additional twenty-four (24) months with respect to any Non-Assignable Asset with respect to which the Company unreasonably does not provide its consent pursuant to the proviso in clause (A) above for so long as Seller withholds such consent, and Seller shall continue to pass-through the rights and benefits under such Non-Assignable Asset at no additional cost to Buyer. Following such twenty-four (24)-month period as such period may be extended pursuant to the foregoing proviso, the parties will discuss in good faith any appropriate accommodations or arrangements with respect to any such rights that have not been assigned at such time. If after the Closing Date, a Non-Assignable Asset becomes assignable (either because consent for the assignment or execution thereof is obtained or otherwise), the Company shall reasonably promptly notify the Buyer after becoming aware of such fact and cooperate to assign or transfer such previously Non-Assignable Asset or provide such sublease or service to the Buyer or the applicable Buyer Designee for no additional consideration. Any costs and expenses arising out of or related to the obligations described in this Section 2.2(a), including, for the avoidance of doubt, in relation to seeking or obtaining any necessary third party consents before or after the Closing, or any special arrangements between the Company and the Buyer after the Closing, shall be paid in full by, and be the sole obligation of, the Company.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, neither the failure to transfer any Transferred Asset or Assumed Liability, including any Non-Assignable Asset or Non-Assumable Liability or any claim, right, or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom to be transferred to, or assumed by, the Buyer or retained by the Company, as applicable, nor the indemnification rights of the Buyer set forth herein, shall in and of itself result in any adjustment to the Final Purchase Price.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, no asset held by an Acquired Subsidiary shall constitute a Non-Assignable Asset and no Liability held by an Acquired Subsidiary shall constitute a Non-Assumable Liability.

2.3 Consideration. The consideration for the sale and transfer of the Transferred Assets shall consist of (a) the assumption by the Buyer or one or more Buyer Designees of the Assumed Liabilities as of the Closing, and (b) the sum of $145,000,000 payable to the Company in cash (the “Base Purchase Price”), allocated among the Sellers as determined pursuant to Section 2.5 below, which amount shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.5 and 2.6.

2.4 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place (i) remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signature pages, commencing at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the third (3rd) Business Day after all of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at that time) are satisfied or waived (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) or (ii) at such other place, time or date as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Company and the Buyer (the date on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”); provided, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not have any obligation whatsoever to consummate the Closing until March 8, 2026.

2.5 Payment of the Purchase Price.

(a) At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer or one or more Buyer Designees shall pay an amount equal to the Estimated Purchase Price to the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with written instructions provided to the Buyer by or on behalf of the Company not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) which will set forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the amount of (i) Closing Net Working Capital in

accordance with the line items and format for such statement attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”) together with the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, (ii) Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), (iii) Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses”) and (iv) Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash ”). Following delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, the Company shall (x) be reasonably available to the Buyer and its Representatives to discuss the Estimated Closing Statement in good faith, including by answering the Buyer’s and its Representatives’ reasonable questions related thereto, (y) consider Buyer’s and its Representatives’ reasonable comments thereto in good faith and (z) make available and provide (or cause to be made available and provided), such supporting information, including work papers, books and records used in the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement, in each case, to the extent reasonably requested by the Buyer or its Representatives; provided, that the Buyer shall not have any right to delay Closing or the payment of the Estimated Purchase Price as a result of any disagreement with such estimates set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement absent manifest error.

(c) Within a reasonable period of time following the Closing Date, the Company and the Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to mutually determine the allocation of the Final Purchase Price (as adjusted) among the Sellers with respect to the Transferred Assets. The Parties shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to not, take any position or action inconsistent with such mutually agreed allocation except upon a final determination by an applicable Governmental Entity. With respect to any payment that is required to be made by or to any Seller, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to designate which Seller shall make or receive such payment.

2.6 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Company a statement (the “Post-Closing Adjustment Statement”) of (i) the Closing Net Working Capital in accordance with the line items and format for such statement attached hereto as Exhibit J, together with the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, (ii) the Closing Indebtedness, (iii) the Closing Transaction Expenses and (iv) Closing Cash, which Post-Closing Adjustment Statement shall include an itemized list of each element of the assets and of the liabilities included in such calculations.

(b) Within forty-five (45) days after the Company’s receipt of the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement, the Company shall notify the Buyer whether it accepts or disputes the accuracy of the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement. In the event that the Company disputes the accuracy of the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement, the Company shall deliver a written notice to the Buyer specifying in reasonable detail those items or amounts as to which the Company disagrees along with the Company’s calculation of such amounts (a “Dispute Notice”) and the Company shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement. In the event that the Company notifies the Buyer that it accepts the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement, or does not deliver a Dispute Notice to the Buyer, during such forty-five (45)-day period, the Company shall be considered to have accepted the accuracy of the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement delivered by the Buyer and such Post-Closing Adjustment Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties absent manifest error. The Buyer shall give to the Company, and its Representatives, all such reasonable access (including electronic access, to the extent available) during normal business hours (or such other times as the Parties may agree) as the Company may reasonably request to the books and records of the Business and to the appropriate Business Employees and other personnel or Representatives of the Buyer (including but not limited to finance personnel) for the purposes of the preparation of a Dispute Notice.

(c) If a Dispute Notice shall be timely delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 2.6(b) above, the Buyer and the Company shall, during the twenty (20) Business Days following such delivery (as such time period may be extended by the mutual agreement of the Parties), use all commercially

reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items. If the Company and the Buyer resolve their differences over the disputed items in the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement in accordance with the foregoing procedure, the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement shall be revised to reflect such resolution and the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Closing Cash agreed upon by the Company and the Buyer as reflected in such revised Post-Closing Adjustment Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties.

(d) If the Parties fail to resolve their differences over any of the disputed items in the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement within such twenty (20) Business Day period, then the Company and the Buyer shall forthwith jointly request that PricewaterhouseCoopers, or if PricewaterhouseCoopers is unwilling or unable to so serve (including as a result of any potential auditor independence issue by reason of also serving as auditor for Buyer or its Affiliates) such other nationally recognized accounting firm that is mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Review Accountant”) make a binding determination as to such remaining disputed items in the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Review Accountant will under the terms of its engagement have no more than thirty (30) days from the date of referral within which to render its written decision with respect to such disputed items. The Review Accountant shall consider only those items or amounts in the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement as to which the Company has disagreed in the Dispute Notice and which items or amounts have not subsequently been resolved by the Parties. The Parties shall each (i) promptly provide their respective assertions regarding the disputed amounts, in writing, to the Review Accountant and to each other, and (ii) have the opportunity to provide to the Review Accountant and to the other a written response to the other’s written assertion promptly after receipt thereof. The Review Accountant shall deliver to the Company and the Buyer a written report setting forth its adjustments, if any, to the Post-Closing Adjustment Statement based on the Review Accountant’s determination with respect to the disputed items and such report shall include the calculations supporting such adjustments. Such report shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. In the event that the Review Accountant assigns a value to any disputed item or amount that is greater than the greatest value claimed, or assigns a value to any disputed item or amount that is less than the smallest value claimed, in each case, by either the Company or the Buyer, as applicable, the value of such item or amount shall be adjusted downwards or upwards, as applicable, such that the value of item or amount shall be deemed equal to such greatest claimed value or to such smallest claimed value, as applicable.

(e) The costs and expenses of the Review Accountant shall be allocated between the Company, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party. For example, if the Company claims the Closing Net Working Capital is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by the Buyer and if the Review Accountant ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Company $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the costs and expenses of the review shall be allocated thirty percent (30%) (i.e., $300 ÷ 1,000) to the Buyer and seventy percent (70%) (i.e., $700 ÷ 1,000) to the Company.

(f) Disputes. For the sake of clarity, (x) any dispute between or among the Parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates concerning or affecting the calculation of the Final Purchase Price (or any of the components thereof) (including whether any such items are being calculated in accordance with the defined terms thereof and the meaning of any such terms or principles relevant to any such calculations) shall be subject to the process contemplated by ‎Section 2.6 and the exclusive jurisdiction of the Review Accountant (and shall not be subject to the jurisdiction of any of the courts as contemplated by ‎Section 11.3 hereof), (y) nor may any Party assert or claim that the interpretation of any other provision of this Agreement must be interpreted by a court in accordance with Section 11.3 hereof before the Review Accountant can finally determine any dispute regarding the calculation of the Final Purchase Price (or any component thereof) in accordance with this ‎Section 2.6 ‎‎regarding any such calculation, and (z) if any Party

or any of its Affiliates files a claim in any court in violation of this Section 2.6(f), the other Party shall be entitled to specific performance to enforce this ‎‎Section 2.6(f) and require any such dispute by the Parties to be resolved in accordance with the remainder of this ‎‎Section 2.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the sake of clarity, (i) in the event the Parties reach final agreement on the matters contemplated by this Section 2.6 or the Review Accountant reaches a final determination on such matters, nothing in this ‎‎Section 2.6(f) shall prevent any party from seeking an order from a court in accordance with ‎‎Section 11.3 to enforce such agreement or determination, and (ii) nothing in this ‎‎Section 2.6(f) shall prevent any party from filing one or more claims in any court in accordance with ‎Section 11.3 (A) seeking to enforce such Party’s rights or any other party’s obligations under ‎‎Section 2.6 or (B) seeking to enforce the procedural requirements (e.g., timing requirements or limits) set forth in this ‎‎Section 2.6.

(g) Within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Closing Indebtedness, Final Closing Transaction Expenses and Final Closing Cash in accordance with this Section 2.6:

(i) If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price (the amount by which the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, the “Decrease Amount”), the Company shall pay to the Buyer a cash amount in U.S. dollars equal to the Decrease Amount.

(ii) If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price (the amount by which the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, the “Increase Amount”), the Buyer shall pay to the Company a cash amount in U.S. dollars equal to the Increase Amount.

(iii) If the Final Purchase Price is equal to the Estimated Purchase Price, then no adjustment amount shall be paid by either the Buyer or the Company pursuant to this Section 2.6.

2.7 Withholding. The Buyer will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement any withholding Taxes or other amounts required under the Code or any applicable Law to be deducted and withheld. If the Buyer becomes aware that any such withholding may be required, it shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify and consult with the Company, as appropriate, regarding any applicable withholding Taxes and (b) cooperate with the Company in good faith to reduce the amount required to be deducted and withheld in accordance with applicable Law. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be promptly paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority and such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deductions and withholding was made. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide evidence that the amount deducted and withheld has been remitted to the appropriate Tax Authority within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

2.8 Buyer Designee. The Parties agree that the Buyer may assign the right to purchase certain of the Transferred Assets to one or more Buyer Designees or designate one or more Buyer Designees to enter into a Transaction Agreement in lieu of the Buyer, in each case, to the extent that the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to delay the Closing. The Buyer hereby agrees (i) to indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers from any Losses incurred thereby as a result of such assignment or designation and (ii), without derogating from the foregoing, if such assignment or designation increases the amount required to be withheld pursuant to Section 2.7, to pay, or cause the applicable Buyer Designee to pay, the applicable Seller(s) an amount such that the Seller(s) receive(s), after such withholding, the same amount such Seller(s) would have received had no assignment been made. Notwithstanding any such assignment or execution of

a Transaction Agreement by a Buyer Designee, the Buyer shall remain liable for, and any such assignment or execution shall not relieve the Buyer of, its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Any reference to the Buyer in this Agreement shall to the extent applicable also be deemed a reference to the applicable Buyer Designee, except where in context of this Agreement such use would not be appropriate.

3.9 Employee Benefits.

(a) List of Employee Plans. Section 3.9(a)(1) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and correct list of all (i) material Employee Plans and (ii) Employee Plans related to the Transferred Employee Plan Assets; provided, however, that, to the extent there exist certain forms of agreements or arrangements that would constitute such Employee Plans, the Company shall be required to list only the forms of such agreements or arrangements other than any such agreement or arrangement constituting such Employee Plan that materially deviates from the applicable form.

(D) assisting the Buyer (1) with obtaining appraisals and field exams required in connection with the Debt Financing and (2) by providing information reasonably requested to permit the Buyer to complete any borrowing base certificate required in connection with the Debt Financing; and

warranty set forth in Section 3.4 hereof as if such financial statements were the Financial Statements and the Company shall promptly furnish any supplement or substitute necessary to cause the Required Information to satisfy such representation and warranty prior to the Closing Date.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.5(b):

(A) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to provide any financial (or other) information that (1) is not produced in the ordinary course of business, (2) cannot be produced or provided under its current reporting systems, (3) constitutes pro forma financial statements, including pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any pro forma financial information or (4) constitutes a description of all or any portion of the Debt Financing, including any information customarily provided by the providers of the Debt Financing or their counsel;

(B) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to provide access to or disclose information that the Company determines in good faith would jeopardize any attorney client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality requirements applicable to, or conflict with or violate any law applicable to, the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, that the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford disclosure to the extent compatible with the maintenance of such privilege or confidentiality requirements and inform the Buyer that such information is being withheld;

(F) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to give any indemnities in connection with the Debt Financing;

(H) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to take any action that would conflict with or violate its organizational documents or any applicable laws or would result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party.

In addition, any bank information memoranda or memoranda required in relation to the Debt Financing will contain disclosure and financial statements reflecting the Buyer or its Affiliates as the obligor. Nothing in this Section 5.5(b) will require (A) any officer or Representative of the

For the avoidance of doubt, a breach by the Company of this Section 5.5(b) that (x) is not a Willful Breach or (y) does not result in the Buyer being unable to obtain the Debt Financing or being able to obtain the Debt Financing only on terms materially more adverse to the Buyer than the Buyer would otherwise have obtained shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(c) No Debt Financing Condition. Notwithstanding this Section 5.5 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Buyer affirms that it is not a condition to the Closing or to any of the Buyer’s other obligations under this Agreement that the Buyer (or the Company) obtain or receive proceeds from any financing for or related to the transactions contemplated hereby (including receipt of all or any portion of the proceeds of the Debt Financing).

(ii) The Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries, their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Debt Financing Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, interest, costs or expenses (including legal fees and expenses), awards, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in settlement suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the Debt Financing (other than from information provided by or on behalf of the Seller, the Company or their affiliates); provided, that the forgoing shall not apply to matters resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Debt Financing Indemnified Person.

assume the defense and control of any such claim, demand, Action, and the other Party shall provide reasonably requested necessary support in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) the Company shall not be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Assumed Liability without the consent of the Buyer, (2) the Buyer shall not be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Excluded Liability without the consent of the Company and (3) any Losses incurred by the Company or its Affiliates in respect of any such Assumed Liability, or any Losses incurred by the Buyer or its Affiliates in respect of any such Excluded Liability, shall be deemed to be Assumed Liabilities and Excluded Liabilities, respectively, and the Buyer and the Company shall reimburse the Company and the Buyer, respectively, for any such Losses.

5.15 Non-Competition.

(a) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer would be irreparably damaged if the Company or any of its Affiliates were to engage in a Competing Business and that any such competition by the Company or its Affiliates would result in a significant loss of goodwill by the Buyer.

goodwill of the Business sold by the Company, except with the prior written consent of the Buyer, at all times until three (3) years following the Closing Date, the Company will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, engage in a Competing Business worldwide.

(a) The Company agrees that from and after the Closing Date until the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Solicitation Period”), it shall not, and shall cause its current and future Affiliates not to, solicit for employment or retention any Person who is a Transferred Employee; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit soliciting by the Company or its Affiliates by general advertisements or other general recruitment techniques in the ordinary course of business so long as such advertisements or techniques are not directed at any such employee or group of such employees and the hiring of any such individual that the Company demonstrates was first contacted by the Company or its Affiliates pursuant to such general advertisements or general recruitment techniques.

(b) The Buyer agrees that during the Non-Solicitation Period, it shall not, and it shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or retention any Person employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit soliciting by the Buyer or its Affiliates by general advertisements or other general recruitment techniques in the ordinary course of business so long as such advertisements or techniques are not directed at any such employee or group of such employees and the hiring of any such individual that the Buyer demonstrates was first contacted by the Buyer or such affiliate pursuant to such general advertisements or general recruitment techniques.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the exhibits to the Transition Services Agreement, having such mutually agreed terms, shall be attached to the Transition Services Agreement to be executed and delivered by the Company and the Buyer at the Closing. In furtherance of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the Company and the Buyer will negotiate in good faith to agree to Schedules to the Transition Services Agreement, which Schedules shall provide for Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) in terms of timing, quantity and scope substantially as set forth in Schedule ‎5.17.

The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Transferred IPR is assigned and transferred pursuant to this Agreement subject to all Licenses to or under the Transferred IPR granted as of the Closing Date that by operation of law or by their terms continue to encumber such Transferred IPR upon and following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,

including all Licenses granted pursuant to the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement. The Buyer shall ensure that any assignee, transferee or successor of any Transferred IPR from the Buyer, or any other Person that is granted any License or any enforcement rights with respect thereto (each such assignee, transferee, successor or other such Person, a “Transferee”), acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing, and agrees to bind all subsequent Transferees to the same acknowledgment and agreement. Any assignment, transfer or succession of Transferred IPR in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio.

(b) Prior to Closing, the Company shall terminate or transfer the employment of each Employee who is not a Business Employee but is employed by an Acquired Subsidiary to the Company or one of its Affiliates (other than an Acquired Subsidiary).

(c) Automatic Transferred Employees. The employment of the Automatic Transferred Employees will not be terminated upon Closing, but rather the rights, powers, duties, liabilities and obligations of the applicable Employing Subsidiaries under the contracts of employment of such employees (except for any Liabilities which are expressly prohibited from transfer under the Transfer

Regulations or applicable Law) in force immediately before Closing shall have the effect as if such contracts were originally agreed with the Buyer, in accordance with applicable Laws, including the Transfer Regulations. In accordance with applicable Laws, including the Transfer Regulations, the employment of the Automatic Transferred Employees will transfer to the Buyer effective as of immediately following the Closing (or such later date provided by applicable Laws).

(d) Non-Automatic Transferred Employees. For each Business Employee who is not an Automatic Transferred Employee and whose employment cannot be assigned to an Acquired Subsidiary prior to Closing (each, an “Offered Employee”), before the Closing, the Buyer shall offer employment that is effective as of the Closing, subject to and in accordance with applicable Law, including Laws regarding employment-related Permit and consistent with the terms set forth in Section 6.1(e) below, to all such Offered Employees; provided, however, that the Offered Employees shall not include, except as otherwise required by applicable Laws, up to twenty (20) Business Employees serving in general and administrative positions as listed in Section 6.1(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule or as may be subsequently mutually agreed between Buyer and the Company, shall not be transferred to the Buyer or receive offers of employment from, or requests for consent to assignment to, the Buyer. Those Offered Employees who accept such offer of employment from the Buyer, with such acceptance effective as of the Closing, and commence employment with the Buyer immediately following the Closing, along with all Automatic Transferred Employees and the Business Employees of any Acquired Subsidiary following the effectuation of the Restructuring, shall be defined as the “Transferred Employees.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Business Employee (other than an Automatic Transferred Employee) who is on a leave of absence as of immediately prior to the Closing (each, an “On-Leave Employee”), such Business Employee shall be retained by the Company and its Affiliates (other than an Acquired Subsidiary). If an On-Leave Employee returns to active employment within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing, the Buyer shall make an offer of employment to such Business Employee in accordance with this Section 6.1(d), and upon such Business Employee’s acceptance of such offer, such Business Employee shall be deemed as Transferred Employee for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) (i) Subject to any more favorable requirements under applicable Laws, for a period of at least twelve (12) months following the Closing (or, if earlier, until a Transferred Employee’s employment terminates), the Buyer shall provide to each Transferred Employee who remains employed and who is not covered under a Labor Agreement (A) a base salary, wages, or commission rates (if applicable) or target annual cash incentive compensation opportunities that are, in the aggregate, at least at the same level as in effect with respect to such employee immediately prior to the Closing and (B) based on the jurisdiction in which a Transferred Employee is employed, employee benefits including policies and practices related to severance (other than defined benefit pension, deferred compensation, retiree health and welfare, equity-based compensation and other long-term incentives) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of the Buyer within that jurisdiction as a group immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) the Buyer shall provide to the Company reasonably sufficient information regarding the compensation and employee benefits to be provided to Transferred Employees by the Buyer, as set forth in Section 6.1(e)(i) above, in sufficient time to enable the Company and an Employing Subsidiary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any related agreements or arrangements, including any transition services, secondment and employee leasing agreements or arrangements, and to meet their notification, information and consultation requirements, pursuant to the Labor Agreements, Transfer Regulations and other applicable Laws.

(f) Effective from and following the Closing Date, the Company and the Buyer shall take all actions necessary and appropriate to effectuate the assumption by or transfer to the Buyer of any Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities with respect to the employment or transfer of employment of any Transferred Employee.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in accordance with applicable Law, effective from and following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall take all actions necessary to, where required by applicable Law, assume or replicate in all respects the terms of the Labor Agreements.

(h) Subject to any more favorable requirements under applicable Law, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting, determination of level of benefits and benefit accruals (other than under any defined benefit pension or retiree health and welfare arrangements), Transferred Employees’ employment service with the Company and its Affiliates (or predecessor employers to the extent the Company and its Affiliates provide past service credit) shall be treated as employment service with the Buyer with respect to each benefit plan, program, practice, policy or arrangement (including, but not limited to, severance plans, policies or arrangements and paid time off, vacation and sick leave policies) maintained by the Buyer following the Closing for the benefit of any Transferred Employees; provided, however, that such prior employment service shall not be required to be recognized with respect to defined benefit pension plans that are maintained by the Buyer and in effect immediately prior to the Closing or to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or where prohibited by applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to Non-Automatic Transferred Employees employed in jurisdictions that recognize continuity of service, the Buyer shall recognize the continuous years of service of such Non-Automatic Transferred Employees so that for purposes of the Buyer’s severance plans or applicable Laws, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not constitute a severance of employment with respect to such Transferred Employees prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(i) In addition to the requirements imposed by applicable Law, and except where prohibited by applicable Law, the Buyer shall recognize and credit each Transferred Employee’s paid time off, vacation or similar leave that is accrued but unused immediately prior to the Closing.

(j) The Buyer shall assume and be solely responsible for and agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and, at the option of the Company, to defend the Company or any of its respective Affiliates from and against any Liability under the WARN Act on or after the Closing Date as a result of the Buyer’s actions or omissions, including but not limited to failure to serve sufficient notice pursuant to the WARN Act.

(k) The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to comply with any and all obligations and requirements under the Labor Agreements, Transfer Regulations and other applicable Laws to (i) notify or consult with Automatic Transferred Employees, other affected employees or Employee Representative Bodies, if any, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) if and when required by applicable Law, to require the prior authorization and employment-related Permits by the relevant labor administration of the employment transfer to the Buyer; provided, that the Buyer shall provide the information required by the Company and each Employing Subsidiary in sufficient time to enable the Company and each Employing Subsidiary to meet their notification, information and consultation requirements, pursuant to the Labor Agreements, Transfer Regulations and other applicable Laws.

(l) The Buyer shall employ the Transferred Employees who are foreign nationals working in the United States under terms and conditions such that the Buyer will be considered the successor-in-interest to the Business for U.S. immigration purposes. The Parties shall cooperate to provide that any Transferred Employees who are foreign nationals working on a visa or other work permit will be able to maintain such visa or other work permit following the Closing.

(m) Nothing contained in this Section 6.1(m) or any other provision of this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to (i) create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any

current or former employee, director, consultant, or independent contractor of the Company or its Affiliates (including any dependent or beneficiary thereof) or any other Person (including any union, works council, or collective bargaining representative or any participant in any Employee Plan (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof)) other than the Parties to this Agreement, (ii) create any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period or to a particular term or condition of employment, or otherwise interfere with the rights of the Company, the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates to amend or terminate any employee benefit plans at any time (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws), discharge or discipline any employee, or change the terms of employment of any employee (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws), or (iii) amend, terminate or otherwise modify any employee benefit plan of the Company, the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, in each case, to the extent the Company, the Buyer, and their respective Affiliates comply with applicable Laws.

(n) Except as set forth in Schedule 6.1(n), the Company shall cancel each Transferred Employee’s unvested Company Restricted Stock Units at the Closing and shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash equal to (i) the number of such unvested Company Restricted Stock Units determined as of the Closing, multiplied by (ii) the average closing day Company stock price over the thirty (30)-day period prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall use such amounts to establish a cash bonus pool, which bonuses shall be payable to the Transferred Employee on the ninety (90)-day anniversary of the Closing Date subject to either (i) the Transferred Employee’s continued employment by the Buyer or an Affiliate thereof (including any Acquired Subsidiary) on such date, or (ii) the termination of the Transferred Employee’s employment prior to such date, other than for “Cause” (as such term or any substantially equivalent term is defined in the applicable employment Contract for the Transferred Employee or, if none (or if “Cause” or a substantially equivalent term is not defined therein), as such term is customarily understood). On such ninety (90)-day anniversary, Buyer will certify to Seller that it has in fact paid such amounts to the Transferred Employees, and any portion of such amounts not so paid shall be promptly (and within five (5) days) remitted by the Buyer to the Company.

(o) During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX, (i) the Buyer shall be entitled to communicate with the Business Employees set forth in Section 6.1(o) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Key Business Employees”) and (ii) the Company shall afford the Buyer and its Representatives, upon reasonable advance written notice, the opportunity to conduct meetings, in the presence of one or more Representatives of the Company, with up to thirty-five (35) Business Employees mutually identified by the Key Business Employees and Seller in good faith for the purpose of enabling the Buyer to evaluate the roles and responsibilities of such Business Employees and the terms of any offers of employment to be made to such Business Employees.

Article IX

TERMINATION

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

(a) by mutual written consent of the Company and the Buyer;

(b) by either the Company or the Buyer upon written notice to the other, if:

(i) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before June 8, 2026 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however that (A) if, on such date, the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(d) shall not have been satisfied but all conditions to Closing other than the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(d) (other than conditions, which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is, as of such date, capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time), then the Outside Date shall automatically be extended until September 8, 2026, in which case, the Outside Date shall be deemed for all purposes

to be such later date and (B) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose failure or whose Affiliate’s failure to perform any covenant or obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of or has primarily resulted in the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur on or before the Outside Date; or

(ii) if any Order issued, or Law enacted, entered or promulgated, by a Governmental Entity permanently restrains, enjoins or prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and such Order becomes effective and final and nonappealable;

(c) by the Company upon written notice to the Buyer if the Buyer shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, and such breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) and (ii) (x) cannot be or is not cured prior to the Outside Date or (y) has not been cured prior to the date that is thirty (30) days from the date that the Buyer is notified by the Company in writing of such breach or failure to perform; provided, however, that the Company is not then in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(d) by the Buyer upon written notice to the Company if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, and such breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) and (ii) (x) cannot be or is not cured prior to the Outside Date or (y) has not been cured prior to the date that is thirty (30) days from the date that the Company is notified by the Buyer in writing of such breach or failure to perform; provided, however, that the Buyer is not then in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) By the Company upon written notice to the Buyer if (i) the Buyer is not entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(d), (ii) all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VIII are satisfied or waived at the time of such termination as if the Closing were held at the time of such termination (other than conditions that, by their nature, only can be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, provided, that each such condition is then capable of and would be satisfied assuming a Closing would occur at such time), (iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to the Buyer that (A) all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VIII are satisfied or waived at the time of such termination as if the Closing were held at the time of such termination (other than conditions that, by their nature, only can be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) and (B) if the Buyer were to perform its obligations hereunder then the Company would be prepared to consummate the Closing and stand ready, willing, and able to effect the Closing at the time of termination and (iv) the Buyer fails to consummate the Closing within three (3) Business Days after the delivery of the confirmation by Company required by clause (iii) hereof; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, nothing shall prevent the Company from seeking or receiving a grant of specific performance to cause the Closing in lieu of terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e).

9.2 Effect of Termination. Subject to Section 9.3, in the event of termination of this Agreement by either or both of the Company or the Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall terminate and become void and have no effect, and there shall be no Liability on the part of any Party to this Agreement, other than for Liability for its Fraud or its Willful Breach of covenants in this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 9.2, Section 9.3 and Article XI (General Provisions) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. The obligations of the Parties under the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.

9.3 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(e) or (ii) by the Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i) and at such time the Company was entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(e), the Buyer shall pay to the Company a cash amount equal to $12,500,000 (the “Financing Termination Fee”). In the event that this Agreement is terminated (x) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(c) (solely in the event of the Buyer’s Willful Breach of Section 5.3) or (y) by either party pursuant to (A) Section 9.1(b)(i) as a result of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) (to the extent relating to a Specified Antitrust Law or the French FDI Regime) not being satisfied by the Outside Date or (B) Section 9.1(b)(ii) (to the extent relating to a Specified Antitrust Law or the French FDI Regime), and, in the case of clauses (x) and (y) at or prior to the time of such termination, the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 other than any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) (to the extent relating to a Specified Antitrust Law or the French FDI Regime) have been satisfied or waived by the Buyer (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, so long as such conditions remain capable of being so satisfied at Closing), the Buyer will pay to the Company a cash amount equal to $5,000,000 (together with the Financing Termination Fee, as applicable, the “Termination Fee”).

(b) The Buyer acknowledges that (i) the agreement contained in Section 9.3(a) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the amount of, and the basis for payment of, the fee described therein is reasonable and appropriate in all respects and (iii) without this agreement, the Company would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Buyer fails to pay in a timely manner the applicable Termination Fee and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company makes a claim that results in a judgment for the amount set forth in Section 9.3(a), the Buyer shall pay to the Company its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount set forth in Section 9.3(a) at the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. in effect from time to time from the date such payment was required to be made hereunder, provided, that the aggregate amount of such payment obligation shall not exceed $750,000. All payments under this Section 9.3 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company.

(c) If the Buyer is obligated to pay and does pay the applicable Termination Fee under Section 9.3(a), the Company’s receipt of the Termination Fee (together with any enforcement costs pursuant to Section 9.3(b), if, and solely to the extent, payable) in full shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and any of its Affiliates against the Buyer, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, advisors, consultants, agents and each of their respective assignees (collectively, but excluding the Buyer, the “Buyer Related Parties”) for any Losses suffered as a result of the failure of the Closing to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder, and neither the Buyer nor any Buyer Related Party shall have any further Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement. The Buyer Related Parties are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 9.3(c). The Company further agrees that, if the Buyer is obligated to pay and does timely pay the applicable Termination Fee under Section 9.3(a), the maximum aggregate liability of the Buyer Related Parties, taken as a whole, under this Agreement and the agreements contemplated hereby (including the other Transaction Documents) shall be limited to an amount equal to the amount of the applicable Termination Fee (together with any enforcement costs pursuant to Section 9.3(b), if, and solely to the extent, payable), and in no event shall, the Company or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives seek to recover, or be entitled to recover, any money damages or other losses or damages of any kind, character or description following the termination of this Agreement in excess of such amount. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.3(c) or this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may seek specific performance of the Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 11.13 in circumstances where the Financing Termination Fee is paid or payable (including where the Company would have the right to terminate this

Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(e)), but in no event shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance of the Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing and payment of the Financing Termination Fee.

9.4 Extension; Waiver. The Company, on the one hand, or the Buyer, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other Party contained in this Agreement. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party granting such extension or waiver.

Article X

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.

(a) Each of the representations and warranties (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 11.6, which shall survive the Closing indefinitely) set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, or in any certificate delivered hereunder or thereunder, shall terminate at and as of the Closing provided, that, in the event of Fraud, the representation or warranty that is the subject of such Fraud shall survive indefinitely.

(b) Any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or the Buyer contained in this Agreement (i) that, by its terms, contemplates performance at or prior to the Closing shall terminate at and as of the Closing and (ii) to be performed, in whole or in part, after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with its terms.

10.2 Representations and Warranties Insurance. The Buyer shall cause to be bound and in full force and effect a buyer-side representations and warranties insurance policy from an insurance company reasonably acceptable to the Company, to protect the Buyer and its Affiliates from Losses incurred as a result of or arising out of the Company’s breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement (the “R&W Policy”). Such R&W Policy shall provide that the insurer shall waive and have no rights of subrogation against any Party or any representative thereof, except against a Person solely in the case that such Person committed Fraud. Each of the Company and the Buyer shall pay and be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the premium, underwriting fees, brokerage fees, legal fees for counsel engaged by the insurer of the R&W Policy, surplus lines tax and any other costs and expenses associated with obtaining the R&W Policy and binding coverage thereunder and set forth in invoice(s) from the insurer in respect thereof, provided, that the Buyer shall bear any applicable retention amounts thereunder. The Buyer shall not amend or waive any terms and conditions set forth in the R&W Policy relating to the aforementioned subrogation rights without the prior written consent of the Company. The Parties acknowledge that the Buyer obtaining the R&W Policy is a material inducement to the Sellers entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Sellers are relying on the Buyer’s covenants and obligations set forth in this Section 10.2.

10.3 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. Subject to the provisions of this Article X, from and after the Closing, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives, successors, heirs and assigns in their capacities as such (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against all Losses incurred by, sustained by or imposed upon any Buyer

Indemnified Party arising by reason of, resulting from: (i) any Excluded Liabilities; and (ii) any Fraud by or on behalf of the Company.

(b) Indemnification by the Buyer. Subject to the other provisions of this Article X, from and after the Closing, the Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives, successors, heirs and assigns in their capacities as such (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) from and against all Losses incurred by, sustained by or imposed upon any Company Indemnified Party arising by reason of, resulting from any Assumed Liabilities.

(c) The amount of any and all Losses under this Article X shall be determined net of any insurance proceeds (net of the costs of recovery thereof and any applicable deductibles, limitations, co-payments, retro premium obligations and premium increases attributable thereto) actually received by the Indemnified Party that reduce the overall impact of the Losses upon the Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable efforts to seek to recover any such insurance or other recoveries to the same extent such Indemnified Party would if such Losses were not subject to indemnification hereunder. If an Indemnified Party actually receives an amount under insurance coverage at any time subsequent to any indemnification provided by an Indemnifying Party under this Article X, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any such payment made up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party under such insurance (net of the costs of recovery thereof and any applicable deductibles, limitations, co-payments, retro premium obligations and premium increases attributable thereto).

(d) In the event that a particular matter entitles an Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to more than one clause of this Article X, such Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover a particular dollar of Losses associated with such matter only once under this Article X.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Article X shall limit the liability of any party for Fraud committed by such Party.

10.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (such notice, a “Claim Notice”) of any pending or threatened claim or demand that the Indemnified Party has determined gives or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”) (an “Indemnification Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered material prejudice by such failure). Each Claim Notice will, with respect to each Indemnification Claim set forth therein, (i) specify in reasonable detail and in good faith the nature of the Indemnification Claim being made based on the facts then-known and (ii) state the aggregate dollar amount of Losses to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article X that have been incurred, or a good faith estimate of the aggregate dollar amount of such Losses reasonably expected to be incurred based on the facts then-known, by such Indemnified Party pursuant to such Indemnification Claim (the “Claim Amount”).

(b) If the Indemnifying Party wishes to object to the allowance of some or all Indemnification Claims made in a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party must deliver a written objection to Indemnified Party, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Notice expressing such objection and explaining in reasonable detail and in good faith the basis therefor.

Following receipt by the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s written objection, if any, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, meet (in-person or telephonically) to agree on the rights of the respective parties with respect to each Indemnification Claim that is the subject of such written objection. If the parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement will be mutually prepared, and executed, by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and, as promptly as practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the execution of such memorandum, subject to Section 10.4(d), the Indemnifying Party will pay the agreed amount to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party do not mutually prepare and execute such a memorandum or such memorandum does not address in full the written objections timely delivered, within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Indemnified Party, from the Indemnifying Party of the written objection, then the Indemnified Party may seek to resolve any dispute and to seek enforcement of the obligation with respect to the Indemnification Claim in any court available therefor in accordance with the terms of Section 11.3.

(c) If the Indemnified Party does not receive a response from the Indemnifying Party with respect to any Indemnification Claim set forth in a Claim Notice by the end of the thirty (30) day period referred to in Section 10.4(b), (i) the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to object to such Indemnification Claim and to have agreed that Losses in the amount of the applicable Claim Amount are indemnifiable hereunder and (ii) with respect to the subject Indemnification Claim, as promptly as practicable and within five (5) Business Days following expiration of such period, subject to Section 10.4(d), the Indemnifying Party will pay the Claim Amount to the Indemnified Party. If not paid, the Indemnified Party may seek enforcement of the obligation of the Indemnifying Party with respect to the Indemnification Claim in any court available therefor in accordance with the terms of Section 11.3.

(d) Any amount payable by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.4(b) or Section 10.4(c) above will be paid by the Indemnifying Party by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated in writing by Indemnified Party.

(e) Upon receipt of a notice of a Third Party Claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.4(a), the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within fifteen (15) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim (or sooner if notice of the Third Party Claim so requires), to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party); provided, that, prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must acknowledge that it would have an indemnity obligation for the entire amount of Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim; provided, further that the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim and for the avoidance of doubt, shall pay (without duplication) the reasonable and duly documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the acknowledgment referred to in the preceding sentence‎ within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be materially detrimental to the reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates, (iv) the Third Party Claim seeks as the primary remedy an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (v) the Indemnified Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend vigorously the Third Party Claim.

(f) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.5, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim (at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense), including by furnishing books and records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided, that such settlement or judgment: (I) does not (i) impose any equitable or other non-monetary remedies or obligations on the Indemnified Party but involves solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party hereunder and (ii) involve a finding or admission of any violation of Law, and (II) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain, as a condition of any settlement, a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim. No Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim if it irrevocably waives in a writing delivered to the Indemnifying Party any right to indemnity therefor under this Agreement.

10.5 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Article X will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties hereto from and after the Closing Date for any claims in respect of a breach of this Agreement, including claims of inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing will not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief pursuant to Section 11.13, or limit any right or remedy arising by reason of any claim of Fraud against the Party committing such Fraud.

10.6 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties will treat any indemnification payment made hereunder as an adjustment to the total consideration for income Tax purposes.
