Section 1.6Assumption and Assignment of Contracts.

(a)Schedule 2.6(a) is a list of all material Contracts of the Sellers that are capable of assumption and assignment pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Assignable Contracts”). At the Sale Hearing (notice of which shall be properly and timely served on all non-Sellers counterparties to Assignable Contracts by the Sellers), the Sellers shall seek authority to assume and assign to the Buyer those Assignable Contracts that are, or that become (pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.6(f) below), Assumed Contracts.

(b)Subject to Section 2.6(g), the Assumed Contracts shall be assumed by the Sellers and assigned to the Buyer at the Closing pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c)Schedule 2.6(a) sets forth those Contracts that the Buyer has determined shall not be assigned and assumed to it, which shall be designated as “Excluded Contracts” (the “Excluded Contracts”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer shall not be liable for any Liabilities in respect of any Contract from and after the time of its designation as an Excluded Contract, and any Liabilities arising under, relating to, or in connection with such Excluded Contract shall be deemed Excluded Liabilities for all purposes under this Agreement.

(d)At the Closing (subject to Section 2.6(g)), Buyer shall pay any Cure Amounts due in connection with the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Contracts as set forth in the Sale Order for which all necessary Consents required by the Bankruptcy Code to transfer have been obtained, and the Buyer will assume and agree to perform and discharge the Assumed Liabilities under the Assumed Contracts or, such other additional or fewer Assumed Contracts as otherwise agreed by the Parties at the time of the Closing.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Contract shall not be an Assumed Contract hereunder and shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, Buyer to the extent that such Contract (i) is rejected by a Seller or terminated by a Seller in accordance with the terms hereof or by the

other party thereto, or terminates or expires by its terms, on or prior to the Closing and is not continued or otherwise extended upon assumption, or (ii) constitutes an Employee Benefit Plan or an Insurance Policy. In addition, a Permit shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, Buyer to the extent that such Permit requires a Consent of any Governmental Entity or other third party (other than, and in addition to, that of the Bankruptcy Court) in order to permit the sale or transfer to Buyer of Sellers’ rights under such Permit, and no such Consent has been obtained prior to the Closing. If any such Consent shall not be obtained, or if any attempted assignment of such Contract or Permit would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the such Contract or Permit in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of such rights, such Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the applicable Contract or Permit (and subject to any approval of the Bankruptcy Court that may be required), at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and for a period not to exceed the Contract Designation Period, shall act as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for Buyer the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the applicable Contract or Permit, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer; provided, however, that (i) Sellers shall not incur any costs associated with the obligations hereunder (including with respect to the Cure Amounts) and (ii) Sellers’ obligations hereunder shall only continue until the Chapter 11 Cases are closed or dismissed. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers in order to enable Sellers to provide to Buyer the benefits contemplated by this Section 2.6(e).

(f)From the date hereof until the expiration of the Contract Designation Period, the Sellers shall not seek Bankruptcy Court approval to reject any Assignable Contract unless and until such Assignable Contract is designated by the Buyer as an Excluded Contract or unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Buyer. Additionally, the Sellers shall file with the Bankruptcy Court such motions or pleadings as may be appropriate or otherwise as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer to preserve the Sellers’ right or ability to assume and assign any of the Assignable Contracts (including pursuant to Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code) until the expiration of the Contract Designation Period.

(g)Any Assignable Contract not designated by the Buyer as either an Assumed Contract or an Excluded Contract as of Closing shall constitute a “Designation Right Contract”. From and after the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) the entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court dismissing the Chapter 11 Cases, converting the Chapter 11 Cases to a Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or confirming a Chapter 11 plan of the Sellers, and (ii) seventy-five (75) days following the Closing Date (the “Contract Designation Period”), the Buyer shall have the right, by providing the Sellers with written notice, to amend Schedule 2.6(a) to designate any Designation Right Contract as (i) an Assumed Contract, or (ii) an Excluded Contract. Upon receipt of notice of the Buyer’s designation of a Designation Right Contract as an Assumed Contract in accordance with this Section 2.6(g) the Sellers shall promptly provide notice to the applicable non-Seller counterparty of such designation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Buyer shall pay and be solely responsible for all amounts that accrue and become due and owing under any Designation Right Contract from and after the Closing Date through the earlier to occur of (A) the expiration of the Contract Designation Period and (B) the date that is two (2) Business Days after written notice from the Buyer designating such Designation Right Contract as an Excluded Contract in accordance with this Section 2.6(g). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on the date any Designation Right Contract is designated an Assumed Contract pursuant to this Section 2.6(g), such Contract shall be deemed an Assumed Contract for all purposes under this Agreement and no further consideration shall be required to be paid by the Buyer for such Contract. Sellers shall cooperate in all respects with Buyer to provide a license or other means necessary to access any contract rights under any Designation Right Contract.

(h)If any Contract requires the payment of Cure Amounts in order to be assumed pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such Cure Amounts are undetermined on the Closing Date because a non-Seller counterparty to such Contract proposed Cure Amounts in an amount that is different than the amount of Cure Amounts proposed by the Sellers and such difference will not be resolved prior to the Closing Date (each such Contract, a “Disputed Amount Contract”), then the Sellers shall provide the Buyer, not less than three (3) days prior to

the Closing Date, with a schedule that lists each such Disputed Amount Contract and the amount of Cure Amounts that has been proposed by each such non-Seller counterparty; provided that the Sellers shall agree to any Cure Amounts for any Contract irrevocably designated by the Buyer in writing as an Assumed Contract if instructed to do so by the Buyer. If the Sellers, with the Consent of the Buyer, and the non-Seller counterparty with respect to any Disputed Amount Contract, are unable to agree on Cure Amounts for such Disputed Amount Contract within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, solely upon the Buyer’s written request, the Sellers shall, at the expense of the Buyer, seek to have the amount of Cure Amounts related to such Disputed Amount Contract determined by the Bankruptcy Court by the date that is no later than the end of the Contract Designation Period. Upon final determination of such Cure Amounts, the Buyer may elect to redesignate such Assumed Contract as an Excluded Contract. If such Assumed Contract is not so redesignated, (i) the applicable Sellers shall promptly take such steps as are reasonably necessary, including, if applicable, promptly on delivery of no less than five (5) Business Days’ notice to the non-Seller counterparty to such Contract, to cause such Contract to be assumed by the applicable Seller and assigned to the Buyer, including by executing and delivering to the Buyer an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such Assumed Contract, and (ii) the Buyer shall pay the Cure Amounts with respect to such Assumed Contract either (A) concurrently with the Sellers’ assumption and assignment thereof to the Buyer or (B) as agreed in writing by the Buyer and the applicable counterparty to such Assumed Contract, and execute and deliver to the applicable Sellers an Assignment and Assumption agreement with respect to such Assumed Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the Closing, it is discovered that a Contract that should have been listed on Schedule 2.6(a) was not so listed, the Sellers shall, to the extent the Sellers are still debtors-in-possession in the Chapter 11 Cases, promptly following the discovery thereof, notify the Buyer in writing of any such Contract and the Sellers’ good faith estimate of the amount of Cure Amounts applicable to each such Contract (and if no Cure Amount is estimated to be applicable with respect to any such Contract, the amount of such Cure Amount shall be designated for such Contract as “$0.00”), and upon the Buyer’s request, take all actions reasonably required to assume and assign to the Buyer such Contract, provided that the Buyer pay the applicable Cure Amount.

(i)The Parties agree and acknowledge that the covenants set forth in this Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing.

Section 1.7Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely by electronic exchange of counterpart signature pages commencing at 10:00 a.m. local time on the date (the “Closing Date”) that is the first Business Day after the date on which all conditions to the obligations of Sellers and Buyer to consummate the Contemplated Transactions set forth in Article VII (other than conditions with respect to actions Sellers or Buyer will take at the Closing itself, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) have been satisfied or waived, or at such other time or on such other date as shall be mutually agreed upon by Sellers and Buyer prior thereto. The Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at 12:01 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on the Closing Date.

No later than forty-five (45) days after Closing or within a reasonable time thereafter as agreed by Sellers and Buyer, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price (plus the Assumed Liabilities and any other Liabilities deemed assumed by the Buyer for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets which shall be prepared in a manner consistent with section 1060 of the IRC (the “Proposed Allocation Schedule”). After receipt

of the Proposed Allocation Schedule from Buyer, the Sellers shall have fifteen (15) days to review the Proposed Allocation Schedule. The Proposed Allocation Schedule will be considered final and binding on the Parties unless Sellers communicate to Buyer objections to the Proposed Allocation Schedule (an “Allocation Dispute Notice”). Sellers and Buyer shall, within ten (10) days (or such longer period as Sellers and Buyer may agree in writing) following delivery of an Allocation Dispute Notice (the “Allocation Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve their differences and prepare a final allocation schedule that is acceptable to both Sellers and Buyer. If Sellers and Buyer are unable to completely resolve any such differences within such ten (10) day period, then each of Sellers and Buyer shall be permitted to file their respective Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports (including on IRS Form 8594 or in any audit or other examination or proceeding relating to Taxes) in a manner that is inconsistent with the other Party, taking into account the unresolved differences with respect to the Proposed Allocation Schedule.

Section 1.10Earnest Money Deposit. Within two (2) Business Days as of the date of this Agreement, Buyer will make an earnest money deposit in the amount of $5,200,000 (the “Deposit”) to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

The Parties agree that the Sellers’ right to retain the Deposit, as set forth herein, is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Sellers for their respective efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree that if this Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which Sellers are entitled to the Deposit, except in the case of fraud, the delivery of the Deposit is the sole and exclusive remedy available to Sellers with respect to this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, and, upon delivery of the Deposit, none of the Buyer or any of its former, current or future equity holders, directors, officers, Affiliates, agents or Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Releasees”) shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement any amount as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of Tax law. In the event Buyer determines that Buyer is required to deduct and withhold and pay Taxes, Buyer shall notify the Seller of such requirement and the basis for such requirement at least five (5) days prior to any deduction and withholding. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate, as reasonably requested by the Seller to reduce the amount of deduction and withholding Taxes imposed in respect of the payment of the Purchase Price. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted by Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Buyer.

Other than statements made in the Bankruptcy Court (or in pleadings filed therein), no Party shall issue (prior to, on or after the Closing) any press release or make any public statement or public communication, including communications with Sellers’ customers, suppliers and employees that include Buyer’s position as a stalking horse bidder (other than as expressly provided in Section 5.5 and this Section 5.6), without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and in the case of Sellers’ press releases, public statements or public communications, including communications with Sellers’ customers, suppliers and employees that include Buyer’s position as a stalking horse bidder, Sellers shall provide Buyer opportunity to review and comment upon, and Sellers shall consider such comments in good faith, all such press releases, public statements or public communications; provided, however, (i) Sellers, without the prior consent of Buyer, may (A) issue such press release or make such public statement as may, upon the advice of counsel, be required by applicable Law or any Governmental Entity with competent jurisdiction and (B) communicate with its and its Affiliates’ investors and potential investors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) Buyer, without the prior consent of Sellers, may issue such press release or make such public statement, filing or disclosure as may, upon the advice of counsel, be required by applicable Law, including Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, or any Governmental Entity with competent jurisdiction.

Section 1.7Risk of Loss. The risk of loss with respect to the Purchased Assets shall remain with the Sellers until the Closing. Until the Closing, the Sellers shall maintain in force the policies of property damage insurance under which any Purchased Asset or Subsidiary Asset is insured. In the event prior to the Closing any Purchased Asset or Subsidiary Asset is lost, damaged or destroyed and such loss, damage or destruction, individually or in the aggregate, has or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, then, subject to the rights of the Sellers’ lenders pursuant to any debtor in possession financing, the Buyer may require the Sellers and Plastiq Subsidiaries to assign to the Buyer the proceeds of any insurance payable as a result of the occurrence of such loss, damage or destruction.

Section 1.8Supplements to Schedules. From time to time up to the Closing, the Sellers shall promptly supplement or amend the Schedules that they have delivered with respect to any matter first existing or occurring following the date hereof that (a) if existing or occurring at or prior to the date hereof, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Schedules, or (b) is necessary to correct any information in the Schedules that has been rendered inaccurate thereby; provided, in each case, that the disclosure provided in any such supplemented or amended schedule shall in no way be effective for purposes of the conditions set forth in Article VII or to cure any breach of representation or warranty that otherwise may have existed hereunder by reason of such matter.

The Parties agree as follows with respect to the period from and after the Closing, provided that (i) Sellers shall not incur any costs associated with the obligations hereunder and (ii) Sellers’ obligations hereunder shall only continue until the Chapter 11 Cases are closed or dismissed:

Section 1.1Cooperation.

Section 1.2Further Assurances. In case at any time from and after the Closing any further action is necessary or reasonably required to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Sale Order, at any Party’s

request and sole cost and expense, each Party shall take such further action (including the execution and delivery to any other Party of such other reasonable instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, assumption and confirmation and providing materials and information) as another Party may reasonably request as shall be necessary to transfer, convey and assign to Buyer all of the Purchased Assets, to confirm Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and to confirm Sellers’ retention of the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of this Section 6.2, to the extent that either Buyer or Sellers discovers any additional assets or properties which the Parties mutually agree should have been transferred or assigned to Buyer as Purchased Assets but were not so transferred or assigned, Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate and execute and deliver any instruments of transfer or assignment necessary to transfer and assign such asset or property to Buyer. Without limiting the generality of this Section 6.2, to the extent that either Buyer or Sellers discovers any assets or properties which the parties mutually agree should have been retained by Sellers as Excluded Assets, Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate and execute and deliver any instruments of transfer or assignment necessary to transfer and assign such asset or property to Sellers. If any Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, from time to time, identifies any Assumed Liability that was not transferred to Buyer, or any Excluded Liability that was transferred to Buyer, Sellers and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to transfer those Liabilities to the correct party as promptly as reasonably practicable after Closing.

Section 1.3Availability of Business Records. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall promptly provide to Sellers and their respective Representatives (after reasonable notice and during normal business hours and without charge to Sellers) access to all Records included in the Purchased Assets for periods prior to the Closing and reasonable access to Transferred Employees to the extent such access is necessary in order for Sellers (as applicable) to comply with applicable Law or any contract to which it is a party, for liquidation, winding up, Tax reporting or other proper purposes and so long as such access is subject to an obligation of confidentiality, and shall preserve such Records until the latest of (i) seven (7) years after the Closing Date, (ii) the required retention period for all government contact information, records or documents, (iii) the conclusion of all bankruptcy proceedings relating to the Chapter 11 Cases or (iv) in the case of Records related to Taxes, the expiration of the statute of limitation applicable to such Taxes. Such access shall include access to any information in electronic form to the extent reasonably available. Buyer acknowledges that Sellers have the right to retain originals or copies of all Records included in the Purchased Assets for periods prior to the Closing. Prior to destroying any Records included in the Purchased Assets for periods prior to the Closing, Buyer shall notify Sellers thirty (30) days in advance of any such proposed destruction of its intent to destroy such Records, and Buyer shall permit Sellers to retain such Records, at Sellers’ cost and expense. With respect to any Litigation and claims that are Excluded Liabilities, Buyer shall render all reasonable assistance that Sellers may request in defending or prosecuting such Litigation or claim and shall make available to Sellers such personnel as are most knowledgeable about the matter in question, all without charge. Without limitation of any of the foregoing, such assistance by Buyer to Sellers shall include reasonable assistance to Sellers by the Transferred Employees after the Closing with respect to the wind down of the Chapter 11 Cases, which shall include during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, maintaining the accounting infrastructure and assisting in the compilation of the monthly operating reports and other reporting and filings that are required to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

For purposes of this Agreement, each Current Employee who receives and accepts such offer of employment prior to the Closing and commences work with Buyer immediately after the Closing Date shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”; provided, however, no Current Employee who is on a visa shall become a Transferred Employee, without Buyer’s acknowledgement and consent to such Current Employee becoming a Transferred Employee. Except to the extent Sellers fail to comply in any material respects with Section 6.4(c)(i) and Section 6.4(c)(iii), Buyer hereby agrees that the written offer to a Current Employee shall include a level of base salary, wages and annual bonus opportunities (excluding

equity-based incentives) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the base salary, wages and annual cash bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based incentives) provided to such Current Employee by Sellers as of the Closing Date.

(b)Other than the Assumed Liabilities, Sellers shall bear responsibility for all Liabilities arising out of, relating to, or with respect to any compensation and employee benefits, as well as any other labor or employment-related liability, relating to the employment or other service or termination of employment or other service with the Sellers and their Affiliates of any current or former directors, officers, managers, employees, consultants or other service providers of any Seller or any ERISA Affiliate, or any spouse, dependent or beneficiary thereof.

Sellers shall withhold and remit all applicable payroll taxes as required by Law, and pay the related employer portion of any such taxes. with respect to all Current Employees and Former Employees of Sellers with respect to such payments; and

vi.None of the foregoing shall be construed as requiring, and neither Sellers nor any of their Affiliates shall take any affirmative action that would have the effect of requiring, Buyer to continue any specific Employee Benefit Plan or to continue the employment of any specific person on or after the Closing Date. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to establish, create or amend, nor shall anything in this Agreement be construed as establishing, creating or amending, any employee benefit plan, practice or program of Buyer, any of its Affiliates or any of the Employee Benefit Plans, nor shall anything in this Agreement create or be construed as creating any contract of employment or as conferring upon any Transferred Employee or upon any other person, other than the parties to this Agreement in accordance with its terms, any rights to enforce any provisions of this Agreement under ERISA or otherwise. This Section shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section.

The Party that is responsible under applicable law to file such Tax returns, shall timely file such returns.

(b)Sellers acknowledge that the success of the Business after the Closing depends upon the continued preservation of the Confidential Information possessed by Sellers and their Affiliates, that the preservation of the Confidential Information by Sellers and their Affiliates is an essential premise of the bargain between Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, and that Buyer would be unwilling to enter into this Agreement in the absence of this Section 6.10. Accordingly, from and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall not, and shall cause their

Affiliates and their Affiliates’ Representatives to not, at any time after Closing, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Buyer, disclose to any third party or use any Confidential Information involving or relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets.

(d)The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall expressly survive Closing.

(c)Nothing herein shall preclude either of the Parties from exercising their remedies under Section 9.1.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or a Related Agreement, Sellers and Buyer shall bear their own expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the Related Agreements and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.
