Proration; Election Procedures.

Proration.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (A) the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock that will be entitled to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i) shall be equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding the shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 3.1(a)(iii)) multiplied by (y) sixty percent (60%) (rounded down to the nearest whole number) (the “Cash Conversion Number”), and (B) the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock that will be entitled to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i) shall be equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding the shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 3.1(a)(iii)) multiplied by (y) forty percent (40%) (rounded up to the nearest whole number) (the “Stock Conversion Number”).

Promptly (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among holders of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) of rights to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration and the Per Share Stock Consideration as follows:

If the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) with respect to which Cash Elections shall have been made (the “Cash Election Number”) exceeds the Cash Conversion Number, then (1) each Stock Election Share and each Non-Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration and (2) each holder of Cash Election Shares will be entitled to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration in respect of that number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares equal to the product of (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder multiplied by (y) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is the Cash Conversion Number and (II) the denominator of which is the Cash Election Number, with each of such holder’s remaining Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration; and

If the Cash Election Number is less than the Cash Conversion Number (the amount by which the Cash Conversion Number exceeds the Cash Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then (A) each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration, and (B) all Stock Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then (x) each Stock Election Share shall be converted

If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then (x) each Non-Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration, and (y) each holder of Stock Election Shares will be entitled to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration in respect of that number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares equal to the product of (I) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder multiplied by (II) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the Stock Conversion Number and (y) the denominator of which is the total number of Stock Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration.

Election Procedures.

Each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with, and subject to, Sections 3.1(a) and 3.2(a) (each, a “Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 3.2(b), to specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2(b) (herein called an “Election”) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to make (i) a Stock Election or (ii) a Cash Election.

Parent shall (x) prepare a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, including appropriate and customary transmittal materials in such form as prepared by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Form of Election”), to permit Holders to exercise their right to make an Election, (y) cause the Exchange Agent to make available and mail the Form of Election not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline (as defined below) to Holders as of the Business Day prior to such mailing date, and (z) following such mailing date, use all reasonable efforts to make available as promptly as possible a Form of Election to any Holder who requests such Form of Election prior to the Election Deadline. The period between such mailing date and the Election Deadline is referred to herein as the “Election Period”.

Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, during the Election Period, a Form of Election properly completed and signed (including duly executed transmittal materials included in the Form of Election). As used herein, unless otherwise agreed in advance by the Parties, “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date which the Parties shall agree is as near as practicable to three (3) Business Days preceding the Closing Date. The Company and Parent shall cooperate to issue a press release reasonably satisfactory to each of them announcing the

Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, change such Holder’s Election by written notice to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed revised Form of Election. If any Election is not properly made with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock (none of Parent, the Company nor the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any Holder of any such defect), such Election shall be deemed to not be effective, and the shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Non-Election Shares, unless a proper Election is thereafter timely made with respect thereto.

Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, revoke his or her Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline or by withdrawal prior to the Election Deadline of his or her Certificates, or of the guarantee of delivery of such Certificates, previously deposited with the Exchange Agent and the shares of Company Common Stock previously covered by such revoked Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Non-Election Shares, unless a proper Election is thereafter timely made with respect thereto. All Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the Parties that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

Subject to the terms herein and the Form of Election, Parent, in the exercise of its reasonable, good faith discretion, shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms herein, governing the (i) validity of the Forms of Election and compliance by any Holder with the Election procedures set forth herein, (ii) method of issuance and delivery of new certificates for Parent Common Stock representing the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Company Common Stock are converted in the First-Step Merger, and (iii) method of payment of cash for shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock.

Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

Company SARs.

At the Effective Time, each Company SAR that is outstanding, unexercised and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (taking into account any acceleration of vesting as a result of the consummation of the Integrated Merger) shall, by virtue of the Integrated Mergers and without further action on the part of the Company, Parent or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a right to receive an amount in cash equal to (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company SAR, multiplied by (B)(1) the Per Share Cash Consideration minus (2) the exercise price per share of such Company SAR, subject to any required withholding of Taxes.

Company RSU Awards.

At the Effective Time, each Company RSU Award that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (taking into account any acceleration of vesting as a result of the consummation of the Integrated Merger) shall, by virtue of the Integrated Mergers and without further action on the part of the Company, Parent or the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into a restricted stock unit award with respect to Parent Common Stock (each, a “Substitute RSU Award”), and Parent shall assume the Company Equity Plans and each such Company RSU Award on the same terms and conditions as applied to the related Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Substitute RSU Award shall be equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio (with the resulting number rounded up to the nearest whole share).

At the Effective Time, each Company RSU Award that is outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (taking into account any acceleration of vesting as a result of the consummation of the Integrated Mergers) shall, by virtue of the Integrated Mergers and without further action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Subs or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award (each an “Underlying RSU Share”), subject to any required withholding of Taxes; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.2, for purposes of this Section 3.3(b)(ii), with respect to each such Company RSU Award, sixty percent (60%) of the Underlying RSU Shares shall be converted into the Per Share Cash Consideration and forty percent (40%) of the Underlying RSU Shares shall be converted into the Per Share Stock Consideration.

Company PSU Awards.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company PSU Award granted during the 2022 calendar year (each, a “2022 Company PSU Award”) that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall accelerate and vest and, at the Effective Time, shall, by virtue of the Integrated Mergers and without further action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Subs or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each Deemed Earned Unit (as defined below) with respect thereto, subject to any required withholding of Taxes; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.2, for purposes of this Section 3.3(c)(i), with respect to each such 2022 Company PSU Award, sixty percent (60%) of the Deemed Earned Units shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration and forty percent (40%) of the Deemed Earned Units shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, “Deemed Earned Units” means, with respect to each 2022 Company PSU Award (1) the number of restricted stock units awarded pursuant to such 2022 Company PSU Award, multiplied by (2) the estimated actual performance achievement level with respect to such 2022 Company PSU Award, as determined by the Company’s Board in good faith based on its best estimate of projected actual performance through the end of the performance period, and as measured against performance goals.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company PSU Award granted during the 2023 calendar year (each, a “2023 Company PSU Award”) that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall accelerate and vest in accordance with the terms of such 2023 Company PSU Award and, at the Effective Time, shall, by virtue of the Integrated Mergers and without further action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Subs or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each vested restricted stock unit with respect thereto, which number of vested restricted stock units shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of such 2023 Company PSU Award (which terms, for the avoidance of doubt, provide that the number of restricted stock units that vests in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the applicable Company Equity Plan) shall be (1) the number of restricted stock units granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of such 2023 Company PSU Award (i.e., the number of restricted stock units that would vest if performance goal was achieved at target), multiplied by (2) the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the number of days between the grant date of such 2023 Company PSU Award and the Effective Time by (b) 1,095, subject to any required withholding of Taxes, provided, that, in the event of any conflict between the vesting calculation described in this Section 3.3(c)(ii) and the terms of such 2023 Company PSU Award, the terms of the 2023 Company PSU Award shall govern); provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.2, for purposes of this Section 3.3(c)(ii), with respect to each such 2023 Company PSU Award, sixty percent (60%) of the vested restricted stock units shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration and forty percent (40%) of the vested restricted stock units shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration.

Fractional Shares. The assumption and conversion of the Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be in accordance with, and no amounts shall be payable with respect thereto, as applicable, prior to the time permissible under, the requirements under Section 409A of the Code. All rounding described in this Section 3.3 shall be done on an aggregate basis per vesting tranche of each Company Equity Award and any holder of a Company Equity Award the adjustment of which results in fractional shares shall be entitled to a cash payment as provided under Section 3.7 in respect of such fractional share.

Assumption of Company Equity Award Plans. Parent shall assume the Company Equity Plans, and the number and kind of shares available for issuance under the Company Equity Plans shall be converted into shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the adjustment provisions of the Company Equity Plans.

Corporate Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Company Equity Plans) and the Parent Board shall have taken, or shall take, such actions as are necessary or appropriate to approve and effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3.

Dissenting Shares.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock which are held immediately prior to the Effective Time by a holder who did not vote in favor of the Integrated Mergers (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (any such shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder effectively withdraws or fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Applicable Law with respect thereto) pursuant to, and who

If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect appraisal rights under Applicable Law or otherwise), then such shares shall be deemed to have been converted into the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the applicable Merger Consideration in accordance herewith, without interest thereon, and shall not thereafter be Dissenting Shares.

The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt written notice of any notice received by the Company from a holder of Company Common Stock of intent to demand appraisal of the fair value of any shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such notices or demands and any other instruments, notices or demands served pursuant to the CGCL or other Applicable Law; and (B) the opportunity to control and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands, notices or instruments. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or timely take any other action to perfect appraisal rights in accordance with Applicable Law, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Procedures for Surrender and Payment.

At least thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) and enter into an exchange agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, with the Exchange Agent for the purposes of (1) distributing and receiving Forms of Election, and (2) exchanging (i) Certificates and (ii) Uncertificated Shares for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock. As of or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Section 3.5 through the Exchange Agent, the aggregate Merger Consideration, including cash and evidence of shares in book-entry form representing the aggregate amount of all cash payable and all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.2(a) in exchange for all issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Parent agrees to make available, directly or indirectly, to the Exchange Agent from time to time as needed cash sufficient to pay any dividends to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 3.5(e) and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.7. All evidence of shares in book-entry form, any dividends with respect thereto and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.” Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver the Merger Consideration (and any dividends pursuant to Section 3.5(e) and any cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.7) contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article 3 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration, the dividends to which holders of shares of Company Common Stock are entitled pursuant to Section 3.5(e) or cash in lieu of fractional

Promptly after the Effective Time (but in any event, within one (1) Business Day), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of shares of Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares at the Effective Time, who did not submit a Form of Election pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and the Certificate with respect to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, a letter of transmittal and instructions that shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent for use in such exchange.

Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) in the case of each share of Company Common Stock represented by Certificate, surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) in the case of each Uncertificated Share, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), both (A) the Merger Consideration and (B) cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends with respect thereto, as respectively contemplated by Section 3.7 and Section 3.5(e). The shares of Parent Common Stock constituting part of such Merger Consideration shall be in uncertificated book-entry form, unless a physical certificate is required under Applicable Law.

Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock twelve (12) months following the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent or as otherwise instructed by Parent, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.5 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends with respect thereto, as respectively contemplated by Section 3.7 and Section 3.5(e)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts properly paid to a public official in compliance with applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Following the surrender of any Certificates or the transfer of any Uncertificated Shares as provided in this Section 3.5, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose name the shares of Parent Common Stock constituting a portion of the Merger Consideration have been registered, (i) in connection with the payment of the Merger Consideration, (A) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares to which such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 3.7, and (B) the aggregate amount of all dividends payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock with a Record Date on or after the Effective Time that were paid prior to the time of such surrender or transfer, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date after the payment of the Merger Consideration, the amount of all dividends payable with respect to whole shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Merger Consideration with a Record Date on or after the Effective Time and prior to the time of such surrender or transfer and with a payment date

The payment of any transfer taxes (including any penalties and interest) incurred solely by a holder of Company Common Stock in connection with the First Merger, and the filing of any related Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Taxes and fees, shall be the sole responsibility of such holder.

Certain Adjustments.

Fractional Shares.

Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.

Withholding Rights.

Transfers of Ownership.

If a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

Upon the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of the Surviving Company. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to Parent, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 3.

Obligations of the Merger Subs and the Surviving Company.

Director and Officer Liability.

For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and any successor thereto to indemnify and hold harmless (including advancement of expenses), to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Laws and as such Person is entitled to be indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to the Company Organizational Documents or by any Company Subsidiary pursuant to the governing or organizational documents of such Company Subsidiary or any binding agreements with respect to the indemnification of an Indemnified Person, each present and former officer and director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, and any Person who becomes an officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time, with the consent of Parent to the extent required under Section 6.1 (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines, amounts paid in settlement and any fees, costs and expenses (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel of the respective Indemnified Person’s choosing) incurred or arising in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent they arise out of or relate to (i) such Indemnified Person’s service as an officer, director, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company or any Company Subsidiary at or prior to the Effective Time, or, at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, as a fiduciary under any Company Employee Plan (including any act or omission by such Indemnified Person in his or her capacity as such), in each case at or prior to the Effective Time, or (ii) matters related to this Agreement and the Transactions. In the event of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, each Indemnified Person will be entitled to advancement by Parent and the Surviving Company of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt by Parent or the Surviving Company from such Indemnified Person of a written request therefor; provided, that if required under Applicable Law, the Indemnified Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification.

Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies for a claims reporting period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”) from one or more insurance carriers with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s insurance carrier as of the date of this Agreement with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions); provided, that in no event shall the aggregate cost of the “tail” policy for the D&O Insurance exceed 300% of the current aggregate annual premium paid by the Company for such purpose (the “Premium Cap”); and provided, further, that if the cost of such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Surviving Company shall obtain a policy with the maximum coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, the Company, in consultation with Parent, but only upon the prior written consent of Parent, may (and at the request of Parent, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a six (6) year prepaid “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors and officers insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Premium Cap and, in such case, Parent shall not have any further obligations under this Section 7.3(b), other than to maintain such prepaid “tail” policy.

During the Tail Period, all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto in favor of any Indemnified Person as provided in the organizational documents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Person and the Company or any Company Subsidiary, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Transactions unchanged and shall not be amended, restated, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner adverse to the rights of any Indemnified Person thereunder without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Person. The organizational documents of the Surviving Company and, as applicable, the Surviving Company’s Subsidiaries shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, contain provisions related to indemnification equally as favorable to the Indemnified Persons as the indemnification and exculpation from liability provisions in the organizational documents of the Company and its relevant Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

If Parent or the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger, (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, (iii) have more than fifty percent (50%) of its voting equity interest acquired by another Person, or (iv) convert into another Person or domesticate into another jurisdiction, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.3.

The rights of the Indemnified Persons under this Section 7.3 shall survive consummation of the Integrated Mergers and are in addition to any rights such Indemnified Persons may have under the organizational documents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or under any indemnification agreements or other applicable Contracts of the Company or Applicable Law.

This Section 7.3 is intended to be for the benefit of, and from and after the Effective Time shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons, who shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.3. Nothing herein is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive, or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence related to the Company or its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers, or other employees. Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations of Parent and the Surviving Company set forth in this Section 7.3.

Employee Matters.

For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), the Surviving Company shall provide, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to provide, to each Continuing Employee (i) base salary or base wage rate and target and/or discretionary cash and equity compensation opportunities that are no less favorable than the base salary or base wage rate and target and/or discretionary cash and equity compensation opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) employee benefits (including retirement and health and welfare benefits, but excluding defined benefit plan benefits and retiree medical and welfare benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, assume and honor the Company’s Change In Control Severance Plan and Involuntary Termination Severance Plan in accordance with the terms

The Surviving Company shall not, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company not to, terminate any employee of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Employee”) without cause through the later of (i) the end of the 2024 calendar year and (ii) six (6) months following the Closing Date (the “Employment Continuation Period”). With respect to any terminations of Company Employees without cause following the Employment Continuation Period and before the end of the Benefits Continuation Period, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, provide at least ninety (90) days’ advance written notice of termination.

From and after the Closing, Parent or its Affiliates shall recognize all service of each Continuing Employee prior to the Effective Time with the Company or Company Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors for all purposes, including for purposes of determining vesting, eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vacation accruals and benefit plan accruals (other than benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan), under any 401(k) plan, employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Parent Plan”) in which such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time, in all cases, subject to the terms of such Parent Plan. In no event shall anything contained in this Section 7.4(c) result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

With respect to each Parent Plan providing health or welfare benefits, Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) to, (i) waive, or cause to be waived, any preexisting conditions, limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee to the same extent such preexisting conditions, limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would have been waived or satisfied under the applicable Company Employee Plan such Continuing Employee participated in immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide, or cause to be provided, such Continuing Employee with credit for any copayments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee under a Company Employee Plan during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs, to the same extent such credit was given under the Company Employee Plan such Continuing Employee participated in immediately prior to the Effective Time, in satisfying such year’s applicable copayment, deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under such Parent Plan; in each case, in accordance with and subject to the terms of such Parent Plan and the requirements of any Parent Plan provider, as applicable, and provided, that nothing herein shall result in the duplication of any benefits.

Unless Parent and the Company agree otherwise in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing, effective as of the date immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate the KSOP (the “Terminated Plan”). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide Parent with resolutions adopted by the Company Board terminating the Terminated Plan, the form and substance of which shall be subject to the prior written approval of Parent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, with respect to the Terminated Plan, Parent shall permit or cause its Subsidiaries to permit the Continuing Employees to roll over their account balances and to roll over any participant loans secured by their account balances in any Terminated Plans into, in each case, the “eligible retirement plan” within the meaning of Section 402(c)(8)(B) of the Code maintained by Parent or its Subsidiaries (the “Parent 401(k)”), to the extent permitted by and subject to the terms of such Parent 401(k).

As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with calculations indicating whether any “disqualified individuals” are expected to receive “excess parachute payments,” both such terms, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, that will be subject to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Parent agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to update the foregoing information prior to Closing as reasonably requested by Parent.

Without limiting the generality of Section 11.6, nothing contained in this Section 7.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, express or implied (i) shall cause the Company, Parent or any of their Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) to be obligated to continue to employ or engage any Person, including any Continuing Employees, for any period of time following the Effective Time; (ii) shall prevent the Company, Parent or their Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) from revising, amending or terminating any Company Employee Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program or policy in effect from time to time that is assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them; (iii) shall establish or be construed as an amendment, termination or modification of, or an undertaking to establish, amend, terminate or modify, any Company Employee Plan or Parent Plan; or (iv) is intended to or shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person other than the Parties, including any present or former Company Service Provider (including any beneficiary or dependent of such individual).

As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, (i) the Company and Parent shall jointly prepare a proxy statement relating to the Company Shareholder Meeting which shall include a prospectus with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to shareholders of the Company in the First-Step Merger (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) in preliminary form, and (ii) Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 that shall include the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Registration Statement”) relating to the registration of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Parent Stock Issuance.

Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Laws and the rules and policies of Nasdaq and the SEC to enable the listing of the Parent Common Stock being registered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Nasdaq no later than the Effective Time. Parent shall also use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities Law or “blue sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the Transactions (provided, that in no event shall Parent be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or file a general consent to service of process).

Each of the Company and Parent shall, upon request, furnish to the other all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and (to the extent reasonably available to the applicable party) shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, Filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, to the SEC or Nasdaq in connection with the Transactions, including the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Financing and Financing Cooperation.

Parent shall, and shall cause the Borrowers and certain of their Subsidiaries who shall be guarantors under the Financing, in each case to, use reasonable best efforts to take (or cause to be taken) all actions, and to do (or cause to be done) all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Financing on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter as promptly as possible such that as of the Closing, Parent shall consummate the Financing, including by using reasonable best efforts to (i) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing (the “Financing Documents”) on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter or on other terms (subject to the limitations contained in this Section 8.3(a)) that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the Integrated Mergers, the other Transactions or the date on which the Financing could be obtained or make the timely funding of the full amount of the Financing less likely to occur; (ii) satisfy (or, if deemed advisable by both Parent and the Company, seek a waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions in any Financing Documents and otherwise comply with all of its obligations thereunder; (iii) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter and any Financing Documents until the Financing is consummated or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (iv) subject to clause (ii), assuming that all conditions contained in the Commitment Letter have been satisfied, consummate the Financing on a timely basis and satisfy all obligations of each of Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement; and (v) enforce the Borrower’s rights under the Commitment Letter and/or any Financing Documents (as applicable) in the event of a breach by any counterparty thereto that could reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions. Parent and the Merger Subs shall comply with their obligations, and enforce their rights, under the Commitment Letter and Financing Documents in a timely and diligent matter. Parent shall give the Company prompt oral and written notice of any breach or default by any party to any Financing Documents or any Alternative Financing (as defined below), in each case of which it has become aware, and any purported termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Documents or any Alternative Financing, in each case of which it has become aware, or upon receipt of written notice of any dispute or disagreement between or among the parties to any Financing Documents or any Alternative Financing or any Financing Source. Neither Parent, nor any Subsidiary of Parent, shall amend, waive or modify any material provision of the Commitment Letter, except as contemplated by Section 2 thereof (or the terms and conditions of the Financing referred to therein) without the consent of the Company. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent (or any Subsidiary of Parent) amend, supplement, terminate, waive or otherwise modify the Commitment Letter, except as contemplated by Section 2 thereof (or the terms and conditions of the Financing referred to therein), in any manner, if such amendment, supplement, termination, waiver or other modification shall (A) reduce (or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of available financing, (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent or expand upon the conditions precedent to the Financing or adversely amends or modifies any of the conditions of the Financing, (C) materially delay, prevent or impede the timely funding of the Financing (or the satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) or the consummation of the Integrated Mergers or the other Transactions, (D) adversely impact the ability of any of Parent or the Merger Subs to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter or the Financing Documents and/or (E) shorten the length of the commitment period provided in the Commitment Letter, in each case, without the written consent of the Company. In each case, promptly upon the Company’s request to Parent, Parent shall (1) provide to the Company copies, as and when available, of all substantially final drafts and executed definitive agreements for the Financing Documents (excluding any provisions related solely to fees and other economic terms), and (2) keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to arrange, negotiate and close the Financing.

In the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in any Financing Documents (or such other terms reasonably satisfactory to each of Parent and the Company), each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly arrange to obtain alternative financing (“Alternative Financing”) from alternative sources in an equivalent amount (on terms and conditions taken as a whole no less favorable to Parent and the Company (and their respective Subsidiaries) than the terms and conditions under the Commitment Letter (as in effect on the date hereof)). In such event (except as otherwise set forth herein, and except for purposes of Section 5.18), the term “Financing” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative Financing and the term “Commitment Letter” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any amendment to the Commitment Letter entered into in accordance with the terms hereof and any commitment letters entered into with respect to any Alternative Financing.

From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Parent with all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the arrangement, syndication and consummation of the Financing. Such cooperation by the Company shall include using its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide assistance to Parent and the Merger Subs in connection with the preparation of the pro forma financial statements required pursuant to paragraph 8 of Exhibit E of the Commitment Letter as in effect as of the date hereof, provided that Parent, and not the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, shall be responsible for the preparation of any pro forma financial statements and pro forma adjustments giving effect to the Transactions, (ii) upon reasonable notice, at agreed times and places, participate in and to cause the Company’s senior management to participate in a reasonable number of due diligence sessions and other meetings with the parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for and prospective lenders for the Financing; (iii) provide reasonable assistance, with respect to information regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, in the preparation of a customary information memorandum for a syndicated loan or bridge financing and customary offering memorandum for a Rule 144A offering of high yield debt securities that relate to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (which assistance described in this clause (iii) shall not include the provision of financial information regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries not otherwise referenced in Section 8.3(g)); (iv) to the extent required by the Financing Sources, in the case of an offering of high yield debt securities as part of the Financing, request the independent auditors of the Company to cooperate with Parent to obtain a customary comfort letter to the extent requested in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to issuance of such customary comfort letter; (v) execute and deliver, as of the Closing Date (but in no event prior thereto), any definitive financing documents, including any credit agreements or any amendments or joinders thereto, customary ancillary documents and facilitate the pledge of collateral effective no earlier than the Closing Date; (vi) at Parent’s reasonable request, (A) assist with the preparation of a customary borrowing base certificate (solely to the extent relating to assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), including relating to the borrowing base contemplated by the Commitment Letter, delivering applicable supporting information and documentation and assisting, and providing cooperation with and access to representatives of the Parent and Financing Sources to conduct customary field examinations and appraisals relating to inventory and real estate assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and (B) cooperate with Parent to establish bank and other accounts and blocked account agreements and lock box arrangements, to be effective no earlier than the Closing Date, in connection with the foregoing; and (vii) provide to Parent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date all documentation and other information with respect to the Company and their Subsidiaries as shall have been reasonably requested in writing by Parent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that is required in connection with the Financing by U.S.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall be required (or permit the taking of any action pursuant to this Section 8.3) to (i) take any action in respect of the Financing to the extent that such action would cause any condition to Closing set forth herein to fail to be satisfied by the required time or otherwise result in a breach of this Agreement by the Company; (ii) take any action in respect of the Financing that would violate the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents or any Applicable Law, in each case in a manner that would have a Company Material Adverse Effect, or result in a non de minimis breach of, or non de minimis default under, any Company Material Contract to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party to the extent such Company Material Contract is with a Third Party that is unaffiliated with the Company; (iii) execute and deliver any letter, agreement, document or certificate in connection with the Financing or take any corporate action that is not contingent on, or that would be effective prior to, the occurrence of the Closing; (iv) pay any commitment fee or other fee or payment to obtain consent or incur any liability with respect to, or cause or permit any Lien to be placed on, any of their respective assets in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing Date; (v) subject any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective directors, managers, officers or employees to any actual or potential personal liability; (vi) cause or require the directors and managers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Financing is obtained unless such resolutions are contingent upon the occurrence of, or only effective as of, the Closing or some other date following the Closing upon which such directors and managers are or will still be directors and managers of such Company or such Subsidiary; (vii) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or any other Contract to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is party; (viii) provide access to or disclose information where the Company determines in good faith that such access or disclosure would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or contravene any applicable law or contract; or (ix) unreasonably interfere with the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Section 8.3 or otherwise shall require the Company or any Company Subsidiary, prior to the Closing Date, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to any of the Financing.

The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of the logos of the Company and/or each of its Subsidiaries by Parent, the Merger Subs and the Borrowers, to the extent applicable, in connection with the Financing; provided, that Parent, the Merger Subs and the Borrowers shall ensure that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with such cooperation pursuant to this Section 8.3 and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, any action taken by them at the request of Parent or the Merger Subs pursuant to this Section 8.3, and any information used in connection therewith (other than information provided in writing by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries specifically in connection with its obligations pursuant to this Section 8.3).

The Company shall deliver to the Lead Arrangers under the Commitment Letter: (i) audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of, and

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 8.3 represent the sole obligation of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of any financing (including the Financing) to be obtained by Parent or any Merger Sub with respect to the Transactions and no other provision of this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations.

All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries obtained by Parent, any Merger Sub, or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and the Clean Team Agreement.

Each of Parent and the Company shall (i) provide customary representations reasonably requested by counsel in order to deliver any tax opinions required in connection with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Registration Statement and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts (A) to cause the Integrated Mergers to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code with respect to which Parent and the Company will each be a “party to the reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code and (B) not to, and not permit or cause any of its respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, take or cause to be taken any action reasonably likely to cause the Integrated Mergers to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.

Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law (as determined in good faith consultation with their respective Tax advisors), Parent and the Company intend to report the Integrated Mergers for U.S. federal tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary of either thereof shall have any liability or obligation to any holder of Company Common Stock should the Integrated Mergers fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

TERMINATION

by mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent;

by either the Company or Parent, if:

the Integrated Mergers have not become effective on or before October 31, 2024 (as such date may be extended pursuant to the following proviso, the “End Date”); provided, that, if on such date, one or more of the conditions to the Closing set forth in (A) Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.2(d), or (B) Section 9.1(c) (if, in the case of clause (B), the Order or Applicable Law relates to the matter referenced in Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.2(d)) shall not have been satisfied, but all other conditions to the Closing shall have been satisfied (or in the case of conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, shall be capable of being satisfied or waived on such date) or waived, then the End Date shall be extended by either the Company or the Parent, to a date that is up to three (3) months after such date, if either the Company or the Parent notifies the other Party in writing on or prior to 5:00 pm Eastern time on the End Date, of its election to so extend the End Date (in which case any references to the End Date herein shall mean the End Date, as so extended, it being understood that if each of Parent and the Company provides such a notice to the other but the proposed new End Dates in each are not the same then the End Date that is later in time shall constitute the End Date as so extended); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement or extend the End Date pursuant to this Section 10.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement primarily causes or results in the failure of the Integrated Mergers to be consummated by such time;

any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, enforced or entered any Applicable Law or Order after the date hereof that makes illegal, permanently enjoins, prevents or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Transactions (including the Integrated Mergers) and, such Applicable Law or Order shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any Party who has failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, including its obligations under Section 8.1, or whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement set forth in this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the issuance, promulgation, enforcement, or entry of any such Law or Order; or

the Company Shareholder Approval shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote upon a vote taken thereon at the Company Shareholder Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof).

by Parent, if:

prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred; or

a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that, together with any other breaches or failure to perform by the Company, would constitute, if continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of any condition set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), and such breach or failure to perform (A) is incapable of being cured by the End Date or (B) has not been cured by the Company within thirty (30) days following written notice to the Company from Parent of such breach or failure to perform, but Parent may terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(c)(ii) only so long as Parent is not then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach by Parent would cause any condition set forth in Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b) not to be satisfied; or

a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or the Merger Subs set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that, together with any other breaches or failure to perform by Parent or the Merger Subs, would constitute, if continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of any condition set forth in Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b), and such breach or failure to perform (A) is incapable of being cured by the End Date or (B) has not been cured by Parent or the Merger Subs, as applicable, within thirty (30) days following written notice to Parent from the Company of such breach or failure to perform, but the Company may terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(d)(ii) only so long as the Company is not then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach by the Company would cause any condition set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b) not to be satisfied.

If this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to (A) Section 10.1(b)(i) and if at the time of such termination all of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 are satisfied (or in the case of conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, are capable of being satisfied or waived on such date) or waived, except for either (1) the condition in Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.2(d), or (2) the condition in Section 9.1(c) (if in the case of this clause (2), the Order or Applicable Law in existence that has caused such condition not to be satisfied relates to the matters referenced in Section 9.1(b) and Section 9.2(d)), or (B) Section 10.1(b)(ii) (if the Order or Applicable Law relates to the matters referenced in Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.2(d)) (a termination of this Agreement made in accordance with and under the circumstances provided in either of the preceding clause (A) or clause (B), a “Regulatory Termination”), then, in each case, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company, in cash at the time specified in the following sentence, a fee in the amount of $180,000,000 (the “Regulatory Termination Fee”). The Regulatory Termination Fee shall be paid within three (3) Business Days after the date of termination of this Agreement.

Any payment of the Regulatory Termination Fee shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company.

The Parties agree and understand that (i) in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Regulatory Termination Fee on more than one occasion and (ii) in no event shall the Company be entitled, pursuant to this Section 10.4, to receive an amount greater than the Regulatory Termination Fee plus any Collection Expenses and any amounts then or thereafter to be paid under Section 8.3(f). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud or intentional breach, (x) if the Company receives the Regulatory Termination Fee from Parent pursuant to this Section 10.4, such payment (together with any Collection Expenses and any amounts then or thereafter to be paid under Section 8.3(f)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company against Parent and its Subsidiaries and none of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. Parent acknowledges that the agreements contained in Section 8.3(f), this Section 10.4 and Section 10.5 are an integral part of the Transactions, that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement and that any amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.3(f), this Section 10.4 and Section 10.5 do not constitute a penalty. Accordingly, if Parent fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 10.4 and Section 10.5, Parent shall also pay any Collection Expenses incurred in obtaining a judgment against or settlement with Parent or any of its Affiliates for the Regulatory Termination Fee.
