UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of October 30, 2023 by and among PCS Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), Instructure, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), Brentwood Associates Private Equity VI-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Merit Seller”), BA VI Merit Blocker, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merit”), Brentwood Associates Opportunities Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“BAO Seller”), Brentwood Associates Opportunities Blocker, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BAO”), Towers Watson Investment Management Master Trust Ireland a/c Towers Watson Partners Master Fund, (“WTW”), GCP Equity Ltd., (“GCP”), Golub Capital CP Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (“Golub” and collectively with WTW and GCP, “Pathway Seller”, and together with Merit Seller and BAO Seller, the “Blocker Sellers”, and each individually, a “Blocker Seller”), BA Pathway Co-Investors Blocker, LLC (“Pathway”, and together with Merit and BAO, the “Blockers”, and each individually, a “Blocker”), the Sellers listed on the signature pages hereto (each individually, a “Seller”, and collectively with Merit Seller, BAO Seller and Pathway Seller, the “Selling Parties”), and Brentwood Seller, solely in its capacity as representative for the Selling Parties (the “Seller Representative”). Purchaser, the Company, the Blockers and the Selling Parties are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”, and individually as a “Party”.

WHEREAS, the outstanding equity of the Company consists of all of the issued and outstanding Class A Units and Class B Units (collectively, the “Units”);

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Merit Seller owns, of record and beneficially, all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Merit (the “Merit Equity”);

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, BAO Seller owns, of record and beneficially, all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of BAO (the “BAO Equity”);

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Pathway Seller owns, of record and beneficially, all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Pathway (the “Pathway Equity”, and together with the Merit Equity and BAO Equity, the “Blocker Equity”);

WHEREAS, as of immediately prior to the Closing, (i) the Blockers shall directly own, of record and beneficially, a portion of the Units as set forth on Schedule 1 (the “Blocker Owned Units”); and (ii) the Sellers other than Blocker Sellers shall own, of record and beneficially, all of the remaining Units, other than the Blocker Owned Units as set forth on Schedule 1 (the “Company Units”, and together with the Blocker Equity, the “Purchased Units”);

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser desires to purchase from the Selling Parties, and the Selling Parties, other than the Blockers, desire to sell to Purchaser, all of the Company Units held by such Selling Parties as of the Closing, which comprise all of the issued and outstanding Units as of the Closing, other than the Units held by the Blockers, for the consideration described herein (the “Company Acquisition”);

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser desires to purchase from Blocker Sellers, and Blocker Sellers desire to sell to Purchaser,

the Blocker Equity for the consideration described herein (the “Blocker Acquisition”, and together with the Company Acquisition, the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, following the consummation of the Transaction, Purchaser will own directly or indirectly (through its ownership of the Blockers), all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company;

WHEREAS, as a condition and material inducement to Purchaser’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain Sellers set forth on Schedule 1.2(i) have entered into and delivered to Purchaser a Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement (the “Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement”) at signing which will be effective at Closing; and

WHEREAS, as a condition and material inducement to Purchaser’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain Persons set forth on Schedule 1.2(ii) have entered into and delivered to Purchaser a Restrictive Covenant Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreements”) at signing which will be effective at Closing.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein and the other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale.

1.1 Sale, Purchase, and Exchange of Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall, at the Closing, purchase and acquire from the Selling Parties, and the Selling Parties shall sell, assign, contribute, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens (excluding any restrictions imposed by securities laws), the Purchased Units set forth on Schedule 1, as follows:

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser agrees to purchase and accept from each Blocker Seller, and each Blocker Seller agrees to sell, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions that may, following the Closing, be applicable on any subsequent transfer by Purchaser under applicable securities laws and Permitted Liens), all of the Blocker Equity held by such Blocker Seller.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser agrees to purchase and accept from each of the Sellers (other than the Blocker Sellers), and each of the Sellers (other than the Blocker Sellers) agrees to sell, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, severally and not jointly, and free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions that may, following the Closing, be applicable on any subsequent transfer by Purchaser under applicable securities laws and Permitted Liens), all of the Company Units.

1.2 Purchase Price. Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 1.3, the consideration for the Purchased Units (such as-adjusted amount, the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Base Consideration Amount, plus (ii) the Closing Cash, minus (iii) the Closing Indebtedness, minus (iv) the Company Transaction Expenses, minus (v) the Escrow Amount, each as estimated and set forth in the Closing Certificate in accordance with Section 1.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Blocker has any Closing Cash or Indebtedness as of the Closing, such amount will adjust the proceeds payable to the applicable Blocker Seller holding the Blocker Equity of such Blocker as of immediately prior to the Closing (and not any other Selling Party) and only such Blocker Seller shall bear the burden of, or receive the benefit of, such adjustment, which will be reflected in the closing proceeds payable to such applicable Blocker Seller.

1.3 Cash, Debt and Transaction Expenses Estimates. At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall estimate in good faith the amount of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Company Transaction Expenses, and the resulting Purchase Price, respectively, and shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) setting forth such estimates together with reasonable supporting documentation, including each of the components thereof. As used herein, “Estimated Closing Cash,” “Estimated Closing Indebtedness” and “Estimated Company Transaction Expenses” mean the estimates of the Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Company Transaction Expenses, respectively, set forth in the Closing Certificate, and “Estimated Purchase Price” means the Purchase Price calculated as set forth in Section 1.2, in each case calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles as set forth on Annex A and the definitions set forth herein. Purchaser and their representatives, including Purchaser’s independent accountants, will be entitled to review, during normal business hours, all work papers of the Company Group and their representatives, including its independent accountants, prepared in connection with the delivery of the Closing Certificate. The Closing Certificate shall include a funds flow statement (the “Funds Flow Statement”), setting forth with respect to the Selling Parties and each Person to whom any Company Transaction Expenses and Closing Indebtedness is payable or due at Closing, the amounts payable to each such Person in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and payment instructions with respect to each such payee. The Company shall consider in good faith any comments made by Purchaser to the Closing Certificate or the Funds Flow Statement prior to the Closing; provided that, the failure of the Company to implement such comments made by Purchaser shall not delay or otherwise prevent the Closing. To the extent the Company agrees to any such revisions, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a revised Closing Certificate or Funds Flow Statement, as applicable, reflecting such revisions, which revised Closing Certificate or Funds Flow Statement, as applicable, shall (x) be deemed to have been delivered at the time the Company delivered the initial Closing Certificate or Funds Flow Statement, as applicable, and (y) be used as the “Closing Certificate” or “Funds Flow Statement”, as applicable, for all purposes hereof and for purposes of determining any items set forth therein at the Closing. All payments hereunder to the Sellers (including each Selling Party’s Pro Rata Share) will be made in accordance with the Funds Flow Statement which shall give effect to the distribution and other provisions of the Company’s and the Blockers’ Organizational Documents in effect immediately prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser and its Affiliates, including, following the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries, and each of their respective representatives, shall be entitled to conclusively and definitively rely on, without any obligation to investigate or verify the accuracy, inaccuracy or correctness thereof, and without any liability, the allocation of proceeds set forth in the Funds Flow Statement as of the Closing, which shall be binding and enforceable against the Sellers and their Affiliates.

1.4 Post-Closing Statement and Adjustment Losses.

(a) Post-Closing Statement. Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative (on behalf of all of the Sellers) a post-closing adjustment statement of the Company, setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the amount of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Company Transaction Expenses, and the Purchase Price (the “Post-Closing Statement”), calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles as set forth on Annex A and the definitions set forth herein.

(b) Following the delivery of the Post-Closing Statement to the Seller Representative, subject to customary confidentiality undertakings (including the execution of any required access letters), Purchaser shall afford the Seller Representative and its representatives the reasonable opportunity during normal operating hours and without business disruption to electronically examine the statements and such supporting schedules, analyses, workpapers, and other underlying records or documentation as are reasonably necessary and appropriate and discuss the same with the appropriate representatives of the Company Group responsible for the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with the Seller Representative in such examination. If within 30 days following delivery of such statements to the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative has not delivered to Purchaser a written objection notice setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons for which the Seller Representative does not agree with the calculation of the Post-Closing Statement, including, to the extent reasonably quantifiable, a quantification of each disputed amount set forth therein (the “Objection Notice”), then the Post-Closing Statement shall be extended in the case of any undue delay by Purchaser in providing Seller Representative access to its books and records, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by Purchaser to the extent they relate to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and such historical financial information, for each day that Purchaser delays in providing Seller Representative such access. Any component of the Post-Closing Statement that is not disputed in an Objection Notice shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the Seller Representative delivers the objection notice within such period, then Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the objections. In the event Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to agree on the Post-Closing Statement calculations after good faith negotiations for a period of 30 days, the remaining disputes will be resolved pursuant to Section 1.5.

(c) Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Purchase Price (as finally determined) is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price (such excess amount, if any, the “Excess Amount”), then Purchaser shall pay, within 10 Business Days after the final determination of such Excess Amount, to the Disbursing Agent, for payment to the Selling Parties, in accordance with each Selling Party’s Pro Rata Share, an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Excess Amount and (y) an amount equal to the Escrow Amount, and Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release all of the funds in the Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts designated by the Disbursing Agent, for payment to the Selling Parties, in accordance with each Selling Party’s Pro Rata Share. If the Purchase Price (as finally determined) is less than the Estimated Purchase Price (such shortfall amount, if any, the “Shortfall Amount”), then, within 10 Business Days of the final determination of such shortfall, Seller Representative and Purchaser shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent

to release an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount from the Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, any then-remaining amounts in the Escrow Account shall represent Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any Shortfall Amount. If any funds remain in the Escrow Account after the release of funds to Purchaser in accordance with this Section, Purchaser and Seller Representative shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release all such remaining funds in the Escrow Account to the Disbursing Agent, for payment to accounts designated by the Selling Parties, in accordance with each Selling Party’s Pro Rata Share. All payments that are to be made to the Selling Parties pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) shall be made in accordance with a funds flow statement (the “Post-Closing Funds Flow Statement”) prepared by the Seller Representative, which shall set forth with respect to each Selling Party the portion of the aggregate payment due to the Selling Parties as a whole that such Selling Party is entitled to receive and payment instructions with respect to each such payee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries, and each of their respective representatives, shall be entitled to conclusively and definitively rely on, without any obligation to investigate or verify the accuracy, inaccuracy or correctness thereof, and without any liability, the allocation of proceeds set forth in the Post-Closing Funds Flow Statement, which shall be binding and enforceable against the Sellers and their Affiliates.

1.5 Accounting Dispute Resolution. If there are remaining disputes under Section 1.4(a), Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller Representative, on the other hand, shall submit the disputed items (and only the disputed items) for resolution to an independent, nationally recognized accounting or consulting firm mutually appointed by Purchaser and the Seller Representative (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), who shall determine and report to the Parties and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties hereto. The Independent Accounting Firm shall determine any disputed items within 30 days after such disputed items are submitted to it or such longer time period as mutually agreed to by the Parties. If any disputed items are submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution, (i) the proceedings shall be held virtually, (ii) each party shall furnish to the Independent Accounting Firm such workpapers and other documents and information relating to such objections as the Independent Accounting Firm may reasonably request and are available to that party or its Affiliates (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such determination with the Independent Accounting Firm, (iii) the Independent Accounting Firm shall determine each disputed item separately (based on the determination that most closely complies with the terms of this Agreement) but shall not assign a value to any disputed item that is greater than the greatest value for such disputed item assigned to it by either party or less than the smallest value for such disputed item assigned to it by either party as set forth in the Objection Notice or the Post-Closing Statement and (iv) the Independent Accounting Firm shall make its calculation of the disputed items in accordance with this Agreement and shall set forth such calculation in reasonable detail in a written notice and deliver such notice to both Parties, and such calculation shall (except in the case of Fraud or manifest error) be binding and conclusive on the Parties and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accounting Firm shall only resolve the disputed items submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm, and shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator. Purchaser and the Selling Parties shall each bear their own fees

and expenses in connection with any such proceeding; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Selling Parties, on the other hand, such that the amount paid by Purchaser bears the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount unsuccessfully disputed by Purchaser bears to the total dollar amount of the disputed items that were submitted for resolution to the Independent Accounting Firm, and the Selling Parties shall pay the balance. For purposes of illustration only, if the impact on the Purchase Price set forth in the Post-Closing Statement of the items disputed would be $1,000 as calculated by Selling Parties and $900 as calculated by Purchaser and as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm the impact is $960, then the Selling Parties would bear forty percent (40%) of the fees of the Independent Accounting Firm and Purchaser would bear sixty percent (60%), because the amount disputed was $100 and the amount unsuccessfully disputed by Purchaser was $40.

1.6 Closing and Deliveries.

(a) Closing. The sale of the Purchased Units set forth in Section 1.1 (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures (i) on the fifth Business Day after (but not including) the date that all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 7 (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions on the Closing Date) shall have been satisfied or waived by the Party or Parties entitled to waive the same; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will the Closing occur without Purchaser’s consent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion) prior to the date that is 45 days after the date hereof; or (ii) at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed between Purchaser and the Company. The date upon which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

(b) Selling Parties/Company Deliveries. At the Closing, the Selling Parties, the Blockers and/or the Company shall deliver to Purchaser:

(iii) A certificate of the Secretary of the Company or the Blockers, as applicable, certifying (A) the Organizational Documents of the Company or the Blockers, as applicable, and (B) resolutions of the members of the Company or the Blockers, as applicable, approving the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Agreements.

(v) A certificate of good standing or certificate of fact with respect to each member of the Company Group, as of a date within ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date from the Secretary of State (or other authorized Person, if applicable) in each state or other jurisdiction where such Person is incorporated, organized or qualified to do business.

(vi) A duly executed signature page by Seller Representative to the Escrow Agreement.

(vii) (A) At least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, executed customary payoff letters in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser (drafts of which will be provided to Purchaser at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date) (each, a “Payoff Letter”) from each holder of any Payoff Indebtedness set forth on Schedule 1.6(b)(ix)(A), confirming the aggregate amount of the Company’s obligations in respect of such Payoff Indebtedness, including all amounts required to be paid in order to fully discharge such Payoff Indebtedness and terminate all applicable obligations and liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries related thereto, (B) the forms of UCC-3 termination statements and other documents necessary to evidence (if applicable, upon the filing thereof) the termination of all Liens (other than any Permitted Liens) securing the Payoff Indebtedness under such Payoff Letters, executed by the applicable lenders and the Company (if applicable), effective as of Closing, and (C) Intellectual Property security interest releases in form and substance necessary for recordation in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, or any other similar domestic or foreign office, department, or agency, in each case in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, evidencing the release of any and all Liens on Company owned IP.

1.7 Required Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, as the case may be, from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payments to such Person under the Code, any provision of any Tax Law, or any customs or export Law; provided, however, that other than in the case of compensatory amounts due to current or former employees or withholding attributable to a Selling Party’s failure to deliver the forms or certificates described in Section 1.6(b)(ii), Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any Person notice at least three days in advance of withholding with respect to the sale of Units or Blocker Equity to allow such Person to eliminate or minimize such withholding obligation. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Person for which such withholding or deduction

was made in accordance with this Agreement, and such amounts shall be delivered by Purchaser or the Company, as appropriate, to the applicable Taxing Authority.

1.8 RWI Policy. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may conditionally bind a buyer-side RWI Policy. Purchaser shall bear all costs related to the RWI Policy, including, without limitation, the premium, broker commission, applicable taxes, any retention and any related fees. To the extent applicable, Purchaser shall cause the RWI Policy to include a provision whereby the RWI Insurer expressly waives, releases, and agrees not to pursue, directly or indirectly, any rights via subrogation, against the Company Group, the Selling Parties, or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any claim made thereunder, other than in the case of Fraud. The RWI Policy, including the foregoing subrogation provision, shall not be in any way amended, modified, supplemented, terminated, waived, or otherwise revised, and no amendment, modification, supplementation, termination, waiver or revision shall be effective, without the express written consent of the Selling Parties. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any and all of the fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, premiums, diligence fees, deductibles, broker fees and retentions) related to obtaining the RWI Policy. In no event shall the Company, its Subsidiaries or any Selling Party be required to provide any additional information to the RWI Insurer, and, for the avoidance of doubt, all obligations related to the RWI Policy shall be borne wholly by Purchaser.

4.1 Organization, Good Standing, Qualification and Power. Purchaser has been duly organized, is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and has all requisite authority to carry on its business as presently conducted. Purchaser is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be material to Purchaser.

4.2 Authorization. Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party. The Transaction Agreements to which Purchaser is a party, when executed and delivered by Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other

equitable remedies. As of the date this Agreement is executed, Purchaser has the financial wherewithal to comply with all its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of the Purchase Price, and has no knowledge of any circumstance or set of circumstances that could render it unable to pay the Purchase Price.

4.3 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser’s representation to the Selling Parties, which by Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Purchased Units to be acquired by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Purchased Units.

4.4 Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that the Purchased Units have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that the Purchased Units are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Purchased Units indefinitely unless they are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Purchased Units for resale. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Purchased Units, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of Purchaser’s control and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

4.5 No Public Market. Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Purchased Units, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Purchased Units.

4.6 Legends. Purchaser understands that the Purchased Units and any securities issued in respect of or in exchange for the Purchased Units, if certificated, may bear one or all of the following legends:

(a) “THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”

(b) Any legend set forth in, or required by, the other Transaction Agreements.

(c) Any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the Purchased Units represented by the certificate so legended.

4.7 Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other federal, state or non-U.S. agency has recommended, approved or endorsed the purchase of the Purchased Units as an investment or passed on the accuracy or adequacy of the information set forth in this Agreement or any other documents used in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser has relied on his, her or its own examination of the Company, including the merits and risks involved with its acquisition of the Purchased Units, and Purchaser has obtained, in the judgment of Purchaser, sufficient information to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company. Furthermore, Purchaser has been afforded an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company in connection with its acquisition of the Purchased Units.

4.8 Sufficient Funds. At the Closing, Purchaser will have sufficient available funds to pay (i) the Estimated Purchase Price, (ii) all fees, costs, expenses and other amounts required to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement at the Closing, and (iii) all other amounts required to be paid on the Closing Date in connection with the consummation of the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, including to consummate the transactions to be consummated pursuant to this Agreement, are not in any way conditioned upon Purchaser’s or any other Person’s ability to obtain any financing.

4.9 Litigation. As of the date hereof, there are no pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened in writing Claims against or affecting Purchaser at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Body, which would affect Purchaser’s performance under this Agreement or the consummation of the Transaction.

4.10 Solvency. Purchaser is not entering into this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Company. Purchaser is Solvent as of the date of this Agreement, and Purchaser, the Company and the Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will, after giving effect to the Transaction, including the payment of all amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transaction or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the payment of all related fees and expenses, and assuming the representations and warranties in Sections 2 and 3 are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement, be Solvent at and after the Closing. As used in this Section 4.10, the term “Solvent” shall mean, with respect to a particular date, that on such date, (a) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of Purchaser and, after the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) and of each of them (on a stand-alone basis) will exceed their debts, (b) Purchaser and, after the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) and each of them (on a stand-alone basis) has not incurred and does not intend to incur, and does not believe that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as such debts mature, and (c) Purchaser has and, after the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) and each them (on a stand-alone basis) will have, sufficient capital and liquidity with which to

conduct its business. For purposes of this Section 4.10, “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means any (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, and (ii) any right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

4.11 CFIUS. Purchaser is not a foreign person, as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.224. Purchaser further represents that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will not result in foreign control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.208) of the Company, and does not constitute direct or indirect investment in the Company by any foreign person that affords the foreign person with any of the access, rights or involvement contemplated under 31 C.F.R. § 800.211(b).

4.12 Brokers’ and Finders’ Fees. Purchaser has not incurred, nor will it incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to which Purchaser is a party or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby.

4.13 Due Diligence Investigation.

(a) Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the business, management, operations and finances of the Company Group with its officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, Representatives and Affiliates, and has had an opportunity to inspect the facilities of the Company Group. Purchaser has conducted to its satisfaction, its own independent investigation of the conditions, operations and business of the Company Group and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, Purchaser has relied on the results of its own independent investigation. In making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, Purchaser has relied solely upon the representations and warranties of the Selling Parties and the Company set forth in Section 3 (and acknowledges that such representations and warranties are the only representations and warranties made by the Company as may be modified by the Disclosure Schedule), the representations and warranties of the Blockers set forth in Section 2, the representations and warranties of the Seller Representative set forth in Section 6.5 and the representations and warranties set forth in any ancillary documents or agreements delivered in connection with the Transaction contemplated hereby and has not relied upon any other information provided by, for or on behalf of any of the Company Group, the Blockers or the Selling Parties, or their respective agents or Representatives, to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements. Purchaser has entered into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements with the understanding, acknowledgement and agreement that no representations or warranties, express or implied, are made with respect to future prospects (financial or otherwise) of the Company Group.

(b) In connection with Purchaser’s investigation of the Company Group, Purchaser may have received projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of the business, the Company Group and certain business plan

information. Purchaser acknowledges that there are significant uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties and that Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts and plans. Accordingly, no representation or warranty is made with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts and plans.

(c) At the Closing, the Company shall purchase (at the expense of Purchaser) an extended period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ directors and officers in a form acceptable to the Company that shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the Closing Date of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not materially less favorable to, the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company. Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, maintain such policy in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(d) The obligations under this Section 5.7 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.7 applies without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.7 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.7 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein).

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no D&O Indemnified Party shall have any rights with respect to advancement, indemnification, contribution or other recovery of any kind from Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates for any (i) matter which is a claim in connection with or arising under this Agreement or any other document, certificate or agreement executed or delivered in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) Fraud committed by such D&O Indemnified Party or its Affiliates.

6.1 Employee Benefits Arrangements.

(a) During the period commencing at Closing and ending on the date which is twelve (12) months from the Closing (or if earlier, the date of the Company Employee’s termination of employment with the Company), Purchaser shall cause the Company Group to provide all persons who were employed by the Company Group immediately preceding the Closing and who remain so employed immediately following the Closing (the “Company Employees”) with (i) the same base salary or wage rate, as applicable, and at least the same target short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding equity or equity-based compensation, long-term incentive, retention, transaction or nonqualified deferred compensation or benefits) as were provided to such employees as of immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) employee benefits (including vacation, paid time-off and severance but excluding defined benefit pension benefits, and retiree medical or welfare benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by Purchaser to its similarly situated employees.

(b) Purchaser shall cause the Company to treat, and cause the analogous Purchaser 401(k), health, welfare, and paid time off benefit plans (other than any equity or equity based compensation plans, nonqualified deferred compensation plans, defined benefit plans, and retiree medical or welfare plans or arrangements) to treat, the service of Company Employees attributable to any period before the Closing as service rendered to Purchaser or the Company for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for determining the level of paid time off and severance pay to the same extent and for the same purpose as recognized under the analogous Benefit Plan, and provided that no service shall be credited if duplication of benefits or compensation would result. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, for the plan year in which the Closing occurs, not treat any Company Employee as a “new” employee for purposes of exclusions under any corresponding group health plan of Purchaser or the Company that replaces a group health Benefit Plan for a pre-existing medical condition, and any deductibles and co-insurance paid under any of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ group health plans and credited to such Company Employee shall be credited for the same purpose towards the corresponding deductibles and co-insurance under the corresponding group health plans of Purchaser or the Company.

(c) Purchaser shall honor all the terms and obligations of the retention bonus agreements included on Schedule 6.1(c) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Retention Bonuses Agreements” and the bonuses payable thereunder, the “Retention Bonuses”). In the event that any Retention Bonus is not paid out in accordance with the terms of the applicable Retention Bonus Agreement (other than upon such applicable employee’s voluntary resignation or notice of voluntary resignation in either case within six (6) months following the Closing Date), Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the full amount of any such Retention Bonus, including the employer portion of any Taxes related thereto, within five (5) days following the earlier of (x) the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the date the applicable employee ceases to be eligible to receive such Retention Bonus.

(d) To the extent the Company Group’s 401(k) plan is terminated prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 5.6, Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, make Company Employees who participated in the Company Group’s 401(k) plan immediately prior to the Closing eligible to participate in a defined contribution plan maintained by Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries that is intended to qualify as qualified cash or deferred arrangements under Section 401(k) of the Code (a “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”) effective as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing Date. To the extent applicable, the Parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts such that each such Company Employee may make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) from the Company Group’s 401(k) plan to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan and avoid defaults of outstanding plan loans (which may include facilitating a rollover of such loans).

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.1 shall give any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement, any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.1 or otherwise create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person, including any Company Employee. Nothing in this Section 6.1 is intended to (i) obligate the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group following the Closing) to continue the employment of any Company Employee for any specific period, (ii) create, terminate, modify or amend any Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (iii) limit the ability of Purchaser or

any of its Affiliates (including following the Closing the Company Group) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, contract, agreement or arrangement at any time in accordance with their terms.

6.2 Intended Tax Treatment; Tax Returns; Liability for Taxes; Other Tax Matters.

(a) Each party acknowledges and agrees that for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and for purposes of any applicable state or local income tax that follows the U.S. federal income Tax treatment), the Transaction shall be treated (i) with respect to the Company Acquisition, as a sale of a partnership interest governed by Sections 741, 743, 751 and 754 of the Code, pursuant to which, Purchaser acquires the Company Units in exchange for an amount of consideration paid to each Selling Party, other than a Blocker Seller, equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by such Selling Party’s Pro Rata Share, and (ii) with respect to the Blocker Acquisition, as a sale of stock by the Blocker Sellers pursuant to which Purchaser acquires the Blocker Equity in exchange for an amount of consideration paid to each Blocker Seller, equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by such Selling Party’s Pro Rata Share (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Neither the Selling Parties nor Purchaser, nor any of their Affiliates, shall take any position for Tax purposes (whether in audits, Tax Returns, or otherwise) which is inconsistent with this Section 6.2(a) unless required to do so by applicable Law.

(b) The Selling Parties shall pay, when due, all sales, use, transfer, stamp, documentary, registration or similar Taxes, and any conveyance fees, recording charges and other similar charges (including any penalties and interest), in each case, arising out of or related in any way whatsoever to the sale of the Purchased Units under this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). The Selling Parties will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable Law, Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. Purchaser and the Selling Parties agree to use, and agree to cause their Affiliates, including the Company, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Person or take such other action as may be necessary and reasonably requested by the other party to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes. The Selling Parties shall have no liability for Transfer Taxes pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) to the extent such Transfer Taxes are treated as a reduction of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.2.

(c) Purchaser and the Selling Parties shall, and shall each cause their respective Affiliates to, provide the other with such cooperation and information, as and to the extent reasonably requested, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return (including any amended Tax Return or claim for refund), determining liability for Taxes or in conducting any audit, litigation or other proceeding (including, at Purchaser’s election, changing the “partnership representative” with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period to an individual or entity designated by Purchaser or making a “push-out” election pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code), in each case, with respect to Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Company, including providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns and related documents, and making its employees available, to the extent reasonably requested.

(d) Any member of the Company Group that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes will make an election (to the extent not previously made) under Section 754 of the Code for the taxable period that includes the Closing Date.

(e) Tax Refunds. The Selling Parties shall be entitled to any refunds of federal, state, local, or non-U.S. income Taxes paid for any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company or its Subsidiaries that are received by the Company or such Subsidiary (or any successor thereto) in cash (or that are actually applied as a credit or offset to reduce cash Taxes for which the Purchaser (or its Affiliates, including for this purpose the Company) would otherwise be liable) after the Closing; provided, however, that, any such refunds shall be for the account of Purchaser to the extent (i) that any such refunds are attributable to the carryback from a Tax period beginning after the Closing Date of items of loss, deduction, or credit, or other Tax items; (ii) taken into account in the determination of the Purchase Price hereunder; (iii) that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is under any obligation to pay over or credit such refund to any Person pursuant to a contract entered into prior to the Closing; or (iv) such refund results from any Tax that is paid or economically borne by the Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company or its Subsidiaries after the Closing). The amount of any such refunds to which the Sellers are entitled pursuant to this Section 6.2(e) that are received after the Closing Date (whether in cash or by credit or offset against cash Taxes for which the Purchaser (or its Affiliates, including for this purpose the Company) would otherwise be liable) shall be caused by Purchaser to be paid to the Seller Representative (for the benefit of the Sellers) within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt (or the filing of a Tax Return, claiming the applicable credit or offset) thereof, less (A) any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and/or Taxes (whether imposed on the Company, its Subsidiaries, or on a flow-through basis on the Purchaser and/or any of their direct or indirect owners) attributable to obtaining or receiving the refund (or credit), and (B) any required Tax withholding on such refunds.

(ii) the Closing has not occurred on or before the Termination Date, unless any Blocker’s, Company’s or any Selling Party’s willful breach is the primary reason for the Closing not occurring on or before such date; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement hereunder; or

that, the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)(iii) if the Company is in material breach of Section 5.2 and such material breach caused a failure to remove such Law or Order.

8.2 Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.2, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party hereto or its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or stockholders, other than liability of the Blockers, the Company, the Selling Parties or Purchaser, as the case may be, for any willful and material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination. In determining losses or damages recoverable upon termination by a party hereto for the other party’s breach, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that such losses and damages shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs, and shall include the benefit of the bargain lost by such party or, in the case of the Company, the holders of Units (taking into consideration relevant matters, including other opportunities and the time value of money).

9. No Survival. None of the representations and warranties of any party contained in this Agreement (including any certificates to be delivered hereunder) shall survive the Closing. None of the covenants or obligations of any party to this Agreement required to be performed by such party at or before the Closing shall survive the Closing; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations hereunder to make payments at or in connection with the Closing shall survive until performed in accordance with their terms. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement which by their terms are required to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing until they have been performed or satisfied. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, the parties to this Agreement agree on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates that (i) no party to this Agreement shall have any liability relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein except to the extent agreed to in writing by the parties and (ii) nothing herein shall limit such party’s recovery with respect to, or ability to make any claims regarding, Fraud.

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1 Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder shall be assigned in whole or in part by any party thereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that (i) any Selling Party may, without Purchaser’s consent, assign this Agreement and any rights hereunder upon the death of such Selling Party pursuant to a will or the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) Purchaser may, without any consent required, assign its rights hereunder (a) to any of its Affiliates, (b) to any purchaser or acquirer of Purchaser, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries after the Closing Date and (c) Purchaser, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries may collaterally assign this Agreement and any of the provisions hereof without the written consent of the other parties hereto for collateral security purposes to the agent on behalf of the Persons providing debt financing to Purchaser; provided that, in each case, Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

10.2 Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters arising directly or indirectly hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed in such State without giving effect to the choice of law or conflict of law principles of such state that would require or permit the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.11 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on

the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

10.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules (including the Disclosure Schedules) hereto), the other Transaction Agreements, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties are expressly canceled.

10.13 Interpretation. The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, “hereby”, “hereto”, “hereinafter”, and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, and not to any particular article, section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement. The Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement are incorporated into and form an integral part of this Agreement. The title of and the article, section and paragraph headings in this Agreement and the provision of tables of contents are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern or affect the interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement. The use herein of words importing the singular include the plural and vice versa, and the use of the masculine, feminine or neuter forms shall also denote the other forms, as in each case the context may require. The phrase “ordinary course of business” shall mean in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, including with respect to timing, frequency and magnitude. The phrases “made available”, “provided to Purchaser” or similar terms shall mean that the Company or any of its representatives has posted such materials to the virtual data room hosted by Datasite at least two Business Days prior to the date hereof and which remains continuously available to Purchaser and its representatives until the Closing.

10.14 Joint Negotiation and Drafting. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

10.15 Post-Closing Representation. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Latham & Watkins LLP (US) (the “Company Representatives”) has acted as counsel to the Company and the Blockers in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser, the Blockers and the Company following the Closing, expressly and knowingly consents to the Company Representatives representing any or all of the Selling Parties in any matter after the Closing that is or may be adverse to Purchaser or the Company solely to the extent arising out of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements. This consent constitutes an advance waiver of any conflict of interest claim against the Company Representatives as a result of such firm representing the Company or the Blockers. Purchaser, the Blockers and the Company following the Closing, further agree that, as to all pre-Closing legally privileged communications among the Company Representatives, the Company, the Blockers and any Selling Party that solely relate to the negotiation of this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client

confidence belongs to the Selling Party and may be controlled by the Selling Party and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and the Blockers following the Closing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Purchaser, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries and a third party (other than a Selling Party or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party or the use thereof in connection with its representation of a Selling Party in such dispute.

10.16 Debt Financing Source. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the Selling Parties (in each case, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and each officer, director, employee, member, manager, partner, controlling person, advisor, attorney, agent and representative thereof) (i) hereby waives any claims or rights against any Debt Financing Source relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether at law or in equity and whether in tort, contract or otherwise, (ii) hereby agrees not to bring or support any suit, action or proceeding against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether at law or in equity and whether in tort, contract or otherwise, and (iii) hereby agrees to cause any suit, action or proceeding asserted against any Debt Financing Source by or on behalf of the Selling Parties or any of its or their Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, member, manager, partner, controlling person, advisor, attorney, agent and representative thereof in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to be dismissed or otherwise terminated. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waivers and agreements, it is acknowledged and agreed that no Debt Financing Source shall have any liability for any claims or damages to the Selling Parties in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

10.17 Seller Representative.

(a) Each Selling Party irrevocably constitutes and appoints Brentwood Seller as the Seller Representative, such Selling Party’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent and authorizes it acting for such Selling Party and in such Selling Party’s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities to do and perform every act and thing required, permitted, necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, as fully to all intents and purposes as such Selling Party might or could do in person, including to:

(i) take any and all actions (including, without limitation, executing and delivering any documents, incurring any costs and expenses on behalf of the Selling Parties) and make any and all determinations which may be required or permitted in connection with the post-Closing implementation of this Agreement and related agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

(ii) give and receive notices and communications thereunder;

(iii) negotiate, defend, settle, compromise and otherwise handle and resolve any and all claims and disputes with Purchaser arising out of or in respect of the Transaction Agreements;

(iv) authorize release of amounts from the Escrow Account in satisfaction of claims made by Purchaser thereunder;

(v) enter into the Escrow Agreement and act pursuant thereto;

(vi) enter into any waiver or amendment of the Escrow Agreement or this Agreement after the Closing;

(vii) receive all notices under the Transaction Agreements;

(viii) retain legal counsel, accountants, consultants and other experts, and incur any other reasonable expenses, in connection with all matters and things set forth or necessary with respect to the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and

(ix) to make any other decision or election or exercise such rights, power and authority as are incidental to the foregoing.

(b) Each of the Selling Parties acknowledges and agrees that upon execution of this Agreement, upon any delivery by the Seller Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other document executed by the Seller Representative, such Selling Party shall be bound by such documents as fully as if such Selling Party had executed and delivered such documents.

(c) The Seller Representative may resign at any time; provided that it must provide the Selling Parties who held a majority of the Equity Interests immediately prior to Closing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such decision to resign. The Seller Representative shall not receive compensation for service in such capacity.

(d) Any and all actions taken or not taken, exercises of rights, power or authority and any decision or determination made by the Seller Representative in connection herewith shall be absolutely and irrevocably binding upon the Selling Parties as if such Person had taken such action, exercised such rights, power or authority or made such decision or determination in its individual capacity, and the Escrow Agent and Purchaser may rely upon such action, exercise of right, power, or authority or such decision or determination of the Seller Representative as the action, exercise, right, power, or authority, or decision or determination of such Person, and no Selling Party shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Purchaser is hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by the Seller Representative and any acts done by Purchaser in accordance with any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Seller Representative. Purchaser may rely, without further investigation, upon the authority of the Seller Representative to act on behalf of the Selling Parties with respect to the matters contemplated in this Agreement.
