 1.4(c)(ii) regarding the Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness and Adjusted Working Capital, if any. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of such Accounting Referee in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(iii)If the Sellers’ Representative and Parent submit disputed amounts and items to the Accounting Referee for resolution, the Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 1.4(c). The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by Sellers, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, in proportion to the relative amount each of the Sellers’ Representative’s and Parent’s determination has been modified such that the Party prevailing on the greatest dollar value of such disputes pays for the lesser proportion of the fees, with any amount to be borne by Sellers to be paid out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds. For example, if Sellers’ Representative challenges the calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital by an amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), but the Accounting Referee determines that Sellers’ Representative has a valid claim for only Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000), Sellers shall bear (out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds) forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee and Parent shall bear the other sixty percent (60%) of such fees and expenses.

(d)Final Adjustment. Following the time that the amounts of the Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness and Adjusted Working Capital are finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4 (such finally determined amounts, respectively, the “Final Closing Date Cash”, the “Final Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses”, the “Final Closing Date Indebtedness” and the “Final Adjusted Working Capital”), the Purchase Price shall (for the purposes of this Section 1.4(d)) be recalculated using the amounts of the Final Closing Date Cash, the Final Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, the Final Closing Date Indebtedness and the Final Adjusted Working Capital in lieu of the Estimated Closing Date Cash, the Estimated Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness and the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital and:

(i)if (x) the result of the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4 is greater than (y) the Estimated Purchase Price (such excess of (x) less (y), the “Surplus”), then Parent shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Date Cash, the Final Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, the Final Closing Date Indebtedness and the Final

Adjusted Working Capital are finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4, pay to Sellers on a pro rata basis (based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account(s) designated in writing by Sellers, an aggregate amount equal to the Surplus, and the Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall jointly instruct the Adjustment Escrow Agent in writing to release any amounts of the Adjustment Escrow Funds to the Sellers on a pro rata basis (based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage); or

(ii)if (x) the result of the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4 is less than (y) the Estimated Purchase Price (such deficit of (x) relative to (y), the “Deficit”), then the Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Date Cash, the Final Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, the Final Closing Date Indebtedness and the Final Adjusted Working Capital are finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4, jointly instruct the Adjustment Escrow Agent in writing to pay to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds, out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, an amount equal to the Deficit. If the Deficit is less than the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall jointly instruct the Adjustment Escrow Agent in writing to release to Sellers on a pro rata basis (based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage) the remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Sellers. Sellers shall have no obligation to Parent to the extent the Deficit exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Amount.

Upon payment of the amounts provided in this Section 1.4(d) in accordance herewith, none of the Parties may make or assert any claim under this Section 1.4.

(e)Cooperation. During the period of time from and after the Closing Date through the final determination of the Final Closing Date Cash, the Final Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, the Final Closing Date Indebtedness and the Final Adjusted Working Capital and payment of the Surplus or Deficit, if and as applicable, in accordance with this Section 1.4, (i) the Sellers’ Representative shall use reasonable efforts to, and shall cause the Sellers’ Representative’s representatives to, and Parent shall and shall cause the Company and each of Parent’s and the Company’s representatives to, reasonably cooperate and assist in any review by the Accounting Referee of the Closing Statement and the calculations of Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness and Adjusted Working Capital in the conduct of the review referred to in this Section 1.4, and (ii) upon the reasonable request of the Sellers’ Representative, Parent shall afford, and shall cause the Company to afford, to the Sellers’ Representative (and any accountants, counsel or financial advisers retained by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with the review of Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness and Adjusted Working Capital) and to the Accounting Referee in connection with any review by the Accounting Referee in accordance with this Section 1.4, reasonable direct access during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to all the properties, books, records, contracts, documents, information, personnel and representatives (including the Company’s accountants) of the Company and such representatives (including the work papers of the Company’s accountants) relevant to such review or preparation of the Closing Statement and to the determination of Closing Date Cash, Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Date Indebtedness and Adjusted Working Capital, and, if reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representative, shall provide any such books, records, contracts, documents and information electronically and in such formats as are reasonably requested. Other than actions expressly

contemplated herein, no actions taken by Parent on its own behalf or on behalf of the Company, on or following the Closing Date shall be given effect for purposes of determining the Closing Date Cash, the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, the Closing Date Indebtedness and the Adjusted Working Capital.

1.5Withholding. Parent or its designee and any Acquired Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement any amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of any Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment; provided, that, other than for any deduction or withholding imposed in connection with payments made in connection with the employment of the payee or as a result of the failure of any Seller to deliver an IRS Form W-9, at least five (5) days prior to withholding each Person shall provide notice of such Person’s intention to withhold and shall reasonably cooperate in reducing or eliminating such withholding (if any reduction or elimination is available). To the extent any amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, the deducted or withheld amounts, as applicable, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

1.6Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, then, upon the reasonable request of the other Party, each of the Company, Parent and their respective directors and officers are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such necessary action, subject to applicable Law.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES

Except as set forth on the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent on the date hereof concurrently with entry into this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) and attached to this Agreement as Schedule A, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows as of the date of this Agreement, except to the extent that a representation, warranty or section of the Company Disclosure Schedule expressly states that such representation or warranty is made only as of an earlier date:

3.1Organization.

(a)The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California. The Company has all requisite power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on the Business as it is now being conducted. The Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of Business or the character or location of any properties or assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b)Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and correct list of each Subsidiary of the Company and its jurisdiction of incorporation, formation or organization, as applicable. Each Subsidiary of the Company is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation.

Each Subsidiary of the Company is qualified or otherwise authorized to act as a foreign corporation or entity and is in good standing under the Laws of every other jurisdiction in which such qualification or authorization is necessary under applicable Law, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

6.2Cooperation; Filings and Approvals.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 6.2(d) and Section 10.1), the Parties shall cooperate with one another and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper or advisable to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable and in any event by or before the Outside Date and to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transaction, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents (including, any required filings under

the HSR Act and the antitrust Laws of any other applicable jurisdiction), (ii) make all filings and obtain all approvals, consents, registrations, waiting period expirations or terminations, Permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or other Person necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transaction, including the Required Consents and (iii) make all filings and obtain all approvals, consents, registrations, authorizations and confirmations with respect to operating Permits (such as liquor licenses) necessary, proper or advisable for the continued operations of the Acquired Companies in the Ordinary Course of Business following the Closing; provided that neither the Company nor Sellers shall be obligated to pay any material fees, costs or consideration to any Person from whom any such approval, consent, registration, Permit, authorization or other confirmation is requested. For the avoidance of doubt, the obtaining of any such approval, consent, registration, Permit, authorization or other confirmation is not a condition to Closing unless expressly set forth in Article VII.

(b)In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i) Parent agrees to make, or have its ultimate parent entity (as that term is defined in the HSR Act) or equity holders make, and the Company agrees to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act if required with respect to the Transaction as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days from the date of this Agreement, unless the Company and Parent agree in writing to a later date) and to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions consistent with this Section 6.2 necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods, if any, under the HSR Act as soon as practicable and in any event by or before the Outside Date (including requesting early termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent shall direct and control all aspects of the parties’ efforts to obtain and determine the strategy with respect to obtaining, any clearances, consents, approvals and waivers under the HSR Act and the applicable antitrust Laws set forth in Section 6.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, if any, in each case required for the consummation of the Transaction.

(c)Each of the Company and Parent, as applicable, shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate with the other Party in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the Transaction and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the Transaction, including any Legal Proceeding initiated by a private party and (ii) keep the other Party informed in all respects and on a current basis of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority and of any communication received or given in connection with any Legal Proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding the Transaction. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information and to the extent practicable, each of the Company and Parent, shall have the right to review in advance, and each will consult the other on, any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transaction (although the Parties will not be obligated to share with each other the documents they include with their notifications under the HSR Act that are responsive to Items 4(c) and 4(d) of the HSR notification.) The Parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 6.2 as “outside counsel

only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the Party providing such materials. In addition, to the extent reasonably practicable, all meetings and telephone calls with a Governmental Authority regarding the Transaction shall include representatives of all Parties. Subject to applicable Law, the Parties will consult and cooperate with each other in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments and proposals made or submitted to any Governmental Authority regarding the Transaction by or on behalf of any Party.

(d)In connection with and without limiting the obligations set forth in this Section 6.2, Parent agrees to take all actions that are necessary or reasonably advisable, or as may be required by any Governmental Authority, to consummate the Transaction as expeditiously as possible and in any event by or before the Outside Date, including to, (i) sell, license or otherwise dispose of, or to hold separate and agree to sell, license or otherwise dispose of, any entities, assets, intellectual property, businesses, equity holdings, or facilities of the Acquired Companies, Parent or Parent’s Affiliates, (ii) terminate, amend or assign existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations of the Acquired Companies, Parent or any of Parent’s Affiliates, (iii) amend, assign or terminate existing licenses or other agreements of the Acquired Companies, Parent or any of Parent’s Affiliates or enter into such new licenses or other agreements, (iv) litigate (or defend) against any administrative or judicial action or Legal Proceeding (including any proceeding seeking a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) challenging the Transaction as violative of any Law or (v) take any action requested by a Governmental Authority as a condition to terminate an applicable waiting period or otherwise permit the Transaction to close without challenge by or before the Outside Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, neither Parent nor its Affiliates will be required to take any of the actions described in subparts (i), (ii), (iii), or (v) above with respect to any entities, assets, intellectual property, businesses, brands, equity holdings or facilities of Parent or its Affiliates necessary for, or utilized in, the conduct of the business of Parent or its Affiliates (x) with an aggregate value in excess of $125,000,000 or (y) any subset thereof, without division or other separation, which would make the operation thereof unreasonably burdensome or impossible (including due to club ties, separation of assets within a brand or collective arrangements in respect thereof). All such efforts shall not be limited by any lesser standard of efforts used in this Agreement. Parent shall respond to and seek to resolve as promptly as reasonably practicable any objections asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transaction.

(e)Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any consents of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Transaction or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority seeking or entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction; (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove

any such Order on appeal or otherwise or (iv) materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transaction.

(f)Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Sellers or the Company to agree to any terms or restrictions as a condition to, or in connection with, obtaining any approvals, consents, waiting period expirations or terminations, registrations, Permits, authorizations or confirmation from any Governmental Authority or other Person unless such terms or restrictions are conditioned upon the Closing.

(g)In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 6.2(a) above, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall each cause to be prepared and filed with the FCC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, the requisite application (the “FCC Application”) and other necessary instruments or documents requesting the FCC’s consent to the transfer of control of the FCC License held by or for the benefit of any Acquired Company and set forth on Section 6.2(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “FCC Consent”) and thereafter prosecute such application with all reasonable diligence to obtain the FCC Consent as soon as practicable, including applications required for FCC consent to the Pre-Closing Restructuring Plan; provided, however, that no Party hereto shall be required to pay consideration to any third party to obtain the FCC Consent (other than the FCC filing fees relating to the Transaction, which shall be paid by the Party required to make such filing). No Party hereto shall take any intentional action that could, or intentionally fail to take such action the failure of which to take could, reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the receipt of the FCC Consent. Each of the Parties hereto shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any Legal Proceeding initiated by a private party, and (ii) keep the other Parties informed in all material respects of any material communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the FCC or any other Governmental Authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any Legal Proceeding by any private party.

6.3Parent Confidentiality. Parent acknowledges that the information provided to Parent and its representatives in connection with this Agreement (including Section 6.1 hereof) and the Transaction is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated September 21, 2020 by and between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

6.4Preservation of Records. Parent agrees to preserve and keep the records held by the Acquired Companies or Parent relating to the Business, with the exception of Tax Returns and Tax records (the period of retention for which is provided for in Section 10.3(e) of this Agreement), for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date and shall make such records and personnel available to the Sellers’ Representative and Sellers as may be reasonably requested in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims by, Legal Proceedings (other than Legal Proceedings between Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, and Parent or the Acquired Companies following the Closing, on the other hand, related to this Agreement or the Transaction) or Tax audits against, or governmental investigations of, the Acquired Companies or in order to enable Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement.

6.5Publicity. Neither the Company nor Sellers (or their respective Affiliates) on the one hand, nor Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Transaction or make any other public disclosure containing or pertaining to the terms of this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, to any employees or customers of the Acquired Companies, Associations or Affiliates of any Seller or any Acquired Company, without obtaining the Company’s (prior to the Closing), Sellers’ Representative’s (after the Closing) or Parent’s, as applicable, prior written approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless, in the judgment of the Party seeking to disclose, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which such disclosing Party lists securities; provided that, to the extent any disclosure is required by applicable Law or stock exchange rule, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall use its reasonable best efforts consistent with applicable Law or stock exchange rule to consult with the Company (prior to the Closing), Sellers’ Representative (after the Closing) or Parent, as applicable, with respect to the text and subject matter thereof, including the identity of any of the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, disclosures resulting from the Parties’ efforts to obtain approval or early termination under the HSR Act and to make any related filing under applicable Law shall be deemed not to violate this Agreement.

6.6Employee Benefit Matters.

(a)All employees of the Acquired Companies, as of 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, are known as “Business Employees.”

(b)From and after the Closing Date through December 31, 2021, Parent shall or shall cause one of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) to provide to each Business Employee who continues to be employed by Parent or one of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) (“Continuing Employees”) during such period (i) with base salary or wage rates and target bonus and commission (excluding any temporary reduction in salary, wage rate, target bonus or commission occurring as a result of COVID-19) that are not less favorable in the aggregate than the lesser of (W) the base salary or wage rates and target bonus and commission provided to such Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and (X) the base salary or wage rates and target bonus and commission provided to similarly situated employees of the Acquired Companies, and (ii) with employee benefits (other than the ESOP, severance benefits, equity-based and transaction-based compensation and benefits) that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than either (Y) those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing or (Z) those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent; provided, in each case, that an employee’s location and position shall be taken into account in determining if another employee is similarly situated for purposes of this Section 6.6(b). Parent agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, grant each Business Employee credit for any service with the Acquired Companies (including service with any predecessor employer if so credited under an applicable Benefit Plan) earned prior to the Closing Date (A) for eligibility and vesting purposes and (B) for purposes of paid time off accrual and determination of level of severance pay under any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, or arrangement established or maintained by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) in which the Business Employees participate on or after the Closing Date (the

“New Plans”), except to the extent such recognition of service would result in a duplication of benefits or violate the terms of the New Plans.

(c)Without limiting Section 6.6(b), following the Closing, Parent shall credit each Continuing Employee with all of the paid time off, vacation, holiday, annual leave and sick leave days each such Continuing Employee is entitled to prior to the Closing for use following the Closing in accordance with the applicable paid time off, vacation, holiday, annual leave and sick leave policies of the Acquired Companies as in effect immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, that, Parent agrees that any such credit for paid time off, vacation, holiday, annual leave and sick leave days, will survive through December 31, 2023, and immediately after such period, shall be forfeited without compensation to the extent unused.

(d)Following the Closing, Parent will provide for a cash bonus plan for each eligible Continuing Employee based on target potential at the time of Closing. For 2021, the annual cash bonus plan will be separated into two (2) six (6) month performance periods (January through June and July through December), as is the case for all other similarly situated Parent companies. The first half 2021 performance metric to determine the amount of bonus will be based upon the Company’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the period January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. The targeted adjusted EBITDA will be normalized to account for the benefit of the Transaction following Closing. Payment will be made to Continuing Employees who remain employed by an Acquired Company as of June 30, 2021 and be paid as soon as practical after such date via the Company’s regularly scheduled payroll system. The second half 2021 performance metrics will be communicated at such time as all other similarly situated employees, based upon the target potential at the time of Closing.

(e)From and after the Closing, Parent shall cause the Acquired Companies to comply with, and shall be responsible for any failure to comply after the Closing Date with, and bear any and all liability arising after the Closing Date or resulting from, in whole or in part, actions taken on or after the Closing Date under, the requirements of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and any analogous U.S. state Law or other comparable requirements in other jurisdictions.

(f)Prior to the Closing, the Acquired Companies shall forgive all amounts payable by the employees of the Acquired Companies to an Acquired Company pursuant to any loan, advance, extension of credit or other similar arrangement extended by, or made between, any Acquired Company and such employee of any Acquired Company as set forth on set forth on Section 6.6(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and shall deduct or withhold, as applicable, any amounts required to be deducted or withheld for any Taxes imposed thereon.

The Company, upon receipt of such information from the ESOP Trustee, shall upon Parent’s reasonable request provide Parent with information regarding the status of the ESOP participants’ proxy instructions that have been received by the ESOP Trustee. All materials submitted to the ESOP participants in accordance with this Section 6.26(d) shall be subject to Parent’s reasonable advance review and comment.

6.27Title Matters. In the event any Title Document dated after the date of this Agreement is made available to Parent by the Acquired Companies after the date of this Agreement and before the Closing discloses any Liens securing Indebtedness and mechanic’s and similar Liens that are not Permitted Liens (“Intervening Liens”), and which were granted by, consented to or caused by the act or omission of any Acquired Company or Managed Association, the Company shall cause (a) such Liens to be released prior to Closing or (b) a nationally-recognized title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Parent to issue an owner’s policy of title insurance for the applicable Owned Real Property or Managed Association Owned Real Property either without exception for such Lien or affirmatively insuring against the enforcement of such Lien. In the event any Title Document dated after the date of this Agreement that is made available to Parent by the Acquired Companies after the date of this Agreement and before the Closing discloses any other Intervening Liens, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (a) such Liens to be released prior to Closing or (b) a nationally-recognized title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Parent to issue an owner’s policy of title insurance for the applicable Owned Real Property or

Managed Association Owned Real Property either without exception for such Lien or affirmatively insuring against the enforcement of such Lien.

6.28Restrictive Covenant Agreements. The Company shall (a) obtain and deliver to Parent at the Closing a duly executed restrictive covenant agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (each, a “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”), from each Supporting Seller, Welk Properties Holdings, LLC, Welk Group, Inc. and any other Person or Persons, if any, holding any Excluded Assets or any Retained Marks (or any successor thereto) and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent at the Closing a duly executed Restrictive Covenant Agreement from each other Seller (other than the ESOP).

Within twenty (20) days following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver to Parent the parachute payment calculations prepared by the Company or its advisors. Additionally, at least three (3) Business Days prior to obtaining the Section 280G waivers, and prior to seeking such shareholder approval, the Company shall provide drafts of such waivers and such shareholder approval materials to Parent for its review and the Company shall consider Parent’s comments thereon in good faith. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that a vote of the Company’s shareholders who are entitled to vote was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.29 and that either (1) the requisite number of shareholder votes was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits, or (2) that the requisite number of such shareholder votes was not obtained, and, as a consequence, the Waived 280G Benefits shall not be made or provided.

6.30ESOP Fairness Opinion. No later than fifteen (15) days following the date hereof, the Company shall cause the ESOP Trustee to provide to Parent a provisional draft of the opinion from Strategic Equity Group, the ESOP Trustee’s independent financial advisor, that shall be delivered to the ESOP Trustee and issued and effective as of the Closing, which concludes that: (i) the consideration that the ESOP Trust shall receive for the Shares in the Merger pursuant to this Agreement is not less than fair market value as that term is defined under Section 3(18)(B) of ERISA, and (ii) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, taken as a whole, are fair to the ESOP Trust from a financial point of view.

6.31Releases of Claims.

(a)Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause the Persons set forth on Section 6.31(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule to enter into a General Releases of Claims and Ratification of Transfer in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L (each a “Release of Claims”).

Sellers’ Representative shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Person set forth on Section 6.31(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule to enter into a Release of Claims as promptly as practicable after the date on which such Person is eighteen years of age.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Baker Tilly US, LLP to provide to Parent, no later than twenty-five (25) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, a spreadsheet (substantially in the form of spreadsheets provided to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement) establishing that the tax basis of the assets of the Company’s “qualified subchapter S subsidiaries” exceed such subsidiaries’ liabilities (for purposes of Section 357(c) of the Code) as of the date of this Agreement (the “Section 357(c) Spreadsheet”).

6.33Parent Determination. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to review and determine in good faith whether the amounts set forth in the Section 357(c) Spreadsheet establish that the tax basis of the assets of the Company’s “qualified subchapter S subsidiaries” exceed such subsidiaries’ liabilities (for purposes of Section 357(c) of the Code) as of the date of this Agreement. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Section 357(c) Spreadsheet, Parent shall provide the Company with written notice of Parent’s determination of whether or not the amounts set forth in the Section 357(c) Spreadsheet establish that the tax basis of the assets of the Company’s “qualified subchapter S subsidiaries” exceed such subsidiaries’ liabilities (for purposes of Section 357(c) of the Code) as of the date of this Agreement. If Parent provides written notice of Parent’s determination that the amounts set forth in the Section 357(c) Spreadsheet do not establish to Parent’s good faith satisfaction that the tax basis of the assets of the Company’s “qualified subchapter S subsidiaries” exceed such subsidiaries’ liabilities (for purposes of Section 357(c) of the Code) as of the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall, for a period of ten (10) Business Days, cooperate in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding the amounts or calculations in the Section 357(c) Spreadsheet and, within two (2) Business Days of the end of such ten (10) Business Day period, Parent shall either confirm in a written notice its determination that the amounts set forth in the Section 357(c) Spreadsheet do not establish that the tax basis of the assets of the Company’s “qualified subchapter S subsidiaries” exceed such subsidiaries’ liabilities (for purposes of Section 357(c) of the Code) as of the date of this Agreement or provide a written notice to the Company or Parent’s determination that the amounts set forth in the Section 357(c) Spreadsheet establish that the

tax basis of the assets of the Company’s “qualified subchapter S subsidiaries” exceed such subsidiaries’ liabilities (for purposes of Section 357(c) of the Code) as of the date of this Agreement.

6.34Opinion. Parent and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to agree upon a mutually acceptable form of opinion in good faith described in Section 2.2(l) and the representations and tax certificates described in Section 10.4(c) within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement.

(a)by mutual written consent of the Company and Parent;

(b)at the election of the Company or Parent on or after the date that is six (6) months after the date hereof (the “Outside Date”), if the Closing shall not have occurred by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on such date; provided, that to the extent there is a complete or partial United States government shutdown prior to the Outside Date, the Outside Date shall be automatically extended by the number of days of such shutdown; provided further (i) if the Closing shall not have occurred because the condition set forth in Section 7.1(c) has not been fulfilled and (ii) all of the other conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that can by their terms only be satisfied in connection with the Closing, provided that such conditions are not incapable of being performed at the Closing), then the Outside Date shall be the date that is nine (9) months after the date hereof; provided further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to a Party if such Party is in material breach of any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement or to any Party whose breach of this Agreement has been the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to have occurred by the Outside Date;

(c)by the Company or Parent if there shall be in effect a final, non-appealable Order of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to a Party if such Order was primarily due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement;

(d)by Parent, if the Company shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a), Section 7.2(b) or Section 7.2(c), which breach either (i) is not cured within forty-five (45) days following the Company’s receipt of written notice of such breach, (ii) by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date or (iii) by its nature, is incapable of being cured; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to Parent if Parent (x) is in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement or (y) fails to exercise such termination right within ten (10) days following the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period described in clause (i) above;

(e)by the Company, if Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a), Section 7.3(b) or Section 7.3(c) which breach either (i) is not cured within forty-five (45) days following Parent’s receipt of written notice of such breach, (ii) by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date or (iii) by its nature, is incapable of being cured; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) shall not be available to the Company if (x) the Company is in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement or (y) the Company fails to exercise such termination right within ten (10) days following the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period described in clause (i) above; or

In the event of the termination and abandonment of this Agreement by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party, and this Agreement shall terminate, and the consummation of the Transaction shall be abandoned, without further action by Sellers, the Company, Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II.

8.3Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate and such termination shall be without liability to the Parties, except that (a) the obligations of the Parties under the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 6.3 (Parent Confidentiality), Section 6.5 (Publicity), this Section 8.3 and Article X shall survive such termination and not be affected thereby and (b) no such termination shall relieve any Party hereto from liability for any willful breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement, it being understood that Parent’s, Merger Sub I’s, or Merger Sub II’s failure to consummate the Closing and deliver the Closing Payments pursuant to Section 1.3, on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, shall be deemed to be a willful breach of a covenant or agreement.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

9.1Indemnification.

(a)Without limiting the other provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, each Parent Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless solely out of the Indemnification Escrow Amount or Special Tax Escrow Amount, as applicable, from, any Damages suffered or incurred by such Parent Indemnitee to the extent arising out or as a result of or in connection with:

(i)Any claims of rights to or claims for indemnification, the advancement or payment of expenses or other similar rights by any Parent Indemnitee provided to, or for the benefit of, the ESOP Trustee (whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent), including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the ESOP or any Contract (in existence as of the date of this Agreement) between the ESOP and any Acquired Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the engagement letter by and between the Company and the ESOP Trustee), (individually and collectively, “ESOP-Related Claims”);

(ii)Any Legal Proceeding instituted, commenced, filed or threatened (whether verbally or in writing) by or on behalf of any participant in the ESOP involving (A) any claim, entitlement or other right (whether based on a theory at law or in equity) with respect to or otherwise involving any dissenters’, appraisal or other similar rights arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) an alleged breach in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of any fiduciary duty or other duty imposed at law or in equity on the ESOP Trustee, the Acquired Companies or any officer, manager or director of the Acquired Companies (individually and collectively, “Transaction-Related Claims”);

(iii)Any Taxes of Welk Resorts Vacation Rentals, Inc. as a result of its failure (at any time prior to the Closing) to qualify as a qualified subchapter S subsidiary for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and similar state and local income Tax purposes), including any Taxes resulting from an acceleration of any installment gain (“Tax-Related Claims”);

(iv)Any Taxes of the Acquired Companies as a result of the Pre-Closing Restructuring (“Pre-Closing Restructuring Claims”);

(v)Any of the items set forth on Section 9.1(a)(v) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (individually and collectively, “Scheduled Indemnification Claims”); and

(vi)Any Taxes of the Acquired Companies with respect to a Pre-Closing Period that are attributable to the Company ceasing to qualify as an “S corporation” (within the meaning of Section 1361 of the Code) as a result of the execution of this Agreement (“Special Tax Claims”); provided, however, that if the Special Tax Escrow Amount payment pursuant to Section 1.3(d) was not required to be, and was not made at Closing, the Parent Indemnitees’ right to indemnification solely pursuant to this Section 9.1(a)(vi) shall terminate as of Closing and all of the provisions in this Agreement with respect to the payment of the Special Tax Escrow Amount, the

execution and delivery of the Special Tax Escrow Agreement and indemnification for the Special Tax Claims under this Section 9.1(a)(vi) shall be deemed terminated in their entirety as of Closing with no further force or effect.

(b)The Parent Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article IX from the first dollar of any Damages without a threshold or deductible of any kind. The Parent Indemnitees shall not be required to (i) first pursue any insurance proceeds or any other indemnity, contribution or other means of recovery; provided, however, that despite the absence of any requirement, any Parent Indemnitee shall nevertheless use its commercially reasonable efforts to submit a timely claim to the applicable insurance carrier; or (ii) pursue any appeal or other challenge to any Order of a Governmental Authority exercising competent jurisdiction, in each case before making a claim for indemnification or receiving payment under the provisions of this Article IX. For the purposes of this Article IX, “finally determined” (and variations thereof of equivalent meaning) shall mean: (i) agreed upon, settled or compromised by Parent in its sole discretion or (ii) set forth in an Order of a Governmental Authority exercising competent jurisdiction (whether or not any such Order is subject to appeal or other challenge).

(c)Except to the extent prohibited by Law, upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any indemnifiable Damages hereunder, the Parent Indemnitee shall take and cause its Affiliates to take, or cooperate with the Sellers’ Representative if so requested by Sellers’ Representative in order to take, all commercially reasonable measures to mitigate the indemnifiable Damages based upon, arising out of or incurred as a result of such event. The reasonable costs and expenses of mitigation hereunder shall constitute indemnifiable Damages under this Agreement. In the event any Damages incurred by a Parent Indemnitee are, to the knowledge of Parent, reasonably covered by insurance of the Acquired Companies (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the RWI Policy), Parent shall and shall cause any Parent Indemnitee to agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to submit a timely claim to the applicable insurance carrier; provided, however, that no Parent Indemnitee shall be required to commence or engage in litigation or initiate any other Legal Proceeding against any insurance carrier.

(d)For the avoidance of doubt, no Parent Indemnitee shall have any right to indemnification under this Article IX for any duplicative Damages to the extent that a Parent Indemnitee previously obtained indemnification under this Article IX for such Damages, and in no event shall any Party hereto be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for Damages that have already been paid to such Party or otherwise taken into account under this Agreement, including with respect to any matter that is included in the calculation of the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.4 (including the calculation of Final Adjusted Working Capital, Final Closing Date Cash, Final Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, and Final Closing Date Indebtedness).

(e)Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX, in any case where any Parent Indemnitee recovers from third parties any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which it has been indemnified and previously paid pursuant to this Article IX, such Parent Indemnitee shall promptly deposit with the Indemnification Escrow Agent (for inclusion in the Indemnification Escrow Funds) or to the extent the Indemnification Escrow Funds have been released in accordance with Section 9.3(c), shall promptly pay to the Sellers’ Representative for the benefit of and further

payment by Sellers’ Representative to Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage, the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery) but in no event shall the amount required to be deposited with the Indemnification Escrow Agent or paid to the Sellers’ Representative for the benefit of and further payment by Sellers’ Representative to the Sellers under this Section 9.1(e) with respect to such matter exceed the amount previously paid from the Indemnification Escrow Fund to or on behalf of such Parent Indemnitee in in respect of such matter. The amount of Damages to which a Parent Indemnitee has a right to indemnification under this Article IX in connection with an ESOP-Related Claim shall be reduced by amounts actually received by the ESOP Trustee under the ESOP Trustee Insurance Policy that reduce the Damages suffered or incurred by such Parent Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with such ESOP-Related Claim.

(f)Sellers Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall be entitled to subrogate to any rights any of the Acquired Companies may have against any third party (other than any Governmental Authority or current director, officer or employee of the Acquired Companies) in respect of any Damages for which Sellers indemnify the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to this Article IX.

9.2Survival. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the covenants of the Parties contained in this Article IX which are required to be observed, kept or performed following the Closing Date shall survive the Closing until fully observed, kept or performed. The rights of each Parent Indemnitee under this Article IX, after the Closing shall not be affected by any knowledge at or before the execution hereof or at or before the Closing of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, whether such knowledge came from Sellers, an Acquired Company, Parent or any other Person, or any waiver of condition set forth in Article VII. The rights of any party to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX shall survive through the first anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to any Claim other than a Special Tax Claim, and the third anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to any Special Tax Claim (each, a “Termination Date”); provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the Parent Indemnitee shall have made a claim by delivering written notice of such claim (or, as applicable, notice of facts reasonably likely to result in a claim) to the Sellers’ Representative before the day immediately following the applicable Termination Date; provided, further, that if the Special Tax Escrow Amount payment pursuant to Section 1.3(d) was not required to be and was not made at Closing, the Parent Indemnitees’ right to indemnification solely pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(vi) shall terminate as of Closing and all of the provisions in this Agreement with respect to the payment of the Special Tax Escrow Amount, the execution and delivery of the Special Tax Escrow Agreement and indemnification for the Special Tax Claims under this Section 9.1(a)(vi) shall be deemed terminated in their entirety as of Closing with no further force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Parent shall not be precluded from

seeking remedy (a) for Fraud or (b) to enforce, against the applicable party thereto, any covenant or agreement that by its terms contemplates performance in whole or in part after the Closing Date.

9.3Procedures.

(a)Notice of Pre-Closing Claims. In the event of any ESOP-Related Claim, Transaction-Related Claim, Tax-Related Claim, Pre-Closing Restructuring Claim, Scheduled Indemnification Claim or Special Tax Claim (each, individually, a “Claim” and collectively, the “Claims”) arising prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide written notice thereof to Parent no later than two (2) Business Days following the Company’s discovery or receipt, as applicable, of the institution, commencement, filing or threat (whether verbally or in writing) thereof; provided, however, that such discovery or receipt shall be deemed to constitute a duly provided Claim Notice (as defined below).

(b)Claims.

(i)In the event of any Claim, arising after the Closing, the applicable Parent Indemnitee shall provide written notice with respect thereto to Sellers’ Representative, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such Claim (to the extent known by the Parent Indemnitee), the type of Claim hereunder and the amount or estimated amount (to the extent reasonably estimable) of Damages arising out of such Claim (a “Claim Notice”), reasonably promptly after receipt by such Parent Indemnitee of written notice of such Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such Claim Notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that Sellers shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The amount of Damages suffered or incurred by a Parent Indemnitee with respect to any shall be paid to such Parent Indemnitee upon the final determination of such Claim.

(ii)Participation in Claims. If a Claim is made against an Acquired Company, prior to the Closing, or a Parent Indemnitee, following the Closing, the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) shall be entitled to participate at its sole cost and expense in the defense thereof and (unless the Sellers’ Representative is also a party to such Claim and Parent Indemnitee determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate), if Sellers’ Representative so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Sellers’ Representative, which counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to Parent. If Sellers’ Representative assumes the defense of a Claim in accordance with this Section 9.3(b)(ii), it shall be conclusively established for purposes hereof that such Claim is within the scope of and subject to indemnification hereunder. Any such participation or assumption shall not constitute a waiver by any party of any attorney-client privilege in connection with such Claim. If the Sellers’ Representative assumes the defense of a Claim in accordance with this Section 9.3(b)(ii), the applicable Parent Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Sellers’ Representative, it being understood that Sellers’ Representative shall control such defense; provided, however, that Damages for which the Parent Indemnitee may recover shall include fees and expenses of separate counsel, including in connection with defending such claim or in the event the Parent Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there is a conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel (and the Parent Indemnitee may recover such fees and expenses of separate counsel as incurred pursuant to Section 9.3(c) in connection with defending such claim or in

the event the Parent Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there is a conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel (“Separate Counsel Expenses”)). If the Sellers’ Representative chooses to defend or prosecute a Claim arising following the Closing, the relevant Parent Indemnitees shall cooperate in good faith in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Seller’s Representative’s request) the provision to Sellers’ Representative of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Claim (subject to Section 10.17), and making employees available (at the sole cost and expense of Sellers’ Representative) at such times and places as may be reasonably necessary to defend against such Claim for the purpose of providing additional information, explanation or testimony in connection with such Claim. If, following the Closing, a Claim Notice is duly delivered to Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers’ Representative does not, within twenty (20) days after such notice is given, give notice to Parent of its election to assume the defense of such Claim, the Sellers’ Representative will be bound by any determination made in such Claim or any settlement, compromise or discharge effected by the applicable Parent Indemnitee. If the Sellers’ Representative assumes the defense of a Claim, the Sellers’ Representative shall defend such Claim to final conclusion or settlement of such Claim; provided, however, that, following the Closing, Sellers’ Representative shall not settle such Claim without the consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such settlement completely, finally and unconditionally releases the Parent Indemnitees in connection with such Claim and both (i) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and would not have any adverse effect on the defense of any other claims that may be made against any Parent Indemnitee and (ii) does not involve any relief other than monetary damages that are paid in full out of the Indemnification Escrow Funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Claim (and shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the applicable Parent Indemnitee in the course of defending such Claim) if, in any case (i) the Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief or relief other than monetary damages for which any Parent Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) the Claim is a criminal or administrative Legal Proceeding, or relates to such a criminal or administrative Legal Proceeding, or the underlying facts or circumstances of which could reasonably be expected to give rise to such a criminal or administrative Legal Proceeding, (iii) the Claim (arising following the Closing) involves a counterparty that is a customer, vendor or other material partner of the Acquired Companies or that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse impact on any Parent Indemnitee’s relationship with one or more of such customers, vendors or other material partners, (iv) the Claim is a Special Tax Claim or (v) has a reasonable risk of resulting in Damages (when aggregated with other realized or potential Damages which relate to indemnification claims made pursuant to this Agreement) that would exceed the remaining amount of the Indemnification Escrow Funds. With respect to any Claim as to which Sellers’ Representative is not entitled to assume the defense, the applicable Parent Indemnitees shall keep the Sellers’ Representative reasonably informed regarding such Claim, and such Parent Indemnitees shall not settle such Claim without the consent of Sellers’ Representative to any portion of such settlement that would be paid from the Indemnification Escrow (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(iii)Shared Privileged Materials. Each Party hereto mutually acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that (i) each shares a common legal interest in preparing for the defense of any actual or threatened Claims or any related claim or counterclaim, (ii) the

sharing of memoranda and other materials drafted by, or otherwise reflecting, the legal advice of internal or outside counsel (“Subject Materials”) will further such common legal interest, (iii) by disclosing any Subject Materials to, or sharing any Subject Materials with, the Sellers’ Representative, no Parent Indemnitee shall waive the Parent Party Privilege or any other privilege, immunity or protection, and (iv) by disclosing any Subject Materials to, or sharing any Subject Materials with, any Parent Indemnitee, the Sellers’ Representative shall not waive the Seller Party Privilege or any other privilege, immunity or protection. Without limiting Section 10.17, neither the Parent Indemnitees nor the Sellers’ Representative shall be required to make available to the other any information that is subject to an attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege that based on the advice of outside counsel would be impaired by such disclosure or any confidentiality restriction under applicable Law.

(c)Escrow Amounts; Distribution.

(i)From and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive source of recovery of Damages described in this Article IX by a Parent Indemnitee (except to the extent related to Fraud) shall be the right to be paid out of the Indemnification Escrow Funds (with respect to any Claim other than a Special Tax Claim) or, as applicable, the Special Tax Escrow Funds (with respect to any Special Tax Claim).

(ii)Upon the final determination of any Claim other than a Special Tax Claim (or the incurrence of any Separate Counsel Expenses in connection with a Claim other than a Special Tax Claim) in favor of Parent, Parent and Sellers’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Indemnification Escrow Agent, in the form required thereunder, instructing the Indemnification Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnification Escrow Funds to Parent (or, at Parent’s direction, the applicable Parent Indemnitee), an amount equal to the Damages, if any, for which the applicable Parent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, in respect of such Claim or Separate Counsel Expenses, as applicable.

(iii)Following the applicable Termination Date, Parent and Sellers’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Indemnification Escrow Agent, in the form required thereunder, instructing the Indemnification Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnification Escrow Funds or Special Tax Escrow Funds, as applicable, to Sellers on a pro rata basis (based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage) an amount equal to (a) the remaining Indemnification Escrow Funds or Special Tax Escrow Funds, as applicable, minus (b) the amount of all claims for Damages asserted in good faith by any Parent Indemnitee in respect of any outstanding or unpaid indemnification claims pursuant to this Article IX with respect to (x) any Claim other than a Special Tax Claim, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) any Special Tax Claim, on or prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing for each Seller by Sellers’ Representative at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such release. Any amounts paid to Sellers under this Section 9.3(c) shall be distributed, subject to Section 1.5, to each Seller entitled to any Contingent Consideration under Section 1.1(e)(i)(B) on a pro rata basis (based on each Sellers’ Pro Rata Percentage). Upon the final determination of the Outstanding Claims and the payment of the applicable Parent Indemnitees thereunder, if applicable, Parent and Sellers’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Indemnification Escrow Agent, in the form required thereunder, instructing the Indemnification Escrow Agent to release all of the Indemnification

Escrow Funds or Special Tax Escrow Funds, as applicable, to Sellers on a pro rata basis (based on each Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage). For the avoidance of doubt, the term of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement and Special Tax Escrow Agreements, as applicable, shall continue until such time as all Indemnification Escrow Funds or Special Tax Escrow Funds, as applicable, have been distributed in accordance with this Section 9.3(c).

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties in this Agreement or in any certificates delivered by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing, such that no claim for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought after the Closing with respect thereto, other than for Fraud, against (x) the Company, Sellers, or their respective present or former Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, employees, partners, equityholders, members, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors or permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) or (y) Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, or Parent or their respective present or former Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, employees, partners, equityholders, members, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors or permitted assigns (collectively, the “Parent Parties”), as the case may be, and, absent Fraud, there will be no liability in respect thereof, whether such liability has accrued prior to or after the Closing, on the part of the Seller Parties or on the part of the Parent Parties, as the case may be; provided that this Section 10.1(a) shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the Closing until such time that such covenant or agreement is fully performed or no longer operative, including for the avoidance of doubt, the covenants and agreements set forth in Article IX; and provided, further, that Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II will be liable for breach of any covenant or agreement requiring performance by the Company after the Closing, and nothing herein will limit or affect Parent’s, Merger Sub I’s or Merger Sub II’s liability for the failure to consummate the Closing or deliver the Closing Payments or the Surplus (if any) in full or pay in full any other amounts payable by them as and when required by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.1(a) shall not (A) interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Section 1.4 providing for the resolution of certain disputes relating to the Purchase Price between the Parties or by an Accounting Referee, (B) limit the rights of the Parties to seek specific performance in accordance with Section 10.1(a), or (C) limit the rights of the Parent Indemnitees with respect to indemnification under Article IX.

(b)Parent, for itself and on behalf of the other Parent Parties (including Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies), acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, other than for Fraud, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any of the Seller Parties relating to the operation of the Acquired Companies or their business or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any Exhibit or Schedule hereto, or any ancillary agreement, certificate or other document entered into, made, delivered, or made available in connection herewith, or as a result of

any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether arising under, or based upon, any federal, state, local or non-U.S. statute, Law (including common law), ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law) are hereby irrevocably waived. Furthermore, without limiting the generality of this Section 10.1(b), no claim (other than for Fraud) will be brought or maintained by, or on behalf of, Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II (including, after the Closing, the Company) against the Seller Parties, and no recourse will be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of, or based upon, any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Sellers or the Company set forth or contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit or Schedule hereto, or any ancillary agreement, certificate or other document entered into, made, delivered, or made available in connection herewith, as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the business, the ownership, operation, management, use or control of the business of the Acquired Companies, any of their respective assets, or any actions or omissions at, or prior to, the Closing. Parent, for itself and on behalf of the other Parent Parties (including Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and, after the Closing, the Company), acknowledges and agrees that, absent Fraud, the Parent Parties may not avoid such limitation on liability by (i) seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived or (ii) asserting or threatening any claim against any Person that is not a party hereto (or a successor to a party hereto) for breaches of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

10.2Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated hereby or thereby and the Transaction, whether or not the Transaction is consummated. Sellers’ Representative and Parent shall be equally (50% / 50%) responsible for all governmental fees and governmental charges applicable to any requests for Governmental Approvals or to the consummation of the Transaction, including any such fees and charges incurred (including any filing fees) in connection with satisfying the requirements of the HSR Act and antitrust Laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, and any other Laws. Parent shall be solely responsible for the premium (together with any applicable Taxes thereon) in respect of the RWI Policy, the brokerage fee payable to the broker who arranges the RWI Policy and any other premiums, costs, expenses, fees or Taxes payable in connection with the RWI Policy, and any deductibles or co-payments required to be made pursuant to the RWI Policy. Sellers shall be solely responsible for the premium for the D&O Tail Policy pursuant to Section 6.7(b).

10.3Taxes.

(a)At the sole cost and expense of Sellers’ Representative, Sellers’ Representative shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any Pass-Through Tax Returns of the Company for any taxable period ending on or including the Closing Date. With respect to any such Pass-Through Tax Returns for which the due date (taking into account extensions) is after the Closing Date, the Seller’s Representative shall deliver such Pass-Through Tax Returns to the Parent reasonably in advance of the filing date of such income Pass-Through Tax Return for its review and comment and the Sellers’ Representative shall consider in good faith

reasonable comments to such Pass-Through Tax Returns. Except for Pass-Through Tax Returns, Parent shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for any Tax period that ends on or before the Closing Date and the due date (taking into account extensions of time to file) of which is after the Closing Date (“Other Pre-Closing Tax Returns”) if such Tax Returns have not been filed prior to the Closing. Any such Other Pre-Closing Tax Return that is an income Tax Return shall be delivered to the Sellers’ Representative reasonably in advance of the filing date of such income Tax Return for its review and comment, Parent shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments to such income Tax Returns and Parent shall not file any such income Other Pre-Closing Tax Return without the approval of Sellers’ Representative. To the extent relating to any Pre-Closing Period and not taken into account in Indebtedness, Sellers’ Representative shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes imposed on any Acquired Company shown as due and owing on such Other Pre-Closing Tax Returns at least five (5) days prior to the due date (taking into account extensions of time to file) of such Tax Returns. With respect to all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies, all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be treated as properly allocable to the Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (including any Pass-Through Tax Return or any Other Pre-Closing Tax Return).

(i)Parent shall promptly notify Sellers’ Representative of a deficiency, audit, examination claim, litigation or other administrative or court proceeding, suit or dispute with respect to Taxes (a “Tax Proceeding”) relating to a Pre-Closing Period with respect to the Acquired Companies. Such notice shall contain, with respect to each Tax Proceeding, such facts and information as are then reasonably available, including any written correspondence from or to the relevant Taxing Authority. With respect to any such Tax Proceeding relating solely to a Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Seller Tax Proceeding”), Sellers’ Representative may choose in its sole discretion (at its expense) to control any such Seller Tax Proceeding, subject to Parent’s right to participate (at its expense and by employing counsel of its choosing) in such Seller Tax Proceeding. Sellers’ Representative shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status of any such Seller Tax Proceeding (including providing Parent with copies of all written correspondence regarding such Seller Tax Proceeding and shall consider in good faith any comments provided by Parent with respect thereto). Sellers’ Representative shall not compromise or settle any such Seller Tax Proceeding without first obtaining the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(ii)With respect to any Tax Proceeding relating solely to Pass-Through Tax Returns, Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to exclusively control any such proceeding and make all decisions in connection therewith. Except as provided in this Section 10.3(a), Parent shall control all proceedings with respect to Taxes of the Acquired Companies including any Tax Proceeding described in this Section 10.3(a) for which Sellers’ Representative chooses not to control.

(iii)Parent, the Acquired Companies and each of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, shall cooperate with respect to any Tax Proceeding, which cooperation shall include the retention and, upon request, the provision to the requesting party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Proceeding, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings

relating to such Tax Proceeding. Parent and the Sellers shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 10.3(a).

(b)If, for three (3) years after the Closing Date, Parent, the Company or any of their Affiliates receives a refund of any Tax of the Company or a credit against any Tax of the Company attributable to a Pre-Closing Period (whether received in cash, or as a credit against other Taxes), Parent shall pay to Sellers’ Representative within thirty (30) days after such receipt an amount equal to such refund or credit (net of any Taxes and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Parent or any of its Affiliates, including, after the closing, the Acquired Companies), together with any interest received or credited thereon; provided that no amount shall be paid with respect to any such refund or credit if the amount of such refund or credit (i) was taken into account in computing Working Capital, (ii) is attributable to Tax attributes generated by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, after the closing, the Acquired Companies) on or after the Closing Date or (iii) are payable to a third party pursuant to any contractual arrangement entered into by any Acquired Company prior to Closing. If there is a subsequent reduction by a Taxing Authority (or by virtue of a change in applicable Tax Law), of any Tax refunds with respect to which a payment has been made by Parent pursuant to this Section 10.3(b), then the Sellers’ Representative shall pay to Parent or its designee an amount equal to such reduction plus any interest or penalties imposed by a Taxing Authority with respect to such reduction within ten (10) days of receipt a written request for the same from Parent.

(c)Parent and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall not without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) take any of the following actions with respect to an Acquired Company for any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date: (i) file or amend or otherwise modify any Tax Return (ii) enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement or (iii) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency related to any Tax or Tax Return. Upon the request of Sellers’ Representative, Parent shall file (or shall cause to be filed) amended Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies described in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 9.1(a)(iii), Section 9.1(a)(iv) and Section 9.1(a)(vi), Sellers shall not have any liability for Taxes shown on any Tax Return which treats the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a “C corporation” for U.S. federal income Tax purposes for any Pre-Closing Period, and neither Sellers’ Representative or Parent shall file or cause to be filed any Tax Return treating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as such without the other party’s consent (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(d)All transfer, sales, use, value added, excise, stamp, recording, documentary, registration and any and other similar Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) that are imposed on any of the Parties hereto by any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transaction shall be borne by Parent, except with respect to any such Taxes imposed on any of the Parties in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring, which shall be borne by Sellers. Parent will duly and timely prepare any Tax Returns with respect to such Taxes, and Sellers will reasonably cooperate with Parent in the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns.

(e)Parent and Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to Taxes of the Acquired Companies, including access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Parent or Sellers, as applicable, and the making of any election relating to Taxes. Each of Parent and Sellers shall retain all books and records in their possession with respect to Taxes of the Acquired Companies for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.3(e) or in this Agreement, none of Parent or any or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall be obligated to provide to Sellers or Sellers’ Representative any Tax Returns that relate to any taxable period that begins on or after the Closing Date (other than non-income Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for any Straddle Period or any Tax Returns (or Tax Return work papers), or portions thereof, solely of or relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which are reasonably required by Sellers in connection with preparing any Tax Return or conducting any Tax Proceeding).

(f)Effective as of the Closing, all Tax sharing, Tax indemnity, or Tax allocation agreement, to which any Acquired Company is a party shall be terminated by the Acquired Companies such that no Acquired Company shall have any liability thereunder or as a result of such termination; provided, that any commercial agreement entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business the primary purpose of which is not the sharing or allocation of Taxes shall be excluded from this Section 10.3(f).

(g)For purposes of this Agreement, the portion of Tax with respect to the income, property or operations of the Acquired Companies that is attributable to any Straddle Period will be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Period in accordance with this Section 10.3(g). The portion of any such Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Period will (i) in the case of any Taxes other than sales or use Taxes, value-added Taxes, employment Taxes, withholding Taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts, payroll, transactions or profits earned during a Straddle Period, 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 Pre-Closing Period portion of the Straddle Period and denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any sales or use Taxes, value-added Taxes, employment Taxes, withholding Taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts, payroll, transactions or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable based upon an interim closing of the books as if the Straddle Period ended on and included the Closing Date; provided that any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (such as deductions for depreciation or real estate Taxes) shall be apportioned on a daily basis.

(h)Within ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, Company shall file, or cause to be filed, a complete private letter ruling request with the IRS to request relief under Treasury Regulation Section 301.9100-3 to file an IRS Form 8869 (Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary Election) for Welk Resorts Vacations Rentals, Inc. with effect as of the date of formation of Welk Resorts Vacation Rentals, Inc. Each of Company (between the date of this Agreement and Closing) and Sellers’ Representative (after Closing) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to work in good faith to expeditiously obtain the requested relief from the IRS

including providing, as reasonably requested, timely and complete responses to any requests of the IRS for additional information in support of the request.

10.4Tax Treatment.

(a)The Parties intend that Merger I and Merger II, taken together, be treated, and each of them shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Merger I and Merger II, taken together, to be treated, for federal income tax purposes as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code by virtue of Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code (to which each of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and the Company are to be parties under Section 368(b) of the Code) in which the Company is to be treated as merging directly with and into Merger Sub II, with each Share converted in Merger I into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and each shall file all Tax Returns consistent with, and take no position inconsistent with, such treatment unless there is a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code that Merger I and Merger II, taken together, do not qualify as a reorganization described in Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code by virtue of Section 368(a)(2)(D) and related provisions of the Code.

(b)No Party shall take any action, cause any action to be taken, fail to take any action or fail to cause any action to be taken (including any action or failure to act otherwise permitted by this Agreement) that would prevent Merger I and Merger II, taken together, from constituting a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code by virtue of Section 368(a)(2)(D) and related provisions of the Code.

(c)In connection with any opinion of Hogan Lovells US LLP requested by the Company in connection with the Closing that (i) Merger I and Merger II, taken together, will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1)(A) by virtue of Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code, (ii) Sections 361(b) and (c) of the Code will apply, and thus no gain or loss will be recognized by the Company, upon the Company’s exchange of its assets for cash and Parent Stock and the Company’s distribution of such cash and Parent Stock to the Sellers pursuant to the Mergers (provided, however, that such opinion will not address whether, notwithstanding the application of Sections 361(b) and (c), gain or loss will be recognized by the Company with respect to the Mergers pursuant to any other provision of the Code or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, including Code Sections 367, 481 and 453B) and (iii) the execution of this Agreement should not cause the Company to cease to qualify as an “S corporation” within the meaning of Section 1361 of the Code (the opinion described in the forgoing clause (iii), the “S-Corp Tax Opinion”), the Parties shall provide customary representations and tax certificates to counsel for Parent and counsel for the Company in form reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company. For purposes of the S-Corp Tax Opinion, Hogan Lovells US LLP would assume that, without regard to execution of this Agreement, the Company satisfies all of the requirements of Section 1361 of the Code and therefore otherwise qualifies as an “S corporation” within the meaning of Sections 1361 and 1362 of the Code, and Hogan Lovells US LLP would rely upon mutually agreed upon reasonable assumptions and reasonable representations provided by the Company.

(d)If there is a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code that Merger I and Merger II, taken together, do not qualify as a Tax-free “reorganization” described in Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code by virtue of Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II shall take the position for federal income Tax purposes

that Merger I was a qualified stock purchase within the meaning of Section 338 of the Code and Merger II qualified as a reorganization as described in Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code.

(e)The Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

10.5Governing Law. This Agreement and any action arising out of or relating to the Transaction shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive and procedural Laws (excluding conflict of laws rules and principles to the extent that to do so would result in the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction) of the State of Delaware, including all matters of construction, validity and performance.

10.6Jurisdiction; Court Proceedings; Waiver of Jury Trial. Any controversies, claims, actions, suits, or proceedings (“Litigation”) against any Party arising out of or in any way relating to the Transaction or this Agreement shall be brought, heard and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and state appellate courts thereof sitting in New Castle County, Delaware (or, if such courts decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware), and each of the Parties hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such Litigation; provided, that a final judgment in any such Litigation shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to assert (a) any objection which it may ever have to the laying of venue of any such Litigation in the Delaware Court of Chancery and state appellate courts thereof sitting in New Castle County, Delaware (or, if such courts decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware), (b) any claim that any such Litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (c) any claim that such court does not have jurisdiction with respect to such Litigation. To the extent that such service of process is permitted by Law, each Party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such Litigation in such courts by utilizing the notice provisions set forth in clauses (a), (c), or (d) of Section 10.11. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right to a trial by jury and agrees that any of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained-for agreement among the Parties irrevocably to waive its right to trial by jury in any Litigation.

10.7Further Assurances. After the Closing, each Party shall from time to time, at the request of and without further cost or expense to the other unless expressly provided otherwise herein, execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and assumption and take such other actions as may reasonably be requested in order to more effectively consummate the Transaction.

10.8Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) and the other Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior Contracts or agreements, whether oral or written.

10.9Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented or modified except by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by (a) Parent and (b) the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers) after the Closing or, if prior to the Closing, the Company and the Sellers’ Representative; provided, that the

observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Party that shall lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver.

10.10Waivers. No waiver or consent, express or implied, by any Party to or of any breach or default by any Party in the performance by such Party of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such Party of the same or any other obligations of such Party hereunder. No single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any right or power, shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Failure on the part of a Party to complain of any act of any Party or to declare any Party in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its rights hereunder until the applicable statute of limitation period has run (including all extensions thereof). In the event any provision of any other Transaction Agreement shall in any way conflict with the provisions of this Agreement (except where a provision therein expressly provides that it is intended to take precedence over this Agreement) this Agreement shall control.

10.11Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (a) as of the date delivered, if delivered personally, (b) on the date the delivering Party receives confirmation of receipt, if delivered by email of a portable document format (“PDF”) document, (c) three (3) Business Days after being mailed by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) or (d) one (1) Business Day after being sent by nationally recognized overnight courier (providing proof of delivery), to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10.11).

10.13Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in addition to any

other remedies, each Party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance or other injunctive or equitable relief without the necessity of proving the adequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Without limitation of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, Sellers and the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance if Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II fails to complete the Closing if and when required to complete the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1, and to cause the Transaction to be consummated, including to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 2.1, on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement.

The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

10.15Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any assignment in violation of this Section 10.15 shall be null and void; provided, however, that Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II may freely assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to (x) an Affiliate or (y) from and after the Closing, its or their respective lenders; provided further that any such assignment by Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II pursuant to the foregoing proviso shall not relieve Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II of its obligations hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but provided that Parent shall make available its and the Acquired Companies’ employees to give depositions or testimony and shall furnish all documentary or other evidence that Sellers may reasonably request in connection with the conduct of such Legal Proceedings. Sellers shall reimburse Parent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 10.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the fees, costs and expenses associated with making the employees of Parent or the Acquired Companies available to give depositions or testimony).

10.18Authorization of Sellers’ Representative.

(a)By virtue of the Seller Approval or the delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by any Seller, and without any further action by any such Seller, the Sellers’ Representative is hereby appointed, authorized and empowered to act as a representative, for the benefit of Sellers, as the exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact, in connection with and to facilitate the consummation of the Transaction under this Agreement which shall include the power and authority: (i) to execute and deliver such amendments, waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and any other Transaction Agreement (including the Adjustment Escrow Agreement and the Indemnification Escrow Agreement) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as the Sellers’ Representative, in his sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable; (ii) to administer and resolve any disputes or compromise such disputes with Parent, on Sellers’ behalf (including in connection with claims related to Taxes, or claims related to the Closing Date Cash, the Adjusted Working Capital, the Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and the Closing Date Indebtedness),

If, however, the Sellers’ Representative incurs expenses, in its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative, in an amount exceeding the Representative Expense Fund, then the Sellers shall, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentage, reimburse the Sellers’ Representative for the difference between the total expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative and the Representative Expense Fund.

In the event of any indemnification hereunder, upon written notice from the Sellers’ Representative to Sellers as to the existence of a deficiency toward the payment of any such indemnification amount, each Seller shall promptly deliver to the Sellers’ Representative full payment of his, her or its ratable share of the amount of such deficiency (based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage).

(d)All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date or any termination of this Agreement. Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement and any other Transaction Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon Sellers. The

grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survives the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any of Sellers and (ii) shall survive the Closing.
