EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT This EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of February 17, 2020, by and among EIS Buyer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), Tekra, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tekra”), Trient, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Trient” and, together with Tekra, each a “Target Company” and collectively, the “Target Companies”), DelStar Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and, solely for the purposes set forth in Section 11.23, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article X below. WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Seller owns all of the outstanding equity interests of the Target Companies (the “Acquired Equity”); WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Buyer, the Acquired Equity; WHEREAS, the respective boards of managers or directors or other governing bodies, as applicable, of Seller, the Target Companies, and Buyer have approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties, conditions and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I PURCHASE AND SALE OF EQUITY Section 1.01 Purchase and Sale of Equity. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller will sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase and acquire from Seller, the Acquired Equity, in exchange for the payment of the Estimated Purchase Price in cash to Seller. Payment for the Acquired Equity will be made by wire transfer on the Closing Date of immediately available funds to the Escrow and Paying Agent, and the Escrow and Paying Agent will pay such cash to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller to the Escrow and Paying Agent. Section 1.02 Calculation of Closing and Final Consideration. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Purchase Price” means an amount equal to: (i) $155,000,000.00, (ii) plus the total amount of Cash, LEGAL02/39540989v11

(iii) minus the outstanding amount of Indebtedness as of the Closing, (iv) minus the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, (v) plus the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Upper Limit; (vi) minus the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Lower Limit; (vii) minus the Adjustment Escrow Amount; and (viii) minus the Indemnity Escrow Amount. (b) At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Target Companies will deliver to Buyer a closing statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), setting forth the Target Companies’ good faith estimate of the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), and setting forth as separate line items all components thereof, including (i) the Target Companies’ supporting calculation of the Net Working Capital determined in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles and Schedule 10.01(e) and (ii) (A) a schedule setting forth the Seller Transaction Expenses estimated by the Target Companies in good faith to remain unpaid as of the Closing and (B) to the extent reasonably available, copies of invoices for such Seller Transaction Expenses (other than with respect to any change of control or similar bonus payments to be paid to employees via the Target Companies’ payroll), which include the wire transfer instructions, to the extent such Seller Transaction Expense remains unpaid. The Target Companies and Seller will consider in good faith any comments from Buyer with respect to the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price; provided that the Target Companies and Seller will not be required to incorporate any such comments into the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price. The Closing Statement will be based solely on facts and circumstances as they exist as of the Closing and will exclude the effect of any fact, event, change, circumstance, act, development or decision occurring after the Closing. (c) As promptly as possible, but in any event within 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Seller (i) an unaudited, consolidated balance sheet of the Target Companies as of the Closing (which will have been prepared with the assistance of Buyer’s or the Target Companies’ accountants) (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) Buyer’s calculation of the Purchase Price (together, the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement will be prepared in a manner consistent with the definitions of the terms Cash, Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses, Net Working Capital, the Agreed Accounting Principles and Schedule 10.01(e). The Transaction Tax Benefits Amount set forth on Schedule 10.01(e) will not be subject to post-Closing adjustment pursuant to Sections 1.02(c) or (d). The Closing Statement will entirely disregard (A) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Target Companies as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Buyer or any other transaction entered into by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (B) any of the plans, transactions, or changes which Buyer intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing 2 LEGAL02/39540989v11

with respect to the Target Companies or their business or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any of its assets or liabilities. (d) Buyer will, and will cause the Target Companies to, (i) assist Seller and its representatives in the review of the Closing Statement and provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data, facilities and employees of the Target Companies for purposes of their review of the Closing Statement, and (ii) reasonably cooperate with Seller and its representatives in connection with such review, including providing on a timely basis all other information necessary or useful in connection with the review of the Closing Statement as is reasonably requested by Seller or its representatives. If Seller has any objections to the Closing Statement, Seller will deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”), which statement will identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which Seller objects (the “Disputed Items”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within 60 days after delivery of the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement as prepared by Buyer will be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto; provided that, in the event Buyer or any Target Company does not provide any papers or documents reasonably requested in writing by Seller or any of its representatives within five days of request therefor (or such shorter period as may remain in such 60-day period), such 60-day period will be extended by one day for each additional day required for Buyer or any Target Company to fully respond to such request; provided further that such 60-day period will be extended a minimum of 5 days following the date on which Buyer or one of the Target Companies have fully responded to such request. Seller and Buyer will negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items and all such discussions related thereto will (unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule, but if they do not reach a final resolution within 30 days after the delivery of the Objections Statement to Buyer, Seller and Buyer will submit any unresolved Disputed Items to Duff & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC, or if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve, such other independent national accounting, consulting or valuation firm mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller (the “Arbiter”). In the event the parties submit any unresolved Disputed Items to the Arbiter, each party will submit a Closing Statement (which in the case of each party may be a Closing Statement that, with respect to the unresolved Disputed Items (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), is different than (but not more favorable to the submitting party than) the Closing Statement initially submitted to Seller or the Objections Statement delivered to Buyer, as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate, to the Arbiter within 10 days after the date on which such unresolved Disputed Items were submitted to the Arbiter for resolution. Seller and Buyer will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Arbiter to resolve such dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the date on which the Arbiter receives the Closing Statements prepared by Seller and Buyer. Seller and Buyer will not engage in any ex-parte communication with the Arbiter. The Arbiter’s determination shall be based solely on the presentations by Buyer and Seller that are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review) and shall determine a value for each Disputed Item which is equal to or between the final values proposed by Buyer and Seller in their respective submissions. No discovery will be permitted and no arbitration hearing will be held. The resolution of the dispute by the Arbiter will be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto, and judgement may be entered upon the determination of the Arbiter in any court having jurisdiction over the 3 LEGAL02/39540989v11

party against which such determination is to be enforced. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Arbiter. The costs and expenses of the Arbiter will be allocated based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party in the presentation to the Arbiter. For example, if Seller submits an Objections Statement for $1,000, and if Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by Seller, and if the Arbiter ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Seller $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Arbiter will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300/500) to Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to Seller. (e) If the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.02(d) (the “Final Purchase Price”) is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then, within five Business Days after the determination of Final Purchase Price, (i) Buyer will pay an amount equal to such excess to the Escrow and Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and the Escrow and Paying Agent will pay to Seller such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller to the Escrow and Paying Agent, and (ii) Buyer and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to pay to Seller the Adjustment Escrow Funds, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated by Seller to the Escrow and Paying Agent. If the Final Purchase Price equals the Estimated Purchase Price, within five Business Days after determination of the Final Purchase Price, Buyer and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Adjustment Escrow Funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller to the Escrow and Paying Agent. (f) If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price (the amount by which the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, the “Shortfall”), then, within five Business Days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price, Buyer and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to pay (i) to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Shortfall from (and up to the amount of) the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and (ii) to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the remainder, if any, of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, to an account or accounts designated by Seller to the Escrow and Paying Agent; provided, that if the then remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds are less than the aggregate amount of the Shortfall, then Seller shall pay or cause to be paid an amount equal to the Shortfall less the amount released to Buyer from the Adjustment Escrow Funds (such amount, the “Remaining Shortfall”), or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, Buyer may elect for Buyer and Seller to jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Remaining Shortfall from the Indemnity Escrow Funds. (g) All payments required pursuant to Section 1.02(e) and Section 1.02(f) will be deemed to be adjustments for Tax purposes to the Purchase Price. Section 1.03 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, on the second Business Day following satisfaction of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article II (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) (the “Scheduled Closing Date”) or such other date as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree; provided, that, in no event shall the Scheduled Closing Date occur 4 LEGAL02/39540989v11

prior to March 13, 2020 without Buyer’s consent. The date of the Closing is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” The Closing will be deemed to occur at 12:01 A.M. Eastern time on the Closing Date. Section 1.04 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any amounts payable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby may be reduced by any Tax withholding that is required by Law, and any amount so withheld and paid to the applicable Governmental Body will be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Person with respect to which the withholding was made. Buyer will use commercially reasonably efforts to notify Seller in writing of such intent to deduct and withhold at least three Business Days prior to any deduction or withholding and will in good faith reasonably cooperate with Seller to eliminate or otherwise reduce any such deduction or withholding to the extent permitted by applicable Law. In the case of any such payment treated as compensation, the parties will cooperate to pay such amounts through the Target Companies’ payroll to facilitate applicable withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted and timely paid to the appropriate Governmental Body, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

of any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, based on or arising out or relating to the fact that such Person is or was a director or officer of any Target Company (in their capacities as such and not as equityholders) arising out of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing (including in respect of acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby) (a “D&O Indemnifiable Claim”) and (ii) advance to such D&O Indemnified Persons all D&O Expenses incurred in connection with any D&O Indemnifiable Claim (including in circumstances where the D&O Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of such claim) promptly after receipt of reasonably detailed statements therefor; provided, however, that the Person to whom D&O Expenses are to be advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification. Any D&O Indemnifiable Claims will continue until such D&O Indemnifiable Claim is disposed of or all judgments, orders, decrees or other rulings in connection with such D&O Indemnifiable Claim are fully satisfied. For the purposes of this Section 7.03(b), “D&O Expenses” will include attorneys’ fees and all other costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, to be a witness in or participate in any D&O Indemnifiable Claim, but will exclude losses, claims, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement (which items are included in the definition of D&O Costs). (c) At the Closing, Seller will, or will cause the Target Companies to, at Seller’s expense, obtain and fully pay for irrevocable “tail” insurance policies naming the D&O Indemnified Persons as direct beneficiaries with a claims period of at least six years from the Closing Date from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Target Companies’ current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ liability insurance in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Target Companies’ existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date (including in respect of acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby). Buyer will, and will cause the Target Companies to, maintain such insurance policies and not cancel or change such insurance policies in any respect. (d) Buyer hereby acknowledges (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) that the D&O Indemnified Persons may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by current equityholders or other Affiliates of Seller or their respective equityholders (“Indemnitee Affiliates”) separate from the indemnification obligations of Buyer hereunder. The parties hereto agree that (i) Buyer and the Target Companies are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., their obligations to the D&O Indemnified Persons are primary and any obligation of any Indemnitee Affiliate to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or Liabilities incurred by the D&O Indemnified Persons are secondary), (ii) subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 7.03, Buyer and the Target Companies will be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the D&O Indemnified Persons and will be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted, without regard to any rights the D&O Indemnified Persons may have against any Indemnitee Affiliate, and (iii) Buyer and the Target Companies irrevocably waive, relinquish and release the Indemnitee Affiliates from any and all claims against the Indemnitee Affiliates for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. 43 LEGAL02/39540989v11

(e) In the event that all or substantially all of the assets of any Target Company are sold, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, then Buyer and the Target Companies will, in each such case, ensure that the successors and assigns of the Target Companies, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.03.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire (by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner), any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation could reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not 44 LEGAL02/39540989v11

obtaining, any Permits, orders or other approvals of any Governmental Body necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Body entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise, or (iv) delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, even if a Buyer Related Party would otherwise be entitled to recover a Loss pursuant to this Agreement: (i) no Buyer Related Party will be entitled to any indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(i) for a Loss if, with respect to any individual item (or group of related items) of Loss, such item is less than $25,000 (a “Minor Claim”); provided, that this Section 9.02(b)(i) will not apply to any breach of any Fundamental Representation or Tax Representation; (ii) no Buyer Related Party will be entitled to any indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(i) unless the aggregate amount of all Losses (excluding Minor Claims) relating to a breach of any representation or warranty of the Target Companies or Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02 would exceed, on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to $500,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible; provided, however, that this Section 9.02(b)(ii) will not apply to any breach of any Fundamental Representation or Tax Representation; (iii) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Buyer Related Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(i) will not exceed $500,000; provided, that this Section 9.02(b)(iii) will not apply to any breach of any Fundamental Representation or Tax Representation; (iv) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Buyer Related Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(i) will not exceed $750,000; (v) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Buyer Related Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(iii) will not exceed $16,000,000; and (vi) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Buyer Related Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.02(a) will not exceed an amount equal to the Final Purchase Price. 52 LEGAL02/39540989v11

(c) From and after the Closing (but subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX), any indemnification or other claims of the Buyer Related Parties will (i) first be paid from funds available in the Indemnity Escrow Account and (ii) thereafter will be paid by Seller. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller will have no obligation to indemnify any of the Buyer Related Parties from and against any Taxes of any Person (i) for any Post-Closing Tax Period (or any other Losses directly related to any such Taxes), other than Taxes that result from a breach of Section 4.13(i) or (ii) that are attributable to (A) any transaction occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing, (B) any taxable income or gain recognized by the Target Companies that is attributable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, the manner in which Buyer finances such transactions, but excluding the settlement of Contracts, intercompany balances, accounts receivable or accounts payable pursuant to Section 7.10), or (C) the unavailability in any taxable period (or portion hereof) beginning after the Closing Date of any net operating losses, credits or other Tax attribute from a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach and the amount of any Losses that are the subject matter of a claim pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(i) or Section 9.03(a)(i), each such representation and warranty shall be read without regard to and without giving effect to any Qualification contained in such representation or warranty (as if such Qualification were deleted from such representation or warranty). (f) All payments under this Section 9.02 will be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the proceeds received by Seller pursuant to Article I. The parties agree that the Indemnity Escrow Account will be treated as a contingent installment obligation for United States federal and all applicable United States state and local income Tax purposes, and that Buyer will be obligated to report all income, if any, that is earned on, or derived from, the Indemnity Escrow Account as income of Buyer in the taxable year or years in which such income is properly includible, and will be obligated to pay any Taxes attributable thereto. Each of the parties will file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the foregoing. Section 9.03 Indemnification for the Benefit of the Seller Related Parties. From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article IX), Buyer will indemnify the Seller Related Parties against and hold them harmless from any Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Related Parties to the extent such Loss directly results from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer set forth in Article V or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer or the Target Companies contained in this Agreement requiring performance by Buyer or the Target Companies after the Closing. All payments under this Section 9.03 will be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the proceeds received by Seller pursuant to Article I. Any indemnification of the Seller Related Parties pursuant to this Section 9.03 will be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts and in the amounts designated by Seller in writing. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, even if a Seller Related Party would otherwise be entitled to recover a Loss pursuant to this Agreement: 53 LEGAL02/39540989v11

(i) no Seller Related Party will be entitled to any indemnification under Section 9.03(i) for a Loss if it is a Minor Claim; provided, that this Section 9.03(a)(i) will not apply to any breach of any Buyer Fundamental Representation; (ii) no Seller Related Party will be entitled to any indemnification under Section 9.03(i) unless the aggregate amount of all Losses (excluding Minor Claims) relating to a breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement would exceed, on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to the Deductible, and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible; provided, however, that this Section 9.03(a)(ii) will not apply to any breach of any Buyer Fundamental Representation; (iii) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller Related Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.03(i) will not exceed $500,000; provided, that this Section 9.03(a)(iii) will not apply to any breach of any Buyer Fundamental Representation; (iv) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller Related Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.03(i) will not exceed $750,000; and (b) the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller Related Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.03 will not exceed an amount equal to the Final Purchase Price. Section 9.04 Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a party hereto in respect of a breach of representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement will terminate on the applicable survival termination date (as set forth in Section 9.01), unless, with respect to a representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement that terminates following the Closing Date, an Indemnified Party has incurred a Loss prior to such applicable survival termination date and made a proper claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02 or Section 9.03, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX (including application of Alternative Arrangements as required by Section 9.07(a)), prior to such termination date, as applicable, including by delivering a written notice (stating in reasonable detail to the extent known by the Indemnified Party the amount of the Losses and details of and the method of computation thereof, the nature of, and factual and legal basis for, any such claim for indemnification, and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made) to the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnified Party has made a proper claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX prior to such termination date, then such claim for such Loss incurred (and after giving effect to any reductions for Alternative Arrangements pursuant to Section 9.07(a)), and only such claim for such Loss as reduced after giving effect to such reductions incurred, if then unresolved, will not be extinguished by the passage of the deadlines set forth in Section 9.01 (notwithstanding any potential expiration of any applicable statute of limitations). Section 9.05 Procedures Relating to Indemnification. (a) Except with regards to Tax Proceedings, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall be governed by the provisions of Section 9.09(g), in order for any Buyer Related Party 54 LEGAL02/39540989v11

(in such capacity, the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such Third-Party Claim and the amount or method of computation of the amount of such Third-Party Claim (if known), of the Third-Party Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt, but in no event later than 30 days after receipt, by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided that failure to give such notification on a timely basis will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been materially and adversely prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. (b) Except with regards to Tax Proceedings, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall be governed by the provisions of Section 9.09(g), any Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of a Third-Party Claim at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, and at its option will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (except that the defense or prosecution of such claim shall be tendered to the insurance carrier of the R&W Insurance Policy if such carrier has assumed the defense thereof under the R&W Insurance Policy), by appointing its own counsel to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose (it being understood that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel will be borne solely by the Indemnified Party). Such written notice to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim will include a certification that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to or caused by such Third-Party Claim (subject to the limitations in this Article IX); provided that, the Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume the defense (and continue the defense) (i) unless the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against such Third-Party Claim, (ii) unless such Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iii) if such Third-Party Claim involves a criminal or quasi criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (iv) if the settlement of, or any adverse order with respect to, such Third-Party Claim is, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedent custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, (v) if such Third Party Claim is related to an existing customer or supplier of the Business, (vi) if such Third Party Claim involves any allegations that could adversely affect Buyer's ownership or other rights in and to the Company Owned Intellectual Property, and (vii) unless the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of such Third-Party Claim actively and diligently in accordance with the advice of such Indemnifying Party’s legal counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 55 LEGAL02/39540989v11

with respect to any Third-Party Claim for which the Buyer Related Parties are seeking indemnification hereunder, if, based on the limitations in this Article IX, the applicable Buyer Related Party reasonably determines that the potential Losses associated with such Third-Party Claim would be borne to a greater extent by the Buyer Related Parties (including as a result of a claim made pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy) than by Seller, then Seller will not be entitled to assume the defense or continue the defense of such Third-Party Claim. (c) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim then the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to settle such Third-Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party will obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a Third-Party Claim if, (A) (i) such settlement does not contain a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Parties and their Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third-Party Claim (except for payments that would be required to be paid by Buyer representing the Deductible) (ii) such settlement does not include a reasonable confidentiality obligation by the third-party claimant of the terms of the settlement, (iii) the Indemnified Party is not an express third-party beneficiary of the settlement agreement, entitled to enforce such settlement agreement or (iv) the consent of the carrier of the R&W Insurance Policy is required under the terms of the R&W Insurance Policy, or (B) would result in (i) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party, (ii) a finding or admission or a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party, (iii) a finding or admission that would have an adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party or the businesses of the Indemnified Parties, or (iv) any monetary liability of the Indemnified Party that will not be promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party (except for payments that would be required to be paid by Buyer representing the Deductible). (d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, all the parties will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees and other representatives and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis (and during normal business hours at reasonable locations) to provide additional information and explanation of any information provided hereunder. Whether or not Seller will have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim hereunder, no Buyer Related Party will admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third-Party Claim hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy, if applicable. The consent of Seller is required for any act on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties in the case of all Third-Party Claims with respect to which any Buyer Related Party is seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02. 56 LEGAL02/39540989v11

(e) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third-Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party will deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, will not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article X except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party will reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation will including providing, in each case during normal business hours at reasonable locations, reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing assistance with respect to such matters to the extent reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. Section 9.06 Mitigation. Any Indemnified Party that becomes aware of a Loss for which it seeks indemnification under this Article IX will, solely to the extent required by applicable Law, be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such Loss; provided that no party shall be required to institute any Proceeding against any third-party. Section 9.07 Determination of Loss Amount. (a) The amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under Section 9.02 and Section 9.03 will be calculated net of any amounts actually recovered in cash by any Indemnified Party or any of such Indemnified Party’s Affiliates under or pursuant to any insurance policy (excluding any recovery received under the R&W Insurance Policy), title insurance policy, indemnity, reimbursement arrangement or contract pursuant to or under which such Indemnified Party or such Indemnified Party’s Affiliates is a party or has rights, net of any deductible amounts, costs of collection or recovery, increases in premiums and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses related thereto (collectively, “Alternative Arrangements”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Buyer Related Parties will have no right to assert any claims, and the Buyer Related Parties will not be entitled to indemnification, with respect to any Losses that are covered by an Alternative Arrangement or would have been covered by an Alternative Arrangement had the Buyer Related Parties maintained for their benefit and the benefit of the Target Companies the same rights or coverage under an Alternative Arrangement following the Closing that was in effect for the Target Companies immediately prior to the Closing. The Indemnified Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all Alternative Arrangements covering any Loss to the same extent as such Indemnified Party would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event that a recovery is made under an Alternative Arrangement (excluding the R&W Insurance Policy) by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which such Indemnified Party has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery net of collection costs and net of any portion of the Loss borne by the 57 LEGAL02/39540989v11

Indemnified Party (but not to exceed the amount previously indemnified by the Indemnifying Party) will be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party. (b) No Buyer Related Party will be entitled to any indemnification under this Article IX to the extent (i) such matter was taken into account in determining the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.02, or (ii) a Buyer Related Party has been otherwise compensated for such matter pursuant to this Agreement. Section 9.08 Exclusive Remedy. (a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, excluding (i) claims for equitable relief as expressly set forth in this Agreement or (ii) any post- Closing adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.02, Buyer Related Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, will be for breach of contract only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement) to the extent a claim may be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Article IX and the Buyer Related Parties will have no other remedy or recourse with respect to any of the foregoing other than pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 9.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.08(a) does not limit the Buyer Related Parties’ right to enforce any of the Ancillary Agreements or the Restrictive Covenant Agreements in accordance with their respective terms. (b) The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on Buyer’s remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Seller hereunder. (c) Effective as of the Closing, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Releasors”), hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Buyer, the Target Companies and their Affiliates and each of their respective past, present or future officers, managers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates, employees, counsel and agents (each, a “Buyer Releasee”) of, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, debts, dues and suits of every kind, nature and description whatsoever, in law or in equity, which such Seller Releasor or its heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns ever had, now has or may in the future have on or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.08(c) to the contrary, the releases set forth in this Section 9.08(c) shall not affect or release the obligations of Buyer, the Target Companies or their respective Affiliates under this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, any other Ancillary Agreement or any of the Internal Reorganization Documents. Each Seller Releasor covenants and agrees not to, nor shall any Seller Releasor cause its respective Affiliates to, assert any such claim against any Buyer Releasee. 58 LEGAL02/39540989v11

(d) Effective as of the Closing, the Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Target Companies), successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Releasors”), hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective past, present or future officers, managers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates, employees, counsel and agents (each, a “Seller Releasee”) of, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, debts, dues and suits of every kind, nature and description whatsoever, in law or in equity, which such Buyer Releasor or its heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns ever had, now has or may in the future have on or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.08(d) to the contrary, the releases set forth in this Section 9.08(d) shall not affect or release the obligations of Seller under this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, any other Ancillary Agreements, the Restrictive Covenant Agreements or the Internal Reorganization Documents. Each Buyer Releasor covenants and agrees not to, nor shall any Buyer Releasor cause its respective Affiliates to, assert any such claim against any Seller Releasee. (e) Nothing in this Section 9.08 will limit any claim for Fraud. Section 9.09 Tax Matters. (a) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. (i) Buyer will, at its own cost, prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns for the Target Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period the due date of which (taking into account extensions of time to file) is after the Closing Date but, for any such Tax Return with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, only if not filed prior to Closing. Buyer will timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, any amount shown as due on such Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns that are with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods will be prepared in a manner consistent with the past custom and practice of the Target Companies, except as otherwise required by a change in applicable Law; provided that, with respect to the preparation and filing of the Tax Returns under this Section 9.09(a)(i) with respect to Income Taxes, (A) such Tax Returns will reflect all applicable Tax deductions for Transaction Tax Deductions in the Pre-Closing Tax Period so long as such Transaction Tax Deductions are “more likely than not” deductible (or deductible at a higher confidence level) in the Pre- Closing Tax Period of the Target Companies and, for that purpose, the parties hereto agree that the safe-harbor election of Rev. Proc. 2011-29 will be made with respect to any Transaction Tax Deduction that is a success-based fee, (B) any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by or at the direction of Buyer or its Affiliates or any other transactions entered into by or at the direction of Buyer or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby will not be taken into account in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and (C) any items of income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to transactions outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date after the time of the Closing will not be taken into account in the Pre-Closing Tax Period. Buyer will 59 LEGAL02/39540989v11

not, and will not permit the Target Companies or any of its Subsidiaries to, waive any carryback of any net operating loss, capital loss or credit on any such Tax Return. At least 30 days prior to the date on which each Tax Return is due, Buyer will submit such Tax Return to Seller for Seller’s review and comment, and (x) Buyer shall incorporate any such comments that are with respect to any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Period), and (y) Buyer shall reasonably consider in good faith any such comments that are with respect to any Tax Return for a Straddle Period; provided that, with respect to any Tax Return for which indemnification may reasonably be claimed by Buyer Related Parties against Seller hereunder, Seller shall have a right to review and approve any such Tax Returns (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). (ii) For the portion of the day of the Closing after the time of Closing, other than the transactions expressly contemplated hereby, Buyer will cause the Target Companies to carry on their business only in the ordinary course in the same manner as heretofore conducted and will not convert or otherwise change the form of any of the Target Companies under applicable state, local or foreign law. The Target Companies will elect with the relevant Taxing Authority to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period of the Target Companies. The parties agree that Buyer and its Affiliates and the Target Companies (x) will not make an election under Treasury Regulation §1.1502- 76(b)(2)(ii)(D) to ratably allocate items (or make any similar election or ratably allocate items under any corresponding or equivalent provision of state, local or foreign law) and (y) will not apply the “next day” rule of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) (or any corresponding or equivalent provision of state, local or foreign law) with respect to any of the Transaction Tax Deductions. (b) Books and Records; Cooperation. Without limiting Section 9.10, Buyer and Seller will, and will cause their respective representatives to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, and shall specifically (i) provide the other party and their representatives with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation and review of any Tax Return or any audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to any Target Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, including to make any Push-Out Elections, and (ii) retain and provide the other party and their representatives with reasonable access to all records or information that may be relevant to any Tax Proceeding. (c) Transfer Taxes. Buyer will pay, and will indemnify and hold Seller harmless against, any real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed on any Target Company or Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties, interest or additions to Tax with respect to the Transfer Taxes. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns. (d) [Reserved] 60 LEGAL02/39540989v11

(e) Post-Closing Tax Matters. Buyer will not cause or permit the Target Companies or any of their Affiliates to (i) file or amend or otherwise modify any Tax Return that relates in whole or in part to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than to file Tax Returns in accordance with Section 9.09(a)), (ii) make or change any election or accounting method or practice with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) voluntarily approach any Taxing Authority (including with respect to any voluntary disclosure agreement or similar process) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (iv) extend or waive the statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. (f) Straddle Period Allocation. To the extent it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the allocation of Taxes among a Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, payroll or sales of the Target Companies for the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass through entity in which any Target Company holds a beneficial interest will be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Target Companies for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. (g) Tax Proceedings. After the Closing, the Target Companies and Buyer will promptly notify Seller in writing upon receiving notice from any Taxing Authority of the commencement of any claim, audit, examination, or administrative or court proceeding relating to any audits or assessments or other disputes regarding any Taxes or any Tax Return filed by any of the Target Companies with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period if Seller would reasonably be expected to have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement with respect thereto (a “Tax Proceeding”). Seller may elect to control and assume the defense of all proceedings in connection with any Tax Proceeding; provided, that Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of the status of any such Tax Proceeding, defend any such Tax Proceeding as if it were the only party in interest with respect to such Tax Proceeding, and will not consent to the entry of any judgment, or settle, compromise or discharge any such Tax Proceeding, without the prior written consent of Buyer (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If Seller elects not to control such Tax Proceeding pursuant to the preceding sentence, Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed of the status of any such Tax Proceeding, defend any such Tax Proceeding as if it were the only party in interest with respect to such Tax Proceeding, and will not consent to the entry of any judgment, or settle, compromise or discharge any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Seller (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). (h) Tax Treatment; Allocation of Purchase Price. The parties agree to treat the acquisition of the Acquired Equity pursuant to this Agreement as a taxable purchase of assets (and assumption of applicable liabilities) for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes. The Purchase Price (and any adjustments thereto in accordance with this Agreement), the relevant portion of liabilities of the Target Companies and any other amounts treated as consideration deemed to be transferred by Seller will be allocated among the assets of 61 LEGAL02/39540989v11

each Target Company, as applicable, pursuant to Code Section 1060 and applicable Treasury Regulations in accordance with the allocation principles set forth on Schedule 9.09(h). None of the parties hereto, nor any of their respective Affiliates, will take any position (whether in financial statements, audits or litigation, Tax Returns or otherwise) which is inconsistent with the foregoing (including Schedule 9.09(h)) unless required to do so by a final “determination” within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a). Section 9.10 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto and at such requesting party’s expense, any other party will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by means of telecopied signature pages or electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf)), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument. Section 11.11 Governing Law.

Section 11.12 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. SUBJECT TO SECTION 1.02 (WHICH WILL GOVERN ANY DISPUTE ARISING THEREUNDER) AND SECTION 11.14 (WHICH WILL GOVERN ANY DISPUTE AFTER THE CLOSING NOT SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF), THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE COURTS LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE OR THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY RELATED AGREEMENT, CERTIFICATE OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH 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 RELATED AGREEMENT, CERTIFICATE OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, 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 84 LEGAL02/39540989v11

Section 11.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.13. Section 11.14 Arbitration of Disputes. (a) Except for disputes, controversies or claims arising under Section 1.02 (which will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth therein) or other claims seeking injunctive relief (for which the provisions of Section 11.12, Section 11.13 and Section 11.19 will be applicable), all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise), including the arbitrability of any dispute or controversy that cannot be settled by mutual agreement will be finally settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (“JAMS”), as follows: any party hereto aggrieved will deliver a notice to the other party setting forth the specific points in dispute. Any points remaining in dispute 20 days after the giving of such notice may, upon 10 days’ notice to the other party, be submitted to JAMS arbitration conducted before a panel of three arbitrators in Boston, Massachusetts. Buyer and Seller will each appoint one arbitrator (the “Party-Appointed Arbitrators”) and the Party-Appointed Arbitrators will appoint the third and presiding arbitrator within 14 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator; provided, that, any arbitrator not timely appointed herein will be appointed by JAMS upon the written demand of any party to the dispute. The arbitrators may enter a default decision against any party who fails to participate in the arbitration proceedings. (b) The decision of the arbitrators on the points in dispute will be final, unappealable and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrators will only be authorized to interpret the provisions of this Agreement, and will not amend, change or add to any such provisions. The parties hereto agree that this provision has been adopted by the parties to rapidly and inexpensively resolve any 85 LEGAL02/39540989v11

disputes between them and that this provision will be grounds for dismissal of any court action commenced by any party with respect to this Agreement (other than disputes, controversies or claims arising under Section 1.02 (which will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth therein) or other claims seeking injunctive relief (for which the provisions of Section 11.12, Section 11.13 and Section 11.19 will be applicable)). In the event that any court determines that this arbitration procedure is not binding, or otherwise allows any litigation regarding a dispute, claim, or controversy covered by this Agreement to proceed, the parties hereto hereby waive any and all right to a trial by jury in or with respect to such litigation. (c) The arbitrators will be authorized to apportion their fees and expenses as the arbitrators deem appropriate but the arbitrators will not be authorized to award the prevailing party its fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and each party will otherwise bear its own fees and expenses, including the fees of its own attorney. (d) The parties hereto and the arbitrators will keep confidential, and will not disclose to any person, except the parties’ advisors and legal representatives, or as may be required by Law, the existence of any controversy under this Section 11.14, the referral of any such controversy to arbitration or the status or resolution thereof. (e) The parties hereto may seek any interim or conservatory relief, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that if such court does not have jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, such action or proceeding will be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware state or federal court sitting in the City of Wilmington, Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. The application of a party to an above-mentioned judicial authority for such measures or for the implementation of any such measures ordered by an arbitral tribunal will not be deemed to be an infringement or a waiver of Section 11.14 and will not affect the relevant powers reserved to the arbitral tribunal. Section 11.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Certain provisions of this Agreement are intended for the benefit of Audax and the D&O Indemnified Persons. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and Audax and the D&O Indemnified Persons any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. Section 11.16 Representation of Seller and its Affiliates. Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Related Parties, that (a) one or more of the Target Companies and Seller (and its controlling Affiliate) have retained ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP to act as their counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as well as other past matters, (b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP have not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no Person other than the Target Companies and Seller (and their controlling Affiliate) has the status of a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP client for conflict of interest or any other purpose as a result thereof, and (c) following the Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may serve as counsel to Seller and its post-Closing Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any representation by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP 86 LEGAL02/39540989v11

prior to the Closing Date of any Target Company. Buyer and the Target Companies hereby (i) waive any claim they have or may have that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (ii) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer or any Target Company and Seller or any of their Affiliates, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may represent Seller or any of their Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Buyer or any Target Company and even though ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may have represented a Target Company or other Persons in a matter substantially related to such dispute and may be handling other ongoing matters for a Buyer Related Party, the Target Companies, or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Buyer represents that Buyer’s own attorney has explained and helped Buyer evaluate the implications and risks of waiving the right to assert a future conflict against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, and Buyer’s consent with respect to this waiver is fully informed. Buyer and the Target Companies also further agree that, as to all communications among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, on the one hand, and the Target Companies, and Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates and representatives, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Seller and may be controlled by Seller and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any Target Company. In addition, if the Closing occurs, all of the client files and records in the possession of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will continue to be property of (and be controlled by) Seller and no Target Company will retain any copies of such records or have any access to them. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer and the Target Companies, on behalf of themselves, their Affiliates, Subsidiaries and their respective current and future members, partners, equityholders, representatives and each of the successors and assigns of the foregoing (the “Waiving Parties”), hereby acknowledge and agree that all (x) emails and other communications prior to the Closing from or among any Seller Related Party, any Target Company, or any Affiliates, directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants or other representatives of any Seller Related Party or Target Company concerning, related to or in respect of the sale process, this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection with herewith or related hereto (including all prior drafts), the assets, Liabilities, operations, prospects and condition of any Target Company and their businesses solely as it relates to the sale process of the Target Companies and the negotiation of this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements (whether or not such email or other communication is entitled to any attorney-client or other privilege) and (y) documents or materials created prior to Closing by or on behalf of any Seller Related Party or any Target Company in connection with, in preparation for, related to or arising out of the sale process, any prior sale processes, this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection herewith or related hereto (including all prior drafts) and the subject matter hereof and thereof, or any dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to, the sale process, this Agreement, any agreement entered into in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated hereby or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, will be exclusively owned and controlled by Seller and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, any Target Company and from and after the Closing none of Buyer, the Target Companies or any other Person purporting to act on behalf thereof or any of the Waiving Parties will seek to access, obtain, use, rely on or otherwise disclose the same, without in each case first obtaining Seller’s consent, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion, except in the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement or the other Ancillary Agreements. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that it would be impractical to remove all such emails and communications from the records (including emails and other 87 LEGAL02/39540989v11

electronic files) of any Target Company and that any possession of Buyer of any of the foregoing will not affect or alter the ownership of such emails and communications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer or any Target Company and a third party other than a party to this Agreement (or an Affiliate thereof) after the Closing, the Target Companies may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP to such third party; provided, however, that no Target Company may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller. Section 11.17 No Additional Representations; Disclaimer; Non-Recourse. (a) Buyer acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, Liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Target Companies, and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and verification and the representations and warranties of Seller and the Target Companies expressly and specifically set forth in Article III and Article IV, respectively, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules. The representations and warranties of Seller and the Target Companies expressly and specifically set forth in Article III and Article IV, respectively, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, and in the Ancillary Agreements, constitute the sole and exclusive representations, warranties, and statements of any kind of Seller and the Target Companies to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Buyer understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations, warranties, and statements of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, prospects, assets or Liabilities of the Target Companies, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Target Companies assets) are specifically disclaimed by the Target Companies and Seller. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein. The parties have agreed that should any representations and warranties of any party prove untrue, the other party will have the specific rights and remedies herein specified as the exclusive remedy therefor, but that no other rights, remedies or causes of action (whether in law or in equity or whether in contract or in tort) are permitted to any party hereto as a result of the untruth of any such representation and warranty. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III OR ARTICLE IV OR IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, NEITHER SELLER NOR THE TARGET COMPANIES MAKE OR PROVIDE, AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVES, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO SAMPLES, OR CONDITION OF THE TARGET COMPANIES’ ASSETS OR ANY PART THEREOF. BUYER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND THE TARGET COMPANIES EXPRESSLY AND SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III AND ARTICLE IV, RESPECTIVELY, AS QUALIFIED BY THE DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES, AND IN THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, (X) BUYER IS ACQUIRING THE TARGET COMPANIES ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS AND (Y) NEITHER SELLER NOR THE TARGET COMPANIES OR ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING, ANY STOCKHOLDER, MEMBER, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER IN ANY INDIVIDUAL, CORPORATE OR ANY OTHER CAPACITY) IS MAKING, AND BUYER IS NOT RELYING ON, ANY 88 LEGAL02/39540989v11

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR OTHER STATEMENTS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO ANY MATTER CONCERNING THE TARGET COMPANIES, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED TO (OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED BY) BUYER OR ANY OF BUYER’S REPRESENTATIVES. (b) This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or suit based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the named parties to this Agreement and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to the named parties in this Agreement. No Person who is not a named party to this Agreement, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Target Companies, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, will have or be subject to any Liability or indemnification obligation (whether in contract or in tort) to Buyer or any other Person resulting from (nor will Buyer have any claim with respect to) (i) the distribution to Buyer, or Buyer’s use of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Buyer in certain “data rooms,” confidential information memoranda or management presentations in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the sale and purchase of the Target Companies, including any alleged non-disclosure or misrepresentations made by any such Persons, in each case, regardless of the legal theory under which such Liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at Law or in equity, or otherwise; and each party hereto waives and releases all such Liabilities and obligations against any such Persons. (c) In connection with the investigation by Buyer of the Target Companies, Buyer has received or may receive from the Target Companies certain projections, forward- looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information. Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and that Buyer will have no claim against anyone with respect thereto. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that, except to the extent expressly set forth in Article III or Article IV or in any Ancillary Agreement, neither the Target Companies, Seller, nor any member, officer, director, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, make any representation, warranty, or other statement with respect to, and Buyer is not relying on, such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and Buyer agrees that it has not relied thereon. Section 11.18 Conflict Between Transaction Documents. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way 89 LEGAL02/39540989v11

inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, this Agreement will govern and control. Section 11.19 Specific Performance; Other Remedies. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Target Companies, Seller and Buyer would suffer irreparable damage prior to a termination in the event that the Closing is not consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Buyer, on the one hand, or by Seller or the Target Companies, on the other hand, of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller and the Target Companies, on the other hand, will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller and the Target Companies, on the other hand, and to specifically enforce the terms and provision of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of Buyer, on the one hand, and of Seller and the Target Companies, on the other hand, under this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at Law or in equity, including the parties’ right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and to seek money damages. If, in order to obtain such injunction or injunctions, monetary damages or other remedy, the non-breaching party commences a legal proceeding that results in a judgment in favor of such party, the other party will pay the non-breaching party’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such legal proceeding. Each party hereby agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by such party. Each party hereby waives (i) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. (b) If Seller or the Target Companies have been granted an award of damages following the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Buyer agrees such damages may include consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages, damages for the benefit of the bargain lost by Seller and the Target Companies (taking into consideration relevant matters, including the opportunities forgone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the time value of money), and diminution in value of the Target Companies and the reimbursement of the Target Companies’ and Seller’s reasonable and documented out- of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses). Section 11.20 Consents. Buyer acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to Contracts, leases, licenses or other agreements to which any Target Company is a party (including the consents under the Contracts set forth on Schedule 4.05(a) and Schedule 4.15(b)) and such consents have not been obtained. Prior to the Closing, to the extent requested by Buyer, Seller and the Target Companies will use their commercially reasonable efforts to (a) give any notice to any Person and (b) obtain any consent or waiver from any Person, in each case, that is required in connection with the 90 LEGAL02/39540989v11

transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller will provide Buyer a reasonable opportunity to review any communications to be delivered pursuant to this Section 11.20 and will reasonably cooperate with Buyer to incorporate any comments proposed by Buyer with respect thereto. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that Seller will have no Liability whatsoever to Buyer (and Buyer will not be entitled to assert any claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents under the Contracts set forth on Schedule 4.05(a) or Schedule 4.15(b) that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration or termination of any such Contract, lease, license or other agreement as a result thereof. Buyer further agrees that no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller or the Target Companies contained herein will be breached or deemed breached and no condition of Buyer will be deemed not to be satisfied as a result of the failure to obtain any consents under the Contracts set forth on Schedule 4.05(a) or Schedule 4.15(b) or as a result of any such default, acceleration or termination or any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent or any such default, acceleration or termination. Section 11.21 Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument will raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity. Section 11.22 Buyer Deliveries. Any document or item will be deemed “delivered”, “provided” or “made available” within the meaning of this Agreement if such document or item was posted to the electronic datasite with the project name “Virtual Lightning Room” maintained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ DatasiteOne in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a) in the case of materials required to be made available on or prior to the date hereof, on or before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the date of this Agreement or (b) in the case of materials required to be made available on or prior to the Closing Date, on or before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the Closing Date. Section 11.23 Guarantor. (a) Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Seller the due, full and prompt observance, performance, discharge, and payment by Buyer of all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement. This is an unconditional guarantee of payment and not only of collection. Guarantor waives (i) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of performance, demand of payment, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against Buyer, protest, notice of any kind (including notices of acceptance hereof, dishonor, protest, and of defaults hereunder), (ii) all demands whatsoever, (iii) all defenses which may be 91 LEGAL02/39540989v11

available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium, law, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, (iv) any right to require the marshalling of the assets of Buyer or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to Buyer’s obligations hereunder or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (v) all suretyship defenses generally in connection with the performance of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement. (b) Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure or delay of Seller to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Buyer or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to Buyer’s obligations hereunder or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any change in the time, place, or manner of payment or performance of any of Buyer’s obligations hereunder or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation, or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement; (iii) the addition, substitution, or release of any entity or other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of Buyer or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to Buyer’s obligations hereunder or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (v) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting Buyer or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to Buyer’s obligations hereunder or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (vi) the adequacy of any means Seller may have of obtaining payment of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; (vii) the existence of any claim (except in the case of finally determined claims), set- off or other right that Guarantor may have at any time against Buyer or Seller, whether in connection with any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or otherwise; or (viii) any other act or omission that may in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than as a result of payment or performance of all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). (c) Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Seller that: (i) it has all requisite corporate or other power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of Guarantor’s organizational documents or any applicable law, decree, order, judgment, or contractual restriction binding on Guarantor or its assets, and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor; (ii) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to (A) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (B) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); (iii) all consents, approvals, authorizations, permits of, filings with, and notifications to, any Governmental Body or any other Person necessary for the due execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by it have been obtained or made and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Body or any other Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement; and (iv) Guarantor has the financial capacity to pay and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, and all funds necessary for Guarantor to 92 LEGAL02/39540989v11

fulfill such obligations shall be available to Guarantor for so long as its obligations under this Section 11.23 shall remain in effect. (d) This Section 11.23 and Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall terminate upon the Closing and the payment of all amounts required to be funded pursuant to Section 1.01 and Section 2.03. * * * * * 93 LEGAL02/39540989v11
