SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 14, 2023 is made by and among Novanta Corporation, a Michigan corporation (the “Purchaser”), Motion Solutions Parent Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Motion Solutions Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article 11.

RECITALS

A. As of the date hereof, the Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding Interests.

B. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser desires to purchase from the Seller, and the Seller desires to sell to the Purchaser, all of the issued and outstanding Interests.

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

Article 1
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE INTERESTS

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Interests. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from the Seller, all of the Interests, free and clear of all Liens, in exchange for the aggregate payment of the Estimated Purchase Price.

1.2 Purchase Price.

(a) The “Purchase Price” means an amount equal to (i) the Base Purchase Price, plus (ii) the amount by which Closing Net Working Capital exceeds Target Net Working Capital, if any, minus (iii) the amount by which Target Net Working Capital exceeds Closing Net Working Capital, if any, plus (iv) the amount of Closing Cash, minus (v) the outstanding amount of Closing Indebtedness, minus (vi) the amount of Closing Transaction Expenses, minus (vii) the Adjustment Escrow Amount.

(b) No later than two Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall have delivered to the Purchaser (i) the Company’s good faith estimate of (A) the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (B) the Closing Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), (C) the Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), (D) the Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”) and (E) the Estimated Purchase Price (such statement, the “Estimated Closing Statement”) and (ii) such reasonable documentation (including supporting calculations and schedules) used by the Company in connection with the preparation of Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Transaction Expenses and Estimated Purchase Price. “Estimated Purchase Price” means an amount equal to (1) the Base Purchase Price, plus (2) the amount by which Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds Target Net Working Capital, minus (3) the amount by which Target Net Working Capital exceeds Closing Net Working Capital, plus (4) the amount of Estimated Cash, minus (5) the amount of Estimated Indebtedness, minus (6) the amount of Estimated Transaction Expenses, minus (7) the Adjustment Escrow Amount. The Seller and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments to the Estimated Closing Statement delivered by the Purchaser in good faith prior to the Closing Date.

1.3 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely by exchange of electronic signature pages on the second Business Day following full satisfaction or waiver of all of the closing conditions set forth in Article 2 (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction of those conditions at the Closing) or on such other date as is mutually agreeable to the Purchaser and the Seller; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not be obligated to effect the Closing prior to January 2, 2024. The date and time of the Closing are referred to herein as the “Closing Date”, and the Closing will be deemed to have occurred as of 12:01 A.M. Pacific Time on the Closing Date.

1.4 The Closing Transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto shall consummate the following transactions (the “Closing Transactions”) on the Closing Date:

(a) the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser evidence of assignment of the Interests to the Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens;

(b) the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Seller the Estimated Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Seller (which account(s) and the amounts payable to the Seller with respect to each Interest shall be designated by the Seller to the Purchaser in writing at least two Business Days before the Closing Date);

(c) the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser appropriate payoff letters from the holders of Indebtedness set forth on Schedule 1.4(c) (the “Payoff Letters”) (which Payoff Letters shall be delivered at least three Business Days before the Closing Date in form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, and each of which shall (i) specify all amounts of Indebtedness owed to such holder, as well as any other amounts required to fully pay off all such Indebtedness on the Closing Date, and (ii) agreeing that, upon such holder’s receipt of the applicable payoff amount, (A) all outstanding obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries arising under or related to the applicable Indebtedness shall be repaid and discharged in full and (B) any Liens such lender or holder may have in connection therewith shall automatically be released and terminated in full) and shall make customary arrangements for such holders of Indebtedness to deliver all evidence of related Lien releases to the Purchaser as soon as practicable after the Closing;

(d) the Purchaser shall repay, or cause to be repaid, on behalf of the Company, all amounts necessary to discharge fully the then outstanding balance of all Indebtedness set forth on Schedule 1.4(d), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated in the Payoff Letters;

(e) the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Adjustment Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Agent;

(f) the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company, all amounts necessary to discharge fully the then outstanding balance of all Estimated Transaction Expenses, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the account(s) designated by each Person to whom such Estimated Transaction Expenses are to be paid; provided that any amounts treated as wages for income Tax purposes shall be paid to the Company or its applicable Subsidiary, which shall pay such amounts, less any applicable withholding Taxes, to such recipients through its payroll system on the Closing Date; and

(g) the Purchaser and the Seller shall make such other deliveries as are required by Article 2.

1.5 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) As promptly as possible, but in any event within 45 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will deliver to the Seller a statement showing the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses and a calculation of the Purchase Price (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”). The Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses shall each be determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement and the Agreed Accounting Principles. The parties agree that the purpose of determining the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and the related purchase price adjustments contemplated by this Section 1.5(a) is to measure changes in Closing Net Working Capital and the levels of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses, and, to the extent prepared in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement and the Agreed Accounting Principles, such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of determining the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness or Closing Transaction Expenses. After delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Purchaser shall give the Seller and its representatives reasonable access to review the Purchaser’s and the Company’s books and records and work papers related to the preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement. The Seller and its representatives may make inquiries of the Purchaser, the Company and their respective accountants regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Preliminary Closing Statement arising in the course of its review thereof, and the Purchaser shall use its, and shall cause the Company to use its, commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such accountants to respond to such inquiries. If the Seller has any objections to the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”). If the Purchaser fails to timely deliver the Preliminary Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 1.5(a), then the Seller may, in its sole discretion, (i) deem the Estimated Closing Statement to be the final and binding statement of the calculation of the Purchase Price or (ii) deem that the Estimated Closing Statement is the Preliminary Closing Statement and deliver an Objection Statement with respect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.5(a). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to the Purchaser within 30 days after delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Preliminary Closing Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto; provided that, in the event the Purchaser or the Company does not provide any papers or documents reasonably requested by the Seller or any of its representatives within five days of request therefor (or such shorter period as may remain in such 30-day period), such 30-day period will be extended by one day for each additional day required for the Purchaser or Company to fully respond to such request. The Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections, but if they do not reach a final resolution within 30 days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, the Seller and the Purchaser shall submit such dispute to ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or such other mutually acceptable dispute resolution firm (the “Dispute Resolution Firm”). Any submissions to the Dispute Resolution Firm must be written and delivered to each party to the dispute. The Dispute Resolution Firm shall consider only those items and amounts which are identified in the Objections Statement and which are not resolved in writing by the Seller and the Purchaser prior to submission to the Dispute Resolution Firm. The Dispute Resolution Firm’s determination will be based solely on the provisions of this Section 1.5(a), the Agreed Accounting Principles and the definitions of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and the Purchase Price, as applicable, contained herein. The Seller and the Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Dispute Resolution Firm to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable and in any event within 45 days after the submission of any dispute. The Dispute Resolution Firm shall act as an expert, not arbitrator. Further, the Dispute Resolution Firm’s determination shall be based solely on the presentations by the Purchaser and the Seller which are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The resolution of the dispute by the Dispute Resolution Firm shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties

hereto, absent manifest mathematical error. The costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Firm shall 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 Dispute Resolution Firm. For example, if the Seller submits an Objections Statement for $1,000, and if the Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Seller, and if the Dispute Resolution Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Seller $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300/500) to the Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to the Seller. The Preliminary Closing Statement shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 1.5, and, as so revised, such Preliminary Closing Statement shall be deemed to set forth the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and the Purchase Price, in each case, for all purposes hereunder.

(b) Payment of the Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) If the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.5(a) is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall promptly pay to the Seller the amount of such excess.

(ii) If the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.5(a) is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, the Seller and the Purchaser shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall to the Purchaser from the Adjustment Escrow Funds.

The Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within three Business Days) deliver to the Seller any amounts determined pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) to be due by the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Seller. The Seller and the Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within three Business Days) deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay from the Adjustment Escrow Funds, to an account or accounts designated by the Purchaser an amount equal to any amounts determined pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) to be due by the Seller to the Purchaser. The Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be the Purchaser’s sole recourse with respect to, and the exclusive source of funds for, any payments required to be made by the Seller pursuant to this Section 1.5(b). Immediately following payment of any amounts determined pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) to be owing to the Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to the Seller all remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds to an account or accounts designated by the Seller, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(c) The Purchaser and the Seller agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 1.5 for resolving disputes with respect to the Preliminary Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that this provision shall not prohibit either party from instituting litigation to enforce any final determination of the Purchase Price by the Dispute Resolution Firm pursuant to Section 1.5(a) in any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 12.18. It is the intent of the parties to have any final determination of the Purchase Price by the Dispute Resolution Firm proceed in an expeditious manner; provided, however, any deadline or time period contained herein may be extended or modified by the written agreement of the Seller and the Purchaser, and the Seller and the Purchaser agree that the failure of the Dispute Resolution Firm to strictly conform to any deadline or time period contained herein shall not be a basis for seeking to overturn any determination rendered by the Dispute Resolution Firm which otherwise conforms to the terms of this Section 1.5.

1.6 Withholding. The Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Taxes that are required to be deducted and withheld with

respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, as applicable. Before making any such deduction or withholding, and except with respect to any deduction or withholding required with respect to compensatory amounts or resulting from any failure to provide an IRS Form W-9 pursuant to Section 2.1(h), the Purchaser shall provide the Seller with commercially reasonable notice of such deduction or withholding that is proposed to be made, and the Purchaser shall cooperate with any reasonable request from the Seller to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted and timely paid to the appropriate Tax authority, such amounts shall 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.

3.1 Organization, Qualification and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the property and assets owned, leased or operated by it, or the nature of the business as presently conducted by it, makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions (other than the jurisdiction of its formation, organization, or incorporation, as applicable) where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Governing Documents of the Company are in full force and effect, and the Company is not in material breach or violation of any provision contained in its Governing Documents. Complete and correct copies of the Governing Documents of the Company, as amended and in effect as of the date of this Agreement, have been provided to the Purchaser. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to (a) own, lease and operate its assets and properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) enter into this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which it is or will be a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

3.2 Subsidiaries. The capitalization of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries as of the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 3.2, which schedule sets forth, with respect to each such Subsidiary, (i) its name and its jurisdiction and form of organization, (ii) its authorized, issued and outstanding Capital Stock, and (iii) the number and percentage of shares of its outstanding Capital Stock held by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3.2, the Company does not own or hold the right to acquire any stock, partnership interest or joint venture interest or other equity ownership interest in any other corporation, organization or entity. Each of the Company’s Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization. Each of the Company’s Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the property and assets owned, leased or operated by it, or the nature of the business conducted by it, makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions (other than the jurisdiction of its formation, organization, or incorporation, as applicable) where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, taken as a whole. The Governing Documents of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries are in full force and effect, and none of the Company’s Subsidiaries is in material breach or violation of any provision contained in its Governing Documents.

There are no pending or threatened in writing or, to the Company’s knowledge, orally, investigations, claims, suits, grievances or other proceedings, and there are not facts that could reasonably give rise thereto, involving, directly or indirectly, any Plan, or any rights or benefits thereby (other than routine claims for benefits) by, on behalf of or against any of the Plans or any trusts related thereto.

(j) All nonqualified deferred compensation plans (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) of the Company are in material compliance with Section 409A of the Code and neither the Plans nor this transaction will cause a participant in such Plans to be subject to the Tax imposed by Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B).

5.5 Litigation. There are no Actions pending or, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser at law or in equity, or before or by Governmental Authority, which would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse affect on the Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Closing.

Article 6
COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND THE SELLER

6.1 Conduct of the Business.

(a) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, except as otherwise expressly provided for by this Agreement, required by Law or consented to in writing by the Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Seller and the Company shall, and shall cause the Company’s Subsidiaries to, (i) conduct the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries in the Ordinary Course of Business, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve present relationships and goodwill with suppliers, customers, landlords, employees, agents and other Persons, in each case having business dealings with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a cash balance such that the Company’s Closing Cash remains greater than or equal to the Required Operating Cash amount, which cash shall be held in the Company’s main checking account as of Closing; provided that, the foregoing notwithstanding, the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries may use up to all available cash to repay any Closing Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness prior to the Closing, for distributions or dividends or for any other purpose, but only to the extent that the Company’s Closing Cash remains greater than or equal to the Required Operating Cash amount.

(b) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, except as otherwise expressly provided for by this Agreement, required by Law or consented to in writing by the Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, intentionally take any action which, if taken after the date of the Latest Balance Sheet and prior to the date hereof, would have been required to be disclosed on Schedule 3.6 pursuant to Section 3.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.1(b), the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ failure to take any action prohibited by this Section 6.1(b) will not be a breach of Section 6.1(a).

6.2 Access to Books and Records. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, to the extent permitted by Law, the Company shall provide the Purchaser and its authorized representatives (the “Purchaser’s Representatives”) with reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to the offices, properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries in order for the Purchaser to have the opportunity to make such investigation as it shall reasonably desire; provided, however, that (i) such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries and shall not extend to any sampling or analysis of soil, groundwater, building materials or other environmental media of the sort generally referred to as a Phase II environmental investigation, and (ii) the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information the disclosure of which would, in the Company’s reasonable discretion, waive any privilege, violate any Law or breach any duty of confidentiality owed to any Person. The Purchaser acknowledges that it remains bound by the Confidentiality Agreement, between Novanta, Inc. and the Seller dated September 16, 2023 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and that all information it obtains as a result of access under this Section 6.2 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. The provision of any information pursuant to this Agreement by or on behalf of the Company shall not expand the remedies available hereunder to the Purchaser or its Affiliates under this Agreement in any manner.

6.3 Regulatory Filings.

(a) The Seller and the Company shall, as promptly as practicable (and, in the case of any filing pursuant to the HSR Act, no later than November 22, 2023), make or cause to be made all filings and submissions under any Laws applicable to the Seller the Company and its Subsidiaries for the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (which filing under the HSR Act shall specifically request early termination of the waiting period prescribed by the HSR Act, if available). The Seller and the Company agree to use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to expeditiously consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to make all necessary government filings required of it, provide any information

required for and cooperate with the Purchaser to make all regulatory filings contemplated in Section 7.4, respond to government requests for information, and otherwise obtain all necessary governmental, judicial or regulatory actions or non-actions, orders, waivers, consents, clearances, extensions and approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) In furtherance of Section 6.3(a), the Seller and the Company shall (i) respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries or requests received from any Governmental Authority for additional information or documentation and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause any applicable waiting periods or other requirements under the HSR Act and all other applicable antitrust and competition Laws to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date (including, if applicable, with respect to filings under the HSR Act, seeking “early termination” of the waiting period under the HSR Act, if available). The Seller and the Company shall (A) promptly notify the Purchaser of any written communication to the Seller, the Company or any of their Affiliates from any Governmental Authority and, subject to applicable Law and reasonable confidentiality considerations, permit the Purchaser to review in advance any proposed written communication to any of the foregoing (and consider in good faith the views of the Purchaser in connection therewith), (B) not agree to participate, or to permit its Affiliates to participate, in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement unless the Seller or the Company consults with the Purchaser in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the Purchaser the opportunity to attend and participate thereat and (C) furnish the Purchaser with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between the Seller, the Company and their Affiliates and each of their respective representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority and/or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement. The Seller and the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall fully coordinate their efforts and cooperate with regard to any inquiries or requests by a Governmental Authority. In fulfilling their obligations hereunder, to the extent reasonably required by privilege or confidentiality considerations, the parties may limit communications hereunder to the other parties’ outside counsel only.

6.4 Conditions. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 2.1 to be satisfied and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein as soon as reasonably possible after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 2 (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction of those conditions).

6.5 Exclusive Dealing. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, the Seller and the Company shall not take, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents to: (i) solicit, initiate discussions or engage in negotiations with any Person (whether such negotiations are initiated by the Seller, the Company, an Affiliate, a third party or otherwise), other than the Purchaser or its Affiliates, relating to the possible acquisition of any material portion of the equity or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether by way of merger, purchase of equity, purchase of assets, loan or otherwise) (an “Acquisition Transaction”); (ii) provide non-public information or documentation with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person, other than the Purchaser or its Affiliates or its or their representatives, relating to an Acquisition Transaction; or (iii) enter into any definitive agreement with any Person, other than Purchaser or its Affiliates effecting an Acquisition Transaction. Immediately up execution of this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause its representatives to (x) terminate any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person other than Purchaser or its Affiliates regarding an Acquisition Transaction, and (y) request that each Person to which the Company has provided

confidential information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries and has afforded access to, and engaged in discussions with, in connection with a proposed Acquisition Transaction, promptly return and/or destroy any such information in accordance with the terms of the non-disclosure agreement such Person entered into with the Company. The Seller and the Company further agree to promptly notify the Purchaser of the receipt of any oral or written offer, indication of interest, proposal, or inquiry relating to an Acquisition Transaction.

6.6 Further Actions. The Company shall take the actions set forth on Schedule 6.6.

6.7 Section 280G. If any individual may receive any payment or benefit that individually or in the aggregate would be a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code in connection with the Transaction (either alone or in combination with any other event relating to the Closing), then prior to the Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain an enforceable written waiver from each such individual, pursuant to which the individual shall have irrevocably waived his or her rights to some or all of such payments and benefits so that all remaining such payments and benefits applicable to such individual shall not individually or in the aggregate constitute a “parachute payment” (such waived payments and benefits, the “Waived 280G Benefits”). Promptly following the execution of such waivers, and prior to the Closing, the Company shall solicit a vote of the Waived 280G Benefits from its stockholders in the manner provided under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and its associated Treasury Regulations; provided, that in the event the Closing occurs prior to the completion of such solicitation process, such solicitation process shall be permitted to be completed within a reasonable period of time following the Closing such that eligible shareholders of the Company shall be entitled to submit a vote with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits within such reasonable period of time following the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the occurrence of the Closing prior to the completion of such solicitation process or the completion of the solicitation process within a reasonable period of time following the Closing constitute a breach by the Company of the covenant contained in this Section 6.7. To the extent that any of the Waived 280G Benefits are not approved by the stockholders as contemplated above such Waived 280G Benefits shall not be made or provided in any manner. Following the completion of the solicitation process as contemplated above, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser evidence that a vote of the stockholders was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7 and that either (A) the requisite number of votes was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits (the “280G Approval”), or (B) the 280G Approval was not obtained, and, as a consequence, the Waived 280G Benefits shall not be made or provided.

7.1 Access to Books and Records. From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to, provide the Seller and its authorized representatives with reasonable access (for the purpose of examining and copying), during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with any reasonable request related to a period prior to the Closing; provided, however, that (i) such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information the disclosure of which would, in the Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, waive any privilege, violate any Law or breach any duty of confidentiality of any Person. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Seller, the Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to, for a period of seven years following the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records of the Company or

any of its Subsidiaries for any period prior to the Closing Date without first giving reasonable prior notice to the Seller and offering to surrender to the Seller such books and records or any portion thereof which the Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may intend to destroy, alter or dispose of.

7.2 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six years after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, amend, repeal or modify any indemnification or exculpation provision in the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ articles of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or other similar governing documents as in effect immediately prior to the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, on or prior to the Closing, were directors, officers, managers, employees or holders of equity interests of the Company or its Subsidiaries (each, a “D&O Indemnitee”), unless required by applicable Law; provided, however, that with respect to any claim for indemnification by any Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Article 9 of this Agreement (the “Agreement Claims”), the D&O Indemnitees shall not be entitled to make any claim for indemnification for the Agreement Claims against any of the Purchaser, the Company, or any of their Subsidiaries or their Affiliates, by reason of the fact that such person was an employee, agent, manager, director and/or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) At the Closing, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, obtain, maintain and fully pay for irrevocable “tail” insurance policies naming all D&O Indemnitees 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 Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date. For a period lasting from the date of this Agreement to the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to, cancel or change such insurance policies in any respect.

(c) If the Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with, merge into or amalgamate with any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation, merger or amalgamation or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Purchaser and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.2. The provisions of this Section 7.2 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each and every current and former officer and director of the Company and its Subsidiaries and his or her heirs and representatives, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have had by contract or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall survive for a period of six years following the consummation of the Closing.

7.3 Employment and Benefit Arrangements.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to honor all employment, severance, termination, consulting, individual retirement, deferred compensation, retention, and other incentive compensation arrangements and agreements (including the Plans) set forth on Schedule 3.12(a) to which the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to the employees or other individual service providers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as such arrangements and agreements are in effect on the Closing Date (it being understood that this Section 7.3 shall not be deemed to prohibit the Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from amending, modifying, replacing or terminating such arrangements and agreements in accordance with their terms). The Purchaser shall take all actions required so that Continuing Employees shall receive credit

for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries or their predecessors earned prior to the Closing Date for all purposes under all benefit and compensation plans, programs, policies, agreements, and arrangements maintained by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which the Continuing Employees (and/or their dependents) may become eligible to participate following the Closing Date, including, as applicable, the Plans (the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”), provided that no such service credit shall result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service. The Purchaser and its Affiliates shall waive or cause to be waived all waiting periods, pre-existing conditions or actively-at-work requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees or their dependents under the Purchaser Benefit Plans and shall take commercially reasonable efforts to give Continuing Employees credit under the Purchaser Benefit Plans that are group health plans for deductibles, co-insurance and out-of-pocket payments that have been incurred under the Plans that are group health plans during the plan year in which such Continuing Employees begin participating in the Purchaser Benefit Plans that are group health plans. For the twelve month period following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall take all actions so that each Continuing Employee who continues to be employed by the Purchaser or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) receives base compensation and bonus opportunities that are no less favorable than the base compensation and bonus opportunities provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, as set forth on Schedule 3.17(a), (ii) receives benefits that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to those benefits provided to or available to such Continuing Employee under the Plans set forth on Schedule 3.12(a) as in effect on the date hereof (excluding severance benefits, equity or equity-related incentives, retention, change in control, transaction or similar bonuses and arrangements, defined benefit pension, retiree health or welfare benefits, non-qualified retirement benefits, and non-qualified deferred compensation), and (iii) to the extent that any such Continuing Employee is terminated for other than “cause”, receives severance pay and benefits that are no less than the severance pay and benefits that would be payable to a similarly situated employee of the Purchaser under the Purchaser’s severance program or policy or other applicable plan or agreement in effect as of the date of termination.

(b) For a period of 90 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall not, and shall not allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, terminate employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in such numbers as would trigger any liability under the WARN Act or similar legislation. The Purchaser shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with any and all applicable notice or filing requirements under the WARN Act or similar legislation. The Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any obligations arising under Section 4980B of the Code with respect to all “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as defined in Treasury Regulation §54.4980B-9.

(c) Nothing in this Section 7.3 (whether express or implied) shall (i) be considered or deemed to establish, amend, or modify any Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, arrangement, or contract or (ii) confer any rights or benefits (including any third-party beneficiary rights) on any Person other than the parties to this Agreement.

(d) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have taken the necessary steps to (i) amend the Bearing Engineers, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan to permit that loan notes be transferred or directly rolled over to another plan that will accept the transfer or rollover of the note upon termination of such Plan, and (ii) terminate, or to cause its Subsidiaries to terminate, the Bearing Engineers, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan, which termination shall provide that all affected participants in such plan shall be fully vested in their account balances under such plan.

7.4 Regulatory Filings.

(a) The Purchaser shall, as promptly as practicable (and, in the case of any filing pursuant to the HSR Act no later than November 22, 2023), make or cause to be made all filings and submissions required of the Purchaser under any Laws applicable to the Purchaser for the consummation

of the transactions contemplated herein (which filing under the HSR Act shall specifically request early termination of the waiting period prescribed by the HSR Act, if available).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates be required to (i) consent to any divestitures or licenses of assets, supply or exchange agreements, or hold separate agreements, or (ii) avoid, resist, resolve or defend any suit or other action threatened or instituted by any Governmental Authority or other entity challenging the validity or legality, or seeking to restrain the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser shall be responsible for all filing fees under the HSR Act and under any such other laws or regulations applicable to the Purchaser.

(b) In furtherance of Section 7.4(a), the Purchaser shall (i) respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries or requests received from any Governmental Authority for additional information or documentation and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause any applicable waiting periods or other requirements under the HSR Act and all other applicable antitrust and competition Laws to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date (including, if applicable, with respect to filings under the HSR Act, seeking “early termination” of the waiting period under the HSR Act, if available). The Purchaser shall (A) promptly notify the Seller of any written communication to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from any Governmental Authority and, subject to applicable Law and reasonable confidentiality considerations, permit the Seller to review in advance any proposed written communication to any of the foregoing (and consider in good faith the views of the Seller in connection therewith), (B) not agree to participate, or to permit its Affiliates to participate, in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement unless the Purchaser consults with the Seller in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the Seller the opportunity to attend and participate thereat and (C) furnish the Seller with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between the Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority and/or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement. The Seller and the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall fully coordinate their efforts and cooperate with regard to any inquiries or requests by a Governmental Authority. In fulfilling their obligations hereunder, to the extent reasonably required by privilege or confidentiality considerations, the parties may limit communications hereunder to the other parties’ outside counsel only.

7.5 Conditions. The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 to be satisfied and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein as soon as reasonably possible after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 2 (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction of those conditions).

From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s Representatives may not, without the prior written consent of the Company, contact or communicate with any of the employees, customers, suppliers or other business relations of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Article 8
TERMINATION

8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Purchaser and the Seller;

(b) by the Purchaser, if there has been a violation or breach by the Company or the Seller of any covenant, representation or warranty of the Company or the Seller contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company or the Seller is untrue, such that a condition to the Purchaser’s obligation to close under Section 2.1 would not be satisfied, and such condition to close has not been waived by the Purchaser or cured by the Company or the Seller prior to the earlier of (i) ten Business Days after receipt by the Seller of written notice thereof from the Purchaser or (ii) the Outside Date; provided, that the Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) if the Purchaser is then in violation or breach of any of its covenants, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, and such violation or breach would be the primary cause of a condition set forth in Section 2.2 to not be satisfied;

(c) by the Seller, if there has been a violation or breach by the Purchaser of any covenant, representation or warranty of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Purchaser is untrue, such that a condition to the Company’s and the Seller’s obligation to close under Section 2.2 would not be satisfied, and such condition to close has not been waived by the Seller or cured by the Purchaser prior to the earlier of (i) ten Business Days after receipt by the Purchaser of written notice thereof from the Seller or (ii) the Outside Date; provided, that the Seller shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if either the Seller or the Company is then in violation or breach of any of its covenants, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, and such violation or breach would be the primary cause of a condition set forth in Section 2.1 to not be satisfied;

(d) by the Purchaser, if the transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated on or before March 14, 2024 (the “Outside Date”); provided that the Purchaser shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if the Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement is the primary cause of the failure to consummate the Closing by the Outside Date; or

(e) by the Seller, if the transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated on or before Outside Date; provided that the Seller shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if the Company’s or the Seller’s breach of this Agreement is the primary cause of the failure to consummate the Closing by the Outside Date.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 8.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other parties hereto.

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated by either the Purchaser or the Seller as provided pursuant to Section 8.1, the provisions of this Agreement shall immediately become void and of no further force and effect (other than the second sentence of Section 6.2, this Section 8.2 and Article 12 hereof which shall survive the termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of either the Purchaser and the Company, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, to one another, except for knowing and willful breaches of the provisions of this Agreement prior to the time of such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, any breach by the Purchaser of Section 5.8 or the failure by the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement if it is obligated to do so hereunder will be considered a knowing and willful breach of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Article 8 will be deemed to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by another party of its obligations under this Agreement. In the event of the termination of this Agreement by either the Purchaser or the Seller as provided pursuant to Section 8.1, the Confidentiality Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of three years following the date of such termination (and, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, the Confidentiality Agreement term will be automatically amended to be extended for such additional three-year period).

(e) any matters set forth on Schedule 9.1(e).

9.2 Indemnification Obligations of the Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Article 9, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, managers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants and other advisors, agents, and representatives, and their respective successors and assigns (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses arising out of, based upon or resulting from:

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and

(b) any breach of, or failure to comply with or perform, any covenant, obligation or agreement of the Purchaser or its Affiliates contained in this Agreement or in or pursuant to any other Transaction Document to which they are a party.

9.3 Indemnification Claims.

(a) Any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any claim asserted against the Indemnified Party by a third party (“Third-Party Claim”) in respect of any matter that is subject to indemnification under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as applicable, shall (i) promptly notify the Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), of the Third-Party Claim, and (ii) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 30 days of obtaining knowledge of such Third Party Claim, transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third-Party Claim and an estimate of any Losses expected to be incurred with respect thereto (if reasonably determinable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure to give the notice provided in, or in accordance with, this Section 9.3(a) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 9, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim (except in the case of an Excluded Matter) if the Indemnifying Party promptly notifies the Indemnified Party (and in any event within 30 days after having received any Claim Notice) in writing that it is exercising its right to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (and reasonably approved by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall have control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any compromise or settlement of such claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation or breach of Law by the Indemnified Party in such settlement, (ii) the sole relief provided in such settlement is monetary in damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, and (iii) such settlement provides, in customary form, for the unconditional and full release of the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities in connection with such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.3(b), and the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation unless, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, there is a conflict of interest (including the availability to the Indemnified Party of one or more defenses that are not available to the Indemnifying Party) that would prevent the same counsel from representing both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain one separate counsel, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Third-Party Claim (i) primarily seeks non‑monetary relief, (ii) asserts Losses in excess of the applicable Liability cap set forth in Section 9.4 (after taking into account all prior and pending indemnifiable Losses) or (iii) involves a criminal proceeding against the Indemnified Party (each, an “Excluded Matter”), then, in each case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the applicable Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.3(c) below.

(c) In the event of an Excluded Matter, or if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.3(b) within 30 days after receipt of any Claim Notice (or notifies the Indemnified Party within such time period that it elects not to defend the Indemnified Party) then, in each such instance, the Indemnified Party

shall have the right to defend against the applicable Third-Party Claim and be reimbursed for its reasonable cost and expense in regard to such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party in all appropriate proceedings. In such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall defend any such Third-Party Claim in good faith and have full control of such defense and proceedings; provided, that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim if indemnification is to be sought hereunder without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.3(c), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(d) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by notice to the applicable Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable after (and in no event later than 30 days after) the date on which the Indemnified Party becomes aware of facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and shall include, to the extent estimable, a reasonable estimate of the Losses expected to be incurred with respect thereto (if reasonably determinable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure to give the notice provided in, or in accordance with, this Section 9.3(d) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 9, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure.

9.4 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:

(a) the Seller’s aggregate Liability pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) shall not exceed the consideration received by the Seller hereunder, except in the event of Fraud.

(b) the Purchaser’s aggregate Liability pursuant to Section 9.2 shall not exceed the Base Purchase Price, except in the event of Fraud.

(c) no Indemnifying Party shall have any Liability for, and Losses will not include, any punitive Losses, except to the extent any such Losses are awarded and paid with respect to a Third-Party Claim.

9.5 Payment. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, any indemnification payment required to be made by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to this Article 9 will be paid as follows: (a) first, against the R&W Policy; and (b) the balance, if any, and to the extent such Losses are not recoverable under the R&W Policy, from the Seller. Seller covenants and agrees to retain a minimum of $4,500,000 of cash in liquid accounts for a period of 12 months following the Closing; provided, that, if there are any then-pending claims of any Purchaser Indemnified Party for indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article 9 as of the 12 month anniversary of the Closing, Seller covenants and agrees to retain a minimum amount of cash equal to the aggregate amount of any such pending claims (not to exceed $4,500,000), until such claims are resolved in full pursuant to this Article 9.

9.6 Exclusive Remedies. From and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims, Losses or other matters arising out of, under, or related to this Agreement, shall be the rights of indemnification set forth in this Article 9 (except in the case of Fraud, in which case the Indemnified Party shall have all rights and remedies available under this Agreement and available under Law), and no Person shall have any other entitlement, remedy, or recourse, whether in Contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise. This Section 9.6 shall not operate to interfere with or impede the operation of the covenants contained in this Agreement that by their nature are required to be performed after the Closing, or with respect to a party’s right to seek injunctions, specific performance, and other equitable relief pursuant to Section 12.13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and for the avoidance of doubt,

(a) the procedures set forth in Section 1.5 shall apply to the resolution of disputes contemplated thereby, and (b) nothing herein shall limit the recourse of the Purchaser against the insurer(s) or underwriter(s) under the R&W Policy.

9.7 Determination of Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Closing, for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach and the amount of any Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder, each representation and warranty in this Agreement, other than the representation and warranty set forth in the first sentence of Section 3.6 and the terms Material Contracts, Material Customers, Material Permits and Material Suppliers, shall be read without regard and without giving effect to the term(s) “material”, “Material Adverse Effect”, or other similar qualifications as to materiality, as if such words and surrounding related words (e.g., “reasonably be expected to”, and similar restrictions and qualifiers) were deleted from such representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, or agreement, except to the extent it qualifies an affirmative requirement to list specified items on the Disclosure Schedules.

9.8 Purchase Price Adjustment. Any amounts payable under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 shall constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax reporting purposes and all other purposes to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

9.9 Survival. The parties hereby agree that (a) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (other than the Fundamental Representations) shall terminate upon the Closing, (b) the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date (such that claims may be brought for breaches thereof in accordance with Article 9 until such time), (c) the covenants, obligations, and agreements in this Agreement, to the extent performance or fulfillment thereof is required by their terms to be accomplished prior to the Closing, shall survive the Closing until the date that is 12 months following the Closing (such that claims may be brought for breaches thereof in accordance with Article 9 until such time), and (d) the covenants, obligations, and agreements in this Agreement, to the extent performance or fulfillment thereof is required by their terms to be accomplished at or following the Closing, shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms and remain in full force and effect until such particular covenant, obligation, or agreement is fully performed or fulfilled as provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim for indemnification hereunder prior to the expiration of the applicable time periods specified above shall survive until finally resolved.

12.13 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage for which money damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, may occur prior to a termination in the event that the parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failure to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions.

by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such State, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

12.18 Consent to Jurisdiction. SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1.5 (WHICH SHALL GOVERN ANY DISPUTE ARISING THEREUNDER), THE PARTIES AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED HEREUNDER SHALL PROPERLY AND EXCLUSIVELY LIE IN THE CHANCERY COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND ANY STATE APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, IF THE CHANCERY COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE DECLINES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION OVER A PARTICULAR MATTER, ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE).

THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT, AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT ANY SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE MAILING BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OF ANY PROCESS REQUIRED BY ANY SUCH COURT SHALL CONSTITUTE VALID AND LAWFUL SERVICE OF PROCESS AGAINST THEM, WITHOUT NECESSITY FOR SERVICE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR RULE OF COURT. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

12.19 Post-Closing Attorney-Client Matters.

(a) The Seller’s Post-Acquisition Use of Law Firm.

The Purchaser (1) waives and will not assert, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) to waive and not assert, any conflict of interest relating to Law Firm’s representation after the Closing of the Seller or the Seller’s Affiliates in any matter involving the Transaction (including any litigation, arbitration, mediation, or other proceeding), and (2) consents to, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) to consent to, any such representation, even though in each case (x) the interests of the Seller and/or the Seller’s Affiliates may be directly adverse to the Purchaser, the Company, or any of their Subsidiaries, (y) Law Firm may have represented the Company or its Subsidiaries in a substantially related matter, or (z) Law Firm may be handling other ongoing matters for the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(b) The Purchaser’s Non-Access to the Company’s Legal Records re Acquisition Transaction. The Purchaser agrees that, after the Closing, neither the Company, the Purchaser,

nor any of their Subsidiaries will have any right to access or control any of Law Firm’s records relating to or affecting the Transaction, which will be the property of (and be controlled by) the Seller.

(c) The Seller’s Retention of Attorney-Client Privilege with Respect to Sell-Side Acquisition Legal Representation. The Purchaser agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries), that from and after Closing (a) the attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege, all other evidentiary privileges, and the expectation of client confidence as to all Attorney-Client Communication belong to the Seller and will not pass to or be claimed by the Purchaser, the Company, or any of their Subsidiaries, and (b) the Seller will have the exclusive right to control, assert, or waive the attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege, any other evidentiary privilege, and the expectation of client confidence with respect to such Attorney-Client Communication. Accordingly, the Purchaser will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) not to, (x) assert any attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege, other evidentiary privilege, or expectation of client confidence with respect to any Attorney-Client Communication, except in the event of a post-Closing dispute with a Person that is not the Seller or the Seller’s Affiliate; or (y) take any action which could cause any Attorney-Client Communication to cease being a confidential communication or to otherwise lose protection under the attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege or any other evidentiary privilege, including waiving such protection in any dispute with a Person that is not the Seller or the Seller’s Affiliate. Furthermore, the Purchaser agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries), that in the event of a dispute between the Seller or the Seller’s Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to any matter in which Law Firm jointly represented both parties, neither the attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence, nor any right to any other evidentiary privilege will protect from disclosure to the Seller or the Seller’s Affiliates any information or documents developed or shared during the course of Law Firm’s joint representation.
