NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived by the Parties hereunder and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the Parties, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

155111807v18
i.Buyer shall make quarterly cash payments to Blue Torch equal to 75% of Cash Available for Earnout Payment (as defined below), until such time as Buyer has paid to Blue Torch the full amount of the Earnout Payment.
ii.Concurrently with delivery of the quarterly financial statements in accordance with Section 4(e)(ii), Buyer shall provide to Blue Torch its calculation of Cash Available for Earnout Payment for the relevant quarter, along with all reasonable supporting documentation used to prepare such calculation. Payment of each such quarterly cash payment shall be made within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the quarterly financial statements in accordance with Section 4(e)(ii) and the calculation of Cash Available for Earnout Payment in accordance with this Section 1(d)(ii).
iii.For purposes hereof, “Cash Available for Earnout Payment” means, without duplication, (A) the gross cash receipts of Buyer resulting from the operations of Buyer, less (ii) the portion of gross cash receipts used to pay, or establish reserves for, all operating expenses (including shared services expenses), capitalized and other cash expenditures, working capital, debt service payments and other liabilities and contingencies of Buyer.
(e)Prepayment.
i.Buyer Option to Prepay. At any point following the assignment contemplated by Section 1(a), Buyer shall have the option to prepay all or any portion of the Earnout Payment.
ii.Blue Torch Right to Prepayment.
(A)Upon (x) a Change of Control of Buyer or any parent company of Buyer or (y) Buyer’s repurchase of Units (as defined in the LLC Agreement) other than Units held by any Managers, Officers (each as defined in the LLC Agreement), employees, consultants, or other service providers to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the termination of service of such Manager, Officer, employee, consultant, or other service provider to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Buyer Repurchase”), Blue Torch shall have the right to demand Buyer prepay all outstanding amounts of the Earnout Payment. Blue Torch’s right to demand prepayment pursuant to Section 1(e)(ii)(A)(y) shall be limited to a pro rata portion of the Earnout Payment, which shall be equal to the product of (I) the outstanding amount of the Earnout Payment and (II) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is equal to the aggregate number of Units that Buyer proposes to buy and (2) the denominator of which is equal to the number of Units on a Fully Diluted Basis (as defined in the LLC Agreement) held by such Members (as defined in the LLC Agreement) that Buyer is repurchasing from.
(B)Buyer shall provide a written notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) to Blue Torch no more than ten (10) Business Days after the execution and delivery by all of the parties thereto of the definitive agreement entered into with respect to the Change of Control or Buyer Repurchase, as applicable, and, in any event, no later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the closing date of such Change in Control or Buyer Repurchase, as applicable.

(C)Blue Torch shall exercise its right under this Section 1(e)(ii) by providing Buyer with written notice of Blue Torch’s intent to demand prepayment within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the Prepayment Notice.
(D)If Blue Torch does not deliver notice of its intent to exercise its right to prepayment in compliance with Section 1(e)(ii)(C), Blue Torch shall be deemed to have waived all of such rights to demand Buyer prepay the Earnout Payment with respect to the event specified in the Prepayment Notice, and Buyer thereafter shall be free to effect the Change of Control or Buyer Repurchase identified in the Prepayment Notice, without any further obligation to Blue Torch.

Buyer and Blue Torch shall execute and deliver all certificates and instruments necessary to effectuate the transaction contemplated herein.
2.Tax Treatment.
(a)For U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, the assignment of Sellers’ rights under this Agreement to Blue Torch shall, along with the Cash Payment, be treated as a payment by Sellers to Blue Torch in exchange for Blue Torch and the Lenders releasing any and all Liens, Claims and encumbrances on the Purchased Assets, and in satisfaction of Sellers’ obligations under the Financing Agreement and the DIP Agreement.
(b)For U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, the Parties agree that the fair market value of the right to receive the Earnout Payment as of the Closing Date is an amount to be determined within thirty (30) days from the date hereof based upon a discounted cash flow of the free cash flows provided to Blue Torch on July 31, 2023 and a mutually agreeable methodology utilizing a weighted average cost of capital for a discount rate, and the Parties agree to file any tax returns or related reporting in a manner consistent with such treatment.
3.Representations and Warranties. Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Blue Torch and Sellers, Sellers hereby represent and warrant to Buyer and Blue Torch, and Blue Torch hereby represents and warrants to Buyer and Sellers as follows:
(a)Authority. Each Party has the full right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder.
(b)Enforceability. Upon each Party’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, it shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party and shall be enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity.
(c)No Conflicts. Each Party’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and compliance with any of the provisions hereof, shall not constitute a breach or default under Applicable Law or any agreement or other instrument or obligation to which each Party is a party or is otherwise bound.
4.Blue Torch Rights. Concurrently with the assignment of the Earnout Payment to Blue Torch as contemplated in Section 1(a), Blue Torch shall be entitled to the following rights and privileges.
3
155111807v18
(a)Right of First Offer.
i.If at any point while the outstanding amount of the Earnout Payment is greater than zero, Parent determines it wishes to sell Buyer in a single transaction or a series of related transactions that would trigger the drag-along or tag-along provisions set forth in the LLC Agreement, Parent shall provide Blue Torch with notice of Parent’s intent to sell Buyer, and, for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of such notice (the “ROFO Notice Period”), Blue Torch shall have the right of first offer to purchase Buyer and use the outstanding amount of the Earnout Payment as a credit (on a dollar for dollar basis) towards the purchase price. For example, if the purchase price to acquire Buyer is $50 million and the then-outstanding amount of the Earnout Payment is $15 million, Blue Torch would have a credit toward the purchase price of $15 million and would be able to acquire Buyer for $35 million in cash.
ii.If Blue Torch elects to make an offer to purchase Buyer during the ROFO Notice Period, Parent and Blue Torch shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days (as may be extended upon mutual agreement of Parent and Blue Torch, the “ROFO Sale Period”) to attempt to agree on definitive terms acceptable to Parent and Blue Torch for the sale of Buyer to Blue Torch. If, at the end of the ROFO Sale Period, Parent and Blue Torch are unable to agree on definitive terms for the sale of Buyer, Parent will have the right, within ninety (90) days following the ROFO Sale Period (the “Third Party Sale Period”) to consummate a sale of Buyer to an unaffiliated third party at a per Unit price that is no less than the applicable per Unit price offered to Blue Torch and on other terms and conditions which are not in the aggregate materially more favorable to the unaffiliated third party than those negotiated between Parent and Blue Torch during the ROFO Sale Period.
iii.If a transaction is not consummated with a third party during the Third Party Sale Period, Parent may not effect a sale of Buyer without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 4(a).
(b)Blue Torch Approvals. For so long as any portion of the Earnout Payment remains outstanding, Buyer shall not (directly or indirectly through any of its Subsidiaries) engage in or cause any of the following transactions or take any of the following actions, and the Board (as defined in the LLC Agreement) shall not authorize, permit, or cause Buyer (directly or indirectly through any of its Subsidiaries) to engage in, take, or cause any such action in each case without the prior approval of Blue Torch:

ii.the authorization or payment of any Distribution (as defined in the LLC Agreement) to any holder of any Units or Unit Equivalents, other than in accordance with Section 7.01 of the LLC Agreement;

v.the designation of Buyer as a restricted subsidiary under any of Buyer’s Affiliates’ debt documents;
vi.Buyer’s entry in a material way into new lines of business that are not substantially similar to any existing line of business of Buyer or a fundamental change to Buyer’s business unless such change results in a business that is substantially similar to Buyer’s current business; and

i.provide Blue Torch with written notice within twenty (20) days of any default under any indebtedness of Buyer;
ii.comply with all requirements of Applicable Law, judgments and awards (including any settlement of any claim that, if breached, could give rise to any of the foregoing), except to the extent the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect;
iii.pay in full before delinquency, all taxes imposed upon Buyer, except (i) unpaid taxes in an aggregate amount at any one time not in excess of $200,000, and (ii) taxes contested in good faith by proper proceedings which stay the imposition of any lien resulting from the non-payment thereof and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside for the payment thereof in accordance with GAAP;
iv.maintain and preserve its existence, rights and privileges, and become or remain, duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect;
v.keep adequate records and books of account, with complete entries made to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP;

viii.obtain, maintain and preserve and take all necessary action to timely renew, all permits, licenses, authorizations, approvals, entitlements and accreditations that are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business, in each case, except to the extent the failure to obtain, maintain, preserve or take such action could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect.
