No other assets of the Business shall be transferred to Purchaser other than the Assets.

4.21 Solvency. The Seller and the Parent are financially solvent, and there are no known or threatened (nor have any actions or omissions occurred that could give rise to) liabilities that would render either the Seller or the Parent insolvent.

For the avoidance of doubt, following the expiration of such 180-day period, Seller may remove such domain names from its website.

6.2 Confidentiality. Seller and Parent shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or use at any time (and shall cause their respective representatives not to use or disclose) any Confidential Information (whether or not such information is or was developed by the Seller or Parent), except to the extent that such disclosure or use is required by law or as otherwise provided hereunder. Seller and Parent further agree to take commercially reasonable steps, to the extent within their respective control, to safeguard such Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. In the event the Seller or Parent is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller and Parent shall cause such party to promptly notify the Purchaser in writing, which notification shall include the nature of the legal requirement and the extent of the required disclosure and shall cooperate with the Purchaser’s reasonable attempts to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information consistent with applicable law. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information of a confidential or proprietary nature (whether or not specifically labeled or identified as “confidential”), in any form or medium, that relates to the MSP Business or its suppliers, distributors, customers, independent contractors or other business relations. Confidential Information includes the following as it relates to the MSP Business and, in each case, to the extent the MSP Business obtains a commercial benefit from the secret nature of such information: internal business information (including information relating to strategic and staffing plans and practices, business, training, marketing, promotional and sales plans and practices, cost, rate and pricing structures, accounting and business methods and potential acquisition candidates); identities of, individual requirements of, and specific contractual arrangements with, the MSP Business’s suppliers, distributors, customers, independent contractors or other business relations and their confidential information; trade secrets, know-how, compilations of data and analyses, techniques, systems, formulae, research, records, reports, manuals, documentation, models, data and databases relating thereto; and inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, and reports. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include such information which: (A) at the time of disclosure is publicly available or thereafter becomes publicly available through no act or omission of the Seller or Parent; (B) is thereafter disclosed or furnished to the Seller or Parent by a third party who is not known by the Seller or Parent to have acquired the information under an obligation of confidentiality; or (C) is disclosed by the Seller or Parent (subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this paragraph) under compulsion of applicable law.

MOREOVER, THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE KEPT STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BY THE SELLER AND PARENT AND SHALL NOT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH DISCLOSURE OR USE IS REQUIRED BY LAW, BE COMMUNICATED OR DISCLOSED BY THE SELLER OR PARENT TO ANY PERSON WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION OTHER PAST, PRESENT OR PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS OF THE SELLER OR PARENT AND ALL PERSONS WHO OWN ANY INTEREST IN THE SELLER OR PARENT THAT IS A LEGAL ENTITY; PROVIDED, THE SELLER OR PARENT MAY DISCLOSE SUCH INFORMATION TO THEIR PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS FOR PURPOSES OF PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE SELLER OR PARENT.

Page 14

6.3 Noncompete of Seller and Parent. Seller and Parent are familiar with the trade secrets related to the MSP Business and with other Confidential Information concerning the MSP Business, including all (A) technology, research, and development related to the MSP Business, (B) customers and clients, and customer and client lists related to the MSP Business, (C) products and services related to the MSP Business and related costs and pricing structures, (D) accounting and business methods and practices related to the MSP Business and (E) similar and related confidential information and trade secrets related to the MSP Business. Each of Seller and the Parent acknowledge and agree that the MSP Business would be irreparably damaged if the Seller or Parent were to directly or indirectly provide MSP related services to any person competing with the MSP Business or engaging in a similar business and that such direct or indirect competition by the Seller or Parent would result in a significant loss of goodwill by the MSP Business. In further consideration for the Purchaser’s payment of the Purchase Price under this Agreement (in respect of which payment each of the Seller and Parent expressly acknowledge that they derive a substantial and direct benefit), and in order to protect the value of the Assets purchased by the Purchaser hereunder (including the goodwill inherent in the MSP Business as of the date hereof), each of the Seller and the Parent hereby agree that until sixty (60) months from the Closing Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), the Seller and Parent shall not acquire or hold any economic or financial interest in, act as a partner, member, shareholder, or representative of, render any services to, or otherwise operate or hold an interest in any person who is engaged in the MSP Business having any location within a one hundred (100) mile radius of any of Seller’s and any Purchaser’s business address(s) at the time of Closing and any location in which Purchaser provides services during the Non-Competition Period; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit the Seller or Parent from purchasing up to an aggregate of two percent (2%) of any class of the outstanding voting securities of any entity whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange (but only if such investment is held on a purely passive basis).

6.4 Non-Disparagement. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Disparagement Period”), none of the Purchaser or the Seller or Parent shall, directly or indirectly, either individually or acting in concert with another person or persons make any negative, derogatory or disparaging statements or communications regarding any other Party, the MSP Business, or their respective Affiliates or representatives.

6.5 Non-Solicitation. Seller and Parent shall not during the Non-Competition Period, in any manner, directly, indirectly, individually, in partnership, jointly, or with any other person or entity, (i) recruit or solicit for hire or attempt to recruit, solicit or hire, on any of their behalves or on behalf of any other person, or encourage any third party to recruit, solicit or hire, any employee or consultant of Purchaser, (ii) encourage any employee or consultant of the Purchaser to discontinue his or her employment by Purchaser, (iii) solicit any customer of Seller who is or has been a customer on or prior to the Closing Date for the purpose of providing services similar to the MSP Business, or (iv) persuade or attempt to persuade any customer or supplier of Purchaser to terminate or modify such customer’s or supplier’s relationship with Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the foregoing shall not prevent the Seller from undertaking general solicitations of employment not specifically targeted at any of the foregoing employees.

(a) Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties of each Party contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date; except for the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.7, Section 4.11, and Section 4.12 (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) which shall survive until the greater of five (5) years or the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(b) Indemnification By Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 6.7, Seller and Parent shall, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates, and its respective shareholders, members, directors, managers, officers, and employees from and against all Losses arising from or relating to: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Seller contained in this Agreement or any other documents associated with this transaction (the “Transaction Documents”); (ii) any material breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Seller or Parent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (iii) any Excluded Asset, Specifically Excluded Liability, and any other Liability of Seller not expressly assumed by Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.2; (iv) any action by (or on behalf of) any third party based upon, resulting from, or arising out of the business, operations, properties, assets or obligations of Seller or any of its Affiliates conducted, existing, or arising on or prior to the Closing Date; and (v) any action by (or on behalf of) any third party based upon, resulting from, or arising out of the business, operations, properties, assets or obligations of Seller or any of its Affiliates conducted, existing, or arising on or prior to the following the Closing Date, to the extent the same relates to any portion of the Business other than the MSP Business. “Losses” means losses, damages, liabilities, loss of tax assets or attributes, deficiencies, actions, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs or similar expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers; provided, however, that “Losses” shall not include punitive damages, except to the extent actually awarded to a Governmental Entity or other third party or arising from fraud or willful misconduct of the indemnifying person.

(c) Indemnification By Purchaser. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 6.7, Purchaser shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, and its respective shareholders, directors, officers, and employees from and against all Losses arising from or relating to: (i) any material inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (ii) any material breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or (iii) the use or operation of any Asset following the Closing.

Page 16

(d) Materiality. For purposes of this Article 6.7, any inaccuracy in, breach or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty and the calculation of any Losses in connection therewith, shall be determined without regard to any “materiality,” “material adverse effect,” or other similar qualification or exception contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation, warranty or covenant.

(e) Indemnification Procedures. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly provide written notice of such claim to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”). In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any Action by a person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense and upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, may assume the defense of any such Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Action, with its counsel and at its own cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Action, the Indemnified Party may, but shall not be obligated to, defend against such Action in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such Action, after giving notice of it to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate and no action taken by the Indemnified Party in accordance with such defense and settlement shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations herein provided with respect to any damages resulting therefrom. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Action without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(f) Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 6.7(b)(i) shall be subject to the foregoing limitations and provisions:

(i) Seller and Parent shall not be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party under Section 6.7(b)(i) for any Losses, unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses for which indemnification is being claimed equals or exceeds $25,000, in which case Seller and Parent shall be liable from the first dollar.

(ii) Seller and Parent shall not be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party under Section 6.7(b)(i) for any Losses exceeding $250,000.

(iii) Seller and Parent shall not be liable for any Losses under Section 6.7(b)(i) based upon a multiple of earnings, profits, revenues, or other metric, except to the extent Purchaser is required to pay the same to a third-party in connection with a matter in respect of which Purchaser is entitled to indemnity under Section 6.7(b)(i).

(iv) The limitations set forth in this Section 6.7(f)(i)-(iii) shall not apply to any breach of any of the Fundamental Representation or in the case of fraud or willful misconduct.

(v) Except in the case of fraud, the maximum aggregate Liability of Seller and Parent for Losses in respect of which claims for indemnification are made under Section 6.7(b)(i) and Section 6.7(b)(ii) shall not exceed the Purchase Price. For purposes of this Section 6.7(f)(v), Seller and Parent shall be deemed to be the same Indemnifying Party.

Page 17

6.8 Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. Seller and the Parent acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of Section 6.2, Section 6.3, Section 6.4, and Section 6.5, Purchaser would suffer irreparable harm, no adequate remedy at law would exist for Purchaser, and damages would be difficult to determine. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, Purchaser or its 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 or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof. In the event it becomes necessary for Purchaser to seek injunctive relief as described herein, and in the event that Purchaser is required to post bond related to such relief, the Parties hereto agree and acknowledge that One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) is a reasonable and appropriate amount for such bond.

6.9 Straddle Periods. The parties agree that in the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any taxes in the nature of personal property, real property or other ad valorem taxes imposed on the Assets which relate to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) shall be deemed to be the amount of such tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by the fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. Seller shall be liable for the portion of all such taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and Purchaser shall be liable for the remaining portion of such taxes. The foregoing shall apply to all other tax payments that cover a period beginning prior to the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, including without limitation, tax payments for real and personal property acquired by, or used by, Purchaser after the Closing.

6.10 Customer and Other MSP Business Relationships. Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in its efforts to continue and to maintain for its benefit, those business relationships of Seller existing prior to the Closing and relating to or necessary for the MSP Business, including, without limitation, the relationships with representatives, governmental authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers and others of Seller. Seller will refer to Purchaser all inquiries relating to the MSP Business after the Closing Date. Seller will not (and it will cause its representatives not to) take any action that could diminish the value of the Assets or Purchaser after the Closing Date or that would interfere with the MSP Business or Purchaser after the Closing Date.

6.11 Offset. Purchaser shall have the right to deduct or offset any amounts payable to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement from or against any amounts payable by Purchaser to Seller or any amounts due to Seller under this Agreement, including, if applicable, the Earnout Payment.

6.12 Referrals. During the Non-Competition Period, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly refer to Purchaser any customer of Seller or any potential customer who contacts Seller seeking IT support, managed IT services, or IT consulting.

Page 18

6.13 Valid Customer Credits. In the event (i) a customer of the MSP Business claims they are entitled to an offset or a credit relating to an invoice for services that were performed, or were invoiced as being performed (but were not performed), on or after June 1, 2024 and prior to the Closing and (ii) Purchaser determines in its commercially reasonable discretion that such claim is valid and applies the requested credit or offset for the benefit of such customer, then within five (5) business days’ following written notice from Purchaser of such claim, Seller and/or Parent shall reimburse Purchaser for the amount of such credit or offset, provided that such credit or offset shall not exceed the amount, net of any previously issued credits of offsets, that Seller previously invoiced for such services.

6.14 Transition Service; AR Collection. Seller agrees to invoice all customers of the MSP Business on behalf of Purchaser for services provided by Purchaser during the month of October 2024, in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices. If Seller receives any payments for these invoices (or for any subsequent invoices), Seller agrees to remit payment to Purchaser within 3 business days of its receipt thereof.

6.15 Enforcement Rights. With respect to any Warranties (or contracts in which such Warranties are contained) that are only transferable with the consent of the applicable counterparty (a “Consent”) and such Consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, such Warranties (and the related contracts) shall be held by Seller in trust for Purchaser and all benefits and obligations derived thereunder shall be for and on the account of Purchaser; provided, however, that where entitlement of Purchaser to such Warranty (or contract) is not recognized by the applicable counterparty, the Seller shall, at the request and sole cost of Purchaser, enforce Seller’s rights under same for the benefit of Purchaser and pay Purchaser the proceeds of the same if and when received by Seller.

6.16 Good Standing Status. Promptly following Closing, but no later than 30 days thereafter, Parent shall take all actions necessary to restore Parent’s good standing with the State of Delaware, including without limitation by filing all outstanding reports and filings required by any applicable governmental authority, paying all outstanding fees, penalties and taxes owed and complying with any other actions required under applicable law. Parent shall provide a certificate of good standing to Purchaser within 30 days following Closing, evidencing compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 6.16 and its good standing with the State of Delaware.
