&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any trade or service mark, business or domain name, design or logo which, at Completion, is or has been used by the Target in connection with any part of the business; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) anything which, in the reasonable opinion of the Buyer, is capable of confusion with the words, marks, names, relevant designs or logos referred to in clause 11.2(f)(i) or 11.2(f)(ii),

save that the Seller's Group may use the name "Interworks" in the following contexts:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) in the context of referring to the Seller's Group's business as being "formerly part of Interworks" or similar phrase;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) where existing contracts are still in the name of the Target but have been demerged pursuant to the terms of the Final Demerger Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.3 The parties agree that the restrictive covenants set out in clause 11.2 apply solely to technology distribution and reseller activities and shall not restrict the Seller, VZ and/or AK from engaging in any other business, role, or investment, including software, SaaS, platforms, services, marketplaces, automation, revenue-share models, or advisory activities. For the avoidance of doubt, providing software, platforms, or services to distributors does not constitute technology distribution. Further, none of the Seller, VZ and/or AK are restricted from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) working with distributors, MSPs, system integrators, or vendors in any other capacity, including but not limited to advisory, services, implementation, consulting, enablement, or technology partnerships;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) engaging in non-reselling or non-distribution activities, even where such activities involve overlapping customers, partners, or markets; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) continuing or entering into relationships with third-party vendors or partners where such relationships are not in competition with the business of the Target as carried on at Completion.

Nothing in clause 11.2 shall be construed as preventing the Seller from carrying on its existing business or expanding into adjacent or complementary activities, provided that it does not directly compete with the Target's reselling and distribution operations as carried on at Completion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.4 The restrictions contained in this clause 11 are considered to be reasonable by the Seller in all respects but if any of those restrictions are held to be void in the circumstances where it would be valid if some part were deleted, the parties agree that such restrictions shall apply with such deletion as may be necessary to make it valid and effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.5 The Seller acknowledges that the Buyer is accepting the benefit of the covenants contained in this clause 11 both on its own behalf and on behalf of each member of the Buyer's Group and the Target with the intention that the Buyer may claim against the Seller on behalf of any such person for loss sustained by that person as a result of any breach of any of the covenants contained in this clause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.6 Clauses 11.2(a) to 11.2(f) are separate and severable and shall be enforceable accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.7 The consideration for the covenants contained in clauses 11.2(a) to 11.2(f) is included in the Consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) owed to, or arising in relation to, employees, workers, consultants, directors or officers of the Carved-Out Business (including statutory and contractual rights under Greek employment law), such as wages, salaries, bonuses, accrued holiday, pension contributions, termination payments, and claims for unfair dismissal, discrimination, health and safety breaches, or any other employment-related matter;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) owed under any leases, licences, financing arrangements or other contracts relating to the Carved-Out Business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) owed to Greek or other governmental, municipal or regulatory authorities (excluding tax), including obligations under employment, health and safety, data protection, product compliance, and environmental laws and regulations, to the extent relating to acts, omissions, circumstances or events occurring prior to Completion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) arising from any litigation, arbitration, mediation, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding (actual, threatened or contingent) relating to the Carved-Out Business, in each case to the extent relating to matters arising prior to Completion,

but in each case, only to the extent relating exclusively to the Carved-Out Business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any of the Redemption Statements being incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any requirement by the Target to repay any amounts received prior to Completion in respect of its investment plans and grants as a result of either (i) any act or omission of the Target occurring prior to Completion or (ii) the sale and purchase of the Target by the Buyer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2 The indemnity in clause 12.1 shall not extend to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any liability to Tax, which is dealt with under the Tax Covenant; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any liability expressly assumed by the Buyer under this Agreement,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) and shall remain in full force and effect without limitation in time, provided that no claim may be brought if and to the extent the relevant liability has been fully discharged, satisfied, settled or otherwise remedied by the Seller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.3 Any amount payable by the Seller in respect of an Indemnity Claim shall be paid in full within fifteen (15) Business Days of written demand by the Buyer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.4 The Buyer must take reasonable steps to mitigate or minimise any liability, without prejudice to its rights of recovery under clause 12.1, including giving notice as soon as reasonably practicable of the matter giving rise to any potential liability to the Seller, and taking into account the reasonable requests of the Seller in dealing with the matter. If the Buyer recovers from a third party (including insurers) any sum in respect of a liability already indemnified by the Seller, it shall as soon as reasonably practicable account to the Seller for such recovery, less all reasonable costs and expenses of recovery and any Tax payable thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.5 The Buyer shall give to the Seller prompt notice of any matter giving rise to a potential Indemnity Claim.

| **13** | **CONFIDENTIALITY AND USE OF NAMES** |

---

The Seller undertakes to the Buyer, the Target and each member of the Buyer's Group that it shall treat as strictly confidential the terms of this agreement and the other Transaction Documents and that it shall not at any time after the date of Completion disclose or use or permit there to be disclosed or used any Confidential Business Information which it has or acquires provided that this clause shall not apply if and to the extent that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) such Confidential Business Information has ceased to be confidential or come into the public domain (other than as a result of breach of any obligation of confidence by Seller or any of their respective associates); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any disclosure of such Confidential Business Information has been authorised in advance in writing by the Buyer; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) disclosure of the Confidential Business Information concerned is required by any applicable law or regulatory body.

| **15** | **GENERAL** |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.1 **Announcements:** the parties shall not make or authorise any announcement concerning the terms of or any matters contemplated by or ancillary to this agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.2 **Assignment:** Other than as permitted by clauses 15.3 and 15.4, no party may assign, transfer, charge, make the subject of a trust or deal in any other manner with any of its rights under this agreement and/or any other Transaction Document or purport to do any of the same without the prior written consent of the other parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.3 Notwithstanding clause 15.2, the Buyer may assign any of its rights under this agreement and/or any other Transaction Document without any requirement for consent to any member of the Buyer's Group provided that the Buyer shall procure that any such member to whom it assigns any of its rights under this clause shall re-assign all such rights to the Buyer immediately prior to it ceasing to be a member of the Buyer's Group. Any assignment made pursuant to this clause shall be subject to the following terms:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) no such assignment shall relieve the Buyer of any of its obligations under this agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the assignee acknowledges that the Seller may continue to deal exclusively with the Buyer in respect of all matters relating to this agreement at all times.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.4 Notwithstanding clause 15.2, the Buyer may assign by way of security any of its rights under this agreement and/or any other Transaction Document to any bank and/or any financial institution lending money or making banking facilities available to the Buyer in connection with the acquisition of the Shares or otherwise.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.5 **Entire agreement:** This agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to its subject matter and supersede any previous agreements or arrangements between them relating to the same.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.6 Each party agrees that it has not entered into this agreement or any other Transaction Document in reliance on any representation, statement, covenant, warranty or undertaking made or given by or on behalf of any other party except as expressly set out in this agreement or any other Transaction Document. For the purposes of this clause, each party waives any claim or remedy or right in respect of any representation, statement, covenant, warranty or undertaking made or given by or on behalf of any other party unless and to the extent that a claim lies for breach of this agreement or any other Transaction Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.7 Nothing in clauses 15.5 or 15.6 shall operate to exclude or limit any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.8 **Variation:** No variation of this agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of the parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.9 **Waiver**: A waiver of any right or remedy under this agreement or by law is only effective if it is given in writing. Any such waiver shall apply only to the circumstances for which it is given and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.10 A failure or delay by any person to exercise any right or remedy provided under this agreement or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under this agreement or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.11 **Notices:** Any notice or other communication given under this agreement shall be in writing, in the English language and signed by or on behalf of the party giving it and shall be served by delivering it by hand or sending it by pre-paid recorded delivery or registered post (or registered airmail in the case of an address for service outside the United Kingdom) or by email (provided that the sender has received a delivery receipt notification, and has not received an out-of-office reply or failure to send notification) to the party due to receive it, to its address or email address set out in clause 15.12.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.12 The addresses and email addresses of the parties for the purposes of this clause are:

in the case of the Seller:<br>For the attention of: [\*\*\*]<br>Email: [\*\*\*]<br>Address: [\*\*\*]<br>with a copy by email (which shall not constitute notice) sent to:<br>the Seller's Solicitors<br>Email: [\*\*\*]<br>

------

in the case of the Buyer:<br>Address: [\*\*\*]<br>For the attention of: [\*\*\*]<br>Email address: [\*\*\*]<br>with a copy by email (which shall not constitute notice) sent to:<br>the Buyer's Solicitors<br>Email: [\*\*\*]<br>

in the case of VZ:

Address: [\*\*\*]

Email address: [\*\*\*]

in the case of AK:

Address: [\*\*\*]

Email address: [\*\*\*]

or such other address or email address as may be notified in writing from time to time by the relevant party to the other parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.13 Subject to clause 15.14, in the absence of evidence of earlier receipt, any notice or other communication given pursuant to this clause shall be deemed to have been received:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if delivered by hand, at the time of actual delivery to the address referred to in clause 15.12;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) in the case of pre-paid recorded delivery or registered post within the United Kingdom, two Business Days after the date of posting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) in the case of registered airmail, five Business Days after the date of posting; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) if sent by email, at the time of receipt by the sender of the email delivery receipt (provided that the sender has received a delivery receipt notification, and has not received an out-of-office reply or failure to send notification).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.14 If deemed receipt under clause 15.13 occurs before 9.00 am on a Business Day, the notice shall be deemed to have been received at 9.00 am on that day. If deemed receipt occurs on any day which is not a Business Day or after 5.00 pm on a Business Day, the notice shall be deemed to have been received at 9.00 am on the next Business Day. For the purposes of this clause, all references to time are to local time in the place of deemed receipt.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.15 For the avoidance of doubt, notice given under this agreement shall be validly served if sent by email. However, clauses 15.11 to 15.14 shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action or, where applicable, any arbitration or other method of dispute resolution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.16 In proving such service, it shall be sufficient to prove that the envelope containing such notice was correctly addressed and delivered either to that address or into the custody of the postal authorities in the required form.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.17 **Survival of provisions:** Except where this agreement provides otherwise, the provisions of this agreement insofar as they have not been performed at Completion shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding Completion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.18 **Further assurance:** At all times after Completion, the Seller shall, at its own expense, sign and execute all such documents and do all such acts and things as the Buyer may reasonably require for the purpose of giving full effect to this agreement (other than admitting liability under any provision of this agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.19 **Severance:** If any provision or part of any provision of this agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable under the law of any jurisdiction, that shall not affect or impair:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this agreement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the legality, validity or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction of that or any other provision of this agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.20 **Third party rights:** Save as otherwise provided in this agreement, a person who is not a party to this agreement shall have no right to enforce this agreement pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.21 **No partnership or agency:** Nothing in this agreement and no action taken by the parties under it shall be deemed to constitute any partnership, agency, association, joint venture or other co-operative enterprise between the parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.22 **Costs:** Except where this agreement provides otherwise each party shall pay its own costs relating to or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and performance by it of this agreement and each Transaction Document and the transactions contemplated by this agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.23 **Interest:** Other than as set out in this agreement, if any party fails to pay in full on the due date any amount which is payable to the other party pursuant to this agreement then the amount outstanding shall bear interest both before and after any judgment at 3% per annum over the Bank of England base rate from time to time from the due date until up to and including the date payment is made in full. Such interest shall be compounded and accrued on a daily basis.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.24 **Rights and Remedies**: Except as expressly provided in this agreement, the rights and remedies provided under this agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.25 **Inadequacy of Damages**: Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the Buyer may have, the Seller acknowledges and agrees that damages alone may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the terms of clause **  11 or clause 13 by the Seller. Accordingly, the Buyer may be entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of the terms of those clauses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.26 **Gross-up**: All amounts payable under this agreement from the Seller to the Buyer shall be paid in full, without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax required by law). If any deductions or withholdings are required by law to be made from any of the sums payable under this agreement, the Seller shall provide any evidence of the relevant withholding as the Buyer may reasonably require and shall pay to the Buyer any sum as will, after deduction or withholding is made, leave the Buyer with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive without that deduction or withholding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.27 If any sum payable by the Seller to the Buyer under this agreement is subject to Tax in the hands of the Buyer, the Seller shall pay any additional amount required to ensure that the net amount received by the Buyer shall be the amount that the Buyer would have received if the payment was not subject to Tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.28 If the Buyer assigns or otherwise transfers the benefit of this agreement, the Seller shall not be liable under clause 15.26 or 15.27, except if and to the extent that the Seller would have been so liable had that assignment not occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.29 **Counterparts and E-Signatures:** This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties on separate counterparts, but shall not become effective until the parties have delivered executed counterparts to each other. Counterparts may be delivered in person or remotely via post or by email attachment. Each counterpart shall constitute an original and together shall constitute a single agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.30 The parties consent to the execution by or on behalf of each other party to this agreement by electronic signature, provided that such manner of execution is permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.31 The parties:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) agree that an executed copy of this agreement may be retained in electronic form; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) acknowledge that such electronic form shall constitute an original of this agreement and may be relied upon as evidence of this agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Shares constitute the entire issued share capital of the Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the settlement or compromise of the Excluded Claim for Tax which is the subject of the action; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the agreement of any matter in the conduct of the action which is likely to affect the amount of the Excluded Claim for Tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.8 The Buyer shall (or shall procure that the Target shall) provide all information and assistance as the Seller may reasonably require to allow it to exercise its rights under this paragraph 7.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.9 If at any time the Seller has not exercised the election referred to in paragraph 7.7 but requests that the Target take any action referred to in paragraph 7.6 the provisions of paragraph 7.7 shall apply as if references to the "Seller" are references to the "Buyer" and vice versa.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3 If any payment under the Tax Covenant is subject to Tax in the hands of the Buyer (other than Tax attributable to the payment being properly treated as an adjustment to the consideration paid by the Buyer for the Target or one of interest) the Seller shall within seven days' notice in writing being served on it by the Buyer pay to the Buyer any further amount as shall ensure that the net amount received in respect of the payment after Tax is the same as it would have been had the payment not been subject to Tax (and after giving credit for any relief from or credit in respect of Tax available to the Buyer in respect of the payment or the matter giving rise to the payment).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 The Seller shall not be obliged to pay any additional amount under paragraph 9.2 or 9.3 in respect of any deduction or withholding or any Tax as a result of any action of the Buyer or in the event that the Buyer assigns the whole or any part of the benefit of this agreement.

| **10** | **OVERPROVISIONS, SAVINGS AND REPAYMENTS** |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1 If within seven years of Completion or, if later, the date which is six months after the last date on which the Seller is required to make a payment under an Excluded Tax Claim the Buyer becomes aware that there may have been an Overprovision or that the Target or a member of the Buyer's Group has or may have obtained a Repayment or Saving, the Buyer shall (or shall procure that the Target shall) as soon as reasonably practicable, inform the Seller of that fact.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2 The Seller may request at the Seller's sole cost and expense that the Auditors determine whether or not there has been any Overprovision, Repayment or Saving and the Buyer (at the Seller's sole cost and expense) shall procure that the Auditors are instructed to provide their determination as soon as practicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3 In carrying out the determination referred to in paragraph 10.2 the Auditors shall act as experts and not as arbitrators and (in the absence of manifest error) their decision shall be final and binding on the parties to this agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.4 If the Auditors determine that there has been an Overprovision, Repayment or Saving then the amount of the Overprovision, Repayment or Saving (the **"Relevant Amount"**) is to be dealt with in accordance with this paragraph 10.4:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Relevant Amount shall first be set off against any payment due from the Seller under an Excluded Tax Claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to the extent there is an excess of the Relevant Amount after any amounts have been set off under paragraph (a), a refund shall be made to the Seller of any previous payment or payments made by the Seller under an Excluded Tax Claim and not previously refunded under this paragraph (b) up to the amount of any excess; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) to the extent that the excess referred to in paragraph (b) is not exhausted under that paragraph, the remainder of that excess shall be carried forward to set off against any future payments to be made by the Seller under an Excluded Tax Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.5 Where any determination as is mentioned in paragraph 10.2 has been made, the Seller or the Buyer may (at the requesting party' expense) instruct the Auditors to review that determination in the light of all relevant circumstances, including any facts which have become known only since the determination, and to determine whether the determination remains correct or whether, in the light of those circumstances, the amount that was the subject of the determination should be amended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.6 If the Auditors determine under paragraph 10.2 that an amount previously determined should be amended, that amended amount shall be substituted for the purposes of paragraph 10.2 as the Relevant Amount in respect of the determination in question in place of the amount originally determined, and any adjusting payment (if any) as may be required by virtue of the above mentioned substitution shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable by the Seller or the Buyer as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.7 The Buyer will procure that the Target uses any Relief available to it which would give rise to a Repayment or Saving as soon as it is reasonably practicable for the Target to do so.

| **11** | **RECOVERY FROM OTHER PERSONS** |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1 If the Seller has paid an amount in discharge of an Excluded Tax Claim and:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Target or the Buyer is entitled to recover from any other person (including but not limited to a Tax Authority and under the W&I Policy) any sum in respect of any matter covered by an Excluded Tax Claim; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Seller has first agreed to indemnify the Buyer and the Target against all reasonable costs which the Buyer and the Target may properly incur in connection with the taking of the following action (other than in respect of a claim under the W&I Policy where the Warrantors shall not be required to give such an indemnity save in respect of the Retention),

then the Buyer shall or shall procure that the Target shall take all reasonable steps to enforce the recovery against the person in question (keeping the Seller fully informed of the progress of any action taken) provided that the Buyer shall not be obliged to take any action under this paragraph that, in the Buyer's reasonable opinion, is likely to harm its or the Target's future Tax position.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2 If the Target or the Buyer recovers from any third party any sum in respect of a liability for which a claim could be or has been made against the Seller under an Excluded Tax Claim an amount equal to the amount so recovered together with any interest or repayment supplement thereon (less the reasonable costs incurred) and expenses paid by that person (insofar as not reimbursed by the Seller) shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if the Seller has at the time of the recovery made any payment under an Excluded Tax Claim, the amount shall be paid to the Seller by the Buyer within seven days of the recovery (provided that the amount paid to the Seller under this paragraph 11.1 shall not exceed the amount of the payment made by the Seller under an Excluded Tax Claim);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if any claim has been or could be made by the Buyer under an Excluded Tax Claim but the Seller has not at the time of the recovery made payment in respect of that sum, the amount recovered shall be set against and reduce pro tanto the claim against the Seller.

---

|:---|:---|

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.1 Subject to this Paragraph 13, the Buyer will have exclusive conduct of all Tax affairs of the Target after Completion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.2 The Buyer shall procure that the Target keeps the Seller fully informed of all material matters relating to the Target's Tax affairs for any accounting period ended on or before Completion, for which final agreement with the relevant Tax Authority of the amount of Tax due from the Target has not been reached. The Buyer shall not submit any correspondence or submit or agree any return or computation for any such period to or with any Tax Authority, without giving the Seller a reasonable opportunity to comment and incorporating the Seller's reasonable written representations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.3 The Buyer shall procure that the Target shall not amend or withdraw any return or computation or any claim, election, surrender or consent made by it for any accounting period ended on or before Completion without giving the Seller a reasonable opportunity to comment and incorporating the Seller's reasonable written representations.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.4 For the avoidance of doubt the provisions of this Paragraph shall operate without prejudice to the rights of the Buyer to make a claim under this Schedule.

**Climb Global Solutions, Inc. Acquires interworks.cloud, Strengthening Cloud and Software Distribution Capabilities Across Europe**

*Acquisition Expands Climb's Reach in Greece, Malta, Bulgaria and Cyprus and Climb Advances Pan-European Microsoft Distribution Strategy*

*Transaction Expected to be Accretive to Earnings per Share and Adjusted EBITDA* 

**EATONTOWN, N.J., February 24, 2026** – Climb Global Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLMB) ("Climb" or the "Company"), a value-added global IT channel company providing unique sales and distribution solutions for innovative technology vendors, has completed the acquisition of interworks.cloud ("Interworks"), a leading value-added cloud distributor in Southeastern Europe, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately €8.0 million ($9.4 million<sup>1</sup>).

<br> Interworks is a Greece-based cloud distributor serving reseller markets across Southeastern Europe, including Greece, Malta, Cyprus, Bulgaria, and other regional markets. Interworks brings its established regional presence to Climb with over 600 cloud reseller and managed service provider ("MSP") relationships, and carefully selected vendor partners including Acronis, Google, AnyDesk, NinjaOne, Nord Security, ThreatDown, Blackwall, and most notably, Microsoft, among others. For its fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, Interworks reported adjusted EBITDA of approximately €901,000<sup>2</sup> ($1.0 million<sup>3</sup>), which was up 86% from approximately €485,000<sup>2</sup> ($548,000<sup>3</sup>) the prior fiscal year.

**Management Commentary**

"The acquisition of Interworks builds upon our strategy to expand our cloud and software distribution capabilities across Europe while strengthening our Pan-European Microsoft partnership," said Climb CEO Dale Foster. "Having worked alongside Interworks for nearly a decade, we have developed strong alignment in culture, strategy and partner focus. Interworks brings an experienced management team, established Microsoft CSP business, multi-country footprint and deep expertise in cloud marketplace and MSP-focused distribution. Interworks will enhance our ability to drive cross-sell opportunities, build greater depth with our partners and position Climb as the distributor of choice across Southeastern Europe.

<sup>1</sup> Amount converted from EUR to USD based on an exchange rate of €1 = $1.18 as of 2/24/26.

<sup>2</sup> Amount derived from the internal financial statements prepared by management of Interworks and may not be comparable to Climb's non-GAAP measures.

<sup>3</sup> Amount converted from EUR to USD based on average exchange rate during the 12-month period ended December 2025 (€1 = $1.13).

"Importantly, the full Interworks team will join Climb, ensuring continuity and high-quality local support for partners and customers, while benefiting from our global scale and investment. This acquisition meaningfully strengthens our position within the Microsoft CSP ecosystem across Europe and enhances our ability to support partners at scale while meeting Microsoft's evolving compliance and partner requirements.

Climb shares our culture, our standards, and our focus on scalable, partner-centric distribution, particularly within the Microsoft CSP ecosystem.
