THE MERGER

SECTION 1.01. The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

SECTION 1.02. Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on a date to be specified and agreed by Parent and the Company, which date shall be no later than the third Business Day following the satisfaction (or waiver by the party entitled thereto) of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the party entitled thereto) of such conditions), remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signature pages, unless another time or date shall be agreed in writing by the parties hereto; provided that, notwithstanding the satisfaction (or waiver by the party entitled thereto) of the conditions set forth in Article VII, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Parent, the parties shall not be required to effect the Closing prior to June 14, 2024. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

SECTION 1.03. Effective Time. Prior to the Closing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall prepare, and at the Closing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) executed in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL to effectuate the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with such Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such other time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

SECTION 1.04. Effects of Merger. The Merger shall have the effects provided in this Agreement and as set forth in the applicable provisions, including Section 259, of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub will vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub will become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 1.05. Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws. At the Effective Time, (a) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that references therein to the name of Merger Sub shall be replaced by references to Snap One Holdings Corp.), and (b) the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that references therein to the name of Merger Sub shall be replaced by references to Snap One Holdings Corp.), in each case, until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law and the applicable provisions therein.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK; PAYMENT FOR SHARES

SECTION 2.01. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Stock Owned by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or of Parent (such shares, “Excluded Shares”), in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares, Appraisal Shares, and Company Restricted Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $10.75, without interest and less any applicable withholding Taxes (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02.

(d) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) (such shares, “Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c), but instead, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, shall be canceled

3

and retired and shall cease to exist and shall represent the right to receive only those rights provided under Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to receive those rights under and to be paid such consideration as is determined pursuant to Section 262, shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and shall represent only the right to receive, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c). If the Surviving Corporation makes any payment after the Effective Time with respect to Appraisal Shares to the holders thereof pursuant to such holders’ appraisal rights under Section 262 or otherwise has funded amounts into the Exchange Fund in respect of such Appraisal Shares, then any portion of the Merger Consideration relating to such Appraisal Shares held in the Exchange Fund shall be delivered by the Paying Agent to the Surviving Corporation upon demand. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawals of any such demands or any other instruments or notices served pursuant to the DGCL or otherwise and received by the Company relating to the rights of appraisal of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, (i) make any payment with respect to any such demand, (ii) offer to settle or settle any such demand or (iii) waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or timely take any other action to perfect appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL.

SECTION 2.02. Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent an amount in cash necessary to pay for the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedure. Promptly (and in any event no later than two Business Days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall direct the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (if any), or a non-certificated share or non-certificated shares, that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates” or “Book-Entry Shares,” respectively) which were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree prior to the Effective Time) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon (A) in the case of a Certificate, surrender of such Certificate to the Paying Agent for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent or (B) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the

4

Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of the transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.01(c), and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article II. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the cash payable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with the provisions of this Article II.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon the surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock that such Certificate or Book-Entry Share represented immediately prior to the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II. No cash payment with respect to the Merger Consideration shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share until the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Section 2.02.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent (or the Surviving Corporation, as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇), upon demand, and any former holder of Company Common Stock entitled to payment of Merger Consideration who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent as a general creditor thereof for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration without any interest thereon.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered for Merger Consideration prior to the five (5) year anniversary of the Effective Time (or, if earlier, immediately prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

5

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent (net of any applicable withholding Taxes). No such investment or any loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable pursuant to this Article II. Parent shall take actions necessary to ensure that the Exchange Fund includes at all times cash in an amount sufficient for the Paying Agent to pay the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement.

(g) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Paying Agent or Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent or Parent, as applicable, shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration.

(h) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub, Parent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Law with respect to Taxes. Any amounts so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

SECTION 2.03. Equity Awards.

(a) Treatment of Company Stock Options and Phantom Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option and Phantom Option will be cancelled without any action on the part of the holder thereof and without any cash payment being made in respect thereof, it being understood that no Company Stock Option will have an exercise price per share less than the Merger Consideration as of the Effective Time.

(b) Treatment of Vested Company RSUs. At the Effective Time,

each Company RSU that is outstanding and vested immediately prior to the Effective Time, after taking into account any accelerated vesting that occurs immediately prior to, or in connection with, the Effective Time, in each case pursuant to any Contract or Company Benefit Plan that provides for such acceleration (each, a “Vested Company RSU”), shall automatically and without any required action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration.

6

(c) Treatment of Unvested Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of a Company RSU, each Company RSU other than a Vested Company RSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Company RSU”), shall be assumed by Parent and automatically converted into a Parent restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock under the Parent Equity Plan on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.03(c). Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time, the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock underlying such award will be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time by the (B) Exchange Ratio, with any resulting fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock (as converted, a “Converted RSU”); provided, that, any such fractional share shall be converted into a right to receive an amount in cash at the Effective Time equal to (x) such fractional share multiplied by (y) the Parent Company Stock Value. As of the conversion pursuant to this Section 2.03(c), each Converted RSU shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) applicable to the corresponding Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, any acceleration benefits that applied to such Unvested Company RSU upon a qualifying termination of employment or service pursuant to the terms thereof (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable Severance Arrangement)), except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.03(c), for administrative changes, or changes resulting from the Converted RSU being subject to the Parent Equity Plan, in each case, that are not materially adverse to the holder of such Converted RSU, or to which the holder consents.

(d) Treatment of Company Restricted Shares. At the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(e) Treatment of Company PSUs. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of a Company PSU, each Company PSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Company PSU”) shall be assumed by Parent and automatically be converted into a Parent restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company PSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (and provided, for clarity, that any Company PSU that as of immediately prior to the Effective Time is no longer subject to performance criteria, and any Company PSU for which the performance period is deemed completed as a result of the consummation of the Transactions, shall be subject to the treatment described in subsection (b) or (c) above for Company RSUs, as applicable), except that the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock underlying such award will be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time based on (i) with respect to any Company PSU for which the performance period has not been completed as of the Effective Time, based on target performance, or (ii) with respect to any Company PSU for which the performance period has been completed prior to the Effective Time, based on the actual level of performance (as determined by the Compensation Committee prior to the Effective Time in good faith consistent with past practices) through the end of such performance period (provided, that the Company will consult with Parent in good faith on such determination of actual performance), which for the avoidance of doubt may be zero for any Company PSU that does not satisfy the applicable performance conditions, by (B) the Exchange Ratio (as converted, a “Converted PSU”), with any resulting fractional share rounded up to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock. As of the conversion pursuant to this Section 2.03(e), each Converted PSU shall be subject to the same

7

terms and conditions (including the remaining service-based vesting conditions that would apply with respect to any such Company PSU (or portions thereof) following the completion (or deemed completion) of any applicable performance period), subject to the terms set forth on Section 2.03(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and settlement terms applicable to the corresponding Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any acceleration benefits that apply to such Company PSU upon a qualifying termination of employment or service pursuant to the terms thereof (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable Severance Arrangement)) except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.03(e), for administrative changes, or changes resulting from the Converted PSU being subject to the Parent Equity Plan, in each case, that are not materially adverse to the holder of such Converted PSU, or to which the holder consents.

(f) Treatment of Vested Phantom RSUs. At the Effective Time, each Phantom RSU that is outstanding and vested immediately prior to the Effective Time, after taking into account any accelerated vesting that occurs immediately prior to, or in connection with, the Effective Time, in each case pursuant to any Contract or Company Benefit Plan that provides for such acceleration (each, a “Vested Phantom RSU”), shall automatically and without any required action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Phantom RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration.

(g) Treatment of Unvested Phantom RSUs. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of a Phantom RSU, each Phantom RSU other than a Vested Phantom RSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Phantom RSU”), shall be assumed by Parent and automatically converted into a Parent cash-settled restricted stock unit award under the Parent Equity Plan that will be settled in cash by reference to the value of shares of Parent Common Stock (as of the applicable vesting date) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.03(c). Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time, the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock underlying such award will be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Phantom RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time by the (B) Exchange Ratio, with any resulting fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock (as converted, a “Converted Phantom RSU”); provided, that, any such fractional share shall be converted into a right to receive an amount in cash at the Effective Time equal to (x) such fractional share multiplied by (y) the Parent Company Stock Value. As of the conversion pursuant to this Section 2.03(c), each Converted Phantom RSU shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms, subject to the terms set forth on Section 2.03(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter and settlement terms) applicable to the corresponding Unvested Phantom RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, any acceleration benefits that applied to such Unvested Phantom RSU upon a qualifying termination of employment or service pursuant to the terms thereof), except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.03(c), for administrative changes, or changes resulting from the Converted Phantom RSU being subject to the Parent Equity Plan, in each case, that are not materially adverse to the holder of such Converted Phantom RSU, or to which the holder consents.

8

(h) Treatment of Company ESPP. Prior to or as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall have taken or shall take all actions required to (i) ensure that no enrollment for offering periods under the Company ESPP shall commence on or after the date of this Agreement and that no new offering period under the Company ESPP shall commence on or after the date of this Agreement, (ii) if the Closing shall occur prior to the end of the offering period under the Company ESPP in effect as of the date hereof, cause a new exercise date to be set under the Company ESPP, which date shall be no later than one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) arrange for the amount of the accumulated contributions of each participant under the Company ESPP, to the extent not used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company ESPP prior to the Effective Time (the “Remaining ESPP Account Balance”), to be refunded to such participant through the Company’s payroll system no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Time. The Company shall further take all actions necessary to terminate the Company ESPP in accordance with the terms thereof, effective as of no later than the Effective Time.

(i) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company and the Compensation Committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions necessary to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.03(a) through (g), and to terminate the Company Stock Plan and to ensure that, as of the Effective Time, no Person shall have any right under the Company Stock Plan (other than any rights attendant to Converted RSUs, Converted PSUs, or Converted Phantom RSUs and right to payment of the Merger Consideration, as set forth in Section 2.03(b), (d) and (f) in respect of Vested Company RSUs, Company Restricted Shares and Vested Phantom RSUs, respectively). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver written notice to each holder of a Company Equity Award informing such holder of the effect of the Merger on the Company Equity Awards, and the Company shall consult with Parent with respect to such notices and shall provide Parent an opportunity to comment thereon, which comments will be considered in good faith by the Company. Effective as of the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the Unvested Company RSUs, Unvested Company PSUs, and Unvested Phantom RSUs that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.03. Parent may also elect to convert and assume (on the same basis set forth in Section 2.03(c) and (e)) the share reserve available under the Company Equity Plan as of the Effective Time into the Parent Equity Plan to the extent permitted under and in accordance with applicable Law.

(j) Payment for Company Equity Awards. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the aggregate amount owed to holders of Vested Company RSUs, Company Restricted Shares, Vested Phantom RSUs, and fractional shares resulting from the conversion of Unvested Company RSUs, Unvested Company PSUs, and Unvested Phantom RSUs contemplated by this Section 2.03, and any associated payroll taxes then payable, provided that Parent shall not be required to make any such deposit to the extent the cash and cash equivalent balances of the Company are sufficient to satisfy the payment obligations (and associated payroll taxes) in respect of the foregoing Company Equity Awards as set forth herein. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than the later of (i) the second regularly scheduled payroll date of the Surviving Corporation following the Closing Date, and (ii) fourteen (14) Business Days following the Closing Date, the applicable former holders of the Company Equity Awards described in this Section 2.03(j) will receive a payment from the

9

Surviving Corporation, through its payroll system or payroll provider, of all amounts required to be paid to such former holders in respect of such Company Equity Awards pursuant to Section 2.03(a)-(g), as applicable (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.02(h)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that payments in respect of any such Company Equity Award are owed to non-employee directors or other non-employee service providers of the Company, such amounts shall be paid as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than fourteen (14) Business Days following the Closing Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds through such method as the Company typically uses for payments to such Persons.

SECTION 2.04. Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article II to the contrary, if between the date hereof and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the occurrence or record date of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction; provided, that nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its Equity Interests that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Each Company Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code and any related trust is so qualified and has received a favorable determination letter or, with respect to any such Company Benefit Plan that utilizes a preapproved plan document, can rely on an opinion or advisory letter obtained by the preapproved plan sponsor as to its qualification and, to the knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect or to cause the loss of such qualification.

(f) All Company Benefit Plans and PEO Plans that are maintained outside of the United States that provide benefits in respect of any employee of the Company who is primarily based outside of the United States (each, a “Non-U.S. Company Plan”) (i) have been maintained in accordance, in all material respects, with all applicable Laws, (ii) if they are intended to qualify for special tax treatment, meet, in all material respects, all the requirements for such treatment, and (iii) if they are intended to be funded and/or book-reserved, are fully funded and/or book-reserved, as appropriate, based upon reasonable actuarial assumptions, in each case, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(g) No Company Benefit Plan and no PEO Plan obligates the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to provide, post-retirement medical, life insurance or other welfare benefits for any Company Service Provider (or the spouses, dependents or beneficiaries of any individuals), whether under a Company Benefit Plan, PEO Plan, or otherwise, except (i) as required to comply with Section 4980B of the Code or any similar Law, (ii) the full cost of which is borne by the employee or former employee (or any of their beneficiaries), or (iii) with respect to Company Service Providers located outside of the United States, in excess of such benefits required by applicable Law.

22

(h) Except as set forth in Section 3.10(h) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the Transactions (including as a result of such consummation in combination with any termination of employment or any other event on or following the Effective Time) will (i) entitle any Company Service Provider to any transaction, retention or change in control bonuses or similar bonuses or severance benefits (excluding, for this purpose, any severance or termination benefits that are payable as a result of a termination of employment following the Closing by Parent or an Affiliate thereof), or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting of, or trigger any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of, compensation or benefits under, or materially increase the amount payable pursuant to, any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Plan, or (iii) limit or restrict the right to merge, terminate, amend, supplement or otherwise modify or transfer the assets of any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Plan on or following the Effective Time.

(i) None of the execution and delivery of or the performance under this Agreement, any approval of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions could, either individually or in combination with another event, result in the payment of any amount to any “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. No Company Benefit Plan or PEO Plan provides any Company Service Provider with the right to a gross up for any excise or additional Taxes incurred pursuant to Section 409A or Section 4999 of the Code.

The Company has delivered or made available to Parent, a true, complete and correct copy of each Lease (including all amendments, modifications, renewals, consents, guaranties and other agreements with respect thereto). The Company or its applicable Subsidiary owns and has good and valid title to, or has a good and valid leasehold, easement, right of way, license or other interest in, or otherwise has a valid right of possession, use or access to, all Leased Real Property, in each case free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, and no Person other than the Company and its Subsidiaries has the right to use or occupy the Leased Real Property. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Lease is valid, binding and enforceable by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary that is party thereto and, to the knowledge of the Company, each other party thereto (in each case subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception), and is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no

23

default under any Lease by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary that is party thereto or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other party thereto, and no event has occurred that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default thereunder by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary that is party thereto or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other party thereto, and (iii) there are no disputes pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened with respect to any Lease.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 3.11(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries have subleased, assigned or transferred any interest in any Leased Real Property or granted any Person the right to use or occupy the Leased Real Property that is subject to such Lease.

To the knowledge of the Company, the Leases are not subject to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other superior Liens granted by the fee owner or superior leaseholder of the Leased Real Property that would entitle the holder thereof to materially interfere with or disturb the tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Real Property or the exercise of the tenant’s rights under the Leases so long as the tenant is not in default under the Lease. Except as set forth in Section 3.11(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company or one of its Subsidiaries has exclusive possession of each parcel of Leased Real Property, and no third-party is in possession of any Leased Real Property.

36

(b) Each of the Debt Financing Commitment and the Equity Commitment Letter is, as of the date hereof, in full force and effect.

As of the date hereof, neither the Debt Financing Commitment nor the Equity Commitment Letter has been amended, modified, supplemented, extended or replaced. As of the date hereof, (i) neither Parent, nor, to the knowledge of Parent and Merger Sub, any other counterparty to the Debt Financing Commitment or the Equity Commitment Letter is in breach of any of its covenants or other obligations set forth in, or is in default under, the Debt Financing Commitment or the Equity Commitment Letter, in either case, to the extent any such breach would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the availability of the Debt Financing or Equity Financing, as applicable (other than as disclosed to the Company) and (ii) no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to (A) constitute or result in a breach or default on the part of Parent or Merger Sub (or, to the knowledge of Parent and Merger Sub, any of the Debt Financing Sources or Equity Financing Sources, as applicable) under the Debt Financing Commitment or the Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable, (B) constitute or result in a failure to satisfy a condition of the Debt Financing set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment or the Equity Financing set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, or (C) otherwise result in any portion of the Debt Financing or Equity Financing, as applicable, not being available in full on the Closing Date (except as would be financed by Parent with cash or equity).

Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 hereof, as of the date hereof Parent and Merger Sub: (i) have no reason to believe that Parent will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis each term and condition to the funding of the Debt Financing or Equity Financing to be satisfied by it and (ii) have no knowledge, as of the date hereof, of any occurrence, circumstance or condition that would reasonably be expected to cause the proceeds of the Debt Financing or Equity Financing to not be available to Parent and Merger Sub on the Closing Date an amount sufficient, together with available cash on hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including (I) payments under Article II, (II) payment of any and all fees and expenses required to be paid by Parent and Merger Sub at the Closing in connection with the Merger and the Debt Financing, (III) payment for any refinancing of any outstanding indebtedness of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries contemplated by this Agreement or the Debt Financing and (IV) satisfaction of all of the other payment obligations of Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub contemplated hereunder to be made by them at the Closing (clauses (I) through (IV), the “Financing Uses”)).

Sub under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding the Parent’s, Merger Sub’s, their Affiliates’, or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing (including the Debt Financing or Equity Financing) for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and in no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing) by or to Parent or Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates or any other financing transaction be a condition to the Closing or the consummation of the Merger or any other Transactions.

SECTION 5.02. No Solicitation; Adverse Recommendation Change.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 5.02, from and after the execution and delivery of this Agreement until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees not to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, propose, induce, encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries regarding, or the submission or announcement of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company

43

Takeover Proposal (it being understood and agreed that ministerial acts that are not otherwise prohibited by this Section 5.02 (such as answering unsolicited phone calls) shall not (in and of itself) be deemed to facilitate for purposes of, or otherwise constitute a violation of, this Section 5.02), (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Company Takeover Proposal (or inquiries, proposals or offers that could reasonably be expected to lead to Company Takeover Proposal) (it being understood that the Company may inform Persons of the provisions contained in this Section 5.02), (iii) furnish to any Person (other than Parent or Merger Sub) any non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford to any Person (other than Parent or Merger Sub) access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or personnel of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in any such case with the intent to induce the making, submission or announcement of, or to encourage or knowingly facilitate, any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Takeover Proposal, (iv) approve, endorse or recommend a Company Takeover Proposal, or (v) execute or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, option agreement, merger agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or any other agreement relating to any Company Takeover Proposal, other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with the terms set forth herein (a “Company Acquisition Agreement”).

(b) Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives to, immediately cease all discussions and negotiations regarding any inquiry, proposal or offer pending on or prior to the date of this Agreement that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Takeover Proposal. In furtherance of the foregoing, promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement (and, in the case of clause (ii) below, no later than the next Business Day following the date of this Agreement), the Company will (i) request that each Person and its Representatives (other than Parent or its Representatives) that has, prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with such person’s consideration of making a possible Company Takeover Proposal, to promptly return or destroy all non-public confidential information previously furnished to such Person in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement and (ii) terminate access to any physical or electronic data rooms relating to a possible Company Takeover Proposal. The Company shall not release any Person from, or waive, amend or modify any provision of, or grant any permission under any “standstill” provision or similar provision with respect to any capital stock of the Company in any confidentiality or standstill agreement (or similar agreement) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; provided that, prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall be permitted to grant waivers of, and not to enforce, any “standstill” or similar provision to the extent necessary to permit the party referred therein to submit a Takeover Proposal to the Company Board on a confidential basis solely to the extent that (A) the Company Board determines in good faith ( after consultation with the Company’s financial advisor outside legal counsel) that the failure to release such Person from such agreement or provision or the failure to amend such agreement or waive such provision, or the enforcement of such agreement or provision, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Delaware law; and (B) the Company provides Parent with written notice of the Company’s intent to take such action prior to communicating such action to such Person.

44

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.02(a), Section 5.02(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time after the execution of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company or any of its Representatives receives a bona fide, written Company Takeover Proposal, which Company Takeover Proposal did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.02, then in response to such Company Takeover Proposal (i) the Company and its Representatives may contact the Person or group that made such Company Takeover Proposal to clarify (but not negotiate) the terms and conditions thereof, including any ambiguous terms and conditions of such proposal that are necessary to provide adequate information for the Company Board to make an informed determination under this Section 5.02, or to request that such Person or group provide the terms and conditions of such Company Takeover Proposal in writing (and any additional documents related thereto) and (ii) if the Company Board determines in good faith (based on the information then available and after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor) that such Company Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal from the Person or group submitting such bona fide, written Company Takeover Proposal (a “Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal”), the Company may, subject to compliance with Section 5.02(d), (A) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Person or group making the Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal and thereafter furnish information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company to such Person or group and its Representatives pursuant to such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement so long as, promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) such information is provided or made available to such Person or group or any of its Representatives, the Company also provides Parent any information furnished to such Person or group or any of its Representatives which was not previously furnished to Parent, and (B) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any information and other access to, such Person or group and its Representatives. For the avoidance of doubt, none of (A) the determination, in itself with no further action, by the Company Board that a Company Takeover Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal or (B) the public disclosure, in itself, of such determination will constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change or violate this Section 5.02.

(d) The Company shall promptly, and in no event later than 24 hours after the Company’s knowledge of receipt thereof, (i) advise Parent in writing of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ or its or their respective Representatives’ receipt of any Company Takeover Proposal, including the identity of the Person or group making such Company Takeover Proposal, and (ii) deliver to Parent a written notice setting forth the material terms and conditions of any such Company Takeover Proposal. From and after such notification, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt basis of any material developments with respect to any such Company Takeover Proposal (including any material changes thereto) and the status of any related discussions or negotiations.

(e) Except as set forth in Section 5.02(f), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify (in a manner adverse to Parent), or publicly propose to withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify (in a manner adverse to Parent), the Company Recommendation, or (B) adopt, endorse, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, endorse, approve or recommend any Company Takeover Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) (it being understood that a customary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Board of

45

Directors of the Company or any committee thereof pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change) or (ii) approve, recommend, cause or permit the Company or any Subsidiary thereof to enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with this Section 5.02).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may (i) make an Adverse Recommendation Change (A) in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its legal counsel and financial advisor) that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (B) if the Company receives a Company Takeover Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.02 and which the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its legal counsel and financial advisor) that such Company Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (ii) enter into a definitive written agreement providing for the consummation of a Superior Proposal and concurrently terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e); provided, however, that the Company Board and any committee thereof shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, take any action set forth in clause (i) or clause (ii) above unless, prior to taking such action (A) the Company has provided written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change”) advising Parent that the Company Board or any such committee intends to take such action and the reasons therefor, (B) (x) in the case of any Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change provided in connection with an Intervening Event, provided written notice of such Intervening Event (which notice shall describe such Intervening Event in reasonable detail) and (y) in the case of any Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change provided in connection with a Company Takeover Proposal, provided written notice of the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and identifying the Person or group making such Superior Proposal, (C) a period of three (3) Business Days has elapsed following the Company’s provision of such Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change (it being understood that any amendment or modification to any Company Takeover Proposal that is the basis for such proposed Adverse Recommendation Change shall require a new Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change and an additional notice period (which shall be two (2) Business Days)), (D) the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Affiliates and its and their Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent and its Representatives during such three (3) Business Day period (as it may be extended pursuant to clause (C)) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that either the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law or such Company Takeover Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal, as appropriate, and (E) in determining whether to make such Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement, the Company Board takes into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement timely proposed by Parent in response to a Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.02 will prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position required by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, in each case after commencement of a tender offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act); provided that in no event shall the Company Board make an Adverse Recommendation Change except in accordance with Section 5.02(f).

(d) If at any time prior to the Closing any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by a party, which information should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Information Statement, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and the Company shall prepare (with the assistance, if applicable, of Parent) and mail to its stockholders such an amendment or supplement, in each case, to the extent required by applicable Law. Each of the Company, Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub agrees to promptly (i) correct any information provided by it specifically for use in the Information Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and (ii) supplement the information provided by it specifically for use in the Information Statement to include any information that shall become necessary in order to make the statements in the Information Statement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

SECTION 6.03. Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) The Company shall, shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives to, if reasonably requested by Parent, give Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized Representatives reasonable access during reasonable business hours to the offices, properties, books, records and personnel of the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company, in each case, for the purposes of implementing and/or consummating the Transactions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide such access or information if the Company determines in its reasonable judgment that doing so would (i) violate applicable Contract, Law or any applicable Judgment, or (ii) waive the protection of attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or other legal privilege; provided, that, that the Company will reasonably cooperate with Parent to provide such document or information in a manner that would not result in violation of Contract or Law or the loss or waiver of such privilege, to the extent feasible. Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities during normal business hours and in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the Closing, Parent shall have no right to perform invasive or subsurface

48

investigations or sampling of any environmental media or building materials at the properties or facilities of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries without prior written consent of the Company (which may be denied, delayed or conditioned in the sole discretion of the Company).

(b) All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.03 or otherwise in connection with the Transactions shall be subject to the confidential disclosure agreement dated July 6, 2022, as amended January 26, 2024, between Snap One LLC and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall remain in full force and effect pursuant to the terms thereof, notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the termination thereof.

SECTION 6.04. Reasonable Best Efforts; Notification.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each party shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all reasonable actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things that are reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including, but subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII, (ii) obtaining all necessary or advisable Authorizations and Consents from, making all necessary or advisable registrations, declarations and filings with and taking all steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to obtain any Authorizations or Consents from, or avoid a Proceeding with, any Governmental Entity or other third-party with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions, including the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period in respect of the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws or FDI Laws, (iii) furnishing all information required to be furnished in connection with obtaining any Authorizations or Consents from or making any filings with any Governmental Entity or other third-party, and promptly cooperating with and furnishing information in connection with any such requirements imposed upon any party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, (iv) defending or contesting any Proceedings by any Governmental Entity or third-party challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions and (v) executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement so long as such additional instruments are consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 6.04(f): proposing, negotiating, effecting, agreeing to or committing to, or executing any settlements, undertakings (affirmative or otherwise), consent decrees, stipulations or other agreements with any Governmental Entity obligating Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to: (i) sell, divest, license or otherwise convey or hold separate any asset (whether tangible or intangible) or business of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof or terminate any existing relationship, contractual right or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (ii) create any relationship, contractual right or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (iii) implement any limitations, prohibitions or restrictions affecting the business, operations or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, or (iv) litigate, contest, defend and appeal any Proceeding, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby (each of the actions in the preceding clauses (i) – (iv), a “Remedial Action”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) for the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to take or effect (or agree to take or effect) any Remedial Action in respect of any of the product lines, rights, assets or properties (including Intellectual Property rights) of Parent or any Subsidiary thereof (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) or that otherwise materially impact or effect the businesses and operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries), and (B) neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries (including, for the purpose of this clause, the Company and its Subsidiaries) will be required to take or effect (or agree to take or effect) any Remedial Action if such Remedial Action(s) would, in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to either (x) result in a loss of revenue equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the total sales revenue of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2023 as reflected in the most recent financial statements, or (y) have a material and adverse impact to Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in respect of the benefits (including synergy benefits) that Parent and its Subsidiaries expect to derive from the consummation of the Transactions and their ownership and operation of the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Company shall not take or agree to, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to take or agree to, any Remedial Action without the prior written consent of Parent. Nothing in this Section 6.04 shall require any party (or Affiliate thereof) to take or agree to take any action with respect to its business or operations pursuant to this Section 6.04 unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing. Parent and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Company and its Affiliates, on the other hand, also shall be obligated to defend, litigate or participate in the litigation of any Proceeding brought by or against any Governmental Entity in connection with obtaining any Authorization or Consent from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions.

(g) Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any merger, acquisition or similar transaction, or any agreement to effect any such transaction, for any business that competes with the Company’s business, that will make it materially more difficult, or materially increase the time required, to (i) obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under any Antitrust Law or FDI Law applicable to the Transactions, or (ii) avoid the commencement of litigation by any Governmental Entity under any Antitrust Law or FDI Law seeking the entry of any injunction or order that would materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transactions.

52

(h) In addition to and without limiting any of the parties’ respective obligations in this Section 6.04, the Company and the Company Board shall (i) take all action, including granting such approvals, necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute, “business combination,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or similar Law is or becomes applicable to any Transaction or this Agreement and (ii) if any state takeover statute, “business combination,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or similar Law becomes applicable to any Transaction or this Agreement, take all action necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Transactions and this Agreement.

SECTION 6.05. Continuing Employee Matters.

(a) For the period from the Effective Time through the first anniversary of the Effective Time (or such shorter period during which the Continuing Employee remains in continued employment with the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof), each employee of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company who remains in the employment of the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof (each, a “Continuing Employee”) shall receive: (i) unless otherwise agreed to in writing between Parent or its Affiliates and a Continuing Employee, a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, and target short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than as provided by the Company or the Subsidiaries of the Company to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that, the base salary or wage rate, as applicable, of any Continuing Employee during such period shall not be reduced, (ii) for any such Continuing Employee located in the United States, severance benefits that are no less favorable than as provided by the Company or the Subsidiaries of the Company to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the date hereof pursuant to the terms of a Company Benefit Plan set forth on Section 6.05(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (collectively, the “Severance Arrangements”), and (iii) employee benefits (other than any equity or equity-based arrangements, long-term incentive programs, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements, post-termination or retiree health and welfare benefits, defined benefit pension plans, and change-in-control payments, retention payments, or other similar nonrecurring compensation) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to either (as determined by Parent) (x) those that were provided by the Company or the Subsidiaries of the Company to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the date hereof, or (y) those provided by Parent or its Affiliates to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates. With respect to any Continuing Employee who is primarily based outside of the United States, the requirements of this Section 6.05(a) shall be subject to any discretionary modifications or adjustments permitted in accordance with local Company Benefit Plans (or related policies) as well as any requirements under applicable Law.

(b) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, cause any plans, program, agreements, or arrangements established or maintained by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) (the “New Plans”) to recognize each Continuing Employee’s service prior to the Effective Time with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and any predecessor of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (to the extent such service is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary under a corresponding Company Benefit Plan), for purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting and levels of benefits; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized (i) to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits,

53

(ii) for purposes of eligibility, benefit accruals or vesting under any defined benefit pension plan, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements, or retiree health or welfare plans or arrangements (except as may be required under applicable Law with respect to Continuing Employees located outside of the United States), (iii) for purposes of vesting of any incentive, equity, or equity-based compensation, or (iv) with respect to any New Plan to the extent that, under such New Plan, Parent or the relevant Affiliate does not provide for the crediting of any prior service for any other similarly situated employee of Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries).

(c) With respect to any New Plan that is a welfare plan, Parent shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Continuing Employees to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such employees under the welfare plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in respect of claims eligible and covered under the applicable Company Benefit Plan, to the extent that such claims are incurred during the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under any such New Plan.

(d) With respect to each cash short term incentive bonus program of the Company and its Subsidiaries with a performance period that is in-cycle as of the Closing (each, a “Company Bonus Program”), (i) payments pursuant to such Company Bonus Program with respect to the performance period commencing on January 1 of the year in which the Closing occurs and ending on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Bonus Period”) shall be determined and paid by Parent or its Affiliates in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) Parent shall not make any modification to such Company Bonus Program with respect to the Pre-Closing Bonus Period in a manner that is detrimental to any participant therein.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.08, this Section 6.05 shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.05, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, any right to employment or engagement (or continued employment or engagement) by Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any right to a specific benefit or term or condition of employment or service) under or by reason of this Section 6.05. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring, and the Company shall take no action that would have the effect of requiring, Parent or the Surviving Corporation to continue any specific plans, programs, policies, arrangements, agreements or understandings or to continue the employment of any specific person. Furthermore, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting or limiting the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to amend, modify or terminate any plans, programs, policies, arrangements, agreements or understandings of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any such plan, program, policy, arrangement, agreement or understanding for any purpose.

54

(a) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or applicable Subsidiary thereof to honor and comply with the obligations with respect to all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities, for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of any current or former director, officer, employee, agent or benefits trustee (the “Indemnified Persons”) of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company as provided in the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws, the organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Company or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Person and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (in each case, as in effect on the date hereof and, in the case of any indemnification agreement, as set forth in Section 6.06(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and of which the Company has made available to Parent true, correct and complete copies), without further action, as of the Effective Time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by granting the Indemnified Persons rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 7.07 of the Company Bylaws or similar provisions of the organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof), and such obligations shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such six (6)-year period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. For the avoidance of doubt, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, the applicable rights of indemnification and exculpation contemplated by this Section 6.06(a) and pursuant to the terms of the Company Charter or Company Bylaws as in effect at or immediately prior to the Effective Time shall not be impaired by any modification of such terms in any amendment or restatement of such Company Charter or Company Bylaws following the Effective Time and prior to such six (6) year anniversary (including in connection with the filing of the Certificate of Merger).

(b) As promptly as practicable following the date hereof, in consultation with Parent, the Company shall obtain a prepaid non-cancelable (“tail”) policy with coverage for six (6) years following the Effective Time with terms and coverage limits that are substantially similar to those in the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, employment practice liability insurance, and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or prior to the Effective Time, except as set forth on Section 6.06(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter; provided, that, such tail insurance shall act on a primary basis with respect to any other applicable directors’ and officers’ liability, employment practices liability and fiduciary liability insurance; provided, further, that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain such policy on favorable pricing terms in reasonable consultation with Parent. For purposes of the forgoing, consultation shall include (i) providing copies of policy documents and quotes to the Parent prior to binding and allowing Parent to comment thereon (and reasonably considering any such comments) and (ii) making the broker available for consultation with Parent upon Parent’s reasonable request.

The Indemnified Persons shall be express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.06.

SECTION 6.07. Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements, including any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts, with respect to the Transactions, including the Merger, and shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except in each case (i) as required by applicable Law or court process or by obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system or (ii) for any press release, public announcement or other public statement by either Parent and the Company that consists solely of information that is consistent with information disclosed in any press release, public statement or public announcement previously issued or made in compliance with this Section 6.07 or any communications plan previously agreed to by Parent and the Company. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company and Parent may, without the Company, Parent or Merger Sub’s consent, as applicable, communicate to its employees, customers, suppliers and consultants; provided, that any such communication is consistent with information disclosed in any press release, public statement or public announcement previously issued or made in compliance with this Section 6.07 or any communications plan previously agreed to by Parent and the Company. The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Transactions shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties.

From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, make any payments under the TRA or agree to any amendment or modification of the TRA Waiver, in each case without the consent of Parent.

SECTION 6.15. Financing.

58

and not in violation of Section 6.15(b) and (iii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions applicable to the Debt Financing in the Debt Financing Commitment and any Financing Agreements with respect thereto, in each case, to the extent within the control of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub shall, at the reasonable request of the Company, inform the Company on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (or any Alternative Financing).

(b) Parent shall not agree to or permit any amendment, supplement or other modification or replacement of, or any termination or reduction of, or grant any waiver of, any condition, remedy or other provision under the Debt Financing Commitment, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company if (and only if) such amendment, supplement, modification, replacement or waiver would or would reasonably be expected to (i) reduce the net cash proceeds available from the Debt Financing such that Parent would not have, together with the Equity Financing and cash on hand, sufficient cash proceeds to fund the Financing Uses, (ii) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any condition precedent to the receipt of the Debt Financing, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) delay or prevent the Closing, or (B) make the timely funding of the Debt Financing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing materially less likely to occur, or (iii) adversely impact in any material respect the ability of Parent and Merger Sub to enforce its or their rights against the other parties to the Debt Financing Commitment; it being understood that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may (1) replace, amend, supplement, or modify or consent to the replacement, amendment, supplement or modification of the Debt Financing Commitment to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Debt Financing Commitment as of the date of this Agreement, and/or (2) make or permit assignments and replacements of an individual lender under the Debt Financing Commitment in connection with the syndication of the Debt Financing. Promptly following any amendment, supplement, modification, replacement or waiver of the Debt Financing Commitment in accordance with this Section 6.15(b), Parent shall deliver a copy thereof to the Company and references herein to the “Debt Commitment Letter,” “Fee Letter,” and/or “Debt Financing Commitment” shall be deemed to include such documents as amended, supplemented, modified, replaced or waived in compliance with this Section 6.15(b). For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not agree to or permit any (i) termination of the Debt Financing Commitment, other than subsequent to, or simultaneously with, obtaining an Alternative Financing, or (ii) reduction of the Debt Financing Commitment, other than in connection with a reduction in the Merger Consideration; provided, that, the net cash proceeds available from the Debt Financing as so reduced, together with the Equity Financing and cash on hand, will be sufficient cash proceeds to fund the Financing Uses.

(c) Parent shall not agree to or permit any amendment, supplement or other modification or replacement of, or any termination or reduction of, or grant any waiver of, any condition, remedy or other provision under the Equity Commitment Letter, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company if (and only if) such amendment, supplement, modification, replacement or waiver would or would reasonably be expected to (i) reduce the net cash proceeds available from the Equity Financing such that the Parent would not have, together with the Debt Financing and cash on hand, sufficient cash proceeds to fund the Financing Uses, (ii) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any condition precedent to the receipt of the Equity Financing, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably

59

be expected to (A) delay or prevent the Closing, or (B) make the timely funding of the Equity Financing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Equity Financing materially less likely to occur, or (iii) adversely impact in any material respect the ability of Parent and Merger Sub to enforce its or their rights against the other parties to the Equity Commitment Letter.

(d) In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing necessary for the Parent and Merger Sub to fund the Financing Uses becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment (including the flex provisions) (i) Parent shall promptly notify the Company and (ii) Parent and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to (A) arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, financing for any such portion from alternative sources (an “Alternative Financing”) on terms that do not impose new or additional conditions precedent or otherwise expand, amend or modify the conditions precedent to funding in a manner, when considered with all other conditions taken as a whole, would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the ability or likelihood of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) provide the Company with a copy of the new Debt Financing Commitment (if applicable) that provides for such Alternative Financing (including all related exhibits, schedules, annexes, supplements and term sheets thereto, and including any related fee letter, which may be redacted to remove references to fee amounts, pricing caps and the economic terms of any flex provisions and other economic terms, provided that such redactions do not cover terms that could reasonably be expected to affect the conditionality, amount, availability, enforceability or termination of the Alternative Financing). Upon obtaining any commitment for any such Alternative Financing, such financing will be deemed to be a part of the “Debt Financing,” any commitment letter for such Alternative Financing will be deemed the “Debt Commitment Letter” and any fee letter for such Alternative Financing will be deemed to be the “Fee Letter,” in each case, for all purposes of this Agreement, Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the Parent or any of its Affiliates be required to pay any fees or any interest rate applicable to the Alternative Financing in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof (including the flex provisions) or agree to terms (including any flex term) materially less favorable in the aggregate (after giving effect to the flex provisions) to Parent than such term contained in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof (including the flex provisions).

(e) Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) (1) upon having knowledge of any material breach or material default (or any event, fact or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to result in material breach or material default) by any party to any Debt Commitment Letter or other definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing (collectively with the Debt Commitment Letter, the “Debt Documents”), (2) if for any reason Parent in good faith believes that it is likely that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, (3) of the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives of any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to any actual or threatened material breach, material default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Debt Commitment Letter or other Debt Document, and (4) of any expiration or termination of any Debt Commitment Letter; provided that in no event shall Parent be required to share any information with the Company that Parent reasonably determines is subject to or would otherwise jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege.

60

(f) It is acknowledged and agreed by the Parent and Merger Sub that (i) the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding the Parent’s, Merger Sub’s, their Affiliates’, or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) compliance (or noncompliance) with this Section 6.15 shall not relieve Parent or Merger Sub of any obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation (subject to the other terms hereof) to pay all amounts due pursuant to Article II on the Closing Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not the Debt Financing is available.

SECTION 6.16. Financing Cooperation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.16, but subject to the terms set forth on Section 6.16 of the Company Disclosure Letter, nothing will require the Company or its Subsidiaries to provide (or be deemed to require the Company to prepare) any (1) pro forma financial statements, projections or other prospective information; (2) description of all or any portion of the Debt Financing; (3) risk factors relating to all or any component of the Debt Financing, including any such description to be included in liquidity and capital resources disclosure; (4) “segment” financial information and separate subsidiary financial statements, (5) any financial statements or other information required by Rules 3-09, 3-10, 3-16, 13-01 or 13-02 of Regulation S-X, Regulation S-K Item 302 or for any period prior to January 1, 2019, (6) information regarding officers or directors prior to consummation of the Merger (except biographical information if any of such persons will remain officers or directors after consummation of the Merger, if any), executive compensation and related party disclosure or any Compensation Discussion and Analysis or information required by Item 302 (to the extent not so provided in SEC filings) or 402 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and any other information that would be required by Part III of Form 10-K (except to the extent previously filed with the SEC), (7) information regarding affiliate transactions that may exist following consummation of the Merger, (8) information regarding any post-Closing pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization, ownership or other post-Closing pro forma adjustments (excluding information that is historical financial information of the Company and is derivable without undue effort or expense by the Company from the books and records of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) or (9) information necessary for the preparation of any projected or forward-looking financial statements or information that is not derivable without undue effort or expense by the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any requested cooperation pursuant to this Section 6.16 shall not be required if such cooperation (A) unreasonably disrupts or interferes with the business or the operations of Company and its Subsidiaries or (B) causes significant competitive harm to the Company or its Subsidiaries, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, (ii) nothing in this Section 6.16 shall require cooperation to the extent that it would (A) subject, or reasonably be expected to subject, any of Company’s or its subsidiaries’ respective directors, managers, officers or employees to any personal liability, (B) based on the advice of the Company’s legal counsel,

62

conflict with, or violate, the Company’s and/or any of its subsidiaries’ organization documents or any applicable Law or judgment, or result in the contravention of, or violation or breach of, or default under, any material Contract to which Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, (C) would cause any condition to the Closing set forth in Section 7.01, Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 to not be satisfied or (D) cause any breach of this Agreement, (iii) neither the Company nor any subsidiary thereof shall be required to (A) pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur or assume any liability or other obligation in connection with the financings contemplated by the Debt Financing or the Debt Documents, to bear any cost or expense or to make any other payment (in each case to the extent it has not received prior reimbursement or is not otherwise concurrently indemnified by or on behalf of Parent) or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Debt Financing or any information utilized in connection therewith, in each case prior to the Effective Time, (B) deliver or obtain opinions of internal or external counsel, or (C) require the directors or managers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained unless Parent shall have determined that such directors or managers are to remain as directors and managers of the Company on and after the Closing Date and such resolutions are contingent upon the occurrence of, or only effective as of, the Closing.

(c) All material non-public information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries provided to Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.16 shall be kept confidential by them in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. The Company hereby consents to (i) the use of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to nor is reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their assets, including their logos and marks and (ii) Parent sharing confidential information regarding the Company with Debt Financing Sources as “representatives” of Parent under the Confidentiality Agreement.

(d) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver evidence, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of the termination, effective as of Closing, of any and all obligations or liabilities under that certain letter agreement, dated as of November 16, 2022, with unique swap identifier 1030282338VM45635678 (the “Interest Swap Agreement”) and all amounts payable thereunder having been satisfied as of the Closing, without any further liability or obligation on the part of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, in lieu thereof, at the written request of Parent, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to novate to Parent the Interest Swap Agreement, effective on the Closing Date. To the extent the Interest Swap Agreement is terminated in accordance with the preceding sentence (and not novated), Parent shall be obligated to provide to the Company or its Subsidiaries any termination payments, settlement amounts or other out-of-pocket costs payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such termination substantially simultaneously with (and subject to the occurrence of) the Closing.

(e) Parent shall, promptly upon written request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including professional fees and expenses of accountants, legal counsel and other advisors) to the extent such costs are incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation provided by the Company, its Subsidiaries, their respective officers, employees and other

63

representatives pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.16, or in connection with compliance with its obligations under this Section 6.16, and Parent hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, any information utilized in connection therewith and any misuse of the logos or marks of the Company or its Subsidiaries, except to the extent that such liabilities or losses arose out of or resulted from the willful misconduct of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives.

(f) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 6.16 represent the sole obligation of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of any financing (including the Debt Financing) to be obtained by Parent and/or Merger Sub with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Debt Commitment Letter, and no other provision of this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) or the Debt Commitment Letters or Debt Documents shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations. In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing be a condition to any of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company’s breach of any of the covenants required to be performed by it under this Section 6.16(a) shall not be considered in determining the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VII, unless such breach is (a) in respect of any of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.16(a)(1), or (b) a willful and material breach and is the primary cause of Parent being unable to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing at the Closing.

SECTION 6.17. FIRPTA Certificate. At or prior to Closing, the Company shall have delivered to Parent (i) a statement from the Company, signed by an authorized officer of the Company, that the Company is not, and has not been at any time during the five years preceding the date of such statement, a “United States real property holding corporation,” as defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Code, such statement in form and substance conforming to the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(c)(3) and 1.897-2(h) (the “FIRPTA Certificate”), and (ii) a form of notice to be delivered by Parent to the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of the Company in compliance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.897-2(h)(2) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

SECTION 6.18. Specified Actions. The Company shall take the actions set forth on Section 6.18 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

SECTION 6.19. Certain Notices. From and after the date hereof and until the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly notify Parent, and Parent shall promptly notify the Company, in writing upon becoming aware of (a) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to cause of any of the conditions set forth in Article VII to not be satisfied as if the Closing Date were the date that such event, condition, fact or circumstance occurred, arose, existed or came into effect, (b) any Proceeding or claim threatened (in writing), commenced or asserted against any of the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective officers or directors that either relates to this Agreement, the Merger or the Transactions, or (c) any allegation by a third-party that its consent or approval is required in connection with the consummation of the Transactions if the failure to obtain such

64

consent or approval is material the applicable party. No notification provided pursuant to this Section 6.19 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by any party hereunder or limit or restrict any rights of any party hereunder, including the right to assert that a condition to Closing has not been satisfied. Any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing shall not be deemed to constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Article VII or the basis for any condition set forth in Article VII not to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case unless the underlying breach would independently result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Article VII to be satisfied.

SECTION 6.20. 401(k) Plan Termination. The Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions necessary or appropriate to terminate, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company 401(k) Plan, unless Parent or one of its Affiliates, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees to sponsor and maintain the Company 401(k) Plan by providing the Company with written notice of such election at least ten (10) Business Days before the Closing. Unless Parent or one of its Affiliates provides such notice to the Company, Parent shall receive from the Company, prior to the Closing, evidence that the Board of Directors of the Company or its applicable Affiliate has adopted resolutions to terminate the Company 401(k) Plan (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent), effective no later than the date immediately preceding the Closing Date. In the event that the distributions of assets from the trust or group annuity contract of the Company 401(k) Plan which is terminated is reasonably anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees to be imposed upon the account of any participant or beneficiary of such terminated plan or upon the Company or plan sponsor, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to estimate (or to cause a qualified third-party to estimate) the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent prior to the Closing. The Company shall take (or cause to be taken) such other actions in furtherance of terminating the Company 401(k) Plan as Parent may reasonably require. If Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees to sponsor and maintain the Company 401(k) Plan, the Company shall amend the Company 401(k) Plan, effective as of the Closing, to the extent necessary to limit participation to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to exclude all employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) from participation in the Company 401(k) Plan. In connection with any such termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, Parent shall (or shall cause a Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, to) (A) create or make available one or more tax-qualified defined contribution plans (a “Parent 401(k) Plan”) in which Company Service Providers who were eligible to participate in the Company 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time will be entitled to participate, effective as soon as practicable following the Closing (and in no case later than 30 days following the Closing), (B) allow any such employees to roll over their account balances (including any loans, if permitted by the applicable Parent 401(k) Plan) from the Company 401(k) Plan into any such Parent 401(k) Plan, and (C) take all actions reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing.

TERMINATION; AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

SECTION 8.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time (whether before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, except as otherwise expressly noted):

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company;

(b) by either Parent or the Company:

(i) if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before October 15, 2024 (such date, as may be extended in accordance with this clause (i), the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that in the event the conditions set forth in Section 7.01(a) (with respect to Antitrust Laws) or Section 7.01(b) shall not have been satisfied on or before the Outside Date, but all other conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied (or waived by the parties entitled thereto) (or in the case of conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, are capable of being satisfied on such date) on or before such date, then either Parent or the Company shall be entitled to, by delivering written notice to the other party no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Outside Date, extend the Outside Date to January 15, 2025; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(b)(i) shall not be available to a party (which in the case of Parent or Merger Sub, includes either or both of Parent and Merger Sub) if any action of such party or the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or directly resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to perform such obligations constitutes a breach of this Agreement; or

(ii) if any Legal Restraint permanently restraining, enjoining, preventing, prohibiting or otherwise making illegal the consummation of the Merger shall be in effect and shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(b)(ii) shall not be available to a party (which in the case of Parent or Merger Sub, includes either or both of Parent and Merger Sub) if the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or directly resulted in the issuance of such final, non-appealable Legal Restraint.

68

(c) by Parent, if the Company breaches any of its representations or warranties or fails to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.02(a) or 7.02(b) and (ii) cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured prior to the earlier of (x) 45 days after the giving of written notice by Parent to the Company of such breach (which notice shall include reasonable detail regarding such breach) and (y) the Outside Date (provided, that Parent and Merger Sub are not then in material breach of this Agreement or if any representation or warranty of Parent or Sub shall have become untrue, in either case, so as to result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.03(a) or 7.03(b));

(d) by the Company, if Parent or Merger Sub breaches any of its representations or warranties or fails to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.03(a) or 7.03(b) and (ii) cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured prior to the earlier of (x) 45 days after the giving of written notice by the Company to Parent or Merger Sub of such breach (which notice shall include reasonable detail regarding such breach) and (y) the Outside Date (provided, that the Company is not then in material breach of this Agreement or if any representation or warranty of Parent or Sub shall have become untrue, in either case, so as to result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) or 7.02(b));

(e) by the Company, prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval but not thereafter, in order to enter into, concurrently with the termination of this Agreement, a definitive written agreement providing for the consummation of a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 5.02; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(e) unless the Company has complied with Section 5.02 (including Section 5.02(f)) and has paid, or simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(e) pays, the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 9.02;

(f) by Parent, prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if an Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred; or

(g) by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, if a copy of the Written Consent shall not have been delivered to Parent within twelve (12) hours following the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.02. Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no force and effect (other than Section 6.03(b), Section 6.04(d), Section 6.07, Section 6.16(d), this Section 8.02 and Article IX, which provisions shall survive such termination), without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, except that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability arising out of or resulting from the willful and material breach by such party of any provision set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful and material breach” means, with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant set forth in this Agreement, a material breach that is a consequence of an act or failure to act undertaken by the breaching party with actual or constructive knowledge (which shall be deemed to include knowledge of facts that a Person acting reasonably should have, based on reasonable due inquiry) that such party’s act or failure to act would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in or constitute a breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a party’s failure to consummate the Closing when required pursuant to Section 1.02 shall be a willful and material breach of this Agreement.

69

(b) In the event that:

(i) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e);

(ii) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f); or

(iii) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.01(g) and (A) at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination, a Company Takeover Proposal shall have been communicated to the senior management of the Company or the Company Board and (B) within twelve (12) months after such termination, the Company or a Subsidiary thereof shall have (1) consummated a Company Takeover Proposal or (2) entered into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Takeover Proposal (provided, that for purposes of this Section 8.02(b)(iii), the references to “20% or more” in the definition of Company Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “more than 50%”);

then the Company shall pay to Parent (or its designee) a fee of $26,348,250 (the “Company Termination Fee”). Any fee due under this Section 8.02(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account designated by Parent (1) in the case of clause (i) above, prior to or simultaneously with such termination of this Agreement, (2) in the case of clause (ii) above, within three (3) Business Days after the date of such termination of this Agreement, and (3) in the case of this clause (iii), within three (3) Business Days after the earlier of (x) the date of the consummation of the transaction referred to in clause (B)(1) thereof and (y) the date of entry into the definitive agreement referred to in clause (B)(2) thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Company Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay any amounts due pursuant to this Section 8.02 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent and/or Merger Sub commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the amounts set forth in this Section 8.02, the Company shall pay to or as directed by Parent the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Parent or its Affiliates (including Merger Sub) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts due pursuant to this Section 8.02 from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made (the “Enforcement Expenses”).

70

SECTION 8.03. Amendment; Extension; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified and supplemented in any and all respects only by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties. Any agreement on the part of a party to any extension or waiver with respect to this Agreement shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties (treating Parent and Merger Sub as one party for this purpose) may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) there shall be made no amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement after the Effective Time and (ii) any amendment to this penultimate sentence of Section 8.03 (Amendment; Extension; Waiver), the second proviso to Section 9.08 (Entire Agreement, Third-Party Beneficiaries), the final sentence of Section 9.12 (Jurisdiction), Section 9.13 (WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL) or Section 9.14 (Debt Financing Sources), in each case to the extent that such amendment would materially and adversely affect the interests of a Debt Financing Sources Related Party, shall also be approved by such the applicable Debt Financing Source. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

ARTICLE IX

GENERAL PROVISIONS

SECTION 9.05. Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement and in the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. References to “this Agreement” shall include the Company Disclosure Letter. Any terms used in the Company Disclosure Letter or any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement. The Exhibits to this Agreement and the Company Disclosure Letter are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement. Any matter set forth in any section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be referred to and incorporated in any section to which it is specifically referenced or cross-referenced, and also in all other sections of the Company Disclosure Letter to which such matter’s application or relevance is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure. Nothing contained in the Company Disclosure Letter shall be construed as an admission of liability or responsibility of any party to any third-party in connection with any pending or threatened legal proceeding or otherwise. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning as the word “shall.” The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The phrase “date hereof” or “date of this Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to April 14, 2024. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded. Unless the context requires otherwise (i) any reference to any Law herein shall be construed as referring to Law as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, (ii) any reference to any Contract, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such Contract, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (provided such Contract, instrument or document has been made available to Parent), (iii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (iv) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof and (v) all references herein to Articles and Sections shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “dollars” or “$” shall refer to the lawful money of the United States. Wherever the term “group” is used in this Agreement, it is used as defined in Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act. As used in this Agreement, the term “beneficial ownership” (and its correlative terms) shall have the meaning

84

assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. The term “made available,” “provided,” “disclosed” or words of similar import mean that the relevant documents, instruments or materials were (i) posted and made available to Parent on the Intralinks due diligence data site maintained by the Company for the purpose of the Transactions at least 24 hours prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (ii) publicly available by virtue of the Company’s filing of a publicly available report, form or schedule with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act prior to the date of this Agreement or (iii) delivered by e-mail to Parent or its Representatives prior to the date of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

SECTION 9.06. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 9.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to email (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”)), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by Electronic Delivery shall be deemed to be an original and effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. No party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

SECTION 9.08. Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with any Exhibit hereto and the Company Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties and their affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and (b) are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies, except (i) pursuant to Section 6.06(a), which is intended to be for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons and the other Persons covered by the insurance provided pursuant thereto and (ii) the rights of the holders of Company Common Stock to pursue claims for damages (including monetary damages based on the loss of the economic benefits of the Merger) and other relief for Parent’s or Merger Sub’s breach of this Agreement; provided that the rights granted to the holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) of this Section 9.08 shall only be enforceable on behalf of such holders by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, further that it is specifically intended that the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties with respect to the penultimate sentence of Section 8.03 (Amendment; Extension; Waiver), this proviso to Section 9.08 (Entire Agreement, Third-Party Beneficiaries), Section 9.09 (Assignment), the final sentence to Section 9.12 (Jurisdiction), Section 9.13 (WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL) and Section 9.14 (Debt Financing Sources) are express third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

85

SECTION 9.09. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void; provided, however, that the Parent or Merger Sub may assign its respective rights under this Agreement to any Debt Financing Source pursuant to the terms of the Debt Financing Commitment for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning as collateral its respective rights in respect of the Debt Financing; provided, however, such assignment will not relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 9.10. Governing Law. Other than as provided in Section 9.12, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

SECTION 9.11. Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including the consummation of the Transactions and the funding by Parent of the full amount of the aggregate Merger Consideration) in any court referred to in Section 9.12, without the necessity of proving actual damages or the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without such right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties further agrees not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid or contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. In the event any party hereto brings any action, claim, complaint, suit, action or other proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to the Closing, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such action, claim, complaint, suit, action or other proceeding is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, claim, complaint, suit, action or other proceeding.

86

SECTION 9.12. Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if such court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, then in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, if jurisdiction is not then available in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (but only in such event), then in any Delaware state court sitting in New Castle County) and any appellate court from any of such courts (the “Chosen Courts”) for the purpose of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims with respect to such Proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in such court. Each of the parties hereto (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in the event any Proceeding arises out of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) irrevocably consents to the service of process in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, on behalf of itself or its property, in accordance with Section 9.03 (provided, that nothing in this Section 9.12 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by ▇▇▇) and (iv) agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions in any court other than the Chosen Courts. The parties hereto agree that a final trial court judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by ▇▇▇. The foregoing shall not restrict any party’s right to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment, or to bring suit for the recognition or enforcement of any judgment obtained in any Chosen Court. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and each of its controlled Affiliates, hereby acknowledges and agrees: (i) that any proceeding, whether in Law or in equity, in contract, in tort, or otherwise, involving the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the performance of services thereunder or related thereto, will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the state of New York in the borough of Manhattan and any appellate court thereof, and each of the parties hereto submits for itself and its property with respect to any such proceeding, to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court; (ii) not to bring or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support anyone in bringing any such proceeding in any other court, (iii) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such proceeding in any such court and (iv) any such proceeding will be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York except to the extent relating to the interpretation of any provisions in this Agreement (including any provision in any documentation related to the Debt Financing that expressly specifies that the interpretation of such provisions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware).

SECTION 9.13. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER, THE DEBT FINANCING COMMITMENT OR THE FINANCING (INCLUDING THE PERFORMANCE

87

THEREOF) OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND THAT THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.13.

SECTION 9.14. Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Debt Financing Sources Related Party shall have any liability or obligation to the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to Closing with respect to any claim or cause of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity or otherwise) relating to (a) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder, (b) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), (c) any breach or violation of this Agreement or (d) any failure of the transactions contemplated hereunder to be consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.14 does not limit or affect any rights or remedies that Parent may have against the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Debt Commitment Letter.
