STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of June 4, 2022, by and between VP PRIMALOFT HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”) and Relentless Intermediate, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”).

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof the Seller owns one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”) of PrimaLoft Technologies Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”);

WHEREAS, the Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities (as defined below) of the Subsidiaries as set forth on Schedule 4.4 (such Subsidiaries, together with the Company, the “Company Group”);

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, all of the Shares (other than the Rollover Shares (as defined below)) on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement of the willingness of Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, each of the persons set forth on Schedule 1(A) identified as an Equity Rollover Holder (each an “Equity Rollover Holder”), the Seller and Relentless Topco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the parent of Purchaser (“Purchaser TopCo”) have entered into a Contribution and Assignment Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Contribution Agreements”), pursuant to which the Seller has agreed to cause a redemption of certain Equity Securities in the Seller held by the Equity Rollover Holders in exchange for a sufficient number of the Shares to permit the Equity Rollover Holders to satisfy their respective obligations under the Contribution Agreements to contribute the Aggregate Rollover Amount (as set forth therein, such Shares, together with any such Shares redeemed in connection with the Post-Signing Contribution Agreements, the “Rollover Shares”), with such contributions to be effective immediately prior to the Closing;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement of the willingness of Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, the person set forth on Schedule 1(A) identified as a Non-Equity Rollover Holder (the “Non-Equity Rollover Holder”), has entered into a Subscription Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which the Non-Equity Rollover Holder has agreed to make a contribution of cash to Purchaser TopCo in exchange for Equity Securities of Purchaser TopCo, with such contributions to be effective immediately prior to the Closing and as further described in Section 5.1(e);

WHEREAS, between the execution of this Agreement and the Closing, the Seller, Purchaser and certain holders of Equity Securities in the Seller (other than the Equity Rollover Holders) (the “Post-Signing Equity Rollover Holders”, and together with the Equity Rollover Holders, the “Rollover Holders”) may agree to enter into (and Purchaser may agree to cause Purchaser HoldCo to enter into) an agreement that is substantially similar in form and substance to the Contribution Agreements entered into by the Equity Rollover Holders (the “Post-Signing Contribution Agreement”), in which the Seller will cause a redemption of certain Equity Securities in the Seller held by the Post-Signing Equity Rollover Holders in exchange for a sufficient number of the Shares to permit the Post-Signing Equity Rollover Holders to satisfy the “Rollover Amount” identified in their particular Post-Signing Contribution Agreement, with such contributions to be effective immediately prior to the Closing;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement of the willingness of Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser and certain members

of management of the Company identified on Schedule 1(B) have entered into Restrictive Covenant Agreements to be effective as of the Closing Date;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement of the willingness of Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser and the person identified on Schedule 1(C) have entered into a Non-Solicitation Agreement to be effective as of the Closing Date; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements (as defined below) (the “Transactions”), Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, has delivered to the Seller a fully executed limited guaranty in favor of the Seller as of the date hereof with respect to certain of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement (the “Limited Guaranty”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Definitions

1.1 Definitions. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings given to them on Exhibit A.

ARTICLE II

Purchase and Sale of the Shares

2.1 Agreement to Purchase and Sell the Shares (Other than the Rollover Shares). On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall sell, transfer, assign and deliver to Purchaser, all of the Shares (other than the Rollover Shares, the contribution of which to Purchaser TopCo shall occur immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to the Contribution Agreements and, if applicable, Post-Signing Contribution Agreements), free and clear of all Liens.

2.2 Calculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price. For purposes of this Agreement: “Aggregate Purchase Price” shall mean an amount, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, equal to:

(a) Five Hundred Thirty Million Dollars ($530,000,000);

(b) plus the aggregate amount of Cash Equivalents;

(c) plus the amount by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital or minus the amount by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital, as applicable (for the sake of clarity, if the Closing Working Capital is a larger negative amount in relation to the Target Working Capital, then the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be reduced by the difference between such amounts, and if the Closing Working Capital is a smaller negative amount in relation to the Target Working Capital (or a positive amount), then the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be increased by the difference between such amounts);

(d) minus the aggregate amount of Indebtedness;

(e) minus the aggregate amount of Transaction Expenses; and

(f) minus the Aggregate Rollover Amount.

2.3 Manner of Payment of the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price and Other Payments. As soon as practicable before the Closing, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver in writing to Purchaser its good faith estimate of the Aggregate Purchase Price (the “Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price”) based upon the most recent reasonably ascertainable financial information of the Company Group (which estimate shall (a) set forth an estimate of the various components of the Aggregate Purchase Price as set forth in Section 2.2, to the extent applicable, based on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, (b) include an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Company Group as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet”) and (c) be prepared in a manner consistent with GAAP (except as modified by the Closing Working Capital Schedule attached as Exhibit C) and in accordance with (i) the definitions set forth in this Agreement and (ii) clauses (x), (y) and (z) of Section 2.4(a)) (the “Estimated Closing Statement”). The Seller will consider in good faith any input from Purchaser relating to the Estimated Closing Statement. All such estimates in the Estimated Closing Statement shall not limit or otherwise affect Purchaser’s rights to seek post-Closing adjustment in respect of any such matters pursuant to Section 2.4, and shall not constitute an acknowledgement by Purchaser of the accuracy of the amounts reflected therein. At the Closing, Purchaser shall:

(a) deposit Five Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,300,000) (the “Escrow Amount”) with Citibank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), with such funds to be kept in a segregated account (the “Escrow Account”) designated by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”) as security for amounts payable to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.4;

(b) pay, in accordance with the Pay-Off Letters, the Indebtedness identified on Schedule 6.2(g)(vi) by wire transfer of immediately available funds;

(c) pay in full all of the Transaction Expenses by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Seller; and

(d) pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions furnished by Seller an amount equal to the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price, minus the Escrow Amount.

2.4 Aggregate Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) As promptly as possible, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Seller a consolidated balance sheet of the Company Group as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement (together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the “Closing Statement,” and the date on which the Closing Statement is delivered to the Seller, the “Delivery Date”) setting forth, in reasonable detail and with reasonable supporting documentation, Purchaser’s calculation of the amount of: (i) Cash Equivalents, Indebtedness and Closing Working Capital, (ii) Transaction Expenses, (iii) the Aggregate Purchase Price and (iv) the adjustment necessary to reconcile the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price to the Aggregate Purchase Price. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with GAAP (except as

modified by the Closing Working Capital Schedule attached as Exhibit C) and in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement. In preparing the Closing Statement: (x) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Company Group of any distributions, financing or refinancing arrangements entered into by Purchaser, the Seller or the Company Group at or after the Closing or any other transaction entered into by Purchaser, the Seller or the Company Group at or after the Closing in connection with the consummation of the Transactions shall be entirely disregarded; (y) it shall be assumed that the Company Group and its lines of business shall be continued as a going concern, and (z) there shall not be taken into account any of the plans, transactions or changes that Purchaser intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made at or after the Closing with respect to the Company Group or its businesses or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Purchaser or any assets or liabilities of Purchaser, or any obligation for the payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price hereunder.

(b) Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company Group to, provide the Seller (and its representatives) with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records, supporting data, facilities and personnel of the Company Group for purposes of the Seller’s review of the Closing Statement and reasonably cooperate with the Seller (and its representatives) in connection with such review.

(c) The Seller shall have forty-five (45) days following the Delivery Date (the “Dispute Period”) to review the Closing Statement. If the Seller has any objections to the Closing Statement, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth its objections thereto (a “Dispute Notice”), which shall identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which the Seller objects and the reasons for its dispute (the “Disputed Items”). Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all items in the Closing Statement other than as set forth in the Dispute Note and such items that are not set forth in the Dispute Notice shall be deemed final and binding upon the parties and enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Purchaser, Purchaser and the Seller shall attempt to resolve the Disputed Items within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and the Seller are unable to resolve any Disputed Items within such thirty (30) day period, Purchaser and the Seller shall mutually engage and submit such Disputed Items to, and the same shall be finally resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement by, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, or, if such firm is not available or unwilling to accept such engagement, such other independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and the Seller (the “Independent Accountant”). Purchaser and the Seller shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to resolve the Disputed Items as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days (or such other period of time as Purchaser and the Seller shall agree) after engagement by Purchaser and the Seller, and to set forth in a written statement its final determination of the Closing Statement and the resulting Aggregate Purchase Price based upon its resolution of such Disputed Items and the items and amounts with respect to the Closing Statement that were not Disputed Items. The Independent Accountant shall review the submissions of Purchaser and the Seller and base its determination solely on such submissions, and not an independent review. In resolving any Disputed Item, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the least value for such item claimed by either party, in each case, as set forth in the Closing Statement or the Dispute Notice (if any). The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be deemed final and binding upon the parties and enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such Disputed Items by the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated between Purchaser and the Seller so that the amount of fees and expenses paid by the Seller (with the remainder of such amount being paid by Purchaser) shall be equal to the product of (x)

and (y), where (x) is the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses, and where (y) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount in dispute that is ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by the Seller (as determined by the Independent Accountant) and the denominator of which is the total value in dispute. If a Dispute Notice is not delivered to Purchaser during the Dispute Period, the Closing Statement as prepared by Purchaser shall be deemed accepted and agreed to by the Seller and shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto.

(d) If the Aggregate Purchase Price, based upon the final determination pursuant to Sections 2.4(b) and 2.4(c) (the “Final Purchase Price”), exceeds the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price (such excess, the “Upward Adjustment Amount”), then promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price): (i) Purchaser shall pay the Upward Adjustment Amount to the Seller (for the benefit of the Seller and the Rollover Holders) by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions furnished by the Seller and (ii) Purchaser and the Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Escrow Amount (plus all earnings thereon) to the Seller from the Escrow Account pursuant to instructions furnished by the Seller. Following receipt of the Upward Adjustment Amount, the Seller shall deliver to the Rollover Holders their respective Rollover Pro Rata Amount of the same at the same time that it otherwise makes a distribution of the Upward Adjustment Amount to its members.

(e) If the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price (such excess, the “Downward Adjustment Amount”), then promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price), Purchaser and the Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Purchaser the Downward Adjustment Amount from the Escrow Account, with the Downward Adjustment Amount to be deducted from the Escrow Amount. If the Downward Adjustment Amount does not exceed the Escrow Amount, Purchaser and the Seller shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price) jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the balance of the Escrow Amount (plus all earnings thereon) to the Seller (for the benefit of Seller and the Rollover Holders) from the Escrow Account pursuant to instructions furnished by the Seller. Following receipt of such amounts, the Seller shall deliver to the Rollover Holders their respective Rollover Pro Rata Amount of such amounts at the same time that it otherwise makes a distribution of the Upward Adjustment Amount to its members. If the Downward Adjustment Amount exceeds the Escrow Amount, the Seller shall pay such excess to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions furnished by Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price.

(f) If the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price equals the Final Purchase Price, then promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price) Purchaser and the Seller (for the benefit of the Seller and the Rollover Holders) shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Escrow Amount (plus all earnings thereon) to the Seller from the Escrow Account pursuant to instructions furnished by the Seller. Following receipt of such amounts, the Seller shall deliver to the Rollover Holders their respective Rollover Pro Rata Amount of such amounts at the same time that it otherwise makes a distribution of such amounts to its members.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Purchaser fails to timely deliver the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.4(a), then the Final Purchase Price shall be deemed to equal the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price; provided, however, that if within ten (10) days following the failure to timely deliver the Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.4(a), the Seller notifies Purchaser in writing of such failure and Purchaser does not cure such failure within fifteen (15) days thereafter, the Seller shall be entitled to retain (at the expense of Purchaser) the Independent Accountant

to provide an audit or other review of the Company Group’s books, review the calculation of the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price and make any adjustments necessary thereto, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.4, in which case the Final Purchase Price shall be deemed to be the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price as adjusted by the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.4(g) (the determination of such Independent Accountant being conclusive and binding on the parties hereto).

2.5 Time and Place of Closing. The closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via electronic exchange of required Closing documentation in lieu of an in-person Closing at 10:00 a.m., local time, no later than the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following satisfaction of the conditions to the Closing set forth in ARTICLE VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) or such other place, date or time as Purchaser and the Seller may mutually agree. The parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to complete the Closing through electronic means of communication to avoid the necessity of a physical Closing. The date on which the Closing occurs in accordance with this Section is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.” The Closing will be deemed to occur at the close of business on the Closing Date.

2.6 Withholding Taxes. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be withheld under the Code, or any applicable provision of Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipient in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties of Purchaser

Purchaser represents and warrants to the Seller as of the date hereof (unless the representation is as of a specified date, in which case it shall be as of such specified date) as follows:

3.1 Corporate Organization. Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. Purchaser has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it will be a party. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it will be a party by Purchaser and the consummation by Purchaser of the Transactions have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action of Purchaser. This Agreement has been, and upon their execution each Ancillary Agreement to which Purchaser will be a party will have been, duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming due execution and delivery by each of the other parties hereto and thereto, this Agreement constitutes, and upon their execution, each Ancillary Agreement to which Purchaser will be a party will constitute, a legal, valid and binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect, and (ii) the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a charge, complaint, litigation, arbitration, suit, claim, action or proceeding, at Law or in equity (each, an “Action”) (collectively, clauses (i) and (ii) together, the “General Enforceability Exceptions”)).

3.2 Consents. Except for the applicable requirements of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “HSR Act”), no consent, authorization, order, permit or approval of, or filing or registration with, any Governmental

Authority is required to be obtained by Purchaser in connection with its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party or the consummation by Purchaser of the Transactions.

3.3 Absence of Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party by Purchaser, nor the consummation by Purchaser of the Transactions, will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, or of any Laws, or of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or of any arbitration award to which Purchaser is subject. Purchaser is not a party to any Contract whereby timely performance by Purchaser according to the terms of this Agreement may be prohibited, prevented or delayed.

3.4 Brokers and Finders. No person is or will become entitled, by reason of any contract or arrangement entered into or made by or on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, to receive a broker’s commission, finder’s fee, investment banker’s fee or similar payment in connection with the Transactions, in each case, for which the Seller or any of its Affiliates might have any liability following the Closing.

3.5 Solvency. Immediately after giving effect to the Transactions and the incurrence of any indebtedness therewith and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE IV, the Company Group will not be insolvent.

3.6 Accredited Investor. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account with the present intention of holding such securities for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of such securities in violation of any federal or state securities Laws. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Purchaser acknowledges that it is informed as to the risks of the Transactions and of ownership of the Shares. Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state or foreign securities Laws and that the Shares may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless such transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition is pursuant to the terms of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the Shares are registered under any applicable state or foreign securities Laws or sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state or foreign securities Laws.

3.7 Funding. Purchaser has, or shall have at the Closing, sufficient funds in order to consummate the Transactions, on the terms contained herein. For the avoidance of any doubt, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that there is no financing contingency or financing condition of any kind with respect to any of its obligations under this Agreement or in connection with the Transactions.

3.8 WARN Act. Purchaser has no present plans or intention to carry out, following the Closing, any plant closing or mass layoff which would violate the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or any similar applicable state or local Law (collectively, the “WARN Act”) at any facility of the Company Group’s businesses (assuming for purposes of this subsection that no notice would be given in connection with any such closing or layoff).

3.9 Litigation and Claims. There is no Action, pending or, to Purchaser’s Knowledge, threatened against Purchaser: (i) with respect to or affecting Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder, or (ii) reasonably likely to prohibit, restrict or delay the performance of this Agreement by Purchaser.

ARTICLE IV

ARTICLE V

Conduct Prior to the Closing

5.1 Seller’s Obligations. The following are the Seller’s obligations prior to Closing:

(a) Information. The Seller shall, and shall cause the Company Group to, upon reasonable advance notice, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, (i) give to Purchaser’s officers, employees, agents, attorneys, consultants, accountants and lenders reasonable access (including for inspection and copying) during normal business hours to all of the properties, books, contracts, documents, insurance policies, records and other data and information and personnel of or with respect to the Company Group to the extent Purchaser reasonably deems necessary or desirable and (ii) furnish to Purchaser and such persons as Purchaser shall designate such additional information as Purchaser or such persons may reasonably request; provided, however, that (x) this provision shall not require the Seller or the Company Group to permit any access, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of the Seller, would reasonably be expected to result in (A) the loss of attorney-client privilege with respect to such

information or (B) a Governmental Authority alleging that providing such information violates Antitrust Law, and (y) in no event shall Purchaser be permitted to conduct any environmental inspections or reviews that involve sampling or other invasive testing at any of the properties without first obtaining the Seller’s prior written consent thereto. If the Seller determines in good faith, after consulting with counsel and Purchaser, that provision of certain access or information would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege or violate any applicable Law, the Seller shall, and shall cause the Company Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to implement alternative arrangements to provide Purchaser alternative means of obtaining such access or information to the fullest extent practicable without risking loss of attorney-client privilege or violating applicable Law (including for example, redactions, summaries of information, etc.). Purchaser agrees that such investigation shall be conducted in such a manner as to not interfere unreasonably with the operations of the Company Group.

(b) Consents. The Seller shall, and shall cause the Company Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents, approvals or waivers in connection with Purchaser’s obligations set forth in Section 5.2(c); provided, however, that neither the Seller nor any member of the Company Group shall be required to commence or participate in any litigation or offer or grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party in connection with the obligations set forth in this Section 5.1(b).

(c) Ordinary Course. Except (i) as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) as consented to in writing by Purchaser (which Purchaser agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) as required pursuant to applicable Law or COVID-19 Measures or (iv) as set forth on Schedule 5.1(c), from the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, the Seller shall cause each member of the Company Group to (A) carry on its business in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices, (B) use its commercially reasonable efforts to preserve substantially intact the business organization and assets of the Company Group, (C) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep available the services of the current officers, employees and consultants of the Company Group, (D) use its commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the current relationships of the Company Group with customers, suppliers and other persons with which the Company Group has significant business relations and (E) not take any of the actions set forth in Section 4.9(a)-(y); provided that each member of the Company Group shall be permitted to take all reasonably appropriate and necessary actions to apply available Cash Equivalents to prepay Indebtedness and dividend or distribute Cash Equivalents out of funds legally available therefor to its equity holders in accordance with Section 5.1(d) below.

(d) Cash Redemption. Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Cash Equivalents of the Company Group to be distributed to the Seller in redemption of a number of Shares (other than the Rollover Shares) held by the Seller that is commensurate in value with the Cash Equivalents distributed to the Seller; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be required to distribute (i) any Cash Equivalents that are required to be held by the Company Group pursuant to Law, (ii) any Cash Equivalents where the dividend or other transfer or repatriation of such Cash Equivalents would result in the payment of any Taxes (withholding or otherwise) or penalties, and (iii) any Cash Equivalents that, in the good faith judgment of the Seller, is required for the operations of the Company Group (the “Equity Redemption”). Purchaser and the Seller agree that the Equity Redemption and the sale of the Shares shall be treated as steps in an integrated plan, and therefore that the Equity Redemption shall be treated as a redemption under Section 302(b) of the Code, pursuant to Rev. Rul. 75-447 and ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 213 F.2d 914 (6th Cir. 1954). No party (including the Company Group after Closing) shall take any action or position inconsistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Seller and

the Company Group may enter into redemption or similar agreements and related transactions in order to effectuate the Equity Redemption.

(e) Rollover Transactions.

(i) Immediately prior to the Closing, the Seller shall effectuate a partial redemption of certain Equity Securities of the Seller held by the Rollover Holders in exchange for a sufficient number of Shares to allow the Rollover Holders to satisfy their respective obligations under the Contribution Agreements and, if applicable, the Post-Signing Contribution Agreements to contribute to Purchaser TopCo the Rollover Shares specified in the Contribution Agreements and, if applicable, the Post-Signing Contribution Agreement (such transaction being referred to as the “Rollover Partial Redemption”). No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the documentation effecting the Rollover Partial Redemption, which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

(ii) Immediately prior to the Closing, the Seller shall cause any transaction bonus due to the Non-Equity Rollover Holder in connection with the Closing to be paid (net of any applicable Tax withholdings) to the Purchaser TopCo which to the extent of such net payment to the Purchaser TopCo shall be deemed to be in satisfaction of the applicable portion of the subscription amount of the Non-Equity Rollover Holder under the Subscription Agreement, and the Subscription Agreement shall provide the Non-Equity Rollover Holder’s written consent for the Seller to cause such bonus otherwise payable to the Non-Equity Rollover Holder to be paid to Purchaser TopCo. Any such payment under this Section 5.1(e)(ii) shall be considered to have been compensation paid by the Company Group to the Non-Equity Rollover Holder in cash as of immediately prior to the Closing, with such amount (net of any applicable Tax withholdings) subsequently contributed by the Non-Equity Holder to the Purchaser TopCo.

(f) Exclusivity. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, the Seller will not, and will cause its and each member company of the Company Group’s respective officers, managers, directors, employees and Affiliates and their representatives to not, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or accept any proposal or offer relating to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in negotiations or discussions concerning, provide any information to any person in connection with, or otherwise cooperate in any way, assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage the submission of, any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) agree to or approve any Acquisition Proposal. The Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, orally and in writing if any such Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or other contact with any person with respect thereto, is made. Any such notice to Purchaser shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or other contact and the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or other contact. The Seller will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all contacts, discussions and negotiations with third parties regarding the foregoing. The Seller shall not release any person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which any member of the Company Group is a party in connection with the process of selling the Company Group, without the prior written consent of Purchaser. As used herein, the term “Acquisition Proposal” means any offer or proposal relating to, or any indication of interest in, (i) a direct or indirect possible sale or other disposition (whether by merger, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of all or any part of the stock, Equity Securities or assets of the Company Group, (ii) any merger, consolidation or other business combination

relating to the Company Group or (iii) any recapitalization, reorganization or any other extraordinary business transaction involving or otherwise relating to the Company Group.

(g) 280G Consent. Following the date hereof, the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Person to whom any payment or benefit is required or proposed to be made that could constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) a written agreement waiving such Person’s right to receive or retain some or all of such payment or benefit (the “Waived Benefit”) so that all remaining payments or benefits applicable to such Person shall not be deemed to be a parachute payment that would not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code, and to accept in substitution for such Waived Benefit the right to receive such payment or benefit only if approved by the equity holders of the Seller in a manner that complies with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code. As soon as practicable thereafter but in any event prior to two Business Days before the Closing, the Seller shall seek approval from the equity holders of the Seller in a manner that complies with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code of all payments and benefits that have been conditioned on the receipt of such approval. Prior to soliciting such waivers and vote, the Seller shall provide a draft of such waivers and such equity holder vote solicitation materials (together with supporting documentation) to Purchaser for Purchaser’s review and comment, and the Seller (and its advisors) shall incorporate such comments in good faith. Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser written notice that a vote of the equity holders was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1(g) and that either (i) the requisite number of votes was obtained with respect to the Waived Benefits (the “280G Approval”) or (ii) the 280G Approval was not obtained, and, as a consequence, the Waived Benefits shall not be made or provided.

5.2 Purchaser’s Obligations. The following are Purchaser’s obligations prior to Closing:

(a) Confidentiality. Purchaser hereby agrees to comply with the obligations under that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated March 24, 2022, by and among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Company, L.L.C. and Compass Group Management LLC (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), except that Purchaser hereby agrees that all contacts with Purchaser and other persons with respect to the Company Group’s businesses, including contact with the Company Group’s employees, independent contractors, suppliers and customers, shall be coordinated through ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Company, L.L.C. or any other person designated in writing by the Seller to Purchaser.

(b) Warranty Policy. Purchaser shall pay all fees, costs and expenses (including all premium amounts) related to the Warranty Policy and has provided a copy of such Warranty Policy to the Seller prior to the date hereof. Without the prior written consent of the Seller, Purchaser agrees not to, and shall cause each insured party under the Warranty Policy not to, enter into or consent to any amendment to, or termination, cancellation or revocation of, the Warranty Policy that would result in a material adverse effect on the Seller or any Seller Related Party.

(c) Lease Guaranty. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or have a Purchaser Affiliate provide, a replacement guaranty (the “Replacement Guaranty”) for the guaranty set forth on Schedule 5.2(c) (the “Existing Guaranty”), on substantially similar terms as the Existing Guaranty, which Replacement Guaranty shall be effective as of the Closing, provided, however, that a failure to provide such Replacement Guaranty (including as a result of the applicable landlord not accepting a Replacement Guaranty or requiring terms that are not substantially similar to those in the Existing Guaranty), shall not result in a breach by Purchaser of the covenant set forth in this Section 5.2(c) and shall not be a condition to the obligation of the Seller to effect the Closing hereunder,

and, provided, further, that upon a failure to provide such Replacement Guaranty, Purchaser shall indemnify Seller with respect to losses actually suffered by the Seller under the Existing Guaranty, in each case to the extent of losses arising under such guaranty as a result of actions, omissions or circumstances under the underlying lease first accruing or arising after the Closing Date.

5.3 Joint Obligations. The following shall apply with equal force to the Seller and Purchaser prior to Closing:

(a) Consummate Transaction. Each of the Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable.

(b) Breach. Neither the Seller nor Purchaser shall intentionally perform any act which, if performed, or intentionally omit to perform any act which, if omitted to be performed, would prevent or excuse the performance of this Agreement by any party hereto or which would result in any representation or warranty herein contained of said party to be untrue in any material respect as if originally made on and as of the Closing Date.

(i) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in any event within seven (7) Business Days after the date hereof), each of the parties hereto shall (x) file with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice the notifications and other information required to be filed under the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions and (y) as promptly as practicable, make any filings required or advisable under other applicable Antitrust Laws. Each of the parties hereto agrees to file any additional information requested by such agencies under the HSR Act and to reasonably make available to the other parties such information relative to its business, assets and property as such other parties may be required to file pursuant to the HSR Act or at the request of such agencies. Each party hereto will provide to the other party copies of all correspondence between it (or its advisors) and any such agency relating to this Agreement or any of the matters described in this Section 5.3(c); provided, that such correspondence does not contain or reveal confidential or privileged information of Purchaser, the Seller, the Company Group or their respective Affiliates or export-controlled information subject to export bans or licensing requirements.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the parties’ undertakings pursuant to this Section 5.3(c), each of the parties agrees to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or eliminate any impediments under any export control, antitrust, foreign investment, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the parties hereto to expeditiously consummate the Transactions no later than the Termination Date; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be required to propose, negotiate, offer to commit and effect, by consent decree, hold separate orders or otherwise, the sale, divesture or disposition of such of its or its Subsidiaries’ (or, following the Closing, the Company Group’s) assets, properties or businesses.

(iii) Subject to the terms hereof (including Section 5.3(c)(ii) above), the parties hereto shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any government clearances or approvals required for the Closing under any Antitrust Law, to respond to any government requests for

information under any Antitrust Law, to cause any waiting periods under any applicable Antitrust Laws to expire or be terminated, and to contest and resist any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any Action. The parties hereto shall reasonably consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other parties in advance, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law. Neither the Seller nor Purchaser shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Laws or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority, except with the prior written consent of the other party. Each of the Seller and Purchaser shall, except as required by Law, not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the Transactions unless it consults with such other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives such other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat.

ARTICLE VII

Post-Closing Agreements

7.1 No Survival; Certain Waivers.

(a) Other than in the case of Fraud, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Seller and the Company Group contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement will not survive beyond the Closing such that no claim for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought after the Closing with respect thereto against the Seller, any of the Seller’s Affiliates, or the Seller’s or the Seller’s Affiliates’ respective equityholders, members, partners, shareholders, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents and their respective representatives, heirs, successors and assigns (each a “Seller Related Party” and, collectively, the “Seller Related Parties”), and there will be no liability in respect thereof, whether such liability has accrued prior to or after the Closing, on the part of any the Seller, the Company Group or any other Seller Related Parties, except for those covenants and agreements and other provisions contained herein or in any agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing, including those set forth in ARTICLE II (Purchase and Sale of the Shares), this ARTICLE VII (Post-Closing Agreements) and ARTICLE IX (Miscellaneous). Other than in the case of Fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser and the Purchaser Related Parties with respect to breaches of representations and warranties made to Purchaser shall be strictly limited to the Warranty Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, other than in the case of Fraud, the limitations on liability set forth in this Agreement shall still apply if the Warranty Policy is revoked, cancelled or modified in any manner or if the Warranty Policy insurer denies coverage for, or is unable to pay, any losses of Purchaser or the Purchaser Related Parties.

(b) Other than in the case of Fraud, Purchaser, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their respective equityholders, members, partners, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, successors and assigns (including, after the Closing, the Company Group) (each a “Purchaser Related Party” and, collectively, the “Purchaser Related Parties”), acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (including all matters arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et seq. or any other Environmental Law), any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against the Seller, any member of the Company Group or any Seller Related Party relating to the operation of the Company Group or their respective businesses or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any Exhibit or Disclosure Schedule hereto, or any Ancillary Agreement or as a result of any of the Transactions, whether arising under, or based upon, any Law (including common law) or otherwise

(including any right, whether arising at Law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law) are hereby irrevocably waived, in each case, other than claims against (i) the Seller pursuant to the terms of Sections 7.5, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 7.10, 9.1 and 9.3, (ii) any Rollover Holder pursuant to the Contribution Agreements and, if applicable, the Post-Signing Contribution Agreements, or any Non-Equity Rollover Holder related to the Subscription Agreement, and any related agreements in each case, or (iii) any Seller Related Party pursuant to the Non-Solicitation Agreement, the Restrictive Covenant Agreements, the Escrow Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, as applicable, to the extent, in each case, that such claims relate to obligations of the relevant party that survive the Closing. Furthermore, without limiting the generality of this Section 7.1 (No Survival; Certain Waivers) and other than (x) in the case of Fraud, (y) claims against any Rollover Holder pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and, if applicable, the Post-Signing Contribution Agreements, or any Non-Equity Rollover Holder related to the Subscription Agreement, and any related agreements, or (z) claims against any Seller Related Party pursuant to the Non-Solicitation Agreement, the Restrictive Covenant Agreements, the Escrow Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, as applicable, to the extent, in each case, that such claims relate to obligations of the relevant party that survive the Closing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no claim will be brought or maintained by, or on behalf of, Purchaser or any other Purchaser Related Parties (including, after the Closing, the Company Group) against the Seller, the Company Group or any other Seller Related Party, and no recourse will be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of, or based upon, any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Seller or any other person set forth or contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit or Disclosure Schedule hereto, or any Ancillary Agreement, or as a result of any of the Transactions.

(c) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser Related Parties may not avoid the limitation on liability set forth in the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b) by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived, in each case against any Seller Related Party.

(d) The parties hereto agree that the limits imposed on Purchaser’s remedies with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Seller hereunder. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 7.1 are an integral part of the Transactions and that without these agreements set forth in this Section 7.1, the Seller would not enter into this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise agree to consummate the Transactions.

7.2 Access to Records. Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company Group to, provide reasonable access upon reasonable notice to the books and records of the Company Group to the Seller and its designees and representatives, for reasonable business purposes at all reasonable times during normal business hours, at Seller’s sole cost and expense for a six (6) year period after the Closing Date, to the extent relating to the business of the Company Group prior to the Closing Date, as reasonably required by the Seller for legitimate business purposes, which access shall be conducted in such a manner as to not interfere unreasonably with the operations of Purchaser or the Company Group; provided, however, that (x) this provision shall not require Purchaser to permit any access, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, would reasonably be expected to result in (A) the loss of attorney-client privilege with respect to such information or (B) a Governmental Authority alleging that providing such information violates Antitrust Law, and (y) in no event shall the Seller or its designees or representatives be permitted to conduct any environmental inspections or reviews that involve sampling or other invasive testing at any of the properties without first obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent

thereto. If Purchaser determines in good faith, after consulting with counsel and Purchaser, that provision of certain access or information would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege or violate any applicable Law, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company Group to, use reasonable best efforts to implement alternative arrangements to provide the Seller alternative means of obtaining such access or information to the fullest extent practicable without risking loss of attorney-client privilege or violating applicable Law (including for example, redactions, summaries of information, etc.). As used in this Section 7.2, the right of access includes the right to make extracts or copies.

7.3 Compliance with WARN Act. Purchaser agrees that it will not, and will cause the Company Group to not, cause any of the employees of the Company Group to suffer an “employment loss” for purposes of the WARN Act if such employment loss would create any liability for the Seller under the WARN Act.

7.4 Covered Person Liability.

(a) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause each member of the Company Group to: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each present or former officer, director or manager of the Company Group (each, a “Covered Person”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), fines and settlements in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Action arising out of or pertaining to any act or omission occurring on or prior to the Closing (including any which arise out of or relate to the Transactions), whether asserted or commenced prior to, on or after the Closing (each, a “D&O Claim”), to the full extent required by the provisions as in effect on the date hereof of each member company of the Company Group’s Organizational Documents, or pursuant to Law or any individual indemnity agreement as in effect as of the date hereof, with respect to the indemnification of Covered Persons (the “Indemnification Provisions”); (ii) advance expenses to the Covered Persons in connection with each D&O Claim to the full extent required or permitted by the Indemnification Provisions; (iii) honor the Indemnification Provisions as contract rights in favor of the Covered Persons, with respect to any D&O Claim; and (iv) maintain director and officer liability insurance which insurance shall provide coverage for the individuals who were Covered Persons of the Company Group prior to the Closing not less favorable than the coverage provided by the policy or policies maintained by the Company Group immediately prior to the Closing for the benefit of Covered Persons (the “D&O Tail”); provided that if the D&O Tail costs more than 300% of the current annual premium, the D&O Tail shall provide the maximum amount of coverage that can be obtained for 300% of the current annual premium.

(b) All rights to exculpation and indemnification for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing now existing in favor of the Covered Persons as provided in any Indemnification Provision on the date hereof shall be maintained and shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of six (6) years after the Closing and Purchaser shall not and shall cause the members of the Company Group not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify such arrangements in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Covered Persons thereunder for such time period.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is agreed that the rights of a Covered Person under this Section 7.4 shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other rights such Covered Person may have under the Indemnification Provisions, and nothing in this Section 7.4 shall have the effect of, or be construed as having the effect of, reducing the benefits to the Covered Persons under such arrangements.

(d) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Covered Persons may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by other persons. Purchaser hereby agrees (i) that Purchaser and the members of the Company Group are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., their obligations to the Covered Persons are primary and any obligation of such other persons to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any such Covered Person are secondary), (ii) that Purchaser and the members of the Company Group, as applicable, shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any Covered Person and shall be liable for the full indemnifiable amounts, in each case in accordance with the indemnification obligations described in this Section 7.4, without regard to any rights any such Covered Person may have against any such other person, and (iii) that Purchaser irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases (and shall cause the Company to irrevocably waive, relinquish and release) such other persons from any and all claims against any such other persons for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. Each of Purchaser and the members of the Company Group further agrees that no advancement or payment by any of such other persons on behalf of any such Covered Persons with respect to any claim for which such Covered Person has sought indemnification from Purchaser or any member of the Company Group shall affect the foregoing.

(e) The provisions of this Section 7.4 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the parties described in this Section 7.4, their heirs and their personal representatives. Purchaser shall cause the surviving or resulting entity of any merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving a member of the Company Group to assume the obligations imposed by this Section 7.4.

7.5 Tax Matters.

(a) Pre-Closing Tax Matters.

(i) The Seller shall be entitled to the refunds of (or credit against) Taxes allocable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period set forth on Schedule 7.5(a)(i), to the extent not accounted for in the Final Purchase Price. Except with the written consent of the Seller, Purchaser shall cause Tax refund or any credits against Taxes allocable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period to be claimed or cause a reduction in Taxes in the first year the refund or credit is available and shall not elect to carryover such refund or credit to a succeeding Tax year. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take such steps as may be reasonably available to secure any such refund or credit at the sole expense of Seller, provided that in no event shall Purchaser be required to file amended Tax Returns. Such Tax refunds or credits (net of any reasonable cost to Purchaser in obtaining or receiving such refunds or credits) shall be paid over by Purchaser to the Seller, as additional purchase price for the Shares, within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereto. Any over-accrual of Tax liabilities within the Closing Working Capital calculation or Indebtedness shall be considered a Tax refund allocated to a Pre-Closing Tax Period that is realized at the time that the Tax Return is filed that relates to such over-accrued Taxes.

(ii) Purchaser and Seller shall each be liable for and pay fifty percent (50%) of any real property transfer or gains Tax, sales Tax, use Tax, documentary, recording, registration or stamp Tax, stock transfer Tax, or other similar Tax imposed on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iii) To the extent the related expenses are economically borne by Seller, all deductions for (x) any bonuses paid on or prior to the Closing Date in connection with the

transactions contemplated hereby, (y) expenses with respect to Indebtedness being paid in connection with the Closing, and (z) all transaction expenses and payments that are deductible for Tax purposes, including the Transaction Expenses and other fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, and investment bankers (such deductions described in clauses (x) through (z), the “Transaction Tax Deductions”) shall be claimed in a Pre-Closing Tax Period, to the extent permitted by applicable Law to a “more likely than not” level of comfort, and the Company Group shall make or cause to be made the safe harbor election described in IRS Revenue Procedure 2011-29 with respect to any Transaction Tax Deduction that is a “success-based fee” described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.263(a)-5(f).

(iv) Company Tax Benefits realized or obtained only in the Tax year of the Closing or the next two (2) succeding Tax years shall be paid by Purchaser to the Seller within ten (10) days of the date that such Company Tax Benefits are actually realized (net of any reasonable costs to Purchaser of obtaining such benefits) (except to the extent such Company Tax Benefits were accounted for in the Final Purchase Price). For purposes of this Section 7.5(a)(iv), a Company Tax Benefit is actually realized or obtained only (A) upon the filing of a Tax Return (including a short period Tax Return) that shows a reduced Tax liability or (B) upon receipt of a Tax refund. Company Tax Benefits shall be calculated on a “with-and-without” basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall Purchaser be required to amend Tax Returns.

(v) To the extent permitted under applicable Law, the parties shall treat any gains, income, deductions, losses, or other items realized by the Company Group for Income Tax purposes with respect to any transaction outside the ordinary course of business engaged in by the Company Group on the Closing Date, which occurs after the Closing or at the direction of Purchaser (other than transactions contemplated by this Agreement), as occurring on the day immediately following the Closing Date and to utilize the “next day rule” in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law) for purposes of reporting such items on applicable Tax Returns; provided, however, for clarity, that the Transaction Tax Deductions shall be claimed in the Pre-Closing Tax Period in accordance with Section 7.5(a)(iii) and Section 7.5(d) to the extent permitted by applicable Law to a “more likely than not” level of comfort.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent not accounted for in the Final Purchase Price, Purchaser’s sole and only source of recovery and recourse for Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be under the Warranty Policy, in accordance with its terms and up to the maximum applicable and available limits. From and after the Closing until the time that the Final Purchase Price is finally determined under Section 2.4, without the consent of Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company Group shall not (and Purchaser shall cause the Company Group not to): (A) make, change or revoke any Tax election or deemed Tax election that has any retroactive effect to the portion of any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including an election under Section 338 of the Code in respect of the transactions subject to this Agreement), (B) grant an extension of any applicable statute of limitations that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period except for customary extensions upon request from a Taxing Authority, (C) amend or cause to be amended any Tax Return that relates to or includes a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (D) initiate any contact (including through any voluntary disclosure program or filing of a Tax Return that relates to or includes a Pre-Closing Tax Period inconsistent with past practice) with any Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes or Tax Returns that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (E) settle or compromise any Tax claim for a Pre-Closing Tax Period,

or (F) take any action on the Closing Date but after the Closing other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or in the ordinary course of business, if, in each of the cases of clauses (A) through (F), such action causes the Final Purchase Price to decrease. Any such Taxes that arises as a result of a breach of the covenant set forth in the previous sentence shall not be taken into account in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price. If any such Taxes reportable on a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period to be filed by Purchaser after the Closing Date have the impact of reducing the Final Purchase Price as finally determined under Section 2.4, (x) such Tax Returns shall be filed in a manner consistent with past practice and no position shall be taken, election made or method adopted that is inconsistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in prior periods in preparing and filing similar Tax Returns, provided positions taken on such Tax Returns are at a “more likely than not” level of comfort, and (y) such Tax Returns shall be submitted to Seller not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns (or, if such due date is within forty five (45) days following the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date) for review and approval by the Seller, and Purchaser shall take into account any changes to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Seller.

(vii) If any amounts paid to Seller pursuant to Section 7.5(a)(i) and Section 7.5(a)(iv), shall subsequently be challenged successfully by any Governmental Authority, Seller shall repay to Purchaser or the Company such amount received by the Seller pursuant to Section 7.5(a)(i) and Section 7.5(a)(iv), net of any Tax benefits realized by the Company Group or Purchaser as a result of the payment of such amount to the Governmental Authority (together with any interest and penalties assessed by such Governmental Authority in respect of such amount). Such repayment obligation shall survive until the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the collection by the applicable Governmental Authority or other person of the Tax liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof). Any such payment shall be treated as an adjustment ot the Aggregate Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.5(a)(iv), the Seller’s obligations under this Section 7.5(a)(iv) shall in no event exceed the amounts paid to the Seller pursuant to Section 7.5(a)(i) and Section 7.5(a)(iv).

(viii) Any amounts otherwise payable to the Seller pursuant to Section 7.5(a)(i) and Section 7.5(a)(iv) shall be paid by Purchaser as follows: (i) the Prosperity Plan Portion of such amounts otherwise payable to Seller pursuant to Section 7.5(a)(i) and Section 7.5(a)(iv) shall be paid to the Prosperity Plan Recipients (net of any applicable withholding Taxes) through the Company Group’s payroll provider, and (ii) the remainder shall be paid to the Seller pursuant to Section 7.5(a)(i) and Section 7.5(a)(iv).

(b) Tax Sharing Agreements. The Seller and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall terminate as of the Closing Date any Tax sharing agreements or arrangements between the Seller and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any other person, and such Tax sharing agreements or arrangements shall have no further effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year). After the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not have any further rights or liabilities thereunder or under any payables or receivables arising therefrom or thereunder.

(i) Purchaser and the Company, on the one hand, and each Seller on the other, shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns related to the Company Group and any claim with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and, upon the other party’s request, the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such claim and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided that (x) Purchaser and the Company shall not be required to provide any Seller any Affiliated Group’s Tax Return or portion thereof (including any work papers or related documentation) of Purchaser or its Affiliates, (y) the Seller shall not be required to provide Purchaser any Affiliated Group’s Tax Return or portion thereof (including any work papers or related documentation) of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). Purchaser and the Company, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date for a period of seven (7) years and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority; provided, that Purchaser may dispose of such books and records that are offered in writing to, but not accepted by, Seller.

(d) Allocation of Taxes for a Straddle Period. For any Straddle Period, Taxes shall be attributable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date in an amount equal to: (i) in the case of any gross receipts, income, payroll, employment or similar Taxes, the portion of such Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date, as determined on the basis of the deemed closing of the books and records of the Company at the Measurement Time (unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law) and (ii) in the case of any Taxes other than those described in clause (i), the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period from the beginning of the Straddle Period through and including the day prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. For purposes of a Tax that is imposed as a result of the application of any rule under Subpart F of Subchapter N of the Code, the taxable period shall be assumed to end at the Measurement Time using a “closing of the books” method. For clarity, all Transaction Tax Deductions and amounts set forth in Schedule 7.5(a)(i) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending at the Measurement Time to the extent permitted by applicable Law to a “more likely than not” level of comfort.

(e) PN7.

(i) At Closing, the Seller shall effect the indirect transfer of the PrimaLoft (Xiamen) Trading Co LTD (the “China Entity”) to Purchaser (the “Indirect Transfer”). Within thirty (30) days of the execution of this Agreement (subject to commercially reasonable delays, including the normal processing time for the Seller’s tax advisors to translate this Agreement into a form that is acceptable to the PRC Taxing Authority), the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to voluntarily file (whether in one or more filings), on behalf of the Seller and Purchaser, the documentation required by Circular – SAT Notice [2015] 7 (“Notice 7”) as a result of the Indirect Transfer, and any related transfers, with the applicable PRC Taxing Authority. The Seller shall, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the submission of such Notice 7 filing(s), deliver to Purchaser drafts of all Notice 7 filing(s) for Purchaser’s comment and approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and, within five (5) Business Days after filing, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser complete copies of such filings and, if provided,

an acknowledgement of receipt of such Notice 7 filing(s) issued by the applicable PRC Taxing Authority or other documentary evidence reasonably acceptable to Purchaser evidencing that such filing was made. The Seller shall timely notify Purchaser of any communications relating to the Indirect Transfer and such Notice 7 filing(s) with the relevant PRC Taxing Authority and shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the progress of such communications (including by providing to Purchaser copies of all material reporting and filings relating to the Indirect Transfer and the Notice 7 filing(s)) and shall allow Purchaser to participate in any such communications. Purchaser shall notify the Seller promptly, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after receipt, of any queries or requests by any PRC Taxing Authority related to the Indirect Transfer of the China Entity to Purchaser.

(ii) If the Indirect Transfer is determined to be a taxable transaction in China, the Seller and Purchaser shall each be responsible for timely paying fifty percent (50%) of any additional China Taxes attributable to the Indirect Transfer to the appropriate PRC Taxing Authority, and the party under applicable Law that is required to do so shall file any applicable Tax Returns with the appropriate PRC Taxing Authority. Purchaser and Seller shall each be liable for and pay fifty percent (50%) of any such Taxes and relevant late payment surcharges and penalties (if any). If the Indirect Transfer is determined by the PRC Taxing Authority to be non-taxable in China, Seller shall provide to Buyer a tax notice issued by the PRC Taxing Authority or other documentary evidence reasonably acceptable to Buyer such as a meeting minutes/ note issued by a reputable tax advisor in relation to a meeting with the PRC Taxing Authority confirming the non-taxable position.

7.6 Employee Matters.

(b) Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, honor all vacation, sick pay and other paid time off for Company Employees accrued but unused as of the Closing Date, on terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(d) With respect to each Purchaser Benefit Plan that is a group health plan which replaces coverage under a comparable Benefit Plan in which any Company Employee participated immediately

prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) all preexisting condition exclusions, evidence of insurability or good health, waiting periods, actively-at-work exclusions or other limitations with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Company Employee to be waived to the extent waived or satisfied under the comparable Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) credit to be given to each Company Employee for any applicable amounts paid or eligible expenses incurred (whether in the nature of co-payments or coinsurance amounts, amounts applied toward deductibles or other out-of-pocket expenses) by such Company Employee (and his or her covered spouses, dependents or beneficiaries) under the terms of the Benefit Plan toward satisfying any applicable deductible, co-payment, coinsurance, maximum out-of-pocket requirements and like adjustments or limitations under the applicable Purchaser Benefit Plan that replaces such Benefit Plan for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. Purchaser acknowledges that it has conducted an independent investigation of the financial condition, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company Group in making its determination as to the propriety of the Transactions, and in entering into this Agreement, has relied solely on the results of said investigation and on the representations and warranties of the Company Group and the Seller expressly contained in this Agreement.

9.5 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by the Seller without the prior written consent of Purchaser, or by Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Seller, in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by such party, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and of no force and effect; provided, however, that (a) Purchaser (i) may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any Affiliate; and (ii) may assign its rights, but not its obligations, under this Agreement to any lender to Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof as security for obligations to such lender in respect of the financing arrangements entered into in connection with the Transactions; provided, further, that no assignment to any such Affiliate or lender shall in any way affect Purchaser’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, and (b) after the Closing, the Seller may assign this Agreement to any of their respective beneficial owners or successors by operation of Law; provided, that no such assignment shall in any way affect the Seller’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.

9.6 Schedules and Exhibits. The Schedules and Exhibits (including the Disclosure Schedules) referenced in this Agreement constitute an integral part of this Agreement as if fully rewritten herein and shall be considered incorporated herein. The information and disclosures set forth on any particular schedule of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference with respect to all other schedules of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent that the applicability of such information and disclosures to such other schedules is readily apparent. The inclusion of any information or disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed an admission that such information or disclosure is material for the purposes of this Agreement. Where the representations and warranties in this Agreement contain specific dollar threshold items, disclosures listed in response thereto may include items that are below such dollar thresholds. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only. The inclusion of any information or disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules relating to any

possible breach or violation of any contract or Law will not be construed as an admission or indication to any third party that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

9.7 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except pursuant to an instrument in writing duly executed by an authorized representative on behalf of Purchaser and the Seller. In addition, any failure of a party hereto to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained herein may be waived only if set forth in an instrument in writing and duly executed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. The failure in any one or more instances of a party hereto to insist upon performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, to exercise any right or privilege in this Agreement conferred, or the waiver by said party of any breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as a subsequent waiver of any such terms, covenants, conditions, rights or privileges, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect as if no such forbearance or waiver had occurred.

9.8 Counterparts and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile or other copy of a signature, including execution and delivery of the Agreement by electronic exchange bearing the copies of the signature of a party hereto, shall be deemed an original for purposes of this Agreement. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document, will be disregarded in determining a party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

9.9 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction so as to best give effect to the intent of the parties hereto under this Agreement.

9.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice-of-laws or conflicts-of-laws provisions thereof.

9.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer on any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, including third party beneficiary rights, except that the Covered Persons shall be third party beneficiaries of Section 7.4.

9.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, SUIT, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION, INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER, RELATED TO, BASED ON, OR IN

CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THE TRANSACTIONS, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 9.12 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 9.12 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

9.13 Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties to this Agreement submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of Delaware Chancery Court, any other state court in the State of Delaware, and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (and the appropriate appellate courts), in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, and by this Agreement, waive, and agree not to assert, any defense in any Action for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, that they are not subject thereto or that such Action may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts or that their property is exempt or immune from execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of the Action is improper. Each party hereto waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents that all services of process be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, directed to it at its address as set forth in Section 9.2, and service so made shall be treated as completed when received. Nothing in this Section 9.13 shall affect the right of the parties hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

9.14 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by a party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by a party hereto. It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by another party hereto and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof against another party hereto in any court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which a party hereto is entitled at law or in equity.

9.15 Interpretation. Unless the context indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The term “person” shall be construed broadly to include any individual, any type of business entity (including a corporation, joint-stock company, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association or unincorporated association), any other type of legal entity (including a trust), or any other entity or organization, including any Governmental Authority. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation” or “but not limited to.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereby,” “herewith” and “hereof” and words of like import, unless otherwise stated, refer to this entire Agreement as a whole (including any schedules and exhibits hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Article, Section, Schedules and Exhibit references are to the Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement. The term “pending” shall mean pending (but shall not be construed as referring to any Action against the Company Group or the Seller that has been filed but not yet served on the Company Group or the Seller), and “threatened” means threatened (and shall be construed as referring, without limitation, to any Action against the Company

Group or the Seller that has been filed but not yet served on the Company Group or the Seller). The words describing the singular number will include the plural and vice versa. The phrase “made available” in this Agreement will mean that the information referred to has been made available if requested by the party to whom such information is to be made available and such requested information shall be deemed to have been “made available” if such information has been posted to an electronic datasite that is accessible by such requesting party or a representative thereof or such requested information has been emailed or otherwise sent to such requesting party or representative or such requesting party or representative otherwise has knowledge of how to obtain access to such requested information. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a national holiday or a day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized to close. All references to “dollars” or “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (a) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and by this Agreement; and (b) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. References to the “Company Group” shall be deemed to refer to each member company of the Company Group, individually, where the context indicates.

9.16 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not themselves form a part of this Agreement and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

9.17 Waiver of Conflicts; Attorney-Client Communications.

(b) Purchaser, for itself, its Affiliates (including the Company Group following the Closing) and any other Purchaser Related Party, irrevocably acknowledges and agrees as follows: (i) all communications of any nature at any time (and all records of such communications) between any or all of the Seller, the Seller’s members and the Company Group (prior to Closing), any officer, manager, director, employee, or agent of the Company Group, and their respective Affiliates, any of the Company Group’s brokers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants and other advisors, including Blank Rome

LLP and their respective partners and employees, and all work product of Blank Rome LLP with respect to, relating to, or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute or Action arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Transactions or any Acquisition Proposal, and all matters related to any of the foregoing (individually and collectively “Attorney-Client Communications”) shall at all times be subject to the attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product doctrine, as applicable, solely in favor of and held by the Seller, and shall be deemed to be confidential and proprietary information solely of the Seller; (ii) such privilege or doctrine shall be held solely by, and may be waived only by, the Seller and its respective representatives, successors and assigns, and not by the Company Group, Purchaser or any other Purchaser Related Party, or their Affiliates, successor or assigns; (iii) all Attorney-Client Communications, and all records, and copies or extracts of records, of or maintained by the Company Group of or relating to Attorney-Client Communications in any form, including hard copy or in digital or electronic media, and all rights, privileges and interests therein shall be (and hereby are) irrevocably and completely assigned, transferred and delivered by the Company Group to the Seller immediately prior to Closing, may be removed by the Seller from the Company Group’s possession, and the Company Group and the Purchaser Related Parties and their Affiliates, successors and assigns shall have no right or interest therein of any nature whatsoever including any access to or possession of such records or copies and any right to waive the attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product doctrine with respect to any Attorney-Client Communications and (iv) Blank Rome LLP shall not have any duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Attorney-Client Communications or files to the Company Group or any other Purchaser Related Party by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Blank Rome LLP and the Company Group, the Purchaser Related Parties or otherwise.

(c) Purchaser, for itself, its Affiliates (including the Company Group following the Closing) and any other Purchaser Related Party acknowledges that they have had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Section 9.17. This Section 9.17 is for the benefit of the Seller. This Section 9.17 is irrevocable, and no term of this Section 9.17 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of the Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser or any member of the Company Group and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement) after the Closing, the Company Group may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by the Seller or its Affiliates to such third party. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit any right of Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company Group) to obtain any information in connection with any dispute among the parties and/or the Seller to the extent permitted by the applicable rules of discovery (taking into account the attorney-client privilege retained by the Seller and its respective representatives, successors and assigns under this Section 9.17).
