Such cooperation and information shall include, but not be limited to, each Party, and is employees, providing

copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with 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, which any such Party may possess.

Buyer (i) shall keep Seller apprised of the progress of such Tax Contest, and (ii) shall afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to participate, at Seller’s expense, in the conduct of such Contest. Nothing in this Section 6(g) shall relieve Seller of its indemnification obligations under Section 6(a) or otherwise under this Agreement.

(8)Treatment of Tax Indemnification Payments. Each Party will treat all payments made pursuant to this Section 6 as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

(9)Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 6 shall survive sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

The indemnification rights under this Section 6 are independent of and in addition to such rights and remedies as the Parties may have at law or in equity or otherwise, including pursuant to Section 7(b), for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or failure to fulfill any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement on the part of any Party hereto, including the right to seek specific performance, recession or restitution, none of which rights or remedies shall be affected or diminished hereby.

All of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (regardless of any investigation by or on behalf of the damaged Party or the Knowledge of any Party) and shall continue in full force and effect until the Applicable Limitation Date or, in the case of the Specified Seller Indemnity Matter or the Specified Buyer Indemnity Matter, indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if notice of an indemnification claim shall have been given to the Party against whom an indemnity may be sought under this Section 7, the claim for indemnity with respect thereto shall survive the Applicable Limitation Date until such claim is finally and conclusively resolved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or in the case of the Specified Seller Indemnity Matter or the Specified Buyer Indemnity Matter, indefinitely. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Applicable Limitation Date” shall be the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided that (i) the Applicable Limitation Date with respect to any Loss arising from or related to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4(a) (Organization; Capitalization), Section 4(b) (Authorization of Transaction), Section 4(c) (Noncontravention), Section 4(x) (Brokers’ Fees), Section 5(a) (Organization), Section 5(b) (Authorization of Transaction), Section 5(c) (Noncontravention), and Section 5(d) (Brokers’ Fees) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall be the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof); and (ii) the Applicable Limitation Date with respect to any Loss arising from or related to a breach of any covenant or agreement of a Party in this Agreement with a stated term shall be the date upon which such term expires, and the Applicable Limitation Date with respect to any Loss arising from or related to a breach of any covenant or agreement of a Party in this Agreement that does not, by its terms, expire on a date certain, shall be the date upon which such covenant or agreement is fully performed. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7(a) to the contrary, with respect to (A) any breach of any representation or warranty by the Company or a Seller set forth in this Agreement that constitutes fraud, or (B) any breach of any representation or warranty by Buyer set forth in this Agreement that constitutes fraud, such representation or warranty shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall continue in full force and effect until the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof). No notice of a claim with respect to a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant may be given after the applicable times set forth above.

(a)Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its directors, managers, officers, equityholders, employees and Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) (collectively, as the case may be, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), against any claim, assertion, loss, liability, deficiency, damage, Tax or expense, including reasonable legal expenses and costs associated therewith (each, a “Loss”), which they may suffer, sustain or become subject to as the result of (A) the breach of any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement, (B) the breach by Seller of any covenant or agreement made by Seller in this Agreement, and (C) any Indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the Closing Date that is not paid in full at the Closing or any Transaction Expenses that have not been paid off by Seller in full (provided that this Section 7(b)(i) shall not derogate from Seller Indemnified Parties’ rights or recoveries pursuant to Section 7(b)(ii) below).

(b)Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its directors, officers, equityholders, employees and Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against any Losses which they may suffer, sustain or become subject to as the result of (A) the breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer in this Agreement, (B) the breach by Buyer of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer in this Agreement, (C) the Company terminating any of its employees following the Closing as a result of

actions taken by the Buyer or its Affiliates after the Closing, or (D) the Specified Buyer Indemnity Matters (provided that this Section 7(b)(ii) shall not derogate from Buyer Indemnified Parties’ rights or recoveries pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) above).

(c)For purposes of Section 7(b)(i) and Section 7(b)(ii), in calculating the amount of any Loss with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty (but for avoidance of doubt, not in determining whether there has been a breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty), all qualifications in such representation or warranty referencing the terms “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or other terms of similar import or effect shall be disregarded.

(d)Any Person making a claim for indemnification under this Section 7(b) (an “Indemnified Party”) must give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim describing such claim and the nature and amount of the Loss, to the extent that the nature and amount thereof are determinable at such time (a “Claim Notice”) within twenty (20) days after the Indemnified Party receives notice from a third party with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or otherwise discovers the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure to notify or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7(b), except to the extent such claim is materially prejudiced as a result thereof. The Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and all related facts and circumstances, the Indemnified Party’s best estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to such claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Section 7. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of such matter; provided that (A) the Indemnifying Party shall retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, (B) the Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such claim, at its own expense, with co-counsel of its choice to the extent that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that such matter shall affect its ongoing business and (C) the Indemnifying Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter which does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability and obligations with respect thereto. If, within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such matter, the Indemnified Party may defend against the matter in any manner that it reasonably may deem appropriate, but shall not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in all matters arising under this Section 7(b).

(g)The Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party in immediately available funds promptly after either the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party mutually agree that the Indemnifying Party is liable for such Loss and agree on the amount of such indemnifiable Loss or there is a final, nonappealable judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction determining such Indemnifying Party liability and amount of indemnifiable Loss with respect to such claim (collectively, a “Final Indemnification Determination”). The Buyer Indemnified Party shall be required first to offset any amounts owed by Seller pursuant to this Section 7(b) against amounts owed under the Promissory Note but only after there has been a Final Indemnification Determination with respect to amounts owed by Seller under this Section 7(b), as more particularly provided in the Promissory Note.

(h)Nothing herein shall limit or impair any Party’s right to obtain specific performance or other injunctive relief with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 7(b)(i)(A), unless and until the aggregate Losses suffered by all Buyer Indemnified Parties that would otherwise be subject to indemnification under Section 7(b)(i)(A) exceeds the sum of $125,000 (the “Deductible Amount”), and then such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for all of its Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to Losses suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising from a breach of any of the Fundamental Representations.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate liability of Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under this Section 7 shall be limited to and shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to Losses suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising from (i) a breach of any of the Fundamental Representations, which shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Purchase Price; or (ii) actual fraud on the part of Seller or any of its Affiliates, which shall not be subject to any cap.

(4)Calculation of Damages. In calculating the amount of the Losses to any Indemnified Party under Section 7(a) and Section 7(b), the amount of Losses will be net of (i) any amounts recoverable by the Indemnified Party (net of reasonable and documented costs incurred by the Indemnified Party to recover such amounts) from any third party (including insurance proceeds) as a result of the facts or circumstances giving rise to the Losses and (ii) any Tax benefits or Tax losses that are actually realized by the Indemnified Party as a result of the incurrence of Losses from which indemnification is sought (such amounts referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 7(d), net of any reasonable and documented costs incurred by the Indemnified Party in collecting such amounts, a “Reimbursement”). The Indemnified Parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to pursue payment under or from any insurer or third-party in respect of such Losses. If any Reimbursement is obtained subsequent to payment to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses, then to the extent the amount of the Reimbursement plus the amount previously paid by the indemnifying party toward such Losses exceeds the total amount of such Losses, such excess Reimbursement shall be promptly paid over to the Indemnifying Party.

(5)No Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to or otherwise responsible to any Indemnified Party for consequential, incidental, special, unforeseen, exemplary or punitive damages, lost profits or for diminution in value that arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the performance or breach thereof or any liability retained or assumed hereunder, except with respect to indemnification for third party claims.

(6)Exclusive Remedy. Except for any equitable relief to which any Party hereto may be entitled from and after the Closing or in the case of fraud, the indemnification provisions of Section 6, this Section 7, and such other indemnification provisions as are expressly set forth in this Agreement, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and no Party shall pursue or seek to pursue any other remedy. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it or any of its Affiliates (including the Company with respect to Buyer after the Closing, and with respect to Seller prior to the Closing) may have against the other Party arising under or based upon any law.

(1)Press Releases. The Parties agree that no press release or other public announcement (including in any trade journal or other publication) of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be made without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable law, including the applicable law of any United States or foreign securities exchange.

(2)Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Party shall be solely responsible for and shall bear all of its own costs and expenses incident to its obligations under and in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(3)Confidentiality. The Parties shall keep confidential, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates, advisors, and agents to keep confidential, all information and materials regarding any other Party and the terms and provisions of this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other Party or as required by law; provided, however, that a Party may disclose such information to its or his legal counsel, accountants, financial planners and/or other advisors on an as-needed basis so long as any such Person is bound by a confidentiality obligation with respect thereto. Following the Closing, Seller shall treat and hold as confidential any information concerning the Business and/or the affairs of the Company, including the terms and provisions of this Agreement, that is not already generally available to the public (the “Confidential Information”) and refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement unless (i) it is generally available to the public, (ii) becomes generally available to the public after the Closing Date other than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise permissible hereunder, (iii) is received from a third party not under an obligation of confidentiality to the Company, (iv) is independently developed without reliance on Confidential Information, (v) disclosure is required by legal process, or (vi) the disclosure of such Confidential Information is necessary to protect, enforce or defend the rights of Seller under this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith (and only to the extent necessary to protect, enforce or defend the rights of Seller under this Agreement or such other agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8(c) shall be construed as prohibiting any Party from disclosing Confidential Information (a) to its legal counsel, accountants, financial planners and/or advisors on an as-needed basis so long as any such Person is bound by a confidentiality obligation with respect thereto, (b) as may be necessary to assert its rights under this Agreement or each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or (c) otherwise in connection with any proceeding relating to this Agreement or any each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby.

(4)Further Assurances. As a material obligation of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, from time to time after the Closing, each Party shall at its own expense (i) cooperate with the other Parties, (ii) perform any further act and (iii) execute and deliver such documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by the other Parties in order to effectuate any transaction, act or agreement contemplated by this Agreement.

(a)Effective upon the Closing, except with respect to a claim arising out of this Agreement, any other agreement entered into in connection herewith or any rights to be indemnified, reimbursed and held harmless pursuant to Section 7, Seller, on behalf of itself and each of the Seller Released Parties (collectively, the “Seller Releasors”), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and forever discharges the Company Releasors and each of their past and present directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, assigns, equityholders, partners, insurers, and Affiliates (each, a “Company Released Party”) from any and all liabilities of any kind or nature

whatsoever, in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, and the Seller Releasors shall not seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from the Company or other Company Released Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller waives all rights under California Civil Code Section 1542 (or any similar provision of any other state or foreign law), which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

Such released liabilities shall include any right to recover against the Company for any indemnification claims made against or paid by Seller pursuant to Section 6, Section 7, or other indemnification provisions in this Agreement. Seller understands that this is a full and final release of all claims, demands, causes of action and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether or not known, suspected or claimed, that could have been asserted in any legal or equitable proceeding against the Company, except as expressly set forth in this Section 8(e)(i). Seller represents that it is not aware of any claim by it other than the claims that are waived, released and forever discharged by this Section 8(e)(i).

(b)Effective upon the Closing, except with respect to a claim arising out of this Agreement, any other agreement entered into in connection herewith or any rights to be indemnified, reimbursed and held harmless pursuant to Section 6 or Section 7, the Company, on behalf of itself and each of the Company Released Parties (collectively, the “Company Releasors”), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and forever discharges the Seller Releasors and each of their past and present directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, assigns, equityholders, partners, insurers, and Affiliates (each, a “Seller Released Party”) from any and all liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, and the Company Releasors shall not seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from the Seller or other Seller Released Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company waives all rights under California Civil Code Section 1542 (or any similar provision of any other state or foreign law), which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

The Company understands that this is a full and final release of all claims, demands, causes of action and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether or not known, suspected or claimed, that could have been asserted in any legal or equitable proceeding against Seller, except as expressly set forth in this Section 8(e)(ii). The Company represents that it is not aware of any claim by it other than the claims that are waived, released and forever discharged by this Section 8(e)(ii).

(6)Non-Competition. As a material inducement to Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, during the Non-Compete Period, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, Seller, on behalf of itself, and its Affiliates, agrees not to, directly or indirectly, either for itself or for any other Person, own, manage, control, invest in, permit its name to be used by, act as consultant or

advisor to, or render services for, any Person engaged directly or indirectly in the Business anywhere in North America; provided that neither (A) the ownership by Seller of less than 1% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation nor (B) the ownership by Seller as a passive investment any private equity funds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds and similar collective investment vehicles that may, in turn, invest in competitors of the Company so long as such Seller is not otherwise in violation of the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be engaging solely by reason thereof in any of their respective businesses. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 8(f) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. The term “Non-Compete Period” means the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date.

(7)Non-Solicitation. Seller agrees that, during the Non-Compete Period, it (A) shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, contact, approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) any Person employed by the Company during the Non-Compete Period, without the prior written consent of Buyer; and (B) shall not induce or attempt to induce any customer or other business relation of the Company into any business relationship competitive with the Business; provided, however, that this Section 8(g) (i) shall not apply to any such Person who has left the employment or engagement of the Company for more than three (3) months and no activity otherwise prohibited by this Section 8(g) shall have occurred prior to such Person’s departure (it being understood that if any such Person’s service is discontinued by the Company, and not by such Person, then Seller shall be permitted to hire or engage such Person and such three (3)-month period shall not apply), and (ii) shall not prohibit general solicitations for employment through advertisements or other means not specifically directed toward any employees of the Company.

(8)Non-Disparagement. Seller agrees not to make any oral or written statement (including via the internet or social media) that disparages the Company or the Business or portrays them in a false or negative light or that has, or is intended to have, a negative effect on the reputation or business of the Company or the Business; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 8(h) shall prevent any Seller from (i) testifying in any action or proceeding or otherwise making any statement in connection with an action or proceeding or legal filing not made in bad faith, (ii) communicating with any agent or employee of the United States government or any of its agencies or any member of the United States Congress, or (iii) seeking to enforce such Seller’s rights under this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection herewith.

(9)Remedy for Breach. Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of Section 8(f), Section 8(g), or Section 8(h), monetary damages may not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, Buyer, the Company or their respective successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance, injunctive relief, or both, or seek any other equitable remedies available to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (including the extension of the Non-Compete Period by a period equal to (A) the length of the violation of Section 8(f), Section 8(g), or Section 8(h) plus (B) the length of any court proceedings necessary to stop such violation), in each case without the requirement of posting a bond.

(10)Specific Performance. Seller acknowledges that the Company is unique and recognize and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any such Person, money damages

may be inadequate and Buyer may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Seller agrees that Buyer shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in Buyer’s favor, to seek to enforce Buyer’s rights hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief. If any such action is brought by Buyer to enforce this Agreement, Seller hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

(11)D&O Indemnification. Clever and Seller covenant to maintain the directors and officers insurance coverage in existence as of the Closing Date, with respect to insuring the directors and officers of the Company, for a period of thirty-six (36) months following the Closing Date.

(a)except for cause, the Company shall not terminate the employment of, or materially reduce the compensation or benefits payable to any of the employees of the Company for a period of forty five (45) days, commencing on the day following the Closing Date;

(b)Seller represents and warrants that all employees of the Company are employed on an at-will basis and no sale, change-of-control, “stay-around,” retention, or similar bonuses or payments to current or former directors, managers, officers, employees and other service providers of the Company are payable as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including any severance or other payments payable to any employee or other service provider of the Company in connection with such Person’s employment with the Company terminating prior to or within six (6) months following the Closing Date. Seller further represents and warrants that there are no employee equity options or other equity-based awards to acquire equity of the Company; and

(a)The Parties agree that any amount arising from, or attributed to, the Company’s sale of its production assets to the Co-Packer, pursuant to the Co-Packer Sales Agreement, including, but not limited to the deferred payment installment in the amount of $95,000 expected to be paid by the Co-Packer to NSUS on or about May 23, 2025, and the deferred payment installment in the amount of $95,000 expected to be paid by the Co-Packer to NSUS on or about August 21, 2024 (collectively, the “Co-Packer Proceeds”), are the rightful property of NSUS. In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates receive any amount arising from, or attributed to, the Co-Packer Proceeds, then Buyer shall notify Seller within five (5) days of its receipt of such Co-Packer Proceeds and shall remit to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Co-Packer Proceeds within fifteen (15) days of Buyer’s receipt thereof.

(b)The Parties agree that any amount arising from, or attributed to, the return of the Company’s security deposit in connection with the Double G Lease Agreement, in the amount of up to $35,121.52 (the “Security Deposit”) shall be delivered to Buyer, and should Seller or its Affiliates receive any amount arising from, or attributed to, the Security Deposit, then Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer an amount equal to such amount received.

(15)Conduct of Business After Closing. Unless Seller shall otherwise consent in writing, during the period commencing with the Closing Date and terminating upon the earlier of the termination of the Promissory Note or the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause

the Company not to do or cause to be done any of the following: (i) sell, assign, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any material tangible or intangible, real property, personal property or Intellectual Property owned by the Company, except in the ordinary course of business, (ii) except in the ordinary course of business, create any Lien on any assets or properties (whether tangible or intangible) of the Company (other than Permitted Liens), (iii) materially change the nature of the Business as conducted immediately prior to Closing, (iv) issue or sell any additional shares of capital stock of or other equity interests in the Company, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of or other equity interests in the Company, or issue or grant any options, warrants, calls, subscription rights or other rights of any kind to acquire additional shares of capital stock of or other equity interests in the Company, or (v) enter into any agreement to take, or cause to be taken, any of the actions set forth in this Section 8(o).

This Agreement (including the documents referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

(3)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties; provided, however, that Buyer may (i) assign any of its rights and interests hereunder to any Affiliate of Buyer or any successor to Buyer, the Company or the Business and (ii) assign its rights under this Agreement to any lender (or agent on behalf of such lenders) as collateral security for the obligations of Buyer to such lenders; provided, further, that if Buyer so assigns this Agreement, Buyer shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder in respect of any such assignment.

(8)Consent to Jurisdiction. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EXCLUSIVELY LIE IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE. BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT, AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH ACTION.

(9)Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

(10)Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the Parties.

(11)Incorporation of Appendices, Exhibits and Schedules. The appendices, exhibits and schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

(12)Legal Fees. If any Party brings an action to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action.

(13)Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of any Party are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such Party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

a.Each Party agrees that such Party has been individually represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement (including those sections regarding the governing law, venue and jurisdiction) and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein (or is otherwise entitled to indemnification) in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant (including any indemnification provision) relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such Party has not breached ( or is not otherwise entitled to indemnification with respect thereto) shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant (or is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to a different provision).

b.Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein (such as by using the word “including”), such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms.
