(a)Reliance on Estimated Closing Statement and Distribution Schedule. Each of Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates and Representatives shall be entitled to rely fully upon the Estimated Closing Statement and Distribution Schedule for all purposes, including in taking any actions or making any payments to (whether in the form of cash or otherwise) or exercising any rights of indemnification or recovery from any Seller pursuant to this Agreement, and any obligations to make such payments shall be deemed fulfilled to the extent such payments are made in accordance with this Agreement and the Distribution Schedule (notwithstanding any withholding, failure, breach or other action taken or omission by any Seller or other Person). Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, none of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliates or Representatives shall have any Liability to any Person, including any Seller, for any Loss arising from or relating to any errors or omissions, whether direct or indirect, (i) made by any Seller to make payments or transfer funds to any Seller or other Person, (ii) in calculating the portion of any amounts payable to any Seller or other Person or any other information set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, Distribution Schedule or any release instruction or payment schedule provided to Purchaser or (iii) in calculating any Seller’s Pro Rata Share.

1.1Payments at the Closing. At the Closing, Purchaser shall:

(a)Escrow Amount. Deliver or cause to be delivered by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Agent (i) the Adjustment Escrow Amount in the Adjustment Escrow Sub-Account, and (ii) the Indemnification Escrow Amount in the Indemnification Escrow Sub-Account, in each case in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement to be entered into by the Purchaser, the Sellers’ Representative and the Escrow Agent as of the Closing Date in the form of Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Adjustment Escrow Funds and the Indemnification Escrow Funds shall be maintained separately in the Adjustment Escrow Sub-Account and the Indemnification Escrow Sub-Account, respectively. Upon termination of the Adjustment Escrow Sub-Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be released to the Disbursing Agent (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s respective Pro Rata Share pursuant to the Disbursing Agent Agreement entered into by the Purchaser, the Sellers’ Representative and the Disbursing Agent as of the Closing Date in the form of Exhibit D (the “Disbursing Agent Agreement”)), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the account and using the payment instructions set forth on the Distribution Schedule;

(c)Repaid Indebtedness. Deliver or cause to be delivered, on behalf of the Company and the Sellers, an aggregate amount equal to the Repaid Indebtedness, if any, specified for the lender(s) thereof in the Payoff Amount specified for such lender(s) in the Funds Flow, in accordance with the Payoff Letters, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the account(s) and using the payment instructions set forth on the Funds Flow;

(ii)an aggregate amount equal to the Transaction Expenses (after deducting the aggregate Transaction Bonuses) specified for the recipient(s) thereof in the Invoice Amount specified for such recipient(s) in the Funds Flow, in accordance with the Final Invoices, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the account(s) and using the payment instructions set forth on the Funds Flow;

For the avoidance of doubt, the Estimated Closing Payment delivered to the Disbursing Agent for further distribution to the Sellers will be net of the amount paid directly to the Company on behalf of certain Sellers in respect of the payoff of the Promissory Notes.

2.3Repaid Indebtedness; Transaction Expenses; [***].

(a)It is contemplated by the Parties that pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.3(c), all Indebtedness set forth on Schedule 2.4(a) (“Repaid Indebtedness”) and Transaction Expenses will be fully repaid or satisfied at the Closing, and such repayment or satisfaction will be funded with a portion of the Base Purchase Price payable hereunder.

(b)In order to facilitate such repayment or satisfaction, no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall have obtained payoff letters for each item of Repaid Indebtedness (the “Payoff Letters”) and final invoices for each Transaction Expense (the “Final Invoices”), which Payoff Letters and Final Invoices shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, provided, however, that with respect to the Transaction Bonuses paid in connection with the Closing, the Parties will rely on the Distribution Schedule and Closing Statement.

(c)Each Payoff Letter and Final Invoice shall include the following: (i) the balance required to payoff and satisfy any Liability arising in connection with such item of Repaid Indebtedness or Transaction Expense, in whole, as of the Closing (including outstanding principal, all accrued and unpaid interest, the per-diem interest amount and any prepayment penalties (such applicable amount, through and including the Closing Date or thereafter, for each item of Repaid Indebtedness, the “Payoff Amount” and for each Transaction Expense other than those set forth in the Distribution Schedule and Closing Statement, the “Invoice Amount”)); (ii) a statement from each secured lender or creditor that upon payment of the applicable Payoff Amount or Invoice Amount, any Liens relating to the assets or properties of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Business shall immediately be released and Purchaser shall be entitled to file or discharge, on behalf of such lender or creditor, any Lien releases with any applicable Governmental Authority; and (iii) wiring instructions for the payment of such Payoff Amount or Invoice Amount.

(d)At the Closing, Purchaser shall make, or cause to be made, payment of the Payoff Amount or Invoice Amount referenced in any such Payoff Letter or Final Invoice in order to discharge the item of Repaid Indebtedness or Transaction Expense covered thereby in accordance with Section 2.3(b) or Section 2.3(c), as applicable.

(e)As of the date of this Agreement, the Company has not accrued a liability for any [***], and no amount of such liability, if any, is included in the calculations of Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Net Working Capital, or Estimated Transaction Expenses as of the Closing. Instead, [***] will be determined pursuant to Section 7.11(c).

2.4Adjustment to Estimated Adjustment Amount. Following the Closing Date, the Estimated Adjustment Amount will be adjusted, dollar for dollar, as set forth below:

(a)Closing Statement. No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to Sellers’ Representative a written statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth: (i) Purchaser’s good faith calculations, in accordance with GAAP, of each of the following: (A) Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (“Actual Net Working Capital”); (B) Excess Cash of the Company as of the Effective Time (“Actual Excess Cash”); (C) Indebtedness of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing (“Actual Indebtedness”); and (D) unpaid Transaction Expenses (“Actual Transaction Expenses”); (ii) a recalculation of the Estimated Adjustment Amount (the “Actual Adjustment Amount”) using the foregoing calculations of Actual Net Working Capital, Actual Excess Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Transaction Expenses in replacement of the amounts of Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated Excess Cash, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Transaction Expenses, respectively, utilized in

preparing the Estimated Closing Statement; and (iii) the amount, if any, by which the Actual Adjustment Amount, is less than or greater than the calculation of Estimated Adjustment Amount calculated at the Closing. The Sellers’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in the preparation of the Closing Statement, as reasonably requested by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives.

(b)Seller Review. Within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s delivery of the Closing Statement to the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative will give Purchaser a written notice stating either (i) the Sellers’ acceptance, without objection, of the Closing Statement (an “Acceptance Notice”) or (ii) the Sellers’ Representative’s objections to, and alternative calculations of Actual Net Working Capital, Actual Excess Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Statement (an “Objection Notice”). If the Sellers’ Representative gives Purchaser an Acceptance Notice or does not give Purchaser an Objection Notice within such thirty (30)-day period, then (A) the Closing Statement delivered by Purchaser will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, including any amounts, determinations and calculations contained therein, and (B) the calculations of Actual Net Working Capital, Actual Excess Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Statement will constitute the Final Net Working Capital, Final Excess Cash, Final Indebtedness and Final Transaction Expenses. Any amount, determination or calculation contained in the Closing Statement and not specifically disputed in a timely delivered Objection Notice shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon each Party and each of their Affiliates, successors and assigns. During the period from the date the Closing Statement is delivered by Purchaser to the Sellers’ Representative through the date such statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5, the Purchaser shall provide the Sellers’ Representative and its advisors and Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, (A) to the books and records of Purchaser and the Company used in preparing the calculations of Actual Net Working Capital, Actual Excess Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Transaction Expenses solely for purposes of reviewing and verifying the Closing Statement (including the ability to make copies thereof, provided that all such copies shall be deemed Company Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement) and (B) to the Purchaser’s and the Company’s executive-level personnel and accountants.

(c)Audit Review. If an Objection Notice is timely and properly delivered, an authorized representative of each of Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative will promptly engage in good faith discussions to resolve any discrepancies or issues identified in connection with the review of the Closing Statement (each, an “Objection”, and any Objection actually resolved by mutual agreement of the Purchaser and the Seller, the “Agreed Adjustments”). In the event that Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative fail to resolve all of the Objections set forth in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser receives the Objection Notice or such longer period as may be mutually agreed (the “Agreement Period”), Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative will retain BDO USA, P.C. or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve, such other nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative (the “Independent Auditor”) to make the determination of any Objections to Final Net Working Capital, Final Excess Cash, Final Indebtedness and Final Transaction Expenses still in dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within the thirty (30)-day period immediately following the Agreement Period. The Independent Auditor (acting as an expert and not an arbiter) will consider only those Objections specifically disputed in the Objection Notice that did not become Agreed Adjustments and are identified as being items and amounts to which Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative have been unable to agree. In resolving any such disputed item or amount, the Independent Auditor may not assign a value to any item or amount that is higher than the highest value for such item or amount claimed by a Party or lower than the lowest value for such item or amount claimed by a Party in the Closing Statement or the Objection Notice, as applicable. The

Independent Auditor’s determination of Final Net Working Capital, Final Excess Cash, Final Indebtedness and Final Transaction Expenses, respectively, will be based on the definitions of “Net Working Capital,” “Excess Cash,” “Indebtedness” and “Transaction Expenses” contained in this Agreement. Any Agreed Adjustment and the determination of Final Net Working Capital, Final Excess Cash, Final Indebtedness and Final Transaction Expenses by the Independent Auditor will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties and each of their Affiliates, successors and assigns, absent manifest error or fraud. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor will be allocated to Purchaser and Sellers based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to such Party bears to the amount actually contested, as determined by the Independent Auditor. By way of illustration of the application of the foregoing, if Purchaser claims that the Net Working Capital is $1,000,000, the Sellers’ Representative claims that the Net Working Capital is $1,500,000, and the Independent Auditor determines that the Net Working Capital is $1,200,000, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300,000 ÷ 500,000) to Sellers and 40% (i.e., 200,000 ÷ 500,000) to Purchaser (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing example assumes that there is no disagreement between Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative relating to Estimated Excess Cash, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Transaction Expenses).

(d)Final Closing Statement. The Closing Statement, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be referred to herein as the “Final Closing Statement.” The Adjustment Amount set forth in the Final Closing Statement shall be referred to herein as the “Final Adjustment Amount.”

2.5Adjustment Payment. Upon final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount:

(a)If the Final Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Adjustment Amount (the amount, if any, by which the Final Adjustment Amount is greater than the Estimated Adjustment Amount shall be referred to as, the “Adjustment Surplus”), then (A) Purchaser will pay to the Disbursing Agent (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s respective Pro Rata Share pursuant to the Disbursing Agent Agreement), the Adjustment Surplus, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in accordance with the wire instructions specified for Sellers in the Distribution Schedule, and (B) Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Disbursing Agent (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s respective Pro Rata Share pursuant to the Disbursing Agent Agreement), the Adjustment Escrow Funds in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(b)If the Final Adjustment Amount is less than the Estimated Adjustment Amount (the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Adjustment Amount is greater than the Final Adjustment Amount shall be referred to as, the “Adjustment Shortfall”), then the payment of such Adjustment Shortfall will be made (i) first by deducting such amount from the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and (ii) thereafter, from the Sellers in accordance with this Section 2.6. If the Adjustment Shortfall is less than the Adjustment Escrow Funds, the Purchaser shall release to Sellers, pursuant to the Disbursing Agent Agreement the remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds (after deducting any Adjustment Shortfall) in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. In the event the Adjustment Shortfall is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Funds (the amount, if any, by which the Adjustment Shortfall is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be referred to as, the “Adjustment Escrow Shortfall”), Purchaser, shall recover, without duplication, any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Shortfall by way of (1) first, release from the Indemnification Escrow Funds and (2) thereafter, payment from the Sellers, directly.

(c)If the Final Adjustment Amount is equal to the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then the Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Disbursing Agent (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s respective Pro Rata Share pursuant to the Disbursing Agent Agreement), the Adjustment Escrow Funds in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(d)Any payment to be made or joint instruction to be issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall made or issued by the applicable Part(ies), within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the Final Adjustment Amount is finally determined.

(e)The Adjustment Escrow Funds may be paid to Purchaser or distributed to Sellers, as applicable, solely and exclusively in accordance with this Section 2.6 and shall not be available for any other payment to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

(f)Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, including pursuant to ARTICLE 8) or in the event of Fraud, the Parties agree that Sections 2.5 and 2.6 are the sole and exclusive remedy for resolving disputes with respect to the Adjustment Amount.

2.6Withholding. Purchaser and any Affiliate of Purchaser (including, after the Closing, the Company) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement or any Transaction Document such amounts as Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser reasonably determines are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom pursuant to the Code or other applicable Tax Law. If Purchaser determines that it is required to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser will give the Person in respect of which such withholding is to be made reasonable advance notice (and no less than three (3) Business Days) prior to making any such anticipated deduction or withholding and, to the extent reasonably practicable, to provide such Person with the commercially reasonable opportunity to provide such forms, certificates or other evidence to reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding to the extent permitted by applicable Law. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.7 and timely paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

3.1The Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) will take place contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto. The Closing will be held remotely via the electronic exchange of signatures and will be deemed to occur on the Effective Date (the “Closing Date”).

hereby specifically disclaims any such other representation or warranty made by any Person. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Section 6.6 does not preclude Purchaser from bringing a claim for Fraud pursuant to Section 8.10.

7.1Appropriate Actions; Consents and Filings.

(a)Each Party shall cooperate with each other Party in connection with and use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and any Transaction Document to which they are a party, applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Transactions, (ii) obtain from any Governmental Authority any consents, licenses, Permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or Orders required to be obtained and to make any filings with or notifications or submissions to any Governmental Authority as may be reasonably required to obtain any Company Governmental Approval, and (iii) make all necessary filings, notices and other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, that are necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise are reasonably required to obtain the Company Approvals and to comply with applicable Law.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of Purchaser or its Affiliates shall be required to pay any amounts in connection with obtaining any Company Approval or to provide any guarantee of the obligations of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any Seller.

7.2Confidentiality; Public Announcements.

(a)Except as otherwise authorized in advance in writing by Purchaser, no Seller shall, directly or indirectly, use, disclose, reverse engineer, divulge, sell, exchange, furnish, give away, transfer or otherwise reveal in any way, any Confidential Information. For clarity, each Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other obligations such Party has to protect, keep confidential or refrain from using Confidential Information (including any duty or obligation arising under applicable Law, Order or any Organizational Document, by Contract or otherwise). The duties and obligations pursuant to this Section 7.2 will continue for so long as the materials, information or data in question continue to constitute a Trade Secret or Confidential Information.

(b)In the event any Seller is, on advice of legal counsel, required pursuant to an Action by or before any Governmental Authority to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) prior to disclosing any Confidential Information so that Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy at Purchaser’s sole cost or, if it chooses, waive compliance with the applicable provision of this Agreement. Each Seller agrees to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts, at Purchaser’s expense, to cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information consistent with applicable Law, Order or other appropriate remedy, (ii) furnish only that portion of such Confidential Information which, in the reasonable opinion of such Party’s legal counsel, such Party is legally compelled to disclose and (iii) use

commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded any such information so disclosed.

(c)Except to the extent issuance is required by Law, the Sellers shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates and Representatives not to, issue any press releases, announcements or other releases of information related to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, QHP Capital L.P. may issue announcements and other releases of information to its general and limited partners and other Affiliates that are subject to obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those set forth herein.

(a)For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Sellers will not, and each Seller will cause the their Affiliates to not, dispose of or destroy any of the books and records (including working papers) of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Business which may be relevant to any legal, regulatory or tax audit, investigation, inquiry or requirement of the Company or its Subsidiaries, any of the assets or properties of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Business without first offering such records to Purchaser. Sellers will, and will cause their Affiliates to, upon reasonable notice, afford Purchaser, the Company, its Subsidiaries and each Affiliate or Representative thereof, reasonable access (including the right to make, at the Purchaser’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records for any reasonable purpose.

(b)For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Purchaser will not, and the Purchaser will cause its Affiliates to not, dispose of or destroy any of the books and records of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Business which reasonably required in relation to any legal, regulatory or tax audit, investigation, inquiry or requirement of the Company or its Subsidiaries, any of the assets or properties of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Business without first offering such records to the Sellers’ Representative. Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, upon reasonable notice, afford the Sellers’ Representative and each Seller, reasonable access (including the right to make photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records for such purposes. The obligations herein apply solely to books and records.

7.4D&O Insurance and Other Tail Insurance.

(a)Following the Closing and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company to, amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Company’s certificate of incorporation to the extent relating to the exculpation or indemnification of any of the current or former individuals who were directors or officers of the Company (in such capacities) as of prior to the Closing (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) as in effect immediately prior to the Closing in a manner materially adverse to any of such D&O Indemnified Persons (it being the intent of the Parties that the D&O Indemnified Persons shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification, as permitted to be amended, repealed or modified hereby, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).

(b)Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall obtain, at the cost and expense of Sellers, on behalf of the Company, a non-cancellable “tail” insurance policy with respect to the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability policy, having a claims reporting period of at least six (6) years following the Closing Date (the “D&O Tail Policy”), on terms and conditions reasonably suitable to Sellers and Purchaser. The D&O Tail Policy shall provide coverage for acts and omissions of the D&O Indemnified Persons with respect to matters arising at or prior to the Closing and shall be Sellers’ and any D&O Indemnified Person’s sole and exclusive remedy for such matters. The cost of such D&O Tail Policy shall be borne by Sellers and included in the calculation of Transaction Expenses. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates to, amend, waive, modify or otherwise alter the terms of the D&O Tail Policy in a matter materially adverse to any of the D&O Indemnified Persons.

(c)The obligations of Sellers and Purchaser under this Section 7.4 shall survive the consummation of the Transactions and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to materially and adversely affect any of the D&O Indemnified Persons to whom this Section 7.4 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Persons (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Persons to whom this Section 7.4 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.4, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 7.4).

(d)Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall obtain on behalf of the Company, a non-cancellable “tail” insurance policies with respect to the Company’s errors and omissions and cyber policies, each having a claims reporting period of at least three (3) years following the Closing Date (the “Additional Tail Policies”), on terms and conditions reasonably suitable to Sellers and Purchaser. The cost of the Additional Tail Policies shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by Sellers and, with respect to Sellers, such share of the cost shall be included in the calculation of Transaction Expenses.

7.5R&W Insurance Policy. Purchaser shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to obtain and bind the R&W Insurance Policy, effective as of the Closing. The R&W Insurance Policy Costs will be borne fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by Sellers; provided, that, Sellers’ portion shall be included as a Transaction Expense. Purchaser shall not amend, terminate or modify the terms of the R&W Insurance Policy, including the waiver of subrogation provision of the R&W Insurer set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy, in any manner that would reasonably be expected to adversely prejudice Sellers without the Sellers’ Representative’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

7.6Certain Tax Matters

(a)Seller Prepared Returns. From and after the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative will prepare, or cause to be prepared, any required Tax Returns of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries for Income Taxes for each Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date that have not been filed as of the Closing Date and are required (taking into account extensions) to be filed after the Closing Date (the “Seller Prepared Returns”), including for those jurisdictions and Taxing Authorities that permit or require a short-period Tax Return for the Tax period ending on the Closing Date or the day before the Closing Date, including (for the avoidance of doubt) the final (short-year) 2024 Tax Returns for Income Taxes for the Company and its Subsidiaries (namely, the Company’s final IRS Form 1120 and any corresponding state and local Tax Returns for Income Taxes). Except as otherwise may be approved by Purchaser, all such Seller Prepared Returns described in this Section 7.6(a) must be prepared (i) in accordance with applicable Law and on a “more likely than not” standard, and (ii) consistent with the past

practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, except as otherwise required by applicable Law on a “more likely than not” standard. Purchaser will be given a reasonable opportunity, and in no event less than forty-five (45) days (twenty (20) days for Tax Returns other than for Income Taxes), to review and provide comments on any such Seller Prepared Returns. If Purchaser objects to any item on any such Seller Prepared Return, it shall, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection is duly delivered, Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their respective best efforts to resolve such items. If the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to reach such agreement within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Sellers’ Representative of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Auditor and any determination by the Independent Auditor shall be final and binding upon the parties. The Independent Auditor shall resolve any disputed items within fifteen (15) days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Independent Auditor is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as reasonably decided by Purchaser and then amended to reflect the Independent Auditor’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be borne equally by Purchaser and the Seller. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company or its Subsidiaries that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Purchaser. Thereafter, Purchaser shall cause the Company to execute and timely file any such Seller Prepared Returns in the form as provided above in this subsection.

(b)Responsibility for Preparing and Filing Tax Returns. Purchaser will prepare (or cause to be prepared) all Tax Returns of the Company or its Subsidiaries for (i) the Straddle Period, and (ii) taxable periods beginning on or before the Closing Date that are required to be filed after the Closing Date except for Seller Prepared Returns. All such Tax Returns will be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and without a change of any material election or accounting method, except as required by applicable Law on a “more likely than not” standard. Purchaser will provide the Sellers’ Representative with drafts of all such Tax Returns no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the earlier of the due date or filing date thereof (or, in the case of Tax Returns due within fifteen (15) days of the Closing Date or the end of the relevant taxable period, as soon as practicable), but only to the extent that such Tax Returns reflect Taxes for which Sellers are liable under this Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative will have the right to review and provide comments on such Tax Returns during the fifteen (15)-day period following the receipt of such Tax Returns (or, in the case of Tax Returns due within fifteen (15) days of the Closing Date or the end of the relevant taxable period, the ten (10)-day period preceding the due date of such Tax Returns). If the Sellers’ Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Returns, it shall, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify the Purchaser in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection is duly delivered, Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their respective best efforts to resolve such items. If the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to reach such agreement within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Purchaser of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Auditor and any determination by the Independent Auditor shall be final and binding upon the parties. The Independent Auditor shall resolve any disputed items within fifteen (15) days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. Any costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor will be shared fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser on the one hand, and fifty percent (50%) by the Sellers on the other hand. If the Independent Auditor is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as reasonably decided by Purchaser and then amended to reflect the Independent Auditor’s resolution. At least three (3) days prior to the due date thereof, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser any Pre-Closing Taxes reflected as due on any Tax Returns described in this

Section 7.6(b), except to the extent included on the Final Closing Statement and taken into account as an adjustment to the Final Adjustment Amount.

(c)Certain Conventions. Purchaser shall cause the Company to join the Purchaser’s (or its direct or indirect parent corporation’s, if any) “consolidated group” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-1(h)) for purposes of U.S. federal income Taxes effective as of the beginning of the date following the Closing Date. In addition, (i) the Parties agree and confirm that no elections will be made by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or the Purchaser pursuant to Code Sections 336(e) or 338 with respect to any transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) to the extent permitted by Law or administrative practice, the taxable year of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any other types of Taxes will end on the Closing Date (the “Agreed Tax Treatment”). Each Party hereto (and its Affiliates) shall report and file all eligible Company (and any of its Subsidiaries’) Tax Returns consistently with such Agreed Tax Treatment and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith. Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) with respect to any Straddle Period will be allocated to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date using the following conventions: (i) (A) in the case of North Carolina franchise Taxes paid or payable for the taxable period reportable on the Company’s C-Corporation Tax Return 2023 (Form CD-405) and other states’ franchise Taxes, the amount of such Taxes for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days from January 1, 2024, through the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is 366, in accordance with North Carolina franchise Tax Law; (B) in the case of North Carolina franchise Taxes paid or payable for the periods reportable on the Company’s C-Corporation Tax Return 2024 (Form CD-405), other states’ franchise Taxes for similar periods, or on any subsequent periods’ franchise Tax Returns, zero; (ii) in the case of Income Taxes or any other Taxes resulting from, or imposed on, sales, receipts, uses, transfers or assignments of property, or payments to other persons (including wages), the amount of Taxes allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be the amount of Taxes payable for such portion of the period determined utilizing a “closing of the books” methodology as of the close of business on the Closing Date; and (iii) in the case of all other Taxes, the amount of Taxes allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be equal to the amount of Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. For purposes of this Section 7.6(c), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(d)Certain Post-Closing Actions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 7.6(e), or required by applicable Law, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing Date, the Company) will (i) amend, refile, supplement, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of the Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including a Straddle Period) or (ii) make any Tax election of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that has retroactive effect to any such Tax year (including a Straddle Period), in each such case without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Furthermore, if such refund claim or amended, refiled, or modified Tax Return could reasonably be expected to increase the Tax liability of any Seller (including pursuant to the indemnification provisions of Section 8.2), it will be reasonable for the Sellers’ Representative to withhold consent from any such amendment or claim proposed by or on behalf of Purchaser unless and to the extent that such claim or amended, refiled, or modified Tax Return is necessary to comply with applicable Tax Law.

(e)[***].

(f)Tax Contests. Notwithstanding Section 8.5, this Section 7.6(f) will control with respect to any Tax Contest of the Company or its Subsidiaries or for which the Company or its Subsidiaries has or may have any Liability. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing upon receipt by such Party or any of its Affiliates (including, with respect to Purchaser after the Closing Date, the Company) of notice of a Tax Contest with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Purchaser will have the exclusive right to control any such Tax Contest; provided, however, that (i) Sellers, at their sole cost and expense, will have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest and (ii) Purchaser will not, without the prior written consent of Sellers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any settlement, compromise or resolution agreement with respect to any such Tax Contest.

(g)Cooperation on Tax Matters. In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audits, examinations, and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the Tax liabilities imposed on the Company or its Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully with each other, including by furnishing or making available during normal business hours records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audits or examinations or the defense of claims by Taxing Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes. The Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the other Party, any extension thereof) for the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.

(h)Transfer Taxes. Sellers, on one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, shall split the cost of all transfer, documentary, registration, sales, use and similar Taxes that are not based on net income, together with any related fee, penalties, interest and additions to such Taxes incurred in connection with, or as a consequence of, this Agreement or any other transaction contemplated hereby (“Transfer Tax”). The Party required by applicable Law will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes.

(i)Pre-Closing Tax Refunds. Any refunds of Taxes with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that are received by Purchaser shall be for the account of the Sellers, and Purchaser shall pay over to the Disbursing Agent (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s respective Pro Rata Share pursuant to the Disbursing Agent Agreement), any such Pre-Closing Tax refund within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof, less any Taxes or actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser, the Company, and their Affiliates in connection with obtaining and receiving any such Pre-Closing Tax refund. In the event that any Pre-Closing Tax refund is subsequently determined by any Taxing Authority to be less than the amount paid by Purchaser, the Company, or any of their Affiliates to the Company pursuant to this Section 7.6(i), the Sellers shall promptly return any such disallowed amount (plus any interest or penalties in respect of such disallowed amount owed to any Taxing Authority) to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.6(i) shall require that Purchaser, the Company, or any of their Affiliates make any payment with respect to any Tax refund (and such refund shall be for the benefit of the Purchaser) that is with respect to (i) any refund that is the result of the carrying back of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute or Tax credit incurred in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, (ii) any refund resulting from the payment of Taxes made on or after the Closing Date to the extent the Company or any its Subsidiaries

have not borne such Tax or otherwise have not indemnified the Purchaser for such Taxes or (iii) any refund that gives rise to a payment obligation by the Company or its Subsidiaries to any Person under applicable Law or pursuant to a provision of a Contract or other agreement entered into (or assumed) by the Company or its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall have no affirmative obligation to file any amended Tax Return at the request of the Sellers or Sellers’ Representative.

(j)Transaction Expense Deductions. The parties hereto agree that all Transaction Expenses, payments of items deductible for Income Tax purposes that are included within Indebtedness, and all other costs, fees, or expenses that are associated with the Closing and paid or incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries that are deductible by the Company or its Subsidiaries in determining its taxable federal, state and local income or similar Taxes (each, a “Deduction” and collectively, the “Deductions”) will be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period related to Pre-Closing Taxes to the extent at least “more likely than not” deductible in such Tax period. For this purpose, the Company and its Subsidiaries will close its books and its Tax year for federal and any state Income Tax purposes as of the Closing Date to the extent necessary in order to maximize the amount of the Deductions that can be used in a Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period that relates to Pre-Closing Taxes; except that in the case of any Income Tax Returns for the taxable year in which the Closing Date occurs, if the Company or its Subsidiaries are not permitted by applicable Law to file a short-period Tax Return for a Tax period ending on the Closing Date, then all of the Deductions deductible on such Straddle Period Tax Return will be deemed to be attributable to the Pre-Closing Taxes for such Straddle Period Tax Return to the greatest extent permitted by applicable Law. Except as required by a change in applicable Law, the parties to this Agreement agree, and agree to cause their Affiliates, to treat and report the Deductions arising in connection with the Closing, as being attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period in accordance with paragraphs (a) through (c) of Example 8 of Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(5), without regard to whether such proposed amendments to that Treasury Regulations Section have been adopted as final or formally apply to the Tax period in issue. In addition, except as required by a change in applicable Law, for any of the Transaction Expenses that are facilitative and might otherwise be required to be capitalized by the Company or its Subsidiaries under Treasury Regulations Section 1.263(a)-5, the parties to this Agreement agree, and agree to cause their Affiliates, to cause the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to make and apply the “safe harbor election” described in IRS Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011-18 I.R.B. 746, with respect to all such expenses that are eligible for such election, unless and except as the Sellers’ Representative may otherwise agree.

8.4Indemnification Limitations. The indemnification obligations of the Parties under Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 are subject to each of the following limitations (in addition to such other limitations as are contained in this ARTICLE 8):

(a)Except with respect to any Multi-Section Loss, or Loss arising from or as a result of Fraud, breach of any Fundamental Representation, or any representation or warranty listed on Schedule 8.4(a) (a “Dollar One Loss”), the Sellers shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.2(a) exceeds $250,000 (the “Basket”), after which point the Purchaser Indemnified Parties will be entitled to recover only Losses in excess of the amount of the Basket in accordance with Section 8.7.

(d)In the event of Fraud, there shall be no limitation on the Losses that may be recovered from any Seller by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 8.2; provided that no Seller will be liable for any Fraud by another Seller in the making of such Seller’s representations and warranties in ARTICLE 5.

(e)Except with respect to any Loss arising from or as a result of Fraud, the aggregate amount that the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover from Purchaser under Section 8.3 is limited to and shall not under any circumstances exceed the Purchase Price, as the same may be adjusted pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in this Section 8.4, or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or impair Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ recourse under the R&W Insurance Policy.

8.5Indemnification Claim Procedures.

(a)Third Party Claims.

(i)Notice of Third Party Claim. Any Indemnified Party making a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 resulting from or arising out of a Third

Party Claim must give the Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification is sought written notice of such claim describing such claim in reasonable detail and the nature and estimated amount of such Loss to the extent that the nature and amount thereof are determinable at such time (a “Third Party Claim Notice”), reasonably promptly after the Indemnified Party receives any written notice of the assertion of such Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the failure to notify or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, as applicable, except to and solely to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually, materially and adversely prejudiced as a result thereof.

(ii)Assumption of Defense; Conditions.

(1)Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Third Party Claim Notice (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of such matter by providing written notice of such assumption (an “Assumption Notice”) to the Indemnified Party. Such Assumption Notice shall (1) certify that the Indemnifying Party will be fully responsible for (with no reservation of rights) and indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Loss resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by such Third Party Claim without regard to any limitation (whether time, economic, procedural or otherwise) set forth in this Article 8 or obligation of the Indemnified Party to seek recovery under any insurance policy or other right of recovery and (2) provide evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s ability and resources (financial and otherwise) to defend against such claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder fully and promptly if required.

(2)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control (or continue the control) of the defense of such Third Party Claim (without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party) if such claim (A) seeks (whether in whole or in part) any injunctive, equitable or other non-monetary remedy or relief, (B) involves a criminal or quasi-criminal Action, (C) would, or would reasonably be expected to, have an adverse effect on the business, assets, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of the Indemnified Party or establishes a precedent, custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, as determined by the Indemnified Party in good faith, (D) relates to any customer, supplier, lessor, licensor, employee, contractor, consultant or other business relation of the Indemnified Party, (E) would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in Losses in excess of the Indemnified Party’s right to recover from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 8, (F) fails to be actively and diligently prosecuted or defended by the Indemnifying Party, as determined by the Indemnified Party in good faith, or (G) presents a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as advised by the Indemnified Party’s counsel.

(3)In the event the Indemnifying Party is entitled to and properly assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall appoint as lead counsel of such defense a legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and conduct and control the settlement and defense of such Third Party Claim, so long as the following conditions are and continue to be met: (i) it conducts the defense of such Third Party Claim in a commercially reasonable, active and diligent manner, and (ii)  the provider of the R&W Insurance Policy does not assume the defense.

(4)In the event the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Third Party Claim (or is not entitled to or fails to properly assume) or is no longer permitted to continue the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.5(a)(ii) and Section 8.5(a)(iii), then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct and control the negotiation, settlement, defense or resolution of such Third Party Claim (including any underlying Event or matter giving rise to such claim) in any manner that it reasonably may deem appropriate with counsel of its own choice, and may permit a default, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to such Third Party Claim (including any underlying Event or matter giving rise to such claim) without the consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if such consent is not obtained, such settlement shall not be dispositive of the amount of or existence of any indemnifiable Losses hereunder.

(iii)Control of Defense; Exceptions, etc. Without limiting the last sentence of Section 8.5(a)(ii)(4), if the Indemnifying Party properly assumes and is conducting the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense (provided, that, (1) if the employment and expense thereof has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing or (2) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there is a conflict of interest between or among the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the cost and expense of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party).

(iv)Mutual Cooperation. The Party controlling the defense of such an Action shall consider in good faith any recommendation made by the other Party with respect to the defense of a Third Party Claim. Each Party shall be obligated hereby to provide reasonable cooperation with each other Party in the negotiation, settlement, defense or resolution of any Third Party Claim, including by making available employees and witnesses in a timely manner to provide information or testimony through declarations, affidavits, depositions, or at hearing or trial and work with each other in preparation for such events consistent with deadlines dictated by the particular Third Party Claim, preserving any documents and materials reasonably required by litigation hold orders pending with respect to particular Third Party Claims and providing such documents, information and materials as may be required by legal procedure or court order or consistent with deadlines dictated by a particular matter or requests by another Party; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to provide any attorney-client privileged information or communication or waive any attorney-client or other privilege or the work product doctrine.

(v)Settlement of Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not permit a default, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to such Third Party Claim (including any underlying Event or matter giving rise to such claim) if such default, entry, settlement or compromise (I) involves any finding or admission of any violation of Law or otherwise contains or requires any admission of guilt, fault or Liability of any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (II) does not fully and unconditionally release each Indemnified Party from all Liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, (III) imposes any injunctive, equitable or other non-monetary remedy or relief on the Indemnified Party or (IV) requires the consent of any insurer. Any default or entry of any judgement or settlement or compromise that does not comply with this Section 8.5(a)(v) shall not be determinative of the amount of indemnifiable Loss with respect to such Third Party Claim (including any underlying Event or matter giving rise to such claim) or other claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE 8.

(vi)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.5, in the event of the assertion or commencement of any Action in respect of a Third Party Claim against a Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to which Purchaser has filed a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy in respect of such Action and the R&W Insurer has acknowledged its obligation to provide coverage in respect of the resolution or defense thereof (a “R&W Covered Claim”), Purchaser shall have the right, at the election of the R&W Insurer, to proceed with, and to assume and solely control, the defense of such R&W Covered Claim (without any participation right of any other Person); provided, that this Section 8.5(a)(vi) shall not apply with respect to any R&W Covered Claim arising from Fraud. In the event the R&W Insurer recommends a monetary settlement of any R&W Covered Claim that is within the policy limits of the R&W Insurance Policy and the applicable third party claimant is prepared to accept such settlement, then the Sellers shall be automatically deemed to accept such settlement; provided further, that (i) the Sellers’ liability for such settlement shall not (1) exceed the remaining Indemnification Escrow Amount for an R&W Covered Claim that is a Multi-Section Loss, (2) exceed the remaining R&W Retention (up to the remaining Indemnification Escrow Amount) for an R&W Covered Claim that arises from a Dollar One Loss, or (3) exceed the remaining R&W Retention (up to the Cap) with respect to all other R&W Covered Claims (except in any case, in the case of Fraud), and (ii) such deemed acceptance shall not (x) be deemed an admission by the Sellers for purposes of any other claim for indemnification under this Agreement, or (y) impose any other liability, admission of liability or judgment against the Sellers; provided, that the foregoing clause (ii) does not preclude Purchaser’s right to bring a claim under this Agreement or alters the Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement with respect to such claim to the extent such further claim by Purchaser does not duplicate Losses resolved pursuant to such settlement.

(vii)With respect to any Third Party Claim that is related to Tax, to the extent that this Section 8.5(a) conflicts with the provisions of Section 7.6, the provisions of Section 7.6 shall control.

(b)Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of any Loss that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted in a written notice describing such claim in reasonable detail and the nature and estimated amount of such Loss, to the extent that the nature and amount thereof are determinable at such time (a “Direct Claim Notice”) and delivered to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period. Such Direct Claim Notice shall include a description in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) of the facts constituting the basis for such Direct Claim and the amount of the Loss determinable at such time, together with such information, to the extent available, to substantiate the claim and as may otherwise be necessary for the Indemnifying Party to determine that the limitations in this ARTICLE 8 have been satisfied or do not apply. If the Indemnifying Party in good faith objects to any claim (including any underlying Event or matter giving rise to such claim) made in a Direct Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Party during the thirty (30) day period commencing after delivery by the Indemnified Party of the Direct Claim Notice. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim (including any underlying Event or matter giving rise to such claim) made in the Direct Claim Notice. Each claim (including any underlying Event or matter giving rise to such claim) for indemnification set forth in such Direct Claim Notice shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in the Indemnified Party’s favor for purposes of this ARTICLE 8 on the terms set forth in the Direct Claim Notice upon the earlier to occur of: (i) notice that the Indemnifying Party agrees with the Direct Claims asserted in the Direct Claim Notice; or (ii) expiration of such thirty (30) day period if the Indemnifying Party fails to deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to the Indemnified Party prior to the expiration

of such thirty (30) day period. In such event, the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue any remedies or rights of recovery as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

8.6Further Loss Limitations. The right of an Indemnified Party to indemnification for Losses under Section 8.2 and Section 8.3, as applicable, shall be subject to the following additional limitations:

(a)Net Insurance Recovery. With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this ARTICLE 8, all Losses shall be determined net of any third-party insurance (excluding the R&W Insurance Policy) proceeds that have actually been received by the Indemnified Party and net of any applicable deductible amount, mitigation costs, increased or retroactive or retrospective premium or out-of-pocket fee, cost or expense incurred in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (it being agreed that if third-party insurance (excluding the R&W Insurance Policy) proceeds are actually received directly in respect of such Loss are recovered by the Indemnified Party subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment in satisfaction of its applicable indemnification obligation for such Loss, such proceeds shall be promptly remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the amount by which the indemnification payment made by the Indemnifying Party exceeds the Loss suffered by the Indemnified Party, after giving effect to the receipt of such proceeds, but net of any applicable deductible amount, mitigation costs, increased or retroactive or retrospective premium or out-of-pocket fee, cost or expense incurred in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification).

(b)Obligation to Mitigate. To the extent required by applicable Law, an Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses; provided, that the foregoing mitigation obligation will only arise in the event that such Losses are not the subject of an R&W Covered Claim.

(c)No Duplication. This Agreement shall not permit duplicative indemnification payments in respect of the same amount of Loss (the purpose and intent of the foregoing to avoid “double counting” or duplicative recovery of the same amount of Loss).

(d)Indemnification Payments; Indemnification Escrow Funds.

(i)Any payment of a Loss pursuant to a claim for indemnification to be paid by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be made promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of a Third Party Claim Notice or Direct Claim Notice, as applicable, unless the Third Party Claim or Direct Claim has been timely and properly disputed by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 8.5, in which case, payment shall be made promptly (and in any event within five (5) days) upon the earlier to occur of: (A) the date on which the Indemnifying Party is finally determined to be responsible or liable for the Third Party Claim or Direct Claim by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration tribunal and (B) the date on which such dispute is agreed or finally resolved by written agreement of Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative (the amount of a Loss as finally determined pursuant to this Section 8.6(d)(i), a “Resolved Loss”).

(ii)Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 8, including this Section 8.6(d), Section 8.7 and Section 8.9, in addition to any other available remedy, from and after the Closing, in order to satisfy any Resolved Loss for which any Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may

recover all or any portion of such amounts on a dollar-for-dollar basis from the Indemnification Escrow Funds (in which case, the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to disburse the amount of such Resolved Loss from the Indemnification Escrow Sub-Account (up to the Indemnification Escrow Amount) to the Purchaser).

(iii)On or prior to the third (3rd) Business Day following the General Survival Date, the Escrow Agent will pay and distribute all of the remaining funds in the Indemnification Escrow Sub-Account to the Sellers’ Representative (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share as set forth in the Distribution Schedule); provided, that, to the extent any indemnity claims under this ARTICLE 8 claimed by any Purchaser Indemnified Party on or prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period of such claim remains unresolved, in whole or in part (each, an “Unresolved Claim”), the full amount claimed by Purchaser that remains unresolved (after giving effect to all limitations set forth herein) will be retained by the Escrow Agent, and the balance will be paid to the Sellers’ Representative (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share as set forth in the Distribution Schedule). Any funds retained by the Escrow Agent for an Unresolved Claim in excess of any amounts in respect of other Unresolved Claims shall be payable within three (3) Business Days following the final resolution of such Unresolved Claim in accordance with this ARTICLE 8 and paid by the Escrow Agent to (i) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, or (ii) to Sellers’ (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share as set forth in the Distribution Schedule), as applicable, in each case in accordance with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and the Disbursing Agent Agreement.

(iv)Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.6(d) shall not apply to an indemnification claim with respect to Section 8.6(e).

(e)Limitation on Punitive Losses. Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to (and each Party, on behalf of itself and each other Indemnified Party claiming by, through, or on behalf of such Party, disclaims) indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 for punitive damages, except to the extent arising from a Third Party Claim.

8.7Order of Recovery; R&W Insurance Policy.

(a)Except with respect to any Loss arising from or as a result of Fraud, and to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.2(a) exceeds the Basket, if applicable, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall seek recovery for Losses with respect to claims under Section 8.2(a) as follows (subject to the provisions and limitations in this ARTICLE 8):

(i)First, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall pursue recovery from the Indemnification Escrow Funds in accordance with this Agreement until the Indemnification Escrow Funds have been exhausted, or, if the Cap is applicable to such Loss until the Purchaser Indemnified Party has recovered an amount equal to the Cap;

(ii)Second, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy;

(iii)Third, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue recovery of any such remaining Losses directly from the Sellers, severally based on their respective Pro Rata Share, as set forth and subject to the limitations in this ARTICLE 8.

(b)If any Loss entitles any Purchaser Indemnified Party to bring a claim under Section 8.2(a) with respect to a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, and any Purchaser Indemnified Party would also be entitled to bring a claim under either Section 8.2(e) or Section 8.2(f) (or under Section 8.2(c) in respect of Pre-Closing Taxes) (such Losses, “Multi-Section Losses”), such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall first assert such claim under Section 8.2(a) in accordance with this Section 8.7. The Purchaser Indemnified Party may only pursue a claim for a Multi-Section Loss under Section 8.2(e) or Section 8.2(f) (or under Section 8.2(c) in respect of Pre-Closing Taxes) to the extent such Purchaser Indemnified Party is unable for any reason to recover the full amount for any such indemnifiable Loss after bringing the claim under Section 8.2(a), including in the event that the amount of the Multi-Section Loss exceeds the coverage available under the R&W Insurance Policy. The limitations set forth in Section 8.4(b) will not apply to a claim brought pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(c)Except as expressly provided for in Section 8.7(b), if any Loss entitles any Purchaser Indemnified Party to bring a claim under Sections 8.2(b)–8.2(g) such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue recovery of any such Losses directly from the Sellers, severally based on their respective Pro Rata Share, as set forth and subject to the limitations in this ARTICLE 8.

8.8Materiality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of determining whether a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties hereunder exists and the amount of any Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder, each representation and warranty in this Agreement will be read without regard and without giving effect to the term or phrase “material,” “materially,” “adverse,” “substantial,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar terms or phrases contained in such representation or warranty (including any definitions contained therein), the inclusion of which would limit or potentially limit a claim or the recoverable amount of Loss by an Indemnified Party (as if such words were deleted from such representation and warranty).

8.9Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement (including, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any payment received under the R&W Insurance Policy), and all payments giving rise to the right thereto, shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

8.10Exclusive Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth therein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 8, except (i) disputes with respect to the Closing Statement (which shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.5) or (ii) claims with respect to certain Tax matters to the extent in conflict with Section 7.6, which shall be resolved in accordance with Section 7.6, (iii) with respect to claims of Fraud (provided, that the limitation in Section 8.4(d) applies to any such claim), (iv) claims for specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief, (iv) claims under any of the Transaction Documents.

9.1Transaction Expenses. Each of the Parties will each bear such Person’s own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except as set forth in Section 2.3(c) or the definition of “Transaction Expenses.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be responsible for [***] and such amount shall be reflected in the Estimated Closing Statement and Closing Statement accordingly.

9.2Waiver of Notice & Certain Rights. Each Seller, on behalf of itself and each Seller Related Party, hereby waives: (a) any notice or consent requirements with respect to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the Transactions (other than any post-closing notice obligation specifically contemplated hereby or thereby); and (b) any past, present or future right of first refusal or offer, put or call right, co-sale or tag-along right, pre-emptive, anti-dilution or other similar right of such Seller or any Seller Related Party, that may be applicable to, or triggered by, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the Transactions, regardless of whether such requirement or right is pursuant to any Organizational Document, Contract, Law or otherwise.

9.3Waiver of Contribution Rights. From and after the Closing, each Seller, on behalf of itself and each Seller Related Party, hereby expressly: (a) waives and releases any right of subrogation, offset, contribution, indemnification, advancement of expenses or other remedy or right of recovery of such Seller and any Seller Related Party, regardless of whether such right is pursuant to any Organizational Document, Contract, Law or otherwise, for any Event that gives or may give rise to any indemnification obligation or other Liability of any Seller or Seller Related Party under this Agreement or any Transaction Document or in connection with the Transactions (for the avoidance of doubt, disregarding any time, economic, procedural or other limitation set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction Document or otherwise and irrespective of whether any Action for such Event is actually made, resolved or recovered); (b) agrees to, and to cause any Seller Related Party to, refrain from, directly or indirectly, exercising, enforcing, asserting or otherwise commencing any Action with respect to, any remedy or right described in this Section 9.3; and (c) agrees that none of such Seller or any Seller Related Party shall have any right (whether of contribution, assignment, subrogation or otherwise) against or be entitled to any indemnity or other right of recovery from any Purchaser Indemnified Party in the event any Seller or Seller Related Party is required to take, or refrain from taking, any action, whether by the payment of money or otherwise, as a result of this Section 9.3.

9.4Release by Seller Releasing Parties.

(a)Effective as of the Closing, each Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, equity holders, partners, principals, managers, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, Representatives, successors and assigns (all of the foregoing Persons, excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries, are collectively referred to herein as the “Releasing Parties”), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, forever releases and discharges Purchaser, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (excluding any Releasing Party) and each of their respective equity holders, partners, principals, managers, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and Representatives and each of its and their respective successors and assigns (all of the foregoing Persons, are collectively referred to herein as the “Released Parties”) of and from, and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, any and all Actions, expenses, Orders, covenants, suits, judgments, damages, and Liabilities of any kind or character whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in contract, direct or indirect, at Law or in equity (collectively, the “Released Claims”) that any of the Releasing Parties ever had, now has or ever may have or claim to have against any of the Released Parties for or by reason of any matter,

circumstance, Event, action, inaction, omission, cause or thing whatsoever arising prior to the Closing (including in respect of the management or operation of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Business).

(b)Each Seller, on behalf of itself and each of the other Releasing Parties, covenants that none of the Releasing Parties will sue any of the Released Parties on the basis of any Released Claim herein released and discharged. Each Seller, on behalf of itself and each of the other Releasing Parties, expressly waives all rights afforded by any statute which limits the effect of a release with respect to unknown claims and understands the significance of this release of unknown claims and waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims and acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement.

(c)Each Seller, on behalf of itself and each of the other Releasing Parties, acknowledges that the Released Parties will be relying on the waiver and release provided in this Section 9.4 in connection with entering into this Agreement and that this Section 9.4 is intended for the benefit of, and to grant third party beneficiary rights to, each of the Released Parties to enforce this Section 9.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing contained in this Section 9.4 shall constitute a release or waiver of any rights of a Releasing Party expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

9.5Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement will be effective unless specifically made in writing and duly signed by Purchaser and each of the Sellers. No other course of dealing between or among any of the Parties or any delay in exercising any rights pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver of any rights of any Party.

9.6Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) (a) by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative or (b) by any of the Sellers without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates (including the Company) may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer this Agreement or the rights, interests or obligations hereunder to (i) any Affiliate of Purchaser or any successor or assign to Purchaser, the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Business that agrees to or is otherwise responsible for Purchaser’s obligations hereunder (whether by Contract, operation of Law or otherwise) and (ii) any lender (or agent on behalf of such lenders) as collateral security for the obligations of Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser to such lenders. Any assignment in violation of this Section 9.6 will be void, ab initio.

9.7Governing Law; Forum. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict provision or rule (whether of such State or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to be applied. Any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought solely in the federal or state courts located in the State of Delaware. This provision may be filed with any court as written evidence of the knowing and voluntary irrevocable agreement among the Parties to waive any objections to jurisdiction, to venue or to convenience of forum. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF

OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall be permitted to issue, in their sole discretion, one or more press releases or other public or industry announcements, statements or acknowledgements with respect to this Agreement or any of the Transactions. Except as prohibited by Law, Sellers and its Representatives may issue “tombstones” announcing the fact that the Closing of the Transaction has occurred but containing no material terms (including pricing terms) regarding the Transaction.

9.16Non-Recourse. No Non-Party Affiliate shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) or any Seller or his, her, or its Affiliates arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or any Transaction Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or its negotiation or execution; and (a) each Seller, on behalf of itself and each Seller Related Party, waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliate of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries), and (b) Purchaser, on behalf of its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliate of Sellers and Sellers’ Affiliates. The Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9.16. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Non-Party Affiliate” means (a) with respect to Purchaser, any person who is not a named party to this Agreement, including any past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equity holder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or Representative of any named Party to this Agreement, and (b) with respect to Sellers, any direct or indirect limited partner of NQ PE Project Sigma, L.P. (but excluding QHP Capital L.P. and any of its general partners, managing members, directors or officers).

9.17Provision Respecting Legal Representation.

(a)In connection with this Agreement and the contemplated Transactions, Wyrick Robbins Yates & Ponton LLP (“WRYP”) has acted as counsel for the Company and the Sellers (collectively, the “Engagement”) and in connection therewith, the parties hereto other than the Purchaser confirm that WRYP has not acted as counsel for any individual Seller or any other Person in connection with the Transactions.

(b)The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (which will include the Company and its Affiliates from and after the Closing), expressly agrees that: (i) in all matters relating to the Engagement, for all purposes, only the Sellers and the Company will be considered clients of WRYP; (ii) all privileged communications involving attorney-client confidences between any of the Sellers, the Company or their Affiliates on the one hand, and WRYP, on the other hand (which will include communications with agents and other parties (if and to the extent such communications meet the standards for constituting attorney-client privileged communications under applicable Law)), solely in connection with the Engagement, will for all purposes be deemed to be privileged attorney-client communications (unless and until and to the extent any such privilege is effectively waived as provided under applicable Law) that belong solely to the Sellers and not to the Company, any of its Affiliates (which include, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser and its Affiliates) or any other Person; (iii) all attorney work-product produced by WRYP in connection with the Engagement will be deemed to be attorney-client work-product (if and to the extent meeting the standards for constituting work-product under applicable Law) belonging solely to the Sellers, and not to the Company, any of its Affiliates or any other Person; and (iv) except as set forth herein, none of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has, will

have or will otherwise be entitled to have any right, title or authority in or to, or any interest in, or privilege or right to access any such privileged communications or attorney work-product of WRYP relating to the Engagement, whether or not the Closing has occurred, except as may be expressly granted by the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and at all times after the Closing, to the maximum extent of the Law: (A) the Sellers will be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Engagement, and none of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (which will include the Company and its Affiliates from and after the Closing), or any of their respective Affiliates, will be a holder thereof; (B) to the extent that files or work-product of WRYP in connection with the Engagement constitute client property, only the Sellers will hold all such property rights, and no other Person will have any right, title or interest therein or thereto; and (C) WRYP will have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications, work-product or files to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Affiliates, except (x) as required by Law, (y) if the Purchaser is voluntarily provided with any such material by any other party, or (z) to the extent any such privilege is effectively waived as provided under applicable Law. The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, further agrees that privileged attorney-client communications to the extent in connection with the Engagement between the Company, Sellers and WRYP and other Advisers will not pass to, or be claimed by, the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for any reason, including as a result of the Purchaser’s access to or based upon information stored on the Company’s servers or data from and after the Closing.

(c)The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges the community of interest between the Company and the Sellers prior to Closing in view of the fact that the Sellers hold all of Company’s equity interests prior to Closing. Accordingly, the Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, agrees that the principles that apply to the Engagement regarding attorney-client communications, attorney-client privilege, client files, attorney work-product and disclosures will also apply to the engagement of any other attorneys or service professionals directly related to the Engagement, including, other attorneys, investment bankers and accountants (the “Advisers”). In addition, any original or copies of electronic or written communications between the Sellers or the Company on the one hand and WRYP or any other Adviser on the other hand, or among WRYP and any other Adviser, in connection with the Engagement will be the sole property of the Sellers and such electronic or written communications will be destroyed, erased or otherwise withheld from possession, use or review by the Purchaser or its Affiliates, including the Company from and after the Closing.

(d)If the Sellers so desire, and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, either WRYP or any other Adviser will be permitted to represent the Sellers after the Closing in connection with any matter, including, anything related to this Agreement and the Transactions or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, WRYP and each Adviser retains the right to represent the Sellers and any of their agents or Affiliates, or any one or more of them, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (including litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceedings) with the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or any of their agents under or relating to this Agreement and any of the Transactions, and any related matter, whether or not such matter is substantially related to the Engagement.
