Section 2.4 Determination
of Final Purchase Price.


 


(a)
As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date (but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date), Buyer shall
deliver to Seller a statement (the “Buyer Adjustment Report”) setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s
good-faith calculation of: (i) Net Working Capital (“Actual Working Capital”), Cash (“Actual Cash”),
Indebtedness (“Actual Indebtedness”) and Transaction Expenses (“Actual Transaction Expenses”), in

Working Capital by more than $500,000 or minus the amount, if any, by which Target Working Capital exceeds Actual Working Capital
by more than $500,000.


 


(b)
If Buyer does not timely deliver the Buyer Adjustment Report within such ninety (90) day period, at the election of Seller, either (i)
the Closing Date Report delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 2.3(c) shall be deemed to be the “Final Adjustment Report”,
for all purposes hereunder, or (ii) Seller shall be entitled to retain (at the sole cost and expense of Buyer) an independent accounting
firm of recognized national standing to provide an audit of the books of the Company, to determine the calculation of, and prepare, the
Final Adjustment Report consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.4, with the determination of such independent accounting
firm being conclusive, final and binding on the parties hereto.


 


(c)
The following procedures shall apply with respect to the review of the Buyer Adjustment Report:


 


(i)   Seller shall
have a period of forty-five (45) days after receipt by Seller of the Buyer Adjustment Report to review such Buyer Adjustment Report
(the “Review Period”). During the Review Period, Buyer shall make available to Seller and its Representatives
reasonable access during normal business hours to all relevant personnel, Representatives of Buyer, books and records of the Company
and other items reasonably requested by Seller in connection with, and solely for purposes of, its review of the Buyer Adjustment
Report and any dispute with respect thereto as contemplated by this Section 2.4.


 






    18 


    


    

 


(ii)  
If Seller does not deliver to Buyer a written statement describing any objections that Seller has to the Buyer Adjustment Report (a “Notice
of Disagreement”) on or before the final day of the Review Period, then Seller shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted
such Buyer Adjustment Report, and such Buyer Adjustment Report shall be deemed to be the “Final Adjustment Report”
for purposes of the payment (if any) contemplated by Section 2.4(d). If Seller delivers to Buyer a Notice of Disagreement on or
before the final day of the Review Period, then Buyer and Seller shall attempt to resolve in good faith the matters contained in the Notice
of Disagreement within sixty (60) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Notice of Disagreement (the “Resolution Period”).
If Buyer and Seller reach a resolution with respect to such matters on or before the final day of the Resolution Period, then the Buyer
Adjustment Report, as modified by such resolution, shall be deemed to be the “Final Adjustment Report” for purposes
of the payment (if any) contemplated by Section 2.4(d).


 


(iii) If a resolution is
not reached on or before the final day of the Resolution Period, then Buyer and Seller shall promptly (and in any event no later
than five (5) Business Days after the last day of the Resolution Period) retain the Accounting Firm (including by executing a
customary agreement with the Accounting Firm in connection with its engagement) and submit any unresolved objections covered by the
Notice of Disagreement (the “Disputed Items”) to the Accounting Firm for resolution in accordance with this Section
2.4(c)(iii). The Accounting Firm will be instructed to (A) make a final determination on an expedited basis (and in any
event within thirty (30) days after submission of the Disputed Items) with respect to each of the Disputed Items (and only the
Disputed Items) that is within the range of the respective positions taken by each of Buyer and Seller and (B) prepare and
deliver to Buyer and Seller a written statement setting forth its final determination (and a reasonably detailed description of the
basis therefor) with respect to each Disputed Item (the “Accounting Firm’s Report”). During the ten (10)
days after submission of the Disputed Items to the Accounting Firm, each of Buyer and Seller may provide the Accounting Firm with a
definitive statement in writing of its positions with respect to the Disputed Items (and only the Disputed Items). The Accounting
Firm will be provided with reasonable access, as permitted by applicable Law, to the personnel, Representatives, books and records
of Buyer, the Company and Seller (subject, in the case of Buyer’s or Seller’s accountants, to the execution of customary
work paper access letters if requested) for purposes of making its final determination with respect to the Disputed Items, and
Buyer, Seller and the Company shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Accounting Firm in connection therewith. The Accounting
Firm shall issue a final report consisting of the Buyer Adjustment Report, as modified by the Accounting Firm to incorporate any
changes thereto in accordance with the Accounting Firm’s Report, which final report shall be deemed to be the “Final
Adjustment Report” for purposes of the payment (if any) contemplated by Section 2.4(d). Each of Buyer and Seller
agree that (1) the Accounting Firm’s determination with respect to each Disputed Item as reflected in the Accounting
Firm’s Report and the Final Adjustment Report as issued by the Accounting Firm shall be deemed to be final and binding,
(2) the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the final
determination of the Final Adjustment Report and (3) the Final Adjustment Report, including the Accounting Firm’s
determination under this Section 2.4(c)(iii), shall be enforceable as an arbitral award, and judgment may be entered
thereupon in any court of competent jurisdiction. The place and seat of the proceedings before the Accounting Firm shall be New
York, New York, U.S.A., and such proceedings shall be conducted in English. Net Working Capital as of the Closing as set forth in
the Final Adjustment Report shall be deemed to be the “Final Working Capital”. Cash as of the Closing as set
forth in the Final Adjustment Report shall be deemed to be the “Final Cash”. Indebtedness as of the Closing as
set forth in the Final Adjustment Report shall be deemed to be the “Final Indebtedness”. Transaction Expenses as
of the Closing as set forth in the Final Adjustment Report shall be deemed to be the “Final Transaction
Expenses”. Purchase Price as of the Closing as set forth in the Final Adjustment Report shall be deemed to be the
“Final Purchase Price”. The Closing Payment for purposes of the Final Adjustment Report shall be an amount equal
to (A) the Base Purchase Price, (B) minus the Final Indebtedness, (C) plus the Final Cash, (D) minus Final
Transaction Expenses, (E) plus the amount, if any, by which Final Working Capital exceeds Target Working Capital by more
than $500,000 or minus the amount, if any, by which Target Working Capital exceeds Final Working Capital by more than
$500,000.


 






    19 


    


    

 


(iv)
Each of Buyer and Seller shall pay its own respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.4. The costs
and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Buyer and Seller in proportion as is appropriate to reflect their relative success
in the resolution of the Disputed Items. For example, if Seller challenges the calculation of the Final Purchase Price by an amount of
$100,000, but the Accounting Firm determines that Seller has a valid claim for only $60,000, then Buyer shall bear sixty percent (60%)
of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and Seller shall bear the other forty percent (40%) of such fees and expenses.


 


(d)
Within two (2) Business Days after the determination of the Final Adjustment Report in accordance with this Section 2.4 (including
by failure to timely deliver a Notice of Disagreement):


 


(i)   
if the Additional Payment Amount is a positive number, then Buyer shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Additional Payment Amount to
Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to an account of Seller designated in writing by Seller to Buyer;
or


 


(ii)  
if the Additional Payment Amount is a negative number, then Seller shall pay an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Additional
Payment Amount to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to an account of Buyer designated in writing by
Buyer to Seller.


 


For purposes hereof, “Additional
Payment Amount” means (A) the Closing Payment for purposes of the Final Adjustment Report minus (B) the Closing Payment
for purposes of the Closing Date Report. For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional Payment Amount may be a negative number.


 


(e)
Tax Treatment of Payments. All payments made under this Section 2.4 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.


 


Section 2.5 Withholding
Tax. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of Buyer and Seller or their agents shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any amounts payable or deliverable under this Agreement such amounts as are required
to be withheld under applicable Law and shall deposit such amounts with the appropriate Governmental Authority; provided that,
except with respect to any withholding required as a result of compensatory payments or as a result of failure to provide the certificate
pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(ii)(E), the party making such deduction or withholding shall have first notified the recipient of the
payment subject to such deduction or withholding of its intent to deduct or withhold, together with an explanation of the legal requirement
for such deduction or withholding, and Seller and Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate in good faith to reduce or eliminate
such deduction or withholding to the extent permitted under applicable Law. Any such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes
under this Agreement as having been paid to the Party to whom such amounts would have otherwise been paid, and shall be timely deposited
by the party so withholding with the appropriate Governmental Authority.

Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified, and its related trustee is exempt from Tax under Code Section 501(a). Each such Benefit Plan
has received a favorable determination, opinion, or advisory letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that such Benefit
Plan meets the requirements of Code Section 401(a). Nothing has occurred, and nothing is reasonably expected to occur, that would reasonably
be expected to adversely affect the qualification of such Benefit Plan or the exemption of its related trust. No Legal Proceeding, audit
or investigation has been threatened, asserted or instituted, or, to Seller’s Knowledge, is anticipated, against any of the Benefit
Plans (other than routine claims for benefits and appeals of such claims).

services contracts, fidelity bonds, fiduciary liability insurance, and other funding arrangements; (v) the most recent annual
actuarial valuation; (vi) all nondiscrimination test reports for the preceding three (3) plan years; and (vii) all material written
correspondence with any Governmental Authority during the past three (3) years. The terms of each Benefit Plan (other than
individual employment agreements provided to Buyer) permit the Company or a successor (whether before or after Closing) to amend and
terminate such Benefit Plan at any time and for any reason without penalty and without material Liability, cost or expense to
Company or such successor (other than reasonable costs and expenses of a type typically incurred in terminations of similar employee
benefit plans and payments of accrued benefits).

result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether or not some other subsequent action or event
would be required to cause the receipt of such amount or benefit to occur) by any employee, officer or director of the Company who is
a “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) is reasonably expected to be non-deductible
for United States federal income tax purposes by virtue of Section 280G of the Code.


 


(f)   
Each Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(d)(1) satisfies
in form and operation the requirements of Code Section 409A and the guidance thereunder (and has satisfied such requirements for the entire
period during which Code Section 409A has applied to such Benefit Plan) in all material respects and no additional Tax under Section 409A
of the Code has been incurred by a participant in any such Benefit Plan. Company does not have any obligation (whether pursuant to a Benefit
Plan or otherwise) to indemnify, “gross-up”, reimburse or otherwise compensate any individual with respect to the additional
Taxes or interest imposed pursuant to Code Section 409A or 4999.

Section 4.4
Financing; Solvency.


 


(a) Buyer has delivered to
Seller a true, correct and complete, fully executed copy of the Equity Commitment Letter, pursuant to which Sponsor has committed to
provide the Equity Financing and Seller is named an express third party beneficiary in, and is entitled to require Buyer to
specifically enforce the performance of Sponsor’s obligation to fund the Equity Financing, in each case, in accordance with,
and subject to the terms of, this Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter. The Equity Commitment Letter, has not been amended,
restated or otherwise modified or waived as of the date of this Agreement, no such amendment or modification is contemplated and the
respective commitments contained in the Equity Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, rescinded, amended, restated or otherwise
modified in any respect as of the date hereof. The Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of each of Buyer and Sponsor, subject to the Enforceability Limitations. Assuming the satisfaction of
the conditions contained Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(b), the net cash proceeds contemplated from the Equity
Financing will be sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (x) the payment of any amounts
required to be paid pursuant to Article 2, and (y) the payment of all other amounts to be paid by Buyer pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder, and associated costs and expenses of the transactions

(or any portion) of the Equity Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter and delivered to the
Seller prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Equity Commitment Letter and the availability of the Equity
Financing on the Closing Date are not subject to any conditions precedent or other conditions other than as expressly set forth in
the Equity Commitment Letter. No Person has any right to impose, and neither the Buyer nor any party to the Equity Commitment Letter
has an obligation to accept, (i) any condition precedent to the funding of the full amount of the Equity Financing other than as
expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter nor (ii) any reduction to the aggregate amount available under the Equity
Commitment Letter contemplated to be funded at Closing (nor any term or condition which would have the effect of reducing the
aggregate amount available under the Equity Financing at Closing). Buyer has fully paid or caused to be paid all commitment fees or
other fees required to be paid on or prior to the date hereof in connection with the Equity Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of any Financing is not a

covenant or agreement, or (ii) taken into account in determining whether the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 7
have been satisfied.


 


Section 5.4 Efforts
to Consummate. Subject to Section 5.5 and Section 5.6, during the Pre-Closing Period, each of Buyer and Seller shall,
and Seller shall cause the Company to, use its reasonable best efforts (unless, with respect to any action, another standard of performance
is expressly provided for herein) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary under
applicable Law to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as promptly as reasonably practicable,
including satisfaction (but not waiver) of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 7. None of the Parties nor any of their
respective Affiliates or Representatives shall take any action that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impairing
or impeding the consummation of the Closing.

Section 5.5 Consents.


 


(a)
During the Pre-Closing Period, each of Buyer and Seller shall, and Seller shall cause the Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts
to give all notices to, and obtain all Consents from, all Persons required pursuant to any Material Contract; provided, however,
that Seller shall not have any obligation to (i) amend or modify any Contract, (ii) pay any consideration or give anything of
value to any Person for the purpose of obtaining any such Consent, or (iii) pay any costs and expenses of any Person resulting from
the process of obtaining such Consent, all of which such costs and expenses, if any, shall be borne exclusively by Buyer, but shall be
subject to Buyer’s prior written approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).


 


(b)
Buyer acknowledges that certain Consents and waivers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from
parties to Contracts to which the Company is party or by which it or its assets are otherwise bound and that such Consents and waivers
may not be obtained prior to Closing and that receipt of any such Consent shall in no event be a condition to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Seller shall not have any liability whatsoever to Buyer arising out of or relating to the failure to
obtain any such Consents or the termination of any Contract as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer acknowledges that
no representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained herein shall be breached or deemed inaccurate or breached, and no condition
shall be deemed not satisfied, as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any such Consent or waiver, (ii) any such termination, or
(iii) any Legal Proceeding commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain
any such Consent or waiver or any such termination.


 


Section 5.6 Governmental
Approvals.


 


(a)
Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 5.6, during the Pre-Closing Period, each of Buyer and Seller shall, and
shall cause its respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain, or cause to be obtained, the Consents of Governmental
Authorities set forth in Section 5.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, including to cause the waiting periods under the HSR
Act to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date after filing, (ii) respond promptly to any requests for information made
by any Governmental Authority, including the FTC or the DOJ, (iii) cooperate fully with the other Parties in promptly seeking to obtain
all such Consents and (iv) not take any action that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding
the receipt of any such Consents. Buyer and Seller shall, as promptly as practicable and, in no event, later than two (2) Business Days
after the date hereof, prepare and file (A) required Notification and Report Forms under the HSR Act with the FTC and the DOJ and
(B) notifications, filings, registrations, submissions or other materials required or necessary to obtain the other Consents of Governmental
Authorities set forth in Section 5.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules. All filings made in connection with the foregoing sentence
shall be made in substantial compliance with the requirements of applicable Law, including Antitrust Laws. All filing fees payable in
connection with the notifications, filings, registrations, submissions or other materials contemplated by this Section 5.6(a) shall
be paid entirely by Buyer.


 






    44 


    


    

 


(b)
To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, each of Buyer and Seller shall (i) promptly notify and furnish the other Party copies
of any material correspondence or communication (including, in the case of any material oral communication, a summary thereof), between
it or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other
hand, or any filing such Party submits to any Governmental Authority, which correspondence, communication or summary thereof shall be
provided, at the option of the Party that is the counterparty to such correspondence, on an outside counsel only basis, (ii) consult
with and permit the other Parties to review in advance any proposed filing and any written or oral communication or correspondence by
such Parties to any Governmental Authority and (iii) consider in good faith the views of such other Parties in connection with any
proposed filing and any written or oral communication or correspondence to any Governmental Authority, in each case, to the extent relating
to the subject matter of this Section 5.6 or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall agree
to, or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to, participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in
respect of any filings, investigation, inquiry or any other matter contemplated by this Section 5.6 or any transaction contemplated
by this Agreement unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives
the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion.


 


(c)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and Seller shall (and Seller shall cause the Company to), use reasonable
best efforts to take any actions necessary to obtain any Consents required under or in connection with the HSR Act and any other Antitrust
Law, and to enable all waiting periods under any Antitrust Law to expire, including promptly complying with or modifying any requests
or inquiries for additional information or documentation (including any second request) by any Governmental Authority.


 


Section 5.7 Resignations.
At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer written resignation letters (the “Resignation Letters”), effective as
of the Closing Date, of each of the officers and directors of the Company, effectuating his or her resignation from such position as
a member of the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) or as officer (although not as an employee unless otherwise so required
pursuant to this Agreement).


 


Section 5.8 Public
Announcements. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by or necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement (including
as required under or in connection with the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Law), prior to Closing, neither Buyer nor Seller (nor any
of their respective Affiliates) shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements or disclosure with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed). Following the Closing, (a) Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliate not to, issue any press release or otherwise
make any public statements or disclosure with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without the prior written consent
of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (b) Buyer shall reasonably consult with Seller before making
any public statements or disclosure with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and give Seller a reasonable opportunity
to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such disclosure is required by applicable Law or the rules of any
stock exchange, any Party seeking to make such disclosure shall promptly notify the other Party thereof and the Parties shall use reasonable
efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.8 shall
not apply to communications to Acquired Company Employees, which shall be governed by Section 5.12(l) or to either Party’s
equityholders, investors, limited partners and Representatives in the ordinary course of business to the extent such Persons have a duty
of confidentiality to such Party.


 






    45 


    


    

 


Section 5.9 Books
and Records. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing, each of Buyer and Seller shall (and Buyer shall cause the Company
to) use reasonable best efforts to (a) give Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, and its Representatives reasonable access during normal
business hours to its Representatives, including employees, books and records and other information with respect to the Company relating
to periods prior to the Closing, for any reasonable purpose, including as may be necessary for (i) the preparation of financial statements
and (ii) complying with any audit request, subpoena or other investigative demand by any Governmental Authority or for any Legal Proceeding
(including any Third-Party Claim pursuant to Article 9), subject in all cases to reasonable restrictions imposed from time to time upon
advice of counsel in respect of applicable Laws relating to the confidentiality of information (including any Antitrust Laws), and (b)
maintain all such books and records in the same or a similar accessible format as currently existing. The access provided pursuant to
this ‎Section 5.9 shall be conducted in such a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the operation of the business
of Buyer and the Company or Seller, as the case may be, and in no event will Buyer, Seller or Company be required to furnish any documents
or information pursuant to this ‎Section 5.9 that are required by any applicable Law or Order to be kept confidential, or
if furnishing such documents or information would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the status of such documents or information as
privileged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Parties are in an adversarial relationship in any Legal Proceeding, the furnishing
of information, documents or records in accordance with this Section 5.9 shall be subject to any applicable rules relating to
discovery.


 


Section 5.10
Confidentiality


 


(a)
The confidentiality provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference as if set forth herein
and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, unless this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, in which case
the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.


 


(b)
From and after the Closing until the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its controlled
Affiliates and Representatives to, keep confidential any and all non-public information relating to the Company; provided, that
the obligations of confidentiality with respect to any non-public information relating to the Company that constitutes a Trade Secret
shall continue for so long as such information is a trade secret; provided, however, that Seller shall not be liable hereunder
with respect to any disclosure to the extent such disclosure is determined by Seller (with the advice of counsel) to be required by any
applicable Law or Order, including applicable rules of any securities exchange. In the event that Seller or any of its respective controlled
Affiliates or Representatives is required by any applicable Law or Order to disclose any such non-public information, Seller shall, (i)
to the extent permissible by such applicable Law or Order, provide Buyer with prompt written notice of such requirement, (ii) disclose
only that information that Seller determines (with the advice of counsel) is required by such applicable Law or Order to be disclosed
and (iii) use reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such non-public information, including by, at Buyer’s request,
reasonably cooperating with Buyer to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will
be accorded such non-public information (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such non-public information
shall not include information that (A) is or becomes available to the public after the Closing other than as a result of a disclosure
by Seller or its respective controlled Affiliates or Representatives in breach of this Section 5.10(b) or (B) becomes available
to Seller or its respective Affiliates or Representatives after the Closing from a source other than Buyer or its Affiliates or Representatives
if the source of such information is not known by Seller or its respective Affiliates or Representatives to be bound by a confidentiality
agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to such
information or (C) is independently developed by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company) without breach of this Section
5.10(b).


 






    46 


    


    

 


(c)
From and after the Closing until the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and
Representatives to, keep confidential any and all non-public information relating to Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company),
including any information that was furnished to Buyer and its Affiliates or Representatives by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the obligations of confidentiality with respect to any non-public
information relating to Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company) that constitutes a Trade Secret shall continue for so long
as such information is a trade secret; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be liable hereunder with respect to any disclosure
to the extent such disclosure is required by Buyer (with the advice of counsel) by any applicable Law or Order, including applicable rules
of any securities exchange. In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is required by any applicable Law or Order
to disclose any such non-public information, Buyer shall, (i) to the extent permissible by such applicable Law or Order, provide Seller
with prompt written notice of such requirement, (ii) disclose only that information that Buyer determines (with the advice of counsel)
is required by such applicable Law or Order to be disclosed and (iii) use reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such
non-public information, including by, at the Seller’s request, reasonably cooperating with the Seller to obtain an appropriate protective
order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such non-public information (at Seller’s sole cost
and expense). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such non-public information shall not include information that (A) is or becomes available
to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Buyer or its Affiliates or Representatives in breach of this Section 5.10(c)
or (B) becomes available to Buyer or its Affiliates or Representatives from a source other than Seller or its Affiliates or Representatives
if the source of such information is not known by Buyer or its Affiliates or Representatives to be bound by a confidentiality agreement
with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, Seller or its Affiliates with respect to such information,
or (C) is independently developed by Buyer or its Affiliates without breach of this Section 5.10(c).


 


Section 5.11 Director
and Officer Indemnification and Insurance.


 


(a)
Buyer agrees that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses pursuant to the Organizational Documents of the
Company, or any indemnification agreement of the Company set forth on Section 5.11(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules to which
any D&O Indemnified Person (as defined below) is party, for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, whether (i) asserted
or claimed prior to, on or after the Closing Date (including in respect of any matters arising in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby), (ii) now existing or (iii) arising prior to Closing, in favor of each Person who is now,
or who has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Closing, a director or officer of the Company (each,
solely in their capacity as such, a “D&O Indemnified Person”) shall survive the Closing Date and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby and remain in full force and effect. For a period of at least six (6) years after the Closing
Date, (A) Buyer shall not, and shall not permit the Company to, adversely amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Company’s
Organizational Documents relating to the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to any D&O Indemnified
Person in connection with acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, whether asserted or claimed prior to, on or after
the Closing Date (including in respect of any matters arising in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby),
it being the intent of the Parties that all such D&O Indemnified Persons shall continue to be entitled to such rights of exculpation,
indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and that no change, modification or amendment
of such documents or arrangements may be made that will adversely affect any such D&O Indemnified Person’s rights thereto without
the prior written consent of such D&O Indemnified Person and (B) Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, maintain in full force
and effect any indemnification agreements of the Company set forth on Section 5.11(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules with a
D&O Indemnified Person.


 






    47 


    


    

 


(b)
Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, at its sole option, either: (i) purchase one or more “tail” insurance policies on its
directors and officers liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”), effective as of the Closing Date, which shall be
obtained and fully paid for by Seller, with claims periods of at least six (6) years from and after the Closing Date, for the persons
who are covered by the Company’s or Seller’s (in respect of the Company) existing D&O Insurance and any other D&O
Indemnified Person, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage (including as coverage relates to deductibles and exclusions)
at least as favorable as the Company’s or Seller’s (in respect of the Company) existing D&O Insurance with respect to
claims for actual or alleged acts or omissions occurring or existing (or alleged to have occurred or existed) at, prior to or after the
Closing Date (including in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), and Seller shall maintain such D&O
Insurance in full force and effect for its full term; or (ii) maintain commercially reasonable types and amounts of D&O Insurance
for six (6) years from the Closing Date, that provides coverage for claims for actual or alleged acts or omissions occurring or existing
(or alleged to have occurred or existed) at, prior to or after the Closing Date by the persons who are covered by the Company’s
or Seller’s (in respect of the Company) existing D&O Insurance at the time of Closing and any other D&O Indemnified Person.


 


(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, the rights and benefits of the D&O Indemnified Persons under
this Section 5.11 shall not be terminated or modified in any manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Person without
the prior written consent of such D&O Indemnified Person. The provisions of this Section 5.11 are intended to be for the benefit
of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Person, his or her heirs and his or her executors, administrators and personal
representatives, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.11, and are in addition to, and not in substitution
for, any other rights, including rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise. For
the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall survive consummation of the Closing.


 


Section 5.12 Employment
and Benefits Arrangements.


 


(a)
Each Acquired Company Employee employed as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Continuing Employees”) shall continue
employment with the Company immediately following the Closing. Continuing Employees shall include Acquired Company Employees who are on
an approved leave of absence under any of the Company’s leave policies for any reason including disability. Prior to the Closing,
Seller shall cause each of the Acquired Company Employees, which list of Acquired Company Employees may be amended prior to Closing as
mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer, other than those individuals who resign or whose employment may be terminated by Seller prior
to the Closing in a manner compliant with Section 5.1, to be employed by the Company either through the transfer of such individuals’
employment or through other means.


 


(b) During the period
commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, or such shorter period as a Continuing
Employee continues employment with Buyer, the Company or their Affiliates following the Closing Date (such period, the
“Protected Period”), the Buyer shall or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Company) (the
“Employing Affiliate”) to provide each Continuing Employee with an annual base salary, target bonus opportunity,
and employee benefits that, in each case, are at least substantially similar in the aggregate to the annual base salary, target
bonus opportunity and employee benefits, respectively, provided to similarly situated employees of the Employing Affiliate. If any
Continuing Employee is on a leave of absence due to disability, Buyer shall or shall cause its Employing Affiliate to use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide a substantially similar level of disability benefits as provided by the Company as of
immediately before the Closing for the period of the disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein, express or
implied, (y) shall be construed to alter or limit the ability of the Employing Affiliate in its sole and absolute discretion,
to terminate the employment relationship of any Continuing Employee at any time and for any reason, including without cause (subject
to the terms of any applicable employment Contract) or (z) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee any right
to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement.


 






    48 


    


    

 


(c)
Following the Closing, with respect to any Continuing Employees or dependents of such employees (collectively the “Affected Participants”)
commencing participation in any employee benefit plans, programs or policies maintained by the Employing Affiliate (each, a “Buyer
Plan”), Buyer shall cause its Employing Affiliate to use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any evidence of insurability
and waiting periods with respect to participation by and coverage in connection with the participation and coverage requirements in connection
with the medical, dental and vision benefits that the Affected Participants may be eligible to receive pursuant to such Buyer Plan after
the Closing; (ii) honor any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by the Affected Participants under the health plans
in which they participated immediately prior to the Closing Date during the portion of the calendar year prior to the Closing Date in
satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under Buyer Plans in the same plan year in which such deductibles, co-payments
or out-of-pocket maximums were incurred; and (iii) waive any preexisting condition limitations otherwise applicable to Affected Participants
under any Buyer Plan that provides health benefits in which the Affected Participants may be eligible to participate following the Closing.
Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in providing such information as is reasonably necessary for Buyer to effect the terms of this Section
5.12(c).


 


(d)
Following the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause each Continuing Employee to receive full credit for such employee’s service with the
Company and Seller and any of their respective predecessors (including, for the avoidance of doubt, entities that were acquired by Seller
or the Company) for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals, under any Buyer Plans in which any such Continuing Employee
participates to the same extent recognized by the Company and/or Benefit Plans and/or Group Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Closing
Date; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a
duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.


 


(e)
As of the Closing Date, each Continuing Employee shall cease participation in the health and welfare benefit plans of Seller and its Affiliates
that are not sponsored or maintained by the Company (each a “Seller Welfare Plan”) and shall commence or continue participation
in the health and welfare plans maintained by the Employing Affiliate. Seller shall be responsible for providing benefits in respect of
claims incurred under a Seller Welfare Plan for Continuing Employees and their beneficiaries and dependents prior to the Closing Date.
Benefits in respect of all welfare plan claims incurred by Continuing Employees on or after the Closing Date shall be provided by Buyer
or one of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 5.12(e), the following claims shall be deemed to be incurred as follows:
(i) life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death or accident giving rise to
such benefits and (ii) health or medical, dental, vision care and/or prescription drug benefits, upon provision of the applicable services,
materials or supplies.


 


(f)   As of the
Closing Date, the account balances of the Continuing Employees under the dependent care account plan of Seller or its Affiliates
(each a “Seller FSA Plan”) shall be transferred to a flexible spending account plan qualified under Section 125
of the Code established or designated by the Employing Affiliate, and the Employing Affiliate shall be responsible for the
obligations of the Seller FSA Plan to provide benefits to the Continuing Employees with respect to such transferred account balances
on and after the Closing Date. Each Continuing Employee shall be permitted to continue to have payroll deductions made as most
recently elected by such Continuing Employee under the Seller FSA Plan for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs. In the
event that the aggregate amount withheld from the Continuing Employees’ compensation with respect to the Seller FSA Plan is
less than the amount reimbursed to the Continuing Employees, Buyer shall remit to the Seller the amount of the unfunded
reimbursements.


 






    49 


    


    

 


(g)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement with respect to the bonus plans in which the Continuing Employees
participate (the “Bonus Plans”), (i) the Seller shall retain any accrued, but unpaid, liabilities with respect to such
plans pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions of such Bonus Plans for all periods of time commencing prior to and ending on the
Closing Date (except for amounts actually included in the calculation of Final Transaction Expenses for such liabilities and also except
for accrued, but unpaid commissions assigned by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller to Buyer pursuant to the Contribution and Assignment
Agreement and actually included in the calculation of Final Net Working Capital) (the “Pre-Closing Bonus Amounts”)
and (ii) the Buyer shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) assume all liabilities with respect to such plans pursuant to the applicable
terms and conditions of such Bonus Plans for all periods of time commencing (A) prior to and ending on the Closing Date to the extent
of such amounts actually included in the calculation of Final Transaction Expenses for such liabilities and (B) after the Closing Date
and thereafter. On or as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date (but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days), Seller
shall pay the Pre-Closing Bonus Amounts to each of the respective Persons entitled to receive such Pre-Closing Bonus Amount in full satisfaction
of its obligations set forth above. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, Buyer shall not be required to continue any
of the Bonus Plans after the Closing.


 


(h)
With respect to each Continuing Employee who, as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, participates in a defined contribution plan
that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code and that is sponsored by the Seller or its Affiliates (a “Seller
DC Plan”), Buyer shall cause the Employing Affiliate, effective as of the Closing Date, to (i) cover such Continuing Employee
under a defined contribution plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code and that is sponsored by the Employing
Affiliate (a “Buyer DC Plan”), (ii) provide in the Buyer DC Plan the same level of fully vested matching contribution
as in the Seller DC Plan, and (iii) cause a Buyer DC Plan to accept participant rollovers of the full value of the accounts (including
participant loans), if so elected by any Continuing Employee. Buyer shall cause the Buyer DC Plan to permit and accept the rollover of
cash and participant loan notes by each Continuing Employee from the Seller DC Plan to the Buyer DC Plan. For the avoidance of doubt,
after the Closing, Continuing Employees will no longer be eligible to participate in the Seller DC Plan, and Seller will retain all Liabilities
related to the Seller DC Plan.


 


(i)   
Following the Closing, Seller will retain all liabilities for any and all claims incurred prior to the Closing for workers compensation
benefits in respect of matters that are covered by Seller’s retained insurance policies and Seller shall have the sole discretion
and authority to defend and direct the defense of any and all such claims.


 


(j)   
Buyer will be responsible for discharging all obligations in respect of the Continuing Employees under the WARN Act and similar applicable
state or local Laws for the notification of any “employment loss” within the meaning of the WARN Act and similar applicable
state or local Laws which occurs after the Closing. Seller shall be responsible for complying with the WARN Act and similar applicable
state or local Laws for the notification of any “employment loss” within the meaning of the WARN Act and similar state or
local Laws with respect to any employees of the Company experiencing an employment loss within the meaning of the WARN Act occurring on
or before the Closing; provided, however, that for at least ninety (90) days following the Closing, Buyer will not, and
it will cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) not to, conduct any mass layoffs, plant closings, relocations,
or other reductions in force following the Closing that would, either alone or when aggregated with any actions taken by the Seller or
the Company prior to the Closing, result in any liability to Seller or the Company under the WARN Act or any similar state or local Laws.


 






    50 


    


    

 


(k)
Seller will be solely responsible for offering and providing COBRA continuation coverage required with respect to all individuals who
experience a qualifying event on or before the Closing. Buyer or one of its Affiliates will be solely responsible for offering and providing
any COBRA continuation coverage required with respect to any Continuing Employee who experiences a qualifying event after the Closing.
“Qualifying event” and “continuation coverage” are as defined in Section 4980B of the Code and the regulations
promulgated thereunder.


 


(l)   
The parties will reasonably cooperate with respect to any communications to Acquired Company Employees regarding the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.


 


(m)
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.12 are included for the sole benefit of
the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right (i) in any other person, including any employees, former employees, any participant
in any Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan or any beneficiary thereof or (ii) to continued employment with the Seller, the Company or Buyer or
any Affiliate, or particular benefits or coverage in any Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan. The provisions of this Section 5.12 shall
not constitute an amendment to any Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan and no Person shall be considered a third party beneficiary of the provisions
of this Section 5.12.


 


Section 5.13 Termination
of Affiliate Agreements. At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall have terminated (or caused to be terminated) all Affiliate Contracts
(other than any Ancillary Agreements and any Affiliate Contracts listed on Section 5.13 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules), in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, such that all obligations and Liabilities thereunder shall be (or deemed to have
been) fully-satisfied prior to the Closing.


 


Section 5.14 Ancillary
Agreements. On the Closing Date, each of Buyer and the Seller shall (and, if applicable, each shall cause its Affiliates to) execute
and deliver each of the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party if such Ancillary Agreement has not been executed prior thereto.


 


Section 5.15 Release
of Guarantees and other Intercompany Obligations.


 


(a)
On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate, release (including a release of all Encumbrances and other security, if any,
over the properties and assets of the Company or the Business securing all such obligations, including any guarantees by the Company of
any of Seller’s obligations), or provide for the removal of, each of the Company’s status as a designated borrower, originator,
party, guarantor or other similar designation under any credit facility or similar agreement of Seller and its Affiliates.


 


(b)
Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take such action and make such payments as may be necessary so that prior to or concurrently
with the Closing, the Company, on the one hand, and the Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company), on the other hand, shall settle,
discharge, offset, pay, repay in full, terminate or extinguish all intercompany loans, notes and advances (collectively, “Intercompany
Balances”) regardless of their maturity, including any accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of payment, for
the amount due. Seller shall deliver to Buyer all promissory notes or other instruments evidencing such Intercompany Balances marked “cancelled.”


 


Section 5.16 Insurance
Coverage.


 


(a) From and after the
Closing, the Company shall cease to be insured by Seller and its Affiliates’ insurance policies or by any of their respective
self-insurance programs going forward from the Closing. From and after the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the
Company) shall retain all rights to control all insurance policies and self-insurance programs, including the right to exhaust,
settle, release, commute, buy back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and self-insurance
programs; provided, that Seller will not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) take any action that would cause the
Company to no longer be eligible for coverage under the Retained Policies (subject to the terms and conditions thereof) in respect
of Pre-Closing Occurrences under occurrence-based (as opposed to claims-made) insurance coverage.


 






    51 


    


    

 


(b)
The Parties acknowledge that the Company may be entitled to the benefit of coverage under occurrence-based insurance policies of the Seller
or its Affiliates (the “Retained Policies”) in effect prior to Closing with respect to any pre-Closing occurrences
(“Pre-Closing Occurrences”). Seller agrees, upon receipt of a written request by Buyer, to use commercially reasonable
efforts to report any and all Pre-Closing Occurrences arising in connection with the Company or the Business (to the extent the amount
of Losses with respect to such Pre-Closing Occurrence was not taken into account in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price in connection
with the Purchase Price adjustment under Section 2.4) and seek recovery in respect thereof to the applicable insurance providers
of Seller or its Affiliates to the extent permitted under the applicable Retained Policy. At Buyer’s written request prior to Closing,
Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to procure reasonable extended claims reporting periods under any claims-made insurance
policies for the benefit of the Company and the Business under any Retained Policies that are written on a claims made basis; provided,
that, Seller shall not be required to obtain such an extended claim reporting period if it adversely affects coverage for Seller.
Buyer will be solely responsible for any premiums, taxes, third party fees, and other external expenses incurred to obtain such extended
claims reporting riders, other than the D&O Insurance.


 


(c)
With respect to claims for Pre-Closing Occurrences made pursuant to this Section 5.16 (or pending as of the Closing Date), (i)
Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of the applicable Retained Policy and Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially
reasonably efforts to comply with the terms of the applicable Retained Policy and (ii) each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates
to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the benefit of the applicable insurance coverage and pay such benefit, if any, to Buyer;
provided, that (A) Buyer shall be fully responsible for and reimburse Seller (without limiting any rights under any other
provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the R&W Insurance Policy) for all uninsured or self-insured amounts in respect
of any Retained Policy claims made at the request of Buyer, including without limitation any increase in retrospective premiums (including
loss of deposit premium amounts and increases in audited premiums of any Retained Policy) and (B) Buyer agrees to reimburse the Seller
promptly upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Seller or any Affiliate of a Seller in connection with
making or pursuing any claim made at the request of Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.16, including the out-of-pocket costs of filing
a claim or any other out-of-pocket amounts that are or become payable by Seller or any Affiliate of a Seller solely as a result of claims
made at the request of Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.16 (such costs and expenses referred to in this clause (B), “Recovery
Costs”). The Parties agree that any recoveries under the Retained Policies pursuant to this Section 5.16 shall inure
first to the Seller and its Affiliates to reimburse any and all Recovery Costs, without duplication of any amounts reimbursed pursuant
to clause (B) above.


 


Section 5.17 R&W
Insurance Policy. During the term of the R&W Insurance Policy, Buyer (i) shall, and shall cause the Company and their
Affiliates, to maintain the R&W Insurance Policy in full force and effect and (ii) shall not amend, terminate, waive or
otherwise modify the R&W Insurance Policy in any manner that would allow the insurer thereunder or any other Person to subrogate
or otherwise make or bring any claim, suit, action or proceeding against the Seller or any of their Affiliates or any past, present
or future Representatives of any of the foregoing based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation,
execution or performance of this Agreement, other than in the case of Fraud by such Person. Buyer shall comply with all requirements
and deliverables for binding as set forth in the R&W Insurance Binder (including delivery of a no claims declaration) and shall
fully pay any and all deposit premiums or other premiums, fees, underwriter and broker expenses or Taxes in connection with the
R&W Insurance Policy that are due and payable when and as due. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure by
Buyer to obtain the R&W Insurance Policy by Closing shall not in any manner increase the liability of the Seller or the Company
otherwise applicable under the provisions in Article 9 hereof.

(a)
Prior to the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a present assignment of Intellectual Property Rights
agreement from the individuals set forth on Section 3.12(g) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, provided, however, that Seller shall
not have any obligation to (i) pay any consideration or give anything of value to any Person for the purpose of obtaining any such consent
or (ii) pay any costs and expenses of any Person resulting from the process of obtaining such consent, all of which such costs and expenses,

Equity Financing on a timely basis on the terms and conditions described in the Equity Commitment Letter and shall not permit any amendment
or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under the Equity Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification
or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing, (ii) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends
or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of any portion of the Equity Financing or (iii) would or would reasonably be expected
to (A) delay or prevent the Closing, (B) make the funding of the Equity Financing less likely to occur or (C) adversely impact the ability

of the Equity Commitment Letter. Buyer shall (i) maintain in effect the Equity Commitment Letter until the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement are consummated, (ii) comply with its obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter in a timely and diligent manner and
(iii) enforce its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter in the event of a breach or other failure to fund the Equity Financing on
the Closing Date, including causing the Sponsor to fund the Equity Financing on the Closing Date (it being understood that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, it is not a condition to Closing under this Agreement for the Buyer to obtain the Equity Financing).

Agreement prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, shall cause the Company to use commercially reasonable
efforts, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their representatives, to provide, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense,
all reasonable cooperation requested by Buyer that is customary in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing to be incurred

participate (including by making members of senior management with appropriate seniority and expertise available to participate) in a
reasonable number of meetings, due diligence sessions, presentations, “road shows”, drafting sessions and sessions with the
rating agencies in connection with the Debt Financing at reasonable times and with reasonable advance notice;


 


provided, however, that
nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the business or the other operations
of Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided, further, that none of Seller, the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be
required to:


 


(A)
take or commit to take any action that is not contingent upon the Closing or enter into any agreement, the provisions of which are or
would be binding upon the Company and effective prior to the Closing;


 


(B)
bear any cost or expense, pay any fee or incur any other payment obligation that is not reimbursed by Buyer or agree to provide any indemnity

and shall promptly pay and reimburse Seller, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives for, any and all (1) costs and
expenses incurred in connection with their cooperation pursuant to this Section 5.19 or the arrangement of the Debt Financing and
any information used in connection therewith and (2) claims asserted in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and any

of Seller, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives. The foregoing indemnification shall survive termination of this
Agreement.

any remittance from any account debtors with respect to any accounts or other receivable or (ii) makes a payment to any third party with
respect to any accounts or other payable, in each case, relating to any part of the Seller’s or its Affiliates’ businesses
(other than the Business or the Company), then, in the case of clause (i), Buyer or such Affiliate of Buyer, as applicable, shall endorse
such remittance to the order of Seller or its Affiliate and forward it to Seller or its Affiliate promptly following receipt thereof
or otherwise have such amount promptly delivered to Seller or its Affiliate and, in the case of clause (ii), Seller or its Affiliate
shall reimburse Buyer or such Affiliate of Buyer for such payment promptly following notice thereof. If, on or after the Closing Date,
Seller or any of its Affiliates (x) receives any remittance from any account debtors with respect to any accounts or other receivable
or (y) makes a payment to any third party with respect to any accounts or other payable, in each case, relating to the Business or the
Company, then, in the case of clause (x), Seller or such Affiliate, as applicable, shall endorse such remittance to the order of Buyer
or such Affiliate and forward it to Buyer or such Affiliate promptly following receipt thereof or otherwise have such amount promptly
delivered to Buyer or such Affiliate and, in the case of clause (y), Buyer or such Affiliate shall reimburse Seller or such Affiliate
of Seller for such payment promptly following notice thereof. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing
and to facilitate the transition of collections as promptly as practicable. The Parties acknowledge and agree there is no right of offset
regarding such payments and a Party may not withhold funds received from third parties for the account of the other Party in the event
there is a dispute regarding any other issue under any agreement to which they are a Party.


 


Section 5.22
Restrictive Covenants.


 


(a)
For a period of four (4) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not, and shall
cause each Seller Restricted Entity not to, directly or indirectly, engage in or own, manage, operate, control or invest in, or participate
in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any Restricted Business or any Person engaged in any Restricted Business; provided
that the prohibitions in this Section 5.22(a) shall not apply to: (i) any acquisition, whether through the acquisition of assets,
securities or other ownership interests or a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization
or other similar transaction, by any Seller Restricted Entity of all or any part of a business or Person that is engaged in the Restricted
Business where the revenues of the acquired Restricted Business (such revenues, “Restricted Revenues”) represent no
more than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate consolidated revenues of such acquired business or Person, as applicable, for such business’s
or Person’s most recently completed fiscal year; provided, that, (A) for any fiscal year of Seller during the Restricted
Period, the aggregate amount of all Restricted Revenues for all such acquired Restricted Businesses, including revenues generated by or
in respect of such acquired Restricted Businesses after the acquisition thereof, may not exceed the lesser of (1) $1,750,000 and (2) five
percent (5%) of the aggregate revenues of the Seller and Seller’s Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for such fiscal year and

firms) which is not directed specifically to any such employees) or hire any Continuing Employee employed by the Company as of
immediately prior to the Closing, or encourage any such employee to leave such employment, except pursuant to general solicitation
(including through the use of recruiting or search firms) which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, however,
for the avoidance of doubt, any such general solicitation shall in no way reduce, modify or otherwise change the no hire limitation
set forth in this Section; and, provided, further, that, nothing in this Section 5.22(b) shall prevent
any Seller Restricted Entity from (i) hiring or soliciting any of the Continuing Employees whose employment has been terminated by
Buyer or any of its Affiliates for cause or who has resigned from his or her employment with Buyer and all of its Affiliates, after
six (6) months from the date of resignation or termination, or (ii) hiring or soliciting any Continuing Employee whose employment

Buyer shall give the applicable Seller Restricted Entity written notice specifying in reasonable detail the action or actions taken that
Buyer believes to be prohibited by this Section 5.22 and such Seller Restricted Entity shall promptly (and in any event, within
thirty (30) days) after receipt of such written notice to cease the prohibited behavior; provided, that no cure right shall apply
to any subsequent breach arising out of the same or substantially similar acts or omissions.


 


(d)
The Seller Restricted Entities acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Section 5.22 are reasonable and necessary to protect
the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.22 should ever be adjudicated to exceed
the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly
empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product
or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.22 and each provision hereof
are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.


 


(e)

or any of its Affiliates (other than Seller or Seller Parent, as applicable) or (ii) to any Person from or after such time that such Person
is not controlled by Seller or Seller Parent, as applicable (including any Person that ceases to be controlled by Seller or Seller Parent,
respectively). For purposes of this Section 5.22(e), the term “control” shall mean the power, authority or ability
of the Company to, directly or indirectly, cause the applicable entity to comply with the applicable terms of this Section 5.22.

TAX MATTERS.


 


Section 6.1 Post-Closing
Tax Returns.


 


(a) Buyer, at its sole
cost and expense, shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the preparation and filing of all Separate Company Tax Returns
with respect to the Company that are required to be filed for any Pre-Closing Tax Period the initial due date of which (taking into
account any extensions) is after the Closing Date and any Straddle Period. To the extent any such Tax Return includes Pre-Closing
Taxes, Buyer shall deliver to the Seller, for its review and comment reasonably in advance of the applicable filing deadline (taking
into account applicable extensions), a copy of the Separate Company Tax Return proposed to be filed. Any such Tax Return shall be
prepared and filed in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Company, this Agreement and without a change of any election
or any accounting method, in each case unless required by applicable Law. The Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of any objections
to any items set forth on such Tax Returns and Buyer shall accept and reflect any reasonable comment that Seller submits to Buyer;
provided, that such comments are in accordance with applicable Law, the past practices of the Company and this Agreement. The Seller
shall advance Seller’s share of Taxes related to such Separate Company Tax Returns (determined in accordance with Section
6.2 with respect to any Straddle Period) at least two (2) days prior to the due date thereof.


 






    56 


    


    

 


(b)
Seller and its Affiliates, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the preparation and
filing of all Tax Returns (and any amendment thereof) of the Seller Consolidated Group (“Seller Consolidated Tax Return”)
and shall pay all Taxes shown as due thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) in no event shall Seller or any
of its Affiliates be required to provide any Person with any Tax Return (or amendment thereof) or copy of any Seller Consolidated Tax
Return (or amendment thereof) and (ii) neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any rights with respect to any audit of, or
dispute with any Tax Authority regarding the Taxes or any Tax Return (or amendment thereof) of (nor shall Buyer or any of its Affiliates
have any rights to any refunds or other benefits of or arising with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns (or amendment thereof) of the
Seller Consolidated Group.


 


Section 6.2 Apportionment.
For purposes of this Agreement, in order to apportion appropriately any Taxes relating to a Straddle Period, the Parties hereto shall,
to the extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period of the
Company for all Tax purposes. For purposes of this computation, the income of each member of the Seller Consolidated Group shall be apportioned
to the period up to and including the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date pursuant to an actual closing the books of the
Company as of the end of the Closing Date pursuant to the principles of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76 and corresponding
provisions under applicable Law provided, however, that any transactions occurring on the Closing Date but after the Closing
other than in the ordinary course of business or as contemplated by this Agreement shall be reported by all parties in accordance with
the next day rule of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) (for the avoidance of doubt, the deemed asset sale resulting
from the Section 338(h)(10) Election made pursuant to Section 6.7 shall not be reported in accordance with the next day rule).
In any case where applicable Law does not permit the Company to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period,
the portion of any Taxes that are allocable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall be (x) in the case of Taxes that are imposed on
a periodic basis, the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis (such
as personal property taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date, and the denominator of which
is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period; and (y) in the case of Taxes not described in (x) (e.g., income
taxes, payroll taxes, sales taxes, gross receipt taxes, etc.), the amount that would be payable if the taxable year or period ended on
(and included) the Closing Date based on an interim closing of the books. For purposes of clause (y) of the preceding sentence, any exemption,
deduction, credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending
on (and including) the Closing Date on a pro rata basis, determined by multiplying the entire amount of such item allocated to the Straddle
Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including)
the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. In the case of any Tax based
upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under
this Section 6.2 shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date.


 






    57 


    


    

 


Section 6.3 Refunds.
Any Tax refunds (and interest thereon) that are received by Buyer or its Affiliates (including for these purposes the Company) for any
Pre-Closing Tax Period, and any amounts credited against Tax (including estimated Tax payments) for any Post-Closing Tax Period,
to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including for these purposes the Company) become entitled, that were borne directly
or indirectly by Seller and are attributable to Pre-Closing Taxes shall be for the account of the Seller, net of all costs (including
Taxes) imposed on or incurred by Buyer or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) with respect thereto. Any such refund of Taxes or credits
against Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing and Post-Closing Tax Periods in accordance
with the principles of Section 6.2. Buyer shall pay over to the Seller any cash refund described in the first sentence of this
Section 6.3 within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, and shall pay over to the Seller the amount of Tax savings realized by
Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including for these purposes the Company) in respect of any credits against Tax described in this Section
6.3 at the time the Tax Return in which such savings are realized is required to be filed by Buyer or such Affiliates, in each case
net of all costs (including Taxes) imposed on or incurred by Buyer or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) with respect to such refund
of Tax. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Seller to make available any Tax Returns (or any other information relating
to Taxes) to Buyer or to file any amended Tax Return or other claim for a refund of Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.


 


Section 6.4 Tax
Cooperation. The Parties and their Affiliates agree to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to each other, upon request, as promptly
as reasonably practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to the Company, as is reasonably
requested for the filing of any Tax Returns, for the application of Section 6.3, and for the preparation of, and for the prosecution
or defense of any Tax audit or Third-Party Claim related to Taxes, including executing and delivering such powers of attorney and other
documents as are necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 6.4; provided that the Seller shall not be required under
this Section 6.4 or any other provision in this Agreement to provide to Buyer any Tax Return of the Seller or any of its Affiliates
(other than the Company) or any Tax Return of the Seller Consolidated Group. Without limiting any other requirements under this Agreement,
Buyer shall cause the Company to timely provide to Seller, in a format determined by Seller that is consistent with past practices, all
information reasonably requested by Seller to prepare the Seller Consolidated Tax Returns to be filed by Seller or any of its Affiliates
(the “Tax Package”) and upon reasonable request by Seller, shall provide Seller with access to the relevant Acquired
Company Employees. The Tax Package with respect to any taxable year shall be provided by Buyer to Seller and shall be prepared on a basis
consistent with the practices of the Seller and its Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall deliver (or cause the Company
to deliver) to Seller the Tax Package for the taxable year ending on the Closing Date no later than thirty (30) days before the date
a Seller Consolidated Tax Return will be filed by Seller or its Affiliates. Any information obtained under this Section 6.4 shall
be kept confidential, except (i) as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in
conducting an audit or other proceeding or defending any Tax claim, or (ii) with the consent of the Parties, as the case may be. The
Parties agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning
before the Closing Date until ninety (90) days after expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or
Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with
any Tax Authority.


 


Section 6.5 Transfer
Taxes. All excise, sales, use, value-added, transfer (including real property transfer or gains), stamp, documentary, filing,
recordation, registration and other similar taxes, together with any interest or penalties thereon, resulting directly from or
imposed in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be
borne equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand. The Party primarily or customarily responsible under the
applicable Law for filing such Tax Returns (or causing such Tax Returns to be filed) will file or cause to be filed all necessary
Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and the other Party and its Affiliates will
(x) reasonably cooperate in the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns and other documentation (including, if required by
applicable Law, joining in (or causing its Affiliates to join in) in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation)
and (y) promptly pay to the filing Party an amount equal to its share of any Transfer Taxes (determined as described above). Buyer
and Seller shall cooperate with each other in order to minimize applicable Transfer Taxes in a manner that is mutually agreeable and
in compliance with applicable Law.


 






    58 


    


    

 


Section 6.6 Tax
Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing, Tax indemnity, Tax allocation and/or similar agreements, arrangements, policies and guidelines,
formal or informal, express or implied, that may exist between (x) the Company, on the one hand, and (y) Seller or its Affiliates, on
the other hand, and all rights and obligations thereunder shall terminate as of the Closing Date, and the Company shall have no rights
or liabilities thereunder.


 


Section 6.7
Tax Contests.


 


(a)
If Buyer or Seller (or any of their respective Affiliates) receives notice of a pending or threatened action, claim, audit, examination,
investigation, contest, administrative proceeding or court proceeding relating to Taxes that could give rise to a claim for indemnification
under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 (each, a “Tax Contest”), then the party first receiving notice of such
Tax Contest shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, however, that the failure of such
party to give such prompt written notice shall not relieve the other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the
extent that the other party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the
basis for such Tax Contest and, to the extent known, the amount thereof and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence
received relating to such Tax Contest.


 


(b)
The Buyer shall control (at its own expense) any Tax Contest with respect to any Separate Company Tax Return; provided that Seller shall
have the right to reasonably participate in such Tax Contest (at Seller’s expense) and that without the prior written consent of
the Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, Buyer shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Contest
if the settlement or compromise is reasonably likely to result in an indemnification obligation for the Seller pursuant to Section
9.2. The Seller shall control (at its own expense) any Tax Contest with respect to any Seller Consolidated Tax Return.


 


Section 6.8 Section
338(h)(10) Election. The Parties hereby agree to join in making (or causing there to be made) an election under Section 338(h)(10)
of the Code (and any such similar elections as may be available under applicable state or local Laws) with respect to the purchase by
Buyer of all of the Company Securities pursuant to this Agreement (such election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any such similar
elections as may be available under applicable state or local laws) the “338(h)(10) Election”). Each Party agrees
to cooperate with the other in the preparation and completion of IRS Form 8023, in the filing of such completed form before the filing
due date, and in the timely completion and filing of all other forms required to effect the 338(h)(10) Election and to take all other
steps necessary in order to effectuate the 338(h)(10) Election in accordance with applicable laws. Unless otherwise required by a final
determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any analogous or similar provision of state or local Law), (i) each
of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, report, act and file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent
with the 338(h)(10) Election, and (ii) no Party shall take any position that is inconsistent with the 338(h)(10) Election. Within 90
days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4, Buyer shall provide the Seller with a proposed
allocation of the “aggregate deemed sale price” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.338-4) among the tangible and
intangible assets of the Company in accordance with Section 338 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and the
allocation methodology set forth on Exhibit 6.8 attached hereto (the “Allocation Methodology”) for Seller’s
review and comment (the “Allocation”). If the Seller does not provide any comments to Buyer in writing within 30 days
following delivery by Buyer of the proposed Allocation, then the Allocation proposed by Buyer shall be deemed to be final and binding,
absent manifest error. If, however, the Seller submits comments to Buyer within such 30-day period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate
in good faith to resolve any differences within 20 days (if any such allocation is finally agreed, the “Agreed Allocation”).
If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution within such 20-day period, then each such Party shall be permitted to make its own
allocations, and shall not be responsible for, or have any liability with respect to, the allocation used by the other Party. If Seller
and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution within such 20-day period, the matter shall be referred to the Accounting Firm for resolution
in accordance with the Allocation Methodology, with such resolution to be considered an Agreed Allocation for all purposes hereunder.
Upon any subsequent adjustments to the sum of the Final Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional consideration
for Tax purposes, the parties shall prepare an updated Allocation in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Agreed Allocation
was prepared. The Parties shall prepare all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Agreed Allocation, and shall take no position
inconsistent with such Agreed Allocation (as updated, if applicable) before any taxing authority unless otherwise required by a final
determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any analogous or similar provision of state or local Law).

Affiliates, Representatives, officers, directors, direct or indirect general or limited partners, equityholders, stockholders, controlling
persons, managers or members; provided, however, that termination pursuant to this Article 8 shall not relieve either
the Parties from such liability (i) pursuant to the sections specified in Section 8.2(a) that survive termination or (ii) for
any Willful Breach of this Agreement arising prior to such termination or for Fraud.


 


Article
9

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY


 


Section 9.1 Non-Survival;
Claims Period.


 


(a)
Each of the representations and warranties and each of the covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms
are to be performed prior to the Closing shall expire (together with any right to assert a claim for breach of such representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement under this Article 9) as of the Closing, provided, however, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the representations and warranties under Section 3.7(ii)(j) and Section 3.15 shall survive the Closing (together
with any right to assert a claim under Article 9) and expire after sixty (60) days following the last day of the expiration of
all applicable statute of limitations with respect to the applicable Tax matter (including any extension thereof); (ii) all covenants
and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed, in whole or in part, after the Closing shall survive
the Closing (together with any right to assert a claim under Article 9) until performed in full or the obligation to perform shall
have expired in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) the limitations set forth in this Section 9.1(a) shall not
apply in the event of any Fraud on the part of the Indemnifying Party and any claims due to Fraud shall survive the Closing indefinitely.


 


(b)
No claim by any Indemnified Party for indemnity pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 shall be first made by an Indemnified
Party after sixty (60) days following the last day of the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation with respect to the matter
that is the subject of the applicable claim (including any extension thereof) (the “Indemnification Expiration Date”);
provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 9.1(b), any claims asserted in
good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying
Party prior to the Indemnification Expiration Date shall not thereafter be barred by the occurrence of the Indemnification Expiration
Date, and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the survival periods
set forth in this Section 9.1 shall not affect or otherwise limit any claim for coverage made or available to any Indemnified Party
under the R&W Insurance Policy.


 


Section 9.2 Indemnification
by Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 9, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless each of Topco, Topco’s Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement to the extent such Persons remain
Subsidiaries at the time of a claim, Buyer, the Company and their respective successors and assigns and each of their respective, managers,
officers, directors and employees (the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses which they suffer,
sustain, or become subject to arising from, as a result of, or in connection with:


 


(a)
any Seller Indemnified Taxes; and


 


(b)
any Liability of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than the Company) to the extent such Liability is not an Assumed Liability.


 






    63 


    


    

 


Section 9.3 Indemnification
by Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 9, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Seller and its successors and assigns, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents
and Representatives (the “Seller Indemnitees”) against any and all Losses which they suffer, sustain, or become subject
to arising from, as a result of, or in connection with, any Buyer Indemnified Taxes.


 


Section 9.4 Limitations
and Other Matters Relating to Indemnification.


 


(a)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless,
pay or reimburse any indemnitee, as applicable, under this Article 9, or otherwise be liable in connection with the subject matter
of this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, for any Losses
that are punitive, exemplary or treble, except to the extent any such Losses are actually awarded in respect of a Third-Party Claim.


 


(b)
The amount of any Losses that are subject to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article 9 shall be reduced
by the amount of any insurance proceeds (including the R&W Insurance Policy) and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment
actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses or any of the events, conditions, facts or circumstances resulting
in or relating to such Losses (“Third-Party Payments”), to the extent exceeding any deductible, de minimis or other
amount not recoverable from the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If an Indemnified Party receives any Third-Party Payment with respect to
any Losses for which it has previously been indemnified (directly or indirectly) by an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall
promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days after receiving such Third-Party Payment) pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount
equal to such Third-Party Payment or, if it is a lesser amount, the amount of such previously indemnified Losses, in each case, net of
any deductibles borne or paid, fees, costs or expenses and increases in premiums or retro-active premium costs associated with such recovery.
The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies (including the R&W Insurance
Policy) or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements other than this Agreement for any Losses to the same extent such Party
would if such Losses were not subject to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder; provided, that, such
efforts shall not require the Indemnified Party to initiate any Legal Proceeding.


 


(c) Each of Buyer and
Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and minimize any
Losses subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 promptly upon acquiring actual knowledge of the material facts
constituting the principal basis for any claim that would reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise to such Losses. Without
limiting the foregoing obligations of each Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the Indemnified
Party’s rights of recovery against any Person (other than (i) any Buyer Indemnitee or (ii) any current customer, supplier,
reseller, distributor, director, manager, officer, employee, contractor or consultant of any of the foregoing), to the extent of the
amount of any Losses satisfied by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonably efforts (at the
sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party) to execute and deliver such instruments and papers as are necessary to assign such
rights and assist in the exercise thereof.


 



    64 


    


    




 


(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Buyer or Seller be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay
or reimburse any Indemnified Party for the amount of any Losses under this Article 9 to the extent such amount of Losses were taken
into account in the determination of and the calculations set forth in the Final Adjustment Report pursuant to Section 2.4 (the
purpose and intent of the foregoing to prevent “double-recovery” of the amount such Losses).


 


Section 9.5 Indemnification
Procedures.


 


(a)
All claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section
9.5. A Person entitled to indemnification (a “Claim”) pursuant to this Article 9 (an “Indemnified
Party”) shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of any such Claim (a “Claim Notice”), which notice
shall include a description in reasonable detail (to the extent then-known) of (i) the basis for, and nature of, such Claim, including
the material facts constituting the basis for such Claim, and (ii) the estimated amount of the Losses that have been or are reasonably
expected to be sustained by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim. Any Claim Notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party
to the Indemnifying Party, (A) in the case of a Claim in connection with any Legal Proceeding made or brought by any Person (other
than Buyer or Seller in connection with this Agreement) against such Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), reasonably
promptly, but in any event not later than twenty (20) Business Days, following receipt of notice of the assertion or commencement of such
Legal Proceeding, and (B) in the case of a Claim other than a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), reasonably
promptly, but in any event not later than twenty (20) Business Days, after the Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of the material
facts constituting the principal basis for such Direct Claim; provided, however, that no failure or delay to give such prompt
written notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder except and only to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure or delay. The Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will cooperate
in good faith to resolve any Direct Claim for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days before commencing any Legal Proceeding in
connection with such Direct Claim. For purposes of any procedural matters under this Section 9.5, including the delivery of any
Claim Notice and the resolution of any Claim, “Indemnifying Party” means Buyer (in the case of a claim for indemnification
by any Seller Indemnitee) or the Seller (in the case of a claim for indemnification by any Buyer Indemnitee).


 


(b) With respect to any
Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (subject to Section 9.5(d)), by giving written notice to the
Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim Notice with respect to such Third-Party Claim, to assume
control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense with counsel of its choosing,
which notice shall state the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume control of such defense (provided, however,
that Buyer shall have no right to assume control of a Third-Party Claim that involves a consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return
which includes Seller or any of its Affiliates). The Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, that is not
controlling such defense shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim
with counsel selected by it. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume in writing control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim
(or if such Third-Party Claim involves a consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return which includes Seller or any of its
Affiliates, and the Indemnifying Party is Buyer), the Indemnified Party may control the defense of such Third-Party Claim with
counsel of its choosing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and
expenses of such counsel to the Indemnified Party. Each of Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection
with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including by retaining and providing to the Party controlling such defense records and
information that are reasonably necessary for the defense of such Third-Party Claim and such records and information shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 5.10 and making available employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing
additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case
may be, that is controlling such defense shall keep the other Party reasonably advised of the status of such Legal Proceeding and
the defense thereof.


 






    65 


    


    

 


(c)
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 9 to the contrary, (i) an Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of
any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), unless such settlement would (A) include a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities
or obligations with respect thereto, (B) not impose any liability or obligation (including any equitable remedies) on the Indemnified
Party and (C) not involve a finding or admission of any wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party, and (ii) an Indemnified
Party shall not agree to any settlement of a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.


 


(d)
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 9 to the contrary (but subject to Article 6), if (i) defendants in any Legal Proceeding
include any Buyer Indemnitee and the Seller, and any Buyer Indemnitee shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be material
legal defenses available to such Buyer Indemnitee inconsistent with those available to the Seller, (ii) a conflict of interest exists
between any Buyer Indemnitee and the Seller with respect to any Claim or the defense thereof, (iii) the third party seeks an injunction,
specific performance or other equitable or non-monetary relief, in whole or in part, or resolution of such Claim could reasonably be expected
to result in a material or negative effect on the Business or the Company, (iv) the Third Party Claim alleges or may give rise to Losses
that are subject to coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy or (v) the Third-Party Claim seeks to impose criminal liability on any
Buyer Indemnitee; then, in each such case, if the Buyer Indemnitee, in its sole discretion so elects, it shall be entitled to employ separate
counsel of its own choosing and to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim, but the fees and expenses of counsel so employed shall
be borne solely by the Buyer Indemnitee if the resolution or settlement of such Claim ultimately fails to result in indemnifiable Losses.


 


(e)
For the avoidance of doubt, Section 6.7 shall exclusively govern the notice, conduct, control and procedural requirements with
respect to any Tax Contest and this Section 9.5 shall not apply.


 


Section 9.6 Tax
Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Article 9 or Article 6 shall be
deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.


 


Section 9.7 Exclusive
Remedy; No Duplication; No Set-off. From and after the Closing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (other than claims
arising from Fraud in connection with this Agreement and any claims or rights arising under or with respect to the R&W Insurance
Policy or any Ancillary Agreement) (i) Section 2.4, this Article 9 and Article 6 shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy of Buyer and Seller in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby, (ii) neither Buyer nor Seller shall be liable or responsible in any manner whatsoever (whether for indemnification or
otherwise) to any Indemnified Party for a breach of this Agreement, any breach of a representation or warranty contained herein, or
in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the purchase
of the Company Securities pursuant hereto, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions or other rights of recovery set forth
in Section 2.4, this Article 9 and Article 6, and (iii) each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims, causes of action, suits, demands and Legal Proceedings (A) for any
breach of any representation, or warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or (B) otherwise relating to, arising
from or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, that it may
have against the other Party and any of such Party’s Affiliates or Representatives arising under or based upon any applicable
Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions or other rights of recovery set forth in Section 2.4, this Article
9 and Article 6; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.7 shall limit the rights or
remedies of, or constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies by, any Party pursuant to (or shall otherwise operate to interfere
with the operation of) Section 2.4 or Section 10.11 or in the case of Fraud

of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne

Section 10.6 Severability.
If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in any situation or in any jurisdiction,
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other term or provision
hereof or the offending term or provision in any other situation or any other jurisdiction, so long as the economic or legal substance
of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon any 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 a mutually acceptable manner, in order that
the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except to the extent provided in Section 5.11, Article 9 and Section 10.14 (the provisions
of which shall inure to the benefit of the Persons referenced therein as third-party beneficiaries of such provisions), this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing
in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable rights,

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by
any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties and any purported assignment or delegation in contravention of this

and permitted assigns.


 


Section 10.9 Governing
Law. This Agreement and all matters, claims, controversies, disputes, suits, actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to
this Agreement and the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including
all rights of the Parties (whether sounding in contract, tort, common or statutory law, equity or otherwise) in connection therewith,
shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with, and enforced pursuant to, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware
without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction)
that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.


 


Section 10.10 Consent
to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial 


 


(a)
Each of the Parties hereby (i) agrees and irrevocably consents to submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of
the State of Delaware, and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or if the Chancery Court of the State of
Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen
Courts”) in any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of
this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of any such Legal Proceeding will
be heard and determined in the Chosen Courts, (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or
other request for leave from the Chosen Courts, (iv) agrees not to bring or support any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether in contract, tort, common or statutory law, equity or
otherwise) anywhere other than the Chosen Courts and (v) agrees that a final and non-appealable judgment in any such Legal Proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.
For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence (A) shall not limit the jurisdiction of the Accounting Firm as set forth in ‎Section
2.4 and (B) shall include any Legal Proceeding brought for the purpose of enforcing the jurisdiction and judgments of the Accounting
Firm. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Legal Proceeding brought in any Chosen Court
in accordance with this Section 10.10(a). Each of the Parties agrees that the service of any process, summons, notice or document
in connection with any such Legal Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable
Law, will be valid and sufficient service thereof.


 






    69 


    


    

 


(b)
EACH PARTY (I) ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING THAT MAY ARISE UNDER OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND (II) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED
TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, (C) UNDERSTANDS
AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER AND (D) MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY.


 


Section 10.11 Remedies.


 


(a)
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative
with and not exclusive of any other remedy expressly conferred hereby, and the exercise by a Party of any one such remedy will not preclude
the exercise of any other such remedy.


 


(b)
The Parties agree that irreparable damage and harm would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with its terms and that, although monetary damages may be available for such a breach, monetary damages would be an inadequate
remedy therefor. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this
Agreement by any such Party, Buyer or the Seller shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable
relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches hereof and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof. A Party
seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof shall
not be required to provide, furnish or post any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such order
or injunction, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the provision, furnishing or posting of any such
bond or other security. In the event that any Legal Proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement,
each Party agrees that it shall not allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy available at law.


 


(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that Seller shall be entitled to seek specific performance of Buyer’s obligation to
cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the Closing if, but only if, (i) the conditions set forth in Section 7.1
‎and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing)
or have been waived by Buyer, (ii) Seller has irrevocably confirmed to Buyer in writing that, if specific performance is granted and the
Equity Financing is funded, Seller is prepared to consummate the Closing, and (iii) Buyer fails to consummate the Closing by the later
of (A) two (2) Business Days following the date of the notice described in clause (ii) and (B) the date the Closing is required to have
occurred in accordance with Section 2.3.


 


(d)
For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of Seller’s right to seek specific performance or other equitable relief
pursuant to this Section 10.11 reduce, restrict, or otherwise limit Seller’s right to terminate this Agreement and seek and
receive damages.


 






    70 


    


    

 


(e)
If any Party brings a Legal Proceeding pursuant to Section 10.10 to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions
of this Agreement (other than a Legal Proceeding to enforce specifically any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement)
when expressly available to such Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended to
the later of (i) the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the resolution of such Legal Proceeding or (ii) such
other time period established by the court or arbitral tribunal presiding over such Legal Proceeding, respectively.

course of business for purposes of this Agreement.

participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement with the benefit of competent legal representation, and the
language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent. In the
event that an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by

to which such sections of the Seller Disclosure Schedules or Buyer Disclosure Schedules, as applicable, relate; provided, however,
that the disclosure of any information in any section of such schedules shall also constitute disclosure for purposes of all other Sections
of this Agreement with respect to which such disclosure, as it relates to such other Section(s) of this Agreement, is reasonably apparent
on its face.

Losses and Liabilities whatsoever, of every name and nature, both at law and in equity, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, that have
been or could have been asserted against any Released Seller Person, that any Releasing Buyer Person has or ever had, that arises out
of or in any way relates to facts, matters, events, circumstances, actions or inactions arising, occurring, existing, taken or omitted,
in whole or in part, prior to or as of the Closing, arising from, relating to, in respect of or in connection with the Company or any
of its assets or properties, the Company Securities or the Business; provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and

Section 10.15 Provision
Regarding Legal Representation. Recognizing that DLA Piper LLP (US) (“Seller’s Counsel”) has acted as legal
counsel to Seller Parent, Seller, the Company and their Affiliates prior to date hereof, and that Seller’s Counsel intends to act
as legal counsel to Seller and its respective Affiliates (which will no longer include the Company) after the Closing, Buyer hereby waives
(on its own behalf) and agrees to cause their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) to waive, any conflicts arising
under such representation that may prevent Seller’s Counsel from representing Seller or any of its respective Affiliates after
the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer and the Company or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between Seller, the Company and
their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller’s Counsel, on the other hand, in the course of the negotiation, documentation
and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Seller
and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company). Accordingly, the Company shall not have access to any such communications or to
the files of Seller’s Counsel relating to such engagement from and after the Closing, and no actions taken by Seller or any of
its Affiliates or Representatives to retain, remove or otherwise protect such communications will be deemed a breach or violation of
this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (a) Seller and its respective Affiliates
(and not the Company) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement in the negotiation,
documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Company shall not be a holder thereof, (b) to the
extent that files of Seller’s Counsel in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Seller and its respective
Affiliates (and not the Company) shall hold such property rights and (c) Seller’s Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to
reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any of the Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship
between Seller’s Counsel and the Company or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
nothing contained in this Section 10.15 waives or transfers any attorney-client privilege to the extent relating to Seller’s
Counsel representation of the Company with respect to any of their on-going or routine matters relating to their operations, business,
assets or liabilities (other than in preparation for or otherwise related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement) and such attorney-client and other privileges shall continue to be the privilege of the Company.
