(f)to SRS Acquiom (the “Paying Agent”) (for further distribution to the Seller Owners in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Share, subject to any reserves determined to be withheld in the discretion of the Seller), pursuant to the terms of a paying agent agreement to be entered into by and between the Seller and the Paying Agent in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller (the “Paying Agent Agreement”), the Closing Purchase Price, minus the amounts paid or to be paid pursuant to Section 1.1(c) - (e) (such amount payable to the Paying Agent, the “Closing Proceeds”).

1.2Estimated Closing Statement.

(a)No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser (i) an estimated closing balance sheet of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”); (ii) the Company’s good faith estimate of: (A) the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”); (B) the amount of Cash of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Cash”); (C) the amount of Indebtedness of the Company as of the Effective Time, provided that Accrued Income Taxes included in Indebtedness shall be computed as of the end of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Indebtedness”); (D) the amount of any unpaid Company Transaction Expenses as of the Effective Time, assuming the Closing had occurred at the Effective Time (the “Estimated Company Transaction Expenses”, together with the Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Cash, and Estimated Net Working Capital, the “Estimated Purchase Price Components”); and (E) the amount of the Option Termination Payments and the employer share of all employment Taxes thereon, showing for each Option Termination Payment recipient, such Person’s name, the outstanding vested awards under the Option Plan held by such Person, and the portion of the Option Termination Payments payable to each such Person at the Closing in respect of such Person’s outstanding vested awards under the Option Plan (the foregoing (i) - (ii), the “Estimated Closing Statement”); and (iii) a memorandum detailing (x) all payments from the Base Purchase Price to be made at the Closing and (y) all Closing Bonus Payments to be made no later than the second regularly scheduled payroll date following the Closing (the “Flow of Funds Memorandum”).

The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared, and the Estimated Purchase Price Components shall be determined, in accordance with the Accounting Principles, and shall be accompanied by the Company’s reasonably detailed calculations of the Estimated Purchase Price Components. The Estimated Closing Statement shall set forth the Closing Purchase Price. The “Closing Purchase Price” means the amount equal to (A) the Base Purchase Price, plus (B) Estimated Cash, minus (C) Estimated Indebtedness, minus (D) Estimated Company Transaction Expenses, plus (E) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital, minus (F) the amount, if any, by which the Target Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital. The Closing Purchase Price will thereafter be subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 1.3(c) (as adjusted, the “Purchase Price”).

(b)The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide the Purchaser and its Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the tax, accounting and financial books and records (including by providing work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents) of the Company to the extent required for purposes of their review of the Estimated Closing Statement and Flow of Funds Memorandum, and (ii) reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser and its Representatives in connection with such review, in each case, to the extent such cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Company. The Company shall consider in good faith any revisions proposed by the Purchaser to the Flow of Funds Memorandum and the calculations set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, and the Company and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disputes with respect to such calculations. To the extent the Company agrees to any such revisions, the Company shall modify the Estimated Closing Statement and/or Flow of Funds Memorandum to reflect such revisions and redeliver the Estimated Closing Statement and/or Flow of Funds Memorandum to the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to accept any comments or changes to the Estimated Closing Statement and/or Flow of Funds Memorandum if it in good faith does not agree with such comments or changes, and the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of any unresolved comments or changes to the Estimated Closing Statement and/or Flow of Funds Memorandum made or requested by the Purchaser. The parties acknowledge that a party’s acceptance of the figures set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement (including any adjustments made in accordance with this Section 1.2(b)), or any failure of a party to raise any objection or dispute with respect to any of the foregoing estimates or calculations, shall not in any way prejudice such party’s right to raise any matter in the Final Closing Statement.

(c)With respect to any Company Transaction Expenses identified as “Paid At Closing Transaction Expenses” on the Flow of Funds Memorandum (the “Paid At Closing Transaction Expenses”), at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser setting forth an itemized list of all Paid At Closing Transaction Expenses, including the identity of each payee, dollar amounts owed, wire instructions and any other information reasonably necessary to effect the final payment in full thereof (including, other than for amounts to be reported on a Form W-2, Form W-9s for each payee to the extent such payee is a service provider), and, other than for amounts to be reported on a Form W-2, copies of final invoices from each such payee, and including an acknowledgment or other provision reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser that the invoiced amounts represent full and final payment due from the Company for all services rendered to the Company through the Closing.

1.3Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)Delivery of Closing Balance Sheet.

(i)Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will, in good faith and in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.3(a), prepare and deliver to the Seller (i) its good faith calculation of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), Indebtedness of the Company as of the Effective Time, provided that Accrued Income Taxes included in Indebtedness shall be computed as of the end of the Closing Date (the “Closing Indebtedness”), Cash of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Cash”), and the amount of any unpaid Company Transaction Expenses as of the Effective Time, assuming the Closing had occurred at the Effective Time (the “Closing Company Transaction Expenses”, together with the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash, and Closing Net Working Capital, the “Closing Purchase Price Components”), including the Purchaser’s reasonably detailed calculations of the Closing Purchase Price Components, showing in reasonable detail any differences between the Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Purchase Price Components (and components thereof) and the Estimated Purchase Price Components (and components thereof), together with supporting documentation that is reasonably necessary to confirm the differences between the Estimated Purchase Price Components and the Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Purchase Price Components, and (ii) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Final Closing Balance Sheet” and together with (i), the “Final Closing Statement”). Calculation of the Final Closing Statement shall be in a manner consistent with the Accounting Principles. If the Purchaser fails to deliver the Final Closing Statement to the Seller within the ninety (90) day period specified in this Section 1.3(a)(i), at the Seller’s sole election and discretion, either (I) the Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the Estimated Closing Statement as final and, if the Seller so requests, the parties will execute all instruments necessary to instruct the Escrow Agent to release the entire Escrow Amount (together with any interest accrued thereon) to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Seller Owners in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Share), or (II) the Seller will have the option to otherwise enforce its rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to the Purchaser’s failure to timely deliver the Final Closing Statement to the Seller, including retaining (at the expense of the Purchaser, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) an independent accounting firm of national reputation to provide an audit or other review of the Company’s books, review the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price Components and make any adjustments necessary thereto consistent with the provisions of this Section 1.3, the determination of such accounting firm being conclusive and binding on the parties; provided, however, that the Seller reserves any and all other rights granted to it in this Agreement.

(ii)The Final Closing Statement shall be prepared, and the Closing Purchase Price Components shall be determined, in accordance with the Accounting Principles. For the avoidance of doubt, the Final Closing Statement (including the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Purchase Price Components) shall (i) exclude the impact of any decisions made or actions taken or omitted by the Purchaser or the Company, in each case, following the Closing and (ii) not reflect changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments or reflect other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)Review of Final Closing Balance Sheet; Objection.

(i)The Seller shall have sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of the Final Closing Statement (“Review Period”) to review the computations of the Closing Purchase Price Components reflected on the Final Closing Statement. In connection with such review, the Purchaser will make available to the Seller and its advisors all records and work papers relating to the Company and the Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Purchase Price Components that the Seller and its advisors reasonably request in reviewing the Final Closing Balance Sheet and Final Closing Statement, and the Purchaser will make available to the Seller and its advisors the personnel and other advisors of the Purchaser involved in the preparation of the Final Closing Statement.

(ii)If the Seller disagrees with the Purchaser’s Final Closing Statement (including any components thereof), then the Seller shall deliver written notice (an “Objection Notice”) of such disagreement to the Purchaser on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the Seller’s receipt of the Final Closing Statement. If, following the Seller’s receipt of the Final Closing Statement, the Seller has been denied access to information to which the Seller is entitled under Section 1.3(b)(i), which information was expressly requested in writing no less than two (2) Business Days prior to the end of the original Review Period, and the Seller sends a written notice to the Purchaser identifying such failure and requesting an extension of the Review Period, then the Review Period shall be automatically extended and shall expire five (5) Business Days following the Seller’s receipt of the information requested in the foregoing notice to which the Seller is entitled under Section 1.3(b)(i), provided, however, that under no circumstance shall the Review Period exceed ninety (90) days from receipt of the Final Closing Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts set forth in the Final Closing Statement and not disputed in an Objection Notice delivered prior to the expiration of such sixty (60) day review period (as extended, if applicable). Any Objection Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of such disagreement and may only include disagreements based on (A) the failure of the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash, Closing Net Working Capital, or Closing Company Transaction Expenses, as applicable, as reflected on the Final Closing Statement, to be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles or in a manner consistent with the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement, (B) mathematical errors in the computation of Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash, Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Company Transaction Expenses or the Purchase Price, or (C) the failure to confirm the Final Closing Statement as a result of the Purchaser’s failure to provide reasonably requested information or access to advisors and personnel as expressly contemplated by Section 1.3(b)(i).

If the Seller delivered an Objection Notice to the Purchaser, then the Purchaser and the Seller will endeavor to resolve any disagreements noted in the Objection Notice in good faith as soon as practicable after the delivery of such notice, but if they do not obtain a final written resolution within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser has received the Objection Notice, then either the Purchaser or the Seller may thereafter commence the process to jointly retain the Firm and each party must proceed with the Dispute Resolution Procedure in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If, following the Purchaser’s timely delivery of the Final Closing Statement, the Seller does not timely deliver an Objection Notice pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(ii) the Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Purchaser’s Final Closing Statement and calculation of the Closing Purchase Price Components.

(c)Final and Binding Determination.

(i)The Final Closing Statement, Final Closing Balance Sheet, Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Company Transaction Expenses as agreed to by the Purchaser and the Seller (including by way of default pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1.3(a)(i) or the third or last sentence of Section 1.3(b)(ii)) or as determined by the Firm, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto and shall be deemed the “Actual Closing Statement”, “Actual Closing Balance Sheet” and the “Final Net Working Capital”, “Final Cash”, “Final Indebtedness”, and “Final Company Transaction Expenses” (the Final Net Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, and Final Company Transaction Expenses, collectively, the “Final Purchase Price Components”) for all purposes herein. Upon completion of the calculation of the Actual Closing Balance Sheet and the Actual Closing Statement (and the components thereof) in accordance with this Section 1.3(c)(i) the Closing Purchase Price will be adjusted, either upward or downward, as applicable, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.3(c)(ii).

(ii)Payment. The “Purchase Price Adjustment” means the amount equal to (A) the Final Net Working Capital minus the Estimated Net Working Capital, plus (B) the Final Cash minus the Estimated Cash, minus (C) the Final Indebtedness minus Estimated Indebtedness, minus (D) the Final Company Transaction Expenses minus Estimated Company Transaction Expenses, which each such amount may result in zero or a positive or a negative number.

(A)If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a negative number, then promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Actual Closing Statement is agreed to pursuant to Section 1.3(c)(i)), the Purchaser and the Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Purchaser the lesser of: (1) the amount of such Purchase Price Adjustment from the Escrow Account and (2) the amount in the Escrow Account. If the amount of such Purchase Price Adjustment does not exceed the amount in the Escrow Account, the Purchaser and the Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release the balance of the Escrow Account to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Seller Owners in accordance with each such Seller Owner’s Pro Rata Share).

(B)If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a positive number, then (1) the Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Actual Closing Statement is agreed to pursuant to Section 1.3(c)(i)) make payment by wire transfer to the Paying Agent (for distribution to the Seller Owners in accordance with each such Seller Owner’s applicable Pro Rata Share), the amount of such Purchase Price Adjustment and (2) the Purchaser and the Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release the balance of the Escrow Account to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Seller Owners in accordance with each such Seller Owner’s applicable Pro Rata Share).

(C)Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.3(c)(ii) shall constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes (other than a portion of the Purchase Price Adjustment that is appropriately treated as imputed interest pursuant to applicable Laws) and shall be treated as such by the parties on their Tax Returns and in any communications with any Governmental Authorities, in each case, unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a)(1) of the Code (or any corresponding state or local Tax Laws).

1.4Form of Payments. Except as expressly provided herein, all payments under this Agreement will be made by delivery to the recipient by depositing, by wire transfer, the required amount (in immediately available funds in United States currency) in an account of the recipient, which account will be designated by the recipient in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the required payment.

1.5Closing.

(a)Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place remotely by the customary electronic exchange of documents and signatures on the second (2nd) Business Day, or sooner by mutual agreement of the parties, following the satisfaction of or waiver of all conditions to, the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (other than conditions with respect to actions the respective parties will take at the Closing itself, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing) or such other date, time and place as the Purchaser and the Seller may mutually agree in writing (the “Closing Date”). For purposes of determining Net Working Capital and, to the extent permitted by Law and GAAP, for Tax and accounting purposes, the parties will treat the Closing as being effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”).

(b)At the Closing, (i) the Seller or the Company will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Purchaser the certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in Section 7.1 and (ii) the Purchaser will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company and the Seller the certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in Section 7.2.

1.6Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Purchaser, the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent, the Company and the Seller and each of their Affiliates shall have the right to deduct and withhold Taxes from any payments to be made hereunder and to collect any necessary Tax forms, including Form W-9, or any similar information. To the extent that amounts are deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to the applicable Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. The Purchaser, the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent, the Company and the Seller and each of their Affiliates, as the case may be, shall timely pay all such deducted or withheld amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority to the extent required by applicable Law. If withholding is required, the withholding party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable, with at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice regarding any proposed withholding or deduction, other than any withholding or deduction with respect to the Option Termination Payments, the Closing Bonus Payments or required as a result of the failure of the Seller to perform its obligations pursuant to Section 7.1(g), and the parties hereto will use commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or reduce any such withholding or deduction.

Any information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.4 that is Confidential Information is subject to Section 5.6 and shall not be used for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser is not authorized to and shall not (and shall not permit any of its employees, agents, Representatives or Affiliates to) contact any officer, director, employee, customer, supplier, distributor, vendor or other business relation of the Company regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the Closing without the prior written consent and coordination of a Designated Contact (as defined below) (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to provide such access or disclose any information to the Purchaser and its Representatives if the Company reasonably determines that such access or disclosure would (A) jeopardize or result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege, (B) violate any Contract to which the Company is a party, or (C) violate any Law which the Company is subject to; provided, that the parties will cooperate to implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information or to provide access in a manner to remedy the basis for the objection. All requests for such access shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer or to such persons as such the Chief Executive Officer may designate in writing from time to time (collectively, the “Designated Contacts”). Other than the Designated Contacts, prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of a Designated Contact (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), neither the Purchaser, its Affiliates nor their respective Representatives shall contact any employee, contractor, supplier, customer, landlord or other material business relationship of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to any access or information provided pursuant to this Section 5.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of any litigation that has not been withdrawn in writing between the Seller or any Seller Owner, on the one hand, and the Purchaser or its Affiliates, on the other hand, relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the covenants contained in this Section 5.4 shall not apply thereto (including for discovery purposes) to the extent the access or information requested relates to the litigation, and compliance with this Section 5.4 shall not be considered a waiver by any party of any right to assert the attorney client privilege or any similar privilege. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall be deemed to limit any communications made in the ordinary course of business (unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and in compliance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement) of the Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives.

5.5No Negotiations. During the Interim Period, the Company and the Seller will refrain, and will cause their Representatives to refrain, from taking any action (i) to solicit, facilitate, intentionally encourage or initiate the submission of any proposal or indication of interest from any Person (other than the Purchaser) with respect to an acquisition of Shares or Interests or other Assets (other than with respect to dispositions of Assets by the Company in the Ordinary Course of Business (and for the avoidance of doubt, not Shares or Interests) that are not material, individually or in the aggregate), or any merger, consolidation, combination, equity exchange, recapitalization, liquidation or dissolution involving the Company (an “Alternative Proposal”), (ii) to intentionally participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Proposal (or any proposal or indication of interest relating thereto) with any Person (other than the Purchaser) or (iii) to authorize, engage in, or enter into any agreement (including a confidentiality agreement) or understanding (other than with the Purchaser) with respect to an Alternative Proposal with any Person.

The Company shall notify the Purchaser promptly, but in any event with 24 hours, if any Person makes any bona-fide proposal or offer with respect to, or that the Company reasonably expects may lead to, an Alternative Proposal, which notification shall include (to the extent not prohibited by a confidentiality agreement with the Person making the proposal) the material terms of such proposal, including structure and price; provided, that if the disclosure of such information by the Company to the Purchaser is prohibited by such a confidentiality agreement, the parties will cooperate to implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information. The Company immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Proposal and shall terminate the access of such Persons to any physical or virtual data room, including the VDR.

The Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate upon the Closing.

(b)From and after the Closing, the Seller will (and will cause its Affiliates and Representatives to) keep confidential and not directly or indirectly use, reveal, report, publish, disclose or transfer any Confidential Information, including information regarding the negotiations of this Agreement and the amount of the Base Purchase Price, the Closing Purchase Price, or the Purchase Price, other than to its Representatives or Affiliates who have a need to know such information, and each will use such Confidential Information solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d)Prior to the Closing, the Company shall send a written notice to each Person who the Seller, the Company or their respective Affiliates or Representatives entered into a confidentiality agreement with for purposes of providing Confidential Information in connection with a potential business combination involving the Company or its Affiliates (other than the Purchaser and its Affiliates and Representatives) requesting that such Person return or to the Company or destroy, as provided under the applicable confidentiality agreement, any documents, files, data or other materials constituting Confidential Information that were provided to such Person in connection with the consideration of any such business combination.

(e)For the sake of clarity, nothing herein shall preclude legal counsel to the Seller from maintaining a copy of the VDR as contemplated in Section 5.3, provided that any Confidential Information included in the VDR shall be treated as Confidential Information.

5.7Mutual Covenants Regarding No Inconsistent Action. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.7, subject to Section 5.9, during the Interim Period, none of the parties hereto will take, and each will cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to take, any action or make any omission intended to (i) be materially inconsistent with its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) make it impossible or impracticable for a condition to Closing set forth herein to be satisfied, or (iii) materially hinder or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)The Purchaser may satisfy its obligations under Section 5.8(a)(ii) with respect to any Continuing Employee after the Closing Date by providing (to the extent a comparable Benefit Plan is not continued after the Closing Date) that such Continuing Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliates’ retirement and welfare benefit plans (“Purchaser Employee Plans”) on terms that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those offered to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

(c)The Purchaser shall give each Continuing Employee full credit, for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accrual (except for benefit accruals under a defined benefit pension plan and post-employment welfare benefits) under each Purchaser Employee Plan, for his or her full and partial years of service with the Company, any Affiliate thereof and the predecessors of the Company and its Affiliates to the same extent provided under the comparable Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent such crediting would result in duplication of benefits. If the Purchaser or the Company terminates a Benefit Plan that is a group health plan in the year in which the Closing occurs or in any subsequent year, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give effect (to Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents), in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations under any Purchaser Employee Plan for the plan year in which such termination occurs, to amounts paid or incurred by such Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during such year under a comparable Benefit Plan. The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any pre-existing conditions limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any Purchaser Employee Plan to be waived with respect to each Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents to the extent waived or satisfied under any comparable Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated; provided, that the foregoing shall not operate to result in a duplication of benefits.

(d)Nothing contained in this Section 5.8, whether express or implied, will (i) obligate the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to retain any Continuing Employees for any specific period, (ii) be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of any entity, or (iii) limit the right of the Purchaser, the Company or any Affiliate of either to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Benefit Plan following the Closing.

The Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other Person so as to enable the parties to expeditiously close the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates be required to (i) agree or proffer to divest or hold separate (in a trust or otherwise), or take any other action with respect to, any of the assets or businesses of the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) agree or proffer to limit in any manner whatsoever or not to exercise any rights of ownership of any securities (including the Interests), (iii) enter into any agreement that in any way limits the ownership or operation of any business of the Purchaser, the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, or (iv) agree to obtain prior approval or other approval from a Governmental Authority, or submit a notification or otherwise notify the Governmental Authority, prior to consummating any future transaction (other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); in each case, other than any such measures with respect to the Company that would not, individually and in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) and results of operations of the Company, taken as a whole, and that are conditioned upon (and effective after) the Closing. Promptly upon the request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall, and shall cause the Company to, commit to any of the remedies described above, in each case, that is conditioned on the Closing, but shall not proffer, undertake or take any such action, or offer or agree to do so, without the Purchaser’s prior written consent.

Parts 120-130).

(h)During the Interim Period, each of the parties will promptly notify the others in writing of any pending or, to the Knowledge of such party, threatened in writing, action, proceeding or investigation by any Governmental Authority or any other Person (i) challenging or seeking damages in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) seeking to restrain or prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i)The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make all filings or notifications or take such other actions as are necessary or appropriate in order to prevent the security clearances of the Company and its employees from being revoked, suspended or downgraded, including in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(j)Nothing in Section 5.7 or this Section 5.9 shall preclude the Purchaser from engaging in discussions or negotiations with any applicable Governmental Authority regarding the requirement, scope, or terms of actions that may be required by the Purchaser to obtain any consent or otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, for purposes of consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and subject to the Purchaser’s and its Representatives’ obligations in the Confidentiality Agreement, nor shall the obligations in Section 5.7 or this Section 5.9 require any of the parties to initiate litigation against any Governmental Authority, provided, that if the Purchaser determines to initiate such litigation, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as provided in this Section 5.9.

5.10Director & Officer Indemnification.

(a)For six (6) years from the Closing Date, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each individual who is now, or has been at any time prior to the Closing Date, an officer, director or employee of the Company or the Seller (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Agents”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement with the approval of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld if such settlement does not require material non-monetary obligations) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such individual is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or the Seller and arising out of actions or omissions, occurring at or prior to the Closing Date and whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Closing Date, but only to the extent the Company would be required to do so as of the date of this Agreement pursuant to its Charter or Governing Documents or pursuant to a Contract between the Company and such Company Indemnified Agents, as set forth on Schedule 5.10; provided, that the Company shall only be required to indemnify a Company Indemnified Agent pursuant to this Section 5.10 to the extent permitted under the Law of the state of its incorporation to indemnify directors, officers and employees, as the case may be, or those of a direct or indirect subsidiary (and the Company will pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding to each Company Indemnified Agent to the fullest extent permitted by Law, subject to Section 5.10(b) with regard to expenses for counsel, to the extent that the Company would be required to do so as of the date of this Agreement). In addition, the Charter and Governing Documents of the Company and their successors and assigns shall, for six (6) years following the Closing Date, contain provisions with respect to indemnification no less favorable to the individuals who were officers, directors and employees at or prior to the Closing Date than those in effect in the Governing Documents of the Company with respect to current officers, directors and employees as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(b)Each Company Indemnified Agent under this Section 5.10 will, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action or other proceeding against such Company Indemnified Agent in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Company under this Section 5.10 notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof. The failure of any Company Indemnified Agent to notify the Company of any such action shall not relieve such Company from any liability which it may have to such Company Indemnified Agent, unless, and only to the extent that, such failure actually prejudices the Company.

In case any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against any Company Indemnified Agent and it shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Company Indemnified Agent; provided, however, that any Company Indemnified Agent may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action or proceeding in which both the Company and a Company Indemnified Agent are, or are reasonably likely to become, a party, such Company Indemnified Agent shall have the right to employ one separate counsel at the Company’s expense and to control its own defense of such action or proceeding if, in the reasonable written opinion of counsel to such Company Indemnified Agent, any unwaivable conflict or potential unwaivable conflict exists between the Company and such Company Indemnified Agent that would make such separate representation advisable. The Company shall not, without the consent of the Company Indemnified Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Company Indemnified Agent of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation or which requires action by the Company Indemnified Agent. The rights accorded to Company Indemnified Agents hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Company Indemnified Agent may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise.

(c)For six (6) years from the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to maintain “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance covering the Persons who are presently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy (copies of which have been made available to the Purchaser in the VDR) with respect to actions and omissions occurring prior to the Closing Date (the “Run-Off Policy”), providing coverage from insurance carriers with the same or better credit ratings as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to officers’ and directors’ liability insurance and not materially less favorable (in coverage limits or otherwise) than provided by such insurance in effect on the date hereof; provided, that the total cost with respect to such policy shall not exceed 200% of the last annual premium paid therefor by the Company prior to the Execution Date and the Company will purchase the maximum amount of coverage that can be obtained for that amount if the coverage described in this Section would cost in excess of that amount. The Purchaser shall cause the Company to pay any applicable premiums for such insurance.

(d)The provisions of this Section 5.10 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Agent, his or her heirs and his or her Representatives.

(e)For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.10 shall require the Company to indemnify the Seller, any Seller Owner, or their respective Affiliates for any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 9.1(d) of this Agreement, and the Seller waives any rights it has to be indemnified by the Company for any payments made by the Seller or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 9.1(d) of this Agreement, in each case, other than with respect to losses covered by the Run-Off Policy.

5.11Closing Date Actions.

Prior to the Closing but following the Effective Time, the Company covenants that it will not, and the Seller covenants that it will not cause or permit the Company to, (a) incur or repay any Indebtedness except (i) Indebtedness of the types described in clause (x) of the definition of “Indebtedness” incurred or paid in the Ordinary Course of Business or (ii) Indebtedness that will be included in Final Indebtedness without any liability or obligation to the Company following the Closing other than the amounts included in Final Indebtedness, or (b) incur any Company Transaction Expenses except Company Transaction Expenses that will be included in Final Company Transaction Expenses without any liability or obligation to the Company following the Closing other than the amounts included in Final Company Transaction Expenses.

The Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that it will not at any time assert any claim against the Seller, or any of its Non-Recourse Parties, or attempt to hold any of such Persons liable, for any inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to the information furnished by such Persons concerning the Seller, the Company, the business of the foregoing parties, or the Shares or Interests, other than any inaccuracies or misstatements in the express representations and warranties made by the Seller and the Company in this Agreement (the representations and warranties in Section 2 and Section 3) and in any Closing Certificates (in each case, subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and expiration set forth in this Agreement).

(c)The representations and warranties made by the Seller and the Company in this Agreement (the representations and warranties in Section 2 and Section 3) and in any Closing Certificate constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of any kind of the Company and the Seller or their respective Non-Recourse Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Company, the Seller, and their respective Non-Recourse Parties hereby disclaim, and the Purchaser and its Affiliates hereby waive, all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchase Price has been negotiated based upon the Purchaser’s express agreement that the Purchaser will acquire the Company and its business, properties, assets and liabilities in an “as is” condition and on a “where is” basis, without any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, except such representations and warranties made by the Seller and the Company in this Agreement (the representations and warranties in Section 2 and Section 3) and in any Closing Certificate. Further, without limiting any such representation, warranty or covenant of the Seller or the Company, the Purchaser acknowledges that it has waived and hereby waives any further due diligence reviews, inspections or examinations with respect to the Company, the business of the Company and the Shares and Interests.

(d)The representations and warranties made by the Purchaser in this Agreement (the representations and warranties in Section 4) and in any Purchaser Closing Certificate or Restrictive Covenants Agreement constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of any kind of the Purchaser or its Non-Recourse Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Purchaser and its Non-Recourse Parties hereby disclaim, and the Seller, the Company, and their respective Affiliates hereby waive, all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Under no circumstances shall any of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser in Section 4 be imputed to, or deemed to have been made by, any other Person.

(e)The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the representations and warranties in each of the Restrictive Covenants Agreements are made only by the Persons delivering such agreement.

5.13Seller Releases. For and in consideration of the Purchase Price to be received by the Seller under this Agreement, from and after the Closing, the Seller hereby, for itself and each of its Non-Recourse Parties (excluding the Company), whether in any individual, corporate or any other capacity, successors, and assigns (each, a “Releasor Party”), irrevocably releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company and its present Affiliates (i.e. pre-Closing) and their respective present, former and future officers, directors/managers, attorneys, agents, Representatives, trustees, and employees and each of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (each, a “Released Party”), of and from any and all manner of action or actions, cause or causes of action, demands, rights, damages, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, costs, expenses, responsibilities, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements and Claims whatsoever, whether known or unknown, of every name and nature, both in law and in equity (each, a “Released Claim”), which such Releasor Party ever had, now has, or hereafter may have or shall have against any Released Party, in each case, arising out of any matters, causes, acts, conduct, claims, circumstances or events occurring or failing to occur or conditions existing, prior to the time the Closing becomes effective. In executing this release, each Releasor Party acknowledges and intends that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Released Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following are expressly excluded from “Released Claims” and no Releasor Party is obligated to release such Releasor Party’s rights: (i) under the Transaction Documents or any other agreement entered into with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser, (ii) with respect to any Releasor Party that is an employee, officer or director of the Company, (1) for any compensation or benefit for services rendered to the Company that remain unpaid or unawarded (including rights to payment for salary, bonuses, commissions and vacation pay, earned and unpaid as of the date hereof and any claim for accrued, vested benefits under any tax qualified retirement plan or employee welfare benefit plan of the Company in accordance with plan terms and applicable law), (2) under any agreement entered into with the Company in connection with such Releasor Party’s employment with the Company, (3) for any rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses that such Releasor Party has under (A) the terms of the Company’s Charter or Governing Documents or (B) an indemnification agreement with the Company listed on Schedule 5.10, and (4) claims for reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket business expenses incurred in compliance with the Company’s policies, and (iii) under any insurance policies of the Company.

5.14Access to Records.

(a)On the Closing Date, subject to Section 22, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser all original (and any and all copies of) agreements, documents, books and records, files and other information, and all computer disks, records, tapes and any other storage media on which any such agreements, documents, books and records, files and other information are stored, in any such case, relating to the business and operations of the Company (collectively, “Information”) (in whatever medium) that is in the possession of or under the control of the Seller or any Seller Owner, including any Information that is stored on any server or other storage media maintained by a third party on behalf of the Company (including any “cloud” storage platform).

For the sake of clarity, the foregoing shall not apply to any copies of any Information that is located at the offices of the Company or any copies of any Information that is otherwise in the possession or control of employees of the Company, in each case, as of immediately following the Closing. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller or any Seller Owner discovers following the Closing Date that it is in possession of or has under its control any such Information, such Seller or Seller Owner (or the Seller, on behalf of such Seller Owner) shall (x) deliver to the Purchaser any such Information and (y) thereafter permanently delete and erase all such Information (including copies thereof) in its possession or under its control as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) nothing herein shall preclude the Seller and each Seller Owner from (A) having their respective legal counsels maintain a copy of the VDR as contemplated in Section 5.3 and 5.6(e), (B) retaining copies of financial statements, corporate records relating to actions of the board of directors of the Company or the Seller in its capacity as the shareholder of the Company, records relating to Taxes, any records of the transactions contemplated hereby, and other information received by certain Seller Owners for purposes of monitoring their investment, (C) retaining copies of Information located on backup servers and similar devices, provided that no Seller or Seller Owner shall access such Information other than for bona fide legal or IT purposes, or (D) retaining copies of Information required to be retained by any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date hereof, provided that any Information retained pursuant to clauses (A)-(D) shall be treated as Confidential Information and subject to the provisions of Section 5.6, and (ii) nothing in this Section 5.14(a) shall apply to Protected Communications, provided that for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date, or, if shorter, the applicable period specified in the applicable Seller’s or Seller Owner’s bona fide document retention policy, each Seller and Seller Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain any Information in its possession on the Closing Date that constitutes Protected Communications.

(b)For a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date, or, if shorter, the applicable period specified in the Purchaser’s bona fide document retention policy, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to maintain all books and records of the Company relating to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and shall make them, and any individuals responsible for maintenance of such books and records, available to the Seller upon reasonable notice during normal business hours. If at any time after the Closing, the Seller requires a copy of any such book or record, it shall have the right to promptly obtain a copy thereof from the Purchaser or the Company, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense. Any books and records obtained by the Seller in accordance with this Section 5.14(b) shall be treated as Confidential Information and subject to the provisions of Section 5.6.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event (i) of any litigation that has not been withdrawn in writing between the Seller or any Seller Owner, on the one hand, and the Purchaser or its Affiliates, on the other hand, relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) that providing access to the foregoing materials would violate applicable Law, the covenants contained in this Section 5.14 shall not apply thereto (including for discovery purposes) and shall not be considered a waiver by any party of any right to assert the attorney client privilege or any similar privilege.

(d)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.14(a), the Seller shall not be required to deliver to the Purchaser any unitary Tax Return filed by the Seller or any of its Affiliates other than the Company.

5.15Government Contract Covenant. The Company shall inform the Purchaser of any Government Contract awarded during the Interim Period that requires any filing with, or Permit, consent or approval of, or the giving of any notice to, any Governmental Authority by the Company as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

5.16Termination of 401(k) Plan. The Company shall take all actions as are necessary to terminate the Company’s 401(k) Plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”), effective as of the day before the Closing Date. The Company shall provide to the Purchaser copies of the corporate actions to effect the termination of such plan at least three (3) Business Days before their adoption for the Purchaser’s reasonable review and comment.

5.17Ridge Top. As of immediately prior to the Closing, all intercompany balances and accounts between the Company and Ridge Top, other than rent and other amounts payable by the Company to Ridge Top pursuant to the Ridge Top Lease, shall be settled or otherwise eliminated without further liability to the Company. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, either (i) dissolve Ridge Top, wind up its activities and cancel its certificate of formation in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, (ii) distribute to the Seller its interest in Ridge Top, or (iii) sell its interest in Ridge Top for fair market value, as determined by a third party appraiser, in each case, such that upon the Closing the Company will no longer hold any equity interests in Ridge Top (the “Ridge Top Divestiture”). The Ridge Top Divestiture shall include termination of all liability of the Company under the Ridge Top Guaranty (the “Ridge Top Guaranty Release”). The documentation evidencing the Ridge Top Divestiture and the Ridge Top Guaranty Release shall be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser.

5.18Reorganization. Following the date hereof and prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause the Reorganization to occur, including by executing, delivering and/or filing, as applicable, all Reorganization Documents required to effect the actions contemplated thereby.  The Company shall provide the Purchaser with drafts of each Reorganization Document at least three (3) Business Days prior to executing, delivering and/or filing such Reorganization Document, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Reorganization, and consider in good faith any comments provided by the Purchaser within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof.  The Reorganization shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Company and otherwise in accordance with the description of such transactions set forth in the Recitals. For purposes of clarification, the Reorganization and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be deemed to be part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.19Financing Cooperation.

(a)Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, and the Seller shall cause the Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and to cause their respective Representatives to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, to the Purchaser, in each case at the Purchaser’s sole expense, such reasonable cooperation as is customary for acquisition financings for similarly situated businesses and reasonably requested by the Purchaser in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (or any permitted replacement, amended, modified or alternative financing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any loans, offerings, or private placements of notes or equity-linked securities in lieu of, or to takeout any bridge facility)).

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 5.19 shall require any such cooperation or assistance to the extent that it could result in the Seller or any of its Affiliates being required to (i) agree to pay any commitment fee or other amount or give any indemnities or guarantees to any third party or otherwise commit to take any similar action in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing, (ii) take any actions to the extent such actions would, in the Seller’s reasonable judgment, (A) unreasonably interfere with the business of the Company, (B) subject any director, manager, officer, employee or other Representative of the Seller to any actual or potential personal Liability, (C) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, the Contracts or organizational documents of the Company or any of its Affiliates or any applicable material Laws, or (D) reasonably be expected to cause (x) any representation or warranty set forth in Section 2 or Section 3 to be inaccurate or breached, (y) the failure of any closing condition set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement to be satisfied or any delay in the satisfaction of any such condition or (z) any other breach of this Agreement, (iii) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (iv) commit to take any action under any Contract, certificate, document or instrument that is not contingent upon the Closing (other than customary authorization letters and “comfort” letters), (v) provide access to or disclose information that the Seller reasonably determines would jeopardize any attorney work product protection or attorney client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality requirements applicable to, the Seller or any of its Affiliates, (vi) cause any director, manager or equivalent of the Seller or any of its Affiliates to pass resolutions to approve the Financing or (vii) deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinion.

(c)The Purchaser shall promptly, upon request by the Seller, reimburse the Seller for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel for the Seller and its Affiliates) incurred by the Seller and its Affiliates in connection with the Financing, including the cooperation of the Seller and its Affiliates contemplated by this Section 5.19, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred, whether before, at or after the Closing, by any of them arising out of or relating to the arrangement of the Financing and any information used in connection therewith, except any Liability as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, by the Seller or its Affiliates, in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.

(d)The Seller hereby consents to the use of the logos of the Company solely in connection with the Financing; provided that the Purchaser shall ensure that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Seller’s and the Company’s reputation or goodwill.

(e)The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Financing, or any alternative financing, is not a condition to the Closing.

(a)by mutual written agreement of the Company and the Purchaser;

(b)by the Company, if (i) the Closing has not occurred on or before the End Date; provided, that such failure of the Closing to occur is not due to a failure of the Seller or the Company to perform, in any material respect, any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement required to be performed prior to the Closing; or (ii) (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 are satisfied or waived by the party(ies) entitled to waive such conditions (other than conditions which by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing but which conditions are reasonably capable of being satisfied at the Closing) as of the date on which the Closing was required to have occurred pursuant to Section 1.5, and the Purchaser has failed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as of such date, and (B) the Closing has not occurred on or before the date falling three (3) Business Days after written notice from the Company and the Seller to the Purchaser irrevocably confirming to the Purchaser that all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.2 have been fully satisfied or are waived by the party(ies) entitled to waive such conditions (other than conditions by which their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing but which conditions are reasonably capable of being satisfied at the Closing) and that the Seller and the Company are ready, willing and able to proceed with the Closing during such three-Business-Day period;

(c)by the Purchaser, if the Closing has not occurred on or before the End Date, provided, that such failure is not due to a failure of the Purchaser to perform, in any material respect, any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement required to be performed prior to the Closing;

(d)by the Company, if the Purchaser has committed a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, which breach (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2 and (ii) such breach is not capable of being cured by the Purchaser prior to the End Date or, if so capable of being cured, has not been cured prior to the earlier of (A) ten (10) Business Days following written notice of such breach from the Company to the Purchaser and (B) the End Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to the Company at any time that the Company or the Seller is in breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement if such breach would, if not cured, result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.1 to be satisfied (and has not been waived by the Purchaser);

(e)by the Purchaser, if the Seller or the Company has committed a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, which breach (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.1 and (ii) such breach is not capable of being cured by the Seller or the Company, as applicable, prior to the End Date or, if so capable of being cured, has not been cured prior to the earlier of (A) ten (10) Business Days following written notice of such breach from the Purchaser to the Company and (B) the End Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) shall not be available to the Purchaser at any time that the Purchaser is in breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement if such breach would, if not cured, result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2 to be satisfied (and has not been waived by the Seller);

(f)by either the Purchaser or the Company, if any (i) Law will have been adopted, promulgated, entered, enforced or issued by any Governmental Authority, which, if successful, would permanently enjoin, restrain, prevent, make illegal or prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) Order has been entered by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Order has become final and non-appealable; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(f)(ii) shall not be available to either party if the terminating party’s breach (which, in the case of the Company, shall include breaches by the Seller) of any of its covenants or obligations under Section 5.9 shall have primarily caused the entry of such Order; or

(g)by either the Company or the Purchaser, if the Closing has not occurred by January 24, 2025, unless (i) mutually extended in writing by each of the Company and the Purchaser or (ii) the End Date is extended as contemplated by the definition thereof, in which case the date in this Section 8.1(g) shall be deemed to be July 24, 2025.

8.2Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated by the Purchaser or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect; provided, however, that (a) the confidentiality obligations described in Section 5.6 will survive any such termination and (b) this Section 8.2, Section 9, Sections 11 through 24 (other than Sections 22(b) through 22(d)), and any applicable definitions set forth in Section 25, shall survive any such termination and remain enforceable by the parties hereto, and (c) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no such termination will relieve any party from any liability or damages (which the parties acknowledge and agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs and may include to the extent proven the benefit of the bargain lost by a party’s equityholders (taking into consideration all relevant matters, including other combination opportunities and the time value of money, which shall be deemed in such event to be damages of such party)) to the extent such damages were the result of (i) Fraud or (ii) any willful and material breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination, and in the event of such Fraud or such willful and material breach, the parties hereto will be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available under law or equity in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of clarification, the parties agree that if any party does not close the transactions contemplated hereby in circumstances in which such party is required to close under Section 1.5, such failure or refusal to close shall be deemed to be a willful and material breach of this Agreement by such party.

9.REMEDIES

9.1Limited Indemnification and Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Certain Waivers.

(a)All representations and warranties and pre-Closing covenants (including without limitation the covenants set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2) of the Company and the Seller set forth in this Agreement, or in any Closing Certificate, shall terminate upon, and shall not survive, the Closing, and none of the Company, the Seller, nor any of their respective Affiliates, nor any of their respective directors/managers, officers, employees, equityholders, partners, members, managers, trustees, beneficiaries or Representatives shall have any liability whatsoever with respect to any such representations and warranties, pre-Closing covenants or Closing Certificates and no claim for breach of any such representation, warranty, pre-Closing covenant or Closing Certificate or any claim for detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought after the Closing with respect thereto against the Seller, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of their respective directors/managers, officers, employees, equityholders, partners, members, managers, trustees, beneficiaries or other Representatives; provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company Fundamental Representations shall, in each case, expressly survive the Closing until the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days following the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations; and (ii) five years from the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each covenant or agreement of any party hereto set forth in this Agreement requiring performance at or after the Closing, shall, in each case, expressly survive the Closing for the period expressly contemplated by such covenant (provided, that if no such period is expressly contemplated, such covenant shall survive until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations and (ii) five (5) years from the Closing Date), and nothing in this Section 9.1 shall be deemed to limit any rights or remedies of any party to this Agreement for breach of any such surviving covenant or agreement or for Fraud, provided, that under no circumstance shall the Seller have liability to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties arising under or related to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (i.e., including liability for Fraud or with respect to any covenant or agreement required to be performed after the Closing, whether pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document) in excess of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the covenants and agreements of the Persons set forth in the Restrictive Covenants Agreements shall expressly survive the Closing for the period expressly contemplated by such covenants and agreements, including as such period may be extended pursuant to the terms thereof, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit any rights or remedies of any party to such Agreements (including for the avoidance of doubt the right to specific performance described therein) for breach or threatened breach thereof.

(b)The Purchaser shall not be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Purchaser hereby waives any such rescission rights. From and after the Closing, the Purchaser hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the Seller, the Seller Owners and each of their respective Non-Recourse Parties, whether in any individual, corporate or any other capacity, from and against any and all other rights, claims and causes of action it may have against the Seller, the Seller Owners, and each of their respective Non-Recourse Parties relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including relating to any Exhibit, Schedule or document delivered hereunder), including whether arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, Law or ordinance or otherwise, including any rights, claims or causes of action with respect to any environmental, health or safety matters, in each case, other than (i) with respect to covenants required to be complied with or fulfilled by such parties at or following the Closing (subject to the limitation in Section 9.1(a)) or (ii) with respect to the indemnification rights set forth in Section 9.1(d).

(c)The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 9.1 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without the agreements set forth in this Section 9.1, the Company and the Seller would not enter into this Agreement or otherwise agree to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but without duplication, following the Closing, the Seller will indemnify and defend the Purchaser Indemnified Parties against, and will hold each Purchaser Indemnified Party harmless from, any Loss actually suffered or incurred or imposed on such Purchaser Indemnified Party to the extent arising out of any breach of a Company Fundamental Representation (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.1(a)). The indemnity recoverable pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) (subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 9), together with any other liability of the Seller arising under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including the following sentence), for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Seller be liable for Losses for Fraud to the extent attributable to Fraud committed by any other Person not acting on behalf, or at the direction, of the Seller, provided, that the Company, in making the representations in Section 3, shall be deemed to be acting on behalf of the Seller (subject to all elements of the “Fraud” definition otherwise being satisfied), provided, further, that any such Losses would be subject to the limitations set forth herein. The sole and exclusive monetary remedies available to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all claims for Losses resulting from or arising out of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant made in this Agreement or Closing Certificate shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9 shall not (a) interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Section 1.3(b) providing for the resolution of disputes regarding the Final Purchase Price Components pursuant to the Dispute Resolution Procedure, (b) limit a party’s liability with respect to covenants required to be complied with or fulfilled by such parties at or following the Closing (subject to the limitation in Section 9.1(a)), (c) limit the rights of the parties to specific performance set forth in Section 11 or (d) limit the rights or remedies of any party under a Restrictive Covenants Agreement.

(e)Any Losses for which any Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses allowing for recovery under more than one provision of this Agreement or as a result of inaccuracies in or breaches of more than one of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

(f)The amount of any Losses for which any Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 9 shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually received (net of reasonable expenses and Taxes or other costs incurred in obtaining such recovery, including any increase in premiums directly attributable to such recovery) by any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to such claim. Any Purchaser Indemnified Party having a claim under this Section 9 for which coverage could be available under any insurance policy shall make a good faith effort to recover any Losses from such insurance policy to reduce the amount of any indemnifiable Losses.

(g)In the event that any Purchaser Indemnified Party desires to seek indemnification under this Section 9, either for a direct claim or third-party claim, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Seller in writing; provided, however, any failure on the part of the Purchaser Indemnified Party to so notify the Seller shall not limit any of the obligations of the Seller under this Section 9 (except and to the extent such failure materially adversely prejudices the Seller).

9.2Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any lawsuit between the parties with regard to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party to any litigation that is finally determined under this Agreement will pay its own expenses and the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, actually incurred by the other party(ies) to such claim.

9.3Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, the parties to this Agreement agree on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates that no Non-Recourse Party of a party to this Agreement shall have any liability relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions set forth herein except to the extent agreed to in writing by such Non-Recourse Party. In no event shall any Non-Recourse Party have any shared or vicarious liability, or otherwise be the subject of legal or equitable claims, for the actions, omissions, or Fraud of any other Person.

10.POST CLOSING MATTERS. Following the Closing Date, the parties agree as follows:

10.1Cooperation. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary (a) to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or (b) to preserve for the Company any right or benefit under any Contract to which the Company is bound for which a required consent, approval or authorization was not obtained prior to the Closing, each of the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other party reasonably may request to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, for no further consideration but all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party.

10.2Tax Matters.

(a)Straddle Tax Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, Tax liabilities with respect to a Tax period which begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Tax Period”) shall be apportioned between the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date and the portion beginning on the day after the Closing Date. The portion of any Taxes for any Straddle Tax Period allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined as follows: (i) in the case of any real and personal property Taxes and franchise Taxes not based on gross or net income, based on the total amount of such Taxes for the relevant Straddle Tax Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in such Straddle Tax Period through (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in such Straddle Tax Period, and (ii) in the case of any Taxes other than those described in clause (i), as if such taxable period ended at the close of the Closing Date (or, in the case of any such Taxes attributable to any equity interest in any partnership or other flowthrough entity, as if the taxable year of such partnership or other flowthrough entity ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date); provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 10.2(a), any transactions outside the Ordinary Course of Business of the Company following the Closing on the Closing Date shall be allocable to the portion of the Straddle Tax Period following the Closing Date and any Transaction Tax Deductions shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date.

(b)Tax Returns. The Seller shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, all Pass-Through Income Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Company, including the pro forma Pass-Through Income Tax Return of the Company used to create Seller’s Pass-Through Income Tax Returns (but for the avoidance of doubt, not including any Pass-Through Income Tax Return of Seller) for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Seller Prepared Tax Returns”). In order to facilitate preparation of such Pass-Through Income Tax Returns, the Purchaser shall, within a reasonable period of time after the Seller’s written request, provide the Seller with such information as the Seller’s shall identify that is reasonably necessary for preparing Pass-Through Income Tax Returns described in this Section 10.2(b). Each Seller Prepared Tax Return due after the Closing Date shall be submitted to the Purchaser at least thirty (30) days before the due date of such Tax Return for the Purchaser’s review, and the Seller shall incorporate any reasonable comments with respect thereto provided by the Purchaser to Seller provided in writing at least five (5) days before the due date of such Tax Return. The Seller will fully and timely pay all Taxes due (including on demand by the Purchaser, if necessary) that are required to be paid by the Company pursuant to applicable Laws or any income Taxes of the Seller or any shareholder of the Seller that are required to be paid by the Company pursuant to an assessment or collection by a Governmental Authority, in each case, in respect of such Seller Prepared Tax Returns, except, in each case, to the extent of the amount of any such Taxes that are included in the calculation of any Final Purchase Price Components.

(c)Cooperation. In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns and audits or examinations relating to the Company by any Governmental Authority or administrative or judicial proceedings resulting therefrom, the Seller and the Purchaser will cooperate fully with one another, and shall, at the requesting party’s expense, (i) provide each other with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the preparation, review, filing or execution of any Tax Return or any Tax Contest or any audit or other examination by any Governmental Authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, and including by executing any powers of attorney or similar authorizations reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Section 10.2(c), and (ii) retain and provide the other party with reasonable access to all records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, Tax Contest or audit, examination or proceeding and make employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided.

(d)Tax Contests. The Purchaser shall promptly provide notice to the Seller upon the receipt of any notice from any Governmental Authority of any pending or threatened audit or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability with respect to the Company relating to a Pass-Through Income Tax Return of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Tax Period (each, a “Tax Contest”). After the Closing Date the Purchaser shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, of any Tax Contest; provided, that (i) the Seller shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest at its own expense, (ii) the Purchaser shall keep the Seller reasonably informed of the progress of any Tax Contest (including the prompt provision to the Seller of all material correspondence, pleadings, protests, briefs and other documents pertaining to such Tax Contest) and (iii) the Purchaser shall not settle, compromise, concede or otherwise resolve any portion of such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e)Purchaser Tax Actions. Following the Closing, neither the Purchaser nor the Company will (and neither the Purchaser nor the Company will cause any of its Affiliates to): (i) amend or modify any Tax Return of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) file, amend or revoke any Tax election for the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) make a voluntary disclosure to a Governmental Authority with respect to any Tax or Tax Return of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (iv) file any Tax Return of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period for a type of Tax in a jurisdiction where the Company has not previously filed such type of Tax Return, in each case, if such action would reasonably be expected to increase cash Taxes payable by Seller or any of its direct or indirect shareholders (including the Seller Owners), without the prior written consent of the Seller, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(f)Transaction Tax Deductions. The Purchaser, its Affiliates, the Company and the Seller each agree that all costs described in items (i)-(iv) of the definition of Transaction Tax Deductions are economically borne by the Seller. Neither the Purchaser, the Company nor any of their respective Affiliates shall take any deduction for any of the Transaction Tax Deductions in any of its Tax Returns nor take any position inconsistent with the agreement in this Section 10.2(f) during an audit or other proceeding with any Governmental Authority.

(g)Transfer Taxes. Any and all transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and real property transfer or gains Tax, stamp Tax, excise Tax, stock transfer Tax, or other similar Tax imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (together with any interest thereon, penalties, fines, fees, additions to tax or additional amounts with respect thereto, collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 50% by the Purchaser and 50% by the Seller. The Purchaser and the Seller agree to cooperate to establish any available exemption from (or otherwise reduce) any such Transfer Taxes, and also agree to cooperate in the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including by promptly supplying any information in their possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such Tax Returns.

(h)Allocation of Purchase Price. The parties agree that the purchase of the Interests hereunder will be treated for tax purposes as a taxable purchase and sale of an undivided interest in the assets of the Company from the Seller to the Purchaser (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). For purposes of determining (x) the Purchaser’s initial Tax basis in the assets of the Company immediately following the Closing and (y) the gain or loss recognized by the Seller upon the sale of the Interests pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchase Price, any assumed liabilities, and any other relevant Tax items will be allocated among the assets of the Company for all Tax purposes in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations adopted thereunder and the methodology set forth on Schedule 10.2(h) (the “Allocation Statement”). No later than sixty (60) days after the final determination of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.3(b), the Purchaser will deliver a copy of its initial determination of the Allocation Statement to the Seller. The Seller will, no later than thirty (30) days after receiving the initial determination of the Allocation Statement from the Purchaser, notify the Purchaser in writing if it disagrees with such initial determination (the “Allocation Notice”), and if the Seller does not provide the Purchaser the Allocation Notice within such thirty (30) day period, the initial Allocation Statement will be final and binding on the parties.

If the Seller timely provides the Allocation Notice to the Purchaser, the Purchaser and the Seller will make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute included in such Allocation Notice. If the Purchaser and the Seller have been unable to resolve their differences within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser has received the Allocation Notice, then any remaining disputed issues will be submitted to the Firm, which will resolve the disagreement in a final binding manner in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule 10.2(h) and the Dispute Resolution Procedure. Except as may be required by Laws, the parties will file all income Tax Returns, forms (including IRS Form 8594) and reports in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and the Allocation Statement (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 10.2(h), and as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof) and agree not to take any position inconsistent therewith before any Governmental Authority charged with the collection of any Tax or in any judicial proceeding, except upon a contrary final determination by such Governmental Authority.

(i)Deferred Revenue. The parties agree (i) that for U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income Tax purposes, any liability that is assumed by the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and that is attributable to prepaid income, advance payments or deferred revenue shall (A) not be treated as giving rise to taxable income of the Purchaser under James M. Pierce Corp. v. Commissioner, 326 F.2d 67 (8th Cir. 1964), or otherwise, and (B) be measured by reference to the cost of performance in respect of the deferred revenue, and (ii) not to take any position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the treatment described in the immediately foregoing clause (i), unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

11.SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to, but not in lieu of, any other remedies that may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements contemplated by this Agreement, each party shall have the right to injunctive relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to specific performance of, the other parties’ covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, without proof of damages. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction or specific performance on the basis that the party seeking such injunction or specific performance has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is otherwise unenforceable. In the event that any party seeks an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, such party shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction or other order, decree, ruling or judgment. The right of specific performance and other non-monetary equitable relief contemplated by this Section 11 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement.

12.PUBLIC STATEMENTS.

(a) Prior to the Closing, (i) neither the Company nor the Seller shall, and such Persons shall cause their respective Representatives not to, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, and (ii) the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, without the prior written approval of the Company, and (b) following the Closing, (i) the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, and (ii) neither the Purchaser nor the Company shall, and such Persons shall cause their respective Representatives not to, without the prior written approval of the Seller, in each case, (1) make any press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent required by Law (including securities Laws of any jurisdiction and rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange), in which case the other party will be so advised as far in advance as possible and will be given an opportunity to comment on such release or announcement, or (2) disclose the Purchase Price, the approximate amount of the Purchase Price, any other financial information from which the approximate amount of the Purchase Price may be determined, or disclose any of the other essential terms of this Agreement except as required by Law (including securities Laws of any jurisdiction and rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange) or required for financial reporting purposes and except that the parties (or their respective Affiliates) may disclose such terms to their respective employees, accountants, advisors and other Representatives or their respective past, present or prospective financing sources or other investors as is reasonably consistent with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses (so long as such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and agree to or are bound by contract or ethical rules to keep the terms of this Agreement and such information confidential on terms substantially similar to the terms that applied immediately prior to the Closing to CACI International Inc, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, under the Confidentiality Agreement).

13.EXPENSES. Except as expressly set forth herein, each party shall bear its own legal and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with its negotiating, executing and performing this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including any related broker’s or finder’s fees incurred by such party, for periods on or before the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser shall solely be responsible for (i) the HSR Act related filing fees, (ii) the cost and any applicable premiums for the Run-Off Policy, and (iii) any Escrow Agent fees.

14.AMENDMENT AND ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement may be amended only by the execution and delivery of a written instrument by or on behalf of (a) prior to the date of the Seller Joinder Agreement and prior to the Closing, the Purchaser and the Company, (b) on or after the date of the Seller Joinder Agreement and prior to the Closing, the Purchaser, the Company and the Seller, and (c) after the Closing, the Purchaser and the Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 20, Section 21, and Section 26 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of Section 26) may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner that is adverse to any Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement (and the parties’ respective rights hereunder) may not be directly or indirectly assigned (by operation of Law or otherwise) by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that following the Closing, the Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any Affiliate of the Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Seller; provided, further, that no assignment shall limit the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

(a)Each party has been represented by its own counsel in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement (including the Exhibits and the Disclosure Schedules). This Agreement is the result of negotiations between the parties and will not be deemed or construed as having been drafted by any one party, and, consequently, each party hereby waives the application of any rule of construction to the effect that any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted or construed against the party whose counsel drafted that provision.

(b)This Agreement constitutes notice to the Purchaser that the Company has engaged Holland & Knight LLP as its legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and the Purchaser hereby (i) consents to the continued representation of the Company by Holland & Knight LLP in relation to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding the fact that Holland & Knight LLP may have represented, and may currently or in the future represent, the Purchaser and/or any of its Affiliates with respect to unrelated matters and (ii) waives any actual or alleged conflict and actual or alleged violation of ethical or comparable rules applicable to Holland & Knight LLP that may arise from its representation of the Company and/or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including representing the Seller, the Company or their respective Affiliates against the Purchaser and/or any of its Affiliates in litigation, arbitration or mediation in connection therewith. In addition, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that its consent and waiver under this Section 22(b) is voluntary and informed, and that the Purchaser has obtained independent legal advice with respect to this consent and waiver.

(c)The parties agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Holland & Knight LLP has represented the Company in connection with this Agreement, and may have also represented the Company in connection with matters other than the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement prior to the Closing, Holland & Knight LLP will be permitted in the future, after the Closing, to represent one or more of Affiliates of the Company, including the Seller, or their respective equity holders, officers, directors or managers in connection with matters in which such Affiliates or their respective equity holders, officers, directors or managers are adverse to the Company, including any disputes that such Affiliates or their respective equity holders, officers, directors or managers may hereafter have against the Company and/or with the Purchaser arising out of, or related to, this Agreement. The Company and the Purchaser, who is represented by independent counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, hereby agree, in advance, to waive any actual or potential conflict of interest that may hereafter arise in connection with Holland & Knight LLP’s future representation of one or more of the Company’s Affiliates or their respective equity holders, officers, directors or managers in connection with disputes that arise out of this Agreement or that are substantially related to this Agreement and in which the interests of such Affiliate or its equity holders, officers, directors or managers are adverse to the interests of the Company and/or the Purchaser.

(d)The parties agree that, immediately prior to the Closing, without the need for any further action, (i) all right, title and interest of the Company in and to all Protected Communications shall thereupon transfer to and be vested solely in the Seller, and (ii) any and all protections from disclosure, including attorney-client privileges and work product protections, associated with or arising from any Protected Communications that would have been exercisable by the Company shall thereupon be vested exclusively in the Seller and shall be exercised or waived solely as directed by the Seller. All rights, files, and information that are not Protected Communications, including matters that relate to the operation of the Company, shall belong to the Purchaser and the Company. None of the Company, the Purchaser or any Person acting on any of their behalf shall, without the prior written consent of the Seller, assert or waive or attempt to assert or waive any such protection against disclosure of Protected Communications, including the attorney-client privilege or work product protection with respect to any Protected Communications in connection with any dispute with the Seller relating to this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Purchaser or the Company, on the one hand, and a Person other than the Seller or one of its Affiliates, on the other hand, after the Closing, the Purchaser and the Company, as applicable, may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of Protected Communications to such third party. In furtherance of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the Seller, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives may take action to protect from access or remove from the premises of the Company (or any offsite back-up or other facilities) any Protected Communications, including by segregating, encrypting, copying, exporting or otherwise taking possession of any Protected Communications, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms and conditions of the Company’s Contracts. In the event that any Protected Communications remain accessible to the Purchaser or the Company following the Closing, the Purchaser agrees that it will not use the Protected Communications in connection with any dispute with the Seller related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

24.EXHIBITS, APPENDICES AND DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES. The Exhibits, Appendices, Disclosure Schedules, and other Schedules referenced in this Agreement are a material part of this Agreement. Subject to the limitations in this Section 24, each Disclosure Schedule will be deemed incorporated into this Agreement. The Disclosure Schedules are intended to supplement and/or qualify, as applicable, the representations, warranties, and covenants in the Agreement and shall not be deemed to expand or limit in any way the scope or effect of any such representations, warranties, or covenants. No Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement, law or regulation shall be construed as an admission that any such breach or violation has actually occurred. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Disclosure Schedules will be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter disclosed is material or such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules. Disclosures made for the purpose of any one Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed made for the purpose of all representations and warranties so long as the applicability to the other representations and warranties is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure. Any reference to a contract, statement, plan, report or other document of any kind in the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be a disclosure thereof to the extent the applicable representation or warranty calls for a listing of the same and it shall not in such case be necessary to identify or reference specific provisions of such documents except to the extent necessary to clarify or qualify such disclosure.

The Purchaser, the Seller and their respective agents will cooperate with the Firm during its resolution of any disagreements included in an Objection Notice or Allocation Notice, as applicable. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the Firm shall make its determination in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement and in Exhibit E; provided that any delay in delivering such determination shall not invalidate the award or otherwise deprive the Firm of jurisdiction. The Firm will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Objection Notice or Allocation Notice, as applicable, that the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, are unable to resolve in accordance with Section 1.3(b)(ii). In resolving any disputed item, the Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by any party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by any party. Except as otherwise specified herein or in Exhibit E, the scope of the disputes to be determined by the Firm is limited to whether the preparation of the Final Closing Statement and the calculation of the Closing Purchase Price Components were done in a manner consistent with Section 1.3 and whether there were mathematical errors in the preparation of the Final Closing Statement or the calculation of any Closing Purchase Price Component or, as applicable, whether the preparation of the Allocation Statement was done in a manner consistent with Section 10.2(h) and whether there were mathematical errors in the preparation of the Allocation Statement, and the Firm is not to make any other determination unless requested in writing by the Seller and the Purchaser.

The Firm’s determination of the Final Purchase Price Components, including each of the components thereof, or the Allocation Statement, including the components thereof, as applicable, shall be based solely on written materials submitted by the Purchaser and the Seller (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions included herein. It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the process set forth in this definition of “Dispute Resolution Procedure” and the activities of the Firm in connection herewith are not (and should not be considered to be or treated as) an arbitration proceeding or similar arbitral process and that no formal arbitration rules should be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). The Purchaser and the Seller shall instruct the Firm to make its determination as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The fees and disbursements of the Firm and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the parties (collectively, the “Purchase Price Adjustment Dispute Expenses”) shall be borne (i) by the Purchaser in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items that are successfully disputed by the Seller (as finally determined by the Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all disputed items and (ii) by the Seller in accordance with the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Seller (as finally determined by the Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all disputed items. For example, if the parties dispute $1,000,000 of a proposed Purchase Price Adjustment to be paid to the Seller, the Firm determines that such payment should be $400,000 and the Purchase Price Adjustment Dispute Expenses are $100,000, then (i) the Purchaser shall pay $40,000 (40%) of the Purchase Price Adjustment Dispute Expenses and (ii) the Seller shall pay $60,000 (60%) of the Purchase Price Adjustment Dispute Expenses. The determination of the Firm as to any disputed matters shall be set forth in a written report of award delivered to the Purchaser and the Seller, and shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding on the parties and shall not be subject to collateral attack for any reason. The parties agree that judgment may be entered upon the written report of award of the Firm in any court located in Fairfax, Virginia. Prior to the Firm’s determination as provided for herein, (i) the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, will each pay fifty percent (50%) of any retainer paid to the Firm; and (ii) during the engagement of the Firm, the Firm will bill fifty percent (50%) of the total charges to each of the Purchaser, on the one hand, and by the Seller, on the other hand. In connection with the Firm’s determination as provided for herein, the Firm shall also determine, taking into account all fees and expenses already paid by each of the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, as of the date of such determination, the allocation of the Purchase Price Adjustment Dispute Expenses between the Purchaser and the Seller, which such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.
