THIS BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 2, 2019, by and among J2 Acquisition Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Buyer”), APi Group, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), the shareholders of the Company, all of whom are listed on the signature pages hereto (each, a “Shareholder” and collectively, the “Shareholders”), Lee R. Anderson, Sr. and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the Shareholder Representative pursuant to the terms of Section 10.13 of this Agreement. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Article 11 of this Agreement.

INTRODUCTION

A. The Shareholders own all of the outstanding Shares and the Option Holders own all of the outstanding Company Options.

B. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified herein, the Shareholders desire to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from the Shareholders, all of the Purchased Shares.

C. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified herein, Buyer and the Company desire to cause all of the Company Options to be vested and cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the consideration specified herein.

D. The Acquired Companies are generally engaged in the following business segments: (i) life safety design and installation, inspection services, repair services, and retrofits and upgrades; (ii) industrial and specialty contracting end-to-end solutions, consisting of contracting, maintenance, and retrofit services; (iii) energy and infrastructure services consisting of new projects, ongoing integrity and management services, project management, fiber optic inspection, and training; and (iv) infrastructure services consisting of installation, maintenance, and repair of above and underground electric, gas, water, sewer, communication infrastructure and diversified civil construction services (collectively, the “Business”).

E. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Option Holder has executed and delivered to the Company an agreement to cancel all Company Options held by such Option Holder, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (each, an “Option Cancellation Agreement”) and/or Exhibit A-2 (each, a “SAR Cancellation Agreement”), which shall be effective immediately prior to the Effective Time on the Closing Date.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each Party hereby agrees as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE OF SHARES

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at Closing, each Shareholder will sell, assign, and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase from each Shareholder, all of the Purchased Shares owned by that Shareholder, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions imposed by securities laws applicable to securities generally).

ARTICLE 2

PURCHASE PRICE; CLOSING; AND POST-CLOSING AGGREGATE CASH

CONSIDERATION ADJUSTMENT

2.1 Aggregate Purchase Price. The term, “Aggregate Purchase Price,” means:

(a) an amount equal to (i) two billion forty-nine million one hundred eighty-five thousand dollars ($2,049,185,000) in cash, plus (ii) the aggregate exercise price of all Company Options as of the Effective Time (the “Option Exercise Amount” and, collectively, the “Aggregate Cash Consideration”); and

(b) the Aggregate Share Consideration.

2.2 Calculation of Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration for Closing. On or before the fifth Business Day before the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to Buyer (a) a written statement (the “Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the amount of (i) the Aggregate Cash Consideration (the “Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration”), (ii) the Company Transaction Expenses (“Estimated Company Transaction Expenses”), (iii) the Closing Leakage Amount and (iv) the Option Exercise Amount and (b) a statement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (“Closing Date Exhibit C”), setting forth (i) the portion of the Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration to be received by each Option Holder and each Shareholder (in each case in accordance with Section 2.4, Section 2.5(e) and Section 2.5(f)), (ii) the Closing Leakage Portion to be deducted from the portion of the Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration to be received by each Shareholder, as applicable, and (iii) the number of J2 Ordinary Shares to be issued to each Shareholder. Concurrently with delivery of the Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement and Closing Date Exhibit C, the Company shall deliver to Buyer wire transfer instructions and other delivery information for the payments described in Section 2.5 (as may be amended from time to time thereafter by the Shareholder Representative, and as orally confirmed by the Shareholder Representative prior to each payment under or pursuant to this Agreement, the “Wire Transfer Instructions”) provided that Buyer shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of, or amounts set forth in, the Wire Transfer Instructions. Set forth in Exhibit B is an example of the calculation of the Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration, as contemplated pursuant to this Section 2.2, as if the Closing occurred on June 30, 2019.

2

2.3 Closing. Subject to the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166, at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on a date to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Buyer, which date will be no later than the third Business Day after all of the conditions set forth in Article 8 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which by their terms are intended to be satisfied at Closing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Marketing Period has not ended prior to the time that the conditions set forth in Article 8 hereof would have otherwise been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing), Buyer shall not be obligated to consummate the Closing prior to the earlier to occur of (a) a date before or during the Marketing Period specified by Buyer on three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Company (provided that such notice may be conditioned upon the simultaneous closing of the Debt Financing and provided further that if such Debt Financing has not closed by the date specified in such notice for any reason, such notice shall be automatically deemed withdrawn) and (b) the third Business Day immediately following the final day of the Marketing Period, subject, in each case, to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 8 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing). The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” Documents may be delivered at the Closing by electronic delivery, and the receiving Party may rely on the receipt of such documents so delivered as if the original had been received. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all proceedings to be taken and all documents to be executed at the Closing will be deemed to have been taken, delivered, and executed simultaneously, and no proceeding will be deemed taken nor documents deemed executed or delivered until all have been taken, delivered, and executed. The Closing will be deemed to be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”).

2.4 Company Options. The Company shall take all action necessary to cause each Company Option to become fully vested and cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive, in cash, a portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price (payable from the Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration) at Closing pursuant to Section 2.5, equal to the product of (a) the Per Option Share Closing Consideration minus the per share exercise price of that Company Option, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to that Company Option, minus (c) the portion of that Option Holder’s Pro Rata Share of Estimated Company Transaction Expenses attributable to that Company Option. For the avoidance of doubt, no amount will be payable to the holder of any Company Option for which the per share exercise price of the Company Option exceeds the Per Share Closing Consideration. Further, no amount will be payable with respect to any portion of a Company Option that is forfeited in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing.

2.5 Closing Payments. At Closing, Buyer will:

(a) pay and discharge (or cause to be paid and discharged), on behalf of the Acquired Companies, all Company Transaction Expenses not already paid by the Company, as set forth in the Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the Wire Transfer Instructions;

3

(b) deposit with the Escrow Agent (i) 1,746,342 J2 Ordinary Shares (the “ESOP Escrow Shares”) into an account (the “Indemnity Escrow Account”) for such ESOP Escrow Shares and (ii) $1,700,000 in cash (the “Adjustment Escrow Amount”) into an account (the “Adjustment Escrow Account”) for such Adjustment Escrow Amount, pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement to be entered into by the ESOP Trustee and Buyer, substantially in the form of Exhibit F (the “Escrow Agreement”), to be used pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) deposit the amount of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) (the “Shareholder Representative Expense Amount”) into an account designated by the Shareholder Representative (the “Shareholder Representative Expense Fund”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the Wire Transfer Instructions;

(d) issue, or cause the issuance of, the Aggregate Share Consideration, less the ESOP Escrow Shares, to the applicable Shareholders as specified on the Closing Date Exhibit C;

(e) pay or cause to be paid to the Option Holders, through the payroll system of the Company, the aggregate amount payable to the Option Holders with respect to the Company Options in accordance with the Closing Date Exhibit C; and

(f) pay or cause to be paid the Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration (less the Option Exercise Amount, the Closing Leakage Amount, the aggregate amount paid to Option Holders under Section 2.5(e), the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses allocable to the Shareholders (it being understood that such amount, when combined with the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses allocated to the Option Holders pursuant to Section 2.4, shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses), the Shareholder Representative Expense Amount and, with respect to the ESOP, the Adjustment Escrow Amount) to Acquiom Financial LLC, in its capacity as payments administrator (the “Paying Agent”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the Wire Transfer Instructions. Immediately following receipt of such funds and all documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall pay to each Shareholder, pursuant to instructions received by the Paying Agent from each Shareholder, an amount equal to (i) its Shareholder Closing Cash Consideration, minus (ii) that Shareholder’s Closing Leakage Portion, if any, as specified on the Closing Date Exhibit C, minus (iii) with respect to the ESOP, the Adjustment Escrow Amount.

2.6 Aggregate Cash Consideration Adjustment.

(a) Buyer’s Preparation of the Statement. No later than March 31, 2020, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Shareholder Representative a statement (the “Final Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, Buyer’s calculations (“Buyer’s Proposed Calculations”) of (i) the Company Transaction Expenses, (ii) the Option Exercise Amount, (iii) the Closing Leakage Amount and Closing Leakage Portions, and (iv) the Aggregate Cash Consideration.

4

(b) Objections; Resolution of Disputes.

(i) Unless Shareholder Representative notifies Buyer in writing within forty-five (45) days after Buyer’s delivery of the Final Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement of any objection to Buyer’s Proposed Calculations (the “Notice of Objection”), the Final Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement will become final and binding on the Parties at the end of such forty-five (45) day period. During such forty-five (45) day period, Shareholder Representative and its representatives and advisors will be permitted to review all materials and information used by Buyer in preparing the Final Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement and Buyer will make available such personnel as are reasonably necessary to assist Shareholder Representative in its review of the Final Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement. Any Notice of Objection must specify in reasonable detail the basis for the objections set forth therein.

(ii) If Shareholder Representative provides the Notice of Objection to Buyer within such forty-five (45) day period, Buyer and Shareholder Representative will, during the thirty (30) day period following Buyer’s receipt of the Notice of Objection, attempt in good faith to resolve the objections of the Shareholder Representative. During such thirty (30) day period, Buyer and its independent auditors and other representatives and their advisors will be permitted to review the working papers of the Shareholder Representative and, if applicable, its representatives relating to the Notice of Objection and the basis therefor; provided, however, that working papers shall not include working papers of an independent auditor, accountant, or accounting firm if objected to by such independent auditor, accountant, or accounting firm. If Buyer and Shareholder Representative are unable to resolve all such objections within such thirty (30) day period, the matters remaining in dispute that were properly included in the Notice of Objection will be submitted to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (or, if such firm declines to act, to another nationally recognized public accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Shareholder Representative in writing and, if Buyer and Shareholder Representative are unable to so agree within ten (10) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period, then Buyer and Shareholder Representative will each select such a firm and such firms will jointly select a third nationally recognized firm to resolve the disputed matters (such selected firm being the “Independent Accounting Firm”)). Buyer and Shareholder Representative will instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to render its decision as promptly as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after its selection. Buyer and Shareholder Representative will further instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to deliver a written report containing its calculation of the disputed items and a written explanation in reasonable detail of each required adjustment to the disputed items, including the basis for those adjustments. The Independent Accounting Firm shall offer Buyer and Shareholder Representative the opportunity to submit, on a schedule to be set by the Independent Accounting Firm within such thirty (30) day period, an initial written submission and a reply submission on the disputed items. Following the initial written submission from the Parties, the Independent Accounting Firm shall, on a schedule to be set by the Independent Accounting Firm, be permitted to ask written questions of, and receive written answers from, the Parties regarding the disputed issues. The thirty (30) day period for the Independent Accounting Firm to deliver its written report shall be tolled during the time that the Parties are responding to the written questions. No discovery, requests for

information between the Parties, hearings, or further written or other written or verbal submissions shall take place. The Independent Accounting Firm will act as an expert and not an arbitrator to resolve the disputed matters solely based on submissions made on behalf of the Shareholder Representative and Buyer that are consistent with the terms of this Agreement (and not by independent review or additional discovery in any form). The Independent Accounting Firm will not assign a value to any item that is greater than the greater value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the lesser value for such item claimed by either Party. The resolution of disputed items by the Independent Accounting Firm will be final and binding, and the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm may be enforced as a final, binding and non-appealable award upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced, absent manifest error or fraud by or upon the Independent Accounting Firm. Any Party may seek specific enforcement or take other necessary legal action to enforce any decision made by the Independent Accounting Firm. The other Party’s only defense to such a request for specific enforcement or other legal action shall be manifest error or fraud by or upon the Independent Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be apportioned between Buyer, on one hand, and the Shareholders, on the other hand, based upon the inverse proportion of the amount of the disputed items on the Final Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement resolved in favor of each of Buyer and the Shareholders (i.e., so that the prevailing Party bears a lesser amount of such fees and expenses), with any expenses that are the responsibility of the Shareholders being paid out of the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund. The Final Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.6(b)(ii), will be final and binding on the Parties. All information provided by the Parties to each other and the Independent Accounting Firm under this Section 2.6 will be held in confidence and will not be further disclosed by the Parties and the Independent Accounting Firm.

(c) Adjustment Payment. Upon determination, in accordance with Section 2.6(b), of the Final Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement and the final calculations of the items to be included therein under Section 2.6(a), the Aggregate Cash Consideration will be recalculated using such finally determined amounts. Following such recalculation, Buyer and the Shareholders will update the Closing Date Exhibit C (the “Final Exhibit C”) to reflect the final allocation of the Aggregate Cash Consideration to the Option Holders and the Shareholders (including updating the amounts and allocation of the deductions from Aggregate Cash Consideration contemplated by Section 2.5(f) and allocating to each such Shareholder its (A) Adjusted Pro Rata Share of finally determined Company Transaction Expenses (less that portion of Company Transaction Expenses deducted from the amounts paid to the Option Holders pursuant to Sections 2.4 and 2.5(e)) and (B) Closing Leakage Portion). The Final Exhibit C shall be delivered to each Shareholder promptly upon completion thereof. The following payments, if any, will be deemed to be adjustments to the Aggregate Cash Consideration for all purposes.

(i) If the amount payable to any Shareholder as specified on the Final Exhibit C shall be greater than the amount paid to such Shareholder as specified on the Closing Date Exhibit C, then no later than three (3) Business Days after the Final Exhibit C shall be prepared, (A) Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid the amount of such excess to the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the Wire Transfer Instructions (and immediately following receipt of the funds specified in this clause (i), the Paying Agent shall pay to each Shareholder the requisite amounts) and (B) the ESOP Trustee and Buyer will provide joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the full Adjustment Escrow Amount from the Adjustment Escrow Account to the ESOP.

(ii) If the amount paid to any Shareholder as specified on the Closing Date Exhibit C shall be greater than the amount payable to such Shareholder as specified on the Final Exhibit C, then no later than three (3) Business Days after the Final Exhibit C shall be prepared, such Shareholder shall pay to Buyer the amount of such excess; provided, that any payment required to be paid by the ESOP pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be paid solely from the Adjustment Escrow Account (and the ESOP Trustee and Buyer will provide joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to release (A) an amount in cash equal to the payment required to be paid by the ESOP from the Adjustment Escrow Account to Buyer and (B) if positive, an amount in cash equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount minus the amount of cash described in clause (A) to the ESOP).

2.7 Allocation of Aggregate Purchase Price. In connection with the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, the Aggregate Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Acquired Companies (plus other relevant items) will, consistent with Sections 338(h)(10) and Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder, be allocated among the assets of the Acquired Companies based on their fair market value determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in Schedule 2.7 under the column entitled “Final Value/Allocation”. Within ninety (90) days after the Final Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement becomes final and binding under Section 2.6(b), Buyer will prepare and deliver to Shareholder Representative a schedule allocating the Aggregate Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Acquired Companies (plus other relevant items) among the assets of the Acquired Companies in accordance with the methodology set forth in Schedule 2.7 and in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the “Proposed Allocation”). Unless Shareholder Representative notifies Buyer in writing within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s delivery of the Proposed Allocation of any objection to the Proposed Allocation, the Proposed Allocation will become final and binding on the Parties at the end of such thirty (30) day period. If Shareholder Representative notifies Buyer in writing of any objection prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, then Shareholder Representative and Buyer will, during the thirty (30) day period following Buyer’s receipt of such notice of objection, attempt in good faith to resolve Shareholder Representative’s objections. If Shareholder Representative and Buyer are unable to resolve all such objections within such thirty (30) day period, the matters remaining in dispute will be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm, which will be directed to resolve the dispute as promptly as practicable. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be paid fifty percent (50%) by the Shareholders (from the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund) and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer. The final determination of the Proposed Allocation as agreed to by Buyer and the Shareholder Representative or as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm (the “Final Allocation”) will be binding on all Parties for all Income Tax purposes, and no Party will file any Tax Returns or take any other action that is inconsistent with the Final Allocation unless required by a determination of a Governmental Authority that is final.

2.8 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, (a) the payor of any amounts pursuant to this Agreement shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any consideration or other amount payable hereunder or in connection with this Agreement any Taxes required by Applicable Law to be deducted or withheld from such payment, consideration or other amounts, and (b) any amounts deducted or withheld from any such payment, consideration or other amount, shall be timely remitted to the applicable taxing authority or other Governmental Authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made; provided, however, that the applicable payor shall reasonably cooperate with the applicable payee to obtain reduction or relief from any such withholding obligation.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as disclosed in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedule”), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

3.1 Organization and Good Standing. Section 3.1 of the Disclosure Schedule lists all of the Acquired Companies other than the Company (including the owner of the equity interests of each Acquired Company). Each Acquired Company is a duly organized and validly existing corporation or limited liability company (as applicable) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized. Each Acquired Company is duly qualified and in good standing to do business as a foreign corporation or limited liability company (as applicable) in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its properties or assets or the conduct by it of any Business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing is not material to the Acquired Companies taken as a whole. Each Acquired Company has full corporate or limited liability company (as applicable) power and authority to own and lease its properties and assets and conduct the Business as now conducted. Other than the Company’s ownership, directly or indirectly, of the Company Subsidiaries (or a Company Subsidiary’s direct or indirect ownership of another Company Subsidiary), no Acquired Company holds any equity interest, directly or indirectly, of any other Person. The Company has made available to Buyer a true, correct and complete copy of the Organizational Documents of each Acquired Company.

3.2 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of one hundred fifty million (150,000,000) shares of Company Common Stock. Section 3.2 of the Disclosure Schedule lists, as of the date hereof, (a) the Shares owned by each Shareholder and (b) the Company Options owned by each Option Holder (including, for each Company Option, the name of such holder, the exercise price, the vesting date(s), and the termination date thereof). Each Shareholder has good and valid title to all Shares owned by it, free and clear of any Encumbrance

8

(other than restrictions imposed by securities laws applicable to securities generally and rights of Buyer under this Agreement). The Purchased Shares and the Company Options constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company. The equity interests held by the Company of the Company Subsidiaries, or by a Company Subsidiary of another Company Subsidiary, constitute all of the outstanding equity interests of the Company Subsidiaries. All of the equity interests listed in Section 3.2 of the Disclosure Schedule are, or will be when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, and, if capital stock, fully paid and non-assessable. No equity interest of any Acquired Company was issued in violation of any Organizational Document of such Acquired Company, any Applicable Law or any preemptive right (or other similar right) of any Person. The Company or the applicable Company Subsidiaries have good and valid title to all equity interests of the Company Subsidiaries, free and clear of any Encumbrance (other than restrictions imposed by securities laws applicable to securities generally). Other than the Company Options, there is no: (i) preemptive right, option, warrant, put, call, purchase right, subscription right, conversion right, convertible instrument, exchange right or other security, Contract or commitment of any nature whereby any Person has, or has a right to receive, any equity interest of, or right or obligation to acquire any equity interest of, any Acquired Company; (ii) equity appreciation, phantom stock, profit participation or similar right with respect to any Acquired Company; or (iii) voting trust, proxy or other Contract with respect to any equity interest of any Acquired Company. No Company Option was granted with an exercise price per share less than the fair market value of a share of Company Common Stock as of the date of grant as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement and each Ancillary Document of Buyer, this Agreement is, and each Ancillary Document of the Company will be, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by any Enforcement Limitation.

(b) Conflicts.

All filing fees or other applicable disbursements in connection with obtaining any approvals or making the notifications or filings required under the Antitrust Laws, shall be paid one half, by the Shareholders as a Company Transaction Expense, and the other half by Buyer.

(c) Antitrust Actions. Buyer agrees to take, or cause to be taken (including by its Subsidiaries), any and all steps and to make, or cause to be made, any and all undertakings necessary to resolve such objections, if any, that a Governmental Authority may assert under any Antitrust Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than the Outside Date, including (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any businesses, assets, equity interests, product lines or properties of Buyer (or its Subsidiaries), (ii) creating, terminating, or divesting relationships, ventures, contractual rights, or obligations of Buyer

40

(or its Subsidiaries) and (iii) otherwise taking or committing to take any action that would limit Buyer’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain or hold, directly or indirectly, any businesses, assets, equity interests, product lines, or properties of Buyer (or its Subsidiaries), in each case as may be required in order to obtain all approvals, consents, clearances, expirations, or terminations of waiting periods, registrations, permits, authorizations, and other confirmations required directly or indirectly under any Antitrust Law or to avoid the commencement of any action to prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Antitrust Law, or, in the alternative, to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any Proceeding seeking to prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or delay the Closing beyond the Outside Date. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement requires the Company or any Shareholder to, and Buyer may not and may not agree to, divest, hold separate, or otherwise take any action that limits Buyer’s, any Acquired Company’s, any Shareholder’s or their respective Affiliates’ freedom of action, ownership or control with respect to, any of the businesses, assets, equity interests, product lines or properties of any Acquired Company, any Shareholder, or any of their respective Affiliates.

(d) Antitrust Proceedings. In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the Parties contained in this Section 6.1, if any Proceeding, including any Proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or Threatened to be instituted) challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents as violative of any Antitrust Law, the Company and Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such Proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Cooperation. The Company, the Designated Person and Buyer will use (and will cause their respective Affiliates to use) their commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any Proceeding initiated by a private party, (ii) promptly inform the other Party of (and supply to the other Party) any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any Proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) permit the other Party to review in advance and incorporate the other Party’s reasonable comments in any communication to be given by it to any Governmental Authority with respect to obtaining any clearances required under any Antitrust Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iv) consult with the other Party in advance of any meeting or teleconference with any Governmental Authority or, in connection with any Proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and, to the extent not prohibited by the Governmental Authority or other Person, give the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and teleconferences. The Parties will take commercially reasonable efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this Section 6.1(e) in a manner so as to preserve the applicable privilege.

41

(f) Permits. Each Acquired Company will cooperate in all reasonable respects (which shall include supplying information known to the Acquired Companies and execution of such documents as may be legally required) with Buyer in connection with the applications for newly issued Permits, as necessary for the continued operation of the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business in all material respects immediately upon Closing (the “Permit Application”). Buyer shall diligently and in good faith proceed with the Permit Applications.

(g) No Liability for Unobtained Consents and Permits. Except the obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts set forth in Section 6.1 (or as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty in Article 3 or Article 4), none of the Acquired Companies or any Shareholder will have any obligation whatsoever to Buyer arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the failure to obtain any Consent or Permit. No term of this Agreement will be breached, and no condition will be deemed not satisfied as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any Consent or Permit or (ii) any Proceeding commenced or Threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the failure to obtain any Consent or Permit.

6.2 Pre-Closing Conduct of Business. Except (i) for actions related to the Reorganization and (ii) as expressly contemplated in this Agreement (including in Schedule 6.2), as required under Applicable Law or any Contract in existence on the date of this Agreement to which an Acquired Company is a party, or as otherwise consented to in writing by Buyer (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), from the date of this Agreement through Closing:

(a) each Acquired Company will, and the Designated Person will direct each of the Acquired Companies to, conduct the Business of such Acquired Company in its Ordinary Course of Business; provided, however, that:

(i) no action or failure to take action by any Acquired Company with respect to the matters addressed in Section 6.2(b) shall constitute a breach of this Section 6.2(a) unless such action or failure to take such action would also constitute a breach of Section 6.2(b); and

(ii) nothing in this Section 6.2(a) requires that any Acquired Company make any capital expenditure or otherwise pay any amounts or incur any expense; and

(b) no Acquired Company will, and the Designated Person will direct each Acquired Company not to, do any of the following:

43

(x) (A) adopt or change any material accounting method or principle used by such Acquired Company, except as required under GAAP, or (B) change any annual accounting period;

(c) The Company shall notify Buyer in writing promptly after the Company obtains Knowledge of any new Leakage items not contemplated by Section 3.4(f) (including the specific amount of such Leakage).

6.3 Access to Information.

(a) Pre-Closing Access for Buyer. From the date hereof through Closing, subject to the Nondisclosure Agreement, the Company will (i) cause Buyer and its representatives to have reasonable access during normal business hours and upon prior consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the

44

facilities, books and records of each Acquired Company for the opportunity to investigate the Business, and (ii) furnish to Buyer and its representatives such additional financial and operating data and other information relating to the Business as Buyer reasonably requests. Buyer and its representatives will conduct such investigation in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of any Acquired Company and will not have access to any personnel other than those listed in Schedule 6.3(a) without the written consent of an executive officer of the Company. All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Acquired Companies obtained by Buyer or any of its representatives pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) will be kept confidential in accordance with the Nondisclosure Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 6.3 obligates any Acquired Company or any of its Affiliates to (1) violate any Applicable Law, (2) breach any duty of confidentiality owed to any Person whether such duty arises contractually, statutorily or otherwise (provided that the Acquired Company will, and will cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any third-party consents or waivers that would permit the supply of such information), or (3) jeopardize the protection of any attorney-client or attorney work product privilege or similar privilege.

(b) Post-Closing Access for the Shareholder Representative. Throughout the seven (7) year period after Closing, subject to the reasonable confidentiality precautions set forth in that certain nondisclosure agreement between Shareholder Representative and the Company and enforceable by Buyer after Closing, Buyer will, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice from the Shareholder Representative: (i) cause the Shareholder Representative and its representatives to have reasonable access to the books and records (including financial and Tax records, Tax Returns, files, papers and related items) of each Acquired Company, and to the personnel responsible for preparing and maintaining such books and records, in each case to the extent necessary or reasonably desirable to (1) defend or pursue any Proceeding, (2) prepare or file Tax Returns, or (3) address Tax, accounting, financial or legal matters or respond to any investigation or other inquiry by or under the control of any Governmental Authority; and (ii) permit the Shareholder Representative to make copies of such books and records for the foregoing purposes, at the Shareholders’ expense (from the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund). If requested by Buyer, the Shareholder Representative will provide reasonable substantiation of the purpose for such access to show that such access is for any of the foregoing purposes. Nothing contained in this Section 6.3 obligates Buyer or any of its Affiliates to (A) violate any Applicable Law, (B) breach any duty of confidentiality owed to any Person whether such duty arises contractually, statutorily or otherwise (provided that Buyer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any third-party consents or waivers that would permit the supply of such information), or (C) jeopardize the protection of any attorney-client or attorney work product privilege or similar privilege.

(c) Post-Closing Retention of Information by the Shareholders and the Shareholder Representative. At and after Closing, the Shareholders and the Shareholder Representative may retain in their possession, subject to Buyer’s reasonable confidentiality precautions, any copies of any books or records of such types described in Section 6.3(b) that are in the possession or control of the Shareholders or the Shareholder Representative, in each case for any purpose described in Section 6.3(b).

45

6.4 Further Assurances. If after Closing any further action is necessary, proper or desirable to carry out any purpose of this Agreement, then each Party will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of further documents) as the other Party reasonably requests to carry out such purpose. The foregoing will be at the expense of such requesting Party (in the case of Shareholder Representative, at the expense of the Shareholders from the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund), except to the extent this Agreement otherwise allocates such expense to any other Party.

6.5 Confidentiality and Publicity.

(a) Nondisclosure Agreement. Subject to the other terms of this Section 6.5, Buyer, the Company, and each Shareholder acknowledges that the information being furnished or made available to it in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents is subject to the terms of the Nondisclosure Agreement between the Company and Buyer, dated August 9, 2019 (the “Nondisclosure Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Nondisclosure Agreement will terminate with respect to information relating exclusively to the Acquired Companies.

(b) Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, each Shareholder shall keep confidential any and all non-public information relating to the Acquired Companies or the Business; provided, however, that no Shareholder shall be liable hereunder with respect to any disclosure to the extent such disclosure is determined by that Shareholder (with the advice of counsel) to be required or requested in connection with any Applicable Law or Order; and provided further that a Shareholder may disclose any such information as reasonably necessary to perform its obligations or enforce its rights under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents. If a Shareholder is required or requested in connection with any Applicable Law or Order to disclose any non-public information, that Shareholder shall (i) to the extent permissible by such Applicable Law or Order, provide Buyer with prompt written notice of such requirement, (ii) disclose only that information that the Shareholder determines (with advice of counsel) is required or requested to be disclosed, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such non-public information, including by, at Buyer’s request, reasonably cooperating with Buyer (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense) to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such non-public information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such non-public information shall not include information that is or becomes available to the public after the Closing other than as a result of a disclosure by a Shareholder in breach of this Section 6.5(b).

(c) Publicity. Except as stated in this Section 6.5(c), each Party will not, and each Party will cause each of its Affiliates not to, make any public release or announcement regarding this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein without the prior written approval thereof of each Party (other than as required by Applicable Law or any rule and regulation of the London Stock Exchange, in which case the Party required to make the release or announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other Party reasonable time to comment on each release or announcement in advance of such issuance and shall consider in good faith the views and comments made by such

46

other Party); provided, however, that no party shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 6.5(c) to the extent any proposed release or announcement is consistent with information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligations under this Section 6.5(c). Each Party will cooperate with the other in issuing a press release (with mutually agreed upon text) that announces the Parties’ entry into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein generally.

6.6 Employee Matters.

(a) Compensation. Throughout the twelve (12) month period after Closing, Buyer will, or will cause one or more of Buyer’s Affiliates (including any Acquired Company) to, provide to each employee of an Acquired Company (i) base salary or hourly wages which in the aggregate are no less favorable than the base salary or hourly wages provided by the applicable Acquired Company immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) target bonus and incentive opportunities which are no less favorable than the target bonus and incentive opportunities, if any, provided by the applicable Acquired Company immediately prior to the Closing to eligible employees.

(b) Employee Benefits. Throughout the twelve (12) month period after Closing, Buyer will, or will cause one or more of Buyer’s Affiliates (including any Acquired Company) to, provide to each employee of an Acquired Company (and their dependents) employee benefits that are substantially similar, in the aggregate in all material respects to the employee benefits received by the employees (and their dependents) as employees of an Acquired Company immediately before Closing (excluding any equity compensation plans and arrangements, but including any profit sharing plan that Buyer may determine to offer in substitution of the ESOP). Without limiting any obligation already existing, for purposes of eligibility and vesting for all benefits and for purposes of accruals (except defined benefit pension plans or equity compensation plans) or entitlement to vacation, sick leave and paid time off, Buyer will cause each employee of an Acquired Company to be given or retain (as applicable) full credit under the employee benefits of Buyer and its Affiliates (including any Acquired Company) after Closing for such employee’s service with any Acquired Company or Affiliate before Closing (including the full carryover to such benefits or retention, as applicable, of any earned, but unused, time or pay with respect to the foregoing) but only to the extent such credits do not result in duplication of benefits. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each such employee (and such dependent) will be allowed to participate in such employee benefits without regard to preexisting conditions, waiting periods, evidence of insurability or other exclusions or limitations not imposed on such individual by, or which were otherwise satisfied under, any Acquired Company’s employee benefit arrangements before Closing. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Buyer will apply or credit (or cause to be applied or credited) toward any deductible requirements under all welfare benefit Plans all amounts paid by employees (or dependents) under the welfare benefit Plans of any Acquired Company during the Company Plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

47

(c) Equity Compensation Plan. As promptly as practicable after the Closing, the Buyer Board will adopt (and, to the extent necessary, will recommend to its shareholders for adoption) a long-term incentive compensation plan, in which the employees of the Company will be eligible to participate after the Closing. As promptly as practicable after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Buyer Board will adopt (and, to the extent necessary, will recommend to its shareholders for adoption) an employee stock purchase plan, in which the employees of the Company will be eligible to participate after the Closing.

(d) No Amendment of Benefits nor Third-Party Beneficiary. Without limiting Section 10.4, (i) no Company Plan or other employee benefit is or will be deemed to be amended by any term hereof and (ii) no Person, including any employee (or dependent thereof) of any Acquired Company, is a third-party beneficiary of any term of this Section 6.6.

6.7 Termination of the ESOP. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, amend the ESOP (the “ESOP Amendment”) as set forth in Exhibit E, contingent upon the completion of the Closing and effective as of the day following the Closing Date to permanently discontinue contributions to and terminate the ESOP and convert the ESOP into a qualified profit sharing plan. The ESOP Amendment shall provide that, as soon as administratively feasible following the Closing Date, the ESOP Trustee shall make available distributions, in cash, of fifty percent (50%) of the value of each ESOP participant’s account balance, including accounts already in pay status (such value to be determined without regard to the possible adjustment in the value of the ESOP Escrow Shares). At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Buyer a draft notice to the participants of the ESOP describing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and stating that the pre-Closing Company Board will permanently discontinue contributions to and terminate the ESOP. The Company shall provide Buyer with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such notice and any other communications to the participants in the ESOP regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, the Company shall submit an application in a form reasonably acceptable to the Shareholder Representative to the IRS requesting a favorable determination with respect to the amendment and termination of the ESOP (the “Final Determination Letter”). As soon as reasonably practicable following the later of the receipt of such determination letter and the final distribution of the ESOP Escrow Shares, the ESOP Trustee shall distribute all remaining ESOP account balances. Furthermore, such amendment to the ESOP shall provide that the ESOP shall not make a final distribution of ESOP account balances until the final distribution of the ESOP Escrow Shares. The Company shall keep Buyer reasonably informed on the status of the ESOP termination as contemplated by this Section 6.7.

6.8 Post-Closing Administration of ESOP. The Company is authorized to act as the administrator of the ESOP and may delegate that authority to a committee. The Company shall remain authorized to amend the ESOP plan document in any way that it determines to be necessary and appropriate (other than in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement), including amendments made at the request of the IRS in connection with its issuance of a final determination letter for the ESOP. Subject to the terms of the engagement agreement between the Company and the ESOP Trustee, the ESOP Trustee shall not be removed by the Company until the final resolution and distribution of the ESOP Escrow Shares pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and the final distribution of the ESOP account balances. If the ESOP Trustee is so removed by the Company, the Company shall choose an independent institutional replacement trustee.

48

6.9 Exculpation and Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Throughout the six (6) year period after Closing, Buyer will prevent the amendment, repeal or modification of any provision in any Organizational Document of any Acquired Company relating to exculpation or indemnification and hereby guaranties, and agrees to promptly pay or cause to be paid, all amounts required to be indemnified by any Acquired Company for pre-Effective Time acts or omissions of its former officers, directors, governors, members, partners, or managers holding office before the Effective Time (except to the extent required by Applicable Law), it being the intent of the Parties that such officers, directors, governors, members, partners, or managers will continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification for such acts or omissions to the greatest extent permitted under Applicable Law. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will purchase “tail” directors’, officers’ and ERISA fiduciaries’ liability insurance policies, covering the same persons and providing at least the same coverage and amount and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to such covered persons as the existing policies, and the terms of which will provide coverage until the sixth anniversary of the Closing. Any cost or expense of obtaining such “tail” policies shall be a Company Transaction Expense. Throughout the six (6)-year period after Closing, Buyer will maintain (or cause to be maintained) in effect, at the expense of the Taxable Shareholders, such “tail policies” and will not (and will cause its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies, not to) take any action to cause such “tail” policies to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived. Buyer’s obligations under this Section 6.9 will not be terminated or modified in a manner that adversely affects any Person to whom this Section 6.9 relates with respect to pre-Effective Time acts or omissions without the consent of such affected Person (it being expressly agreed that such Person to whom this Section 6.9 relates will be a third party beneficiary of this Section 6.9).

6.10 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Pre-Closing Tax Returns. The Acquired Companies will timely prepare and file at the expense of the Company (or the relevant Acquired Company) all Tax Returns of or including any Acquired Company that are required to be filed (with extensions) on or before the Closing Date and pay all Taxes shown as due on any such Tax Return. After the Closing, Shareholder Representative (at the expense of the Shareholders) shall cause to be prepared and shall submit to the Company for filing in a timely manner all Tax Returns for each Acquired Company for any tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, and which are filed after the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Returns”). To the extent required by Applicable Law, each Taxable Shareholder shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax items for any Pre-Closing Tax Period on his, her, or its respective tax returns in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-1 with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Returns that are either the U.S. Federal 1120S return or corresponding state or local income Tax Returns. The Shareholder Representative shall provide Buyer with completed drafts of the Pre-Closing Tax Returns for Buyer’s review and comment at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for filing thereof, and will consider in good faith changes reasonably and timely requested by Buyer. Buyer and Shareholder Representative will attempt in reasonable good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding the Pre-Closing Tax Returns prior to the due date for filing. To the extent that Buyer and

49

Shareholder Representative are unable to reach an agreement regarding any of the Pre-Closing Tax Returns, the dispute will be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution, with the costs of the Independent Accounting Firm to be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Shareholders (from the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund) and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer. Upon resolution of any disagreements regarding any Pre-Closing Tax Return, the Shareholders shall pay, out of the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund, to the relevant Acquired Company the amount shown due on any such Pre-Closing Tax Return (to the extent that such Tax Liabilities were not reflected in the calculation of Aggregate Cash Consideration), and Buyer shall (i) cause the relevant Acquired Company to file the Pre-Closing Tax Return, (ii) pay the Tax Liability shown thereon to the appropriate Governmental Authority, and (iii) provide Shareholder Representative with a copy of the notice from the relevant Governmental Authority that such Tax Liabilities have been paid. The Parties agree that to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, all deductions related to the Company Transaction Expenses shall be allocated to the taxable year of the Company ending on the Closing Date. Buyer will (and will cause each Acquired Company to) cooperate with Shareholder Representative to enable Shareholder Representative to prepare the Pre-Closing Tax Returns, including providing access to books and records and the Company’s accounting staff. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will be responsible for filing the Pre-Closing Tax Returns. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Buyer, on behalf of the Company, agrees to file composite Income Tax Tax Returns covering all eligible Shareholders in all states where the Company will file an Income Tax Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (the “Composite Tax Returns”). Shareholders have been advised that the Company will be required to pay the Income Tax as shown due for each Shareholder participating in any Composite Tax Return. Buyer shall not be required to allow any Shareholder to participate in any Composite Tax Return unless such Shareholder has paid or causes to be paid to the Company, at or prior to the time for filing such Composite Tax Return, an amount equal to such Shareholder’s share of the Income Tax liability reflected on such Composite Tax Return and provides all required consents and other documentation required for the Company to file a Composite Tax Return on behalf of such Shareholder in any state or other jurisdiction. Buyer and the Shareholder Representative agree that all Tax Returns filed by the Acquired Companies will, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, include the Transaction Tax Deductions as an Income Tax deduction on or before the Closing Date. To the extent not discussed in the immediately preceding sentence, such Returns will be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Acquired Companies, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law. “Transaction Tax Deduction” means: (A) the amount of any Company Transaction Expense (notwithstanding the definition, whenever incurred); (B) the employer portion of any employment Tax on any Company Transaction Expense or other compensatory payment; (C) any payment described in the definition of Indebtedness that gives rise to any deduction for Income Tax purposes; and (D) any other payment made in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby that gives rise to any deduction for Income Tax purposes. For purposes of this Agreement, the Parties agree that 70% of success-based fees paid by any Acquired Company or any of its Affiliates will be deductible under Rev. Proc. 2011-29 and will be a Transaction Tax Deduction that falls in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date.

50

(b) Straddle Period Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of each Acquired Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”). All Straddle Period Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Acquired Companies except as otherwise required by Applicable Law. Buyer shall provide Shareholder Representative with completed drafts of such Straddle Period Tax Returns for Shareholder Representative’s review and comment at least forty-five (45) days prior to the due date for filing thereof, and will consider in good faith changes reasonably and timely requested by Shareholder Representative. Buyer and Shareholder Representative will attempt in reasonable good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding such Straddle Period Tax Returns prior to the due date for filing. To the extent that Buyer and Shareholder Representative are unable to reach an agreement regarding any such Straddle Period Tax Returns, the dispute will be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution, with the costs of the Independent Accounting Firm to be paid fifty percent (50%) by the Shareholders (from the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund) and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer. The Shareholders shall pay to the relevant Acquired Company within ten (10) days of its receipt of notice from Buyer that such Taxes have been paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority by the Acquired Company an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes that relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period portion of such Straddle Period (except to the extent that such Tax Liabilities were reflected in the calculation of Aggregate Cash Consideration). For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax which relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, receipts, or payroll, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income, receipts, or payroll, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date.

(c) Contested Tax Returns. If Shareholder Representative and Buyer have not yet agreed upon a final Tax Return to be filed under Section 6.10(a) or Section 6.10(b) (a “Contested Tax Return”) on the due date of such Tax Return (as such due date may be extended), the responsible filing party shall cause such Tax Return to be executed and duly and timely filed with the appropriate Tax authority as follows: (i) any Pre-Closing Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Shareholder Representative; and (ii) any Straddle Period Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyer. Thereafter, if the Independent Accounting Firm resolves a dispute regarding a Contested Tax Return as set forth in Section 6.10(a) or Section 6.10(b), and such resolution requires a change to such Contested Tax Return, the responsible filing party will file or cause to be filed an amended Tax Return to the previously filed Contested Tax Return, in a manner consistent with the decision of the Independent Accounting Firm.

51

(d) Cooperation. Buyer, the Shareholders, and the Acquired Companies will cooperate fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return and the defense of any Proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Acquired Companies and the Shareholders. Buyer agrees to, and to cause each Acquired Company to, abide by all record retention requirements of, or record retention agreements entered into with, any Tax authority. To the extent that action by Buyer or any company controlled by it is required by Applicable Laws or administrative pronouncements in order to extend any statute of limitation for any Tax Return or Proceeding described above in this Section 6.10(d), such party will take such action as is necessary to extend a statute of limitations where such extension is reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the preparation by such other party of such Tax Return or defense by such other party of such Proceeding.

(e) Transfer Taxes. The Shareholders and Buyer will each pay half of all Transfer Taxes, and the Shareholders and Buyer will cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports, and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of Applicable Law relating thereto or to reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes. The Transfer Taxes for which the Shareholders shall be responsible shall be included in the Company Transaction Expenses.

(f) Refunds. Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or an Acquired Company that relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of an Acquired Company shall be for the account of the Shareholders, and Buyer shall pay over to the Shareholders any such refund within ten (10) Business Days after receipt or entitlement thereto; provided, however, that if any such Tax refund is subsequently reduced or disallowed, the Shareholders shall promptly reimburse the Acquired Company for the amount of any reduction or disallowance of such Tax refund. Amounts paid under this clause shall be treated as adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price.

(g) Amendments. Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Acquired Company to, (i) amend any Tax Returns filed with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period or (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, in each case without the prior written consent of Shareholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(h) Tax Indemnity. From and after the Closing Date, the Taxable Shareholders shall severally based on their Adjusted Pro Rata Share and not jointly indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, the Acquired Companies, their successors and assigns (if any) (collectively, the “Tax Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses resulting or arising from Indemnified Taxes; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 6.10(h), each Shareholder’s Adjusted Pro Rata Share shall be calculated by treating Shares held by the ESOP as not outstanding; provided further that Buyer shall first seek recovery for any such Losses under the R&W Insurance Policy to the extent coverage is reasonably available thereunder. Amounts paid under this clause shall be treated as adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price.

52

(i) Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

(i) Buyer and the Shareholders shall join in timely making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding elections under Applicable Laws) (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Elections”) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Buyer and the Shareholders shall cooperate in the completion and timely filing of such elections in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any comparable provisions of Applicable Laws) or any successor provision. At the Closing, each of the Shareholders and any other Persons who may be treated as holders of capital stock of the Company for purposes of Section 338 of the Code shall deliver to Buyer a signed IRS Form 8023 in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, to be filed by Buyer for purposes of making the Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

(ii) The Shareholders, Buyer and the Company, agree to (i) report the purchase of Purchased Shares contemplated hereby as a “qualified stock purchase” for federal, state and local income Tax purposes and (ii) not to take any position to the contrary thereto in any Tax Return, any action, claim or proceeding before any Governmental Authority or otherwise.

(iii) In connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, Buyer shall pay to the Shareholders the payments provided for in Schedule 6.10(i) hereto in accordance with the provisions set forth in such Schedule. Amounts paid under this clause shall be treated as adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid such amounts, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the Wire Transfer Instructions, to each Taxable Shareholder such amounts in accordance with Schedules 6.10(i), 6.10(i)-1 and 6.10(i)-2. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer may choose, on or prior to December 31, 2019, not to make one or more Section 338(h)(10) Elections (and shall provide written notification to the Shareholder Representative of such decision on or before December 31, 2019). If a Section 338(h)(10) Election is not made, then the provisions of Schedule 6.10(i)-3 shall apply and the Shareholders shall not be required to perform the covenants in Section 6.10(i)(i)-(iii) and Buyer shall return to the Shareholder Representative any forms delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(f).

(j) Certain Tax Distributions.

(i) On or and after the date of this Agreement and prior to April 13, 2020, the Company shall make Tax Distributions two (2) Business Days prior to the dates on which the Shareholders are required to pay any estimated federal, state and local Income Taxes owed by such Shareholders in accordance with Section 6654(c) of the Code and similar provisions of state and local Applicable Laws with respect to the 2019 Taxable year. Each “Tax Distribution” will be an aggregate amount (paid pro rata to all Shareholders in accordance with their Adjusted Pro Rata Share) calculated (A) to provide each Shareholder with a sufficient

53

distribution to pay his, her or its estimated Income Taxes on the Company’s income for the relevant quarter in accordance with Sections 6654(d)(1)(B)(ii) and 6654(d)(1)(C) of the Code (relating to the 110% safe harbor for estimates) and similar provisions of state and local Applicable Law; and (B) based on such Shareholder’s Share ownership, to determine a per-Share amount of such distribution, which will then be paid to such Shareholder and all other Shareholders. If the Closing shall have occurred prior to the payment of a Tax Distribution hereunder then the Tax Distribution after the Closing Date shall be paid by Buyer and such Tax Distribution shall be treated for Income Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price.

(ii) The Buyer shall make a Final Tax Payment to the Shareholders on April 13, 2020 with respect to the 2019 Taxable year “Final Tax Payment” in an aggregate amount (paid pro rata to all Shareholders of the Company in accordance with their Adjusted Pro Rata Share), that when added to previous Tax Distributions paid for the 2019 Taxable year (A) will provide the Shareholder with the highest combined federal, state and local Income Tax rate a sufficient payment to pay his, her or its actual Income Taxes on the Company’s income for the 2019 Taxable year and (B) will be based on such Shareholder’s Share ownership, to determine a per-Share amount of such payment, which is then paid to such Shareholder and all other Shareholders of the Company in accordance with their Share ownership immediately prior to the Closing.    The Final Tax Payment shall be treated for Income Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price.

(iii) Income for purposes of each Tax Distribution and the Final Tax Payment shall be (A) determined consistent with the principles in Section 6.10(a); (B) exclude income arising as a result of any election pursuant to Section 965 of the Code for any Taxable period, or similar provisions of state or local Applicable Law; (C) exclude any income arising as a result of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections; and (D) shall be calculated on the basis that the Shareholders and the Company shall, as permitted by Applicable Law, claim all deductions and credits available to each to the maximum extent allowed under Applicable Law (including deductions under Section 199A of the Code). Also, any amounts paid by the Company with respect to a composite Tax Return will not be duplicated in a Tax Distribution or Final Tax Payment.

(iv) Fifteen (15) days prior to making Tax Distributions or Final Tax Payment, the Company shall provide the Shareholder Representative and Buyer with a calculation of the amounts to be paid with supporting documentation for review and comment. The Company will consider any comments made by the Shareholder Representative and Buyer within ten (10) days of receipt of such calculations.

54

(k) Payment of Certain Tax Amounts.

(i) Subject to the provisions, limits and deductions provided for in this Section 6.10(k), on April 1, 2020, Buyer shall pay to the Shareholders an amount, in cash by wire transfer pursuant to the Wire Transfer Instructions, which equals the amount of Taxes incurred by the Shareholders under Section 965 of the Code in connection with the Company (the “965 Taxes”), but in no event shall the aggregate payments pursuant to this Section 6.10(k) exceed twenty-two million five hundred thousand dollars ($22,500,000). This amount shall be transmitted by Buyer to the Shareholders in accordance with their Adjusted Pro Rata Shares.

(ii) The net amount paid under this Section 6.10(k) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price. Each of the Taxable Shareholders shall pay the amount of its 965 Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authorities promptly after Buyer makes the payment under clause (i) above (specifically designating such payment as a payment of Taxes relating to the Company under Code Section 965) and no elections shall be made to defer or postpone the payment of such Taxes to any applicable Governmental Authorities. Each of the Taxable Shareholders shall provide the Buyer with written evidence of payment of the foregoing amounts to the applicable Governmental Authorities and designation of such payment as relating to the Company under Code Section 965 within ten (10) days of such payment. Such written evidence of payment and designation of payment shall consist of (1) a copy of a check or wire transfer confirmation transmitting payment to the applicable Governmental Authorities (including as part of an estimated Tax payment), (2) a letter signed by the Taxable Shareholder to the Buyer confirming that payment of its 965 Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authorities has been made, and (3) no later than five (5) days after the earlier of filing of the Taxable Shareholder’s Tax Returns relating to its 965 Taxes hereunder with the applicable Governmental Authorities, or the due date (with extensions) for the filing of such Tax Returns, true and correct copies of the applicable forms, schedules and pages required to be included with the Taxable Shareholder’s Tax Returns as filed with the applicable Governmental Authorities showing the amount and payment of the 965 Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authorities. If a Taxable Shareholder does not provide such written evidence in accordance with this paragraph, Buyer shall withhold and offset the amounts paid by Buyer under clause (i) above from other payments due to such Taxable Shareholder until such written evidence is provided to Buyer.

(l) Tax Contests.

(i) If any Shareholders are responsible for the payment of Taxes pursuant to Section 6.10(h) or in connection with a Form 1120S for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or any similar state or local Income Tax Tax Return) (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”) and a party entitled to indemnity from a Tax Indemnifying Party (a “Tax Indemnified Party”) receives notice of any deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination, suit, dispute or other claim (a “Tax Claim”) with respect to such Taxes, the Tax Indemnified Party will notify the Shareholder Representative in writing within ten (10) days of such Tax Claim, but the failure to so notify the Tax Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Tax Indemnifying Party of any liability they may have to the Tax Indemnified Party, except to the extent the Tax Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby.

55

(ii) With respect to any Tax Claim, the Shareholder Representative may assume and control all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim and, without limiting the foregoing, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any applicable Governmental Authorities with respect thereto, and may, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund where Applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided, however, that the Shareholder Representative will consult with the Tax Indemnified Party in the negotiation and settlement of any Tax Claim and the Shareholder Representative will not, without the written consent of the Tax Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, settle or compromise any Tax Claim in any manner if such settlement or compromise would have the effect of increasing the Taxes of the Tax Indemnified Party (“Indemnified Party Tax Increase”); provided, that, to the extent that a Tax Claim relates to the Straddle Period, the Shareholder Representative and Buyer will jointly control all proceedings taken in connection with any such Tax Claim.

(iii) The Tax Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Shareholder Representative in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation will include the retention and (upon the Shareholder Representative’s request) the provision to the Tax Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim.

(iv) Neither party will settle or compromise a Tax Claim relating solely to Taxes of an Acquired Company for a Straddle Period without the other party’s written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(m) Closing Date. For the portion of the day of the Closing after the time of Closing, other than the transactions expressly contemplated hereby, Buyer will cause the Acquired Companies to carry on their business only in the Ordinary Course of Business and will not convert or otherwise change the form of an Acquired Company under Applicable Law. Buyer will not cause or permit any Acquired Company to (i) file or amend or otherwise modify any Income Tax Tax Return that relates in whole or in part to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date; (ii) make or change any election for, or that has retroactive effect to, any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date; (iii) voluntarily approach any Governmental Authority with respect to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or Income Taxes attributable to a such a taxable period; or (iv) extend or waive the statute of limitations with respect to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to Income Taxes.

56

(n) Debt Financing. Buyer and its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies after the Closing Date, covenant and agree that Buyer and the Acquired Companies shall maintain the ability under their loan and credit facilities to borrow sufficient funds that, when aggregated with all other borrowing pursuant such loan and credit facilities, will allow the Company to timely make the payments under Section 6.10(j) and Section 6.10(k). Buyer and its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies after the Closing Date, covenant and agree to make such borrowings, or cause the Acquired Companies to make such borrowings, if required for the Company to timely make the payments under Section 6.10(j) and Section 6.10(k).

6.11 No Shop. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.11, throughout the period that begins on the date hereof and ends upon the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3, neither the Company nor any Shareholder will, and the Company will cause each Acquired Company and each authorized representative or agent of the Shareholders or any Acquired Company not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, seek, or encourage any inquiry, proposal, or offer from, furnish any information to, or participate in any discussion or negotiation with any Person (other than Buyer or any Person on its behalf) regarding, or accept any offer or enter into any agreement with respect to, any acquisition of (a) any Shares or (b) a substantial portion of any Acquired Company’s equity interests, assets, or business, in whole or in part (by purchase, merger, tender offer, statutory share exchange, joint venture or otherwise), except the sales and purchases of inventory and fixed assets in the Ordinary Course of Business of the applicable Acquired Company. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.11, the Shareholders and the Company will, and will cause each Acquired Company and each authorized representative or agent of the Shareholders or any Acquired Company to, immediately terminate all such discussions or negotiations that may be in progress on the date hereof. Throughout the period that begins on the date hereof and ends upon the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3, the ESOP Trustee shall not effect any transfer, assignment, conveyance or disposition of any Shares to any Person.

6.12 Financing.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) consummate the maximum amount of the Equity Financing and (ii) ensure that the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter will be available as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (A) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (B) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions within its control applicable to funding of the Debt Financing, (C) to the extent necessary, enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or consistent in all material respects with the Debt Commitment Letter, and (D) comply with all of its obligations and enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter provided that all of the conditions set forth in Article 8 (except those to be satisfied on the Closing Date, but subject to those conditions being capable of satisfaction) have been satisfied or waived and all conditions to the Debt Commitment Letter (except those to be satisfied on the Closing Date, but subject to those conditions being capable of being satisfied on such date) have been satisfied or waived. Buyer shall keep the Company informed on a reasonable basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt

57

Financing. Buyer shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter (1) if such amendment, modification or waiver could reasonably be expected to impact, delay or otherwise adversely affect the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (2) if such amendment, modification, waiver or remedy adversely affects in any material respect the conditions of the Debt Financing or the amount of such Debt Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid in connection therewith or the original issue discount thereof) or (3) if such amendment, modification or waiver materially and adversely impacts the rights of Buyer against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter (provided that Buyer may amend the Debt Commitment Letter to add additional lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents and other similar entities). If any portion of the Debt Financing is unavailable in the manner or from the sources contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (other than as a result of the Company’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article 8), Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain alternative debt financing for such portion from alternative sources on terms and conditions no less favorable in all material respects than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (the “Alternative Financing”).

59

(e) The Company hereby consents to the use of all of its and the other Acquired Companies’ logos in connection with the Financings; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Acquired Companies or the reputation or goodwill of the Acquired Companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Acquired Companies nor any of their respective Affiliates or representatives shall be required to (1) pay any commitment or other fee in connection with the Financings, (2) enter into any Contract (other than the customary authorization letters referred to above) or modification of any Contract the effectiveness of which is not contingent upon the Closing, (3) give any indemnities in connection with the Financings (other than indemnities from the Acquired Companies that are not effective prior to the Closing), (4) provide any information the disclosure of which is prohibited or restricted (but only to the extent of such restrictions) under Applicable Law or any Contracts (that, in the case of Contracts, are in effect on the date hereof and which have been disclosed to Buyer on or prior to the date hereof) so long as the Company shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not violate such prohibition or restriction, (5) provide any memoranda that are subject to legal privilege so long as the Company shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege or (6) take any action to the extent that it would (A) unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Acquired Companies or their Affiliates, (B) violate any Applicable Law or Contract (that, in the case of Contracts, are in effect on the date hereof and which have been disclosed to Buyer on or prior to the date hereof) so long as the Company shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action in a way that would not violate such Applicable Law or Contract, (C) be reasonably likely to result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege (so long as the Company shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action in a way that would not waive such privilege), the unauthorized disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or the breach of any applicable confidentiality obligations (so long as the Company shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action in a way that would not breach such obligation), or (D) be reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached by the Company; provided, further, (I) no director, officer, manager, governor, employee or other representative of the Acquired Companies, any Shareholder or any of their Affiliates shall be required to deliver any certificate or opinion or take any other action pursuant to this Section 6.12 other than in his or her capacity as a director, officer, manager, or governor of an Acquired Company after the Effective Time and in no event shall any such certificate or opinion be effective prior to the Closing or result in personal liability to such director, officer, manager, governor, employee or other representative or to an Acquired Company, any Shareholder or any of their Affiliates and (II) neither the Shareholders nor the members of the boards of directors (or other applicable authorizing bodies) of the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing that shall not remain in such position following the Closing shall be required to approve any Financings or definitive documents related thereto prior to the Closing.

Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Acquired Companies and their Affiliates, and their respective pre-Closing directors, officers, employees, agents and other representatives, from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred in connection with the Financing (including providing the support and cooperation contemplated by this Agreement) or any information provided in connection therewith, in each case, other than any such losses arising out of, or in connection with (i) any historical financial information relating to the Company and other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Company or the Shareholders used in connection with the Financing specifically required by this Agreement or (ii) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Company, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

6.15 Non-Competition.

(a) For a period of five (5) years after the Closing (the “Restricted Period”), no Designated Person or Taxable Shareholder shall engage, directly or indirectly, in any business anywhere in the Territory that manufactures, produces or supplies products or services of the kind manufactured, produced or supplied by any of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing or, without the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly, own an interest in, manage, operate, join, control, lend money or render financial or other assistance to or participate in or be connected with, as an officer, employee, partner, stockholder, consultant or otherwise, any Person that competes with Buyer, the Business or any of the Acquired Companies in manufacturing, producing or supplying products or services of the kind manufactured, produced or supplied by any of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing.

(b) As a separate and independent covenant, no Designated Person or Taxable Shareholder shall, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing, in any way, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of conducting or engaging in any business that manufacturers, produces or supplies products or services of the kind manufactured, produced or supplied by any of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing, call upon, solicit, advise or otherwise do, or attempt to do, business with any customers of any of the Acquired Companies with whom any of the Acquired Companies had any dealings prior to the Closing or take away or interfere or attempt to interfere with any custom, trade, business or patronage of any of the Acquired Companies, or interfere with or attempt to interfere with any officers, employees, representatives or agents of any of the Acquired Companies, or induce or attempt to induce any of them to leave the employ of any of the Acquired Companies or violate the terms of their contracts, or any employment arrangements, with any of the Acquired Companies; provided, however, that the foregoing will not prohibit a general solicitation to the public of general advertising.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 6.15 by a Designated Person or Taxable Shareholder: (i) ownership of securities having no more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding voting power of any competitor which are listed on any national securities exchange as long as the Designated Person or Taxable Shareholder owning such securities has no other connection or relationship with such competitor or (ii) continuation and growth of the business interests and continuation of the types of activities for each entity as described in Schedule 6.15, but such entities may not expand into additional types of business activities that would violate paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.15. In addition, a

63

business in which a Designated Person or Taxable Shareholder is directly or indirectly engaged shall not be deemed to be in competition with the any of the Acquired Companies if (A) no more than ten percent (10%) of the annual consolidated revenues of such business (based upon its most recently completed fiscal year) are attributable to one or more business activities (“Incidental Competitive Activity”) that are in competition with the business of the Acquired Companies and (B) the Designated Person or Taxable Shareholder is not engaged, directly or indirectly, in such Incidental Competitive Activity and has no direct or indirect responsibility for, or oversight of, such Incidental Competitive Activity. Real estate holding companies, including those which may be customers of any of the Acquired Companies, shall not be considered engaged in or competitive with the business of any of the Acquired Companies.

(d) The Restricted Period with respect to any Designated Person or Taxable Shareholder shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, be extended by the length of any period during which such Designated Person or Taxable Shareholder shall be in breach of the terms of this Section 6.15.

(e) Each Designated Person and Taxable Shareholder acknowledges that the covenants of such Designated Person or Taxable Shareholder set forth in this Section 6.15 are an essential element of this Agreement and that, but for the agreement of such Designated Person or Taxable Shareholder to comply with these covenants, Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement. Such Designated Person or Taxable Shareholder acknowledges that this Section 6.15 constitutes an independent covenant that shall not be affected by performance or nonperformance of any other provision of this Agreement by Buyer. Each Designated Person and Taxable Shareholder has independently consulted with its own counsel and after such consultation agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.15 are reasonable and proper.

(f) If the duration of, the scope of or any business activity covered by any provision of this Section 6.15 is excess of what is determined to be valid and enforceable under Applicable Law, such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, scope or activity that is determined to be valid and enforceable. Each Designated Person and Taxable Shareholder hereby acknowledges that this Section 6.15 shall be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent, not exceeding its express terms, possible under Applicable Law.

(g) On the Closing Date, the Company and the Designated Person shall execute and deliver to each other a license agreement granting the Designated Person, APi Supply, Inc., and APi Supply Company, and their respective Affiliates, a royalty free license to continue to use the names “APi Supply, Inc.” and “APi Supply Company”. The terms of such license agreement shall be negotiated in good faith between the Company and the Designated Person; provided that, the license agreement shall contain at least the following terms: (i) the license shall initially expire on December 31, 2021; (ii) the license may be renewed for additional three (3) year periods at the Company’s discretion, which renewals shall not be unreasonably withheld; (iii) if the Company shall fail to renew such license, the Designated Person shall promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the expiration of such license) file, or cause the filing of, all such documents and

64

instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, necessary to change the legal name of each of APi Supply, Inc. and APi Supply Company to a name that a reasonable person would not mistake as being associated with one or more of the Acquired Companies; and (iv) the Designated Person shall furnish such written consents and assignments, and take any and all actions, as the Company shall thereafter reasonably request in connection with such name change.

6.16 Reorganization.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule 11.2, each asset and liability to be transferred as part of the Reorganization shall be transferred to the Designated Person, and the Designated Person will purchase or assume each such asset or liability, at the greater of book value or the fair market value thereof, as determined in accordance with this Section 6.16. Included on Schedule 11.2, is the net book value of each such asset as of July 31, 2019 and the Company’s good faith estimate of the net fair market value of each such asset as of the date hereof. The Company has, or will as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, obtain an independent appraisal of the fair market value of each applicable asset and liability subject to the Reorganization. The Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such appraisal to the Designated Person. The Designated Person may, within ten (10) days after the receipt of any appraisal, dispute the amount thereof by delivering written notice to the Company. If the Designated Person does not deliver a dispute notice within such ten (10)-day period, then the applicable appraisal will become final and binding on the Company and the Designated Person at the end of such ten (10)-day period. If the Designated Person timely submits a dispute notice, then the Designated Person may, at his own expense, promptly engage another independent valuation firm to conduct an appraisal of the asset or liability in question within thirty (30) days of delivery of the dispute notice by the Designated Person. If the second appraisal is within ten percent (10%) of the value of the first appraisal, then the fair market value will be the average of the two appraisals. If the difference between the first and second appraisals is more than ten percent (10%), then the two appraisers shall select a third independent appraiser to determine the fair market value of the asset or liability in question, the cost of which shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Company and fifty percent (50%) by the Designated Person. Such third appraisal must be completed within 20 days of the engagement of the third appraiser. The fair market value of any asset or liability that is appraised by a third appraiser will be the average of the two closest appraisals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall complete the Reorganization not later than December 15, 2019; provided that the Parties shall complete transfer of the interests in the HQ Building not later than the Closing.

(b) The Designated Person (except with respect to item 12 of Schedule 11.2,) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against, and will pay to the Buyer Indemnified Parties the value of, any and all Losses incurred, suffered, or paid by the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of, relating to or resulting from the Reorganization and all Liabilities relating to any properties or assets which were distributed by the Company pursuant to the Reorganization; provided, that any such Losses or Liabilities that are “Indemnified Taxes” shall be subject to Section 6.10 rather than this Section 6.16(b).

65

6.17 R&W Insurance Policy. On or prior to the date hereof Buyer shall have provided to the Company a true, accurate and complete copy of the R&W Insurance Policy. Buyer shall not agree to any material modification of the R&W Insurance Policy without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Within (10) days of the date hereof, Buyer and the Company will pay the following portions of the premium for the R&W Insurance Policy: Buyer will pay three hundred seventy-one thousand nine hundred twenty-five dollars ($371,925); and the Company will pay four hundred ten thousand twenty-five dollars ($410,025).

(b) by either Buyer or the Company, if the terminating Party (including, with respect to the Company, the Shareholders) is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement or the failure to satisfy any condition to Closing or consummate the transactions contemplated herein results in any material respect from the breach by such Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements herein or in any Ancillary Document, if Closing has not occurred on or before January 15, 2020 (the “Outside Date”);

68

hereunder, together with interest on such amounts at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required to be made. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 7.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Company and the Shareholders would not enter into this Agreement. Solely for purposes of establishing the basis for the amount thereof, it is agreed that the Buyer Termination Fee when payable in the circumstances specified herein is liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and the payment of the Buyer Termination Fee in the circumstances specified herein is supported by due and sufficient consideration (including the fact that the Company and the Equityholders would not be entitled to receive the purchase consideration hereunder and would suffer other losses of an incalculable nature and amount).

(b) If the Buyer Termination Fee is payable and paid pursuant to this Section 7.5, the Company agrees that (i) the right to receive the Buyer Termination Fee and the reimbursable expenses described in clause (a) above (the “Recoverable Amounts”), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company against Buyer, its Affiliates and, if applicable, Financing Sources and their respective representatives relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including any loss or damage suffered as a result of the breach of this Agreement or any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or any failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated), (ii) upon payment of the Recoverable Amounts by Buyer, none of Buyer, its Affiliates, its Financing Sources or their respective representatives shall have any further liability or obligation to the Equityholders, the Acquired Companies, or any of their respective representatives relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including for (A) any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated and (B) any consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, and (iii) none of the Acquired Companies, the Equityholders, or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any action or Proceeding against Buyer, its Affiliates or, if applicable, Financing Sources or their respective representatives arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that no such payment of the Recoverable Amounts will relieve Buyer of any liability or damages to any other Party resulting from any fraud or willful and material breach of this Agreement. Under no circumstances will the Company, any Equityholder, or any other Person be entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and the Buyer Termination Fee.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Financing Source shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Parties hereto or for any claim (whether at law or equity, in tort, contract or otherwise), based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. In no event shall any of the Company or the Equityholders, and each of the Company and the Equityholders agrees not to, (i) seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Financing Source or (ii) seek to

69

enforce the commitments against, make any claims for breach of the Debt Commitment Letter against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, or otherwise sue or the Financing Sources for any reason, including in connection with the Debt Commitment Letter or the obligations of the Financing Sources thereunder. Nothing in this Section 7.5 shall in any way limit or qualify the liabilities of the Financing Sources and the other parties to the Debt Financing and the Equity Financing (or the definitive documents entered into pursuant thereto) to each other thereunder or in connection therewith.

(a) Except as specified below, none of the covenants that by their terms were to be performed prior to the Closing will survive the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the special indemnification matters set forth in Schedule 9.1 (the “Special Indemnification Matters”) will survive the Closing for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3, Article 4 and Article 5 will survive the Closing until the later of March 31, 2021 or receipt by the Company of the Final Determination Letter and (iii) solely for purposes of “Indemnified Taxes,” the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.5 (Taxes)

72

(other than representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.5(g)) will survive the Closing until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. It is the express intent of the Parties that, if an applicable survival period as contemplated by this Section 9.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise apply, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations shall be reduced to the survival period contemplated hereby. The Parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 9.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’-length negotiation among the Parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the Parties.

(b) All claims for indemnification under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 must be asserted prior to (i) the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 9.1(a) or (ii) with respect to a claim against the ESOP, prior to the earlier of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 9.1(a) or receipt by the Company of the Final Determination Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party delivers a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party before expiration of the applicable survival period of a representation, warranty or covenant as set forth in Section 9.1(a) (or, with respect to the ESOP, the earlier of such date or the receipt by the Company of the Final Determination Letter), either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of any such representation, warranty or covenant, or a Claim Notice that, as a result of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party reasonably expects to incur Losses, then the applicable representation, warranty or covenant will survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such Claim Notice. If the claim with respect to which such Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party will promptly so notify the Indemnifying Party.

(c) The ESOP Trustee and Buyer will provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the ESOP Escrow Shares as follows:

(i) on the later of March 31, 2021 or receipt by the Company of the Final Determination Letter (the “Release Date”), all of the then-remaining ESOP Escrow Shares in an amount (valued at $10.25 per J2 Ordinary Share) in excess of any amounts with respect to (1) which a Buyer Indemnified Party has asserted a claim for, but not yet received, indemnification against the ESOP, and (2) any unresolved claims of a Buyer Indemnified Party for indemnification against the ESOP, pursuant to this Article 9 (all such claims in clauses (1) and (2), collectively, “Pending Claims”), and

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any indemnification limitation contained in this Agreement shall not limit Buyer’s ability to recover indemnified Losses under the R&W Insurance Policy in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) the terms of the R&W Insurance Policy will be given independent effect from the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent expressly set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy, (iii) Buyer will seek recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy (to the extent coverage is reasonably available thereunder) first before bringing a claim against any Shareholder (for the avoidance of doubt, (A) coverage shall not be deemed available if such Losses, together with all other Losses, would fall within any retention or deductible under such policy and (B) coverage shall be deemed to be available only to the extent all other claims against the R&W Insurance Policy shall have been satisfied from the R&W Insurance Policy), (iv) Buyer will ensure that the R&W Insurance Policy expressly excludes any right of subrogation by the insurers thereunder against the Equityholders or their Affiliates, except in the case of intentional fraud by a Shareholder in making a representation and warranty in this Agreement and (v) Buyer will not allow the R&W Insurance Policy to be amended in a manner that would reasonably be expected to be adverse to any Shareholder without the prior written consent of the Shareholders.

9.2 Indemnification by the Shareholders. Subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this Article 9, from and after the Closing:

(a) the Shareholders shall, severally in accordance with their Adjusted Pro Rata Shares and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and other advisors and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and will pay to the Buyer Indemnified Parties the value of, any and all Losses incurred, suffered, or paid by the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of, relating to or resulting from any of the following:

(i) the Special Indemnification Matters set forth in Schedule 9.1;

(ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 and Article 4 other than the Shareholder Fundamental Representations and Section 3.2 (Capitalization); or

(iii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 (Capitalization).

(b) each Shareholder shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against, and will pay to the Buyer Indemnified Parties the value of, any and all Losses incurred, suffered, or paid by the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of, relating to or resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any Shareholder Fundamental Representation made by that Shareholder.

For purposes of this Section 9.2, any inaccuracy in, or breach of any representation or warranty or other statement, and the amount of any Losses associated therewith, will be determined without regard for any materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualification.

74

9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this Article 9, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholders, their Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and other advisors and representatives (collectively, the “Shareholder Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and will pay to the Shareholder Indemnified Parties the value of, any and all Losses incurred, suffered, or paid by the Shareholder Indemnified Parties arising out of, relating to or resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Buyer Fundamental Representations.

For purposes of this Section 9.3, any inaccuracy in, or breach of any representation or warranty or other statement, and the amount of any Losses associated therewith, will be determined without regard for any materiality, “material adverse effect” or similar qualification.

9.4 Claim Procedure.

(a) A party that seeks indemnity under this Article 9 (an “Indemnified Party”) will give prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) containing (i) a description and, to the extent known or reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by such Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim, and (iii) a demand for payment of those Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability under this Agreement except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered Losses as a result of the delay or other deficiency.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party will deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party will either:

(i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice; or

(ii) dispute the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification by delivering to the Indemnified Party a written notice (an “Indemnity Objection Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail each disputed item, the basis for each such disputed item and certifying that all such disputed items are being disputed in good faith.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party fails to take either of the foregoing actions within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have delivered an Indemnity Objection Notice.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party delivers an Indemnity Objection Notice to the Indemnified Party, or is deemed to have delivered an Indemnity Objection Notice to the Indemnified Party, then the dispute may be resolved by any legally available means consistent with Section 10.6.

75

(e) All Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to reimbursement solely from the Adjustment Escrow Account for amounts due from the ESOP under Section 2.6(c) and from the Indemnity Escrow Account for any indemnification payment due by the ESOP to such Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 9.2(a) and (b) (with the ESOP Escrow Shares valued at $10.25 per J2 Ordinary Share).

(f) If an indemnification payment is due to a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 9.2(a) and (b) by the ESOP, the ESOP Trustee and Buyer will provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release ESOP Escrow Shares in an amount (valued at $10.25 per J2 Ordinary Share) equal to the ESOP’s obligation for the indemnification payment from the Indemnity Escrow Account to such Buyer Indemnified Party.

(g) Indemnification payments will be made within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which (i) the amounts of such payments are determined by mutual agreement of the Shareholder Representative and Buyer, or (ii) both such amount and a Shareholder’s obligation to pay such amount have been finally determined by a final Order of a court having jurisdiction over such proceeding as permitted by this Agreement.

9.5 Third Party Claims.

(a) If the Indemnified Party seeks indemnity under this Article 9 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand, whether or not involving a Proceeding, by another Person not a party to this Agreement other than any Tax Proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will include in the Claim Notice (i) notice of the commencement or threat of any Proceeding relating to such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has received written notice of the commencement of the Third Party Claim and (ii) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount of the damages claimed by the other Person, in each case to the extent known or reasonably ascertainable to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability under this Agreement except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered Losses as a result of the delay or other deficiency.

(b) If a Shareholder is the Indemnifying Party, Buyer shall be entitled to control the defense of any Third Party Claim, provided that all of the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with such defense will be considered and included as “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Shareholder shall be entitled to control the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent involving a Special Indemnification Matter or indemnification under Section 9.2, provided that (i) such Third Party Claim is not a Special Claim and (ii) the applicable Shareholder retains counsel for the defense of such Third Party Claims reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. A “Special Claim” means any Third Party Claim (1) involving criminal liability or (2) in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against the Indemnified Party.

76

(c) The party controlling the defense (the “Controlling Party”) will reasonably advise the party not controlling the defense (the “Noncontrolling Party”) of the status of the Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and, with respect to any Third Party Claim that does not relate to a Special Claim, the Controlling Party will consider in good faith recommendations made by the Noncontrolling Party. The Noncontrolling Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its own cost and expense, unless the Noncontrolling Party is the Indemnified Party and the Noncontrolling Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to the Third Party Claim, then the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Noncontrolling Party will be considered and included as “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. The Noncontrolling Party will furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Claim and related Proceedings (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and will otherwise cooperate with and assist in the defense of the Third Party Claim.

(d) If the Indemnified Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party has the right to agree in good faith to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any Order arising from, the Third Party Claim subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party will not agree to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any Order arising from, the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent the Indemnified Party will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay.

9.6 Limitations on Liability.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i) the aggregate total amount in respect of which the Shareholders will be liable to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to (A) Section 9.2(a)(i) will not exceed an amount equal to the Indemnity Cap, (B) Section 9.2(a)(ii) will not exceed an amount equal to seven million seven hundred eighty-five thousand dollars ($7,785,000) (for the avoidance of doubt, after the application of Section 9.6(a)(iv)) and (C) Section 9.2(a)(iii) and Section 9.2(b) will not exceed an amount equal to the portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price received by any such Shareholder (except, in each case, the ESOP’s portion shall be limited as set forth in Section 9.4(e)). For this purpose, none of the representations set forth in Section 3.5(g) shall be interpreted as providing any representation, warranty or other assurance regarding the existence or non-existence, amount, value or condition of any Tax assets or attributes or other Tax statuses of any Acquired Company or its assets or Liabilities (including any Tax loss carryforward, the Tax basis of any asset or any Tax method of accounting) or the ability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to utilize or rely on such Tax assets, attributes or statuses on or after the Closing.

77

(ii) no indemnification payments will be made by or on behalf of the Shareholders pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii) or Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3 in respect of any individual claim or series of claims having the same nature or origin where the Losses relating thereto are less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000).

(iii) the Shareholders’ aggregate obligation to provide indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(i) and 9.2(a)(ii) and Buyer’s aggregate obligation to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3, applies only to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Losses pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(i) and 9.2(a)(ii) or Section 9.3, as applicable, exceeds one million dollars ($1,000,000), in which event the obligation of the Shareholders or Buyer, as applicable, to provide indemnification for such Losses shall apply from the first dollar.

(iv) any indemnification payments (excluding litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) required to be made by or on behalf of the Shareholders pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii) shall be reduced by sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%).

(b) Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses with respect to which it may be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Any Losses for which any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article 9 shall be determined without duplication of any amounts or state of facts reflected on the Final Aggregate Cash Consideration Calculation Statement or taken into consideration in determining the Aggregate Cash Consideration or recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement.

(d) The amount of any Losses suffered, sustained or incurred by any Indemnified Party shall be reduced by the amount such Indemnified Party actually recovers (after deducting all reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs of recovery (including any deductible amount and any resultant increase in insurance premiums of the Indemnified Party)) from any insurer (including under the R&W Insurance Policy) or other Person then liable for such Losses. If any Indemnified Party receives any amounts under insurance coverage or from any Person with respect to Losses sustained at any time subsequent to any payment for those Losses to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 9, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the applicable Indemnifying Party (to an account designated by such Indemnifying Party) for any payment made up to such amount (subject to the limitations set forth above).

(e) Nothing in this Agreement will limit the Liability of a party hereto to the other party hereto for intentional fraud.

78

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.6, the limitations set forth in this Section 9.6 shall not apply to the obligations under Section 6.10(h).

9.7 Exclusive Remedy(a) . Subject to Section 2.6, Section 6.10, Section 9.1(d), Section 10.13 and Section 10.14, and except with respect to intentional fraud, the parties acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing their sole and exclusive remedy arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement, or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Applicable Laws or otherwise), will be strictly limited to those contained in this Article 9.

9.8 Independent Investigation; No Reliance. Buyer acknowledges that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by Buyer is not done in reliance upon any representation or warranty by, or information provided from, any Acquired Company, any Shareholder, or any of their respective Affiliates, employees, or representatives, whether oral or written, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose, except for the representations and warranties specifically and expressly set forth in Article 3 (as modified by the Disclosure Schedule) and Article 4, and Buyer acknowledges that the Shareholders and the Acquired Companies expressly disclaim any other representations and warranties. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by Buyer is instead done entirely on the basis of Buyer’s own investigation, analysis, judgment, and assessment of the present and potential value and earning power of the Acquired Companies, as well as those representations and warranties by the Company and the Shareholders specifically and expressly set forth in Article 3 (as modified by the Disclosure Schedule) and Article 4, respectively. Buyer acknowledges that neither the Acquired Companies nor any Shareholder have made any representations or warranties to Buyer regarding the probable success or profitability of the Acquired Companies or the Business. Buyer further acknowledges that none of the Acquired Companies, the Shareholders, nor any other Person has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness or materiality of any information regarding the Acquired Companies or their respective businesses or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not specifically and expressly set forth in Article 3 (as modified by the Disclosure Schedule) or Article 4, and none of the Acquired Companies, the Shareholders, or any other Person will have or be subject to any Liability resulting from the distribution to Buyer or its representatives or Buyer’s use of any such information, including any confidential information memoranda distributed on behalf of the Acquired Companies relating to the Business or other publications or data room (including any electronic or “virtual” data room) information provided or made available to Buyer or its representatives, or any other document or information in any form provided or made available to Buyer or its representatives, including any management presentations, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.9 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnity payments made under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price.

79

9.10 Designated Person Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.10, the Designated Person hereby guarantees the full performance and payment, when required, of any obligations of the Designated Trusts under this Agreement and the Ancillary documents to which they are a party. This is a guarantee of payment and performance, and not collection, and Buyer and, where applicable, each other Buyer Indemnified Party, may institute a Proceeding or bring a claim directly against the Designated Person without instituting any Proceeding or bringing a claim against a Designated Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting the rights of the Parties under Section 10.14, in no event shall the Designated Person’s Liability to Buyer or any other Person pursuant to this Section 9.10 (including any Liability of the Designated Person in respect of its guarantee of the Designated Trusts’ indemnification obligations under Article 9) exceed the Designated Trusts’ Liability with respect to such matter hereunder.

10.7 Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver.

84

representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or similar assurance of any Party regarding such subject matter). No supplement, modification or amendment hereof will be binding unless expressed as such and executed in writing by each Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of Section 7.5 (Buyer Termination Fee), Section 10.4 (No Third-Party Beneficiaries), Section 10.5 (Governing Law), Section 10.6 (Jurisdiction, Venue and Waiver of Jury Trial), Section 10.8 (Assignment; Binding Effect), Section 10.14 (Specific Enforcement), and this sentence of this Section 10.7 (and the related definitions used in those sections and any other provisions of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, modification or waiver thereof would serve to amend, modify or waive the substance or provisions of such sections) may not be amended or modified in a manner that is adverse in any respect to a Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source. Except to the extent as may otherwise be stated herein, no waiver of any term hereof will be binding unless expressed as such in a document executed by the Party making such waiver (and then only to the extent so expressed). No waiver of any term hereof will be a waiver of any other term hereof, whether or not similar, nor will any such waiver be a continuing waiver beyond its stated terms. Except to the extent as may otherwise be stated herein, failure to enforce strict compliance with any term hereof will not be a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any existing or subsequent failure to comply.

10.8 Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder will be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement; provided that Buyer may, without the consent of any other Party, assign its rights hereunder (a) to an Affiliate of Buyer or (b) for collateral security purposes to any Financing Sources or representatives thereof providing financing to Buyer, and provided further that no assignment to any such Affiliate or lender shall relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Parties. Any purported assignment, delegation or other transfer not permitted by this Section 10.8 is void.

10.9 Severability; Blue-Pencil. If any term of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, then all other terms of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and such term automatically will be amended so that it is valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, but as close to the Parties’ original intent as is permissible.

10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement, and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered, in person or by facsimile or electronic image scan, receipt acknowledged, to the other Party.

10.11 Disclosure Schedule. Certain information is contained in the Disclosure Schedule solely for informational purposes, may not be required to be disclosed pursuant hereto (including disclosed items that do not meet or exceed stated dollar thresholds), and will not imply that such information or any other information is required to be disclosed. Inclusion of such information will not establish any level of materiality or similar threshold or be an admission that any of such information is material. Each matter disclosed in any section of the Disclosure Schedule, representation or warranty in a manner that makes its relevance to one or more other sections of the Disclosure Schedule, representations or warranties reasonably apparent will be deemed to have been appropriately included in each such other section of the Disclosure Schedule, representation or warranty (notwithstanding the presence or absence of any reference in or to any section of the Disclosure Schedule, representation or warranty).

10.12 Legal Representation; Conflicts Waiver. Recognizing that Faegre Baker Daniels LLP (“FaegreBD”) has acted as legal counsel to the Acquired Companies and certain Shareholders prior to the Closing, and that FaegreBD may act as legal counsel to those Shareholders or Shareholder Representative after the Closing, Buyer and each Acquired Company hereby waives on its own behalf, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with FaegreBD representing the Shareholders or Shareholder Representative after the Closing in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, based on the fact that FaegreBD may be deemed to have represented the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing or in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between any Acquired Company, any Shareholder, Shareholder Representative and FaegreBD in the course of the consideration, negotiation and documentation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Pre-Sale Communications”) will be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Shareholders (and not any Acquired Company). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (a) any privilege relating to the Pre-Sale Communications will survive the Closing, remain in effect, and be assigned to and controlled solely by the Shareholder Representative (and not any Acquired Company), (b) FaegreBD will have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose the Pre-Sale Communications or files pertaining to the Pre-Sale Communications to any Acquired Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between FaegreBD and such Acquired Company or otherwise, (c) Buyer and any Acquired Company, together with any Affiliates, successors, or assigns, hereby agree that they may not use or rely on any Pre-Sale Communications in any action or claim on or after the Closing Date against or involving any of the Shareholders, their Affiliates, or the Shareholder Representative, and (d) each Party will take the steps necessary to ensure that any privilege relating to the Pre-Sale Communications will survive the Closing, remain in effect, and be assigned to and controlled by the Shareholder Representative. Any access by Buyer or any Acquired Company to Pre-Sale Communications after the Closing (whether through such Acquired Company’s computer systems or otherwise) will not amount to a waiver of the attorney-client privilege, nor will it adversely affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Shareholder Representative with respect to that attorney-client privilege.

10.13 Appointment of Shareholder Representative.

(a) By the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the principal terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or participating in such transactions and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with such transactions, each Equityholder hereby irrevocably appoints Shareholder Representative Services LLC as his, her or its representative (“Shareholder Representative”), as true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, with full power and authority to act for and on behalf of such Shareholder for all purposes of this Agreement

86

and the Ancillary Documents, and with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement or other such agreements and the terms of such transactions. Shareholder Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Shareholder Representative may take any and all actions that it believes are reasonably necessary or appropriate under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, including interpreting all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents. Each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that Shareholder Representative, pursuant to this Agreement, has the exclusive authority to act on his, her or its behalf in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and other transaction documents and related matters, including (i) authorization of payments to be made by any Equityholder under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, (ii) after Closing, the giving and receiving of notices to be given or received by any Equityholder, (iii) the right to resolve, settle, defend, or dispute any claims made by Buyer under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, including with respect to any adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6, or take any actions and exercise such other power, rights and authority as set forth herein, (iv) the right to retain legal counsel and to engage accountants with respect to matters regarding this Agreement, any Ancillary Document, and related documents, (v) the right to take any other action under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, including amending this Agreement or any Ancillary Document in any respect, after the Closing on behalf of such Equityholder, (vi) the right to control any privilege, including the attorney-client privilege, relating to the Pre-Sale Communications, including asserting or waiving any such privilege for the benefit of the Equityholders at its sole discretion, and (vii) taking any and all other actions specified in or contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document. All decisions and actions by Shareholder Representative permitted by this Agreement shall be binding upon all Equityholders, and no Equityholder shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same and all Equityholders agree to be severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Share) liable therefor. Buyer shall be entitled to deal with and rely conclusively on Shareholder Representative as provided herein as if, and with the same effect as if, Shareholder Representative constituted all of the Equityholders. Shareholder Representative may resign at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Equityholders. Upon the death or resignation of Shareholder Representative appointed hereby, Equityholders shall appoint a replacement Shareholder Representative who shall possess and assume the rights, powers, duties and obligations of Shareholder Representative with the same effect as though such substitute representative had originally been Shareholder Representative under this Agreement.

(b) Shareholder Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by Shareholder Representative in connection with Shareholder Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability primarily resulting from Shareholder Representative’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Shareholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Equityholders will, severally in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Shareholder Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document

87

location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with Shareholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been primarily caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Shareholder Representative, Shareholder Representative will reimburse the Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to Shareholder Representative by the Equityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by Shareholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund and (ii) the amounts of any excess over the Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Equityholders; provided, that while this section allows Shareholder Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent Shareholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will Shareholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to Shareholder Representative under this section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of Shareholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(c) The Shareholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to Shareholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. Shareholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund other than as a result of its fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Shareholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of Shareholder Representative’s responsibilities, Shareholder Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund to Buyer for further distribution to the Shareholders. For tax purposes, the Shareholder Representative Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Shareholders at the time of Closing.

(d) Any action taken by Shareholder Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 10.13 shall be effective and absolutely binding as the action of the Equityholders and Shareholder Representative under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.

88

(e) Buyer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any statements furnished to it by, and the actions of, or the failure to act by, Shareholder Representative.

10.14 Specific Enforcement.

(b) No Party shall oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief, on the terms set forth herein, on the basis such other Party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company, the Equityholders, any of their respective Affiliates or their direct or indirect equityholders be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement against any Financing Source.

10.15 Trustee Capacity. Any reference to a trust under this Agreement shall refer to the trustees of such trust. Each trustee of a trust that is entering into this Agreement or any Ancillary Document is entering into this Agreement or such Ancillary Document solely in each such Person’s capacity as trustee under the applicable trust agreement, and not in any such Person’s individual capacity. In no case shall such Person be personally liable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, including on account of any of the statements, representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Each reference to a trustee shall also be deemed to refer to such trustee’s successors.
