EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT is entered into as of February 19, 2025 (this “Agreement”), by and among PDF Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), located at 2858 De La Cruz Blvd., Santa Clara, CA 95050 – USA, SecureWise LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Target”), located at Churchill Hall at Imperial Center, 5425 Page Rd, Suite 120, Durham, NC 27703 – USA, and Telit IOT Solutions Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), located at Churchill Hall at Imperial Center, 5425 Page Rd, Suite 120, Durham, NC 27703 - USA. Purchaser, the Target and Seller shall each be referred to in this Agreement as a “Party”, and collectively as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Section 12.1.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Membership Interests”) of the Target, which constitute all of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of the Target; and

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, the Membership Interests, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Article 1​

PURCHASE AND SALE
1.1Purchase and Sale of the Membership Interests. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall sell, with effect upon Closing, and Purchaser shall purchase, with effect upon Closing, and Seller shall transfer to Purchaser, all right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Membership Interests, free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens created or imposed by Purchaser or restrictions on transfer under applicable securities Laws, for the consideration specified in Section 1.2.
1.2Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the purchase of the Membership Interests shall be an amount equal to (a) U.S.$130,000,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”), (b) either (i) plus the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, or (ii) minus the amount by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, (c) plus the amount of any Estimated Cash, (d) minus the amount of


any Estimated Indebtedness and (e) minus the amount of any Estimated Transaction Expenses (such resulting amount pursuant to Sections 1.2(a)-(e), the “Estimated Purchase Price” and, as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.4, the “Purchase Price”).

1.3Closing Payment. At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Estimated Purchase Price (the “Closing Payment”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amounts and to the bank accounts designated in writing by Seller in the Pre-Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(a).
1.4Adjustment of the Purchase Price.
(a)Pre-Closing Statement. Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written statement (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail and with reasonable supporting documentation, (A) Seller’s good faith estimate of (i) the Closing Date Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”), (ii) the Closing Date Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), (iii) the Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), (iv) the Closing Date Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”) and (v) the amount, and the calculation of, the Estimated Purchase Price and the Closing Payment derived therefrom in accordance with Section 1.3, and (B) a balance sheet of the Target as of immediately prior to the Closing, in each case, prepared in accordance with the Accounting Rules (to the extent applicable) and the definitions and other terms included in this Agreement. The Pre-Closing Statement, including the calculations of the Estimated Working Capital, Estimated Cash, the Estimated Indebtedness and the Estimated Transaction Expenses, shall be consistent with the Accounting Rules. After delivery of the Pre-Closing Statement and until the Closing Date, Seller shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments provided by Purchaser with respect to the Pre-Closing Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (A) the estimates delivered by Seller pursuant to this Section 1.4(a), as modified to reflect only those changes requested by Purchaser and agreed to by Seller (acting in its sole discretion in good faith), will be binding for purposes of this Section 1.4(a), and (B) subject to compliance with the procedures in this Section 1.4(a), in no event will any comments, discussions or disputes regarding the Pre-Closing Statement delay the Closing (it being understood that if Seller does not agree in good faith to any particular change or comment requested by Purchaser, then the applicable calculation contained in the Pre-Closing Statement delivered by Seller shall prevail for purposes of this Section 1.4(a)).
(b)Closing Statement. No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared in good faith and delivered to Seller (i) a statement (the “Closing Statement”) in a form substantially similar to the Pre-Closing Statement, setting forth in reasonable detail, with reasonable supporting documentation (to the extent Purchaser is reasonably able to provide such supporting documentation), Purchaser’s calculation of (A) the Closing Date Indebtedness, (B) the Closing Date Working Capital, (C) the Closing Date Cash, (D) the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and (E) the resulting calculation of the Closing Purchase Price derived therefrom, and (ii) a balance sheet of the Target as of immediately prior to the Closing, in each


case, prepared in accordance with the Accounting Rules (to the extent applicable) and the definitions and other terms included in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no actions taken by Purchaser on its own behalf or on behalf of the Target, at or following the Closing shall be given effect for purposes of determining the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses or the Closing Purchase Price derived from the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, unless Seller otherwise agrees in writing, Purchaser may not amend, adjust, supplement or modify the Closing Statement or the amount of the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses or the calculation of the Closing Purchase Price set forth therein following its delivery to Seller (in each case, except pursuant to Section 1.4(c) or Section 1.4(d)). If Purchaser fails to deliver the Closing Statement within such ninety (90) day period, then in addition to any other rights Seller may have under this Agreement, Seller shall have the right to elect that either (i) the Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Cash, the Estimated Transaction Expenses and the Estimated Working Capital be deemed to be the amount of the Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and the Closing Date Working Capital, as applicable, and be final and binding and used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4(d) or (ii) it shall, within forty-five (45) Business Days of the Purchaser’s failure to timely deliver the Closing Statement, prepare the Closing Statement and the provisions of Section 1.4(c) (excluding Section 1.4(c)(ii)) shall be applied mutatis mutandis.
(c)Disputes.
(i)Seller shall have forty-five (45) Business Days to review the Closing Statement after receipt of the Closing Statement. If Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of any of the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses or the resulting calculation of the Closing Purchase Price as set forth in the Closing Statement, Seller may, within such thirty (30) Business Day period (“Dispute Notice Period”), deliver a written notice to Purchaser (a “Dispute Notice”) disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth for each such calculation, in reasonable detail, Seller’s basis for such disagreement and Seller’s proposed calculation of such amount, with reasonable supporting documentation (to the extent Seller is reasonably able to provide such supporting documentation). If Seller fails to deliver such notice during such forty-five (45) Business Day period, Seller shall have waived Seller’s rights to contest the Closing Statement, and the calculations of the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and the resulting calculation of the Closing Purchase Price set forth therein shall be deemed to be final and binding upon the Parties and such amount shall be used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4(d).
(ii)The Dispute Notice Period shall be extended for each day that there is any undue delay by the Purchaser in providing the Seller access to the books, records, contracts, documents, information, personnel and representatives (including the Target’s


accountants) of the Target and such representatives (including the work papers of the Target’s accountants) relevant to the review or preparation of the Closing Statement and to the determination of the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and the Closing Date Cash in accordance with Section 1.4(e)(ii) (and, if requested by Seller, any such books, records, contracts, documents and information will be provided electronically to the extent reasonably practicable); provided, that prior to any such extension, Seller has provided Purchaser with written notice of any breach of this Section 1.4(c)(ii) which has resulted in such delay.
(iii)If a Dispute Notice shall be duly delivered during the Dispute Notice Period, Seller and Purchaser shall, during the forty-five (45) Business Days following such delivery, attempt to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts to determine, as may be required, the amount(s) of the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and the resulting calculation of the Closing Purchase Price as applicable (and all such negotiations related thereto shall, unless otherwise agreed by Purchaser and Seller, be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence (and any applicable similar state rule)). Any such agreement shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon the Parties. If during such period, Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement, then all amounts and items remaining in dispute will be submitted by Seller and Purchaser to RSM US LLP, or if RSM US LLP is unwilling to serve, another nationally recognized independent or neutral and impartial accounting, consulting valuation or dispute resolution firm, as mutually selected by Purchaser and Seller in writing (the “Accounting Referee”) for a determination resolving such disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or the Closing Date Working Capital, and/or the Closing Date Cash, and/or the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and the resulting calculation of the Closing Purchase Price (it being agreed and understood that the Accounting Referee shall act as an expert to determine such disputed items or amounts (and, as a result thereof, to the extent in dispute, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and the resulting calculation of the Closing Purchase Price) and shall do so based solely on presentations and information provided by Purchaser and Seller and not by independent review). Promptly after its appointment, the Accounting Referee shall determine the process and procedures governing the resolution of any disputed items by the Accounting Referee (it being agreed and understood that such process shall include, at a minimum, appropriate measures to ensure compliance by the applicable Parties with Section 1.4(e) and the process and procedures for the submission of any written presentations by Seller and Purchaser and the time periods thereof). In conducting its review, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Statement and Purchaser’s calculations of the Closing Date Indebtedness and/or the Closing Date Working Capital and/or the Closing Date Cash and/or the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and the resulting calculation of the Closing Purchase Price as to which Seller has disagreed in a Dispute Notice duly delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(c)(i). The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Referee shall be limited to matters still in dispute as specifically set forth in the Dispute Notice (and only to the extent such matters are still


in dispute) and, with respect to such matters, fixing mathematical errors and determining whether the items in dispute were determined in accordance with this Agreement (including the definitions of the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and the Accounting Rules) and the Accounting Referee is not to make any other determination. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any ex parte communications with the Accounting Referee. The Accounting Referee shall be instructed to deliver to Seller and Purchaser, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date the process and procedures governing the resolution of any disputed items by the Accounting Referee are determined in accordance with this Section 1.4(c)(iii), or such other date as mutually agreed by the Parties and the Accounting Referee), a written report setting forth in reasonable detail its calculations (and the basis therefor) of the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash or the Closing Date Transaction Expenses (as applicable) and the resulting calculation of the Closing Purchase Price, which amount(s) shall, in each case, be within the range of amounts claimed for each item of dispute between Purchaser and Seller. Absent any manifest error or Fraud, such report shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall be used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4(d). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the dispute resolution mechanism contained in this Section 1.4(c) shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes regarding the Purchaser’s calculations of the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and the resulting calculation of the Closing Purchase Price as set forth in the Closing Statement, if any. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Referee in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced.
(iv)If Seller and Purchaser submit disputed amounts and items to the Accounting Referee for resolution, Seller and Purchaser shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 1.4(c). The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, in proportion to the relative amount each of Seller’s and Purchaser’s determination has been modified such that the Party prevailing on the greatest dollar value of such disputes pays for the lesser proportion of the fees. For example, if Seller challenges the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital by an amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S.$100,000), but the Accounting Referee determines that Seller has a valid claim for only Sixty Thousand Dollars (U.S.$60,000), Seller shall bear forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee and Purchaser shall bear the other sixty percent (60%) of such fees and expenses.
(d)Final Adjustment. Following the time that the amounts of the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and the resulting calculation of the Closing Purchase Price are finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4 (such final determination of the Closing Purchase Price, the “Final Purchase Price”):


(i)if (x) the Final Purchase Price is equal to or greater than (y) the Estimated Purchase Price (such excess of (x) over (y), the “Surplus”), then Purchaser shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.4, pay to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller, an amount equal to the Surplus; or
(ii)if (x) the Final Purchase Price is less than (y) the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.2 (such deficit of (x) relative to (y), the “Deficit”), then Seller shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.4, pay Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser, an amount equal to the Deficit.
(iii)Upon payment of the amounts provided in this Section 1.4(d) in accordance herewith, none of the Parties may make or assert any claim under this Section 1.4. The Parties agree to treat any payment made pursuant to this Section 1.4 as an adjustment to Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.
(e)Cooperation. During (i) the period of time from and after the submission of disputed amounts and items to the Accounting Referee for resolution and continuing through the final determination of the Final Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 1.4, Seller shall and shall cause Seller’s representatives to, and Purchaser shall and shall cause the Target and each of Purchaser’s and the Target’s representatives to, reasonably cooperate and assist in any review by the Accounting Referee of the Closing Statement and the calculations of the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Transaction Expenses and the Closing Date Cash and in the conduct of the review referred to in this Section 1.4 and (ii) the Dispute Notice Period, Purchaser shall afford, and shall cause the Target to afford, to Seller and any accountants, counsel or financial advisers retained by Seller, reasonable access during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to the books, records, contracts, documents, information, personnel and representatives (including the Target’s and Purchaser’s accountants) of the Target and such representatives (including the work papers of the Target’s and Purchaser’s accountants) (and, if requested by Seller, any such books, records, contracts, documents and information will be provided electronically to the extent reasonably practicable), in each case, (A) for the purpose of and to the extent necessary for Seller’s review of the Closing Statement and the determination of the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Closing Date Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash, and the Closing Date Transaction Expenses therein (subject, solely in respect of books, records, contracts, documents and information held by Target’s or Purchaser’s representatives, to execution of customary confidentiality agreements and access letters, as applicable) and (B) subject to the Access Restrictions, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. Seller acknowledges and agrees that all access and information afforded by Purchaser or Target to Seller or any of its accountants, counsel or financial advisers pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall constitute Target Confidential Information and shall be subject to Section 7.3(b).


(f)Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties intend that, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, the purchase and sale of the Membership Interests pursuant to Section 1.1 be treated as a taxable asset purchase. The Purchase Price plus any liabilities assumed, to the extent treated as consideration for applicable Tax purposes, shall be allocated among the assets of the Target for tax reporting purposes (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) in accordance with the methodology set forth on Exhibit C, which the Parties acknowledge is consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Allocation Methodology”). Within sixty (60) days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.4(d), Purchaser shall prepare and deliver a draft Purchase Price Allocation to Seller in accordance with the Allocation Methodology. Thereafter, Seller shall have thirty (30) days to either: (i) agree with and accept the Purchase Price Allocation (which upon such acceptance shall be the “Final Allocation Schedule”) or (ii) suggest reasonable changes to the Purchase Price Allocation which Purchaser shall incorporate to the extent necessary to conform to the Allocation Methodology (which upon Purchaser’s consideration and, if agreed, incorporation, shall be the “Final Allocation Schedule”). Seller and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall report and file all Tax Returns, forms or reports (including IRS Form 8594) for all Tax purposes consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, any obligations of the Target with respect to deferred revenue or prepaid amounts that are treated as assumed for tax purposes by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement shall not be treated as giving rise to taxable income of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates under the principles of James M. Pierce Corp., 326 F.2d 67 (8th Cir. 1964).
(g)Exchange Rate. If in connection with the determination of any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement it is necessary to convert amounts denominated in a currency other than United States dollars into United States dollars, the conversion of such amounts will be made as set forth on Exhibit A.
(h)Withholding. Purchaser (and its Affiliates and agents) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller or any other Person such amounts as Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment; provided, that, prior to any such deduction or withholding on payments to Seller (other than any deduction or withholding as a result of Seller’s failure to deliver an IRS Form W-9), Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller notice of such deduction or withholding and an opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation to minimize or eliminate such withholding tax. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

(v)Purchaser has fully paid (or caused to be paid) any and all commitment fees and other amounts that are due and payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with the Debt Financing; and
(vi)neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates have entered into any agreement, side letter or other arrangement relating to the Debt Financing, other than as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Debt Fee Letter that could affect the full availability of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date.
(c)Adequate Proceeds. The aggregate proceeds of the Debt Financing, together with other cash on hand, will be sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the making of all payments to be made by or on behalf of Purchaser on the Closing Date, as well as all related fees and expenses, required to be made in accordance with this Agreement, assuming the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and 8.2 are satisfied on the Closing Date.


(d)Conditions to Commitments. As of the date hereof, there are no conditions precedent or other contractual contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing, other than the Financing Conditions. As of the date hereof, the Purchaser has no reason to believe that they or any other party thereto will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term of the Debt Commitment Letter. The Debt Commitment Letter provides that the only conditions precedent related to the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date that will be included in the Debt Financing Documents will be the Financing Conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter. As of the date hereof, the Purchaser has no reason to believe that subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 (i) any of the Financing Conditions will not be satisfied, (ii) that any fact or occurrence exists that makes any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser in the Debt Commitment Letter inaccurate in any material respect, or (iii) the Debt Financing will not be made available to Purchaser on the Closing Date.
(e)Effect on Condition to Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Seller and Target agree that a breach of this representation and warranty will not result in the failure of a condition precedent to Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, if (notwithstanding such breach) Purchaser is willing and able to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date.
(f)Financing Not a Condition. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are not in any way contingent upon or otherwise subject to or conditional upon Purchaser’s consummation of the Debt Financing or any financing arrangements.
5.6Investment. Purchaser is acquiring the Membership Interests for its own account and for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. Purchaser acknowledges that the Membership Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law and Purchaser must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Membership Interests until and unless the offer and sale of such Membership Interests is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws or an exemption from such registration is applicable. Purchaser has conducted an examination of available information relating to the Target and its business, Purchaser has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating an investment in the Membership Interests, and Purchaser can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Membership Interests and can afford a complete loss of such investment.
5.7Foreign Person. Purchaser is not a "foreign person," as defined at 31 C.F.R. § 800.224, and is not otherwise controlled by a "foreign person," as defined at 31 C.F.R. § 800.224.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Purchaser nor the Target shall (x) have any obligation under the first sentence of this Section 7.1(d) with respect to personal property (including equipment and hardware) both possessed and held by a third-party (including any customer of the Target) or (y) shall have no liability in respect of a breach under this Section 7.1(d) unless Seller shall have provided Purchaser with written notice of such breach and a reasonable opportunity to cure.

7.3Confidentiality.
(a)The Parties acknowledge that the information provided to the other Party and its Affiliates and Representatives in connection with this Agreement (including Section 7.1 hereof) and the Transaction is subject to the terms of the mutual non-disclosure agreement, dated August 20, 2024 by and between Purchaser and Seller (the “Non-disclosure Agreement”). Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Non-disclosure Agreement shall terminate and thereafter be of no force or effect with respect to the Business and the Target; provided that the Parties acknowledge that all of their other obligations under the Non-disclosure Agreement, including with respect to confidential information regarding Purchaser and Seller and their Affiliates, other than regarding the Business, shall continue to remain, subject to the terms and conditions of the Non-disclosure Agreement.
(b)Seller acknowledges that Seller and its Affiliates have confidential, proprietary or non-public information about the Target and the Business (“Target Confidential Information”) and agrees that, from and after the Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, disclose to any other Person or use (or permit to be disclosed or used) in any way any such Target Confidential Information, unless (i) compelled to disclose such Target Confidential Information pursuant to an Order or, in the opinion of its counsel, by other requirements of Law and, in any such event, Seller shall, to the extent not prohibited by Law, provide Purchaser with prompt written notice of any such requirement prior to any such disclosure and provide reasonable assistance to Purchaser in obtaining an order protecting the information from public disclosure. In the event that such protective order or other similar remedy is not obtained, Seller or its applicable Affiliates shall disclose only that portion of Target Confidential Information that has been legally compelled, based on the advice of legal counsel, and shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such disclosed Target Confidential Information. Seller hereby agrees, and shall cause its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ Representatives, to protect Target Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of Target Confidential Information as Seller or its applicable Affiliate uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature. There shall be no restriction on the disclosure or use of Target Confidential


Information that is generally available to the public through no fault of Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives.

If so requested by the other Party, the requesting Party shall enter into a customary joint defense agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such other Party with respect to any information to be provided to the requesting Party pursuant to this Section 7.4.
7.5Publicity. The Parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be in the form mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. Neither Seller nor Purchaser nor any of their respective Affiliates shall issue any other press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Transaction or make any other public disclosure containing or pertaining to the terms of this Agreement without obtaining Seller’s or Purchaser’s, as applicable, prior written approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless, in the judgment of the Party seeking to disclose, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which such disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates lists securities; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein, (a) each of the Parties and their Affiliates may issue press releases or make public announcements concerning the Transaction that are consistent with previous press releases or public announcements made by Seller or Purchaser in compliance with this Section 7.5 and (b) Purchaser and its Affiliates may make public statements with respect to the anticipated effect of this Agreement and the Transaction on Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ business and financial projections, including with investors, analysts and financing sources and including on its periodic earnings calls and in any “road show,” and any public disclosure as required by the SEC, FINRA or other Governmental Authority as Purchaser may reasonably determine.

or one of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Target) during the Term of the Transition Services Agreement are known as “Business Employees;” provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such Person shall be a Business Employee until such time as such Person commences employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Target).

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the terms of the New Plans, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) provide that each Business Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Benefit Plan in which such Business Employee participated immediately before such replacement; (y) waive all pre-existing condition exclusion and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods, and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by a Business Employee (or covered dependent thereof) under any Benefit Plan prior to the Closing; and (z) cause any covered expenses incurred on or before the Closing by a Business Employee (or covered dependent thereof) to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying


applicable deductible, coinsurance, and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable New Plan for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs (to the same extent as such expenses would have been taken into account under the corresponding Benefit Plan).
(d)Without limiting Section 7.6(b), following the Closing, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, Purchaser shall or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to credit each Business Employee with all of the paid time off, vacation, annual leave and sick leave days each such Business Employee has accrued but not used prior to the Closing for use following the Closing in accordance with the applicable paid time off, vacation, annual leave and sick leave policies of Purchaser or one of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Target) as in effect from time to time or as required by applicable Laws.
(e)In the event the Closing Date occurs prior to the payment of bonuses under the annual cash bonus plan set forth in Section 7.6(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule for 2024, Purchaser shall cause each Business Employee to be paid an annual bonus in respect of 2024 in the ordinary course (and at the time ordinarily paid) in an amount, if any, determined in accordance with the terms of the bonus plan and based on performance for 2024; provided that such Business Employee remains in employment with the Target on the payment date.
(f)From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Target to comply with, and shall be responsible for any failure to comply with, and bear any and all liability under, the requirements of the WARN Act, irrespective of whether any underlying facts and circumstances occurred before the Closing.
(g)The Seller Group shall be solely responsible for complying with the requirements of COBRA, including provision of “continuation coverage” with respect to all Service Providers and “qualified beneficiaries” of such Service Providers for whom a “qualifying event” occurs at any time on or prior to the Closing Date.
(h)Subject to Target’s obligations to reimburse Seller pursuant to the TSA, the Parties acknowledge and agree that all Seller Group Employee Liabilities shall be and remain solely obligations of the Seller Group, and the Seller Group shall remain solely liable for, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not assume or otherwise incur any obligation with respect to, any Seller Group Employee Liabilities. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller Group shall be solely responsible for any and all obligations arising under any Seller Group Benefit Plan at any time. No Business Employee shall accrue any benefits under any Seller Group Benefit Plan in respect of service with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Target) after the Closing Date.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but subject to Section 11.13 and this Section 9.4(d), each of the Parties expressly acknowledges and agrees that the right of Seller to receive payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 9.4(a) and any amounts payable under Section 9.4(c) shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller, the Target and their respective Affiliates and any of their respective former, current or future, direct or indirect, general or limited partners, equityholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, Representatives, successors or assigns (collectively, the “Seller Related Parties”) and all other Persons against Purchaser, the Debt Financing Sources, their respective Affiliates and any of their respective former, current or future, direct or indirect, general or limited partners, equityholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, Representatives, successors or assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Related Parties”) for all Losses and Liabilities in respect of, related to or arising out of this Agreement or the termination thereof, the Transaction Agreements, any agreements contemplated by or referred to in this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any failure to consummate such transactions), and upon (i) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 and (ii) if and solely to the extent payable, payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee to Seller pursuant to Section 9.4(a), none of the Purchaser Related Parties shall have any further Liability or obligation to the Seller Related Parties or any other Person in respect of, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the termination thereof, the Transaction Agreements, any agreements contemplated by or referred to in this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any failure to consummate such transactions) (except that Purchaser shall continue solely to be obligated to Seller for amounts payable under Section 9.4(c)). Without limiting the foregoing, the


sole monetary liability of the Purchaser Related Parties in connection with this Agreement (including the Debt Financing) shall be limited to Purchaser’s payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee, and no Seller Related Party shall seek or obtain, nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives or any other Person on its or their behalf to seek or obtain, nor shall any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any recovery or award or any damages of any kind (including damages for the loss of the benefit of the bargain, opportunity cost, loss of premium, time value of money or otherwise, or any consequential, special, expectancy, indirect or punitive damages), other than the Purchaser Termination Fee to the extent payable in accordance with the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) Seller will be entitled to seek specific performance to cause the Closing to occur solely to the extent permitted by Section 11.13 prior to terminating this Agreement and triggering payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee, but no Party or Parties shall be entitled to both specific performance or any other equitable remedy to cause the Closing to occur pursuant to Section 11.13 and payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee, and under no circumstances shall Purchaser be obligated to both specifically perform its obligations to consummate the Closing, on the one hand, and pay the Purchaser Termination Fee, on the other hand; (y) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser may elect to consummate the Closing after receipt of written notice of termination in lieu of paying the Purchaser Termination Fee; and (z) in no event shall Purchaser be obligated to pay the Purchaser Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Purchaser Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events.

(c)The Parties acknowledge and agree that if the Target suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Losses as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.1(a), in the event of Fraud or Willful Breach by the Target or Seller of any representation or warranty made by the Target or Seller in this Agreement or the Target Closing Certificate, such representation or warranty, solely as to such claim for Fraud or Willful Breach hereunder, shall survive by the Closing until sixty (60) days after the date on which all statutes of limitation applicable to such claims (as the same may be extended or waived) shall have expired.
(e)The Seller has agreed that the Indemnitees’ rights to indemnification, compensation and reimbursement contained in this Article 10 relating to the representations and warranties (as and to the extent qualified by the Seller Disclosure Schedule), covenants and obligations of the Target and Seller are part of the basis of the bargain contemplated by this Agreement; and such representations and warranties (as and to the extent qualified by the Seller Disclosure Schedule), covenants and obligations, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnitees with respect thereto, shall not be waived, limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of (and the Indemnitees shall be deemed to have relied upon such representations and warranties (as and to the extent qualified by the Seller Disclosure Schedule), covenants or obligations notwithstanding) any information furnished to or any knowledge on the part of any of the Indemnitees or any of their Representatives (regardless of whether obtained through any investigation by any Indemnitee or any Representative of any Indemnitee or through disclosure by Seller, the Target or any other Person, and regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement) or by reason of the fact that an Indemnitee or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any representation or warranty is or might be inaccurate or untrue.
10.2Indemnification. From and after the Closing, Seller shall hold harmless and indemnify the Purchaser from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse the Purchaser for, any Losses which are suffered or incurred by the Purchaser or to which the Purchaser may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third-party claim) and which arise from or as a result of:
(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or the Target contained in (i) this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement or as if such representation or warranty had been made on and as of the Closing Date (or with respect to representations and warranties of Seller or the Target that address matters only as of a particular time, any inaccuracy in or breach of such representation or warranty of Seller or the Target as of such time) (subject to Section 10.3(g) and the Materiality Scrape Exclusions) or (ii) the Target Closing Certificate;
(b)regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Seller Disclosure Schedule, any claim or right asserted or held by any Person who is or at any time was

(d)any Transaction Expenses to the extent not accounted for in the Final Purchase Price; and
(e)any Related Party Arrangement (other than the Contract set forth on Section 10.2(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule).
10.3Limitations.
(a)Subject to Section 10.3(c), Seller shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 10.2(a) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties of Seller or the Target in this Agreement or the Target Closing Certificate until such time as the total amount of all Losses (including the Losses arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Losses arising from any other inaccuracies in or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnitees as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties of Seller or the Target in this Agreement or the Target Closing Certificate, or to which any one or more of the Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties of Seller or the Target in this Agreement or the Target Closing Certificate, exceeds U.S.$2,000,000 (the “Deductible”) in the aggregate (it being understood that if the total amount of such Losses exceeds the Deductible, then


the Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed only for such Losses that are in excess of the Deductible).
(b)The maximum aggregate liability of Seller for indemnification claims under Section 10.2(a) shall be equal to U.S.$11,500,000 (the “Cap”).
(c)The limitations set forth in Section 10.3(a) and Section 10.3(b) shall not apply to any claim for indemnification to the extent such claim arises from or is a result of or directly or indirectly connected with, any breach of a Seller Fundamental Representation or any Fraud or Willful Breach by Seller or the Target (regardless of whether such actions have been authorized).
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of Fraud with respect to any representation or warranty made by Seller or the Target in this Agreement or the Target Closing Certificate or any Willful Breach of this Agreement by Seller or the Target, in no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for Losses under this Article 10 in excess of the Purchase Price.
(e)The amount of any Losses that the Purchaser may be entitled to recover shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any third-party insurance proceeds actually recovered by the Purchaser or the Target from any third-party insurance carrier (net of any increase in insurance premiums, costs of collections, deductible, retroactive or other premium adjustment, reimbursement obligation or other costs directly related to the insurance claim (together, “Insurance Costs”)) and (ii) the amount of any indemnity or contribution actually recovered by the Purchaser or the Target from any third party, net of any costs incurred in connection with recovering any such amounts. If the Purchaser and / or the Target receive any such amounts under applicable insurance policies, third-party indemnification or contribution payments subsequent to its receipt of an indemnification payment by Seller, then any excess Losses amount actually collected (net of costs and expenses of such recovery and Insurance Costs) shall offset any future Losses to which the Purchaser is entitled to recover pursuant to this Article 10.
(f)Absent Fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement by Seller or the Target, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article 10 are the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing as to all Losses (and any other damages, claims or causes of action of any kind or nature) the Purchaser may incur arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Transaction (it being understood that nothing in this Section 10.3(f) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the parties’ rights (including rights to specific performance or other equitable remedies) with respect to the covenants referred to in this Agreement or to be performed after the Closing or any rights or remedies arising out of claims Purchaser or the Target may have under any Transaction Agreement other than this Agreement).
(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for all purposes of Article 10, each representation or warranty of Seller or the Target contained in this Agreement or any statement or certificate delivered by Seller or the Target pursuant to this


Agreement shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any Target Material Adverse Effect, Seller Material Adverse Effect or other materiality qualification contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representation or warranty, including for the purposes of determining the amount of Losses indemnifiable hereunder and whether a representation or warranty has been breached or is inaccurate; provided that (i) the word “Material” contained in the defined terms “Material Contract,” and (ii) the Target Material Adverse Effect and Seller Material Adverse Effect qualifiers contained in Section 3.6(c) will not be disregarded (the “Materiality Scrape Exclusions”).
(h)Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps required by applicable Law to mitigate any Losses under Section 10.2(a) upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Losses.
(i)Seller (for itself and each of its Affiliates (other than the Target)) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledges and agrees that any release of liability granted or purported to be granted in favor of the Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Target) under, pursuant to, in connection with or otherwise relating to the Novation Agreements (a “Purported Release”) is null and void as between the Seller and any of its Affiliates (other than the Target), on the one hand, and the Purchaser and any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Target), on the other hand with respect to any Liability or obligation that Seller or any of its Affiliates has under this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements. In no event will the terms of any Novation Agreement relieve Seller or any of its Affiliates from any Liability or obligation under this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements. With respect to any claim by Purchase or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, Seller (for itself and each of its Affiliates (other than the Target)) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it shall not assert, and hereby waives any right to assert that Seller or its Affiliates has a right of contribution from Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Target) under this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements as a result of any Purported Release.
10.4Claims and Procedures.
(a) If Purchaser determines in good faith that it has a bona fide claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10, Purchaser may deliver to Seller a certificate signed by any officer of Purchaser (any certificate delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.4(a) an “Officer’s Claim Certificate”):
(i)stating that Purchaser has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10;
(ii)to the extent reasonably practicable, containing a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount to which Purchaser claims to be entitled to receive,


which shall be the amount of Losses Purchaser claims to have so incurred or suffered or could reasonably be expected to incur or suffer; and
(iii)specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Purchaser following reasonable inquiry) the material facts known to Purchaser giving rise to such claim.
(b)No delay in providing such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall affect Purchaser’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) Seller is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.
(c)If Seller in good faith objects to any claim made by Purchaser in any Officer’s Claim Certificate, then Seller shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser during the thirty (30)-day period commencing upon receipt by Seller of the Officer’s Claim Certificate. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by Purchaser in the Officer’s Claim Certificate. If Seller does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to Purchaser prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, then each claim for indemnification set forth in such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in Purchaser’s favor for purposes of this Article 10 on the terms set forth in the Officer’s Claim Certificate.
(d)If Seller delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then Purchaser and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by Seller in such Claim Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and Seller agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by Purchaser and Seller shall be prepared and signed by both parties.
(e)If no such resolution can be reached during the forty-five (45)-day period following Purchaser’s receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such forty-five (45)-day period, either Purchaser or Seller may bring suit to resolve the objection in accordance with Sections 11.3(c) and 11.5. The decision of the trial court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be nonappealable, binding and conclusive upon Purchaser and Seller. Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
10.5Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion of any claim or the commencement by any Person of any Proceeding against Purchaser with respect to which Seller may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse Purchaser pursuant to this Article 10 (each, a “Claim”), Purchaser will, promptly after receipt of notice of any such Claim, notify Seller of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Purchaser to so notify Seller shall not limit any of the obligations Seller under this Article 10 (except to the extent such failure actually and materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding). Purchaser shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with, and to control, the defense of such Claim on its own; provided, however, that Seller and its counsel (at Seller’s sole


expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Claim in a manner that would not result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege or any other legal privilege. If Purchaser so proceeds with the defense of any such Claim, Seller shall make available to Purchaser any documents and materials in such Person’s possession or control that may be reasonably necessary to the defense of such Claim. Purchaser will Seller written notice of Purchaser’s intention to settle any such Claim at least ten days prior to the settlement of any such Claim. Other than the settlement of a Claim with respect to which Losses do not exceed the Cap, (a) Purchaser shall not settle any Claim without the consent of Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (b) no settlement without the consent of Seller shall be dispositive of whether such Claim represented an indemnifiable matter hereunder in the first place or determinative of the existence or amount of Losses relating to such matter for which Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that in the event that Seller has consented to any such settlement, Seller shall have no power or authority to object to such Claim and the payment of Losses in respect thereof.

Article 11​

MISCELLANEOUS
11.1Release.
(a)Purchaser, for itself and on behalf of the other Purchaser Released Parties (including, after the Closing, the Target) (collectively, the “Purchaser Releasing Parties”), acknowledges and agrees that, from and after and effective as of the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any of the Seller Released Parties relating to the operation of the Target at or prior to the Closing, whether arising under, or based upon, any Law or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law) are hereby irrevocably and unconditionally released and forever discharged; provided, however, that the foregoing release does not cover (and, for purposes of clarity, such matters are not hereby released or discharged): (i) any claims or rights arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement (including in respect of Fraud), (ii) any claims against current or former employees of the Target for acts or omissions taken in such capacity or (iii) claims which cannot be waived under applicable Law.
(b)Seller, for itself and on behalf of the other Seller Released Parties (collectively, the “Seller Releasing Parties” and with the Purchaser Releasing Parties, the “Releasing Parties”) acknowledges and agrees that, from and after and effective as of the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any of the Purchaser Released Parties (including the Target) relating to the operation of the Target or the Business at or prior to the Closing or to any ownership or other interest of Seller or any Seller Released Party in the Target or the Business, whether arising under,


or based upon, any Law or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law) are hereby irrevocably and unconditionally released and forever discharged; provided, however, that the foregoing release does not cover (and, for purposes of clarity, such matters are not hereby released or discharged) any claims or rights arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement (including in respect of Fraud) or claims which cannot be waived under applicable Law.
(c)Each of Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge, for itself and on behalf of the other Purchaser Releasing Parties or Seller Releasing Parties, as applicable, that the legal requirements of certain states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” Each of Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge, for itself and on behalf of the other Purchaser Releasing Parties and Seller Releasing Parties, as applicable, that such legal requirements are designed to protect a Person from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, each of Purchaser and Seller knowingly and irrevocably hereby acknowledge and agree, for itself and on behalf of the other Purchaser Releasing Parties and Seller Releasing Parties, as applicable, that, from and after the Closing, Purchaser and the other Purchaser Releasing Parties and Seller and the other Seller Releasing Parties shall be deemed to waive their rights under any such legal requirements.
11.2Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated hereby or thereby and the Transaction, whether or not the Transaction is consummated.
11.3Taxes.
(a)All transfer, sales, use, value added, excise, stamp, recording, documentary, registration and any other similar Taxes (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes based on income or gain of the Seller Group) (“Transfer Taxes”) that are imposed by any Governmental Authority in connection with the purchase and sale of the Membership Interests shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser. Purchaser will duly and timely prepare any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes, and Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns. For the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer Taxes that are imposed with respect to any transfers of assets or funds of the Business to Target or transfers of assets or funds of the Retained Business to the Seller Group shall be borne and paid by Seller, and Seller will duly and timely prepare any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.


(b)Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to Taxes of the Target, including access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any Tax elections or the defense of any audit, claim, notice or other Proceeding by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable. Seller agrees that, for income Tax purposes, it will continue to treat the Target as an entity disregarded as separate from Seller up to and through the time of the Closing and will treat the purchase and sale of the Membership Interests pursuant to Section 1.1 as a taxable asset sale. Furthermore, unless otherwise elected by Purchaser, Seller agrees to cause the Target to be included in any consolidated, combined, unitary or similar Tax Return filed by Seller or its Affiliates for any Pre-Closing Period to the extent such Tax Return has historically included the Target and to pay all Taxes due in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser will have no right to review any Tax Return of Seller that is prepared on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis and Seller will have no right to review any Tax Return of Purchaser or its Affiliates.
(c)Except as otherwise required to comply with applicable Law or a Governmental Authority, neither Purchaser nor any of their Affiliates shall, without the prior consent of the Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (i) make any amendment of any previously filed Tax Returns of the Target to the extent such Tax Returns relate to or include any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) make any Tax election with respect to the Target that has retroactive effect to any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (iii) extend or waive, or cause or permit to be extended or waived, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency of the Target related to a Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (iv) cause the Target to file a Tax Return relating to a Pre-Closing Period in any jurisdiction in which the Target did not file such Tax Return prior to the Closing or (v) initiate any voluntary disclosure or similar proceeding with any Governmental Authority relating to any Tax payment or Tax Return filing obligation of the Target for any Pre-Closing Period. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall not take any of the actions described in clauses (i) through (v).
(d)For purposes of allocating Taxes of the Target for any Tax period beginning on or before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) under Section 10.2(c)(i), (i) all real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar ad valorem Taxes shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Period and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date based on the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Pre-Closing Period and the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date (a “Post-Closing Tax Period”) and (ii) Taxes not described in clause (i) of the Target for any Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the day on the Closing Date.


(e)The Parties agree that all income, gains, losses and deductions of the Target through (and including) the Closing Date will be reported on the income Tax Returns of Seller.
11.4Governing Law. This Agreement, and any action, arbitration, suit, or other Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement), the Transaction, or the legal relationship of the Parties (whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort, or otherwise), shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, that apply to agreements made and performed entirely within the State of Delaware, irrespective of the choice of laws principles of the State of Delaware, as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance, and remedies and in respect of the statute of limitations or any other limitations period applicable to any claim, controversy, or dispute.
11.5Forum and Venue. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4, any action, suit, or other Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement), the Transaction or the legal relationship of the Parties (whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort, or otherwise), including an action, suit, or other Proceeding based upon intentional misrepresentation, willful breach, willful misconduct, or fraud, shall be brought or otherwise commenced exclusively in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware). Each Party: (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of each state and federal court located in Delaware (and each appellate court located in the same) in connection with any such action, suit, or Proceeding; and (ii) agrees that each state and federal court located in Delaware shall be deemed to be a convenient forum; and (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise), in any such action, suit, or Proceeding commenced in any state or federal court located in Delaware, any claim that such Party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such action, suit or Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such action, suit, or Proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court. The Parties hereby agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action, suit, or Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 11.10 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
11.6Further Assurances. After the Closing, each Party shall from time to time, at the request of and without further cost or expense to the other, execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and assumption and take such other actions as may reasonably be requested in order to more effectively consummate the Transaction. Without limitation of the foregoing, from time to time on or after the Closing, at the written request of Purchaser (email being sufficient), at the expense of Seller, Seller and the Purchaser will (and Seller shall cause its Affiliates to) execute and deliver such further instruments, certificates, agreements and other


documents and perform such other actions as Purchaser may reasonably require to more effectively (a) vest in Purchaser all of Seller’s right, interest and title in and to the Membership Interests or (b) transfer to the Target any asset owned by Seller or any of its Affiliates (excluding (i) the Excluded Assets, (ii) any Seller Provided Services and (iii) any Intellectual Property Rights) that would be required to be transferred to the Target prior to the Closing in order to make the representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.8(c) true and correct in all respects. In the event that, on or after the Closing, a Party receives payments or funds due or belonging to another Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements, then the Party receiving such payments or funds shall promptly forward or cause to be promptly forwarded such payments or funds to the proper Party (with appropriate endorsements, as applicable), and will account to such other Party for all such receipts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after Closing, promptly upon request from Purchaser (email being sufficient), Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates to, at the sole cost and expense of Seller, execute and deliver such instruments, certificates, agreements and other documents and take and perform all actions necessary, appropriate or required to irrevocably and completely terminate any Related Party Arrangement (other than the Contract set forth on Section 10.2(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule) without any further liability or obligation to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Target).

11.7Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) and the other Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior Contracts or agreements, whether oral or written. The Parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the Transaction exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement and, other than in the case of Fraud, the Parties expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement.
11.8Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented or modified except by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by (a) Purchaser and (b) Seller; provided, that the observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Party that shall lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver.
11.9Waivers.

11.11Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent: (a) such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, and only to the extent, of such unenforceability or prohibition and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Law, (b) such unenforceability or prohibition in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision as applied (i) to other Persons or circumstances or (ii) in any other jurisdiction, and (c) such unenforceability or prohibition shall not affect or invalidate any other provision of this Agreement. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to make the provision in question valid, enforceable or legal, and to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
11.12Remedies. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded to the Parties hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, shall be cumulative and not alternative, and any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by Law, equity or otherwise.
11.13Specific Performance.
(a)The Parties agree that irreparable damage could occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies available at Law, each Party shall, subject to the provisions and limitation of Sections 11.13(b) and 11.13(c), be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance or other injunctive relief without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Without limitation of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (other than the terms of this Section 11.13), the Parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, Seller or Purchaser shall, subject to the provisions and limitation of Sections 11.13(b) and 11.13(c), be entitled to specific performance if Purchaser or Seller, respectively, fails to complete the Closing if and when required to complete the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1 and to cause the Transaction to be consummated,


including to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 2.1, on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall this Section 11.13 be used, alone or together with any other provision of this Agreement, to require any Party to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty of such Party made herein.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained in this Agreement, the right to specific performance or injunctive relief to cause Purchaser to consummate the Closing will be held solely by Seller, and such remedy will be available to Seller if (and only if) each of the following will have been satisfied: (i) all conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 have been satisfied (other than conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing; provided, that such conditions would have been satisfied if the Closing were to occur) and remain satisfied as of the Closing; (ii) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded if Purchaser fulfills its obligations hereunder (assuming the substantially simultaneous funding of the Debt Financing); (iii) Seller and the Target have irrevocably confirmed in writing to Purchaser that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.3 have been satisfied (other than conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing; provided, that such conditions would have been satisfied if the Closing were to occur) or that each of Seller and the Target is willing to irrevocably waive any such conditions that remain unsatisfied; (iv) Seller and the Target have irrevocably confirmed by written notice to Purchaser that if specific performance is granted and Purchaser performs its obligations hereunder as required hereunder in order for the Closing to occur, then the Closing will occur; and (v) Purchaser fails to consummate the Closing on the date when the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.1. Seller may seek both receipt of the Purchaser Termination Fee and specific enforcement of Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the Closing, but in no event will Seller or the Target be entitled in any circumstances to both (1) actually receive the Purchaser Termination Fee and (2) enforcement specifically of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing which results in the Closing actually occurring.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall any Party (nor any Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Representatives of a Party hereto) other than Purchaser be entitled to, or be permitted to seek, specific performance directly against any of the Debt Financing Sources with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained herein, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise.

11.15Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any assignment in violation of this Section 11.15 shall be null and void ab initio; provided that, following Closing, Purchaser may, in whole or from time to time in part, in its sole discretion and without the prior written consent of Seller or the Target, transfer or assign any or all of its or the Target’s rights, interests, claims, obligations or proceeds hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates or successors at any time or to any Person in connection with the sale or other divestiture of the Business; provided that such transfer or assignment shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of Seller or the Target.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection and expectation of client confidence involving matters of the Target other than those matters covered by Section 11.16(a) and arising prior to the Closing and all communications, information and documents covered by such privilege, protection or expectation shall be retained and controlled by the Target, and may be waived only by the Target. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) the foregoing attorney-client privilege, work


product protection and expectation of client confidence shall not be controlled, owned, used, waived or claimed by Seller or by any of Seller’s Affiliates upon consummation of the Closing; and (ii) in the event of a dispute between Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party, on the other hand, or any other circumstance in which a third party requests or demands that any of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates produce privileged materials or attorney work-product of the Target, Seller shall cause the applicable Affiliate of Seller to assert such attorney-client privilege or attorney-work product protection to prevent disclosure of privileged materials or attorney work-product to such third party.
(c) Each of the Parties hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, shareholders, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that (i) Hogan Lovells may serve as counsel to Seller and Seller’s Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Target, on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction, and that, following consummation of the Transaction, Hogan Lovells (or any successor) may serve as counsel to Seller and Seller’s Affiliates or any director, member, shareholder, partner, officer or employee thereof, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transaction notwithstanding such representation and (ii) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Target not to, seek or have Hogan Lovells (or any successor) disqualified from any such representation. Each of the Parties hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each of such Parties shall cause any of its Affiliates to consent to or waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. Each of the Parties acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the Parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection herewith. The covenants, consent and waiver contained in this Section 11.16(c) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, Seller’s and Seller’s Affiliates’ counsel and their legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Seller’s and Seller’s Affiliates’ counsel is entitled whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise.
