The foregoing calculations shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting detail therefor. In the event Buyer does not deliver the Buyer Closing Statement within such 90-day period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Seller Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein, which shall be conclusive, final and binding on all of the parties for all purposes hereunder (including the determination of the Closing Cash Consideration).

(c) Review; Disputes.

(i) From and after the receipt by the Seller of the Buyer Closing Statement until the last day of the Review Period (as defined below), Buyer shall (x) provide the Seller and any accountants or advisors retained by the Seller with reasonable access (during normal business hours and without interference to the operations of Buyer, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and subject to execution of customary access and confidentiality agreements), upon reasonable advance notice to Buyer, to all books and records of Buyer, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (including the work papers of Buyer and/or its accountants and the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective accountants) in electronic form to the extent relevant to the preparation of the Buyer Closing Statement for the purpose of

(ii) If the Seller disputes the calculation of any components of the Closing Cash Consideration set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement, then the Seller shall deliver a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer at any time during the forty-five (45)-day period commencing upon receipt by the Seller of the Buyer Closing Statement (the “Review Period”). The Dispute Notice shall set forth the basis for the dispute of any such calculation in reasonable detail and Seller’s calculation of each disputed amount.

(iii) If the Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, or otherwise delivers written notice to Buyer that it does not dispute any amounts set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement, Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Cash Consideration and the components thereof shall be deemed final and binding on Buyer and the Seller for all purposes of this Agreement. Any item in the Buyer Closing Statement that is not disputed in a Dispute Notice delivered to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period shall also be deemed final and binding on Buyer and the Seller for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iv) Upon delivery of a Dispute Notice, Buyer and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any objections in such Dispute Notice. Any such efforts and communication in connection therewith, and any dispute that may arise therefrom, shall be deemed negotiations regarding a proposed settlement and shall be governed by the Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 408. If they do not reach a final resolution within forty-five (45) days after the delivery of a Dispute Notice, Buyer and the Seller shall submit any unresolved items contained in such Dispute Notice (and no other items) to one of the accounting or valuation firms set forth on Section 2.5(c)(iv) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided, that, if none of the accounting or valuation firms set forth on Section 2.5(c)(iv) of the Company Disclosure Schedule are willing or able to be retained for such purpose, then Buyer and the Seller shall select a mutually agreed upon independent nationally recognized accounting or valuation firm for submission of such unresolved items contained in such Dispute Notice (the “Valuation Firm”). Any further submissions to the Valuation Firm must be written and delivered to each party to the dispute. The Valuation Firm (acting as an expert and not an arbitrator) shall resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) Business Days following the submission of reports by both Buyer and the Seller concerning such dispute to such Valuation Firm. The Valuation Firm shall address only those items properly disputed in accordance with this Section 2.5 and the Valuation Firm shall make its determination as to any disputed item within the dollar range for such item set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement delivered by Buyer and the Dispute Notice delivered by the Seller. Absent

24

manifest error, the determination of the Valuation Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The fees and expenses of such Valuation Firm incurred in resolving the disputed matter shall be equitably apportioned by the Valuation Firm based on the extent to which Buyer, on the one hand, or the Seller, on the other hand, is determined by the Valuation Firm to be the prevailing party in the resolution of such disputed matters. The Closing Cash Consideration determined pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be referred to herein as the “Final Closing Cash Consideration.”

(d) Post-Closing Adjustment Payments.

(i) If the Final Closing Cash Consideration is greater than the Closing Cash Consideration, (such difference, the “Excess Amount”), then promptly and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Closing Cash Consideration, Buyer shall pay to the Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Seller, the Excess Amount.

(ii) If the Final Closing Cash Consideration is less than the Closing Cash Consideration (the absolute value of such difference, the “Deficit Amount”), then promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Closing Cash Consideration, the Seller shall pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer, the Deficit Amount.

5.9 Debt Financing.

(a) Commitment Letter. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer has delivered to the Company a true, correct, and complete fully executed copy of the commitment letter, dated as of the date of this Agreement, among the financial institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Buyer (including all exhibits, schedules, and annexes thereto and the Fee Letter (redacted in a manner as described below), as amended, modified, supplemented, extended, or replaced from time to time in compliance with this Agreement, the “Commitment Letter”). Pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Commitment Letter, the Lenders have committed to lend the amounts set forth therein (the provision of such funds as set forth therein, the “Debt Financing”) for the purposes set forth in the Commitment Letter. Buyer has also delivered to the Company a true, correct, and complete copy of each fee letter (which may be redacted to remove those items related to specific fee amounts payable on the Closing Date to a Debt Financing Source, “market flex” terms, pricing caps, and other similar economic and pricing terms so long as any provisions so redacted would not reduce the amount of the Debt Financing below the Required Amount or adversely affect the conditionality or availability of the Debt Financing) issued in connection with the Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Fee Letter”).

(b) No Amendments; No Side Letters. The Commitment Letter has not been amended, restated, or otherwise modified prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (other than, in each case, amendments or modifications to add lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers, or other Debt Financing Sources in the manner contemplated by the Commitment Letter). The respective commitments contained in the Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, terminated, or rescinded prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (and to the Knowledge of Buyer, no such withdrawal, termination or rescission is pending). As of the date of this Agreement, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any agreement, side letter or other arrangement relating to the Debt Financing, other than as set forth in the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter.

66

(c) Enforceability. As of the date of this Agreement, the Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Buyer, to the Knowledge of Buyer, and the other parties thereto to provide the financing contemplated thereby subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Conditions, enforceable in accordance with its terms against Buyer and, to the Knowledge of Buyer, each of the other parties thereto, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.

(d) No Breaches or Defaults. As of the date of this Agreement: (i) no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a material breach or material default, or result in a failure to satisfy a condition precedent, in each case, on the part of Buyer, under any term or condition of the Commitment Letter; and (ii) assuming the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2, Buyer does not have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the funding of the Debt Financing will not be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date or that any portion of the Debt Financing will not be available to Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date. Buyer has fully paid or caused to be fully paid all commitment fees or other fees to the extent required to be paid on or prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with the Debt Financing.

(e) Sufficiency of Financing. There are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the Debt Financing, other than the Financing Conditions. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III, and that the Debt Financing is funded in accordance with the Commitment Letter, the net proceeds of the Debt Financing (both before and after giving effect to the exercise of any or all applicable “market flex” provisions), together with any cash on hand available to Buyer at the Closing, will, in the aggregate, be sufficient for the payment of (i) the aggregate Closing Cash Consideration, (ii) any fees and expenses expressly required to be paid by Buyer in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing, and (iii) all other amounts expressly required to be paid by Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date under this Agreement (collectively, the “Required Amount”).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as may be necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Regulatory Laws so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event no later than the Outside Date) including by using reasonable best efforts to propose, negotiate, commit to and effect, by agreement, consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise (x) the sale, divestiture or disposition of such assets, businesses, services, products or product lines of the Company (or behavioral limitations, conduct restrictions or commitments with respect to any such assets, businesses, services, products or product lines of the Company), (y) the creation or termination of relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations of the Company and (z) any other actions that after the Closing would limit the freedom of Buyer (or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates) with respect to the Company’s assets, businesses, services, products or product lines, in each case as may be required under or in connection with Regulatory Laws in order to obtain all Required Regulatory Approvals (including expirations or terminations of waiting periods whether imposed by Law or agreement) and to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Outside Date; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not be required to take, or cause to be taken, any action that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries), taken as a whole. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, without Buyer’s prior written consent discuss or commit to any extension of any waiting period under any Law or to any agreement not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If reasonably requested by Buyer, the Company shall take any action or make any agreement required by any Governmental Entity under any Regulatory Law; provided, that any such action or agreement is conditioned on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall not take any action, make any agreement, or make any offer to take action or make any agreement, required by any Governmental Entity under any Regulatory Law without the prior written consent of Buyer. Further, the parties shall defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed.

(e) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the Closing and (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX, none of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries will acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, by purchasing a portion of the assets of or equity in, or by acquiring in any other manner, any business of any Person or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets or equity interests, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such transaction would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Transactions, including by (i) imposing any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increasing the risk of not obtaining, any consent of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the Transactions or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) materially increasing the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions; or (iii) materially increasing the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise.

77

7.2 Access to Information.

(a) Prior to the Closing, upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws, the Seller and the Company shall, and shall cause any Company Subsidiary to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and other representatives (collectively, the “Applicable Representatives”) of Buyer and its affiliates, reasonable access during normal business hours to all its and its Subsidiaries’ properties, Contracts, personnel, books and records, and the Seller and the Company shall, and shall cause any Company Subsidiary to, furnish as promptly as reasonably practicable to Buyer and its Applicable Representatives all information (financial or otherwise) concerning its business, properties, Contracts, personnel, books and records as Buyer may reasonably request (including without limitation information for purposes of transition and integration planning and conducting due diligence) for purposes of consummating the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller and the Company shall, and shall cause any Company Subsidiary to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Buyer the financial statements, reports and other items required to be provided to the Company’s lenders under Section 5.1 and Schedule 5.1 of the Company Credit Agreement within the time periods specified thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller and the Company shall not be required by this Section 7.2 to provide Buyer or Buyer’s Applicable Representatives with access to or to disclose information (i) that is prohibited from being disclosed pursuant to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party entered into prior to the date hereof (provided, however, that the Seller and the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure or, if unable to do so, to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable access or disclosure not in violation of such consent requirement), (ii) the disclosure of which would violate applicable Law (provided, however, that the Seller and the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure not in violation of such Law) or (iii) the disclosure of which would cause the loss of any attorney client, attorney work product or other legal privilege (provided, however, that the Seller and the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to allow for such disclosure to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of such attorney client, attorney work product or other legal privilege); provided, further, that such access and information shall be disclosed or granted, as applicable, to counsel for Buyer to the extent reasonably required for the purpose of obtaining required approvals or consents, or making filings or providing notices, subject to prior execution of a common interest or joint defense agreement in customary form.

(b) Buyer shall hold all information furnished by or on behalf of the Seller, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.2(a) in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of that certain Nondisclosure Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2025, among Buyer, the Company and AMD (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

78

(c) No investigation by Buyer or its Applicable Representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive the representations and warranties set forth herein. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give any party, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the other party prior to the Closing.

(d) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall reasonably promptly deliver to Buyer a copy of each Servicer’s Report, Repurchase Notice, and Notice of Assignment and Irrevocable Payment Instruction delivered or received under the PNC Factoring Agreement (capitalized terms used and not defined in this Section 7.2(d) have the meanings assigned thereto in the PNC Factoring Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver any Servicer’s Report, Repurchase Notice, and Notice of Assignment and Irrevocable Payment Instruction, whether in whole or in part, shall not be a failure to satisfy any condition to Closing pursuant to Section 8.2.

(e) For a period of seven (7) years following the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to retain all books, records and other documents pertaining to the Business in existence on the Closing Date that are required to be retained under current retention policies and to provide the Seller and its Applicable Representatives with reasonable access to the same (for the purpose of examining and copying at its expense, during normal business hours, upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice; provided, however, that (a) any such access shall be subject to Buyer’s and the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and conducted in a manner not to unreasonably interfere with the businesses or operations of Buyer, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, (b) Buyer, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall not be required to disclose any information to the Seller or its Applicable Representatives if doing so would reasonably be expected to violate any Law to which Buyer, the Company or such Company Subsidiary is subject but Buyer, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall take reasonable steps to provide such information if requested by the Seller and (c) nothing in this Section 7.2(e) shall require Buyer, the Company or any Company Subsidiary to furnish to the Seller or its Applicable Representatives or provide the Seller or its Applicable Representatives with access to information that is subject to attorney-client privilege but Buyer, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall take reasonable steps to provide such information if requested by the Seller.

7.3 Confidentiality.

(a) Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate.

(b) For a period of seven (7) years following the Closing, the Seller agrees, for itself and its Affiliates and their respective Applicable Representatives, that it and its Affiliates and their respective Applicable Representatives, shall treat as strictly confidential and shall not disclose any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of Buyer, except (i) to Applicable Representatives with a bona fide need to know such information (provided, that such Persons are informed of the confidentiality restrictions contained herein and directed to comply with such restrictions) or (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable Law (subject to compliance with Section 7.3(c)).

79

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.3(b), the Seller may disclose Confidential Information solely to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable Law or stock exchange rules or regulations, provided, that the Seller shall (i) give Buyer prompt prior written notice of such requirement and (ii) if requested by Buyer and at Buyer’s expense, use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or to assist Buyer in seeking to obtain, confidential treatment or a protective order for such information. In the event that a protective order or confidential treatment is not obtained, the Seller may furnish only that portion of such information, knowledge or data which it is legally required to disclose, provided, further, that, to the extent legally permitted, the Seller will give Buyer written notice of the information, knowledge and data to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as reasonably practicable and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.

7.4 Employee Matters.

(a) Effective as of the Closing and during the one (1)-year period immediately following the Closing, Buyer shall provide, or shall cause the Company or a Company Subsidiary to provide, to each Company Employee that continues to be employed by Buyer or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries following the Closing (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”), (i) base compensation and cash incentive compensation opportunities, the aggregate value of which is no less favorable than the aggregate value of the base compensation and cash incentive compensation opportunities that were provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company or a Company Subsidiary immediately before the Closing (provided that in no event shall dividend equivalent payments made by the Company be deemed cash incentives), (ii) employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate to those provided to the Continuing Employee by the Company or a Company Subsidiary immediately before the Closing and (iii) equity, or, in lieu thereof, additional cash, incentive opportunities and eligibility for severance benefits that are, in each case, no less favorable than the equity incentive opportunities (valued in accordance with Buyer’s standard policy) and eligibility for severance benefits that are provided by Buyer or its Subsidiaries to similarly situated employees of Buyer or its Subsidiaries.

(b) Following the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any employee benefit or compensation plans sponsored or maintained by Buyer or the Company or their Subsidiaries in which the Continuing Employees are eligible to participate following the Closing Date (collectively, the “Post-Closing Plans”) to recognize the service of each Continuing Employee with the Company or any Company Subsidiary (and any predecessor thereto) prior to the Closing Date for all purposes under such Post-Closing Plans; provided, that such recognition of service shall not apply in respect of any equity compensation, to the extent it would result

80

in duplication of benefits or for purposes of benefit accrual under any Post-Closing Plan that is a defined benefit retirement plan. With respect to any Post-Closing Plan that provides medical, dental or vision insurance benefits, for the plan year in which such Continuing Employee is first eligible to participate, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause any preexisting condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such plan to be waived with respect to such Continuing Employee to the extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the Company Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) credit each Continuing Employee for any co-payments or deductibles incurred by such Continuing Employee in such plan year for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such Post-Closing Plan. Such credited expenses shall also count toward any annual or lifetime limits, treatment or visit limits or similar limitations that apply under the terms of the applicable plan.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ or service of Company, Buyer or any affiliate of Company or Buyer, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Company, Buyer or any affiliate of Company or Buyer, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 7.4 shall (i) be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any Company Employee Plan or employee benefit plan of Buyer, or (ii) create any third party rights in any current or former employee or other service provider of the Company or its affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

(d) At the request of Buyer given in writing at least fifteen Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall adopt written resolutions to terminate any and all Company Employee Plans requested by Buyer to be terminated, effective no later than the Business Day prior to the Closing Date. Prior to the execution of such written resolutions, the Company shall provide Buyer with unexecuted drafts of such written resolutions for Buyer’s review, comment and approval.

(e) For a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit for employment any management-level Company Employee, or (ii) induce or encourage any management-level Company Employee to leave the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates, unless such employee has (x) been terminated by the Company or any Company Subsidiary subsequent to the Closing or (y) voluntarily terminated such employee’s own employment with the Company or any Company Subsidiary subsequent to the Closing, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), and such termination occurred at least six (6) months prior to such solicitation, inducement or encouragement; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 7.4(e) shall prohibit (1) Seller or its Affiliates from soliciting any such employees through general solicitations or advertisements so long as such solicitations and advertisements are not specifically directed at Company Employees or (2) employee-initiated inquiries or applications submitted to the Seller or its Affiliates by any such management-level Company Employee whose employment with the Company or any Company Subsidiary was terminated at least six (6) months prior to such inquiry or

81

application. For a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) hire, engage or solicit for employment or engagement any individual set forth in Section 7.4(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, or (ii) induce or encourage any such individual to leave the employ or engagement of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(f) For a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit for employment any individual who (a) was a management-level employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Restructuring, (b) became a management-level employee of the Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) as a result of the Restructuring and (c) is not a Company Employee, or (ii) induce or encourage any such individual to leave the employ of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, unless such employee has (x) been terminated by the Seller or any of its Affiliates subsequent to the Closing or (y) voluntarily terminated such employee’s own employment with the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller subsequent to the Closing, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), and such termination occurred at least six (6) months prior to such solicitation, inducement or encouragement; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 7.4(f) shall prohibit (1) Buyer or its Subsidiaries from soliciting any such individuals through general solicitations or advertisements so long as such solicitations and advertisements are not specifically directed at such individuals or (2) employee-initiated inquiries or applications submitted to Buyer or its Affiliates by any such individual whose employment with the Seller or its Affiliates was terminated at least six (6) months prior to such inquiry or application. For a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) hire, engage or solicit for employment or engagement any individual set forth in Section 7.4(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, or (ii) induce or encourage any such individual to leave the employ or engagement of the Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(g) The Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to, contingent upon the occurrence of, and effective as of, the Closing, cause AMD and the Continuing Employees set forth in Section 7.4(g)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule to acknowledge in writing that the terms set forth in the offer letters between AMD and such Continuing Employees (the “Offer Letters”) shall govern the terms of their continued employment with the Company following the Closing (except for any terms deemed inoperable by virtue of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), with such acknowledgement including that any references to AMD that are meant to control following the Closing shall reference either the Company or the Buyer as applicable, including references to compliance with policies of the Company and Buyer and relevant defined terms referencing AMD. Buyer hereby acknowledges the terms of the Offer Letters, and, subject to the Seller taking the actions contemplated by Section 7.4(g)(i), agrees to honor the terms and conditions of the Offer Letters effective as of the Closing. Other than as permitted by Section 6.2(l) and this Section 7.4(g), AMD shall not amend, modify or terminate the Offer Letters, the Employee Acknowledgments (or the underlying agreements) or, to the extent executed, any acknowledgments referred to in this clause (g), in each case, without the prior written consent of Buyer.

82

7.5 Indemnification. From and after the Closing until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Company to honor all rights to indemnification existing in favor of the directors and officers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) as currently provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or in other indemnification agreements, employment agreement or similar Contracts (to the extent disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule and copies have been made available to Buyer) between the Company or a Company Subsidiary, on the one hand, and a Company Indemnified Party, on the other hand, as currently in effect as of the date of this Agreement, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing shall be subject to any limitation imposed by applicable Law.

7.6 Acquisition Proposals. The Seller agrees that it will not, and that it will cause the Company and each of their affiliates and Applicable Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate inquiries or proposals with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage or participate in any negotiations with any Person concerning any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) enter into any Contract relating to any Acquisition Proposal, (iv) approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or (v) provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have or participate in any discussions with, any Person relating to any Acquisition Proposal. The Seller agrees to, and to cause the Company and each of their affiliates and Applicable Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any Person other than Buyer with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Seller will promptly (within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Buyer following receipt by the Seller, the Company or any of their affiliates or Applicable Representatives of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiaries by any Person that informs the Seller, the Company or any of their affiliates or Applicable Representatives that such Person is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry from any Person seeking to have discussions or negotiations with the Seller, the Company or any of their affiliates or Applicable Representatives relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall be made orally and confirmed in writing and shall indicate the identity of the Person making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request and the material terms and conditions thereof. The Seller shall be bound by its obligations described in the first sentence of this Section 7.6 with regard to any such proposals, offers, discussions or negotiations and shall promptly inform Buyer of any amendments to or revisions of the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal. The Seller shall, and shall cause the Company and their affiliates and Applicable Representatives to, use their reasonable efforts to enforce any existing confidentiality or standstill agreements to which the Seller, the Company or any of their affiliates and Applicable Representatives is a party in accordance with the terms thereof.

83

7.7 Public Announcements. Prior to the Closing, the parties to this Agreement shall not, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates and Applicable Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, issue any press release or other public statement relating to this Agreement, the terms hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby or use the other parties’ or their respective affiliates’ name or refer to the other parties’ or their respective Affiliates directly or indirectly in any media interview, advertisement, news release, press release or professional or trade publication, or in any print media, whether or not in response to an inquiry, without the prior written approval of the other parties; provided, that each party and its Applicable Representatives may, without prior written approval of the other parties, make statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Closing, that are consistent with (and do not otherwise include or refer to any terms or conditions that are not otherwise contained in) public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Closing, that have previously been made or approved by the other parties. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, each party shall in all events be permitted to make any public announcement required by applicable Law; provided, that the party making such disclosure shall, to the extent practicable, provide an opportunity to the other parties to review and comment upon such public announcement and shall consider any such reasonable comments in good faith.

7.8 Director and Officer Resignations.

7.9 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns.

(i) The taxable year of the Company and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Company Subsidiary, that includes the Closing Date shall close at the end of the day on the Closing Date for all income Tax purposes, and all income Tax Returns shall be filed consistently with the foregoing.

(ii) The parties agree that any deduction from taxable income of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be allocable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods to the extent that such deduction is in fact legally deductible during the Pre-Closing Tax Period under applicable Law, and the parties shall cause their Affiliates to treat such deductions as arising in Pre-Closing Tax Periods for purposes of this Agreement and for all income Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

84

(iii) For all applicable Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause the Company to join in any Combined Tax Returns to the extent permissible under applicable Law, and the Seller shall pay, and be responsible for, any Taxes attributable to the Company with respect to such Tax Returns.

(iv) Other than the Tax Returns described in Section 7.9(a)(iii), Buyer shall (i) prepare, or cause to be prepared, any Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries filed after the Closing Date and (ii) pay, and be responsible for, all Taxes with respect to such Tax Returns; provided that, Buyer shall (x) deliver, or cause to be delivered, a copy of any such Tax Returns that report any Taxes in respect of the Restructuring to the Seller at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is required to be filed (taking into consideration applicable extensions) for the Seller’s review and comment, and shall make any reasonable comments provided by the Seller within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof and (y) not file any Tax Return referenced in clause (x) above without the prior written consent of the Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Determination of Closing Indebtedness and Closing Net Working Capital. For purposes of determining Tax liabilities and assets reflected in the calculation of Closing Indebtedness, Pre-Closing Non-Combined Income Taxes and Closing Net Working Capital with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any Tax that is allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be (i) in the case of any property or other similar Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period, (ii) determined as though the taxable period of the Company or any Company Subsidiary terminated as of the end of the Closing Date for purposes of recognizing any income pursuant to Section 951 or Section 951A of the Code and (iii) in the case of all other Taxes, determined as though the taxable period of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries terminated as of the close of business on the day prior to the Closing Date, except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a per diem basis, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(c) Cooperation in Tax Matters. Buyer, the Seller and the Company agree to furnish, or cause to be furnished, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to Taxes, including in connection with the filing of Tax Returns by the Seller, Buyer, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, preparation for or the conduct of any action or other proceeding with respect to Taxes (including a Tax Proceeding with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary) or the making of any election related to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such action or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be required to provide any Tax Returns or related books and records and information with respect to Taxes of the Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates (expect to the extent solely and exclusively related to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries).

85

(d) Buyer Covenants. Buyer shall not permit or cause the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to enter into any transaction on the Closing Date not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement that is outside the ordinary course of business or make or change any Tax election (including any election under Section 336 or 338 of the Code, or any corresponding provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) with respect to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries that would be effective for any Pre-Closing Tax Period without the Seller’s prior written consent. The determination of Closing Indebtedness and Closing Net Working Capital shall not take into account the effect of any of following actions that Buyer or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries) take after Closing: (a) except as contemplated by Section 7.9(a)(iv), amending, filing or re-filing any Tax Return of or including the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (b) extending or waiving, or causing to be extended or waived, or permitting the Company or any Company Subsidiary to extend or waive, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (c) engaging in any voluntary disclosure or similar process or initiating communications with any Tax authority with respect to Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(e) Tax Claims. Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller upon its receipt of notice of any audit, examination, inquiry, assessment, claim for refund, lawsuit, action, claim, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding at law or in equity by or before a Tax authority with respect to Taxes relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary (each a “Tax Claim”) with respect to any matters governed by Section 7.9(k) of this Agreement (including any Combined Taxes or a Combined Tax Return), provided that failure by Buyer to give such notice shall not affect the obligations of Seller or the rights and remedies of Buyer, unless Seller is materially prejudiced by such failure. All Tax Claims with respect to Combined Taxes or a Combined Tax Return shall be controlled by the Seller in its sole discretion, and Buyer shall not have any participation, consent or other rights with respect thereto. For all other Tax Claims that could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification obligation under Section 7.9(k)(ii) of this Agreement, Buyer shall control the conduct of such Tax Claim; provided, however, that Buyer shall (i) keep Seller fully informed (or cause Seller to be fully informed) of the progress of such Tax Claim, (ii) reasonably consult with Seller with respect to any such Tax Claim and consider in good faith comments received from Seller with respect thereto, (iii) allow Seller to participate in such Tax Claim at Seller’s cost and expense, and (iv) not settle or compromise any such Tax Claim without prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

86

(f) Refunds. The Seller shall be entitled to the amount of any refund or credit with respect to any Combined Tax Return to the extent that such refund was not included as a tax asset in the final calculation of Net Working Capital. Buyer will promptly deliver any refund arising from Pre-Closing Non-Combined Income Taxes to Seller as and when any such amounts are received by Buyer (i) to the extent such refunds are for (A) the taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date or (B) any preceding taxable period if a Tax Return for the applicable income Tax for such taxable period has not yet become due (taking into account applicable extensions) as of the Closing Date and (ii) to the extent such refund was not (A) reflected as an asset in the final calculating of Closing Net Working Capital and (B) did not result from the carryback of a loss or deduction not arising in a Pre-Closing Tax Period net of any reasonable, out-of-pocket fees or expenses (including Taxes) incurred by Buyer or any of its Affiliates as a result of the receipt of any such Tax refund. To the extent such refund described in the immediately preceding sentence is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Governmental Entity, the Seller shall promptly repay the amount of such disallowed refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Governmental Entity to Buyer.

(g) Transfer Taxes.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer will not (without the prior written consent of the Company) consent or agree to any amendment, replacement, supplement, or modification of, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letter if such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification, or waiver would: (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the net proceeds of the Debt Financing such that the aggregate amount of such Debt Financing, cash on hand and other sources of immediately available funds available to Buyer at the Closing (including any amounts (if any) of the Debt Financing and/or Take-Out Financings funded into escrow) would not be sufficient to pay the Required Amounts; (ii) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend, or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) prevent, materially impair, materially impede or materially delay the Closing, or (B) make the timely funding of the Debt Financing, or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing, materially less likely to occur; or (iii) adversely impact the ability of Buyer to exercise its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing definitive agreements; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may (without the consent of the Company) amend,

91

replace, supplement, modify, or waive the Commitment Letter (1) in accordance with the “market flex” provisions thereof, and (2) to add lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers, or other Debt Financing Sources that have not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof as provided for therein.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right of Buyer to amend, replace, supplement, modify, or waive the Commitment Letter subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.15(a)), Buyer agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, and advisable to arrange, maintain the effectiveness of, and consummate the Debt Financing on or prior to the Closing Date, on the terms and conditions (including, to the extent required, the full exercise of any “market flex” provision) described in the Commitment Letter, including to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof and hereof until the earlier of the consummation of the financing contemplated thereby and the termination of this Agreement; provided, that, Buyer may replace or amend the Commitment Letter as expressly set forth herein; (ii) negotiate, execute, and deliver definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter on a timely basis on the terms and conditions (including any “market flex” provisions) contemplated by the Commitment Letter; provided, that, such other terms (A) do not contain any conditions precedent to the initial funding of the Debt Financing that are materially more onerous than the Financing Conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, and (B) do not contain any terms that could not reasonably be expected to delay, impair, impede or prevent the consummation of the Closing or could not adversely impact or delay in any material respect the ability of Buyer to consummate the Equity Purchase or the Debt Financing; (iii) satisfy (or obtain waivers of), on a timely basis, all conditions contained in the Commitment Letter that are within its control and to comply with all of its obligations pursuant to the Commitment Letter; (iv) upon the satisfaction (or waiver) of all of the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing; and (v) exercise its rights under the Commitment Letter in the event of a Debt Financing Failure Event which the Buyer determines to not be in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter, except to the extent Buyer is then using all commercially reasonable efforts to seek Alternative Financing as set forth in Section 7.15(d) hereunder. Buyer will fully pay, or cause to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees arising pursuant to the Commitment Letter as and when they become due.

92

(c) Information. Upon the Company’s request, Buyer shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (including providing the Company, upon reasonable request, with copies of all definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing), and such other information and documentation available to Buyer as shall be reasonably requested by the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall promptly notify the Company in writing of (i) any material breach, material default, termination, or cancellation by any party to the Commitment Letter or Debt Financing definitive agreements that Buyer becomes aware of; and (ii) the receipt by Buyer of any written notice from any Debt Financing Source with respect to (A) any breach, default, termination, or cancellation by any party to the Commitment Letter or Debt Financing definitive agreements, or (B) any material dispute or material disagreement between or among any parties to the Commitment Letter or Debt Financing definitive agreements.

Buyer shall promptly provide the Company with a correct and complete copy of any New Commitment Letter, together with any exhibits, schedules, and annexes thereto, and a correct and complete copy of any fee letter in connection therewith (which fee letter may be redacted as to fee amounts, pricing caps, “market flex” terms, and other similar economic and pricing terms so long as such redactions would not reduce the amount of the Debt Financing below the Required Amount or adversely affect the conditionality or availability of the Debt Financing). In the event that any New Commitment Letter is obtained, (1) any reference in this Agreement to the “Commitment Letter” or the “Fee Letter” shall mean the Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, as the case may be, to the extent not superseded by one or more New Commitment Letters (or any related fee letter(s)) at the time in question, and any New Commitment Letter (and any related fee letter(s)) to the extent then in effect, and (2) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” will mean the Debt Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter as modified pursuant to the foregoing.

(e) No Financing Condition.

The Buyer Stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred other than pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement with respect thereto under the Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws at such time or (ii) an exemption from such registration exists. The Buyer Stock issued hereunder will be noted with respect to such restrictions.

98

(b) The Seller irrevocably agrees that, from the date hereof until three (3) years after the Closing Date (such period, the “Restriction Period”), the Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller or any person in privity with the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller), directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to, any shares of Buyer Stock issued as Closing Stock Consideration or any securities issued in respect of such shares as a stock dividend, stock split or recapitalization or otherwise in respect of such shares (the “Securities”); provided that (x) from and after the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the foregoing restrictions in this clause (b) shall not apply to one third (1/3) of the Securities and (y) from and after the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the foregoing restrictions in this clause (b) shall not apply to two thirds (2/3) of the Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the Seller may transfer the Securities to an Affiliate of the Seller provided that as a condition to such transfer, (i) Buyer receives a signed lock-up letter agreement (with the same terms as set forth in this Section 7.20(b)) for the balance of the Restriction Period from such Affiliate, (ii) such transfer is not required to be reported during the Restriction Period with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the Exchange Act and (iii) no report of such transfer shall be made voluntarily during the Restriction Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restrictions on transfer shall not apply in respect of any Buyer Stock purchased in open market transactions after the Closing Date. The Seller acknowledges that the execution, delivery and performance of the foregoing restrictions on transfer is a material inducement to Buyer to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of the Seller’s obligations hereunder.

(c) In connection with a sale of the Securities following the expiration of any applicable lock-up restrictions, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend with respect to the transfer or sale of such Securities under the Securities Act, and to the extent required by the transfer agent, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver (or cause its counsel to deliver) an opinion advising the transfer agent that it is permissible to remove the restrictive legends with respect to transfer or sale of the Securities under the Securities Act, provided that (i) Rule 144 or another exemption is then available with respect to such transfer or sale, and (ii) the Seller and any applicable broker has provided all certifications and authorizations reasonably requested by Buyer or its counsel to support such opinion.

7.21 NASDAQ Listing. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall have submitted a listing of additional shares notification form, if required, in respect of the shares of Buyer Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with NASDAQ’s rules and shall not have received an objection thereto from NASDAQ, and no further action shall be required to authorize the listing of such shares of Buyer Stock.

99

7.22 Other Agreements.

(a) AMD hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that: (i) it has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which it is or will be a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which AMD is or will be a party and the performance by AMD of its obligations hereunder and thereunder (including the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby) have been (or with respect to the Transaction Documents to which AMD is or will be a party, will be at or prior to the Closing) duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of AMD, and no other action, approval, or proceeding (including by its equity holders, if applicable) on the part of AMD is necessary to authorize or enter into this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which AMD is or will be a party or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; and (iii) this Agreement has been, and each of the Transaction Documents to which AMD is or will be a party is or will be at or prior to the Closing, duly executed and delivered by AMD and constitutes, or will constitute when executed, as applicable, valid, legal and binding obligations of AMD in each case (assuming that this Agreement has been, and each of the Transaction Documents to which AMD is or will be a party will be, duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the other Persons party thereto at or prior to the Closing), enforceable against AMD in accordance with each of their respective terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.

(b) Following the Closing, AMD will take the actions set forth in Exhibit H.

TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

9.1 Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(i) by mutual written consent of Buyer and the Company;

(ii) by the Company, in the event that (1) Buyer shall have breached, failed to perform or violated its covenants or agreements under this Agreement or (2) any of the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall be or shall have become inaccurate, and in either case of clause (1) or clause (2) where such breach, failure to perform, violation or inaccuracy (I) would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) to be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time, (II) has not been waived by the Company and (III) is not capable of being cured by the Outside Date or, if capable of being cured by the Outside Date, is not cured by Buyer before the earlier of (x) the Business Day immediately prior to the Outside Date and (y) the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following receipt by Buyer of written notice from the Company of such breach, failure to perform, violation or inaccuracy; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(a)(ii) shall not be available to the Company if the failure to be true and correct at such time of any representation or warranty made by the Company or the Seller in this Agreement, or the breach, failure to perform or violation of the Company’s or the Seller’s covenants or agreements under this Agreement, would cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) to not be satisfied at such time;

(iii) by Buyer, in the event that (1) the Company or the Seller shall have breached, failed to perform or violated its covenants or agreements under this Agreement or (2) any of the representations and warranties of the Company or the Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be or shall have become inaccurate, in either case of clause (1) or clause (2) where such breach, failure to

103

perform, violation or inaccuracy (I) would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) to be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time and (II) is not capable of being cured by the Outside Date or, if capable of being cured by the Outside Date, is not cured by the Seller before the earlier of (x) the Business Day immediately prior to the Outside Date and (y) the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following receipt of written notice from Buyer of such breach, failure to perform, violation or inaccuracy; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(a)(iii) shall not be available to Buyer if the failure to be true and correct at such time of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, or the breach, failure to perform or violation of Buyer’s covenants or agreements under this Agreement, would cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) to not be satisfied at such time;

(iv) by either Buyer or the Company, in the event that the Closing has not occurred on or before May 18, 2026 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that if the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) (but in the case of Section 8.1(b), solely with respect to a Restraint or Law in respect of Regulatory Laws) has not been satisfied or waived on or prior to the close of business on the Outside Date but all other conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, so long as such conditions are reasonably capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur on the Outside Date) or waived, the Outside Date will be automatically extended, without any action on the part of any party hereto, to August 18, 2026, and, if so extended, such date shall be the “Outside Date”; provided, further, if the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) (but in the case of Section 8.1(b), solely with respect to a Restraint or Law in respect of Regulatory Laws) has not been satisfied or waived on or prior to the close of business on the Outside Date (as extended pursuant to the foregoing proviso) but all other conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, so long as such conditions are reasonably capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur on the Outside Date) or waived, the Outside Date will be automatically extended, without any action on the part of any party hereto, to November 18, 2026, and, if so extended, such date shall be the “Outside Date”; provided, further, that if the satisfaction of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature only can be satisfied at the Closing) occurs less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Outside Date, the Outside Date shall be deemed extended to no later than five (5) Business Days after the Outside Date to the extent necessary to permit the Closing to occur; provided, further, that if the Quarter Close Date applies in accordance with Section 2.2 and the Outside Date (as extended in accordance with any of the foregoing) occurs during the applicable last 15 calendar days of the applicable fiscal quarter of Buyer, then the Outside Date shall be deemed extended to the Quarter Close Date; provided, further, that if the Marketing Close Date applies in accordance with Section 2.2

104

and the Outside Date (as extended in accordance with any of the foregoing) occurs during the applicable Marketing Period, then the Outside Date shall be deemed extended to the Marketing Close Date; provided, further, the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(a)(iv) shall not be available to any party whose material breach (including, in the case of the Company, a material breach by Seller) of any of its obligations under this Agreement is the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to occur by the Outside Date;

(v) by either the Company or Buyer if any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction has enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any final non-appealable Restraint or Law permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Closing or the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(a)(v) shall not be available to any party that has materially breached (including, in the case of the Company, a material breach by Seller) its obligations under Section 7.1, whereby such breach was the primary cause of such Restraint or Law being enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered; or

(b) The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.1(a)(ii) through 9.1(a)(v) shall give written notice of such termination to the other party in accordance with Section 10.3, specifying the provision or provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is to be effected.

9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of valid termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of the parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, affiliates or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any Liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that (i) the Confidentiality Agreement, this Article IX and Article X, as well as any defined terms used in such sections, shall survive any valid termination of this Agreement, and (ii) no party shall be relieved or released from any Liabilities or damages arising out of Fraud or its willful and material breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement occurring prior to termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful and material breach” shall mean a deliberate action taken or deliberate failure to act that the breaching party intentionally takes (or intentionally fails to take), which act or failure to act constitutes in and of itself a material breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement, and in each case the breaching party actually knows that such action or inaction would be or would result in a material breach of a covenant or specific provision of this Agreement.

9.3 Termination Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(iv) or Section 9.1(a)(v), and, as of the time of such termination, the only conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII that have not been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, so long as such conditions would reasonably have been capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur on the date the notice of termination is delivered) are those set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) (but in the case of Section 8.1(b), solely with respect to a Restraint or Law in respect of an Antitrust Law), then, within five (5) Business Days following such termination, Buyer shall cause to be paid to the Company the Termination Fee.

105

(b) Any Termination Fee due and payable by Buyer under this Section 9.3 shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Termination Fee, as applicable, shall be payable by Buyer only once and not in duplication even though a termination fee may be payable by Buyer under one or more provisions hereof.

(c) To the extent Buyer fails to pay (or fails to cause to be paid) to the Company the Termination Fee when due in accordance with this Section 9.3 and the Company initiates a Proceeding against Buyer to recover such Termination Fee, if such Proceeding results in a judgment in favor of the Company for the payment of the Termination Fee, Buyer shall pay to the Company: (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement (including with respect to such Proceeding) and (ii) interest on the unpaid Termination Fee from the date due under Section 9.3(a) until the date of payment at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing daily.

(d) The parties agree that if the Termination Fee becomes payable by, and is paid by, Buyer, then such Termination Fee shall be the Company’s and Seller’s and their respective Affiliates’ sole and exclusive remedy for damages against Buyer, the Debt Financing Parties and their respective Affiliates and Applicable Representatives in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the financing commitments (and the termination thereof) thereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matter forming the basis of such termination and in no event will the Company, the Seller or any other person seek to recover any other money damages or seek any other remedy based on a claim in law or equity for any reason in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the financing commitments (and the termination thereof) thereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matter forming the basis of such termination; provided, that nothing contained herein shall relieve Buyer from liability for Fraud or for any willful and material breach; provided, that none of the Debt Financing Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination upon payment of such amount.

(e) Each of the parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements the parties would not enter into this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Amendment.

(a) This Agreement may be amended or modified by Buyer and the Seller. This Agreement (including the provisions of this Section 10.1(a)) may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all of the parties required pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(b) At any time and from time to time, either the Company, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, may, except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of (in the case of the Company) Buyer and (in the case of Buyer) the Seller and the Company, as applicable, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made by (in the case of the Company) Buyer and (in the case of Buyer) the Seller and the Company contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for their respective benefit contained herein. Any agreement to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Buyer or the Company, as applicable. Waivers shall operate to waive only the specific matter described in the writing (and for the specific party waiving such matter and, in the case of a waiver by the Company, the Seller) and shall not impair the rights of the party granting the waiver in other respects or at other times. A party’s waiver of a breach of a provision of this Agreement, or failure (on one or more occasions) to enforce a provision of, or to exercise a right under, this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of a similar breach, or of such provision or right other than as explicitly waived. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right hereunder, or any other course of dealing shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Lender Protective Provisions may be amended, altered, waived or modified in a manner that is adverse to any Debt Financing Party without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources.

10.2 Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expense.

10.4 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Schedule, Exhibit or Section, such reference shall be to an Article, Schedule, Exhibit or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The word “extent” and the phrase “to the extent” when used in this Agreement shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such word or phrase shall not merely

108

mean “if.” The term “or” is not exclusive. The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof,” “of even date herewith” and terms of similar import, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the preamble to this Agreement. The phrases “delivered” and “made available,” when used with respect to any document, agreement or information provided by the Company or the Seller shall mean that such document, agreement or information has been posted to the electronic data room captioned “Zephyr” hosted by Datasite, at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the date hereof and is available and visible to Buyer and its Applicable Representatives and not removed on or prior to the date of this Agreement. The table of contents and headings set forth in this Agreement or any schedule delivered pursuant to this Agreement (other than the Company Disclosure Schedule) are for convenience of reference purposes only and shall not affect or be deemed to affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or such schedule or any term or provision hereof or thereof. All references herein to the Subsidiaries of a Person shall be deemed to include all direct and indirect Subsidiaries of such Person unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires. The parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. No prior draft of this Agreement nor any course of performance or course of dealing shall be used in the interpretation or construction of this Agreement. No parol evidence shall be introduced in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement unless the ambiguity or uncertainty in issue is plainly discernable from a reading of this Agreement without consideration of any extrinsic evidence. Although the same or similar subject matters may be addressed in different provisions of this Agreement, the parties intend that, except as reasonably apparent on the face of the Agreement or as expressly provided in this Agreement, each such provision shall be read separately, be given independent significance and not be construed as limiting any other provision of this Agreement (whether or not more general or more specific in scope, substance or content). References to “dollar,” “dollars” or “$” shall be to the lawful currency of the United States. All references to the “ordinary course of business” and similar terms shall mean the ordinary course of business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, consistent with past custom and practice. When a reference is made to Law, such reference means any such Law as amended, modified, codified or reenacted, in whole or in part, and in effect from time to time, including rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

10.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE DEBT FINANCING OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIM AGAINST ANY DEBT FINANCING PARTY). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.5.

109

10.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic means), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission (including in.pdf format or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

10.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Transaction Documents and the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein), together with and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof (except that the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed amended hereby so that until the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, Buyer shall be permitted to take the actions expressly contemplated by this Agreement).

10.8 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement, and all claims, causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) or other matter that may directly or indirectly result from, arise out of, be in connection with or relating to this Agreement or the other agreements delivered in connection herewith, or the execution or performance of this Agreement or such other agreements, or the Closing or the other transactions contemplated hereby (the “Relevant Matters”) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the Law of any other state.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court lacks jurisdiction, the Delaware Superior Court or the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Relevant Matter or for recognition or enforcement of any Judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court lacks jurisdiction, the Delaware Superior Court or the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof; (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court lacks jurisdiction, the Delaware Superior Court or the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof; (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection

110

that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such courts; and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final Judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the Judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 10.8(b) in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Seller and the Company agrees that any action of any kind or nature (whether based on contract, tort or other theory) against or involving any Debt Financing Party in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby or the transactions contemplated hereby (any such action, a “Debt Financing Party Related Proceeding”) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (except for the interpretation of this Agreement, which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware), without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Seller and the Company (i) agrees that any Debt Financing Party Related Proceeding shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and the appellate courts thereof) or if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in state courts, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Borough of Manhattan, (ii) agrees that service of process in any Debt Financing Party Related Proceeding made pursuant to Section 10.8(b) will constitute good and valid service of process in any such Debt Financing Party Related Proceeding and (iii) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of forum non conveniens to the maintenance of any Debt Financing Party Related Proceeding in any such court.

10.9 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any of the parties (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, that no consent will be required in connection with an assignment by Buyer or, following the Closing, the Company to: (i) its affiliates or (ii) any subsequent acquirer of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or all or a material portion of their respective assets, taken as a whole, but, in each case, no assignment will relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder (including pursuant to Article II). Subject to the preceding sentence, but without relieving any party of any obligation hereunder, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that Buyer may assign any or all of its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the consent of the other parties or their applicable affiliates to its Debt Financing Sources or other financing sources solely for collateral security purposes.

111

10.10 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 7.5 (Indemnification), Section 10.14 (Non-Recourse) and Section 10.16 (Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation; Non-Assertion of Attorney Client Privilege), nothing in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Debt Financing Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and the Debt Financing Sources on behalf of the Debt Financing Parties may enforce, the Lender Protective Provisions.

10.11 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed or is threatened to not be performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the Closing), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (i) it has an adequate remedy at Law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The parties’ rights in this Section 10.11 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party hereby waives any objections to any remedy referred to in this Section 10.11 (including any objection on the basis that there is an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of such remedy is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity). In the event any party seeks any remedy referred to in this Section 10.11, such party shall not be required to obtain, furnish, post or provide any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such remedy.

(b) To the extent the Seller or the Company brings any Proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement when expressly available to such party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Proceeding is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Proceeding.

10.12 Severability. If any term, provision, agreement, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto; provided, that the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be affected in a manner materially adverse to the parties hereto if Section 10.14 is invalid, void or incapable of being enforced. Upon such a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, void, or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

112

10.13 Company Disclosure Schedule. No exceptions to any representations or warranties disclosed on one section of the Company Disclosure Schedule attached hereto shall constitute an exception to any other representations or warranties made in this Agreement unless the exception is disclosed as provided herein on each such other applicable section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or, solely with respect to Article III hereof (but excluding Section 3.6) the applicability of such disclosure to such other section of the Company Disclosure Schedule is reasonably apparent on its face.

10.14 Non-Recourse.

(a) This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, may only be brought against the named parties to this Agreement or such Transaction Documents and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein or therein with respect to the named parties to this Agreement or such Transaction Documents (in all cases, as limited herein or therein). No Person who is not a named party to this Agreement, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, trustee, attorney or representative of the Company, the Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, will have or be subject to any Liability (whether in contract or in tort) to any other Person resulting from (nor will any party hereto have any claim against any such Person with respect to) (a) the distribution to such party, or party’s use of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to such party in data rooms (electronic or otherwise), confidential information memoranda or management presentations in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, or (b) any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the sale and purchase of the Company, including any alleged non-disclosure or misrepresentations made by any such Persons, in each case, regardless of the legal theory under which such Liability may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise; and each party waives and releases all such Liabilities against any such Persons.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the Debt Financing Parties shall have any liability to the Company (prior to the Closing) or the Seller for any obligations or liabilities of any party under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Debt Financing Party Related Proceeding and each of the Company (prior to the Closing) and the Seller agrees that it will not bring, or permit any of its Affiliates to bring, any such Debt Financing Party Related Proceeding against or involving any Debt Financing Party and waives any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Party in connection with the foregoing (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise); provided that Buyer may enforce, and seek remedies under, any definitive agreement entered into in connection with the Debt Financing and nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights of any of the parties to any definitive agreement entered into in connection with the Debt Financing. Each party hereto agrees that the Debt Financing Parties are express third party beneficiaries of, and may rely upon and enforce,

113

any provisions in this Agreement reflecting the foregoing agreements in this Section 10.14 (including the Lender Protective Provisions) and the definition of “Debt Financing Sources” and “Debt Financing Parties” (and any other provision of this Agreement the amendment, modification or alteration of which has the effect of modifying such provisions) shall not be amended in any way materially adverse to the Debt Financing Parties, without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources.

10.15 Non-Survival. Notwithstanding any applicable statute of limitations, except in the case of Fraud, none of the representations or warranties in this Agreement, or in any instrument or certificate delivered by any party at Closing (other than the Commercial Agreements), shall survive the Closing, and no claim for breach of any such representation or warranty, or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought after the Closing with respect thereto, and there will be no Liability in respect thereof, whether such Liability has accrued prior to, on or after the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, the covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement required to be performed solely prior to the Closing shall terminate as of the Closing, and no party hereto nor any of its Affiliates nor its or their respective Representatives shall have any recourse against the other party hereto or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives with respect to such covenants and agreements.

10.16 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation; Non-Assertion of Attorney Client Privilege.

(a) Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing) (Buyer and all such Affiliates, the “Buyer Group”) hereby waives any claim that Latham & Watkins LLP (“Prior Company Counsel”) has or will have a conflict of interest under applicable Law or applicable ethical standards governing attorney conduct by representing the Seller Group or any of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, owners, trustees, or Affiliates (“Designated Persons”) in any dispute with any member of the Buyer Group or any other matter relating to this Agreement, the negotiation thereof or its subject matter or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, after the Closing (“Post-Closing Representation”) solely as a result of Prior Company Counsel’s representation of the Company in connection with this Agreement, the negotiation thereof or its subject matter or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Pre-Closing Representation”) (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not apply if and to the extent (i) Prior Company Counsel is then representing any member of the Buyer Group, and (ii) such representation of the Buyer Group would require Prior Company Counsel to either refrain from representing the applicable Seller Group member or obtain the informed consent of the applicable Seller Group member and any member of the Buyer Group, as applicable, under applicable Law or applicable ethical standards governing attorney conduct).

(b) Buyer, on behalf of the Buyer Group, hereby covenants and agrees, that, as to all communications prior to the Closing between Prior Company Counsel, on the one hand, and any Designated Person or the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, that are subject to attorney-client privilege as of immediately prior to the Closing and relate to (and solely to the extent related to) the Pre-Closing Representation (the “Pre-Closing

114

Company Communications”), no member of the Buyer Group may use any such Pre-Closing Company Communications in any claim, dispute, action, suit or proceeding against or involving any of the Designated Persons. Buyer, on behalf of the Buyer Group, hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any attorney-client privilege or attorney-client confidentiality obligation with respect to any Pre-Closing Company Communications in connection with any Post-Closing Representation (it being understood and agreed that any attorney-client privilege and attorney-client confidentiality obligation with respect to such Pre-Closing Company Communications will be retained and controlled by the applicable Seller or other Designated Person solely for purposes of any such Post-Closing Representation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the Closing a dispute arises between Buyer or one or more of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party other than (and unaffiliated with) any Designated Person, on the other hand, then Buyer or such Affiliate (to the extent applicable) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure to such third party of confidential communications by Prior Company Counsel (including any Pre-Closing Company Communications); provided, that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Seller. Buyer acknowledges that it has had adequate opportunity to consult with counsel of its choosing, and has consulted with such counsel, in connection with its decision to agree to the terms of this Section 10.16.

(c) As of the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries will cease to have any attorney-client relationship with the Prior Company Counsel, unless and to the extent that such Prior Company Counsel is expressly engaged in writing by the Company or its Subsidiaries to represent it.
