Section 2.6    Reconciliation of Initial Closing Statement.

(a)Parent shall notify Purchaser in writing no later than thirty (30) days after Parent’s receipt of the Initial Closing Statement if Parent disagrees with the Initial Closing Statement, which notice shall provide a reasonably detailed description of the basis for such disagreement (the “Notice of Disagreement”). If no Notice of Disagreement is delivered to Purchaser within such thirty (30)-day period, then the Initial Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties in accordance with Section 2.6(c). If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered to Purchaser within such thirty (30)-day period, then only such portions of the Initial Closing Statement that Parent does not disagree with in the Notice of Disagreement shall become final and binding upon the parties in accordance with Section 2.6(c).

(b)During the thirty (30) days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement (the “Resolution Period”), Parent and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters identified in the Notice of Disagreement and any resolution agreed to in writing by Parent and Purchaser shall be final and binding upon the parties.

(c)If, at the end of the Resolution Period, Parent and Purchaser have been unable to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters identified in the Notice of Disagreement, Parent and Purchaser shall submit all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Notice of Disagreement to BDO USA, LLP or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to fulfill such role, (i) another independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of national reputation mutually acceptable to Parent and Purchaser, or (ii) if Parent and Purchaser are unable to agree upon another such firm within ten (10) Business Days after the end of the Resolution Period, then within an additional ten (10) Business Days, Parent and Purchaser shall each select one such firm and those two firms shall, within ten (10) Business Days after their selection, select a third such firm (the firm selected in accordance with clause (i) or the third firm selected in accordance with clause (ii), as applicable (the “Independent Accounting Firm”)). Within thirty (30) days after the Independent Accounting Firm’s selection, the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a final determination in accordance with the Accounting Principles and based solely on the written submissions of the parties and not an independent review, binding on the parties to this Agreement, of the appropriate amount of each of the matters that remain in dispute solely to the extent indicated in the Notice of Disagreement that Parent and Purchaser have submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. Each party agrees to use reasonable best efforts to concurrently provide to the other party materials provided to the Independent Accounting Firm, if any. With respect to each disputed matter, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Parent or Purchaser, shall not be in excess of the higher, or less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Parent in the Notice of Disagreement or by Purchaser in the Initial Closing Statement with respect to such disputed matter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accounting Firm shall not review or make any determination with respect to any matter other than the matters that remain in dispute to the extent indicated in the Notice of Disagreement and shall not consider any events or

developments that occurred after the Closing. The Initial Closing Statement as finally determined either through agreement of the parties pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(b) or through the action of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.6(c), shall be the “Final Closing Statement” and such date the Final Closing Statement is delivered shall be the “Final Resolution Date.”

(d)The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated to be paid by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm. For example, if Parent claims in a Notice of Disagreement that the Closing Working Capital Amount is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Purchaser in the Initial Closing Statement, and if the Independent Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Parent $600 of the $1,000 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 600 ÷ 1,000) to Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 400 ÷ 1,000) to Parent. Absent Fraud or manifest error, all determinations made by the Independent Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement in all respects. During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, each of Purchaser and Parent shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries (including, in the case of Purchaser, the Transferred Entities) and its and their respective employees, accountants and other Representatives to, each make available to the Independent Accounting Firm interviews with such personnel, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.6(c). In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be entitled to the privileges and immunities of an arbitrator, it being understood that in acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

(e)The process set forth in Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any of the parties and their respective Affiliates for any disputes related to the Closing Working Capital Amount, the Closing Cash Amount, the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Closing Transaction Expense Amount, the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, and the calculations and amounts on which they are based or set forth in the related statements and notices delivered in connection therewith, whether or not the underlying facts and circumstances constitute a breach of any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement.

(i)The Base Purchase Price;

(ii)plus or minus, as applicable, the “Final Working Capital Adjustment Amount”, which shall be calculated as follows:

(B)In the event the Final Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Working Capital Amount, the Final Working Capital Adjustment

Amount shall equal the amount, if any, by which the Final Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Working Capital Amount; or

(C)In the event the Final Working Capital Amount is neither greater than nor less than the Target Working Capital Amount, the Final Working Capital Adjustment Amount shall equal zero (0);

Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser within three (3) Business Days of the Final Resolution Date.

(d)If the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7, is a positive number, Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days of the Final Resolution Date, pay Parent (or one or more Affiliates designated by Parent) an aggregate amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent within three (3) Business Days of the Final Resolution Date.

(e)If the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7, is equal to zero (0), then no payment shall be made to any party hereunder.

To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld in accordance with this Section 2.8 and paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to Parent, the Seller or any other applicable recipient of payment in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8, Purchaser and its Affiliates (and the Transferred Entities) shall not be permitted to deduct or withhold any amounts in respect of any Taxes imposed under Bulletin

(a)At or prior to the Closing, (i) all intercompany accounts (including those set forth on Section 6.8 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule), between any member of the Parent Group (other than the Transferred Entities), on the one hand, and any Transferred Entity, on the other hand, shall be settled or otherwise eliminated, it being understood that, from and after the Closing, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities shall have no obligation or liability with respect to the intercompany accounts set forth on Section 6.8 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) without limiting the provisions of Section 8.14, any and all Cash of the Transferred Entities may be extracted from the Transferred Entities by the Sellers or other Affiliates of Parent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, through cash sweeps, dividend payments, distributions, share redemptions, recapitalizations, and the settling of intercompany loans accounts), in the case of each of clause (i) and clause (ii), in such a manner as Parent shall reasonably determine in its sole discretion.

(b)For the avoidance of doubt, (i) other than as set forth in Section 8.14, intercompany accounts between and among any of the Transferred Entities shall not be required to have been eliminated on the Closing Date and (ii) trade accounts payable and receivable between any Transferred Entity, on the one hand, and any member of the Parent Group (other than the Transferred Entities), on the other hand, created in the Ordinary Course of Business, shall not be required to have been eliminated on the Closing Date.

Section 6.9    Termination of Intercompany Arrangements. Effective at the Closing, all arrangements, understandings or Contracts, including all obligations to provide goods, services

or other benefits, by any member of the Parent Group (other than the Transferred Entities), on the one hand, and any Transferred Entity, on the other hand, that are not otherwise covered under Section 6.8, shall be terminated without any party having any continuing obligations or Liability to the other, except for (a) this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreement and (b) the other arrangements, understandings or Contracts listed in Section 6.9 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule.

Section 6.10    Insurance; Director and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)Insurance Policies.

(i)Prior to the date hereof, Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities) have maintained insurance coverage provided by third-party insurers (including insurance for property, commercial general liability, commercial automobile, workers compensation, employers liability, excess and umbrella liability, employment practices liability, fiduciary liability, products liability, crime and cyber) for Liabilities of the Business and the Transferred Entities arising out of occurrences or claims made on or prior to the Closing Date, whether or not reported to the relevant insurer, or otherwise for claims or occurrences that would be covered under such policies or with respect to insurance policies primarily for the benefit of a Transferred Entity (the “Parent Occurrence Policies and each, a “Parent Occurrence Policy”) (and any such claims under a Parent Occurrence Policy, the “Insurance Claims” and each, an “Insurance Claim” ). After the Closing Date, upon request of Purchaser, Parent or its applicable Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts (including filing claims on behalf of the Business) to facilitate coverage under the relevant Parent Occurrence Policy for applicable Insurance Claims in substantially the same manner as similar claims were processed prior to the Closing Date, with such coverage determination to be governed by and construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant Parent Occurrence Policy. In the event that (A) Parent or its applicable Affiliates receive any proceeds of a Parent Occurrence Policy with respect to any Insurance Claim covered thereby, and (B) the amount or loss subject to such claim has been paid or incurred by the Business, Parent or its applicable Affiliates shall promptly pay or reimburse Purchaser with respect to the amount so paid or incurred by the Business in accordance with this Section 6.10(a).

(ii)Purchaser shall reimburse Parent or its applicable Affiliates for any third-party out-of-pocket administrative and processing fees or other similar third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses imposed by the insurer and paid by them specifically relating to the submitted Insurance Claims and the processing thereof (the “Reimbursed Amounts”). The parties hereto agree that (A) Parent will invoice Purchaser on a monthly basis for all Reimbursed Amounts paid or incurred by Parent or its applicable Affiliates with appropriate supporting details, and (B) Purchaser will pay the amount reflected on such invoices as promptly as practicable and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of any such invoice with appropriate supporting details.

(iii)In the event that, after the Closing, a Transferred Entity or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, in each case, takes or fails to take any action that results in the Parent Occurrence Policy not being available for any reason with respect to any Insurance Claim, Parent shall as promptly as practicable notify Purchaser in writing as to what action or failure of action caused a suspension of coverage. Purchaser shall have

forty-five (45) days to cause the applicable Transferred Entity to remedy such action or failure of action. If no remedy has been effected at the end of such forty-five (45)-day period (or such longer period as may be agreed in writing by the parties hereto acting reasonably), then Parent’s or its applicable Affiliates’ obligations pursuant to this Section 6.10(a) solely with respect to such Insurance Claim shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (A) in no event shall Parent or any of its Affiliates be required to pay, or be held responsible for, any self-insured retention amounts or deductibles payable with respect to any Insurance Claim, and (B) the Business shall be responsible for all self-insured retention amounts and deductibles payable with respect to any Insurance Claim.

(iv)Purchaser acknowledges that effective as of the Closing Date, Parent or its Affiliates intend to remove the Business and the Transferred Entities from the Parent Occurrence Policies to the extent that the Parent Occurrence Policies relate to any occurrences first arising at any time after the Closing Date. Accordingly, Purchaser acknowledges that coverage under the Parent Occurrence Policies will not be available to the Transferred Entities with respect to any injury, loss, or damage that the Transferred Entities or any third party may suffer as a result of any act, omission, occurrence, fact, or circumstance to the extent occurring with respect to any period after the Closing Date. The parties hereto will (and will cause their Affiliates to) use reasonable best efforts to structure for Tax purposes any payments between them provided for in this Section 6.10(a) in a manner that is Tax-efficient for the parties and their Affiliates.

(b)Director and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.

(i)Purchaser and Parent agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liability for or in connection with acts or omissions occurring at any time prior to or on the Closing Date (including in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions), that exist as of the date hereof in favor of any Person who prior to or on the Closing Date is or was a current or former director, manager or officer of a Transferred Entity, and any “Insured Person” as that term is used in the Swiss Re Corporate Solutions America Insurance Corporation Executive and Enhanced Organization Liability Policy maintained by Parent (each, a “D&O Indemnified Person”), including as provided in the Organizational Documents of a Transferred Entity, will survive the Closing and will continue in full force and effect for the six-year period following the Closing Date. In furtherance (and not in limitation) of the foregoing, for the six-year period following the Closing Date, Purchaser will cause the Transferred Entities to, and the Transferred Entities will maintain in the Organizational Documents of each of the Transferred Entities provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liability that in each such respect are at least as favorable to each D&O Indemnified Person as those contained in each Transferred Entity’s respective Organizational Documents, as applicable, as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Person.

(ii)If Purchaser or any Transferred Entity (or any of its successors or assigns) (a) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (b) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other Person (including by dissolution,

liquidation, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar action), then, and in each such case, proper provision will be made so that such other Person fully assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10(b).

(iii)The provisions of this Section 6.10(b) will survive the Closing. This Section 6.10(b) will be for the irrevocable benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Person and his or her respective heirs, executors, administrators, estates, successors and assigns, and each such Person will be an express intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement for such purposes. Purchaser will pay, or will cause the Transferred Entities to pay, as and when incurred by any Person referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, all reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Person in enforcing such Person’s rights under this Section 6.10(b). The obligations under this Section 6.10(b) will not be terminated, revoked, modified or amended in any way so as to materially and adversely affect any Person referred to in the second sentence of this Section 6.10(b)(iii) without the written consent of such Person. With respect to any right to indemnification or advancement for actual or claimed acts or omissions occurring prior to or on the Closing Date (including in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions), each Transferred Entity, as applicable, will be the indemnitor of first resort, responsible for all such indemnification and advancement that any D&O Indemnified Person may otherwise have from any direct or indirect stockholder or equity holder of any of the Transferred Entities (or any Affiliate of such stockholder or equity holder) and without right to seek or obtain subrogation, indemnity or contribution; provided, that nothing in the foregoing clause, or otherwise in this Section 6.10(b), shall be interpreted to limit or otherwise impair the rights of the Purchaser or the Transferred Entities under Section 6.10(a). Purchaser further agrees that no advance or prepayment by any Person other than the applicable Transferred Entity or Transferred Entities as the primary indemnitor on behalf of any D&O Indemnified Person with respect to any claim for which such D&O Indemnified Person has sought indemnification or advancement from any of the Transferred Entities will affect the foregoing and that any such secondary indemnitor will have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all the rights of recovery of the D&O Indemnified Person against the Transferred Entities and Purchaser, and Parent shall cause the Transferred Entities to hereby irrevocably release any such secondary indemnitor from, and irrevocably waive and relinquish any right to assert against any such secondary indemnitor, any and all claims for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof, effective as of the Closing Date. Each of Purchaser and the D&O Indemnified Persons agree that the secondary indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10(b)(iii).

Section 6.11    Litigation Support. Following the Closing, in the event and for so long as Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates is prosecuting, contesting or defending any Action, investigation, charge, claim, or demand by or against a third party (other than an Action brought against or by the other party hereto or any Affiliate of such party or an Action brought against or by any Governmental Entity or relating to Antitrust Laws) or otherwise addressing, negotiating, disputing, investigating, complying with, mitigating, discharging or otherwise performing or managing any obligation, Liability or loss in connection with (a) any Transactions or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction relating to, in connection with or arising from

the Business or the Transferred Entities, each of Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates (and its and their respective officers and employees, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their other Representatives) to, cooperate with the other party and its and their counsel in such prosecution, contest or defense, including, upon reasonable request, making available its personnel, participating in meetings, providing such testimony and access to their books and records and taking such other actions as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with such prosecution, contest or defense.

Section 6.12    Misallocated Assets and Misdirected Payments.

(a)If, following the Closing, any right, property or asset that is part of the Retained Businesses is found to have been transferred to Purchaser, the Transferred Entities or their Affiliates in error, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to transfer, or cause its applicable Affiliate to transfer, such right, property or asset to the applicable member of the Parent Group as soon as practicable, without the payment of any further consideration thereof. Until such time that Purchaser transfers any such right or asset that constitutes Intellectual Property in accordance with this Section 6.12(a), Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to the Parent Group a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable and transferable right and license (or sub-license, as the case may be) to fully use, practice and otherwise exploit such Intellectual Property, as applicable, effective as of the Closing.

(b)If, following the Closing, any right, property or asset that is part of the Business is found to have been transferred to or retained by a member of the Parent Group in error, either directly or indirectly, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to transfer, or cause the applicable member of the Parent Group to transfer, such right, property or asset to Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate as soon as practicable, without the payment of any further consideration thereof. Until such time that Parent transfers any such right or asset that constitutes Intellectual Property in accordance with this Section 6.12(b), Parent, on behalf of itself and other members of the Parent Group, hereby grants to Purchaser and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable and transferable right and license (or sub-license, as the case may be) to fully use, practice and otherwise exploit such Intellectual Property, as applicable, effective as of the Closing.

(c)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement, following the Closing Date, (i) if any payments due with respect to the Business are paid in error to any member of the Parent Group, Parent shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the Parent Group to, promptly remit by wire or draft such payment to an account designated in writing by Purchaser and (ii) if any payments due with respect to the Retained Business are paid in error to Purchaser, the Transferred Entities or their Affiliates, Purchaser shall, or cause its Affiliates to, promptly remit by wire or draft such payment to an account designated in writing by Parent. Purchaser shall have the right and authority, from and after the Closing Date, to collect for its own account all receivables of the Business (the “Closing Receivables”) and to endorse with the name of the applicable Parent Group member on any checks or drafts received with respect to any Closing Receivables. The provisions of this Section 6.12 are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, constitute an authorization by any party or its Affiliates to permit acceptance of service of process on its behalf, and, from and after the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be deemed to be the agent of the Parent Group for service of process purposes, and the Parent Group shall not be deemed to be the agent of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for service of process purposes.

Section 6.13    Intellectual Property Chain of Title Corrections. Prior to the Closing, Parent agrees to use reasonable best efforts to file a name change at the United States Patent and Trademark Office and intellectual property offices or agencies in any other jurisdictions as necessary or otherwise correct the named owner in the public record of any Business Registered Intellectual Property, such that the title records at the applicable intellectual property offices and agencies properly reflect (or will reflect, after any such filing is processed) ownership of all such Business Registered Intellectual Property in the name of a Transferred Entity. Parent shall provide to Purchaser reasonable documentary evidence of any actions taken, and filings made, in connection with the foregoing prior to the Closing. In the event that any such filing to update the title records at the applicable intellectual property offices to name a Transferred Entity as the owner of record of the Business Registered Intellectual Property has not been filed at or prior to the Closing, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents but excluding making any filings, which shall be the responsibility of Purchaser) as Purchaser may reasonably request, at the sole cost and expense of Parent, as necessary for Purchaser to complete such name change or correction following Closing.

Section 6.14    Local Law Requirements. Promptly following execution of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate to prepare any further transfer documents and agreements as may be required by the Law of any particular jurisdiction to consummate the Closing, it being understood by the parties hereto that the representations and warranties provided in this Agreement shall be the sole representations and warranties provided by Parent and its Affiliates with respect to the Transferred Entities.

Section 6.15    Parent Names.

(a)Except as expressly provided in this Section 6.15, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) shall use, or have or acquire the right to use or any other rights in, any Marks of Parent or any of its Affiliates, including Parent’s logo and Marks containing the word “Carlisle” or any variations or derivatives thereof or any names, trademarks, service Marks or logos of Parent or any of its Affiliates, or any name, trademark, service Mark or logo that are confusingly similar to any of the foregoing (the “Parent Names”).

(b)Purchaser and its Affiliates may, solely for transitional use as reasonably necessary to continue to operate the Business, continue to use the Parent Names in substantially the same manner as used in the operation of the Business in the twelve (12) months prior to the date hereof. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than (i) one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, file such documents and take, or cause to be taken, such necessary actions, to file with competent Governmental Entities to change the corporate names of the Transferred Entities and (ii) twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, remove, strike over, or otherwise cease all use of the Parent Names. Any use by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates under this Section 6.15 of any materials and assets that bear the Parent Names is subject to the use of such materials and assets in the form and manner, and with standards of quality, as in effect for such materials, assets and Parent Names as of the Closing Date. None of Parent or any of its Affiliates shall use the Parent Names in a manner that would reasonably be expected to reflect negatively on the Parent Names or on Parent or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Purchaser and the Transferred Entities shall not be deemed to have violated this Section 6.15, even after the twelve (12) month period provided above by reason of (i) their use of equipment and other similar non-

public-facing articles used in the Business, notwithstanding that they may bear one or more of the Parent Names; (ii) the appearance of the Parent Names on any internal manuals, work sheets, operating procedures, other written or electronic data, materials or assets (including computer source code) that are used solely for internal purposes in connection with the Business; or (iii) the appearance of the Parent Names in or on any third party’s publications, marketing materials, brochures, equipment or products that were distributed in the Ordinary Course of Business or pursuant to a Contract prior to the Closing Date, and that generally are in the public domain, or any other similar uses by any such third party over which Purchaser has no control. Subject to a ten (10) Business Day cure period following written notice to Purchaser by Parent, Parent may terminate the foregoing license, effective immediately, if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates fails to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions in relation to the use of the Parent Names and does not cure such failure during such cure period. Following the Closing, each party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, not hold itself out as having any affiliation with the other party or any of its Affiliates (except with reference to the Transactions). Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at Law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 6.15(b) would be inadequate and agrees and consents that without intending to limit any additional remedies that may be available, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof and immediate injunctive relief and other equitable relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, and the parties further hereby agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of bond or other undertaking, in any action which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 6.15(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and its Affiliates have the right to use the Parent Names at all times after the Closing as permitted or required by Law (including any use not constituting trademark infringement) or “fair use” principles.

Section 6.16     Non-Solicitation; Non-Competition.

(a)Each member of the Parent Group shall not, and shall not permit, cause or encourage any of its respective Affiliates to, at any time prior to twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, except as set forth on Section 6.16(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, solicit the employment or services of or hire in any capacity (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise) any Transferred Business Employee or independent contractor of the Transferred Entities as of Closing or any Person who has been an employee or an independent contractor of the Transferred Entities within the twelve (12)-month period immediately preceding the Closing Date, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, unless such Person has (i) been terminated by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates subsequent to the Closing or (ii) voluntarily terminated such Person’s own employment or engagement with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates subsequent to the Closing and who has not been employed or engaged by any Transferred Entity for a period of at least six (6) months prior to the date of such hire, without Purchaser’s prior written consent. For purposes of this Section 6.16(a), the term “solicit the employment or services” shall not be deemed to include generalized searches for employees through media advertisements of general circulation, employment search firms, open job fairs or otherwise and not specifically directed at such Persons.

(b)As a material inducement to Purchaser entering into this Agreement, each member of the Parent Group shall not, and shall not permit, cause or encourage any of its respective Affiliates to, directly or indirectly (whether by itself, through an Affiliate or in partnership or conjunction with any other Person), at any time prior to five (5) years from the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”), directly or indirectly, either for itself or for any other

Person, own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, permit its name to be used or in any other manner engage in all or any portion of the Business. For purposes of this Section 6.16(b), the term “participate” includes any direct or indirect interest in any enterprise, whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, sole proprietor, agent, Representative, independent contractor, seller, franchisor, franchisee, creditor, or owner; provided, that the foregoing activities shall not include (A) passive ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the stock of a publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter market, (B) the acquisition of an entity or business that engages in a business competitive with the Business as conducted as of the date hereof, so long as (x) the revenue from such competitive operations does not exceed the lesser of either $25,000,000 or ten percent (10%) of the total revenue of such entity or business (as applicable) and (y) Parent or its applicable Affiliate sells or otherwise divests each competitive operation within twelve (12) months following such acquisition (unless such acquisition occurs more than four years and six months after the Closing Date and such disposition would occur after the end of the five (5)-year period described in this Section 6.16(b), in which case Parent shall not be required to make such disposition), or (C) a Person’s continued employment by (or ownership in) any of the Transferred Entities and/or any of their Subsidiaries. During the Non-Compete Period, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly through another Person (i) solicit or service any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Transferred Entities (a “Business Client”) with respect to products or services that have been provided by the Transferred Entities, are currently being provided by the Transferred Entities or which the Transferred Entities are currently in the process of developing; or (ii) encourage, induce or solicit, or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit, any Business Client to cease doing business with the Transferred Entities.

Section 6.17    Resignations. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver any resignations of the directors, managers, and officers of the Transferred Entities (effective as of the Closing Date) that are requested by Purchaser in writing no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.18    R&W Insurance Policy. In the event Purchaser or any of its Affiliates elects to obtain a representations and warranties insurance policy in respect of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument contemplated by or delivered in connection with this Agreement (such policy, a “R&W Insurance Policy” ), (a) except for the Parent R&W Expense Reimbursement, Purchaser shall be responsible for all premiums, underwriting fees, brokers’ commissions and other costs and expenses related to such R&W Insurance Policy, (b) such R&W Insurance Policy shall not provide for any “seller retention” (as such phrase is commonly used in the R&W Insurance Policy industry), (c) such R&W Insurance Policy shall expressly and irrevocably waive any claims of subrogation and contribution against Parent and the Sellers (except in the case of losses resulting from Fraud) (the “Subrogation Provision”), (d) such R&W Insurance Policy shall expressly provide that Parent and the Sellers are intended third-party beneficiaries of the R&W Insurance Policy and (e) none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall amend, waive, modify or otherwise revise the Subrogation Provision of the R&W Insurance Policy in any manner adverse to Parent or Sellers without the prior written consent of Parent. Parent, the Sellers and the Transferred Entities shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser with respect to Purchaser’s procurement of the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 6.19    Exclusivity. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Parent shall not,

and shall cause its controlled Affiliates (including the Sellers) and other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) pursue, solicit, initiate, participate in, facilitate, encourage or otherwise enter into any discussions, negotiations, agreements or other arrangements regarding or which would reasonably be expected to lead to, a possible sale or other disposition (whether by merger, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of all or any part of the Equity Interests or a material portion of the assets of the Transferred Entities with any other Person other than Purchaser or its Affiliates (an “Acquisition Proposal”), in each case, other than the Transactions, or (ii) provide any nonpublic information to any Person, other than Purchaser and its Affiliates, Representatives, agents and lenders, other than information which is provided in the Ordinary Course of Business to third parties where Parent, the Sellers, the Transferred Entities and their officers, directors and Affiliates have no reason to believe that such information may be utilized to evaluate any Acquisition Proposal. Parent shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates and other Representatives to, (a) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all contacts, discussions and negotiations with any Person other than Purchaser and its Affiliates and Representatives regarding any Acquisition Proposal conducted prior to the date of this Agreement; and (b) to the extent not prohibited by Law or Contract, promptly notify Purchaser if any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or contact with any Person with respect thereto which has been made as of or prior to the date of this Agreement or is subsequently made, and the specific terms and conditions discussed or proposed. Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, Parent shall not, and shall cause the Sellers and Transferred Entities not to, release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any standstill agreement or confidentiality agreement to which Parent, any Seller or any Transferred Entity is a party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.19 is intended to restrict or limit Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities) from entering into, engaging in or consummating any transaction not involving the Transferred Entities or the Business.

Section 6.20    Notification of Certain Matters. Parent and Purchaser shall reasonably promptly notify each other of the receipt of (a) any written communication received from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, (b) any Action commenced or, to its knowledge, threatened against Purchaser, Parent, the Transferred Entities, or their Affiliates (as applicable) that relates to the consummation of the Transactions; and (c) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement of which Parent or Purchaser (as applicable) has knowledge that would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Article IX. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.20 shall not (i) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (ii) limit the remedies available to the party sending or receiving such notice.

Section 6.21    Transition Services Agreement. The parties agree that, on the Closing Date, Purchaser and Parent will enter into the Transition Services Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Section 7.1    Continuation of Employment; TSA Employees. The Sellers shall, upon request of Purchaser at least ten (10) Business Days before the Closing Date, make available an updated version of Section 4.12(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule within five (5) Business Days before the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall continue or cause each of

the Transferred Entities to continue to employ on the Closing Date its respective Transferred Entity Employees. Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof (including a professional employer organization or employer of record) shall make offers of employment to each TSA Employee, effective as of the termination or end of the applicable services period under the Transition Services Agreement, in such a manner that would not trigger any severance obligations under any Seller Benefit Plan and on the employment terms specified in Section 7.2 and in accordance with applicable law. In respect of the TSA Employees, all references in this Article VII to the “Closing” or the “Closing Date” shall be deemed to be references to the day on which such TSA Employee becomes an employee of Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof. Each such Business Employee whose employment continues with a Transferred Entity, including by operation of Law, or who receives an offer of employment by Purchaser or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Business Employee”.

Section 7.2    Terms and Conditions of Employment. With respect to each Transferred Business Employee, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall take all actions reasonably necessary to provide or cause to be provided, for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (x) December, 31, 2024 or (y) the Transferred Business Employee’s termination of employment (the “Continuation Period”), (i) not less than the same hourly wage rate or base salary in effect for each such Transferred Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (ii)cash incentive compensation opportunities that are substantially comparable to those set forth on Section 7.2(i) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, equity and equity-based, retention, or transaction-based opportunities), as in effect for each such Transferred Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) employee benefits that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those in effect with respect to each Transferred Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing (excluding the Excluded Benefits (as defined below) and any benefits under any defined contribution plan). For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be obligated to provide or provide any substitute or replacement plan or program for any of the following opportunities or plans to the Transferred Business Employees on the same basis as was provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing: employee stock purchase plan participation, transaction or retention bonuses, long-term cash incentive opportunities, equity or equity-based incentives, deferred compensation plans, defined benefit pension plans, retiree life insurance, or supplemental retirement plans (the “Excluded Benefits”). Additionally, Purchaser agrees to provide, or cause one of its Affiliates to provide, each Transferred Business Employee, whose employment is terminated during the Continuation Period, subject to the Transferred Business Employee’s execution without revocation, of a general release of claims against Purchaser, Sellers and their respective Affiliates, (x) with respect to the Key Employees, by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates without cause or due to the Transferred Business Employee’s resignation for Good Reason or (y) with respect to any Transferred Business Employee that is not a Key Employee, by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates without cause, in either case, under circumstances triggering severance under the applicable arrangement, with severance and/or termination pay and benefits (i) (I) for Transferred Business Employees not covered by clause (II), that is substantially comparable to the severance and/or termination pay and benefits that each Transferred Business Employee would be eligible to receive under Purchaser’s severance guidelines, or (II) with respect to any Transferred Business Employees that are listed on Section 7.2(ii) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, in accordance with the severance and/or termination pay and benefits set forth on Section 7.2(ii) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) if greater, as required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and its

Affiliates shall not be prohibited by this Section 7.2 from terminating the employment of any Transferred Business Employee following the Closing Date.

Section 7.3    Service Credit. As of and after the Transition Period End Date, to the extent permissible under the Purchaser Benefit Plan (if applicable) (as defined below), Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including, following the Closing Date, the Transferred Entities) to use reasonable best efforts to give each Transferred Business Employee full credit for all purposes under (a) any Transferred Entity Benefit Plans, and (b) each other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or made available for the benefit of Transferred Business Employees as of or after the Closing by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing Date, the Transferred Entities) (excluding any Excluded Benefits) (such plans referenced in (b), the “Purchaser Benefit Plans” ), for such Transferred Business Employee’s service prior to the Closing with Parent and its applicable Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities) and their respective predecessors to the same extent as such service was recognized under the comparable Business Benefit Plan; provided, that such credit shall not be given to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits.

Section 7.4    Health and Welfare Coverages. To the extent permissible under the applicable Purchaser Benefit Plan, as of and after the Transition Period End Date, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing Date, the Transferred Entities) shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each Transferred Business Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) to be covered by health and welfare benefit plans, that do not limit or exclude coverage on the basis of any pre-existing condition of such Transferred Business Employee or dependent (other than any limitation already in effect under the corresponding Seller Benefit Plan or Transferred Entity Benefit Plan) or on the basis of any other exclusion or waiting period not in effect under the applicable Business Benefit Plan.

Section 7.5    Accrued Vacation, Sick Leave and Personal Time. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, honor all accrued but unused vacation, holiday pay, sick pay, personal time and other paid time off for all Transferred Business Employees.

For the avoidance of doubt, as of the Closing Date, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall assume, or shall cause the Transferred Entities to assume or retain, as the case may be, sponsorship of, and all Liabilities and other obligations with respect to, the Transferred Entity Benefit Plans. The Parent Group shall assume and retain all obligations under Section 4980B of the Code for all individuals who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9).

Section 7.7    Stay Bonus Payments. Purchaser shall pay to the Transferred Entity Employees the retention, transaction or sale bonuses (including the employer portion of Taxes related thereto) (collectively, the “Stay Bonuses”) that are outstanding as of the date hereof and scheduled on Section 4.11(i) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule and owed to any such individuals, on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the Closing. The parties

understand acknowledge and agree that all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be considered Transaction Expenses for purposes of this agreement.

Section 7.8    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Without limiting the generality of Section 12.5, nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall (a) be treated as an amendment to, or be construed as amending, or requiring any amendment to any Business Benefit Plan, Purchaser Benefit Plan, Transferred Entity Benefit Plan or other Benefit Plan, program or agreement sponsored, maintained or contributed to by any Seller, any Transferred Entity, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, (b) prevent Purchaser or its Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Business Employee, or (c) confer any rights or remedies (including third-party beneficiary rights) on any current or former director, employee, consultant or independent contractor of any Seller, any Transferred Entity, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates or any beneficiary or dependent thereof or any other Person other than the parties to this Agreement.

Section 8.1    Purchase Price Allocation.

(a)For all applicable Tax and non-Tax purposes, Parent and Purchaser agree to (and agree to cause their respective Affiliates to) (1) allocate the Final Purchase Price and any other amounts treated as consideration for such Tax purposes among the Shares and (2) further allocate the Final Purchase Price and any other amounts treated as consideration for such tax purposes among the assets of the Transferred Entities treated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as entities disregarded from their owners, in the case of each of clause (1) and clause (2), in accordance with the amounts and methodologies set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”).

(b)No later than sixty (60) days after the date on which the Final Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.7, Purchaser shall deliver to Parent a proposed allocation of the Final Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional consideration for Tax purposes among the Shares and assets described in Section 8.1(a)(1) and (2), respectively, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule (“Purchaser’s Allocation”). If Parent disagrees with Purchaser’s Allocation, Parent may, within sixty (60) days after delivery of Purchaser’s Allocation, deliver a notice (“Parent’s Allocation Notice”) to Purchaser to such effect, specifying those items as to which Parent disagrees and setting forth Parent’s proposed allocation. If Parent’s Allocation Notice is duly and timely delivered, Parent and Purchaser shall, during the twenty (20) days following such delivery, use reasonable best efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation of the Final Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts). If Parent and Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve any remaining disputes. Any allocation of the Final Purchase Price (and other relevant amounts) determined pursuant to the decision of the Independent Accounting Firm shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule and the terms of this Agreement. Any costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm incurred pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) shall be borne equally by Parent, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand. The allocation, as prepared by Purchaser if no Parent’s Allocation Notice has been timely

given, as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between Parent and Purchaser or as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) (the “Allocation”), shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The Allocation shall be adjusted, as necessary, to reflect any subsequent payments treated as adjustments to the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 8.6. Any such adjustment shall be allocated, consistent with this Section 8.1(b), to the Equity Interests and/or asset or assets of the Transferred Companies to which such adjustment is attributable.

(c)Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) not take any position inconsistent with the Allocation on any Tax Return, in connection with any Tax Proceeding or otherwise, in each case, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law). In the event that the Allocation is disputed by any taxing authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify the other party in writing of such notice and resolution of the dispute.

Section 8.2    Cooperation and Exchange of Information.

(a)Not more than thirty (30) days after the receipt of a request from Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, each of Purchaser and Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the other, a package of Tax information materials, including schedules and work papers, to enable Purchaser or Parent to prepare and file all Tax Returns required to be prepared and filed by it with respect to the Transferred Entities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes imposed under Bulletin 7). Purchaser or Parent shall prepare such package completely and accurately and in good faith and, with respect to any such package prepared by Parent, in a manner consistent with Parent’s past practice.

(b)Each party to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to the other party to this Agreement such cooperation, documentation and information as either of them reasonably may request in (i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, (ii) determining a Liability for Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes or (iii) conducting any Tax Proceeding, in each case with respect to the Transferred Entities or with respect to any Tax Return described in Section 8.10. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with all relevant portions of relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to rulings or other determinations by taxing authorities and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property and other information, which any such party may possess. Each party hereto shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide an explanation of any documents or information so provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) neither Parent nor any of the Sellers shall be required to provide any Person with any Tax Return or copy of any Tax Return or any other information, records or documents (i) of Parent or a member of the Parent Group or (ii) relating to a Tax Return that is a Parent Combined Tax Return (provided, that upon request, Parent shall provide a pro forma version of any such Parent Combined Tax Return or other information, records or documents showing the information that relates to the Transferred Entities (but not the information that does not relate to the Transferred Entities)) and (y) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide any Person with any Tax Return or copy of any Tax Return or any other information, records or documents of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (other than any Tax Return or other information, records or documents that relates solely to a Transferred Entity).

(c)Each party hereto shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records and other documents relating to Tax matters, of the relevant entities for their respective Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate and (ii) seven (7) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Thereafter, the party holding such Tax Returns or other documents may dispose of them after offering the other party reasonable notice and opportunity to take possession of such Tax Returns and other documents at such other party’s own expense (provided, that any such notice must in any event be made in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to such disposition; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, that Parent shall have no obligation to offer Purchaser any Tax Returns or other documents not required to be provided under Section 8.2(b)).

(d)The Sellers shall file or cause to be filed, in a timely manner, all information and Tax Returns contemplated under applicable PRC Law (including pursuant to Bulletin 7) in connection with the indirect sale of CIT China pursuant to this Agreement, including this Agreement, the capital structure of CIT China before and after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the financial statements of CIT China (the “Bulletin 7 Returns”) and such Bulletin 7 Returns shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects. The Sellers shall timely pay or cause to be paid any Taxes imposed under Bulletin 7 as a result of the Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the appropriate PRC Governmental Entity, and shall as soon as reasonably practicable provide to Purchaser (i) copies of any related filings with any PRC Governmental Entity and (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser of such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that Purchaser and each of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, each of the Transferred Entities) shall not make any filings with, communicate with, or approach any PRC Governmental Entity in relation to any aspects pertaining to any potential Tax liabilities under Bulletin 7 in connection with the Sale or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that Parent shall as soon as reasonably practicable provide to Purchaser copies of any written communications received from, and any filings or other written communications with, the relevant PRC Governmental Entity. If Purchaser or any of its Affiliates receive any notice, letter or other written or verbal query from or is otherwise contacted by any PRC Governmental Entity in respect of the potential Tax liability under Bulletin 7 or, if applicable, the Sellers’ Bulletin 7 tax reporting or filing in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, each of the Transferred Entities), as applicable, shall notify Parent as soon as reasonably practicable of the same and provide copies of any written communications received from the relevant PRC Governmental Entity to Parent, and Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, each of the Transferred Entities) shall not respond without the express written consent of Parent. To the extent that Parent or the respective Seller is restricted or prohibited from directly responding to or defending such claim, Parent and the respective Seller shall have the right to control the conduct of any action in connection with responding to such claim, and Purchaser shall provide (or cause to be provided) reasonable assistance and take (or cause to be taken) such action in connection with responding to any such claim as Parent and the respective Seller may reasonably request from time to time, including the execution of powers of attorney.

Section 8.3    Preparation and Filing of Returns.

(a)Following the Closing, Parent shall, at its own expense, prepare or cause to be prepared any Tax Return (other than any Parent Combined Tax Return) that is required to

be filed by or with respect to any of the Transferred Entities for any taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date (such Tax Return, other than any Parent Combined Tax Return, a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”). In the case of Pre-Closing Tax Returns (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent Combined Tax Returns) required to be filed after Closing, Parent shall prepare such Pre-Closing Tax Returns consistent with Parent’s past practice and shall provide drafts of such Pre-Closing Tax Returns to Purchaser for review and comment no less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for timely filing of such Pre-Closing Tax Returns (or if the due date is within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date). With respect to any draft of such Pre-Closing Tax Returns, Parent shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments from Purchaser, but shall not be obligated to accept such comments unless Parent’s position is not supported by “more likely than not” (or greater level of comfort). Parent shall provide Purchaser the final drafts of such Pre-Closing Tax Returns no less than five (5) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for timely filing of such Pre-Closing Tax Returns (or, if the due date is within five (5) days of the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date) and shall pay Purchaser the amount of the Indemnified Taxes reflected as due thereon.

(b)Parent shall have sole responsibility for any combined, consolidated, unitary or similar Tax Return that includes any member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, and any of the Transferred Entities, on the other hand (a “Parent Combined Tax Return”); provided, that (i) Parent shall prepare and file such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with its past practice in filing such Tax Returns (unless required otherwise by applicable Law) to the extent failing to do so would have a material and adverse effect on Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, for periods after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) and (ii) not later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing any Parent Combined Tax Return, Parent deliver a pro forma version of such Tax Return, showing the information that relates to the Transferred Entities (but not the information that does not relate to the Transferred Entities), to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review. Parent shall bear and pay all Taxes associated with any Parent Combined Tax Return.

(c)Except for any Tax Return required to be prepared by Parent pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), Purchaser shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared and timely filed all Tax Returns with respect to the Transferred Entities. In the case of any such Tax Return for a Straddle Period (a “Straddle Period Tax Return”), Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared such Straddle Period Tax Return in a manner consistent with past practices of the relevant Transferred Entity or its predecessor (or of Parent with respect to such Transferred Entity or its predecessor, as the case may be) unless required otherwise by applicable Law. Purchaser shall deliver to Parent for its review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) a draft copy of such Straddle Period Tax Return at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for timely filing of such Straddle Period Tax Returns (or (x) if the due date is within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date and (y) if such Tax Return is not an income Tax Return, as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the due date for timely filing); provided, that if Parent does not provide a written notice of objection to any such Straddle Period Tax Return within fifteen (15) days of Parent’s receipt of such Straddle Period Tax Return, then Parent shall be deemed to have approved such Straddle Period Tax Return. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.3(c), Purchaser shall be entitled to file or cause to be filed any such Straddle Period Tax Return by the due date for such Straddle Period Tax Return; provided, that if Parent does not approve (or is not deemed to have approved) any such Tax Return pursuant to

this Section 8.3(c) by such due date, then the parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute and, upon the resolution of such dispute, Purchaser shall amend such Straddle Period Tax Return in accordance with the parties’ resolution; provided, further, that if Purchaser files or causes to be filed any such Straddle Period Tax Return prior to Parent approving (or being deemed to approve) such Straddle Period Tax Return, Parent shall only be required to indemnify Purchaser for the amount of Indemnified Taxes with respect to such Straddle Period Tax Return agreed by Parent, until such dispute is resolved.

Section 8.4    Straddle Period. To the extent necessary to determine the allocation of Taxes of or with respect to the Transferred Entities in respect of a Straddle Period, (i) Taxes based on or measured by income, gain, gross or net sales, payroll, payments or receipts shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and with respect to the allocation of Taxes attributable to any Transferred Entity that is or that holds an interest in a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code or any partnership or other pass-through entity, the amount of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined as if the taxable period of such controlled foreign corporation, partnership or other pass-through entity terminated as of the end of the Closing Date, and any Taxes that are attributable to economic activity of a Transferred Entity (or controlled foreign corporation or pass-through entity) occurring on or prior to the Closing Date that are imposed in connection with Sections 706, 951 or 951A of the Code shall be considered Taxes imposed on such entity and attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods with respect to such entity (even if such Taxes are imposed on an entity that is not a Transferred Entity in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing)) and (ii) any other Taxes shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period on a per diem basis; provided, that all permitted allowances, credits, exemptions and deductions that are normally computed on the basis of an entire year period (such as depreciation and amortization deductions) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

Section 8..5    Closing of Tax Period. The parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period of the Transferred Entities for all Tax purposes. With respect to the preparation of any income Tax Return of or with respect to the Transferred Entities for any Straddle Period, the parties agree that: (i) all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be taken into account in the Pre-Closing Tax Period (and allocated solely to the Sellers with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period) to the maximum extent allowable by applicable Law, determined as if the Tax year ended on and included the Closing Date; (ii) any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by or at the direction of Purchaser or its Affiliates or any other transactions entered into by or at the direction of Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the Transactions shall not be taken into account in the Pre-Closing Tax Period; and (iii) any items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Transferred Entities. attributable to transactions outside the Ordinary Course of Business on the Closing Date after the time of the Closing shall not be taken into account in the Pre-Closing Tax Period. Purchaser shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, cause the Transferred Entities to join Purchaser’s “consolidated group” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(h)) effective on the day after the Closing Date. Purchaser’s consolidated group shall not elect to ratably allocate Tax items pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii).

Section 8.6    Tax Treatment of Payments. Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law), Parent, Purchaser, the Transferred Entities and their respective Affiliates shall treat any and all payments under Section 2.7, Section 8.11, and Article X as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes.

Section 8.7    Post-Closing Tax Covenant. Except as required by applicable Law or as contemplated or required by this Agreement, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) not to, (i) make any tax election with respect to any Transferred Entity, which election would be effective on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) take any action on the Closing Date but after the Closing that is outside the Ordinary Course of Business with respect to the Transferred Entities or the Business, (iii) amend any Tax Return or election made in connection with such Tax Return with respect to any of the Transferred Entities for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) initiate or enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement or program with any taxing authority with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (v) change any method of accounting for Tax purposes or Tax accounting period with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Section 8.8    No Section 336 or Section 338 Election. Without the prior written consent of each of Parent and Purchaser, no election under Section 336 or Section 338 of the Code (or any election to similar effect for state, local or non-U.S. Tax purposes) shall be made with respect to the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may make an election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to Tri-Star Electronics (Europe) SAGL unless Parent provides, prior to the Closing Date, either (1) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser of consummation of a merger of Tri-Star Electronics (Europe) SAGL with and into Carlisle Interconnect Technologies Switzerland GmbH with Carlisle Interconnect Technologies Switzerland GmbH surviving or (2) a copy of IRS Form 8832 filed by Tri-Star Electronics (Europe) SAGL and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser of filing.

Section 8.9    Tax Contests.

(a)If a claim shall be made (or any Tax Proceeding otherwise initiated) by any taxing authority, that, if successful, could reasonably be expected to result in an indemnity obligation from Parent pursuant to Article X, Purchaser shall promptly notify Parent in writing (a “Tax Notice”) of such claim or Tax Proceeding (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that any failure to so notify or any delay in notifying Parent shall not relieve Parent of its obligations under Article X except to the extent that Parent is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(b)With respect to any Tax Claim for any (i) Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) Taxes imposed under Bulletin 7 and (iii) Straddle Period where the majority of the Taxes for such Straddle Period are allocable to Parent under the principles of Section 8.4 (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Claim”), Parent shall have the right to control and conduct all proceedings and negotiations in connection with such Pre-Closing Tax Claim (including selection of counsel), and may, in its sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest the Pre-Closing Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided, that if Parent elects, in its sole discretion, to control and conduct the proceedings and negotiations in connection with any Pre-Closing Tax Claim, Parent shall, within ten (10) days of receipt of a Tax Notice with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Claim, notify Purchaser in writing of its intention to control and conduct the proceedings and negotiations in connection with such Pre-Closing Tax Claim; provided, further, that if Parent

chooses to sue for a refund then it shall first indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for the amount of Indemnified Taxes paid, and any subsequent refund of such Taxes shall be paid over to Parent pursuant to Section 8.11. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall be entitled to the same participation and consent rights as described in the subsequent sentences of this Section 8.9(b) in connection with any such refund suit. Purchaser or its designee shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in such proceedings and negotiations (including with counsel of its choice) in connection with any Pre-Closing Tax Claim that Parent elects to conduct and control pursuant to this Section 8.9(b) and Parent shall keep Purchaser fully informed (including by sharing any correspondence with taxing authorities with Purchaser and allowing Purchaser the opportunity to provide comments on any response from Parent which comments will be considered by Parent in good faith) and reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and its accountants and other Representatives in connection with such participation; provided, that Parent shall not settle any Pre-Closing Tax Claim (other than with respect to any Tax Return of a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group that includes any member of the Parent Group (including any Parent Combined Tax Return)) without Purchaser’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the case of any proceedings and negotiations in connection with any Pre-Closing Tax Claim that Parent does not elect to conduct and control pursuant to this Section 8.9(b) or in connection with any other Tax Claim for any Straddle Period, Purchaser may control, or cause its designee to control, and conduct such proceedings and negotiations in such manner as it may deem appropriate, and Parent shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in such proceedings and negotiations (including with counsel of its choice) and Purchaser shall keep Parent fully informed (including by sharing any correspondence with taxing authorities with Parent and allowing Parent the opportunity to provide comments on any response from Purchaser which comments will be considered by Purchaser in good faith) and reasonably cooperate with Parent and its accountants and other Representatives in connection with such participation; provided, that Purchaser shall not settle or abandon any such Tax Claim without Parent’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Claim with respect to (i) any Tax Return of Parent or a member of a Parent Group and (ii) any Parent Combined Tax Return; provided, that Parent shall not settle or otherwise resolve any such material Tax Claim in a manner that would disproportionately and materially adversely affect Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, for periods after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) without Purchaser’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep Purchaser reasonably apprised of matters that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, for periods after the Closing, the Transferred Entities).

Section 8.10    Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of Purchaser, on the one hand and Parent, on the other hand shall be responsible for 50% of any sales, use, transfer, real property transfer, registration, documentary, conveyance, franchise, goods and services, stamp, value added or similar Taxes imposed on or payable in connection with the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”). Purchaser shall prepare and file any Tax Return required to be filed with respect to any such Transfer Taxes and promptly provide a copy of such Tax Return to Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, Transfer Taxes shall not include any Taxes based on income, profits or gains (including for this purpose Bulletin 7 or any other

indirect capital gains Taxes) incurred in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.11    Refunds. Parent shall be entitled to retain, or receive prompt payment (but no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof or, with respect to a Tax Credit, no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the filing of an applicable Tax Return reflecting a reduction in cash Taxes payable by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates due to utilization of such Tax Credit) from Purchaser of, any Tax refund or credit in lieu of a Tax refund (such credit, a “Tax Credit”) (including refunds and Tax Credits arising by reason of amended Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date or otherwise), including any interest paid or credited by a Governmental Entity with respect thereto, with respect to Indemnified Taxes or other indemnity obligations of Parent pursuant to Article X; provided that such payment shall be net of any costs and expenses (including Taxes) incurred by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in obtaining or receiving such refund or Tax Credit and shall only include refunds or Tax Credits to the extent such refund or Tax Credit (i) was not taken into account in determining the Closing Purchase Price, (ii) is not attributable to a carryback of any losses, credits or other Tax attributes from any period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, (iii) is not attributable to any losses, credits or other Tax attributes relating to Purchaser or its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Entities), (iv) is a refund of or Tax Credit with respect to Tax liabilities that were paid by or on behalf of the Transferred Entities prior to the Calculation Time, were specifically included in determining the Final Purchase Price (through Indebtedness, Transaction Expenses or Working Capital), or were paid by Parent pursuant to Article X, and (v) is not required to be paid over to any Person other than Parent or any of its Affiliates under any Contract entered into prior to the Closing to which any of the Transferred Entities is a party. If Parent determines that any Transferred Entity is entitled to file a claim for refund or an amended Tax Return providing for a refund with respect to Indemnified Taxes, then Purchaser will, if Parent so requests and solely at Parent’s expense, cause the relevant Transferred Entity to file or make such claim or amended Tax Return, including through the prosecution of any proceeding which Parent directs such Transferred Entity to pursue; provided, that in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, filing or making such claim or filing such amended Tax Return would not reasonably be expected to result in any unreimbursed cost or adverse Tax consequences to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Transferred Entities). In the event any refund of any Tax or Tax Credit is subsequently disallowed or determined by a Governmental Entity to be an amount less than the amount taken into account to make a payment pursuant to this Section 8.11, Parent shall promptly return such excess to Purchaser, together with any applicable interest or penalties imposed by such Governmental Entity.

Section 8.12    Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements between the Transferred Entities, on the one hand, and any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, no Transferred Entity shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

Section 8.13    Pre-Closing Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at least two (2) days prior to the Closing, Carlisle Interconnect Technologies, Inc. shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to), pursuant to the steps set forth on Section 8.13 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, transfer, directly or indirectly, the approximately 4% equity interest currently indirectly held in Carlisle Interconnect Technologies Holdings Limited, such that no Transferred Entity directly or indirectly holds any equity interests in Carlisle Interconnect Technologies Holdings Limited on the Closing Date.

Section 8.14    Settlement of Certain Intercompany Accounts. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be settled by means of cash payments any outstanding intercompany liabilities (i) owed by Carlisle Asia Pacific Ltd. to CIT China, (ii) owed by Carlisle Asia Pacific Ltd. to CMT China, and (iii) owed by Carlisle Interconnect Technologies Switzerland GmbH to CIT Mexico, in each case to the extent that the amount of such liabilities exceeds the amount of such liabilities attributable to a receivable that has been outstanding for less than sixty-five (65) days (such excess with respect to any Cash Transferred Entity, the “Excess Intercompany Amount”); provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, any unbilled intercompany accounts receivable and accounts payable balances associated with Accounting Standards Codification 606 that are included in such intercompany balances shall be excluded in determining the Excess Intercompany Amount. Following the cash settlement contemplated by the preceding sentence and prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be extracted to a Seller, in such manner as Parent may reasonably determine, any cash or cash equivalents of each Cash Transferred Entity in excess of its applicable Cash Transferred Entity WC Cash Amount.

Section 10.1    Indemnification of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent will not be liable with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1(a), and Purchaser will not be liable with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a), unless a Claim Notice is delivered to Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be, prior to the applicable Survival Date. The parties agree that so long as a Claim Notice is delivered on or prior to the Survival Date with respect to such claim, the matters with respect to which such Claim Notice is made shall continue to survive until such matter is finally resolved. It is the express intent of the parties that if the applicable survival period of an item as contemplated for claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article X is shorter or longer than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to claims for indemnification set forth in this Article X with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened or increased to the extended survival period contemplated thereby.

Section 10.4    Notice and Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a)If a party seeks indemnification under this Article X with respect to any Action or other claim brought against it by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly deliver a Claim Notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after receiving written notice of such Third-Party Claim; provided that any failure to so notify or any delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or his obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure or delay. With respect to any Third-Party Claim which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to this Article X, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, (i) to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification or (ii) at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below), to assume control of such defense and appoint lead counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense if the Third-Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control

(I) seeks non-monetary relief, (II) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, (III) involves a claim which, if adversely determined, would be reasonably expected to establish a precedent, custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests or prospects of the Indemnified Party, (IV) involves claims made by Governmental Entities, (V) involves claims made by customers, suppliers, vendors and other business relationships that are material to the Transferred Entities, taken as a whole, (VI) seeks Losses in excess of any indemnification limitations or (VII) involves a claim that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to prosecute or defend in good faith (each of the foregoing, an “Exception Claim”). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Claim Notice” shall mean a written notice of a Third-Party Claim or any non-Third-Party Claim for which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under Article X and delivered to the Indemnifying Party describing the nature of the claim in reasonable detail, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable, otherwise a good faith estimate thereof), and the basis for indemnification thereof under this Agreement.

(b)In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to elect to assume control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim in the manner set forth in Section 10.4(a) or such Third-Party Claim is or at any time becomes, an Exception Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume control of such defense and appoint lead counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party keeps the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of material developments with respect to the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle, adjust or compromise any such Third-Party Claim, or admit any liability or wrongdoing with respect to such Third-Party Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c)If the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.4(a), (i) the Indemnified Party shall nonetheless have the right to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense, (ii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to or cease to defend such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be withheld, conditioned or delayed unreasonably); provided that the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation of any kind to consent to the entrance of any judgment or into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement (A) is for only money damages, the full amount of which (subject to, and not exceeding, the limitations to indemnification set forth in this Article X) shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party and (B) includes, as a condition thereof, an express, unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from any liability or obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(d)Irrespective of which party controls the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the other parties will, and will cause any Non-Party Affiliate to, cooperate with the controlling party in such defense and make available to the controlling party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such non-controlling party’s possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the controlling party. The parties agree that all communications between any party and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work product privilege.

(e)This Section 10.4 shall not apply to any Tax Claims, which shall be governed by Section 8.9.

Section 10.5    Notice of Indemnified Party Claims. If an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article X with respect to any matter which does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly after discovering the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification; provided that any failure to so notify or any delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or his obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure or delay. If the Indemnifying Party has promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice) delivered a written indemnity dispute notice to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after delivery of the indemnity dispute notice, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 10.6    Determination of Breach and Loss Amount.

(a)The right to indemnification and the payment of Losses of any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Parent Indemnified Party, as applicable, pursuant to this Article X, or the availability of any other remedies contemplated hereby or otherwise available to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Parent Indemnified Parties, as applicable, at law or in equity, based upon any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of any Transferred Entity, Parent or any of its Affiliates, or of Purchaser or any of its respective Affiliates, as applicable, contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation made by or on behalf of, or any knowledge or information gained by or on behalf of, any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Parent Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all references in this Agreement to “material,” “material respects” and “Material Adverse Effect” (and similar materiality qualifications, but excluding qualifications as to “knowledge” or the use of any such word in a defined term) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder or whether there has been a breach or failure of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply to the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.19 (Absence of Changes).

(b)In the event of the occurrence of any Losses for which indemnification is available under this Article X, the Indemnified Party shall mitigate any and all Losses for which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement in accordance with Delaware Law. In the event that an Indemnified Party has been indemnified for any Loss from the Indemnifying Party and later recovers such Loss under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses then such Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver any such amounts (net of any deductible amounts and any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and Taxes associated with obtaining such insurance proceeds (including any increases in premiums under any insurance policies where such increase resulted from any such insurance payments), indemnification, contribution or similar obligation of another Person) to the Indemnifying Parties up to the amount of indemnification paid to such Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Parties.

Section 10.7    General Limitations.

(a)For the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnified Party shall have any right to indemnification under this Article X for any Loss to the extent that such Indemnified Party previously obtained indemnification under this Article X for such Loss, and in no event shall any party hereto be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for Losses that have already been paid or otherwise taken into account under this Agreement.

(b)All Losses under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

Section 11.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(a)by mutual written consent of Parent and Purchaser;

(b)by either Parent or by Purchaser, if the Closing Date shall not have been consummated on or before January 30, 2025, subject to Section 12.11 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (b) shall not be available to any party to this Agreement whose breach or failure to perform in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or has primarily resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

(c)by either Parent or Purchaser, if any Law or Order permanently preventing, enjoining, making illegal or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions shall be in effect and shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (c) shall not be available to any party to this Agreement if such party’s breach in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or has primarily resulted in, the imposition of such Law or Order;

(d)by Purchaser by notice to Parent, if Parent shall have breached or failed to perform in any respect any of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, or any such representations or warranties have become inaccurate, and such breach, failure to perform or inaccuracy (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b), and (ii) (A) is incapable of being cured prior to the Outside Date or (B) if capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date, has not been cured prior to the date that is thirty (30) days from the date that Parent is notified in writing by Purchaser of such breach or failure to perform; or

(e)by Parent by notice to Purchaser, if Purchaser shall have breached or failed to perform in any respect any of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, or any such representations or warranties have become inaccurate, and such breach, failure to perform or inaccuracy (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), and (ii) (A) is incapable of being cured prior to the Outside Date or (B) if capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date, has not been

Section 12.8    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that no party to this Agreement may directly or indirectly assign any or all of its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of each other party to this Agreement, except that Purchaser may transfer or assign its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve Purchaser of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 12.9    Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such modification or amendment is sought. At any time prior to the Closing Date, either Parent, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party hereto contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance by the other party to this Agreement with any term or provision of this Agreement on the part of such other party to this Agreement to be performed or complied with. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party granting such extension or waiver. The waiver by any party to this Agreement of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 12.10    Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, 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 mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 12.11    Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled in Law or in equity. Each of the

parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose, and irrevocably waives its right to object to, the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party hereto seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such Order or injunction. If, prior to the Outside Date, any party hereto brings any Action in accordance with Section 12.3 to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by the other party hereto, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action.

Section 12.12    No Admission. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission by Purchaser, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, in any Action or Action by or on behalf of a third party, that Purchaser, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, or that such third party or any of its Affiliates, is or is not in breach or violation of, or in default in, the performance or observance of any term or provisions of any Contract.

Section 12.13    Legal Representation. Purchaser (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Transferred Entities following the Closing Date) hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, officers, employees and Affiliates, and each of their successors and assigns (all such parties, the “Waiving Parties”), that Kirkland & Ellis LLP (“K&E”) (or any successor) may represent Parent or any director, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Parent Group, in each case, in connection with any dispute, litigation, claim, proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreement or the Transactions notwithstanding its representation (or any continued representation) of Parent, the Sellers and/or the Transferred Entities, and Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any actual or potential conflict of interest or any objection arising therefrom or relating thereto. Purchaser acknowledges that the foregoing provision applies whether or not K&E provides legal services to the Transferred Entities after the Closing Date. Purchaser, for itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between the Transferred Entities and/or any member of the Parent Group and their counsel, including K&E, made prior to the Closing to the extent related to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications that do not pass to the Transferred Entities (after the Closing) notwithstanding the Transactions, and instead remain with and are controlled by Parent (the “Privileged Communications”); provided, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Entities) of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any such communications to any third party. Purchaser and the Transferred Entities, together with any of their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, successors or assigns, agree that no Person may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications, whether located in the records or email server of the Transferred Entities, or otherwise, in any action against or involving any of the parties after the Closing; and Purchaser and the Transferred Entities agree not to assert that the privilege has been waived as to the Privileged Communication that may be located in the records or email server of the Transferred Entities. Each party hereby agrees, on its own behalf

and on behalf of its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, equityholders, officers, employees and Representatives, that, except as otherwise set forth above relating to the Privileged Communications, all other confidential and privileged information relating to the Business or the Transferred Entities belong to Purchaser and, following the Closing, Purchaser shall have full rights with respect thereto.

Section 12.14    No Recourse Against Non-Parties. (a) All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement), may be made only against (and subject to the terms and conditions thereof) the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto and thereto and (b) no Person who is not a named party to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or Representative of any named party to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement (“Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement or its negotiation or execution, and each party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this provision of this Agreement.

Section 12.15    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
