The Sample Closing Statement has been and the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Statement shall be prepared (i) in accordance with the accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies set forth in Section 2.5 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with clause (i), the accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies as interpreted and applied in preparing the Business Financial Statements dated December 31, 2020 (which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto)), and (iii) to the extent not addressed in clause (i) or (ii), GAAP as in effect as of December 31, 2020 (the principles, practices, methodologies and policies set forth in clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, the “Transaction Accounting Principles”).

The Closing Statement shall be in substantially the same format as the Sample Closing Statement and be prepared in good faith by the Seller, consistent with the definitions in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles. Seller shall consider in good faith and reasonably cooperate with Purchaser regarding any comments provided by Purchaser no later than two (2) Business Days, or such later time as is approved by Seller, prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Closing Statement, and if Seller accepts any such comments, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an updated version of the Closing Statement, which updated version shall replace the prior version for all purposes hereunder. The Estimated Adjustment Amount, the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, the Estimated Closing Company Transaction Expenses and the Estimated Closing Funded Debt shall be used to calculate the Closing Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing. Purchaser agrees that, following the Closing through the date that the Post-Closing Statement becomes final and binding in accordance with this Section 2.5, it will not take any actions with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which the Sample Closing Statement or the Closing Statement is based, or on which the Post-Closing Statement is to be based, that are inconsistent with the ordinary course past practice of the Business (or of Seller or any of its

Affiliates with respect to the Business) with respect to its application of the Transaction Accounting Principles or that would impede or delay the final determination of the Post-Closing Statement.

(c)As promptly as reasonably possible and in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and will provide to Seller, a written statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”), setting forth the Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash Amounts, the Closing Company Transaction Expenses and the Closing Funded Debt. The Post-Closing Statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the Purchaser’s good faith calculations of such amounts in substantially the same format as the Sample Closing Statement, and in a manner consistent with the definitions in this Agreement and the Transaction Accounting Principles and not reflect any accounting principles, policies, methods, and practices, other than the Transaction Accounting Principles.

(d)Within forty-five (45) days following receipt by Seller of the Post-Closing Statement (such period, the “Review Period”), Seller shall deliver written notice to Purchaser of any dispute Seller has with respect to the calculation, preparation or content of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Dispute Notice”); provided, that if Seller does not deliver any Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such Review Period, the Post-Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. The Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail (i) any item on the Post-Closing Statement that Seller disputes and (ii) Seller’s calculation of the correct amount of such item; provided, that Seller may not dispute the accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies used in preparing the Post-Closing Statement unless they are inconsistent with the Transaction Accounting Principles. Any items not disputed or objected to in the Dispute Notice timely delivered by Seller to Purchaser shall be deemed to have been accepted by the parties hereto. The Post-Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the parties hereto and shall become final and binding upon the parties hereto as of the expiration of the Review Period with respect to any matters set forth therein not then subject to an unresolved dispute set forth in the Dispute Notice. Upon receipt by Purchaser of a Dispute Notice, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute set forth therein. All such discussions and communications related thereto shall (unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule, and any resolution by them agreed to in writing as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive. If Purchaser and Seller fail to resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (the “Dispute Resolution Period”), then, within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period, a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) shall be engaged to resolve any such dispute; provided, that, if such accounting firm is unwilling or unable to perform the services required under this Section 2.5(d), then each of Seller and Purchaser shall select a nationally recognized major accounting firm, and the two (2) firms will mutually select a third internationally recognized independent public accounting firm to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm. The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to promptly sign an engagement letter, in commercially reasonable form, as may reasonably be required by the Independent Accounting Firm. As promptly as practicable, and in any event not more than fifteen (15) days following the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, Purchaser and Seller shall each prepare and submit a written presentation detailing each party’s complete statement of proposed resolution of each issue still in dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm (it being understood that the content of each such presentation shall be limited to whether the Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash Amounts, the Closing Company Transaction Expenses and the Closing Funded Debt were properly calculated in accordance with the definitions in this Agreement and the Transaction Accounting Principles, the proposed resolution of each disputed issue by such party and reasonable supporting detail for the foregoing). Purchaser and Seller shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to, as soon as practicable after the submission of the presentations described in the immediately preceding sentence and in any event not more than twenty (20) days following such presentations, acting as an expert in accounting and not as an arbitrator, make a final determination, binding on the parties to this Agreement, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items that remain in dispute

as indicated in the Dispute Notice. None of the Seller, the Purchaser, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Independent Accounting Firm regarding the subject matter hereof without the other party’s prior written consent. The Independent Accounting Firm shall agree that between the time the Seller delivered the Dispute Notice and the date on which any disputed item was submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm, the Purchaser and the Seller and their respective Representatives may have exchanged certain proposals relating to the disputed items that were intended solely for purposes of facilitating settlement discussions, and such proposals were confidential and were provided solely on the condition and understanding that such proposals would not be permitted to be disclosed in any court or arbitration hearing or in respect of the Independent Accounting Firm’s engagement in the dispute, and the Independent Accounting Firm will be instructed to disregard any evidence of such settlement proposals and negotiations in its consideration of the disputed items. With respect to each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Seller or Purchaser, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Seller or Purchaser in the Dispute Notice and the Post-Closing Statement, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to whether any disputed determinations of the Adjustment Amount, the Closing Cash Amounts, the Closing Company Transaction Expenses and the Closing Funded Debt were properly calculated in accordance with the definitions in this Agreement and the Transaction Accounting Principles. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated to be paid by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm. For example, if Seller claims in a Dispute Notice that the Adjustment Amount is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Purchaser in the Closing Statement, and if the Independent Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Seller $600 of the $1,000 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 600 ÷ 1,000) to Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 400 ÷ 1,000) to Seller. All determinations made by the Independent Accounting Firm, and the Post-Closing Statement, as modified by the Independent Accounting Firm, will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. The parties hereto agree that any adjustment as determined pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by Law.

(e)For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.5, each of Seller and, following the Closing, Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with and promptly make available to each other and their respective Representatives any personnel, information, records, data and final drafts of working papers (subject to customary confidentiality agreements and access letters, as applicable), in each case to the extent related to the Company or the Transaction and to the extent reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Closing Statement and Post-Closing Statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Closing Statement and Post-Closing Statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder; provided, that Seller or Purchaser may withhold any document (or portions thereof) or information that may constitute privileged attorney-client communications or attorney work product, the transfer of which, or the provision of access to which, on the advice of legal counsel, would reasonably be expected to risk a waiver of such privilege or if the provision of access to such document (or portion thereof) or information, on the advice of legal counsel, would reasonably be expected to conflict with applicable Law (it being agreed, that, in the event any of the restrictions in the foregoing apply, the disclosing party shall provide the other party with a reasonably detailed description and summary of the information not provided but that would otherwise be required to be provided under this Section 2.5(e) and cooperate in good faith with such other party to design and implement alternative disclosure arrangements to enable such other party and its Representatives to reasonably evaluate any such information without resulting in such violation or jeopardizing such attorney-client privilege or contravening such Laws).

(f)The “Final Purchase Price” shall mean the Base Purchase Price, plus (i) the Closing Cash Amounts plus the Excess Cash (subject to Section 2.5(h)), if any, plus (ii) the Adjustment Amount (which may be a positive or negative number), minus (iii) the Closing Funded Debt, minus (iv) the Closing Company Transaction Expenses, in each case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), as finally determined pursuant to Sections 2.5(c) and 2.5(d).

(g)If the Closing Purchase Price shall exceed the Final Purchase Price, then Seller shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to such excess to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Purchaser to Seller; or if the Final Purchase Price shall exceed the Closing Purchase Price, then Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to such excess to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller to Purchaser, in each case, taking into account any amount of Excess Cash reflected in the Final Purchase Price that was remitted to Seller prior to the date of such payment pursuant to Section 5.23. Any such payment is to be made within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the Adjustment Amount, Closing Cash Amounts, Closing Company Transaction Expenses and Closing Funded Debt are finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5. The parties hereto agree that any payment pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by Law.

(h)To the extent that there is Excess Cash in any Group Company, that Excess Cash, net of any Taxes or other fees and expenses that would be payable with respect to any repatriation to the United States of such amounts of Excess Cash, shall be added to the Final Purchase Price as described in Section 2.5(f).

. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or under any applicable Laws; provided, however, that other than in connection with the failure to comply with Section 2.4(b)(vi), Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give Seller written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing of its intent to deduct or withhold and shall cooperate with Seller in good faith to mitigate any such withholding. Amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Except as set forth in, or qualified by any matter set forth in, the Seller Disclosure Schedules (it being agreed, subject to Section 10.12, that the disclosure of any matter in any section in the Seller Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to have been disclosed in any other section in the Seller Disclosure Schedules to which the applicability of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face), Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:

Each of Seller and the Company is duly qualified to do business and in good

(c)Section 3.1(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules contains a complete and accurate list of the name and jurisdiction of organization of each Subsidiary of the Company (each a “Company Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Company Subsidiaries”) as of the date of this Agreement and sets forth (i) the authorized and issued capital stock or other Equity Securities of each Company Subsidiary as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) the number and type of shares of capital stock or other Equity Securities of such Company Subsidiary that, as of the date of this Agreement, are owned, directly or indirectly by the Company. Each share of capital stock or other Equity Securities of each Company Subsidiary owned directly or indirectly by the Company is owned free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Each Company Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent applicable, in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and each Company Subsidiary has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except when the failure to be so duly organized, validly existing, in good standing or have such power and authority would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Except for the capital stock or other Equity Securities of the Company Subsidiaries, the Company does not own or have any contractual obligation or commitment to acquire, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other Equity Securities of any Person, have any investments in, or hold any Equity Securities, directly or indirectly, in, any Person or have an obligation or requirement (including debt interests) to otherwise make any investment or capital contribution in any Person.

(d)Seller has made available to Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of the currently effective Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company and all amendments, restatements, supplements and modifications thereto (collectively, the “Organizational Documents”) and the equivalent organizational documents of each material Company Subsidiary.

All of the Equity Interests are duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid, and in each case, free and clear of preemptive rights, rights of first offer, rights of first refusal or similar rights to acquire the Equity Interests. The Seller has good, valid and marketable title to the Equity Interests, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens arising under applicable securities Laws or restrictions on transfer arising under the Organizational Documents or the Transaction Documents) and has the right to transfer and sell the Equity Interests to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. There are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, calls, put, convertible securities, exchangeable securities, subscription right, conversion rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, stock appreciation, phantom stock, profit participation or other similar rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments with respect to the Equity Interests.

. Each of Seller and the Company has all necessary limited liability or corporate power, as applicable, and authority to execute this Agreement, the Transaction Documents to which Seller or the Company, as applicable, is a party (or will be a party when executed after the date hereof) and to perform Seller’s or the Company’s, as applicable, obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to make the appropriate foreign antitrust filings (or, for jurisdictions where submission of a draft prior to formal notification is appropriate, a draft thereof) listed in Section 5.1(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable.

(b)Each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall, in connection with the efforts and obligations referenced in Section 5.1(a) to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations or expiration of waiting periods for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any applicable Antitrust Law, use its respective best efforts to (i) consult and cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry,

Materials provided to the other party hereto or its counsel may be redacted to remove references (i) concerning the valuation of the Company Group, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, (iii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client privilege or confidentiality concerns, or (iv) other competitively sensitive material.

The initial press release regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be a joint press release and thereafter Seller and Purchaser shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any Regulatory Remedy, (unless the information contained in such releases or announcements has been previously approved by

Seller and Purchaser, in which case such consultations shall not be required) and prior to making any filings with any third party and/or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service) with respect thereto, except as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service or by the request of any Governmental Entity, in each case, as determined in the good faith judgment of the party hereto proposing to make such release or other public announcement (in which case, such party shall not issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement without prior consultation with the other party hereto); provided, that (a) any such press release or public statement as may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement with any national securities exchange may be issued prior to such consultation if the party hereto making the release or statement has used its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party hereto on a timely basis and (b) each party hereto may issue public announcements or make other public disclosures regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that consist solely of information previously disclosed in press releases or public statements previously approved by either party hereto or made by either party hereto in compliance with this Section 5.5 to the extent such disclosure is consistent in all material respects with the information previously disclosed and still accurate at the time of such disclosure; provided, further, that the first sentence of this Section 5.5 shall not apply to (x) any disclosure of information concerning this Agreement in connection with any dispute between the parties hereto regarding this Agreement and (y) internal announcements to employees which are not made public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates may provide ordinary course communications regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to existing or prospective general and limited partners, equity holders, members, managers and investors of any Affiliates of such Person, in each case, who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions.

. Immediately prior to the Closing, but subject to Section 5.2(b)(xv), all intercompany balances and accounts (other than accounts set forth in Section 5.6 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules) between Seller and any of its Affiliates (other than the Company Group), on the one hand, and any Group Company, on the other hand, shall be settled or otherwise eliminated in such a manner as Seller shall determine in its sole discretion (including by Seller or any of its Affiliates removing from any Group Company any Cash Amounts or funds from cash pools by means of dividends, distributions, contribution, the creation or repayment of intercompany debt, increasing or decreasing of cash pool balances or otherwise); provided, however, that no member of the Company Group shall have any ongoing Liability to Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) from or after the Closing as a result thereof. Intercompany balances and accounts solely among members of the Company Group shall not be affected by this provision. Immediately prior to the Closing, except for the Transaction Documents to be entered into in connection with this Agreement or as set forth on Section 5.6 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, all arrangements, understandings or Contracts, including all obligations to provide goods, services or other benefits, between Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company Group), on the one hand, and any Group Company, on the other hand, shall automatically be terminated without further payment, performance or any Liability to any Group Company and cease to have any further force and effect, such that no party thereto shall have any further obligations or Liability therefor or thereunder.

(a)From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, with respect to each of the Shared Contracts, including those listed in Section 5.7(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, Seller shall, and Seller shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the counterparty to such Shared Contracts to consent to the assignment of those rights and obligations of Seller and its applicable Affiliates under such Shared Contracts to the extent related to the Company and its Subsidiaries or the Business, or to otherwise reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in Purchaser’s efforts to enter into replace such Shared

Contract into a stand-alone new Contract between a member of the Company Group and such counterparty on substantially the same terms (to the extent relating to the Company Group or the Business) as those that exist under such Shared Contract (such assignment or entry into a new Contract, the “Contract Separation”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.7(a) shall require Purchaser, Seller or any of their Affiliates to pay any fee or other payment or consideration (monetary or otherwise), take any Extraordinary Action, make a concession to any third party or provide any material right to any third party, make any material amendments or material modifications in any manner materially adverse to the extent of the rights and obligations related to Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Business), or otherwise incur any liability or out-of-pocket expense, in each case, in connection with the obligations or efforts set forth in this Section 5.7(a) (together the “Pre-Closing Proviso”); provided, further, that in the case of Shared Contracts which are Contracts primarily for the provision of material Intellectual Property Rights to the Business or any Company Group, Seller and its Affiliates shall be required to pay any one-time cost or expense reasonably required in connection with the Contract Separation of such Shared Contracts (except for any increases in the cost of licensing any such Intellectual Property Rights as a result of such Contract Separation, which shall be borne by the relevant licensee). If the parties hereto receive such consent to the partial assignment of such portion of such rights and obligations of Seller and its Affiliates under such Shared Contract (or if no such consent is required), subject to the Pre-Closing Proviso, if applicable, Seller or its Affiliates shall assign such portion of such Shared Contract to the Company in accordance with the terms thereunder, to the extent permitted under applicable Law.

(b)For any Shared Contract for which the arrangements described in Section 5.7(a) could not be entered into prior to the Closing (such Shared Contract, a “Stranded Shared Contract”), then from the Closing until the earliest of (x) completing the Contract Separation, (y) the expiration of the Stranded Shared Contract in accordance with its terms (without any extensions or renewals thereof), and (z) the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, each of Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the Contract Separation of such Stranded Shared Contract and cooperate with Purchaser in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Purchaser and all applicable Group Companies would obtain all of the benefits and assume all of the obligations and liabilities to the extent related to the Company Group or the Business under such Stranded Shared Contract to the extent permitted under applicable Law (such arrangement, a “Back-to-Back Arrangement”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.7(b) shall require Purchaser, Seller or any of their Affiliates to pay any fee or other payment or consideration (monetary or otherwise), take any Extraordinary Actions, make a concession to any third party or provide any material right to any third party, make any material amendments or material modifications in any manner materially adverse to the extent of the rights and obligations related to Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Business), or otherwise incur any liability or expense, in each case, in connection with the obligations or efforts set forth in this Section 5.7(b) (together the “Post-Closing Proviso”); provided, further, that in the case of Stranded Contracts which are Contracts primarily for the provision of material Intellectual Property Rights to the Business or any Company Group, Seller and its Affiliates shall be required to pay any one-time cost or expense reasonably required in connection with the Contract Separation and/or the provision of a Back-to-Back Arrangement of such Stranded Contracts (except for any increases in the cost of licensing any such Intellectual Property Rights as a result of such Contract Separation or provision of such Back-to-Back Arrangement, which shall be borne by the relevant licensee). Following the date hereof, other than as set forth in Section 5.7(a) neither Seller nor the Company shall, and each shall cause their Affiliates not to, enter into, terminate (other than expirations in accordance with their terms) or amend any Shared Contract.

. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party hereto agrees that, from time to time after the Closing Date, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver, or cause its Affiliates to execute and deliver, such further instruments, and use commercially reasonable efforts to take (or cause its Affiliates to take) such other action, as may be

reasonably necessary, to the extent permitted by Law, to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement; provided, however, that none of Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be required to commence, defend or participate in any litigation, or offer, grant or otherwise be liable or responsible for any payments, other amounts payable or required to be paid or other accommodation (financial or otherwise) (each an “Extraordinary Action”), make a material concession or provide any material right, or otherwise incur any liability or expense, in each case, in connection with the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8 except as expressly set out in this Agreement.

(i)At or prior to Closing, Seller shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer the employment of each Business Employee who is not employed by a Group Company to a Group Company as designated by a Seller or an Affiliate of any Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such individual cannot practicably be transferred to a Group Company, Purchaser shall extend an offer of employment to such employee on terms consistent with this Agreement and following such individual’s acceptance of such offer of employment, such individual will be a Transferred Business Employee for purposes of this Agreement.

(ii)As of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall (i) cause each Group Company to continue to employ on the Closing Date its respective Company Group Employees, and (ii) with respect to each other Business Employee, either (A) continue to employ such other Business Employee, to the extent employment continues by operation of Law, or (B) offer, or cause its applicable Affiliate to offer, employment to such other Business Employee, to the extent employment does not continue by operation of Law, in all cases, on terms consistent with this Section 5.9. Each Company Group Employee, each other Business Employee whose employment continues by operation of Law, each Business Employee who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment pursuant to this Section 5.9(a), and each Business Employee who accepts an offer of employment from Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.9(f), shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Business Employee.” Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, from and after the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall retain all Liabilities under Seller Benefit Plans, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall assume or retain, as applicable, all Liabilities under Company Group Benefit Plans.

(b)Terms and Conditions of Employment. With respect to each Transferred Business Employee who is not covered by a Labor Agreement, Purchaser shall maintain, for a period of at least twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, (A) the same wage rate or base salary level in effect for such Transferred Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (B) incentive compensation opportunities for such Transferred Business Employee that are no less favorable than those in effect immediately prior to the Closing, and (C) employee benefits (other than equity-based, defined benefit pension, and retiree health and welfare benefits) comparable to, in the aggregate, those in effect for such Transferred Business Employees immediately prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall require Purchaser or its Affiliates to provide any compensation or benefits in any particular form or under any particular employee benefit plan. The compensation, benefits and work location of Transferred Business Employees who are covered by a Labor Agreement shall be provided in accordance with the applicable Labor Agreement. As of and after the Closing, Purchaser shall provide to each Transferred Business Employee full credit for all purposes under any Company Group Benefit Plan and each other employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for such Transferred Business Employee’s service prior to the Closing with Seller or any of its Affiliates, to the same extent such service is recognized by Seller and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing;

provided, that such service shall not be credited for purposes of benefit accrual under any final average pay defined benefit pension plan or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits.

(c)Health Coverages. Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Transferred Business Employee (other than those Transferred Business Employees covered by a Labor Agreement) and his or her eligible dependents to be covered on and after the Closing by a group health plan or plans maintained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates that (i) do not limit or exclude coverage on the basis of any preexisting condition of such Transferred Business Employee or dependent (other than any limitation already in effect under the applicable group health Benefit Plan) or on the basis of any other exclusion or waiting period not in effect under the applicable group health Benefit Plan, and (ii) provide each Transferred Business Employee full credit under Purchaser’s or such Affiliate’s group health plans, for the year in which the Closing Date occurs, for any deductible or co-payment already incurred by the Transferred Business Employee under the applicable group health Benefit Plan and for any other out-of-pocket expenses that count against any maximum out-of-pocket expense provision of the applicable group health Benefit Plan or Purchaser’s or such Affiliate’s group health plans.

(d)Severance. With respect to each Transferred Business Employee whose employment is terminated without Cause during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, and who is not covered by a Labor Agreement, Purchaser shall provide such Transferred Business Employee with severance benefits substantially equal in value to the severance benefits determined in accordance with the policy set forth on Section 5.9(d) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, in each case, taking into account such Transferred Business Employee’s service with Seller and its Affiliates prior to the Closing and with Purchaser and its Affiliates on and after the Closing.

(e)Accrued Vacation, Sick Leave and Personal Time. Purchaser will recognize and assume all Liabilities with respect to accrued but unused vacation time for all Transferred Business Employees (including, without limitation, any Liabilities to Transferred Business Employees for payments in respect of earned but unused vacation time that arise as a result of the transfer of employment contemplated by this Section 5.9) as reflected in Working Capital on the agreed upon or deemed final Closing Statement or Post-Closing Statement, as applicable. Purchaser shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date of the applicable payment) reimburse Seller for any payments made by Seller or its Affiliates to any Transferred Business Employees in respect of earned but unused vacation time that become due as a result of the transfer of employment contemplated by this Section 5.9 so long as such earned but unused vacation time is reflected in Working Capital. Purchaser shall allow Transferred Business Employees to use the vacation, sick leave and personal time recognized or established in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 5.9(e) in accordance with the terms of Seller’s and its applicable Affiliates’ programs in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (in addition to, and not in lieu of, any vacation accrued under the applicable vacation plans or policies of Purchaser or its Affiliates on or following the Closing).

(f)Disability Benefits. Seller shall be responsible for providing short- or long-term disability benefits to any Business Employee who was on short- or long-term disability leave immediately prior to the Closing Date. If any Business Employee who is receiving short- or long-term disability benefits as of the Closing Date is, within twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, able to return to work, Purchaser shall offer employment to such employee on terms consistent with those applicable to Transferred Business Employees generally under this Section 5.9. Purchaser shall return to work any inactive employee of the Business who is subject to a Labor Agreement and who is receiving short or long term disability benefits as of the Closing Date, but who subsequently becomes able to return to work within the period provided in the Labor Agreement that applied to him or her immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(g)401(k) Plan. Effective reasonably promptly after the Closing, Purchaser shall establish participation by the Transferred Business Employees in Purchaser’s tax-qualified defined contribution plan or plans with a cash or deferred feature (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of each Transferred Business Employee who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, was eligible to participate in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Seller or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller 401(k) Plans”). As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Seller 401(k) Plans shall, to the extent permitted by Section 401(k)(10) of the Code, make distributions available to Transferred Business Employees, and the Purchaser 401(k) Plan shall accept any such distribution (including loans) as a direct rollover contribution if so directed by the applicable Transferred Business Employee. In addition, Purchaser may elect to cause the Purchaser 401(k) Plan and the trust established thereunder to accept a trust to trust plan asset transfer from the Seller 401(k) Plan and the trust established thereunder in respect of account balances (including any loan balances) of Transferred Business Employees, and if so elected, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such trust to trust plan asset transfer to occur as of the Closing or as promptly as administratively and commercially practicable thereafter.

(h)Annual Bonuses. Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate shall continue any Benefit Plan that is an annual bonus plan for the year in which Closing occurs and will pay such annual bonuses for the year in which the Closing occurs to the applicable Transferred Business Employees at such time as Seller or its applicable Affiliate has historically paid such bonuses, subject to the continued employment of the applicable Transferred Business Employees with Purchaser or its Affiliates at the time of payment; provided, that each such Transferred Business Employee’s bonus in respect of the year in which Closing occurs shall not be less than the accrued amount of such annual bonus in respect of such Transferred Business Employee.

(i)Labor Agreements. Seller shall, or shall cause the Company Group or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, to satisfy all bargaining obligations as of the Closing. Purchaser agrees that as of and following the Closing Date, to the extent required by applicable Law, Purchaser shall recognize the unions and works councils that are signatories to the Labor Agreements covering Transferred Business Employees as the representatives of the Transferred Business Employees of the bargaining units described therein.

(j)Treatment of International Business Employees. The following terms and conditions shall, in addition to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 5.9, apply to International Business Employees who become Transferred Business Employees (“Transferred International Business Employees”): in the case of Transferred International Business Employees, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall, in addition to meeting the applicable requirements of this Section 5.9, comply with any additional obligations or standards arising under applicable Laws or Contracts governing the terms and conditions of their employment or severance of employment in connection with the Transaction or otherwise.

(k)No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.4, the provisions of this Section 5.9 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Business Employees or Transferred Business Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of Seller, Purchaser, any Group Company or any their respective Affiliates, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Seller, Purchaser, any Group Company or any their respective Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Business Employees or Transferred Business Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between Seller, Purchaser, any Group Company or any their respective Affiliates and the Business Employees or Transferred Business Employee or any severance, benefit or other applicable plan, policy or program covering such Business Employees or Transferred Business Employee, in each case as has been disclosed to Purchaser. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this

Section 5.9 shall (i) be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any Benefit Plan, (ii) prevent Seller, Purchaser, any Group Company or any of their respective Affiliates from amending or terminating any Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan in accordance with their terms, (iii) create any third-party rights in any current or former service provider of the Seller, Purchaser, any Group Company or any their respective Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof), or (iv) prevent the Company, after the Closing, from terminating the employment of any Transferred Business Employee.

(a)After the Closing, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) assume all obligations entered into by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) in connection with or relating to the Business or the assets of the Company Group under all letters of credit (which Seller shall cause to remain in place for (extending if necessary) , and Purchaser shall replace within, 365 days after Closing), surety, performance and other bonds, bankers’ acceptances and similar facilities and guarantees, in each case, relating to the Business or the assets thereof that are directly or indirectly acquired by Purchaser under this Agreement that are listed in Section 5.10 of the Disclosure Schedules (collectively, “Credit Enhancements”), and (y) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from such applicable creditor or other counterparty a full and irrevocable release of Seller and its Affiliates that are liable, directly or indirectly, for reimbursement to the creditor or fulfillment of other Liabilities to a counterparty in connection with such Credit Enhancements. Purchaser further agrees that to the extent Seller or any of its Affiliates incurs any cost or expense, or is required to make any payment, in connection with the exercise by any third party of its rights against Seller or its Affiliate with respect to any such Credit Enhancements arising out of actions taken or failed to be taken by Purchaser or the Company Group with respect to assets of the Business directly or indirectly acquired pursuant to this Agreement, after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates against, and reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for, any and all amounts paid by Seller or its Affiliates, and shall in any event promptly and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor from Seller, reimburse Seller and any of its Affiliates to the extent that any Credit Enhancement is called upon and Seller or any of its Affiliates makes any payment or incurs any Liability in respect of any such Credit Enhancement; provided that in all circumstances, Seller shall provide reasonably prompt written notice to Purchaser of any claim, correspondence, demand or other applicable set of facts and circumstances giving rise to or reasonably likely to give rise to, any such indemnity obligation, which notice shall reasonably summarize all pertinent facts and circumstances and demand related to the same. Subject to Section 5.10(b), in relation to any Credit Enhancement which is not a letter of credit, Seller shall not, and shall procure that its Affiliates shall not, terminate, or knowingly encourage the counterparty to terminate, such Credit Enhancement and shall leave it in place for the benefit of the Company Group until the earliest to occur of (i) 18 months from the Closing and (ii) the date when, without the Seller or its applicable Affiliate terminating, or knowingly encouraging the counterparty to terminate, such Credit Enhancement, such Credit Enhancement terminates in accordance with its terms.

(b)Without limiting Purchaser’s undertaking in the foregoing Section 5.10(a), to the extent that Seller or any of its Affiliates has performance obligations under any Credit Enhancements after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, not renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations (in the aggregate in excess of the Seller’s or its Affiliates’ liability under such Credit Enhancements as at Closing, including by entering into any new or additional service order or work orders for customers secured by any such Credit Enhancements) under, or (without the consent of Seller) transfer to a third party, any such Credit Enhancements. In addition, until such time as Purchaser replaces any particular Credit Enhancement, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts) to comply with the terms of, and not to breach (or allow to be breached), such Credit Enhancement solely to the extent (x) it is reasonably foreseeable that Purchaser or any member of the Company Group could incur any Liability or be subject to any obligation

in connection therewith, including the ultimate replacement thereof and (y) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not constitute a breach of any of the terms of such Credit Enhancement and the continuation of Seller or its applicable Affiliate (other than a Group Company) as a party to such Credit Enhancement following the Closing is permissible thereunder.

(c)Seller shall cause the termination or release of all Seller Debt Obligations at or prior to the Closing and shall provide Purchaser with a confirmation from the holder(s) of such Seller Debt Obligations with respect to such release, which shall, if necessary, include an authorization in favor of Seller, an Affiliate of Seller or other Representatives of Seller or any such Affiliate to file UCC-3 termination statements or amendments. On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Seller shall make all filings (including UCC-3 termination statements or amendments if and as necessary) that may be made by Seller without the signature of any other party, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holders of the Seller Debt Obligations to make such filings, in all local, state and foreign jurisdictions necessary to give public notice of the termination and release of such Seller Debt Obligations (in each case to the extent that such filing or public notice is necessary for the release of the relevant Seller Debt Obligation) it being understood that certain releases (including mortgage releases) of Seller Debt Obligations may require the signatures of the applicable secured parties and/or counterparties, as the case may be, which Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain promptly after the Closing Date.

(a)Trademarks. Effective as of the Closing Date, other than as set forth in this Section 5.11(a), (i) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) shall use any Trademark containing or comprising the “CompuCom” name, or any variations, translations, transliteration, abbreviations or derivatives thereof, whether used alone or in combination with other words (collectively, the “CompuCom Name”) and (ii) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group) shall use any Seller Mark. As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event no longer than ninety (90) days following the Closing (the “Transition Period”), each of Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates (excluding or including the Company Group, as applicable) to, (x) cease all use of the CompuCom Name or the Seller Marks, as applicable, (y) take necessary actions to replace materials, including signage, stationery and promotional materials in any media (including digital and electronic) that bear such names or marks and (z) cause each of its Affiliates whose corporate, trade or other names include the CompuCom Name or the Seller Marks, as applicable, to change its name to remove such Trademarks from such name. Each party hereto hereby grants to the other parties hereto a non-exclusive, non-assignable, limited license during the Transition Period to the CompuCom Name or the Seller Marks, as applicable, solely to the extent, in the same manner and on the same materials that such other party used such names or marks as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the deadlines of each party hereto as the licensee herein, if a party hereto uses commercially reasonable efforts to comply with its obligations in this Section 5.11(a) and substantially performs same before such deadline, the other parties hereto shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a request for a reasonable extension of such deadline for such party to complete performance of its obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.11(a), each party hereto and its respective Affiliates shall have the right at all times after the Closing to use (i) plain-text, non-stylized versions of CompuCom Name or the Seller Marks, as applicable in a neutral, non-trademark manner to describe the history of the parties’ relationship or otherwise as required by applicable Law and (ii) CompuCom Name or the Seller Marks, as applicable, in historical legal and business documents and internal materials not visible to the public.

(i)Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (as of the Closing Date, excluding the Company Group) (the “Seller Covenant Parties”), hereby covenants to Purchaser that none of the Seller Covenant Parties shall bring any Action against Purchaser or the Company Group anywhere in the world that alleges that the current or future operation of the Company Group infringes any Intellectual Property Rights other than Trademarks (the “Inventions”) that, in each case, is (A) owned by the Seller Covenant Parties as of the Closing Date and (B) used in the Business as of the Closing Date or at any time during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Closing Date.

(ii)Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (as of the Closing Date, including the Company Group) (the “Purchaser Covenant Parties”) hereby covenants to the Seller Covenant Parties that none of the Purchaser Covenant Parties shall bring any Action against Seller or any of its Affiliates anywhere in the world that alleges that the current or future operation of any business of Seller or any of its Affiliates infringes any Inventions that are (A) owned by the Company Group as of the Closing Date and (B) used in any business of Seller or any of its Affiliates as of the Closing Date or at any time during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Closing Date.

(iii)The covenants in Section 5.11(b)(i) and Section 5.11(b)(ii) extend to the contractors, service providers, distributors, resellers and customers of the Seller Covenant Parties or the Purchaser Covenant Parties, as applicable, with respect to the covered businesses of the Seller Covenant Parties or the Purchaser Covenant Parties, as applicable, but not with respect to other products or services of such third parties.

(iv)The parties intend and agree that, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (and any amendment thereto) and any equivalent Law in any foreign jurisdiction, each of the above covenants will be treated as a license to intellectual property (as defined in Section 101(35A) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code).

(v)The covenants in Section 5.11(b)(i) and Section 5.11(b)(ii) are intended to run with the Inventions subject to such covenant. The Seller Covenant Parties and the Purchaser Covenant Parties, as applicable, may and must transfer their respective covenants granted in Section 5.11(b)(i) and Section 5.11(b)(ii), in whole or in part, to the successor or acquirer of any Inventions subject thereto, and such successor or acquirer shall be deemed to assume their respective obligations under this Section 5.11(b) by operation of Law. Each Seller Covenant Party and Purchaser Covenant Party may transfer the covenants in Section 5.11(b)(i) and Section 5.11(b)(ii), as applicable, granted thereto in whole or in part, to an acquirer of any business to which the covenant relates (or in a merger, reorganization or equity sale of any entity owning same), provided that such covenants will not extend to any other businesses of any such acquirer.

(a)The Purchaser acknowledges that all insurance coverage for the Company Group under policies of Seller and its Affiliates (including the Company Group) shall terminate as of the Closing. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for procuring, paying for and maintaining insurance coverage for the Company Group effective from and after the Closing.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 5.12(a), with respects to acts, omissions, events or circumstances relating to the Company Group or the Business that occurred or existed prior to the Closing that are covered by occurrence-based insurance policies of Seller or any of its Affiliates provided to the Company Group by third parties or by Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing, such Group Company may make claims under such occurrence-based policies subject to the terms and conditions of such occurrence-based policies and this Agreement, to the extent such coverage and limits are available; provided, that the Purchaser: (i)

shall notify, or cause the applicable Group Company to notify, Seller in writing of all such covered claims; and (ii) shall exclusively bear, or cause the applicable Group Company to exclusively bear, and neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse the Purchaser or any Group Company for, the amount of any deductibles or self-insured retentions associated with claims under such occurrence-based policies and shall be liable for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of such claims.

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Closing, none of the Purchaser or the Company Group shall have any right to make claims or seek coverage under any claims-made insurance policies provided to the Company Group by third parties or by Seller or any of its Affiliates, and, to the extent the Purchaser or any Group Company, or any of their employees or third parties, make claims under such claims-made policies after the Closing, the Purchaser agrees to indemnify Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Company Group) for the full amount of all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Seller or any such Affiliate as a result of such claims.

(d)To the extent any claims were made or coverage sought by or on behalf of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof in respect of the Business at or prior to Closing, Seller hereby covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to prosecute and otherwise pursue any outstanding claim or coverage, shall promptly keep Purchaser informed of all material developments in relation thereto and shall promptly upon receipt thereof provide purchaser or the applicable members of the Company Group all proceeds received in respect of such claim or coverage (net of any expenses or costs reasonably incurred by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with making such claim or seeking such coverage).

(e)Purchaser shall cause the Company Group to cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Company Group) to manage and conduct their insurance matters in a commercially reasonable manner. Seller shall and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to cooperate with Purchaser (and from and after Closing the Company Group) and share such information as is reasonably necessary to facilitate its obligations set forth in this Section 5.12 and otherwise in order to permit Purchaser and the Company Group to manage and conduct their insurance matters in a commercially reasonable manner.

In the event that and for so long as Seller or any of its Affiliates or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is prosecuting, contesting or defending any Proceeding or Action or claim by a third party or otherwise for legal compliance in connection with (a) the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated under this Agreement, or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction relating to, in connection with or arising from the Business or the Company Group, to the extent permitted by Law, Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (and its and their officers and employees) to, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and Seller, respectively, and its counsel (at such requesting party’s cost) in such prosecution, contest or defenses, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to make available its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to its Books and Records as shall be reasonably necessary and requested by such requesting party in connection with such prosecution, contest or defense; provided that (i) such requested cooperation shall not unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the business or the operations of the cooperating party, and (ii) the cooperating party shall not be obligated to provide access to or disclose information where such cooperating party determines, upon advice of counsel, that such access or disclosure could jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law (it being understood that such cooperating party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such access or to make such disclosure in a manner that would not jeopardize such attorney-client privilege or contravene any such Law); provided, further, that Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that this Section 5.13 shall not apply with respect to any Proceeding or Action with respect to which Purchaser and/or its Affiliates are adverse to Seller and/or its Affiliates.

(a)Seller shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, promptly pay or deliver to Purchaser (or its designated Affiliates) any monies or checks that have been sent to Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date by customers, suppliers or other contracting parties of the Business or the Company Group to the extent that they are in respect of the Business or otherwise expressly payable to the Company Group.

Period”); provided, that if such divestiture has not been consummated due to (x) any applicable waiting period (including extension thereof) applicable to such divestiture under the HSR Act, or under any other applicable Law not having expired or been terminated, or (y) the failure to procure or obtain any required governmental, regulatory or third-party consents, approvals, permits or authorizations applicable to such divestiture, then the Divestiture Period will automatically be extended so that it expires one (1) week following the later of the expiration or termination of such waiting period and the procurement or obtainment of all such consents, approvals, permits and authorizations;

(iv)providing products or services to any Person that is engaged in a Competing Business or offering, facilitating or arranging the provision of products or services by any Person (other than an Affiliate of Seller) that is engaged in a Competing Business to any Person, including any customer of Seller or any of its Affiliates;

(c)The parties understand and acknowledge that immaterial, occasional and non-recurring, de minimis or inadvertent violations of Section 5.15(b) by Seller or any of its Affiliates shall not be deemed a breach of Section 5.15(b).

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.15(d), Section 5.15 shall not apply to or restrict (i) any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Seller as of such time as such Person is no longer a Subsidiary or Affiliate of Parent, (ii) any Person that purchases assets, operations or a business from Parent, Seller or their Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates if such Person is not a Subsidiary or controlled Affiliate of Parent after such transaction is consummated or (iii) any acquiror (other than an Affiliate of Parent) of Parent, Seller, any of their Affiliates or any business division of Parent or all or substantially all of any of their respective assets; provided that, during the period specified in Section 5.15(b), any such acquiring party does not, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information or Intellectual Property Rights primarily related to the Business (it being understood that the Seller Marks are not deemed to be primarily related to the Business) in the conduct of any Competing Business.

(e)Seller acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 5.15 (and Section 5.3) were a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to perform its

obligations hereunder, that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement absent the covenants set forth in this Section 5.15 (and Section 5.3), and that Purchaser and its Affiliates will be irreparably damaged and will not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement if Seller or any of its Affiliates breached the provisions of this Section 5.15 (or Section 5.3). Seller acknowledges and agrees that such covenants are necessary and a narrowly tailored in terms of duration, scope and all other respects and are intended to protect the legitimate business interests of the Purchaser and its Affiliates. Seller further acknowledges and agrees that the benefits to Seller of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are sufficient consideration to support Seller’s agreements set forth in this Section 5.15 (and Section 5.3). Any claim that Seller or any of its Affiliates may have against Purchaser or any other Person will not constitute a defense to enforcement of any of the covenants in this Section 5.15 (or Section 5.3).

. If, following the Closing, any right, property or asset exclusively related to a business of the Seller or its Affiliates thereof (other than any member of the Company Group) other than the Business, or exclusively used by the Seller or Affiliates thereof (other than any member of the Company Group) in a manner unrelated to the Business during the twelve (12) months prior to the Closing is found to have been transferred to Purchaser through its acquisition of the Company Group in error, Purchaser shall cause the Company Group to transfer, for no consideration (but at no cost to Purchaser or any member of the Company Group), such right, property or asset as soon as practicable to Seller or an Affiliate thereof designated by Seller. If, following the Closing, any right, property or asset exclusively related to, or exclusively used in, the Business during the twelve (12) prior to the Closing is found to have been retained by Seller or a controlled Affiliate thereof, either directly or indirectly, and is not otherwise provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, Seller shall transfer, or shall cause such controlled Affiliate to transfer, for no consideration, such right, property or asset as soon as practicable to Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof (including a Group Company) designated by Purchaser.

. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII hereof (the “Exclusivity Period”), Seller and the Company shall not (and shall cause the Company’s Subsidiaries not to) take, or authorize, knowingly encourage or instruct any other Person on behalf of Seller or the Company to take, directly or indirectly, any action to (a) initiate, knowingly encourage or engage in discussions or negotiations with, (b) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage the making, submission or announcement of any proposal by, (c) execute or enter into any letter of intent or other Contract with, (d) provide any confidential and non-public information exclusively relating to the Business to, or (e) approve or recommend a proposal by, in each case of clauses (a) through (e), any Person (other than Purchaser, its Affiliates and any of its or their respective Representatives) concerning any purchase by such Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company Group, whether through a stock sale, merger, license, sale of assets or other transaction (each, an “Acquisition Proposal”); provided, however, that any Exempt Transaction (as defined below) shall not be considered an “Acquisition Proposal”. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, Seller and the Company shall (and shall cause the Company’s Subsidiaries to) cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Person (other than Purchaser, its Affiliates and any of its or their respective Representatives) conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, including by shutting down any data room access for such Persons and their Representatives, and promptly after the date hereof, instruct any Person (other than Purchaser, its Affiliates and any of its or their respective Representatives) who has entered into a confidentiality agreement with Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with an Acquisition Proposal that has not expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms to return or destroy the confidential information previously provided to such Persons thereunder in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality agreement. Seller and the Company shall (and shall cause the Company’s Subsidiaries to) promptly notify Purchaser in writing of any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request for information from any Person (other than Purchaser, its Affiliates and any of its or their respective Representatives) relating to an Acquisition Proposal that is received by the Company, any of its

Subsidiaries or Seller during the Exclusivity Period and, upon written request by Purchaser, Seller shall provide to Purchaser the identity of the Person making or submitting such inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request, and the material terms and conditions thereof. An “Exempt Transaction” means any inquiry, offer or proposal, or any expression of interest, by any third party relating to (A) a sale of Parent, or any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, tender or exchange offer, or other business combination transaction to acquire Parent, (B) a direct or indirect acquisition or purchase by any person or entity of any business division of Parent (other than the Company Group) or more than 50% of the assets, equity or other property of Parent, (C) any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction which would result, directly or indirectly, in the disposition of more than 50% of the assets, equity or other property of Parent, in each case whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions, in each case of clauses (A), (B) and (C), in which any remaining obligations of Seller and the Company under this Agreement will be fully assumed (including by operation of Law, if applicable) by, or remain with, as applicable, the entity or entities that continue to own the Company Group and the assets necessary for the Seller to perform its obligations hereunder and under any Transaction Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Parent or any of its Affiliates from taking steps to effect the separation of Parent into two independent, publicly traded companies as reported by Parent on its current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on May 5, 2021.

(a)Purchaser shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange, obtain and consummate the Financing on the terms and conditions described in or contemplated by the Commitment Letters (including complying with any request requiring the exercise of so-called “market flex” provisions in the fee letter) as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, including using reasonable best efforts to (A) maintain in full force and effect the Commitment Letters, (B) negotiate and execute definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing substantially on the terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including any “market flex” provisions applicable thereto) or on such other terms that do not in any respect expand on the conditions to the funding of the Financing at the Closing or reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing available to be funded at the Closing to an amount less than the Financing Uses (such definitive agreements, the “Definitive Financing Agreements”), (C) enforce its rights under the Commitments Letters and (D) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions and covenants applicable to Purchaser in the Commitment Letters and such Definitive Financing Agreements that are to be satisfied by Purchaser and to consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, in each case, to the extent necessary to cause the funding thereunder on the Closing Date to be in an amount, together with amounts funded under the Equity Commitment Letter, not less than the Financing Uses, and (ii) comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letters and the Definitive Financing Agreements to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate amount of funding thereunder on the Closing Date to be in an amount not less than the Financing Uses. Purchaser shall obtain the Equity Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Closing in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 (other than those conditions that are by their nature to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing). Purchaser shall keep Seller informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of any material developments concerning the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing, including such information regarding the Debt Financing as shall be reasonably necessary and requested by Seller to allow Seller to monitor the progress of such financing activities (it being acknowledged and agreed that nothing herein shall obligate Purchaser to provide Seller with copies of any Definitive Financing Agreements).

(b)In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any “market flex” provisions applicable thereto) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller, and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best

efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing that is and remains available to Purchaser, to pay the Financing Uses on the Closing Date (“Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event and to obtain and provide Seller with a copy of, the new financing commitment that provides for such Alternative Financing (the “Alternative Financing Commitment Letter”), which Alternative Financing Commitment Letter will not (i) include conditions (including any “market flex” provisions applicable thereto) to the availability of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date that are, taken as a whole, less beneficial in any material respect to Purchaser than those contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (including any “market flex” provisions applicable thereto) or (ii) include terms or conditions reasonably expected to prevent, impede, or delay the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date. In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, in the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, but any bridge facilities contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (or alternative bridge facilities constituting Alternative Financings obtained in accordance with this Section 5.18(b)) are available on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter (or replacements thereof), then Purchaser shall cause the proceeds of such bridge financing to be used in lieu of such contemplated Debt Financing (or portion thereof, as the case may be) as promptly as practicable. As applicable, references in this Agreement (other than with respect to representations in this Agreement made by Purchaser that speak as of the date hereof) (i) to the Debt Financing shall include Alternative Financing, (ii) to Commitment Letter or Debt Commitment Letter shall include the Alternative Financing Commitment Letter and (iii) to Definitive Financing Agreements shall include the definitive documentation relating to any such Alternative Financing.

(c)Without limiting the generality of Section 5.18(b), Purchaser shall promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days of obtaining knowledge thereof) notify Seller in writing of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) termination, repudiation, rescission, cancellation or expiration of any Commitment Letter or Definitive Financing Agreement, (ii) any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) under any Commitment Letter or Definitive Financing Agreement by any party to such Commitment Letter or Definitive Financing Agreement (in the case of any such breach or default by Purchaser, limited to any such breach or default that would reasonably be expected to result in the aggregate amount of Financing to be funded on the Closing Date being less than the amount of the Financing Uses), (iii) receipt by any of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Representatives of any notice or other communication from any Debt Financing Source with respect to any (A) actual, threatened or alleged breach, default, termination, rescission or repudiation by any party to any Commitment Letter or Definitive Financing Agreement or any provision of any provision of any Commitment Letter or Definitive Financing Agreement (including any proposal by any Debt Financing Source, lender or other Person to withdraw, terminate, repudiate, rescind or make a material change in the terms of (including the amount of Financing contemplated) any Commitment Letter) or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Commitment Letter or Definitive Financing Agreement to the extent such material dispute or disagreement would reasonably be expected to result in the aggregate amount of Financing to be funded on the Closing Date being less than the amount of the Financing Uses or (iv) if for any reason Purchaser in good faith believes that (A) there is a dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Commitment Letter or any Definitive Financing Agreement or (B) there is a possibility that it will not be able to obtain any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Financing Agreements, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to result in the aggregate amount of Financing to be funded on the Closing Date being less than the amount of the Financing Uses. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within three (3) Business Days, Purchaser shall provide to Seller and its Representatives any and all information reasonably requested by Seller relating to any of the circumstances referred to in this Section 5.18(c).

(d)Purchaser shall not permit or consent to or agree to (i) any amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement, termination or other modification or waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Equity Commitment Letter (other than to increase the amount of Equity Financing available thereunder), (ii) any amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement, termination or other modification or waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter or Definitive Financing Agreement if such amendment, restatement, supplement, termination, modification or waiver would (A) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date or would otherwise change, amend, modify or expand any of the conditions precedent to the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date, in any such case, from those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter on the date of this Agreement, (B) change the timing of the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date thereunder, (C) be reasonably expected to impair, delay or prevent the availability of all or a portion of the Financing on the Closing Date in such amount, (D) reduce the aggregate cash amount of the Debt Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financing (except as set forth in any “market flex” provisions existing on the date of this Agreement)) to be funded on the Closing Date to an amount that, together with the Equity Financing, is less than the amount of the Financing Uses or (E) otherwise adversely affect the ability of Seller or Purchaser to enforce its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter or the Purchaser to enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter, in each case, to cause the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date in an aggregate amount not less than the Financing Uses or by making such funding of the Financing less likely to occur or (iii) the early termination of the Commitment Letters or any Definitive Financing Agreement (except as expressly set forth therein on the date hereof). Purchaser shall furnish to Seller a copy of any amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement or modification of the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Financing Agreements, or any waiver or consent by Purchaser thereunder that adversely impacts Purchaser’s right to cause the funding thereunder on the Closing Date, in each case promptly upon execution thereof. Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Commitment Letters until the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated; provided however for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser may amend, replace, supplement and/or modify the Debt Commitment Letter in a manner not in violation of the foregoing provisions of this clause (d), including to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities as parties thereto who have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof. For purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to representations in this Agreement made by Purchaser that speak as of the date hereof), references to the “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include such document as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified or waived in a manner not in violation of this clause (d), in each case from and after such amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement or other modification or waiver.

(e)If the Debt Commitment Letters are replaced, amended, supplemented or modified, including as a result of obtaining Alternative Financing, or if Purchaser substitutes other debt financing for all or any portion of the Debt Financing in accordance with this Section 5.18, Purchaser shall comply with its obligations under this Agreement, including this Section 5.18, with respect to the Debt Commitment Letters as so replaced, amended, supplemented or modified to the same extent that Purchaser were obligated to comply prior to the date the Debt Commitment Letters were so replaced, amended, supplemented or modified. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.18 to the contrary, compliance by Purchaser with this Section 5.18 shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Financing is available and Purchaser acknowledges that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are not contingent on Purchaser’s ability to obtain the Financing (or any Alternative Financing) or any specific term with respect to such financing.

(f)Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 5.18 shall automatically terminate upon consummation of the Closing.

(a)Prior to the Closing Date, Seller agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall cause the Company Group and their respective officers, directors and employees to use, reasonable best efforts to provide, in each case at Purchaser’s sole expense, and shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to direct its and their respective Representatives to provide such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser that is necessary or customary for financings of the type contemplated in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, including using reasonable best efforts to:

(i)furnish to Purchaser (A) the Required Financial Information within 15 days after the end of the applicable fiscal quarter end and (B) such other pertinent and customary information regarding the Business as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to the extent that such information is required in connection with the Debt Commitment Letter; provided that (I) Seller and the Company Group shall only be obligated to deliver such information to the extent such information may be obtained from the Books and Records of Seller and the Business without undue effort or expense and without any delay in timing of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (II) in connection with the foregoing clause (B), Seller and the Company Group shall not be obligated to furnish any of the Excluded Information;

(ii)upon reasonable prior notice and at reasonable times and locations to be mutually agreed, cause members of management of the Business to participate in a reasonable number of meetings and presentations with prospective lenders, and sessions with the ratings agencies contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, in each case in connection with the Debt Financing and only to the extent customarily needed for financings of the type contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter;

(iii)cause members of management of the Business to reasonably (A) assist Purchaser in its preparation of any bank information memoranda and related lender presentations, (B) assist Purchaser in its preparation of materials for rating agency presentations; provided that any such bank information memoranda, lender presentations, offering memorandum or similar documents that includes disclosure and financial statements with respect to the Business shall only reflect Purchaser and, following the Closing, the Company Group as the obligor(s) and no such bank information memoranda, lender presentations or materials shall be issued by Seller, its Subsidiaries or the Company Group, and (C) solely with respect to financial information and data derived from the Business’s historical Books and Records, provide information to allow Purchaser to prepare the pro forma financial information and pro forma financial statements in connection with the Debt Commitment Letter, and in each case of clauses (A) through (C), only to the extent customarily needed for financings of the type contemplated by the Debt Financing, it being agreed that information and assistance will not be required relating to (I) the proposed aggregate amount of debt and equity financing, together with assumed interest rates, dividends (if any) and fees and expenses relating to the incurrence of such debt or equity financing, (II) any post-Closing or pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization, ownership or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any information used in connection with the Debt Financing or (III) any financial information related to Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or any adjustments that are not directly related to the acquisition of the Business by Purchaser;

(iv)reasonably facilitating the provision of guarantees and the pledging of collateral (provided that (A) none of the documents or certificates shall be executed and/or delivered except in connection with the Closing, (B) the effectiveness thereof shall be conditioned upon, or become

operative after, the occurrence of the Closing and (C) no liability shall be imposed on Seller, any Group Company or any of their respective officers or employees involved); and

(v)(i) cause the members of management of Company Group, with appropriate seniority and expertise, to reasonably assist in the preparation of the principal Definitive Financing Agreements (including all schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto), (ii) cause the Company Group to execute and deliver as of the Closing (but not prior to Closing) customary Definitive Financing Agreements, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the Debt Financing (in each case to be held in escrow pending the Closing) (provided, that (A) none of the foregoing documents or certificates shall be executed and/or delivered except in connection with the Closing, (B) the effectiveness thereof shall be conditioned upon, or become operative after or concurrently with, the occurrence of the Closing, and (C) no liability shall be imposed on Seller or its Subsidiaries, any of the Company Group or any of their respective officers or employees involved) and (iii) obtain and facilitate the termination or release of all Seller Debt Obligations as described in Section 5.10(c).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.19(a), nothing will require Seller or the Company Group to provide (or be deemed to require Seller or the Company Group to prepare) any (1) pro forma financial statements or (2) projections (“Excluded Information”).

(b)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) such requested cooperation shall not (A) unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the business or the operations of Seller or its Subsidiaries, including the Business or (B) cause significant competitive harm to Seller or its Subsidiaries, including the Business, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, (ii) nothing in this Section 5.19 shall require cooperation to the extent that it would (A) subject any of Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’, including the Company Group’s, respective directors, managers, officers or employees to any actual or potential personal liability, (B) reasonably be expected to conflict with, or violate, Seller’s and/or any of its Subsidiaries’, including the Company Group’s, organization documents or any Law, or result in the contravention of, or violation or breach of, or default under, any Contract to which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, including the Company Group, is a party, (C) cause any condition to the Closing set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 to not be satisfied or (D) cause any breach of this Agreement, (iii) neither Seller, any Subsidiary thereof nor any Group Company shall be required to (A) pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur or assume any liability or other obligation in connection with the financings contemplated by the Commitment Letters, the Definitive Financing Agreements or the Financing or be required to take any action that would subject it to actual or potential liability, to bear any cost or expense or to make any other payment or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Commitment Letters, the Definitive Financing Agreements, the Financing or any information utilized in connection therewith, (B) deliver or obtain opinions of internal or external counsel, (C) provide access to or disclose information where Seller determines that such access or disclosure could jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law or Contract, or (D) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or any other Contract to which Seller or its Subsidiaries, including the Company Group, is party, (iv) none of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the Company Group, or their respective directors, officers or employees, acting in such capacity, shall be required to execute, deliver or enter into or perform any agreement, document or instrument, including any Definitive Financing Agreement, with respect to the Financing or adopt any resolutions or take any other actions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Financing is obtained, including any Definitive Financing Agreement, and (v) none of the Group Companies or their respective directors, officers or employees shall be required to execute, deliver or enter into, or perform any agreement, document or instrument, including any Definitive Financing Agreement, with respect to the Financing that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing Date and the directors and managers of the Company Group shall not be required to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant

to which the Financing is obtained unless Purchaser shall have determined that such directors and managers are to remain as directors and managers of the Company Group on and after the Closing Date and such resolutions are contingent upon the occurrence of, or only effective as of, the Closing. To the extent that this Section 5.19 requires Seller’s and the Company Group’s cooperation with respect to any of obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter or relating to the Debt Financing, Seller and the Company Group shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 5.19 for purposes of Article VIII of this Agreement if Seller and the Company Group have provided Purchaser with the assistance required under this Section 5.19 with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter and the Debt Financing, in each case without giving effect to any Alternative Financing Commitment Letter or Alternative Financing.

this Article VI or Article IX, except to the extent such delay actually prejudices the Seller. Seller shall have the exclusive right to control the audit of any Seller Consolidated Return; provided, however, that the Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed with respect to the commencement, status, and nature of such audit.

For the avoidance of doubt, a withholding Tax required to be collected from the consideration paid to Seller hereunder shall be treated as a Pre-Closing Tax of the Seller and not as Transfer Tax. The party responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to the other party. Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate to timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes.

. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated and the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(b)by Seller, if any of Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in Article IV of this Agreement shall fail to be true and correct or Purchaser shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, and such failure or breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) to be satisfied as of the Closing Date and is not curable by the Outside Date or has not been cured by the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty (30) Business Days after the date that Seller has notified Purchaser of such failure or breach and (ii) the Outside Date; provided, that Seller and the Company is not then in breach of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such that such that such failure or breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) to be satisfied as of the Closing Date or if Seller’s or the Company’s failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a proximate cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

The parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Section 8.2 shall be deemed to affect their respective rights to specific performance under Section 10.6, including Seller’s right to specifically enforce Purchaser’s rights under the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter and the terms and conditions (including limitations) of Section 10.6 in order to specifically enforce this Agreement to the extent such rights are available as provided for herein.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) any payment of the Termination Fee is not a penalty but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller in the circumstances in which such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 8.2 and Section 5.19, Seller agrees and acknowledges that, in the event that the Termination Fee is payable, then (i) Seller’s receipt of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.2 and any other amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.2(c) and Seller’s right to seek specific performance of this Agreement by Purchaser prior to termination of this Agreement, as provided for and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6, shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy against Purchaser, the Debt Financing Sources, and their respective Related Parties, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, for any loss arising out of this Agreement, the Guaranty or the other transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) upon receipt of the Termination Fee by Seller and any other amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.2(c), none of Purchaser, the Debt Financing Sources or their respective Related Parties shall have any further Liability whatsoever relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall Seller be (x) entitled to collect the Termination Fee on more than one occasion (or, after the receipt thereof, any portion thereof or any further funds or amounts) or (y) permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance as contemplated by Section 10.6 and payment of the Termination Fee. Seller further agrees that the maximum aggregate liability of Purchaser and all of Purchaser’s Related Parties, taken as a whole, shall be limited to an amount equal to the amount of the Termination Fee, and in no event shall Seller be entitled to recover any money damages or other losses or damages of any kind, character or description in excess of such amount, except as expressly permitted by Section 8.2(c) (and only to such limited extent), provided that nothing in this Section 8.2 shall limit Purchaser’s reimbursement and indemnification

obligations under Section 5.19. In no event shall Seller seek to recover, or be entitled to recover, monetary damages from any Related Party of Purchaser, other than Purchaser under this Agreement or the Guarantor under the Guaranty.

. In the event of termination by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice of such termination shall be given by the terminating party to the other party to this Agreement in order to effect such termination.

. None of the representations and warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, except for (i) the Seller’s Fundamental Representations, which shall survive the Closing until the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Closing Date; (ii) liability for breach of those covenants and agreements contained in Section 5.2, Section 5.6, Section 5.7(a), Section 5.9(a), Section 5.13 and Section 5.17 to the extent that its terms applies or is to be performed prior to the Closing (the “Seller Pre-Closing Covenants”), which shall survive the Closing until the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing Date; (iii) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing, and (iv) this Article IX and Article X (and any corresponding definitions set forth in Article I). This Section 9.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement that by its terms contemplates performance after the Closing, and shall not extend the applicability of any covenant or agreement of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement that by its terms relates only to a period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing. Seller’s obligations to pay Pre-Closing Taxes under Section 9.2(a) shall survive the Closing for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date (the “Tax Survival Date”). Provided, however, nothing in this Section shall limit Purchaser’s rights to indemnification with respect to sub-sections (i) to (iv) (inclusive) and pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(B) with respect to (i) any claim under such sub-section herein or Section 9.2(a)(B) made prior to the applicable survival date or (ii) any Proceeding commenced by the applicable authority prior to the applicable survival date. Further, nothing in this Section 9.1 shall affect the survival of any liability for Fraud.

(a)Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, effective as of and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all (A) Covered Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, to the extent arising out of or resulting from (i) the failure of any of the Seller’s Fundamental Representations to be true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as if made on such date, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in the Seller Pre-Closing Covenants, (iii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement to be performed by Seller following the Closing, (iv) any Liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates to the extent not relating to, arising out of or resulting from, the Company Group or their respective assets or the Business, or (v) any third-party claims resulting from the Malware Incident and (B) Pre-Closing Taxes.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, (x) Seller shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party for, (i) any Covered Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii) or any Pre-Closing Taxes to the extent that such Covered Losses or such Pre-Closing Taxes, as applicable, are reflected, recorded or included in Funded Debt or Working Capital on the Post-Closing Statement, or which were previously paid pursuant to Section 6.1, or to the extent a Cash Sweep Withholding Amount was left with the applicable

Group Company with respect to such Pre-Closing Taxes, (i) any lost or reduced future revenues or profits or other Covered Losses, in each case arising out of or resulting from any loss or threatened loss of, or disruption or threatened disruption in, business opportunities of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, or the relationship of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries with their respective current or prospective customers or business relationships, as a direct or indirect result of the Malware Incident, or (iii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in the Seller Pre-Closing Covenants to which Purchaser has Knowledge of at or at any time prior to the Closing, (y) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Covered Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(A)(v) exceed $10,000,000 and (z) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Covered Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.2(a)(A) exceed $25,000,000.

. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, effective at and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Covered Losses incurred or suffered by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties to the extent arising out of or resulting from (i ) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement to be performed by Purchaser following the Closing or (ii) any Liabilities to the extent arising out of or relating to the ownership or operation of the Business or the Company Group following the Closing by Purchaser or its Affiliates, in all cases other than (i) with respect to any Liabilities arising out of, or related to, the Malware Incident; and (ii) any Liabilities which are the responsibility of the Seller or its Affiliates under this Agreement.

(a)A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to such right of indemnification (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party) the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under Section 5.10(a), Section 5.12(c) and this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), it being agreed that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 9.1 for such covenant or agreement.

(b)Except as provided in Article VI, upon receipt of a notice of a Third Party Claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 5.10(a), Section 5.12(c), Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party); provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action or (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense except that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such external separate counsel if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create

a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of external counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including by furnishing Books and Records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement or compromise of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided, that such settlement or judgment does not involve any injunctive or other equitable relief or finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates and expressly unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all Liabilities with respect to such Third Party Claim. No Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that, except as set forth in any other Transaction Document, following the Closing, (x) the indemnification provisions of Section 5.10(a), Section 5.12(c) and Section 9.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Seller and (y) and the indemnification provisions of Section 9.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Purchaser with respect to matters specifically set forth therein, in each case of the foregoing clause (x) and (y), for any Covered Losses and any other losses and Liabilities (including any Covered Losses and any other losses and Liabilities from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that such party hereto may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction or the other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by any party hereto, or any failure by any party hereto to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided that nothing set forth in this Section 9.5 shall apply to (A) Fraud or (B) any remedies of Seller or any of its Affiliates for any losses and Liabilities (including any losses and Liabilities from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that Seller or any of its Affiliates may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with the Promissory Note or the transaction contemplated thereby, including any breach of any representation or warranty in the Promissory Note by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or any failure by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, under the Promissory Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive (i) any right of rescission of this Agreement, and (ii) other than as provided in the foregoing, any claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, following the Closing, whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise, that in either case (i) or (ii) they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled; provided that nothing set forth in this sentence shall apply to Fraud or to any rights or claims relating to the Promissory Note.

. With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement, all Covered Losses shall be net of any third-party insurance or indemnity, contribution or similar proceeds that have been recovered or are recoverable (unless the

Indemnified Party has exhausted commercially reasonable efforts to receive the proceeds without the proceeds being recovered) by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (it being agreed that if third-party insurance or indemnification, contribution or similar proceeds in respect of such facts are recovered by the Indemnified Party subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment in satisfaction of its applicable indemnification obligation, such proceeds shall be promptly remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the indemnification payment made), and the Indemnified Party shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance and indemnity, contribution or similar provisions covering such Covered Loss to the same extent as it would if such Covered Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder; provided that all deductibles, co-pay amounts and costs or expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such recovery, including all premiums and other costs of such insurance policies (and any increase in premium payable by such indemnified party, or any retroactive adjustment under any such policy) shall constitute Covered Losses and nothing set forth herein shall require that any party or Affiliate thereof take any legal action against any insurer or third party provider for indemnification or contribution or similar payment. Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against any third party insurers and any third parties that do not have any material ongoing relationship with Purchaser, its Affiliates or the Business with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights to the Indemnifying Party upon the written request of the Indemnifying Party.

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including this Article IX), neither party hereto shall be liable to the other party hereto or its Affiliates, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, at law or in equity, and “Covered Losses” shall not include any amounts, for (a) any consequential, special, incidental, indirect, punitive or similar damages (including lost profits, diminution of value, or damages calculated on multiple of earnings or other metrics approaches), in each case except to the extent reasonably foreseeable or payable to a third party or (b) any punitive damages except to the extent payable to a third party.

. Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX in respect of any Covered Loss will be reduced by an amount equal to (i) any Tax benefit for U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income Tax purposes to the extent actually resulting in a reduction in a cash Tax liability (within the taxable year in which the Covered Loss was incurred or the immediately following two taxable years) as a result of such Covered Loss by the Indemnified Party, less (ii) any Tax detriment (including any reduction in depreciation or amortization) actually realized as a result of such Covered Loss by the Indemnified Party (including as a result of the receipt of a payment by an Indemnifying Party).

. Each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its respective Covered Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Covered Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

. To the extent of any inconsistency between Article IX and Article VI with respect to a Tax matter, the provisions in Article VI shall control.

. Parent hereby (x) agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that Seller shall remain in existence and not be wound up or dissolved until the later of the following: (i) five (5) years from the Closing Date and (ii) the later of the date: (A) when Seller ceases to be subject to any material obligation under this Agreement and (B) the end of the Statement Period; and (y) guarantees the Seller’s due, prompt and faithful performance and discharge (including with respect to

payment) of, and compliance with, whether before or after Closing, all of the obligations (including payment), covenants, terms, conditions and undertakings by Seller under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. Purchaser hereby agrees that Parent shall have all defenses to its obligations hereunder that would be available to Seller under this Agreement other than those relating to financial distress, insolvency or illiquidity of Seller. Parent represents and warrants to Purchaser that Parent has the power and authority to execute this Agreement and undertake the obligations set forth in this Section 9.11. Should Parent cease to be the ultimate parent company of Seller, Parent shall remain liable pursuant to this Section 9.11.

. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto and the Guaranty, along with the Seller Disclosure Schedules and Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. Neither party hereto shall be liable or bound to the other party in any manner by any representations, warranties or covenants relating to such subject matter except as specifically set forth herein and therein.

. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations of the parties hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part (including by operation of law in connection with a merger or consolidation or conversion) by Purchaser, Seller or the Company without the prior written consent of Seller (in the case of Purchaser) or Purchaser (in the case of Seller or the Company Group), which may be withheld in the absolute discretion of the party with such consent right, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Purchaser without the consent of Seller (and any Affiliate of Purchaser may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to another Affiliate of Purchaser or to Purchaser without the consent of Seller), but must remain liable hereunder, (ii) each of Seller and the Company may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any entity that acquires all or substantially all of Seller’s assets related to this Agreement, whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or otherwise without the consent of Purchaser (including any entity that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Parent or any division or business segment of Parent), but, in each case Seller must remain liable hereunder and the applicable assignee must agree in writing to bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents applicable to Seller and any remaining obligations of Seller under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents will be fully assumed by such Person (including by operation of Law, if applicable), (iii) each of Seller and the Company may assign its rights and interests (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to any debt financing sources (or the agents for such debt financing sources) as collateral security without the consent of Purchaser but, in each case, must remain liable hereunder and (iv) Purchaser and its Affiliates may assign their rights and interests (but not their obligations) under this Agreement to any of the Debt Financing Sources (or the agents for the Debt Financing Sources) as collateral security without the consent of Seller, but, in each case, must remain liable hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators and permitted assigns.

. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. By an instrument in writing, Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller or the Company, on the other hand, may waive compliance by the other with any term or provision of this Agreement that the other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform.

Such waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with such term or provision shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure of compliance.

. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto are not intended to confer in or on behalf of any Person not a party to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any rights, benefits, causes of action or remedies with respect to the subject matter or any provision hereof; provided that (i) the Related Parties of Seller, the Company or Purchaser, as applicable, are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 10.14, and (ii) if the Closing occurs, the Indemnified Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, the provisions of Article IX to the extent applicable to such Indemnified Parties.

. All notices and other communications to be given to any party hereunder shall be sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if in writing and delivered by hand, courier or overnight delivery service, or five (5) days after being mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with appropriate postage prepaid, or when received in the form of an email transmission (receipt confirmation requested), and shall be directed to the address set forth below (or at such other address or email address as such party shall designate by like notice):

(a)Subject to Section 8.2, the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions, and accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled in Law or in equity. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other parties hereto or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letters (subject to the limitations expressly set forth therein) to prevent breaches of, enforce compliance with, this Agreement, or, in the case of Seller or the Company, to cure breaches of those covenants of Purchaser that require Purchaser to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing (including, to the extent required, Alternative Financing), to enforce its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter (subject to the limitations expressly set forth therein), including complying with and performing its covenants and agreements herein, including the covenants set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.18. If any party hereto brings any claim to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by the period of time between the commencement of such claim and the date on which such claim is fully and finally resolved.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 10.6(a), Section 10.6(b), or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company and the Seller shall be entitled to specific performance of Purchaser’s obligations to cause the Equity Financing to be funded (or to cause directly such Equity Financing to be funded under the Equity Commitment Letter on the terms set forth therein) and to cause the Closing to occur in accordance with Section 2.3 only in the event that: (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 have been satisfied or waived in writing, (ii) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 have been satisfied or waived in writing (other than those conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but which are capable of satisfaction at the Closing); (iii) the Debt Financing and, if applicable, any Alternative Financing have been funded or the Debt Financing Sources and, if applicable, the alternative financing sources have confirmed in an irrevocable writing that the Debt Financing and, if applicable, any Alternative Financing will be funded if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing (provided that Purchaser shall not be required to draw down the Equity Financing or to consummate the Closing if the Debt Financing and, if applicable, the Alternative Financing are not in fact funded at the Closing); (iv) the Closing will occur substantially simultaneously with the drawdown of the Debt Financing or, if applicable, the Alternative Financing; (v) each of the Company and the Seller has irrevocably confirmed in writing that it stands ready, willing and able to consummate the Transaction and if specific performance is granted and such Equity Financing and Debt Financing (and, if applicable, any Alternative Financing) are funded, then Seller and the Company will take all actions within their control to cause the Closing to occur, and (vi) Purchaser fails to complete the Closing within three (3) Business Days after the delivery of such irrevocable written confirmation described in the foregoing clause (v) (which written confirmation shall not have been revoked, modified or withdrawn during such three (3) Business Day period); provided that nothing in this Section 10.6 shall prevent Seller or the Company from seeking and obtaining specific performance against (A) the Guarantor under the Guaranty to the extent expressly permitted under, and in accordance with, the

terms and conditions set forth therein and herein or (B) Purchaser to cause Purchaser to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing (including, to the extent required, Alternative Financing), including by enforcing its rights under the Commitment Letters against any Debt Financing Source. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (x) except with respect to the applicable obligations of Purchaser to cause the Equity Financing to be funded, in which case, the parties agree that Seller’s sole remedy in connection with Purchaser’s failure to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby shall be, subject to the terms of Section 8.2(b), the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) and receive the Termination Fee and any applicable reimbursements pursuant to Section 8.2(c) and Section 5.19(c) (or the guarantees thereof pursuant to the Guaranty), this Section 10.6 shall not limit or otherwise affect the rights of the Company or the Seller to obtain specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to any other obligation of Purchaser hereunder; and (y) under no circumstances shall the Company or the Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance pursuant to this Section 10.6(b) and payment of the Termination Fee.

(c)The parties further agree that, subject in all cases to Section 10.6(b), (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.6, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of available relief that may be available to a party under, and in accordance with, this Agreement in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 10.6 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (y) nothing set forth in this Section 10.6 shall require any party hereto to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.6 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VIII (and/or receipt of any amounts due pursuant to Section 8.2), nor shall the commencement of any legal action or legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.6 or anything set forth in this Section 10.6 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VIII, or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter that may be available then or thereafter in each case on the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 10.6(c), (i) nothing set forth in this Section 10.6(c) expands any rights or limits any obligations otherwise set forth in, or otherwise modifies, any other Section of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (ii) under no circumstances shall Seller be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance pursuant to Section 10.6(b) and payment of the Termination Fee. Subject to compliance with Section 8.2, Section 10.6(b), and the remainder of this Section 10.6, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief in accordance with this Section 10.6 on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party hereto seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction.

(d)If Seller brings an Action for specific performance pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 10.6, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Purchaser breached this Agreement in connection with its failure to effect the Closing in accordance with this Agreement, but such court declines to enforce specifically the obligations of Purchaser to effect the Closing in accordance with this Agreement, then, in addition to the right of Seller to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, Seller shall be entitled to pursue payment of the Termination Fee as provided for in Article VIII (and any applicable reimbursements pursuant to Section 8.2(c) and Section 5.19(c) (or the guarantees thereof pursuant to the Guaranty)). For the avoidance of doubt, while Seller may, subject in all respects to this Section 10.6, Section 8.2, and Section 10.14 (including, in each case, the limitations set forth therein), pursue both a grant of specific performance to the extent permitted by this Section 10.6, on the one hand, and the payment of (x) the Termination Fee, if, as, and when due under Section 8.2 (and any applicable reimbursements pursuant to Section 8.2(c) and Section 5.19(c) (or the guarantees thereof pursuant to the Guaranty)), or (y) damages for Fraud or Willful Breach prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, on the other hand, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document or otherwise, under no circumstances shall the Company or Seller be permitted or entitled to receive (i) both a grant of specific performance to cause the Equity Financing to be funded (or to cause directly such Equity Financing to be funded under the Equity Commitment Letter on the terms set forth therein) and/or to require Purchaser to consummate the Closing, on the one hand, and payment of any monetary damages whatsoever or payment of the Termination Fee, if, as, and when due under Section 8.2(b) (and any applicable reimbursements pursuant to Section 8.2(c) and Section 5.19(c) (or the guarantees thereof pursuant to the

Guaranty)), on the other hand, or (ii) both payment of any monetary damages whatsoever on the one hand, and payment of the Termination Fee, if, as, and when due or Section 8.2(b) (and any applicable reimbursements pursuant to Section 8.2(c) (or the guarantees thereof pursuant to the Guaranty)), on the other hand.

ordinary course of business; and (iii) shall not constitute an admission or indication by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, that such disclosure is required to be made pursuant to any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.
