ARTICLE 2

PURCHASE PRICE

2.1 Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration for the Purchased Assets shall be (a) a cash purchase price of Seventeen Million dollars ($17,000,000) (the “Base Price”), which amount shall be subject to the deductions and adjustments set forth in Sections 2.2(a), 2.3, and 2.5, plus (b) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (together with the Base Price, the “Purchase Price”).

2.2 Closing Date Payment Amount.

(a) Subject to Section 2.3(a) and this Section 2.2, at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller or the applicable payee identified on the Estimated Closing Statement, in each case, to the account designated on the Estimated Closing Statement, an aggregate amount equal to:

(i) the Base Price; plus

(ii) an amount, if any, equal to the excess of the Net Working Capital over the Target Net Working Capital; less

(iii) an amount, if any, equal to the excess of the Target Net Working Capital over the Net Working Capital; less

(iv) an amount equal to $1,700,000 (the “Holdback Amount”); less

(v) an amount, if any, equal to the Indebtedness outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time that is assumed by Purchaser and is not paid off from the Closing Date Payment Amount (as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement); less

(vi) any amount in respect of the prorated share of any ad valorem Taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets for Pre-Closing Tax Periods as described in Section 2.5; less

(vii) any other amounts to be paid by Purchaser directly to a third party on behalf of the Seller, including any Third Party Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness, in connection with the Closing as set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement.

(b) Each of the items described in Section 2.2(a), including the portion of the Purchase Price payable on the Closing Date to the Seller (the “Closing Date Payment Amount”) shall be specified on the Estimated Closing Statement.

(c) With respect to the deductions from the Purchase Price described in Sections 2.2(a)(vii), at the Closing, Purchaser shall make such payments on behalf of the Seller as are set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, including payoff of any Third Party Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness (to the extent reflected thereon).

2.3 Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Seller’s good faith estimate as of the Effective Time of the Net Working Capital of the Seller and the Business (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) as well as each of the other items described in Section 2.2(a) and the resulting estimated calculation of the Closing Date Payment Amount (the “Estimated Closing Date Payment Amount”). The Estimated Closing Statement and the calculations and determinations related thereto shall be prepared in good faith from the Seller’s and the Business’s books and records and calculated in accordance with the specific provisions of this Agreement (including the definition of “Net Working Capital”) and, if not specified, the Accounting Principles, and the calculation of the Estimated Net Working Capital shall be substantially in the form of the Sample Calculation. Seller shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments by Purchaser to the Estimated Closing Statement and will re-issue the Estimated Closing Statement with any such changes that Seller has determined in good faith are appropriate prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall have no obligation to comment on the Estimated Closing Statement and acceptance of the Estimated Closing Statement by Purchaser shall not prejudice any rights of Purchaser under this Agreement, including this Section 2.3.

(b) “Net Working Capital” shall be an amount, in respect of the Seller and the Business, equal to (i) the sum of the value of (A) the Qualified Inventory (valued and determined in accordance with Section 2.3(c)), (B) the Accounts Receivable (which shall be valued at book value and shall be determined net of any reserve for discounts, rebates or doubtful accounts) and (C) the net book value of all useable and transferable prepaid expenses and deposits included in the Purchased Assets (which shall be valued at the book value of such prepaid expenses and deposits), minus (ii) the aggregate amount of the Assumed Payables, and minus (iii) the aggregate amount of the Assumed Customer Deposit Liabilities, in each case to the extent set forth on the Post-Closing Statement as finally determined hereunder and included in the Assumed Liabilities. The components of Net Working Capital shall be calculated as specified in this Section 2.3(b) and, if not so specified, in accordance with the Accounting Principles. A sample calculation of Net Working Capital is set forth on Schedule I hereto for illustrative purposes only (the “Sample Calculation”).

(c) The value of the Qualified Inventory shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.3(c) and shall be based on the physical inventory count conducted by the Purchaser and the Seller prior to the Closing Date. All items of Qualified Inventory will be valued at the lesser of (i) Seller’s cost for such items (determined on an average cost basis) or (ii) the fair market value of such items, and in either case, net of any customary reserves determined on an average cost basis. The Seller’s “Qualified Inventory” is the Seller’s Inventory as of the Closing Date that is in a condition suitable to realize normal margins in the ordinary course of the business as currently conducted and that is not Excluded Inventory. “Excluded Inventory” means (i) Inventory that has been damaged, discontinued or returned by a customer, (ii) special order or custom Inventory that has been refused by a customer or that is no longer associated with an active customer order or for which the customer’s purchase of such Inventory is doubtful or (iii) Inventory that, subject to the reasonable determination of Purchaser on a case-by-case basis, is on hand in a quantity that exceeds the amount of such Inventory item sold in the twelve (12) month period preceding the Closing. Excluded Inventory that is deducted from Qualified Inventory may be removed from the applicable operating facility by the Seller within thirty (30) days following the Closing upon prior notice to Purchaser. Any Excluded Inventory that is not so removed shall remain at the Premises and be transferred to Purchaser as a part of the Purchased Assets without additional cost. Upon notification that Seller intends to remove any such Excluded Inventory, Seller and Purchaser will coordinate a mutually agreeable time for such removal taking into account time of year, ability of Purchaser to store such inventory and other relevant factors.

(d) Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller, as promptly as practicable, after the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, but not later than the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth its determination of the Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), as well as each of the items described in Section 2.2(a) and the resulting calculation of the Closing Date Payment Amount (the “Actual Closing Date Payment Amount”). The Post- Closing Statement and related calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, each of the other items described in Section 2.2(a) and the resulting Actual Closing Date Payment Amount shall be determined in accordance with the specific provisions of this Agreement (including the definition of “Net Working Capital”) and, if not specified, the Accounting Principles, and the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital shall be substantially in the form of the Sample Calculation. The Seller Parties and their Representatives shall be permitted reasonable and timely access to review the books and records, work papers, and other materials of Purchaser related to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement.

(e) The Post-Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties unless the Seller gives Purchaser written notice, within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, of one or more objections, which objections shall be limited to good-faith, reasonably detailed assertions that the calculations therein were not made in the manner required by this Agreement. Any items set forth in the Post-Closing Statement as to which the Seller does not make a timely objection will be final and binding as proposed by Purchaser. The Parties shall negotiate for a period of forty-five (45) days or such longer period as they may agree (the “Resolution Period”), to resolve those items as to which the Seller has timely objected. If the Parties are unable to resolve all such disputes within the Resolution Period, then, within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Resolution Period, each item remaining in dispute (each, a “Disputed Item”) shall be submitted to Grant Thornton LLP or another independent and nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm selected by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to the Seller (the “Accountant”) for resolution as set forth herein.

(f) The Accountant shall be permitted reasonable and timely access to review the books and records, work papers, and other materials of Purchaser and the Seller Parties related to each Party’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, the other items described in Section 2.2(a) and the resulting calculation of the Actual Closing Date Payment Amount. In connection therewith, the Accountant shall address only the Disputed Items. The Accountant shall deliver to the Seller and Purchaser, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after submission of the disputed items, a report setting forth the adjustments, if any, to the Post-Closing Statement and the calculations supporting such adjustments. Such report shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error. The Post-Closing Statement, as adjusted pursuant to such report, shall become final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent manifest error. The cost of the Accountant shall be borne by Purchaser and the Seller in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accountant, which proportionate allocation also shall be determined by the Accountant at the time the determination of the Accountant is rendered on the merits of the matter submitted.

(g) The Parties agree that after the final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital, the other items described in Section 2.2(a) and the resulting Actual Closing Date Payment Amount (such date of such final determination, the “Final Determination Date”), as set forth above, the Closing Date Payment Amount shall be increased or decreased, as follows. All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.3(g) shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(i) In the event that the Actual Closing Date Payment Amount exceeds the Estimated Closing Date Payment Amount (the “Excess Amount”), Purchaser will pay to the Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Excess Amount to an account or accounts designated by the Seller, within ten (10) Business Days after the Final Determination Date.

(ii) In the event that the Estimated Closing Date Payment Amount exceeds the Actual Closing Date Payment Amount (the “Decrease Amount”), the Seller Parties, jointly and severally, shall pay such Decrease Amount to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days after the Final Determination Date. If the Seller Parties fail to make a payment required by this Section 2.3(g), Purchaser shall have the right to recover such amount from the Holdback Amount.

2.4 Wrong Pockets. In the event that following the Closing, either Party discovers any asset that was (i) not conveyed to Purchaser at the Closing that relates to or is used or held for use by any Seller Party for the conduct of the Business, and that does not constitute an Excluded Asset, or (ii) wrongfully conveyed to Purchaser at the Closing that does not relate to or is not used or held for use by any Seller Party for the conduct of the Business, or that was an Excluded Asset, such Party that is wrongfully in possession of such asset shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, take all action reasonably necessary to promptly convey such asset to the proper Party, without the need for any additional consideration, and such asset shall be considered a Purchased Asset or an Excluded Asset, as applicable, for all purposes hereunder.

2.5 Proration of Ad Valorem Taxes. In the case of any taxable period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), Purchaser and the Seller shall apportion all property and similar ad valorem Taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets based upon the number of days in such Straddle Period. The Seller shall be responsible for all such Taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets for the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be responsible for all such Taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets for the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, as determined on a daily pro rata basis. If the final prorated amounts are not known as of the Closing Date, such amounts shall be estimated, and adjustments thereto shall be made after the Closing at such time as they are known to the Parties.

2.6 Collection of Accounts Receivable. Following the Closing, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts in the ordinary course of business to collect Accounts Receivable in a manner no less rigorous than the collection efforts used in Purchaser’s own business operations, but it will not be required to institute legal proceedings or hire a collection agent for the purpose of collecting any Accounts Receivable. All payments will be applied first to the oldest undisputed Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date and then to receivables arising from sales after the Closing Date. Promptly following the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date (the “A/R Adjustment Date”), Purchaser shall in good faith determine the total amount of Accounts Receivable included in Closing Net Working Capital that is not fully collected by the A/R Adjustment Date, net of any reserves or allowance for doubtful collections of Accounts Receivable included in the Closing Net Working Capital (such amount, the “A/R Adjustment Amount”), and shall notify the Seller in writing of the proposed A/R Adjustment Amount. The review and dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 2.3(e) and Section 2.3(f) shall apply to the determination of the A/R Adjustment Amount mutatis mutandis. Upon the Parties’ mutual agreement or final determination as to the A/R Adjustment Amount, the Seller Parties shall, jointly and severally, remit to Purchaser by wire transfer within five (5) Business Days the A/R Adjustment Amount. If the Seller Parties fail to make such payment, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover all or any portion of the unpaid A/R Adjustment Amount, if any, from the Holdback Amount. Any portion of the Accounts Receivable not collected by the A/R Adjustment Date shall be automatically assigned to the Seller for its benefit and may be pursued and collected by Seller or its designees and/or assignees, in Seller’s sole discretion, but otherwise shall be written off and valued at zero for purposes of the final determination of the Net Working Capital hereunder. Following payment of the A/R Adjustment Amount owed to Purchaser hereunder, if Purchaser receives any subsequent payment in respect of such Accounts Receivable, Purchaser shall promptly pay over to the Seller such amount, less any directly related costs of collection.

2.7 Special Order Inventory. Following the Closing, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts in the ordinary course of business to finish and sell any special order or custom Inventory that was included as Qualified Inventory for purposes of the final determination of Closing Net Working Capital. Promptly following the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Special Order Inventory Adjustment Date”), Purchaser shall in good faith determine the total amount of the special order or custom inventory included as Qualified Inventory in Closing Net Working Capital that was either (i) unsold as of the Special Order Inventory Adjustment Date (the “Unsold Special Order Inventory”) or (ii) was sold prior to the Special Order Inventory Adjustment Date for an amount that was less than the value of such Inventory as reflected in Closing Net Working Capital (the difference between the amount sold and the value of such Inventory as reflected in Closing Net Working Capital, the “Sold Special Order Inventory Deficit”) and shall notify the Seller in writing of the sum of the aggregate amount of such unsold Inventory (as such amount was reflected in Closing Net Working Capital) and the Sold Special Order Inventory Deficit (such aggregate amount, the “Special Order Inventory Shortfall Amount”). The review and dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 2.3(e) and Section 2.3(f) shall apply to the determination of the Special Order Inventory Shortfall Amount mutatis mutandis. Upon the Parties’ mutual agreement or final determination as to the Special Order Inventory Shortfall Amount, Seller shall remit to Purchaser by wire transfer within five (5) Business Days the Special Order Inventory Shortfall Amount. If Seller fails to make such payment, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover all or any portion of the unpaid Special Order Inventory Shortfall Amount, if any, from the Holdback Amount. Any portion of the unsold special order or customer Inventory shall be assigned to the Seller for its benefit and may be resold or otherwise disposed of by Seller without restriction, but otherwise shall be written off by Purchaser.

2.8 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) The Parties agree that, for federal and applicable state income Tax purposes, the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (plus other relevant items and taking into account any adjustments thereto) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in a manner consistent with the principles set forth on Exhibit B, which is intended to be in accordance with IRC Section 1060 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Allocation Methodology”).

(b) Within sixty (60) days after the Post-Closing Statement is finalized pursuant to Section 2.3, Purchaser shall provide the Seller with an allocation of the Purchase Price (together with any Assumed Liabilities and any other amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets in a manner consistent with the Allocation Methodology (the “Draft Purchase Price Allocation”). If the Seller disagrees with any item set forth in the Draft Purchase Price Allocation, the Seller shall, within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Draft Purchase Price Allocation to the Seller, provide to Purchaser written notice of its objection to the Draft Purchase Price Allocation and the reasons therefor, in which event Purchaser and the Seller shall endeavor in good faith to agree upon an allocation schedule. If the Parties cannot resolve such objection, the item in question shall be resolved by the Accountant. The final allocation schedule, determined pursuant to the previous two sentences, as applicable, shall be the “Final Purchase Price Allocation.” The fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accountant, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and which proportionate allocation shall be determined by the Accountant.

(c) Neither the Seller Parties nor Purchaser will take a position on any income Tax Return, before any Governmental Authority charged with the collection of any Tax, or in any judicial proceeding that is in any way inconsistent with the terms of this Section 8 or the Final Purchase Price Allocation, and the Seller and Purchaser shall file Form 8594 with the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in a manner consistent with the Final Purchase Price Allocation, unless otherwise required pursuant to Applicable Law. If the Purchase Price is adjusted in any manner as provided in this Agreement, such allocation shall be adjusted as mutually agreed by the Parties to reflect such adjustments to the consideration paid pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8(c) will survive the Closing indefinitely.

6.3 Employee Matters.

(a) It is the intention of Purchaser that substantially all current Employees listed on Schedule 3.16(a) of the Seller’s Disclosure Letter who are employed on the Closing Date will be offered employment with Purchaser. However, subject to Purchaser’s customary screening and conditions to employment, as applicable, Purchaser shall have the sole right to determine which current Employees will be offered employment or hired by Purchaser. Following the date hereof, the Seller will provide Purchaser with commercially reasonable assistance in the conduct of the interviewing and hiring of such Employees, including the distribution of pre-employment applications and benefits enrollment documentation. Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall notify the Seller of those Employees to whom it intends to make an offer of employment, and the Seller shall accept the resignation or otherwise terminate such Employees no later than immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each of the Seller’s employees hired at the Closing by Purchaser are referred to herein as “Continuing Employees.” For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, confers upon any Employee any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period.

(b) The Seller will be responsible for all other compensation owed to Employees through their respective dates of termination from the Seller’s employ, whether or not accrued, including all wages, bonuses, commissions and incentive compensation, employment taxes, 401(k) contributions, profit sharing contributions, employee and Seller premiums for welfare benefit insurance coverage, business expenses and other reimbursements, severance, separation or change in control pay, and the payment of any deferred compensation, or similar benefits whether or not such obligations arise as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. For avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not assume any obligations under any Employee Plan or any employment, bonus, severance, retention, change of control, termination agreement or similar benefit between any Seller Party and any Employee, including those resulting from the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, all of which shall be Retained Liabilities. No later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date occurring on or after the Closing Date, the Seller shall pay each Continuing Employee (via payroll and subject to applicable withholding) all compensation owed to Employees through their respective dates of termination from the Seller’s employ, whether or not accrued, including all wages, bonuses (including change of control bonuses), commissions and incentive compensation, all accrued but unused vacation or other paid time off, employment taxes, 401(k) contributions, profit sharing contributions, employee and the Seller premiums for welfare benefit insurance coverage, business expenses and other reimbursements, severance, separation or change in control pay, and the payment of any deferred compensation, or similar benefits.

(c) Purchaser is not assuming any Employee Plan, and shall not be obligated to continue or maintain any particular benefit or component of any Employee Plan after the Closing, however Continuing Employees (and their spouses, dependents and beneficiaries) shall be eligible to become participants in all health, welfare and 401(k) employee benefit plans and programs available to Purchaser’s similarly situated employees, and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have any applicable eligibility period waived with respect to its health and welfare benefit plans offered to such Continuing Employees and provide prior service credit to such Continuing Employee for purposes of benefits eligibility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement affects Purchaser’s ability to amend or terminate Purchaser’s employee benefits at any time, in its sole discretion.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from the Closing until October 1 ,2024 (the “Benefits Transition Period”), Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to keep the Employee Plans with respect to health and welfare benefits in full force and effect for all Continuing Employees and Purchaser shall pay (or reimburse) the Seller for all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including the costs and expenses incurred in connection with any claims under the Employee Plans during the Benefits Transition Period. The costs of continuing to provide health and welfare benefits under the Employee Plans for any partial month during the Benefits Transition Period shall be determined on a daily pro rata basis.

(e) With respect to any Employee who is not a Continuing Employee, Purchaser shall, if and to the extent required by Applicable Law, provide health care continuation coverage in the manner and to the extent required under COBRA to each individual who is deemed to be an “M&A qualified beneficiary” as defined in Treas. Reg. § 54.4980B-9 with respect to Seller’s group health plan as a result of any transactions or matters contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Parties shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and reimburse the Purchaser for, all unreimbursed amounts incurred by it in connection with the performance or administration of such obligation with respect to any Employee who is not a Continuing Employee.

(f) Subject to the other terms of this Section 6.3, the Seller shall be solely responsible for all liabilities based upon, arising out of or relating to the Employee Plans, or the employment or termination by the Seller of the Seller’s current or former directors, officers, employees, or leased employees, whether asserted prior to, on or after Closing.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3, the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement is not intended to create a contract between Purchaser, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates on the one hand and any Employee on the other hand, and no Employee may rely on this Agreement as the basis for any breach of contract claim against Purchaser or the Seller, (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to require Purchaser to continue to employ any particular Employee for any period after Closing, and (iii) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to limit Purchaser’s right to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee during any period after the Closing Date.

(h) Other than any Transaction Payments set forth on Schedule 3.17(h) of Seller’s Disclosure Letter, no Seller Party shall pay any Continuing Employee any Transaction Payment or similar bonus or other payment without the prior consent of Purchaser.

6.4 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and paid by the Seller when due. The Parties agree to execute and deliver to each other such resale, occasional sale, or similar certificates as may be requested in order to qualify for available exemptions from Transfer Taxes. The Seller shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to Transfer Taxes, and Purchaser shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary. The Seller has notified (and Purchaser may notify) all of the Governmental Authorities in the jurisdictions that impose Taxes on the Seller or where the Seller has a duty to file Tax Returns of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the form and manner required by such taxing authorities. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Seller is liable for any Tax, the Seller shall promptly pay any and all such amounts and shall provide evidence to the Purchaser that such liabilities have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied.

(b) The Seller shall include any items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and tax credit with respect to the sale of the Purchased Assets on the Seller’s federal, state, local and non- U.S. income Tax Returns for the Tax Period in which the Closing occurs.

(c) Purchaser shall prepare and file any property and similar ad valorem Tax Returns that are required to be filed with respect to the Purchased Assets that are filed after the Closing Date. To the extent not already deducted from the Base Price, the Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any property and similar ad valorem Taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets allocable to the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period pursuant to Section 2.5 within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of a request from Purchaser for such payment.

(d) Any and all existing Tax indemnification, sharing, allocation, and similar agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Purchased Assets or the Business shall be terminated as of the Closing Date.

6.5 Accounts Receivable. After the Closing, the Seller agrees to cooperate as reasonably requested by Purchaser with respect to the collection of any Accounts Receivable. Except as so requested, however, or as otherwise consented to by Purchaser, the Seller Parties agree to refrain from taking any action that could reasonably be expected to interfere with Purchaser’s collection of the Accounts Receivable. If the Seller receives a payment in respect of any Account Receivable after the Closing, it shall hold such payment in trust for Purchaser and shall remit such payments to the Purchaser no later than the close of business on the third (3^rd) Business Day of the week following receipt thereof. From and after the Closing, Purchaser may open all mail and other communications addressed to Seller that it receives and that it believes relate to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business, and may endorse without recourse the name of the Seller on any check or other payment instrument received by Purchaser on account of any Accounts Receivable. Purchaser will promptly forward to the Seller any such mail or other communications that do not relate to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business.

6.6 Inventory. In connection with the Closing, Purchaser and the Seller shall perform a physical inventory accounting of the Inventory in a mutually agreeable manner (the “Inventory Inspection”). Prior to the Inventory Inspection, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a listing of all Inventory as of the date that the Inventory Inspection is scheduled to commence and shall permit Purchaser to perform the Inventory Inspection, including granting Purchaser’s designated personnel access to the Seller’s warehouses and any other locations where Inventory is located at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice such that there is no disturbance with Seller’s ordinary business operations.

6.7 Name. After the Closing, the Seller shall not utilize in connection with any business activity the name “High Mountain Door and Trim” or any other name that includes “High Mountain” or any other name or designation included in the Purchased Assets. In addition, no Seller Party shall, at any time from and after the Closing, make any trade name or other filing or otherwise register any business or Intellectual Property in any jurisdiction or with any Governmental Authority, to the extent such filing or registration involves any trade names used in the Business, including the name “High Mountain” or any other name or designation included in the Purchased Assets. Purchaser may, after the Closing, file all such documents necessary to register the Business or any Intellectual Property of the Seller as a trade or fictitious name in such jurisdictions as Purchaser shall deem necessary, and the Seller shall cooperate as reasonably requested in connection therewith, including execution of assignments or releases of such names with any Governmental Authority. Within five (5) Business Days after Closing, the Seller shall provide Purchaser with evidence that the Seller has filed the necessary documents to change its name with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to one that does not include and is not otherwise in any way similar to the Seller’s current name.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, following the date hereof, Seller and Purchaser shall agree upon a time and method whereby the Purchaser may announce the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the employees of the Seller and conduct customary on-boarding activities; provided that any such announcement shall not disclose any of the terms of the transaction. Following the Closing, (i) a Party may announce to its employees, customers and suppliers that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement has been consummated; provided, however, that any such announcement shall not disclose any of the terms of the transaction, and (ii) Builders FirstSource, Inc. and the Owner may disclose the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the terms thereof, such as the purchase price and sales of the Business, in its periodic reports filed with the SEC, earnings releases and investor presentations; provided, however, that neither Builders FirstSource, Inc. shall not issue any press release, SEC report or similar disclosure the primary purpose or primary content of which is the disclosure of the transaction; provided, further, that (i) Owner shall not issue any press release, or similar disclosure the primary purpose or primary content of which is the disclosure of the transaction and (ii) Owner shall provide Purchaser with an opportunity to review any Current Report on Form 8-K and shall use reasonable best efforts to avoid identifying Purchaser or its Affiliates by name in the body of the Current Report on Form 8-K.

6.9 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Non-Competition.

(c) No Solicitation or Interference with Employees. Each of the Seller Parties agrees that, for the duration of the Restricted Period, it shall not, directly or indirectly, hire, solicit, request or induce any Continuing Employee to terminate his or her employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or enter the employ of any other Person.

From and at all times after the Closing, each of the Seller Parties shall, shall cause its respective Affiliates to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to: (i) hold in strict confidence any and all Confidential Information, whether written or oral, concerning the Business or the Purchased Assets, and (ii) not sell or use Confidential Information for such Person’s own direct or indirect benefit or the benefit of any other Person except to the extent that such Seller Party can show that such information (x) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of a Seller Party, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives; or (y) is lawfully acquired by such Seller Party, Affiliate or Representative from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If any Seller Party, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Applicable Law, the affected Seller Party shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing and shall cause the applicable party to disclose only that portion of such information which it is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that such Seller Party shall cooperate with Purchaser to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser or its Affiliates shall, at the Closing, become the exclusive owners of the Confidential Information and that the Seller Parties shall cease to have any right, title or interest therein. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information of or concerning the Business, Purchased Assets, or the Seller including Trade Secrets, not generally known to the public, including, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, financial statements, financial projections and budgets, customer and sales data, capital spending budgets and plans, and the names of key personnel, customer requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans, systems, structures and architectures.

Each Seller Party acknowledges that the consideration received by the Seller (and indirectly, by the Owner) pursuant to this Agreement constitutes good, valuable, adequate and sufficient consideration for such covenants and the obligations of each Seller Party hereunder. Each Seller Party agrees that each of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 6.9 is and shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant and agreement. If any such covenant or agreement or any part thereof is held invalid, void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction as to any one or more Seller Parties, then (x) the covenant or agreement shall be modified, as to such Seller Party only, to the least extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and (y) such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability shall not apply to any other Seller Party and will in no way render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part of this Agreement. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained herein are reasonable and necessary to protect Purchaser’s legitimate business interest and, if violated, would cause Purchaser irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Seller Party agrees that if any portion of this Section 6.9 is breached, then Purchaser may at its election in any court of competent jurisdiction, and in addition to any other remedy available to it, seek to obtain specific performance of such provision or seek to enjoin such Seller Party from engaging in the activities proscribed by this Section 6.9, in each case without any requirement to post a bond for such purpose. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser is expressly permitted to disclose the existence of this Section 6.9 or any obligation set forth in this Section 6.9 to any Person with whom a Seller Party conducts business or proposes to conduct business in a manner that may violate this Section 6.9.

(e) Any Action related to the transactions contemplated hereby or Seller’s application or distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Assets hereunder brought by any current or former investor in the Owner or any current or former holder of any equity, debt, convertible, derivate or other securities of the Owner.

Each of Section 7.1(a) through Section 7.1(e) shall be deemed to be an independent basis for indemnification, provided no Person shall be entitled to more than one recovery for the same Loss. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.1 shall encompass claims of a Purchaser Indemnified Party for any Loss sustained by a Purchaser Indemnified Party whether or not involving any Action by a third party.

7.2 By Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 7, from and after the Closing, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and defend the Seller Parties, their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors and Representatives, and each of their respective successors and assigns (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) and shall hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses suffered by a Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with or resulting from:

(a) any inaccuracy or breach (or in the case of a Third Party Claim, any alleged breach) of a representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection herewith;

(b) any breach of or failure to comply with any covenant or agreement made by Purchaser in this Agreement or any agreement or instrument delivered in connection herewith;

(d) the operation or conduct of the Business, or operations, actions or matters related to the Premises, following the Closing Date, excluding any Losses arising out of or resulting from any breach by the Seller Parties of the representations and warranties in Article III hereof; or

(e) any liabilities, obligations or duties under the Lease to the extent (i) arising out of the operation of the Business after the Closing or Purchaser’s occupancy of the Real Property under the Lease after the Closing or (ii) primarily arising out of any other facts, circumstances or events existing or occurring after the Closing.

Each of Section 7.2(a) through 7.2(e) shall be deemed to be an independent basis for indemnification under each such subsection, provided no Person shall be entitled to more than one recovery for the same Loss. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.2 shall encompass claims of a Seller Indemnified Party for any Loss sustained by a Seller Indemnified Party whether or not involving any Action by a third party.

7.3 Survival; Time Limitations.

(a) Each of the representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date (such date, the “General Expiration Date”); except for the representations and warranties in (i) Sections 3.1(a), (c) and (d), 3.2(a), 3.4, the last sentence of 3.8(a), the last sentence of 3.8(c)(ii), 3.21, 3.22, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4, each of which shall survive the Closing and terminate on the date which is six years after the Closing Date, and (ii) Sections 3.13, 3.15 and 3.17, each of which shall survive the Closing and shall terminate upon the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the representation and warranties which gave rise to such claim expires (the representation and warranties set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.3(a) are collectively referred to as the “Fundamental Representations”).

(b) All covenants and agreements of the Parties contained herein shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the period specified therein, if any.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non- breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation, warranty or covenant, and such claims, along with the obligations under this Article 7 with respect to such claims, shall survive until finally resolved.

(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the representations, warranties, and covenants of the Seller Parties in this Agreement are a material inducement to Purchaser’s execution and delivery of and performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller Parties, and each Purchaser Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that any Purchaser Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

7.4 Additional Limitations.

(a) Subject to subparagraph (c) below, the Seller Parties will not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.1(a), until the aggregate amount of all Losses subject to indemnification pursuant to such Section exceeds an amount equal to $85,000 (the “Basket”), in which event the Seller Parties shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar of such Losses. Subject to paragraph (c) below, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller Parties shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.1(a) in the aggregate shall not exceed an amount equal to $1,700,000 (the “Cap”). For the purposes of determining whether a breach or a representation or warranty has occurred and the amount of any Losses resulting from such breach, materiality, Material Adverse Effect, and other similar qualifiers shall be disregarded.

(b) Subject to subparagraph (c) below, Purchaser will not be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party for breaches of representations or warranties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses subject to indemnification pursuant to such Section exceeds the Basket, in which event the Purchaser shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Basket. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Purchaser shall be required to pay or be liable for breaches of representations or warranties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) shall not exceed the Cap.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Basket and Cap described above shall not apply with respect to any Fundamental Representation or, for avoidance of doubt, fraud or a breach of any covenant or agreement made herein. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller Parties shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.1(a) solely with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation shall be an amount equal to the Base Price.

7.5 Procedure for Claims and Satisfaction. All claims for indemnification under this Article 7 will be resolved in accordance with the following procedures. A party seeking to be indemnified hereunder is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the party or parties from whom indemnification hereunder is sought are referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(a) Defense of Third Party Claims.

(i) Notice of Claim; Acknowledgment. If a claim or demand for indemnification hereunder is asserted by an Indemnified Party as a result of a claim or demand asserted by a Person not a Party, an Affiliate thereof, or a successor or assign of a Party or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will give prompt notice of such claim or demand (the “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party, provided, however, any delay in giving a Claim Notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim, at its expense, with counsel of its choice (subject to approval of the Indemnified Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that it gives the Indemnified Party notice (the “Notice of Defense”) within twenty-one (21) days after the receipt (or deemed receipt) of the Claim Notice, stating that such claim is indemnifiable under this Agreement and the Indemnifying Party is defending the Third Party Claim and provides evidence of Indemnifying Party’s financial ability to satisfy any such claim. If the Indemnifying Party defends a matter that involves a Person with whom any Indemnified Party has a business relationship, the Indemnifying Party will undertake such defense in a manner that has due regard for such Indemnified Party’s relationship with such Person.

(ii) Control of Defense; Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.5: (A) the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense; and (B) the Indemnified Party will be entitled to have, or if applicable, to assume control of the defense of such claim, and the Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of lawyers retained by the Indemnified Party, if: (1) the Indemnifying Party either failed to give a timely Notice of Defense or has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend such claim or action, (2) criminal penalties or equitable relief could be imposed on the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim, (3) such Third Party Claim involves a Major Customer, or (4) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that its anticipated Losses in connection with such Third Party Claim is expected to exceed the Indemnifying Party’s exposure in respect thereof, taking into account the Cap, if applicable, and the then-current balance of funds available in the Holdback Amount.

(iii) Settlement. An Indemnifying Party shall not unilaterally settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such settlement will not lead to financial Liability or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities in connection with the Third Party Claim.

(iv) Other. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a timely Notice of Defense as provided above or is not defending a Third Party Claim by reason of Section 7.5(a)(ii) or otherwise, then it will be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to defend or settle such claims, but it will have the right, at its expense, to attend, but not otherwise participate, in proceedings with such third parties.

(b) Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification hereunder for a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice after the Indemnified Party determines that it has a Direct Claim to assert, provided, however, that any delay in giving notice will not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and indicate the estimated amount, if known, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party (which estimate shall not prejudice any final determination). The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt (or deemed receipt) of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives to reasonably investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within the 30-day period referenced above, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have approved such claim.

(i) Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article 7, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within ten (10) Business Days, provided, however, that with respect to any amounts payable hereunder by the Seller Parties the amount thereof shall be paid first from the Holdback Amount, to the extent funds are available therein. If an amount payable hereunder by the Seller Parties is greater than the then-current balance of the Holdback Amount, then the entire balance of the Holdback Amount shall be released to Purchaser and the excess shall be payable directly by the Seller Parties.

(ii) Within five (5) Business Days following the date which is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Holdback Release Date”), any remaining balance of the Holdback Amount, less any Pending Claim Amount, shall be released and paid to Seller. A “Pending Claim Amount” means an amount equal to a reserve reasonably determined by Purchaser in good faith for actual and verified Losses or Losses that are reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with any then-pending claim arising out of this Agreement that remains outstanding and unresolved as of the Holdback Release Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the release or unavailability of the Holdback Amount shall not relieve the Seller Parties of their indemnification obligations hereunder.

(d) Exigent Circumstances. Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Agreement, this Section 7.5 shall not be construed to reduce or lessen the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 7 if prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day notice period described above in Section 7.5(a) or 7.5(b) the Indemnified Party shall take action with respect to a claim (whether or not a Third Party Claim) if the Indemnified Party believes in good faith that such action is reasonably required to avoid personal injury, minimize or reduce the amount of the Loss incurred in respect thereof or avoid a forfeiture or penalty imposed by Applicable Law.

(e) Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnity payments made pursuant to Article 7 shall be deemed to be, and each of Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall treat such payments as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

(f) Other. In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party, the amount of any Loss shall be computed net of payments actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses. Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, to the extent required by Applicable Law, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise to such Losses.

7.6 Exclusive Remedy. Other than the rights of the Parties to seek specific performance, injunctive or equitable relief as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the provisions of this ARTICLE 7 and Sections 2.3, 2.6 and 6.3 set forth the sole and exclusive rights and remedies of the parties hereto for any breach of this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, in no way shall this Section 7.6 limit any of the Parties’ rights and remedies under the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations in this Section 7.6 shall not apply with respect to any fraud committed by a Party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8
TERMINATION

8.1 Termination. This Agreement will terminate prior to Closing:

(a) upon the mutual written agreement of the Seller and the Purchaser;

(b) upon written notice by either Purchaser to the Seller, on the one hand, or the Seller to the Purchaser, on the other hand, if following the date of this Agreement, any Governmental Authority issues, enacts, promulgates, or enforces any Applicable Law or order or decree (that is final and non-appealable and that has not been vacated, withdrawn or overturned) restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) if such Applicable Law or order or decree is primarily attributable to a failure on the part of such Party to perform any covenant under this Agreement in all material respects (which, in the case of the Seller, shall apply with respect to any failure of the Seller Parties to perform any covenant under this Agreement in all material respects);

(c) upon written notice by either Purchaser to the Seller, on the one hand, or the Seller to the Purchaser, on the other hand, if the Closing has not occurred on or before October 1, 2024 (the “Outside Date”), except that no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if such failure to satisfy the applicable conditions to Closing by the Outside Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)) is primarily attributable to a failure on the part of such Party to perform any covenant under this Agreement in all material respects (which, in the case of the Seller, shall apply with respect to any failure of the Seller Parties to perform any covenant under this Agreement in all material respects);

(d) upon written notice from the Purchaser to the Seller if the Seller Parties have breached any of their representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement that would give rise to a failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.3 (excluding conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) which breach has not been waived by the Purchaser and cannot be or has not been cured by the earlier of the Outside Date or fourteen (14) days after the giving of notice by the Purchaser specifying such breach and on the condition that such failure does not result from any breach by the Purchaser of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; or

(e) upon written notice from the Seller to the Purchaser if the Purchaser has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement that would give rise to a failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.4 (excluding conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) which breach has not been waived by the Seller and cannot be or has not been cured by the earlier of the Outside Date or fourteen (14) days after the giving of notice by the Seller specifying such breach, so long as the failure does not result from any breach by the Seller Parties of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

8.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will become null and void and of no further force or effect, except that (a) the provisions of Section 6.12 and Article 9 and will survive, and (b) if this Agreement is terminated by a Party because of the material and willful breach of this Agreement by the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating Party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other Party’s material and willful breach of its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating Party’s right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

ARTICLE 9

Without limiting the foregoing, no exercise of a remedy shall be deemed an election excluding any other remedy (any such claim by any other Party being hereby waived).

9.4 Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver; Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed to have incorporated by reference all of the appendices, schedules and exhibits referred to herein to the same extent as if such appendices, schedules and exhibits were fully set forth herein. This Agreement and the appendices, schedules and exhibits attached hereto represent the entire understanding and agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any prior agreements and understandings among the Parties with respect to that subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument executed by an authorized officer of each of the Parties. The granting of any waiver with respect to any failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement, and no waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, and a waiver with respect to any individual failure, breach or default shall not act as a waiver in respect of any other failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or any other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against public policy for any reason, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

9.5 Assignment; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but no assignment of this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations set forth herein shall relieve any Party of its obligations hereunder. No Party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, Purchaser may, without the written consent of the Seller Parties, assign all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates.

9.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be controlled, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

9.7 Seller’s Disclosure Letter. The Seller’s Disclosure Letter has been arranged, for purposes of convenience only, as a separately titled Seller’s Disclosure Letter corresponding to the Sections of Article 3. Any information set forth in any section of the Seller’s Disclosure Letter shall be considered to have been set forth in each other section of the Seller’s Disclosure Letter and shall be deemed to modify the respective representations and warranties in Article 3, in each case, solely to the extent that it is readily apparent on the face of the disclosure that the disclosure in one section of the Seller’s Disclosure Letter is applicable to such other section of the Seller’s Disclosure Letter. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Seller’s Disclosure Letter is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are material or are or are not required to be disclosed or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business. The information contained in the Seller’s Disclosure Letter is disclosed solely for the purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever, including of any violation of law or breach of any agreement. The information contained in the Seller’s Disclosure Letter is intended to qualify the representations and warranties in Article 3 but is not intended to constitute a representation or warranty itself for purposes of this Agreement except to the extent set forth herein. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item in the Seller’s Disclosure Letter shall not be adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement, unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself.

9.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Article 7, the Parties do not intend to confer any benefit under this Agreement upon anyone other than the Parties, and nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to confer such benefit on any other Person.

9.9 Construction. The Parties agree that “including” and other words or phrases of inclusion, if any, shall not be construed as terms of limitation, so that references to “included” matters shall be regarded as nonexclusive, non-characterizing illustrations and equivalent to the terms “including, but not limited to,” or “including, without limitation.” Each Party acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be advised and represented by legal counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, and accordingly agrees that if any ambiguity exists with respect to any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall not be construed against any Party solely because such Party or its Representatives were the drafters of any such provision. The captions and other headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are in no way to be construed as part of this Agreement or as limitations on the scope of the particular articles, sections, paragraphs or other subdivisions to which they refer, and shall not affect the interpretation or meaning of this Agreement. “Article,” “Section,” “Subsection,” “Appendix,” “Exhibit” or “Schedule” refer to such item of or attached to this Agreement. Whenever the context requires, defined terms used in the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular.

9.10 Computation of Time. Time is of the essence with respect to all time periods and due dates in this Agreement. However, if the last day for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge of any duty under this Agreement falls upon a day which is not a Business Day, then the Party having such privilege or duty will have until 5:00 p.m. its local time on the next succeeding regular Business Day to exercise such privilege or to discharge such duty.

9.11 Dispute Resolution; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) In the event of any dispute or disagreement between or among any of the parties hereto following the Closing as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the performance of any obligations hereunder, including, but not limited to, any claim of indemnification pursuant to Article 7 that is the subject of a Claim Notice, such applicable parties shall promptly meet in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute or disagreement. If such applicable parties do not resolve such dispute or disagreement within thirty (30) calendar days, each such applicable party shall be free to exercise the remedies available to it specifically provided by this Agreement.

(b) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL LIE EXCLUSIVELY IN FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE. BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT, AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE MAILING BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OF ANY PROCESS REQUIRED BY ANY SUCH COURT SHALL CONSTITUTE VALID AND LAWFUL SERVICE OF PROCESS AGAINST THEM, WITHOUT NECESSITY FOR SERVICE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR RULE OF COURT. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

9.12 Counterparts and Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, physically or digitally including but not limited to DocuSign or Adobe Sign, each of which will constitute an original, and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or Portable Document Format (PDF) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.
