Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the process and adjustment set forth in this Section 2.5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to items required hereunder to be included or reflected in the calculation of the Actual Closing Amount and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) Buyer’s right to receive a disbursement from the Adjustment Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.5(f)(i) shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event that the Actual Closing Amount is less than the Estimated Closing Amount and (B) Seller’s rights to receive a payment from Buyer pursuant to Section 2.5(f)(ii) and a disbursement from the Adjustment Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.5(g) shall be Seller’s exclusive remedies in the event that the Estimated Closing Amount is less than the Actual Closing Amount.
2.6Tax Withholding. Buyer or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any portion of any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law. Buyer shall provide Seller with written notice of any deduction or withholding it believes is applicable to amounts payable by Buyer or any of its Affiliates hereunder (except with respect to withholding of employment and payroll taxes, or withholding arising from a failure to provide the deliverable in Section 2.4(a)(v)) at least five (5) days prior to the date of the applicable payment, and shall reasonably cooperate with Seller to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding (including by providing the applicable payee a reasonable opportunity to provide any applicable certificates, forms or other documentation that would eliminate or reduce the requirement to deduct or withhold under applicable Law). To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, such withheld amounts (a) shall be timely remitted by Buyer or its Affiliates to the applicable Governmental Entity and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller payee of the payment giving rise to such deduction or withholding.

7.6Tax Matters.
(a)Allocation of Straddle Period Tax Liability. For all purposes under this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, the portion of Taxes (or any Tax refund and amount credited against any Tax) that are allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will be: (i) in the case of property Taxes and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis without regard to income, payroll, gross receipts or sales, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes (or Tax refund or amount credited against Tax) for such entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the end of the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the entire number of calendar days in such entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, determined as though the Tax period of the Acquired Companies terminated at the end of the Closing Date.
(b)Tax Refunds. Any refunds of Taxes of any Acquired Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period that are received (or, in the case of any Straddle Period, that would have been received if the Straddle Period ended on the end of the Closing Date) by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies) after the Closing Date, and any amounts credited against any Tax in lieu thereof to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies) become entitled, in each case, except to the extent taken into account to reduce the Income Tax Liability Accrual or as a Current Liability in Net Working Capital, each as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5, or attributable to the carryback of any attribute generated in a Post-Closing Tax Period, shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller, as additional consideration for the Shares, the amount of such Tax refund or the amount of any such Tax credit, reduced by any reasonable third-party costs or expenses (including Income Tax) incurred by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies) in connection with the receipt or application thereof, within twenty (20) days after receipt or application thereof. Buyer shall claim any overpayment of Taxes on the Acquired Companies’ Income Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods to the maximum extent permitted by Law and at Seller’s reasonable written request until thirty (30) days following the last due date (taking into account any applicable extensions) of any such Tax Return, Buyer shall timely and properly prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, any claim for refund, amended Tax Return, or other Tax Return required to obtain any available Tax Refunds from any Pre-Closing Tax Period. In the event that any such refund or credit is later disallowed by a Governmental Authority, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the amount paid to Seller with respect to such refund or credit pursuant to this Section 7.6(b) within twenty (20) days after written notice to Seller of such disallowance.
(c)Transaction Tax Deductions. Without duplication of any amount payable to Seller pursuant to Section 7.6(b),Seller shall be entitled, as additional consideration for the Shares, to the amount equal to the reduction in the cash Income Taxes payable by the Buyer and any of its Affiliates (including following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) in the Taxable period ending or before December 31, 2022 resulting from the Transaction Tax Deductions (including for the avoidance of doubt, as the result of, any net operating losses resulting from the Transaction Tax Deductions) that are available to offset income of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) for any Post-Closing Tax Period as and when such Transaction Tax Deductions are first used to offset income. The amount of any such reduction in cash Income Taxes payable for such Post-Closing Taxable Period shall equal the excess, if any, of (i) the Tax liability of the Buyer and its Affiliates for such Post-Closing Tax Period computed without taking into account the Transaction Tax Deductions and (ii) the Tax liability of the Buyer and its Affiliates for such Post-Closing Tax Period computed by taking into
-46-
LEGAL_US_E # 161486834.17



account the Transaction Tax Deductions. Promptly upon (and no later than ten (10) days after) the filing of any such Tax Return on which any Transaction Tax Deductions are taken into account to offset income of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, Buyer shall pay over to Seller, as additional purchase price for the Shares, an amount equal to the reduction in the Tax liability of the Buyer and any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) reflected on such Tax Return attributable to such Transaction Tax Deductions.
(d)Agreed Income Tax Treatment. Buyer shall be a “C-corporation”, or an entity treated as disregarded from a “C corporation”, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Buyer shall cause the Company and each other Acquired Company eligible to do so to (i) join Buyer’s “consolidated group” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-1(h)) effective as of the beginning of the date following the Closing Date, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last date of a Tax period of such Acquired Company and (iii) reflect all Transaction Tax Deductions in the Pre-Closing Tax Periods of the Acquired Companies (the “Agreed Tax Treatment”). Each Party shall file all Tax Returns consistently with the Agreed Tax Treatment and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith, except as otherwise required by a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code).
(e)Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall pay 100% of all Transfer Taxes arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate to prepare and timely file any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.
(f)Post-Closing Actions. Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies) without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to, (i)  except for Tax Returns filed pursuant to Section 7.6(b), file, re-file, supplement, or amend any Tax Return of any Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that was originally due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any applicable extensions), (ii) voluntarily approach any taxing authority regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of any Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that were originally due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any applicable extensions), (iii) make an election under Section 338 of the Code (or any comparable applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax law) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) make any Tax election with respect to any Acquired Company that is retroactively effective on or before the Closing Date, (v) except for net operating losses from Pre-Closing Tax Periods, carryback any net operating losses of any Acquired Company to a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, or (vi) take any action on the Closing Date (other than as contemplated by this Agreement) that would create a Tax liability of Seller on the Closing Date, in each case, to the extent such action could reasonably be expected to result in a reduction in the Purchase Price or could reasonably be expected to be adverse to Seller or any of its direct or indirect owners. For purposes of computing (x) Indebtedness, (y) the amount of any Tax refund or credit pursuant to Section 7.6(b), or (z) the amount of any payment pursuant to Section 7.6(c), any item of income or gain recognized on the Closing Date resulting from any transaction that is outside the ordinary course of business that is effected by the Buyer on the Closing Date following the Closing shall be ignored.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated.
9.5Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided that (a) Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to any Subsidiary of Buyer, but no such assignment will relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder and (b) in any event in which written consent to an assignment is granted hereunder, no such assignment will relieve the assignor of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
9.6Governing Law. This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, any Schedules hereto and the other documents, instruments and agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate hereto or thereto, or the negotiation, execution or performance of hereof or thereof (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Laws rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
9.7Exclusive Jurisdiction; Service of Process; MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Any Suit arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby shall be brought exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery in New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Suit, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or to the extent neither of such courts has subject matter jurisdiction over such Suit, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, and in each case, the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Specified Courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, for the purpose of any such Suit. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Suit arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in the Specified Courts, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any such Suit brought in any Specified Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The choice of venue set forth in this Section 9.7 is intended by the Parties to be mandatory and not permissive in nature, thereby precluding the possibility of litigation between the Parties with respect to or arising out of this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any jurisdiction other than those specified in this Section 9.7. A final judgment in any such Suit may be enforced in other jurisdictions by Suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any such Suit. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY

DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH SUIT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER SUIT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.
9.8Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and any Party may execute any such counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party. The Parties agree that the delivery of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and any other agreements and documents executed and delivered concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or executed and delivered at the Closing, may be effected by means of an exchange of facsimile signatures or other electronic delivery.
9.9No Third Party Beneficiaries. Other than Sections 5.4, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.5 and this Article IX (other than Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4) and the definitions of the terms used in any of the foregoing, which are intended to benefit and may also be enforced directly by the Covered Parties, the Releasees, the Seller Related Parties, the Buyer Related Parties, Paul Hastings and the Nonparty Affiliates, as applicable, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder.
9.10Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and any Schedules hereto and the other documents, instruments and agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto set forth the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All Schedules, including any Seller Disclosure Schedule, referred to herein are intended to be and hereby are specifically made a part of this Agreement and incorporated by reference herein. Any and all previous agreements and understandings between or among the Parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and any Schedules hereto, whether written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Schedules hereto, except for the Confidentiality Agreement which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
9.11Seller Disclosure Schedules. Except as otherwise provided in the Seller Disclosure Schedules, all capitalized terms used therein shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement. Matters reflected in the Seller Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be disclosed. No disclosure made in the Seller Disclosure Schedules shall constitute an admission or determination that any fact or matter so disclosed is material, meets a dollar or other threshold set forth in this Agreement or would otherwise be required to be disclosed, and no Person shall use the fact of the setting of a threshold or the inclusion of such facts or matters in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, amount, fact or matter is or is not material, is or is not in excess of a dollar or other threshold or would otherwise be required to be disclosed, for purposes of this Agreement. Information disclosed in any Seller Disclosure Schedule will be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated into any other Seller Disclosure Schedule to the extent that the information is disclosed with such specificity that its applicability to such other Seller Disclosure Schedule is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure without review of any additional materials. No disclosure in the Seller Disclosure Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any
-54-
LEGAL_US_E # 161486834.17



agreement or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. Summaries or descriptions of Contracts or other documents contained in the Seller Disclosure Schedules are qualified in their entirety by such Contracts or other documents themselves. The matters reflected in the Seller Disclosure Schedules are solely intended to qualify the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and nothing contained in the Seller Disclosure Schedules shall in any event expand the scope of any representation or warranty, contained in this Agreement or constitute or be deemed to constitute a representation or warranty.
9.12Captions. All captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not form a part of this Agreement and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
9.13Remedies.
(a)The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur (for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy) in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by any Party, as applicable, in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by any Party, as applicable, including if the Parties fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the obligation to consummate the Closing). It is accordingly agreed that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by any Party, as applicable, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof against each Party, as applicable, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties are entitled at law or in equity and (ii) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and agree not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law; provided, that nothing shall preclude any Party from objecting as to the substantive basis on which such equitable remedies are being sought. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and/or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

9.14Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith that relates to, or arises out of, COVID-19 or any Pandemic Measure. Consent by email pursuant to Section 9.2 will satisfy any requirement of consent in writing pursuant to this Agreement.
9.16Legal Representation.
(a)Each Party acknowledges that (i) each of the Sponsor Partners, Seller and the Acquired Companies have retained Paul Hastings LLP (“Paul Hastings”) to act as its counsel in connection with the Transaction Matters as well as other past and ongoing matters, (ii) Paul Hastings has not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the Transaction Matters, and (iii) no Person other than the Sponsor Partners, Seller and the Acquired Companies has the status of a Paul Hastings client for conflict of interest or any other purpose as a result thereof. Buyer (i) waives and will not assert, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) to waive and not assert, any conflict of interest relating to Paul Hastings’s representation after the Closing of the Sponsor Partners, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates in any matter, whether involving the Transaction Matters (including any litigation, arbitration, mediation, dispute resolution procedure or other proceeding) or otherwise, and (ii) consents to, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) to consent to, any such representation, even though in each case (x) the interests of the Sponsor Partners, Seller and/or their respective Affiliates may be directly adverse to Buyer or the Acquired Companies, (y) Paul Hastings may have represented any Acquired Company in a substantially related matter, and/or (z) Paul Hastings may be handling other ongoing matters for Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies.
(b)Buyer agrees that, after the Closing, neither Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) will have any right to access or control any of Paul Hastings’ records relating to or affecting any Transaction Matter, which will be the property of (and be controlled by) the Sponsor Partners and Seller. In addition, Buyer agrees that it would be impractical to remove all Attorney-Client Communications from the records (including e-mails and other electronic files) of the Acquired Companies. Accordingly, Buyer will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) not to, use any Attorney-Client Communication remaining in the records of any Acquired Company after Closing in a manner that may be adverse to the Sponsor Partners, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates.
(c)Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies), that from and after Closing (i) the attorney-client privilege, all other evidentiary privileges, and the expectation of client confidence as to all Attorney-Client Communications are hereby assigned to and shall belong to the Sponsor Partners and Seller and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) and (ii) the Sponsor Partners and Seller, together, will have the exclusive right to control, assert, or waive the attorney-client privilege, any other evidentiary privilege, and the expectation of client confidence with respect to such Attorney-Client Communications. Accordingly, Buyer will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) not to, (x) assert any attorney-client privilege, other evidentiary privilege, or expectation of client confidence with respect to any Attorney-Client Communication, except in the event of a post-Closing dispute with a Person that is not the Sponsor Partners, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates; or (y) take any action which could cause any Attorney-Client Communication to cease being a confidential communication or to otherwise lose protection under the attorney-client privilege or any other evidentiary privilege, including waiving such protection in any dispute with a Person that is not the Sponsor Partners, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on
-57-
LEGAL_US_E # 161486834.17



behalf of each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies), that in the event of a dispute between the Sponsor Partners, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates on the one hand and Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies on the other hand arising out of or relating to any matter in which Paul Hastings jointly represented both parties, neither the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence, nor any right to any other evidentiary privilege will protect from disclosure to the Sponsor Partners, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates any information or documents developed or shared during the course of Paul Hastings’s joint representation.
9.17No Recourse Against Nonparty Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and except in the case of Fraud, (a) all claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, granted by statute or otherwise) of any Buyer Related Party that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and are those solely of) Seller; (b) other than Seller, no Person, including any Nonparty Affiliate, shall have any liability or obligation (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, granted by statute or otherwise) to any Buyer Related Party for any Suits, claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach or the transactions contemplated hereby; (c) to the maximum extent permitted by law, Buyer, on behalf of itself and all other Buyer Related Parties, hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, Suits, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates; and (d) without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Buyer, on behalf of itself and all other Buyer Related Parties, (i) hereby waives and releases any and all rights, Suits, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, in contract, in tort, granted by statute or otherwise, to avoid or disregard the entity form of Seller or otherwise impose liability of Seller on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise, and (ii) disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to enter into, this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.17 absolves or relieves any Person, including any Nonparty Affiliate, from any obligations or liabilities under any Contract to which such Person is a party, whether or not such Contract relates to this Agreement.
