Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, on December 15, 2021, MoneyLion Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Epsilon Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Even Financial Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Even”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as representative of the equityholders of Even (the “Equityholders’ Representative”), pursuant to which and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Even, with Even surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

In connection and concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into support agreements (the “Support Agreements”) with certain shareholders of Even pursuant to which such shareholders have agreed to vote their respective shares of Even’s capital stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, waive their statutory appraisal rights and be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Merger.

Merger Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Even for a purchase price of $360 million, comprised of (i) 34.5 million shares of newly issued Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”), with a face value of $10.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments at closing and the other terms and conditions described in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) $15 million in cash. The equityholders of Even will also be entitled to receive an additional payment from the Company of up to an aggregate of 8 million shares of Preferred Stock, with a face value per share equal to the Conversion Price, based on the attributed revenue of Even’s business during the 13 months beginning January 1, 2022. Subject to certain exceptions described in the Merger Agreement, the shares of Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement will not be transferrable without the Company’s consent (i) for a period of twelve months following the closing of the Merger, in the case of shares of Preferred Stock issued to Even employees, or (ii) until March 22, 2022, for all other Even equityholders (the “Lockup Period”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Company will file a Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”). The Certificate of Designations will provide that the shares of Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Preferred Stock will (i) be convertible at any time upon the holder’s election and (ii) automatically convert into Common Stock if the per share volume-weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) equals or exceeds $10.00 on any 20 trading days (which may be consecutive or nonconsecutive) within any consecutive 30 trading day period that ends no later than the last day of the Lockup Period that applies to such shares of Preferred Stock. Holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a 3% cumulative annual dividend, payable at the Company’s election in either cash or Common Stock, or a combination thereof, with any Common Stock dividends valued based on the per share volume-weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock on the NYSE for the 20 trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date on which the dividend is paid. Upon a liquidation of the Company, holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference of the greater of the Conversion Price or the amount per share that such holder would have received had the Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The closing of the Merger is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2022, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including: (i) approval by Even’s stockholders of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (or any extension thereof) applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and (iii) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Company and Even.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Certificate of Designations do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement (including the form of Certificate of Designations attached thereto as Exhibit B), which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by stockholders of the Company or other security holders, but rather as a way of allocating the risk between the parties in the event the statements therein prove to be inaccurate; have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Merger Agreement itself; may no longer be true as of a given date; and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of the Company or other security holders.

Support Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain equityholders of Even (the “Supporting Equityholders”) entered into Support Agreements. Pursuant to the Support Agreements, each Supporting Equityholder has agreed to, among other things, (i) to the extent applicable, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger) and (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Merger. The Supporting Equityholders hold sufficient shares of Even to cause the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger on behalf of Even.

The foregoing description of the Support Agreements is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of Support Agreement, copies of which are included as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference.

Item 3.02.    Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein. The Preferred Stock to be offered and sold in connection with the Merger have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) thereof.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics and expectations and timing related to potential benefits, terms and timing of the transaction. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of the Company’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed transaction, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the Company; future global, regional or local economic and market conditions; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations; the Company’s ability to manage future growth; the Company’s ability to develop new products and solutions, bring them to market in a timely manner, and make enhancements to its platform; the effects of competition on the Company’s future business; or, the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently knows or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

(c)               Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (together with properly completed and duly executed tax forms), an Equityholder whose shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, Company Warrants and Vested Stock Options have been converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, Warrant Consideration or Option Consideration, as applicable, shall be entitled (A) to promptly receive from the Exchange Agent the Per Share Closing Cash Consideration to which such Equityholder is entitled pursuant to ‎Section 2.05, ‎Section 2.08 and ‎Section 2.12, if any, (B) to promptly receive from the Exchange Agent the Per Share Closing Equity Consideration to which such Equityholder is entitled pursuant to ‎Section 2.05, ‎Section 2.08 and ‎Section 2.12, if any, and (C) to receive from the Exchange Agent the portion of the remainder of the Merger Consideration, Warrant Consideration or Option Consideration payable or deliverable, as applicable, for each such Equityholder’s shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock, Company Warrants and Vested Stock Options in the manner and at (or promptly following) the times paid or delivered to the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the Equityholders entitled thereto, as set forth in this Agreement. If any such Equityholder does not surrender to the Exchange Agent a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (together with properly completed and duly executed tax forms) by the first anniversary of the Effective Time, then the Exchange Agent shall return the

portion of the Merger Consideration, Warrant Consideration or Option Consideration to which such Equityholder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to ‎Section 2.05, ‎Section 2.08 and ‎Section 2.12, and such amounts shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(d)               If any portion of the Merger Consideration, Warrant Consideration or Option Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the related share of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, Company Warrant or Vested Stock Option is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Person requesting such payment shall pay to Parent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such share or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e)               After the Effective Time, the transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock.

(f)                After the Effective Time, other than in respect of any Option Consideration, Warrant Consideration or Merger Consideration payable through Parent’s or the Surviving Company’s payroll or treasury functions pursuant to ‎Section 2.08(e), each Equityholder shall look only to the Exchange Agent for payment or delivery of the portion of the Merger Consideration, Warrant Consideration or Option Consideration payable pursuant to ‎Section 2.05, ‎Section 2.08 and ‎Section 2.12 and the other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, in respect of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, Company Warrants or Vested Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, payment by or on behalf of Parent to the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of the obligations of Parent and its Affiliates with respect to such payment.

(g)               Except as required by Applicable Law, no dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of capital stock of the Surviving Company with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to any Equityholder.

(h)               All consideration paid in respect of the surrender or exchange of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock, Company Warrants and Vested Stock Options in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares.

(i)                 For the avoidance of doubt, no interest will be paid or accrued on the Merger Consideration, Warrant Consideration or Option Consideration or any payments thereof to the Equityholders.

Section 2.08. Company Stock Options and Company Warrants.

(a)               At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that is vested or that, pursuant to its terms as in effect as of the date hereof, would become vested as of the Effective Time (other than any Company Stock Option that is held by a Company Employee who is a Non-Qualified Investor) (a “Vested Stock Option”) shall be cancelled, and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including ‎Section 2.12(a)), each holder of such a Vested Stock Option (an “Optionholder”) shall be entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of the Optionholder with respect to (i) such Vested Stock Option that is not a Company Management Security (subject to adjustment as provided herein) (A) the Per Option Closing Consideration, plus (B) the Per Security Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow, plus (C) the Per Security Indemnification Escrow, plus (D) the Additional Per Security Consideration, if any, in each case without interest and net of any required withholding of Taxes under Applicable Law (with any such withholding amount to reduce the amount of cash payable with respect to Company Management Securities) and subject to the terms and conditions of ‎Section 2.11 and ‎Section 2.15; provided that the Parent Preferred Stock to be delivered to an Optionholder pursuant to this ‎Section 2.08(a) shall in each case be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares after aggregating all shares and fractional shares otherwise to be delivered to such Optionholder (including in its capacity as an Equityholder), as applicable and (ii) such Vested Stock Option that is a Company Management Security (A) the Per Option Closing Cash Consideration (net of the applicable employee portion of any payroll, employment or similar Taxes related to such Vested Stock Option) plus (B) the Per Security Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow, plus (C) the Per Security Indemnification Escrow, plus (D) the Additional Per Security Consideration, if any, in each case without interest and net of any required withholding of Taxes under Applicable Law and subject to the terms and conditions of ‎Section 2.11 and ‎Section 2.15 (the consideration described in this ‎Section 2.08(a), the “Option Consideration”).

(b)               Each Company Stock Option that is not cancelled in accordance with ‎Section 2.08(a) (including any Company Stock Option that is vested or that, pursuant to its terms as in effect as of the date hereof, would become vested as of the Effective Time and that is held by a Company Employee that is a Non-Qualified Investor) (a “Rollover Stock Option”), at the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and become, as of the Effective Time, a stock option representing the right to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock, on substantially the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions) as applied to each such Rollover Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (an “Assumed Stock Option”), except that (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Assumed Stock Option shall be equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Rollover Stock Option by (B) the sum of (1) the Per Share Closing Equity Consideration, plus (2) the Per Security Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow, plus (3) the Per Security Indemnification Escrow (with a number of shares of Parent Common Stock underlying each Assumed Stock Option allocated as Indemnification Escrow Shares and Purchase Price Adjustment Shares as set forth on the Allocation Schedule, which amounts shall be calculated based on the same proportions as the Indemnification Escrow Shares and Purchase Price Adjustment Shares, respectively, relative to the Closing Consideration Shares) and (ii) the

exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) subject to the Assumed Stock Option shall be equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock applicable to the corresponding Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the sum of (1) the Per Share Closing Equity Consideration, plus (2) the Per Security Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow, plus (3) the Per Security Indemnification Escrow; provided, that in no event shall any assumption of Rollover Stock Options hereunder be effected in a manner that could cause the Assumed Stock Options to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, no payments made hereunder to the Equityholders in respect of Equity Securities of the Company (or any other payments by or on behalf of Parent to or for the benefit of the Equityholders pursuant to ‎Section 2.11 or ‎‎Article 10) made after the Closing shall impact the terms of any Assumed Stock Option, including the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject thereto or the exercise price thereof. In addition, each holder of a Rollover Stock Option shall be entitled to the Additional Per Security Consideration, which shall be calculated and paid in the same manner as though the Rollover Stock Option were a Vested Stock Option; provided that if, at the time the Additional Per Security Consideration is to be paid, such holder has forfeited the Assumed Stock Option relating to such Rollover Stock Option, then the applicable Additional Per Security Consideration shall be forfeited as well and shall be distributed on a pro rata basis to the other Equityholders (other than any Equityholder that previously forfeited an Assumed Stock Option) in accordance with their respective number of Closing Consideration Shares (including treating Rollover Stock Options as Vested Stock Options for purposes of this calculation, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Merger Consideration Shares held by any Equityholder that forfeited an Assumed Stock Option); provided, further, that any Additional Per Security Consideration paid in respect of an Assumed Stock Option held by a non-Accredited Investor shall not include any shares of Parent Preferred Stock and, in lieu thereof, such non-Accredited Investor shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of such Additional Per Security Consideration (valuing the shares of Parent Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price). Furthermore, to the extent any of the Assumed Stock Options are forfeited by the applicable Equityholder, such options shall be reallocated by the CEO to employees of the Surviving Company, with such reallocation to be subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Parent. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide that shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Assumed Stock Options shall be covered under Parent’s current registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC in respect of Parent’s Omnibus Incentive Plan (or any successor registration statement).

(c)               At the Effective Time, each Company Warrant shall be cancelled, and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each holder of such a Company Warrant shall be entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect to such Company Warrant (subject to adjustment as provided herein), (i) the Per Warrant Closing Consideration, plus (ii) the Per Security Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow, plus (iii) the Per Security Indemnification Escrow, plus (iv) the Additional Per Security Consideration, if any, in each case without interest and net of any required withholding of Taxes under Applicable Law and subject to the terms and conditions of ‎Section 2.11, ‎Section 2.15 and ‎‎Article 10; provided that the Parent Preferred Stock to be delivered to a holder of any Company Warrants pursuant to this ‎Section

2.08(c) shall in each case be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares after aggregating all shares and fractional shares otherwise to be delivered to such holder of any Company Warrants (including in its capacity as Equityholder), as applicable (the consideration described in this ‎Section 2.08(c), the “Warrant Consideration”). Each Unvested Company Warrant shall be cancelled and no consideration shall be paid in exchange for any Unvested Company Warrant that is cancelled.

(d)               Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall have taken all actions as are necessary to effect the cancellation and assumption of Company Stock Options and Company Warrants pursuant to ‎Section 2.08 as of the Effective Time, and to approve and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this ‎Section 2.08 in accordance with Applicable Law and the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan and any Contracts evidencing a Company Stock Option or Company Warrant (and shall provide evidence of such actions to Parent prior to the Closing).

(e)               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Option Consideration, Warrant Consideration or Merger Consideration required to be paid under this Agreement to an Equityholder in respect of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, Company Stock Options or Company Warrants (i) shall be subject to any withholding in accordance with ‎Section 2.12 and (ii) may be made to (as directed by Parent), or withheld by, Parent or the Surviving Company for remittance to such Equityholder through Parent’s or the Surviving Company’s payroll or treasury functions no later than the second normal payroll date after such payment becomes due.

Section 2.09. Pre-Closing Estimates; Updated Allocation Schedule. (a) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and furnish to Parent (i) a written statement (the “Estimate Statement”), setting forth in reasonable detail the Company’s good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital (“Estimated Closing Working Capital”), Unpaid Transaction Expenses (“Estimated Unpaid Transaction Expenses”), Closing Cash (“Estimated Closing Cash”) and Closing Indebtedness (“Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), together with reasonable supporting documentation therefor, and, based on such amounts, the Estimated Adjustment Amount and the Per Share Closing Consideration Amount, and (ii) a duly completed Allocation Schedule (using the same calculations and following the same methodologies set forth on Schedule II). Parent may until two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date provide the Company with comments to the Estimate Statement and Allocation Schedule, and the Company shall consider such comments in good faith. The Company shall provide all supporting documentation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with Parent’s review of the preliminary and final Estimate Statement and Allocation Schedule.

(b)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any investigation or examination conducted, or any knowledge possessed or acquired, by or on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (i) the parties acknowledge and agree that the preparation of the Allocation Schedule and the allocation set forth therein are the sole responsibility of the Equityholders and that Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, the Acquired Companies)

shall be entitled to rely on the Allocation Schedule, without any obligation to investigate or verify the accuracy or correctness thereof, and to make payments in accordance therewith and (ii) in no event shall Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates, have any Liability to any Person (including the Equityholders’ Representative and each of the Equityholders) in connection with any claims relating to any alleged inaccuracy or miscalculations in, or otherwise relating to, the preparation of the Allocation Schedule and the allocation set forth therein or payments made by any Person (including Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and their respective Affiliates) in accordance therewith.

Section 2.10. Post-Closing Statement. (a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Parent will prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Equityholders’ Representative a statement setting forth Parent’s calculation of (i) Closing Working Capital, (ii) Unpaid Transaction Expenses, (iii) Closing Cash, (iv) Closing Indebtedness and (v) Final Adjustment Amount (the “Post-Closing Statement”).

(b)               After the delivery of the Post-Closing Statement and until the determination of Final Closing Working Capital, Final Unpaid Transaction Expenses, Final Closing Cash and Final Closing Indebtedness, Parent shall provide Equityholders’ Representative and its representatives reasonable access at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to the records and (subject to the execution of customary access letters if requested) auditor work papers relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and shall instruct its personnel to reasonably cooperate with the Equityholders’ Representative in connection with its review of the Post-Closing Statement.

(c)               If the Equityholders’ Representative disagrees with Parent’s calculation of any of the amounts set forth on the Post-Closing Statement, the Equityholders’ Representative may, within 30 days after receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, deliver a written notice to Parent disagreeing with such calculation(s) and setting forth the Equityholders’ Representative’s calculation of such amount(s). Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Equityholders’ Representative disagrees and its alternative calculations with respect to each item set forth on the Post-Closing Statement, and the Equityholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Post-Closing Statement, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. If the Equityholders’ Representative fails to deliver such a written notice within such 30 day period, the Equityholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed to the Post-Closing Statement and items and amounts set forth therein, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder.

(d)               If a notice of disagreement is duly delivered pursuant to ‎Section 2.10(c), the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent shall, during the 30 days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the Final Amounts. If, after the expiration of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent are unable to reach such agreement on all such items and amounts, they shall promptly thereafter submit the

remaining disputed items to an independent accounting firm of nationally recognized standing as shall be mutually agreed upon in writing by Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative (the “Accounting Referee”) for resolution. In making such determination, the Accounting Referee (i) shall consider only those items or amounts in the Post-Closing Statement as to which the Equityholders’ Representative has disagreed and which have not been resolved prior to submission to the Accounting Referee, (ii) shall not be entitled to hold any hearings or take or order the taking of depositions or other testimony, (iii) with respect to each matter submitted to it, shall not resolve such matter in a manner that is more favorable to Parent than the Post-Closing Statement or more favorable to the Equityholders’ Representative than the notice of disagreement delivered pursuant to ‎Section 2.10(c) and (iv) shall not consider any proposals related to settlement of any disputed items made by any of the parties. The Accounting Referee is not authorized to, and shall not, make any other determination including (A) any determination with respect to any matter included in the Post-Closing Statement or the Equityholders’ Representative’s notice of disagreement that was not submitted for resolution to the Accounting Referee or (B) any determination as to compliance by the Company, any Equityholder, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Company with any of its covenants in this Agreement. Neither Parent nor the Equityholders’ Representative shall make, and the Equityholders’ Representative shall use reasonable best efforts to prevent any Equityholders from making, any communications with the Accounting Referee to which the Equityholders’ Representative is not a party, in the case of communications by Parent, or Parent is not a party, in the case of communications by the Equityholders’ Representative or the Equityholders. Any disputes not within the scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Referee pursuant to this ‎Section 2.10(d) (as well as any disputes about the scope of disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Referee pursuant to this ‎Section 2.10(d)) shall be resolved pursuant to ‎‎Section 13.07.

(e)               The Accounting Referee shall deliver to the Equityholders’ Representative and Parent, as promptly as practicable and no later than 60 days after its appointment, a written report setting forth the Accounting Referee’s determination of the Final Amounts which shall be final and binding upon the Equityholders’ Representative, the Equityholders and Parent absent fraud or manifest error. The dispute resolution by the Accounting Referee under this ‎Section 2.10 shall constitute an expert determination and shall not constitute an arbitration. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne one-half by Parent, on the one hand, and one-half by the Equityholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Equityholders), on the other hand.

Section 2.11. Adjustment of Consideration. (a) Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Amounts:

(i)                 If (x) the Estimated Adjustment Amount exceeds (y) the Final Adjustment Amount (the amount of such excess, the “Overpayment Amount”), then Parent shall cancel for no consideration a number of Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Shares with a value equal to the Overpayment Amount (valuing the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Shares based on the Agreed Valuation Price and applying such cancellation pro rata to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share), but disregarding, for such purposes, the

exercise price of any Assumed Stock Option that is a Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Share); and

(ii)              If (x) the Final Adjustment Amount exceeds (y) the Estimated Adjustment Amount (the amount of such excess, the “Underpayment Amount”), then Parent shall issue or cause to be issued to the Exchange Agent, for distribution to the Equityholders, for no consideration a number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock with a value equal to the Underpayment Amount (valuing the shares of Parent Preferred Stock at the Agreed Valuation Price). Such shares shall be distributed to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Fully Diluted Share.

(b)               For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts payable to the Exchange Agent or the Equityholders hereunder (including any Underpayment Amount) shall be made net of any Unpaid Transaction Expenses that arise as a result of the payment of such amounts.

(c)               “Final Closing Working Capital,” “Final Unpaid Transaction Expenses,” “Final Closing Cash,” and “Final Closing Indebtedness” mean the Closing Working Capital, the Unpaid Transaction Expenses, Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness, in each case, (i) as shown in Parent’s calculation delivered pursuant to ‎Section 2.10(a) if no notice of disagreement with respect thereto is duly delivered pursuant to ‎Section 2.10(c); or (ii) if such a notice of disagreement is delivered, (A) as agreed by Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative pursuant to ‎Section 2.10(d) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Accounting Referee’s determination delivered pursuant to ‎Section 2.10(e) (absent fraud or manifest error).

(d)               The cancelation for no consideration of a number of (i) first, Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Shares (valuing the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Shares based on the Agreed Valuation Price) and (ii) next, in an amount not to exceed $4,000,000, the Indemnification Escrow Shares (valuing the Indemnification Escrow Shares based on the Agreed Valuation Price) with a value equal to the Overpayment Amount shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent or any of its Affiliates for any Overpayment Amount or otherwise under this ‎Section 2.11, and neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall have any other claim against any Equityholder, the Equityholders’ Representative, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, equityholders, advisors, consultants, agents or other Representative in respect thereof.

Section 2.12. Non-Qualified Investors; Form of Consideration.

(a)               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any holder of Equity Securities of the Company for which the Company does not have a current W-2 evidencing that such holder is an Accredited Investor at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, such holder shall provide a written certification to Parent (in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent) that such holder is an Accredited Investor, along with other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that such holder is an Accredited Investor (any such holder with respect to whom the Company has such a W-2 or that has provided such written certification, a “Qualified Investor”, and any such holder with respect to whom the Company does not have

such a W-2 and that has not provided the written certification referred to in this Section 2.12(a), a “Non-Qualified Investor”). With respect to:

(i)                 each Non-Qualified Investor that is a Company Employee and holds shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, (A) the number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock to which such Non-Qualified Investor would otherwise be entitled in respect of the equity portion of the Merger Consideration shall be reduced to zero and (B) in lieu thereof, such Non-Qualified Investor shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock set forth in the preceding clause (A) multiplied by (B) the Conversion Price (without interest and net of any required withholding of Taxes under Applicable Law); and

(ii)              each Non-Qualified Investor that is neither a Company Employee nor a Top 35 Non-Qualified Investor, (A) the number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock to which such Non-Qualified Investor would otherwise be entitled in respect of the equity portion of the Merger Consideration, Option Consideration and/or Warrant Consideration shall be reduced to zero and (B) in lieu thereof, such Non-Qualified Investor shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock set forth in the preceding clause (i) multiplied by the Conversion Price (without interest and net of any required withholding of Taxes under Applicable Law).

(b)               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, shall be issued in exchange for any Company Capital Stock, Company Warrants or Company Stock Options, and no holder of any of the foregoing shall be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Preferred Stock. In the event that any such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable (after aggregating all shares and fractional shares of Parent Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, issuable to such holder in connection with each payment event and calculated on a per Equity Security basis (but treating each of the Closing Consideration Shares, Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Shares and Indemnification Escrow Shares issued as the Merger Consideration, Warrant Consideration or Option Consideration, and each of the shares of Parent Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, issued pursuant to ‎Section 2.11 or ‎Section 2.15 as separate payment events)), then such holder shall be paid an amount in U.S. Dollars (without interest) equal to (i) the Conversion Price multiplied by (ii) the fraction of a share of Parent Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, in which case Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent the amount of cash necessary to make such payments and Parent shall retain such fractional shares. The parties acknowledge that payment of cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares of Parent Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock was not separately bargained for consideration but represents merely a mechanical rounding off for purposes of simplifying the problems that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of Parent Preferred Stock.

(c)               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any obligation pursuant to ‎Section 2.11 or ‎Article 10 of a Non-Qualified Investor that received cash in lieu of the equity portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to ‎Section 2.12(a) shall be satisfied by such Non-Qualified Investor by payment in cash.

Section 2.13. Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable or deliverable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or delivery under any provision of federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax law. The applicable withholding agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Equityholders’ Representative at least five (5) Business Days prior to any required deduction or withholding (other than withholding on amounts properly treated as compensation for Tax purposes or as a result of a failure to provide the certification required under ‎‎Section 6.01(g)) and shall reasonably cooperate with the Equityholders’ Representative to reduce or eliminate any such withholding prior to any remittance to a Taxing Authority. Any amounts so deducted and withheld and paid over to the proper Taxing Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.14. Expense Fund. At the Effective Time, Parent will wire to the Equityholders’ Representative the Expense Fund, which will be held by the Equityholders’ Representative as agent and for the benefit of the Equityholders in a segregated client account and which will be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Equityholders’ Representative for, any Equityholders’ Representative Expenses or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group. The Equityholders’ Representative will hold the Expense Fund separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make it available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. No Equityholders will receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Equityholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Equityholders’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The Equityholders’ Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. As soon as reasonably determined by the Equityholders’ Representative that the Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Equityholders’ Representative will deliver the balance of the Expense Fund to the Exchange Agent for further distribution to the Equityholders, in accordance with their respective Additional Per Security Consideration as instructed by the Equityholders’ Representative in writing (provided that any cash amounts payable in respect of Company Stock Options shall be paid by the Surviving Company through payroll). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Equityholders.

Section 2.15. Earnout Payment. (a) As additional consideration to the Equityholders hereunder, the Equityholders shall be entitled to receive an additional payment in the form of Parent Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, in an aggregate amount equal to the Earnout Amount (such payment, the “Earnout Payment”) as set forth in this ‎Section 2.15. The Earnout Payment shall be paid (net of any Transaction Expenses triggered by the Earnout Payment) as and when required by ‎Section 2.15(d), and shall be subject to the review and dispute procedures set forth in ‎Section 2.15(c). Under no circumstance shall the Earnout Payment payable hereunder be greater than $80,000,000 (valuing the Parent Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, at the Conversion Price).

(b)               Within one-hundred ten (110) days after the end of the Earnout Period, Parent or a Subsidiary thereof shall deliver to the Equityholders’ Representative a statement for the Earnout Period (the “Earnout Statement”) indicating in reasonable detail the Earnout Period Revenue and the resulting calculation of the Earnout Amount. The Earnout Statement and all amounts, determinations and calculations contained therein (including the calculation of Earnout Period Revenue and the resulting calculation of the Earnout Amount) shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Policies.

(c)               Following delivery of the Earnout Statement, Parent shall provide the Equityholders’ Representative with such information and documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Equityholders’ Representative for purposes of reviewing the Earnout Statement and the Company shall make its and the Company’s respective employees, advisors and representatives reasonably available (during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice) to the Equityholders’ Representative for the purposes of discussing the Earnout Statement and the calculations and determinations contained therein. During the thirty (30)-day period following the delivery of the Earnout Statement, the Equityholders’ Representative may object to any of the calculations and determinations contained in the Earnout Statement by delivering written notice thereof to Parent (an “Earnout Objection Notice”) describing such objection and the Equityholders’ Representative’s alternative calculation in reasonable detail. If no Earnout Objection Notice is delivered to Parent within the applicable period or if the Equityholders’ Representative delivers to Parent a notice of acceptance of the calculations and determinations set forth in the Earnout Statement, the Equityholders’ Representative shall no longer be able to challenge the Earnout Statement or any of the calculations or determinations contained therein, all of which (including the amount of Revenue, as applicable, and the resulting calculation of the Earnout Amount) shall become final and binding on the Parties. If an Earnout Objection Notice is timely delivered, Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute during the thirty (30)-day period commencing on the date Parent receives the Earnout Objection Notice from the Equityholders’ Representative. The Earnout Objection Notice shall specify Equityholders’ Representative’s calculation of any disputed amounts and in reasonable detail the Equityholders’ Representative’s grounds for such disagreement. Any item set forth in the Earnout Statement and not objected to in the Earnout Objection Notice shall be final and binding on the Parties. If Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after an Earnout Objection Notice has been given, the Company and the Equityholders’ Representative shall submit all

unresolved objections contained in the Earnout Objection Notice to the Accounting Referee. The Accounting Referee will be directed to review such items in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in ‎Section 2.10(d) as if they applied to the resolution of such objections mutatis mutandis and, within 30 days, make a determination of such objections. The resolution of the dispute by the Accounting Referee will be final and binding on the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne as specified in the procedures set forth in ‎Section 2.10(e) as if they applied to the resolution of the objections pursuant to this ‎Section 2.15(c) mutatis mutandis.

(d)               Parent shall issue or cause to be issued to the Equityholders the Earnout Shares (net of any Transaction Expenses triggered by the Earnout Payment) promptly (but no later than the third (3rd) Business Day) after the Earnout Amount has been finally determined in accordance with this ‎Section 2.15 (the “Earnout Release Date”). Such issuances shall be made to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Fully Diluted Share.

(e)               During the Earnout Period, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to: (i) use reasonable best efforts to operate the business of the Surviving Company in accordance with the Operational Plan in all material respects, (ii) operate the business of the Surviving Company as a separate entity in good faith and not in a manner intended to reduce the Earnout Payment the Equityholders may be entitled to receive, (iii) not institute policies that are intended to adversely affect the Revenue of the Surviving Company or eliminate any business or operations conducted by the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing other than (x) as set forth in the Operational Plan or (y) any changes mutually agreed upon between Parent and the Chief Executive Officer of the Surviving Company (initially Phillip Rosen) (the “CEO”), (iv) provide such assistance as is reasonably necessary to facilitate the timely execution of customer contracts proposed by the Surviving Company, and permit the Surviving Company as a separate entity to continue reasonably servicing any agreements in effect between the Company and its customers as of the Effective Time, (v) not sell, exchange, dispose of or exclusively license any material asset or assets of the Surviving Company and (vi) use reasonable best efforts to provide the Surviving Company with access to a mutually agreed upon level of working capital in accordance with the Operational Plan to fund operations, growth and expansion of the Surviving Company, which capital shall be utilized in the reasonable discretion of management of the Surviving Company in accordance with the Operational Plan, under the direction of the CEO. If there is a sale of all or substantially all of the assets or equity of Parent, whether by merger, purchase or otherwise on or prior to the Earnout Release Date, then Parent shall cause the successor entity of Parent or parent thereof to assume the obligations of Parent under this ‎Section 2.15. Each Equityholder acknowledges and agrees that: (A) there can be no assurances that the Earnout Payment will be earned; and (B) subject to the immediately foregoing sentence, (1) from and after the Closing, Parent will own and control the Surviving Company and will cause the Surviving Company to conduct its businesses in whatever manner Parent determines to be in the best interests of Parent and its Affiliates in their sole discretion; (2) neither Parent nor the Surviving Company is assuming any obligation to take, or to cause the Surviving Company to take, any action to increase Revenues for any period; and (3) Parent owes no fiduciary duty to any Equityholder with respect to the Earnout Payment.

(f)               Parent shall have the right to permanently reduce and set-off against the Earnout Payment required to be paid to the Equityholders pursuant to this ‎Section 2.15 any unpaid Damages to which a Parent Indemnified Party is finally determined to be owed in accordance with ‎Section 10.10(a)(ii).

(g)               For tax purposes, the parties agree to treat any Earnout Payment as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration (and not “boot”) for all Tax purposes except to the extent required by Applicable Law, and, without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that interest may be imputed on the shares received as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code.

Section 2.16. Lockup. (a) Each Equityholder shall not Transfer any Merger Consideration Shares during the applicable Lockup Period without the prior written consent of Parent (a “Prohibited Transfer”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Equityholder may Transfer Merger Consideration Shares:

(i)                 to Parent’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of Parent’s officers or directors;

(ii)              to any Affiliate of such Equityholder or any partner, member or equityholder of such Equityholder or any of their respective Affiliates;

(iii)            to any other Equityholder;

(iv)             in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of such individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such individual or to a charitable organization;

(v)               in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon the death of such individual;

(vi)             in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order;

(xi)             to Parent;

provided, that (x) in the case of clauses ‎(i), ‎(ii), ‎(iv) or ‎(viii), it shall be a condition to such Transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to Parent an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the applicable Merger Consideration Shares subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Equityholder, and there shall be no further Transfer of the Merger Consideration Shares except in accordance with this Agreement and (y) nothing in this Agreement, including this Error! Reference source not found., shall restrict any Equityholder’s (or any of such Equityholder’s Affiliates’) brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, principaling, merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, investment activity and any other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of business by such Equityholder or any of such Equityholder’s Affiliates.

(b)               Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the transfer restriction period applicable to holders of Equity Securities of Parent pursuant to ‎Section 5.06 of the Parent Bylaws is terminated, waived or otherwise modified or amended by Parent’s Board of Directors or the requisite stockholders of Parent, as applicable, in a manner that is generally applicable to such holders of Equity Securities of Parent, then such termination, waiver, modification or amendment shall apply pro rata to the Merger Consideration Shares; provided, however, that, in any event, clauses ‎(iii) and ‎(iv) of the definition of Lockup Period shall be unaffected.

(c)               If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and Parent shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Merger Consideration Shares as one of its equityholders for any purpose. In order to enforce this ‎Section 2.16, Parent may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Merger Consideration Shares of an Equityholder until the end of the applicable Lockup Period, except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

(d)               During the applicable Lockup Period, the book-entry notation representing the Merger Consideration Shares shall contain legends substantially in the form of the following, as well as any additional legends that may be required by applicable law or by this Agreement:

THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER DATED DECEMBER 15, 2021 BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER AND CERTAIN OTHER PERSONS, WHICH RESTRICT THE RIGHT TO TRANSFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THE SECURITIES. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN

At or prior to Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent the resignations of each such director, officer, limited liability company manager or other Person from such positions with the Acquired Companies, except for Phillip Rosen (in his capacity as CEO), effective as of the Effective Time (unless Parent requests that any such resignation not be delivered) substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F.

Section 5.08. Payoff Letters. (a) No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent payoff letters with respect to any Indebtedness for borrowed money of any Acquired Company outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, to be provided by the administrative agent, if applicable, or lenders or creditors in respect thereof, dated within a reasonable time prior to the Closing Date, which shall, in each case, (i) set forth the aggregate amount of Indebtedness arising under or owing or payable thereunder and in connection therewith on the Closing Date and (ii) acknowledge and agree that, upon payment of such aggregate amounts on the Closing Date, the Acquired Companies shall have paid in full all amounts arising under or owing or payable thereunder and in connection therewith, and all Liens related to such Indebtedness shall be released, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent (the “Payoff Letters”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall, and shall cause each other Acquired Company to, cooperate with and take all actions reasonably requested by Parent in order to facilitate the termination and payoff of all of the Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies (and related release of Liens) at the Closing.

(b)               With respect to any Unpaid Transaction Expenses, the Company shall submit to Parent no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (i) the Transaction Expenses Payoff Instructions and (ii) an invoice submitted by each payee referred to in the Transaction Expenses Payoff Instructions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent.

Section 5.09. 280G Matters. (a) To the extent that (x) any “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 280G of the Code) of any Acquired Company (a “Disqualified Individual”) would be entitled to any payment or benefit as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or

subsequent events) and (y) such payment or benefit would or could reasonably be expected to constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code or could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of any excise Tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the Acquired Companies shall, prior to the Closing:

(i)                 seek a binding written waiver by such Disqualified Individual (each, an “Excess Parachute Waiver”) of any portion of such parachute payment as exceeds three times such individual’s “base amount” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code less one dollar (collectively, the “Excess Parachute Payments”) to the extent such Excess Parachute Payments are not subsequently approved pursuant to a shareholder vote in accordance with the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Acquired Companies’ organizational documents (the “280G Shareholder Approval Requirements”); and

(ii)              if an Excess Parachute Waiver is obtained, use best efforts to seek stockholder approval in a manner intended to satisfy the 280G Shareholder Approval Requirements in respect of the Excess Parachute Payments payable to all such Disqualified Individuals.

(b)               The Acquired Companies shall provide any Excess Parachute Waivers obtained by the Company, disclosure to shareholders and any other resolutions, notices or other documents issued, distributed, adopted or executed in connection with the implementation of this ‎Section 5.09 to Parent, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, for its prior review and comment, and the Acquired Companies shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by Parent; provided that Parent shall have provided the Acquired Companies the relevant terms of any contracts or other arrangements that would be entered into with any Disqualified Individual on or about the Closing Date that would result in any payment or other benefit that would be required to be disclosed to the shareholders in connection with the 280G Shareholder Approval Requirements.

(c)               To the extent any Excess Parachute Payments with respect to which any Excess Parachute Waiver is obtained are not approved as contemplated above, such Excess Parachute Payments shall not be made or provided. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent written evidence of satisfaction of the 280G Shareholder Approval Requirements or written notice of the non-satisfaction thereof.

Section 5.10. Exclusivity. From the date hereof until the Effective Time, except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or as expressly consented to by Parent in writing, the Company, the Equityholders’ Representative (in its capacity as such) and the Equityholders shall not, and each shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, encourage, initiate, enter into any Contract, or encourage or entertain the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to the direct or indirect acquisition of any Equity Securities of any Acquired Company or any material portion of the assets of any Acquired Company, whether in an acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation, exchange,

sale of assets, sale of stock or membership interests, or otherwise, or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnishing any information with respect to, assisting or participating in, or knowingly facilitating in any other manner any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. The Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, immediately (i) cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent and Merger Sub) conducted heretofore with respect to any of the matters addressed in ‎‎Section 5.10 and (ii) exercise contractual rights (if any) to cause the return or destruction of any confidential information shared with any such Persons in connection therewith.

Section 5.11. Financial Statements. The Company shall, upon advance written notice, use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide, during normal business hours and in a manner such as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the Company, to Parent, at Parent’s sole expense, from time to time prior to the Closing, all cooperation reasonably requested in writing by Parent, including using commercially reasonable efforts with respect to the following:

(i)                 as promptly as reasonably practicable, (A) furnishing Parent with the Required Information and (B) updating any Required Information provided to Parent so that such Required Information is Compliant, including working with the auditors of the Company to commence the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Additional Financial Statements”) as promptly as practicable and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause such auditors to complete such audit no later than the sixty-eighth (68^th) day following the Closing Date;

(ii)              as promptly as reasonably practicable, informing Parent if, to the Company’s knowledge, there exist any facts that would be reasonably likely to require the restatement of any financial statements comprising a portion of the Required Information in order for such financial statements to comply with GAAP or be Compliant;

(iii)            causing their independent auditors to (A) provide, consistent with customary practice, (x) reasonable assistance to Parent with respect to Parent’s preparation of pro forma financial statements and information, (y) customary consents of auditors for the inclusion or incorporation by reference of their reports in any registration statement or prospectus to be filed by Parent and the use of their reports in any other materials as may be required by Applicable Law or requested by the SEC, and (z) customary comfort letters (including customary “negative assurance” comfort and change period comfort) with respect to the Historical Financial Statements, the Additional Financial Statements and financial information relating to the Acquired Companies as reasonably requested by Parent and (B) attend accounting due diligence sessions to the extent reasonably requested by Parent; and

(iv)             reasonably assisting Parent in connection with the preparation of pro forma financial information and pro forma financial statements to the extent necessary or reasonably requested; provided that such assistance shall consist of the provision of historical financial information regarding the Acquired Company Entities that is reasonably available from their books and records and reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary to prepare pro forma financial statements for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2020 and as of and for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2021.

Section 5.12. Regulatory Filings.

(a)               The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make or cause to be made the filings, applications and submissions set forth on Section 3.03 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Regulatory Filings”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Regulatory Filings promptly after the date hereof and such other related or similar filings, applications or submissions required under Applicable Law in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review each Regulatory Filing prior to it being submitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, and the Company shall consider Parent’s reasonable comments to each Regulatory Filing and incorporate such comments that the Company deems appropriate in its good faith discretion. The substance of any disclosure regarding (i) the Parent, (ii) its direct or indirect owners, (iii) the Affiliates of the Persons described in the foregoing clauses, or (iv) any directors, officers, executives or partners of the Persons described in the foregoing clauses (such Persons collectively, the “Parent Regulatory Persons”), with respect to any Regulatory Filing shall be satisfactory to Parent, and the Company shall not include any disclosure regarding the persons listed in clauses (i) through (iv) of this sentence in any Regulatory Filing that deviates in any material respect from the disclosure provided by Parent to the Company without Parent’s prior written consent to such revised disclosure.

(b)               The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or approval of a Governmental Authority that is required to be obtained by any Acquired Company, including any such consent, waiver, authorization or approval that a Governmental Authority notifies any Acquired Company in writing it is required to obtain as a result of any Regulatory Filing, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Regulatory Approvals”); provided, such efforts shall not require agreeing to any obligation or accommodations (financial or otherwise) binding on an Acquired Company that is materially more onerous than the obligations of such Acquired Company to such Governmental Authority as of the date hereof, other than filing fees payable in connection with such Regulatory Approvals and no Acquired Company should agree to any such obligation or accommodation without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to the Parent’s compliance with Section 8.10(a), in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, the Company shall promptly comply with any additional requests for information, including requests for production of documents and production of witnesses for interviews or depositions, by any Governmental Authorities.

(e)               The Company shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all filing fees under any applicable Laws, which shall be deemed Transaction Expenses hereunder.

Article 6
Tax Matters

Section 6.01. Tax Matters.

(a)               Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend that the Merger be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that this Agreement be adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder with respect thereto. This Agreement hereby is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” with respect to the Merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Each party hereto will not take any action or cause any action to be taken (excluding any action contemplated by this Agreement), which action could be reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(b)               All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any similar Tax) shall be borne equally by Parent, on one hand, and the Equityholders (as a Transaction Expense), on the other. If required by Applicable Law, the Equityholders shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any applicable Tax Returns.

(c)               Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies required to be filed following the Closing Date. Any such Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than non-income Tax Returns relating to a Straddle Tax Period) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and the provisions of this Agreement, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law or this Agreement. To the extent that any such Tax Return includes a Pre-Closing Tax Period and could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnity claim by any Parent Indemnified Party under this Agreement, Parent shall provide the Equityholders’ Representative with a copy of a draft of

such Tax Return at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (taking into account any extensions thereof) or, in the case of non-income Tax Returns, such shorter period as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances, and Parent shall reasonably and in good faith consider any revisions to such Tax Returns as are requested by the Equityholders’ Representative, provided that such revisions are requested no more than twenty (20) days after such Tax Return is delivered to the Equityholders’ Representative; provided further, that, if Parent and the Equityholders’ Representative cannot resolve any disagreement regarding any such revisions in good faith, Parent shall be permitted to file such Tax Return as prepared by Parent incorporating revisions agreed to by the parties on the due date thereof and the matter shall be submitted to the Accounting Referee for resolution, using procedures analogous to those set forth in ‎Section 2.10(c) and ‎Section 2.10(d).

(d)               Parent shall have the right to control the conduct of any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding or of any demand or claim on the Surviving Company or any Acquired Company relating to Taxes (collectively, a “Tax Contest”); provided, however, that if a Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification claim under ‎‎Section 10.02 of this Agreement (i) the Equityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest at its sole expense (including having the opportunity to consult with Parent regarding actions and the opportunity to review and comment on written materials furnished in connection with such actions), (ii) Parent shall keep the Equityholders’ Representative reasonably informed with respect to any such Tax Contest and (iii) Parent shall not settle, compromise or abandon any portion of such Tax Contest which could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification claim under ‎Section 10.02 without obtaining the prior written consent of the Equityholders’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to ‎Article 10 may conflict with any obligation or responsibility pursuant to this ‎‎Section 6.01, the provisions of this ‎‎Section 6.01 shall control.

(e)               The parties agree that the amount of any refunds (or credits in lieu thereof) of Taxes of an Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods, in each case except for such refunds or credits (i) taken into account in the final determination of Closing Working Capital or Closing Indebtedness or (ii) arising from the carryback of any Tax loss, deduction or credit from a Post-Closing Tax Period, shall be for the benefit of the Equityholders, and Parent shall pay (or cause to be paid by an Acquired Company) to the Equityholders’ Representative (for the benefit of the Equityholders) any such amounts received (whether as a refund or as an offset against Taxes otherwise payable by Parent or an Acquired Company), net of any out-of-pocket costs (including Taxes) of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing Date, the Acquired Companies) associated with the receipt thereof within fifteen (15) days of receipt thereof. The parties further agree that (i) Parent may set off any amount due under this ‎‎Section 6.01(e) against any amounts owed to Parent in respect of Taxes due that are the subject of indemnification under this Agreement and (ii) to the extent any amount previously paid to the Equityholders’ Representative under this ‎‎Section 6.01(e) is subsequently disallowed, the Equityholders’ Representative shall promptly thereafter repay such amount to Parent together with any interest, penalties or other amounts imposed by the relevant Governmental Entity.

(f)                Parent, the Equityholders and their respective Affiliates and the Equityholders’ Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit or other proceeding and within such party’s possession or obtainable without material cost or expense, and making employees or other representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Equityholders’ Representative shall have no obligation to prepare or file any Tax Returns. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to require Parent to provide to any Person any right to access or to review any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return that includes Parent or any Affiliate of Parent, and any pro forma Tax Return used to create any such consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Tax Return, except, in each case, to the extent of any stand-alone Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies and supporting Tax data and records relating solely and exclusively thereto.

(i)                 For the purposes of determining the liability for Taxes of, or in respect of, or payable by, an Acquired Company or any of its assets or liabilities in respect of any Straddle Tax Period, the amount of any Taxes for such Straddle Tax Period which relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided, however, that any property or other ad valorem Taxes and any item (such as depreciation or amortization) determined on a periodic basis shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period by multiplying the amount of such Tax for the entire relevant Straddle Tax Period by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of such Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Tax Period.

(ii)              To the extent permitted or required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b) (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law), all extraordinary items (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(C)) of any Acquired Company incurred on the Closing Date after the Effective Time will be treated as having occurred at the beginning of the day immediately following the Closing Date and will be reported in the Post-Closing Tax Period of the Acquired Companies.

(iii)            Without the prior written consent of the Equityholders’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Parent shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Acquired Company to, take any action (other than actions contemplated herein) on the Closing Date, outside the ordinary course of business, if such action reasonably would be expected to give rise to or increase an indemnification claim against Equityholders under ‎Section 10.02 of this Agreement.

(g)               At the Closing, the Company, shall deliver to Parent (i) a certification, signed by the Company under penalties of perjury and dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-2(c)(3) of the Treasury Regulations and confirms that the Company is not, nor has it been within five (5) years of the date of the certification, a “United States real property holding corporation” as defined in Section 897 of the Code and (ii) a notice to the IRS, signed by the Company, that satisfies the requirements of Section 1.897-2(h)(2) of the Treasury Regulations with written authorization for Parent to deliver such notice to the IRS on behalf of the Equityholders after the Closing Date provided, that if the Company fails to deliver such certification, the transactions shall nonetheless be able to close and Parent shall be entitled to withhold from any consideration paid pursuant to this Agreement the amount required to be withheld under Section 1445 of the Code.

(h)               Notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement to the contrary, all Tax Sharing Agreements between an Acquired Company and any other Person (other than another Acquired Company) shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date and, after the Closing, the Company will not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(i)                 Without the prior written consent of the Equityholders’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or except as may be required by Applicable Law, none of Parent, any Acquired Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates shall cause or permit any Acquired Company to, (1) to the extent relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Period in the case of matters not relating to income, sales/use or other material Tax matters), (i) amend, re-file or otherwise modify (or waive, or grant an extension of, any statute of limitation with respect to) any income, sales/use or other material Tax Return, (ii) file an income, sales/use or other material Tax Return for a type of Tax in a jurisdiction where the Company has not previously filed a Tax Return for that type of Tax, (iii) self-assess a Tax, (iv) engage in voluntary disclosures or discussions with any taxing authority regarding any Tax or Tax Returns, (v) file any private letter ruling or similar request with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns, or (vi) make or change any Tax elections or (2) change any accounting method or adopt any convention that shifts taxable income to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, solely if and to the extent such action could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification claim against Equityholders under Section 10.02 of this Agreement.

(j)                 No election under Section 336 or Section 338 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) shall be made with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Article 7
Employee Matters

Section 7.01. Employee Matters. (a) For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the 12-month anniversary thereof (or, if shorter, the period of employment), Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, each Company Employee who is employed by the Company on the Closing Date (each, a “Covered Employee”), with base compensation levels,

target annual cash incentive compensation and employee benefits (other than any equity or equity-based compensation, defined benefit pension benefits and retiree medical benefits) that are at least as favorable in the aggregate as the base compensation levels, target cash incentive compensation and employee benefits (other than any equity or equity-based compensation, defined benefit pension benefits and retiree medical benefits) provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries; provided, that maintaining base compensation levels, target annual cash incentive compensation and employee benefits at such Company Employee’s level at Closing shall be deemed to have satisfied this ‎Section 7.01(a).

(b)               With respect to any employee benefit plan of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in which any Covered Employee becomes a participant following the Closing, such employee shall receive full credit for such employee’s service with the Company to the same extent that such service was recognized under an analogous Employee Plan in which such Covered Employee participated as of immediately prior to the Effective Time for vesting and eligibility purposes (but not for benefit accrual purposes); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits.

(c)               In the event that any Covered Employee first becomes eligible to participate in a welfare benefit plan of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time (each, a “Parent Welfare Plan”), Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions exclusions and all waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Covered Employee under any such Parent Welfare Plan to the same extent as such conditions and waiting periods have been waived under the applicable Employee Plans and (ii) credit each Covered Employee for any co-payments, deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses paid prior to the Closing Date under the terms of any corresponding Employee Plan in satisfying any applicable deductible, co-payment or out-of-pocket requirements for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs under such Parent Welfare Plan.

(d)               Nothing in this ‎‎Section 7.01 shall (i) be treated as an amendment of, or undertaking to amend, any Employee Plan, (ii) prohibit Parent or any of its Subsidiaries from amending any Employee Plan, provided, however, that any such amendment shall not conflict with, or prevent the fulfillment of, Parent’s obligations under this ‎Article 7, (iii) require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to continue the employment of any Covered Employee for any period of time or, subject to any applicable arrangement covering such employee, to provide such employee with any payments or benefits upon any termination of such employee’s employment or (iv) confer any rights or benefits on any Person other than the parties to this Agreement.

Article 8
Additional Covenants

Section 8.01. Efforts; Further Assurances. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Acquired Companies will use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken (including, in the case of the Company, by causing the other

Acquired Companies to take), all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable under Applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) determine whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act, (iii) prepare and file as promptly as practicable with any Governmental Authority all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents, or take any other required action and (iv) obtain and maintain all approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the parties hereto understand and agree that neither Parent, Merger Sub nor any of their Affiliates shall be obligated to (and, without Parent’s prior written consent, no Acquired Company shall) (A) enter into any settlement, undertaking, consent decree, hold separate, stipulation or agreement with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) divest, license, dispose of, transfer or otherwise hold separate (including by establishing a trust or otherwise), or take any other action or agree to any undertaking (or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing) with respect to, any of its, any Acquired Company’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ businesses, assets or properties, (C) litigate, challenge, defend or take any action whatsoever with respect to any Action by any Person, including any Governmental Authority or (D) agree to do any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the written request of Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause the other Acquired Companies to, agree to take any of the actions described in the previous sentence to the extent such action is conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing. With respect to the foregoing, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agree to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered (including, in the case of the Company, by causing the other Acquired Companies to execute and deliver), such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly notify the other parties hereto of any written notice from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and reasonably cooperate in responding to such notice.

(b)               To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each of Parent and the Company shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act and shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, any Governmental Authority in connection with such filing or submission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall have the right to control and direct all interactions (including all correspondences, meetings, proposals and negotiations) with Governmental Authorities in connection with all notices, filings, approvals or

clearances sought in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including under the HSR Act and any other applicable antitrust laws.

Section 8.02. Public Announcements; Confidentiality. (a) The parties agree to consult with each other before issuing or making (and the Company agrees to cause the other Acquired Companies to consult with Parent and Merger Sub), and shall mutually agree upon the content and timing of, any press release, announcement to employees, customers or suppliers of the Acquired Companies or other public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except for any press releases and public statements the making of which is or is reasonably believed to be required by Applicable Law or any rules of, or listing agreement with, any national securities exchange (in which case, the party proposing to issue such press release or make such public announcement shall to the extent reasonably permissible under such Applicable Law, rules or listing agreement and reasonably practicable under the circumstances consult in good faith with the other party before issuing any such press release or making any such public announcement), will not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and agreement.

(b)               The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect up to the Effective Time in accordance with its terms (and any information shared under ‎‎Section 5.02 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement) and are incorporated by reference herein. Except as required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, each party hereto shall maintain the confidentiality of the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

(c)               The Equityholders’ Representative acknowledges that the success of the Acquired Companies after the Effective Time depends upon the continued preservation of the confidentiality of information regarding the business, operations and affairs of the Acquired Companies (including trade secrets, confidential information and proprietary materials, which may include the following categories of information and materials: methods, procedures, computer programs and architecture, databases, customer information, lists and identities, employee lists and identities, pricing information, research, methodologies, contractual forms, and other information, whether tangible or intangible, which is not publicly available generally) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) accessed or possessed by the Equityholders’ Representative and its Affiliates and that the preservation of the confidentiality of such information by the Acquired Companies (before the Effective Time), the Equityholders, the Equityholders’ Representative and their respective Affiliates is an essential premise of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Equityholders’ Representative shall hold, and shall cause its Representatives to hold, in confidence and not disclose to any other Person (other than members of the Advisory Group) or use (other than for the purposes of performing the obligations of the Equityholders’ Representative under this Agreement or the Exchange Agent Agreement, or enforcing the rights of the Equityholders’ Representative or the Equityholders under this Agreement, the Exchange Agent Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto), any

Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Person may disclose Confidential Information as and to the extent required by Applicable Law, so long as the disclosing party (x) provides prior written notice thereof to the party whose information will be disclosed and (y) uses commercially reasonable efforts to seek a protective order causing such information so disclosed to be kept confidential.

Section 8.03. Third-Party Notices and Consents. Upon Parent’s request, the Company shall, and shall cause the other Acquired Companies to, use commercially reasonable efforts (including by cooperating with Parent and its Affiliates and Representatives) in connection with the giving of notices of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to any third parties, including pursuant to the Contracts to which any of the Acquired Companies is a party listed on Schedule 8.03(a). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (and the Company shall cause the other Acquired Companies to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts) to obtain the third-party consents, waivers or novations (including under any Contracts) listed on Schedule 8.03(b); provided that in connection with obtaining any such third-party consent, waiver or novation, no Acquired Company will be required to (and, without the written consent of Parent, no Acquired Company shall) make or agree to make more than a de minimis payment (which shall be treated as a Transaction Expense), grant any accommodations or accept any amendment, conditions or obligations.

Section 8.04. Notices of Certain Events. Each of Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall promptly notify the other in writing of the occurrence of any matter or event that would or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in ‎‎Section 9.01 not to be satisfied. The Company shall promptly notify Parent in writing of the occurrence of any matter or event that would or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in ‎‎Section 9.02 not to be satisfied. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the occurrence of any matter or event that would or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in ‎‎Section 9.03 not to be satisfied. The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any written notice or other written communication from any Person asserting that such Person’s consent is required, or that such Person is entitled to compensation or consideration from any of Parent, Merger Sub, any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any notice, letter or other communication received from a Governmental Authority. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this ‎‎Section 8.04 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

Section 8.05. Books and Records. Upon reasonable advance notice, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, give the Equityholders’ Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and without undue interruption of Parent’s or such Affiliate’s business, to all books and records of the Acquired Companies in the possession of Parent or its Affiliates for periods prior to the Closing at reasonable times, and the Equityholders’ Representative shall have the right, at its own expense (on behalf of the Equityholders), to make copies of any such books

and records, to the extent (x) reasonably required by an Equityholder in connection with an action by a Governmental Authority with respect to such Equityholder’s ownership of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock or Company Stock Options prior to the Effective Time, (y) necessary to comply with Applicable Law or (z) related to the defense of a claim made by a third Person (other than Parent or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such access, disclosure or copying shall be permitted (i) for a purpose related to a dispute or potential dispute with Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates, or (ii) if it would result in a loss of any attorney-client privilege, violate any confidentiality agreement or any Applicable Law; provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), Parent, Merger Sub and the Equityholders shall cooperate in good faith to develop substitute arrangements, to the extent reasonably possible, that do not result in the loss of such privilege, breach of such agreement or violation of such Applicable Law.

Section 8.06. Indemnification; D&O Insurance. (a) At or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall purchase a prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or policies (i.e., “tail coverage”) (the “D&O Tail”), which policy or policies shall cover those persons who are currently covered by any Acquired Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or policies on terms with respect to coverage and amount that are no less favorable than those of such policy or policies (and other terms reasonably satisfactory to Parent) for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years from the Closing Date with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Closing, including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent acknowledges that any rights of indemnification, advancement, reimbursement or contribution under Applicable Law, Contract (to the extent disclosed on ‎Section 3.09(a)(x) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) or the charter, bylaws or similar organizational documents of the Acquired Companies of or to any Person who is now, has been at any time prior to the date hereof or becomes prior to or after the Closing an officer, director or employee of the Acquired Companies (each, a “D&O Indemnified Party”), against any and all Damages or Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, the fact that such Person is or was an officer, director or employee of an Acquired Company, and pertaining to any matter existing or occurring, or any acts or omissions occurring, at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing (including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of any Contract or the charter, bylaws or similar organizational documents of the Acquired Companies shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the date hereof in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the date hereof or at any time prior to the date hereof, were D&O Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by Applicable Law. Parent shall cause and the Surviving Company and their respective Subsidiaries shall perform and discharge their obligations to provide such indemnification, advancement, reimbursement or contribution to each such D&O Indemnified Party after the Closing to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(b)               In the event Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective subsidiaries (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective subsidiaries assume the obligations set forth in this ‎‎Section 8.06.

(c)               The terms and provisions of this ‎‎‎Section 8.06 are intended to be enforceable by any of the D&O Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and Representatives, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this ‎‎Section 8.06.

Section 8.07. Registration Statement. (a) (i) Parent shall use its best efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) or Form S-3 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), as applicable, registering the resale of the Underlying Parent Common Shares on or before the date that any Merger Consideration Shares cease to be subject to any Lockup (such applicable date, the “Registration Date”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective and to keep the Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act (in the case of the Shelf Registration Statement, for a period of three (3) years) in order to permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by the Equityholders for the sale of Registrable Securities and (ii) to the extent applicable, Parent shall file promptly after the Registration Date relating to the Shelf Registration Statement a Prospectus supplement naming the Equityholders as selling shareholders (subject to receipt of information reasonably requested by Parent necessary to complete such Prospectus supplement).

(b)               If the continued use of the Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require Parent to make an Adverse Disclosure, Parent may, upon giving prior written notice of such action to the Equityholders’ Representative, suspend use of the Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”), as applicable. In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Equityholders shall, after receiving notice thereof from the Equityholders’ Representative (which shall have a reasonable opportunity after receipt from Parent to provide notice of a Shelf Suspension to the Equityholders), immediately suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, any Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. As promptly as reasonably practicable following a Shelf Suspension, Parent shall supplement or amend such Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement to include the Adverse Disclosure which resulted in such Shelf Suspension. Parent shall notify the Equityholders’ Representative upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension. “Adverse Disclosure” means public disclosure of material non-public information that, in Parent’s good faith judgment, would be required to be made in any registration statement filed with the SEC by Parent because the absence of such disclosure would result in the existence of an untrue statement of material fact or the omission of any fact(s) necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.

(c)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall have any obligation to participate in any due diligence, execute any agreements or certificates or deliver or obtain legal opinions or comfort letters except to the extent necessary to fulfill its obligations under ‎(a) and ‎Section 8.07(b).

(d)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall Parent file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 registering the resale of equity securities of other equityholders of Parent that has the effect of delaying or postponing the filing and/or effectiveness of, or suspending the use of, a Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement.

Section 8.08. Conflict and Privilege. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Equityholders’ Representative or the Equityholders may retain Goodwin Procter LLP (“Counsel”) to act as its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including from and after the Closing). Parent and Merger Sub hereby agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Equityholders’ Representative or the Equityholders, on the other hand, Counsel may represent the Equityholders’ Representative and/or the Equityholders in such dispute even though the interests of the Equityholders’ Representative and/or the Equityholders may be directly adverse to Parent, Merger Sub or the Acquired Companies, and even though Counsel may have represented the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing or may be handling ongoing matters for Parent, Merger Sub or the Acquired Companies. Parent and Merger Sub further agree that, as to all pre-Closing communications among Counsel, the Acquired Companies, the Equityholders’ Representative and the Equityholders that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Equityholders’ Representative and/or the Equityholders (as applicable) and may be controlled by the Equityholders’ Representative and/or the Equityholders and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent, Merger Sub or the Acquired Companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent, Merger Sub or the Acquired Companies and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement) after the Closing, the Acquired Companies may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Counsel to such third party; provided, however, that the Acquired Companies may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Equityholders’ Representative.

Section 8.09. Parent API. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Parent’s and each of its Affiliates’ application programming interfaces to be fully integrated into the Company’s “leads based” verticals as promptly as practicable following the Closing.

Section 8.10. Regulatory Filings. (a) Subject to Parent’s review and approval as set forth in ‎Section 5.12, Parent shall reasonably assist and cooperate with the Company in preparing and filing any and all written communications that are to be submitted to any Governmental Authorities in connection with the Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals, which assistance and cooperation shall include: (i) timely furnishing to the Company all information concerning the Parent Regulatory Persons that is required to be included in the Regulatory

Filings or required by a Governmental Authority; (ii) promptly providing the Company with copies of all written communications to or from any Governmental Authority that is received by Parent relating to any Regulatory Filing or Regulatory Approval; (iii) keeping the Company reasonably informed of any communication received or given by Parent or its Representatives in connection with any Regulatory Filing or Regulatory Approval; and (iv) permitting the Company to review and incorporate the Company’s reasonable comments in any communication given by Parent or its Representatives to any Governmental Authority or in connection with any Regulatory Filing or Regulatory Approval.(a)Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall initiate, or participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority with respect to any filings, applications, investigation, or other inquiry regarding the Merger or filings under any Applicable Law without giving the Company reasonable prior notice of the meeting or discussion and, to the extent permitted by the relevant Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion.

(b)               Parent shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all filing fees under any Applicable Laws (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such fees shall not be deemed Transaction Expenses hereunder).

(c)               Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall initiate, or participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority with respect to any filings, applications, investigation, or other inquiry regarding the Merger or filings under any Applicable Law without giving the Company reasonable prior notice of the meeting or discussion and, to the extent permitted by the relevant Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion.

(d)               Parent shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all filing fees under any Applicable Laws (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such fees shall not be deemed Transaction Expenses hereunder).

The covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith to be performed prior to the Effective Time shall survive until the Expiration Date. The covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith to be performed from or after the Effective Time shall survive until the date that is three years after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentences if requisite written notice pursuant to ‎‎Article 10 of the breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to Parent (if the indemnity is sought against Parent and Merger Sub) or the Equityholders’ Representative (if the indemnity is sought against the Equityholders), as applicable, prior to such time. For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the Equityholders’ Representative as an Indemnifying Party hereunder or comparable designation (including as to incurring or being obligated for any expense or costs) means in its capacity on behalf of the Equityholders and not in its individual capacity and shall not obligate the Equityholders’ Representative to provide any indemnification or otherwise impose any liability on the Equityholders’ Representative.

Section 10.02. Indemnification. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this ‎‎Article 10, effective at and after the Effective Time, each Equityholder (severally and not jointly, in accordance with such Equityholder’s Pro Rata Fully Diluted Share of each of the Damages covered by this ‎‎Section 10.02) hereby indemnifies Parent, Merger Sub, each Acquired Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Company) and each of their respective Subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all damage, loss, Liability, fines, penalties, claims, forfeitures, Actions,

fees, costs and expense (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable documented attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any Action, whether involving a Third-Party Claim or a claim solely between the parties hereto, to enforce the provisions hereof, but excluding punitive damages of any kind, other than punitive damages payable to a third party) (“Damages”), incurred or suffered by the Surviving Company or any other Parent Indemnified Party (regardless of whether such Damages arise as a result of the negligence, strict liability, or other liability under any theory of law or equity of any Person) arising out of or resulting from:

(i)                 any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty (other than a Company Fundamental Representation) made by the Company in this Agreement (determined without regarding to any qualification or exception contained therein relating to materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification or standard) (the “General Claims”); or

(ii)              (A) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Company Fundamental Representation (determined without regard to any qualification or exception contained therein relating to materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification or standard); (B) any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Acquired Companies (at or prior to the Effective Time) pursuant to this Agreement; (C) any inaccuracy in, or claims from any Equityholder related to or arising out of, the Allocation Schedule, including to the extent any Equityholder is entitled to receive any amounts, including any Earnout Payment, in excess of the amounts (as applicable) indicated on the Allocation Schedule and the determination of each Equityholder’s entitlement to any payments under the Transaction Documents; (D) any Tax of any Acquired Company related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period arising from the matters identified in ‎Section 3.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; (E) any demand for appraisal or assertion of dissenter’s rights by any Equityholder or other owner of ownership interests of the Company in connection with the Merger; or (F) Fraud committed by any of the Acquired Companies (at or prior to the Effective Time) (collectively, the “Special Claims”).

Section 10.03. Limitations. (a) With respect to indemnification by the Equityholders under ‎‎Section 10.02(a)(i) for General Claims, the Equityholders shall not be liable (i) for any claim (or series of related claims) for indemnification where the amount of Damages with respect to such claim (or related claims) does not exceed $20,000 and (ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of the Damages exceeds $3,600,000 (the “Deductible”) and then only to the extent of such excess.

(b)               With respect to indemnification by the Equityholders (i) under ‎‎Section 10.02(a)(i) for General Claims (other than with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of any Tax Representation), the Equityholders’ maximum aggregate Liability shall be limited to the Indemnification Escrow Shares and (ii) with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of any Tax Representation, the Equityholders’ maximum aggregate Liability at any time shall be limited to an amount equal to (A) the Indemnification Escrow Amount minus (B) the amount of Payable Claims (other than Payable Claims in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any Tax Representation) that have been satisfied at such time through the cancelation of Indemnification Escrow Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the satisfaction of the Equityholders’ indemnification obligations with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of any Tax Representation shall be included for purposes of determining the Equityholders’maximum aggregate Liability under this Section 10.03(b)(ii)

(c)               With respect to any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent (except in respect of breaches of any Parent Fundamental Representation or claims of Fraud committed by Parent or Merger Sub), Parent’s maximum aggregate Liability shall be limited to $36,000,000.

(d)               In the case of any Damages other than Damages for General Claims, the maximum amount that the Parent Indemnified Parties may recover from each Equityholder shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate consideration received by such Equityholder pursuant to this Agreement (including any portion of the Earnout Shares) (valuing Merger Consideration Shares and Earnout Shares at the Conversion Price) (the “Equityholder Proceeds”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall limit the recovery amount against an Equityholder, or remedies available to a Parent Indemnified Party, for such Equityholder’s Fraud.

(e)               The maximum amount that the Parent Indemnified Parties may recover from each Equityholder under ‎Section 10.02(a)(i) shall be limited to such Equityholder’s Pro Rata Fully Diluted Share of the Indemnification Escrow Amount.

(f)               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Equityholder shall have any indemnification obligations for Damages under this ‎Article 10 (i) with respect to, or based on, Taxes relating to a breach of any Tax Representation to the extent that such Taxes are attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period, except with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty contained in ‎Section 3.10(g), ‎Section 3.10(k), ‎Section 3.10(l), or ‎Section 3.10(m), or

(ii) to the extent such Damages would not have arisen but for a breach of Parent’s (or the Acquired Companies’ and their respective Affiliates) obligations under ‎Section 6.01(i) or ‎6.01(j).

Section 10.04. Third-Party Claim Procedures. (a) The party seeking indemnification under ‎‎Section 10.02 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action (“Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under ‎‎Section 10.02. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b)               The Indemnifying Party (or the Equityholders’ Representative in the case of an indemnification claim pursuant to ‎‎Section 10.02) shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Claim asserted by any third party (“Third-Party Claim”) and, subject to the limitations set forth in this ‎‎Section 10.04, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case, at its own expense.

(c)               If the Indemnifying Party desires to assume the control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this ‎‎Section 10.04, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days after the Indemnified Party has given written notice to the Indemnifying Party of the Third-Party Claim. If such notice is timely given, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense so long as (i) the Third-Party Claim involves only a claim for monetary damages and not any claim for an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than monetary damages against any Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party timely provides the Indemnified Party with (x) evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have adequate financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and (y) a statement that, based on the facts set forth in the notice required by ‎‎Section 10.04, the Indemnifying Party would have an indemnity obligation for the Damages resulting from such Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the Third-Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with any criminal or regulatory Action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim if, in the case of a Parent Indemnified Party, the amount of the Third-Party Claim, if determined in accordance with the claimant’s demands, would reasonably be expected to result in Damages, together with all other unresolved claims for indemnification by the Parent Indemnified Parties, that would not be available for recovery from the Indemnification Escrow Shares.

(d)               If the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third-Party Claim; provided that the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party

Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms (i) obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the Damages in connection with such Third-Party Claim, (ii) does not impose injunctive or equitable relief or require an admission of liability or wrongdoing on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates and (iii) contains a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all Damages and obligations with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(e)               If the Indemnifying Party does not timely deliver the notice contemplated by ‎‎Section 10.04(a), or if such notice is given on a timely basis but any of the other conditions in this ‎‎Section 10.04 are unsatisfied, the Indemnified Party may defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this ‎‎Section 10.04 to the contrary, whether or not the Indemnifying Party controls the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Indemnified Party may admit liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent so long as the Indemnified Party releases, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnifying Party, any claims to indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this ‎‎Article 10.

(f)               In circumstances where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party after such time as the Indemnifying Party assumed control pursuant to ‎‎Section 10.04(b) shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third-Party Claim or during any period in which the Indemnifying Party ceases to be eligible to maintain control of the defense of the Third-Party Claim, in either case as provided in this ‎‎Section 10.04, (ii) if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest (including if any counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party requests a conflict wavier or other waiver from the Indemnified Party with respect to such matter) or (iii) there may be one or more defenses or claims available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and that could be adverse to the Indemnifying Party.

(g)                Each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate, and cause its respective controlled Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim and shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 10.05. Direct Claims for Indemnification; Resolution of Conflicts. (a) In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity pursuant to this ‎‎Article 10 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnified Party may seek recovery of Damages pursuant to this ‎‎Article 10 by delivering to the Indemnifying Party (or, in the case of any claim against the Equityholders, the Equityholders’ Representative) a Claim Certificate in respect of such claim. The date of such delivery of a Claim Certificate is referred to herein as the “Claim Date” of such Claim Certificate (and the claims for indemnification contained therein). For purposes hereof, “Claim Certificate” means a certificate signed by any officer of an Indemnified Party (or, in the case of an Indemnified Party who is an individual, signed by such individual, or, in the case of an Indemnified Party who is an Equityholder, the Equityholders’ Representative): (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, sustained, or accrued, or reasonably anticipates that will have to pay, sustain, incur or accrue Damages and including, to the extent reasonably practicable, a non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amounts of such Damages and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, sustained, incurred, or accrued, or the basis for such anticipated Damages, and the nature of the indemnifiable matter to which such item is related; provided that the Claim Certificate need only specify such information to the knowledge of such Person as of the Claim Date, shall not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Party, and may be updated and amended from time to time by the Indemnified Party by delivering an updated or amended Claim Certificate to the Indemnifying Party.

(b)               The Indemnifying Party (or, in the case of a claim against the Equityholders, the Equityholders’ Representative) may object to a claim for indemnification set forth in a Claim Certificate by delivering to the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification a written statement of objection to the claim made in the Claim Certificate (an “Objection Notice”); provided that, to be effective, such Objection Notice must (A) be delivered to the Indemnified Party prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Claim Date of the Claim Certificate (such deadline, the “Objection Deadline” for such Claim Certificate and the claims for indemnification contained therein) and (B) set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the claims in respect of which the objection is made.

(c)               To the extent the Indemnifying Party does not object in writing (as provided in ‎‎Section 10.05(b)) to the claims contained in a Claim Certificate prior to the Objection Deadline for such Claim Certificate, such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claims for Damages set forth in such Claim Certificate (and such entitlement shall be conclusively and irrefutably established) (any such claim, an “Unobjected Claim”).

Section 10.06. Resolution of Conflicts. (a) In case the Indemnifying Party timely delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with ‎‎Section 10.05(b) hereof, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties reach an agreement, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and

signed by all applicable parties (any claims covered by such an agreement, “Settled Claims”). If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties are unable to reach an agreement, the matter specified in the Objection Claim shall be resolved in any court having jurisdiction over the matter where venue is proper pursuant to ‎‎Section 13.07 (any claims resolved by such adjudication, “Resolved Claims”).

(b)               A “Payable Claim” means a claim for indemnification of Damages under this ‎Article 10, to the extent that such claim has not yet been satisfied by payment to the Indemnified Party, that is (i) a Resolved Claim, (ii) a Settled Claim, or (iii) an Unobjected Claim. An “Unresolved Claim” means any claim for indemnification of Damages under this ‎Article 10 specified in any Claim Certificate delivered pursuant to ‎‎Section 10.05(a), to the extent that such claim is not a Payable Claim that has been satisfied by payment to the Indemnified Party.

Section 10.07. Calculation of Damages. (a) The amount of any Damages payable under ‎‎Section 10.02 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies (net of any costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof, including deductibles, and applicable premium adjustments). Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage, including under the D&O Tail, for any Damages payable under this ‎‎Article 10. If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such indemnification payment made by such Indemnifying Party up to the lesser of (i) the amount received by the Indemnified Party under such insurance policies (net of any costs of recovery, including any resulting from increased insurance premium charges) and (ii) the indemnification payment made by the Indemnifying Party.

(b)               The amount of any Damages subject to indemnification hereunder shall be calculated taking into account any Loss Tax Consequences inuring to any Indemnified Party attributable to such Damages or the indemnification payment in respect thereof.

(c)               The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under ‎‎Section 10.02 for any Damages relating to any matter to the extent that the Indemnified Party has recovered such Damages pursuant to this Agreement, even if such Damages are subject to indemnification under more than one provision of this Agreement.

(d)               Each Equityholder hereby agrees that (i) the availability of indemnification of the Parent Indemnified Parties under this ‎‎Article 10 shall be determined without regard to any right to indemnification, advancement, contribution or reimbursement that such Equityholder may have from any Acquired Company (whether such rights may arise from or pursuant to Applicable Law, Contract, the Governing Documents of any Acquired Company or otherwise), and (ii) such Equityholder shall not be entitled to any indemnification, advancement, contribution or reimbursement from Parent, any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates for amounts for which Parent Indemnified Parties would be entitled to indemnification

under this ‎‎Article 10 (determined without regard to any thresholds, deductibles, caps, survival periods or other limitations).

Section 10.08. Characterization of Indemnification Payments. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any amount paid pursuant to this ‎‎Article 10 shall be treated for Tax purposes as adjustments to the Merger Consideration, Warrant Consideration and Option Consideration.

Section 10.09. Mitigation. Parent, the Surviving Company, the Equityholders, and the Equityholders’ Representative shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim for Damages hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim for Damages as required by Applicable Law; provided, however, that no party shall be required to make such efforts if they would be detrimental in any material respect to such party.

Section 10.10. Indemnification Escrow Shares; Recovery of Losses.

(a)               On the date any indemnification claim against the Equityholders pursuant to ‎‎Section 10.02(a) becomes a Payable Claim, payment of the amount of such Payable Claim shall be made to the Parent Indemnified Parties as follows:

(i)                 for so long as there remain any Indemnification Escrow Shares, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall first recover from the Equityholders for any Payable Claims by cancelling for no consideration a number of Indemnification Escrow Shares with a value equal to the amount of indemnifiable Damages (valuing the Indemnification Escrow Shares based on the Agreed Valuation Price and applying such cancellation pro rata to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Indemnification Escrow Shares (rounding up to the nearest whole share), but disregarding, for such purposes, the exercise price of any Assumed Stock Option that is an Indemnification Escrow Share); and

(ii)              to the extent there do not remain any Indemnification Escrow Shares, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover Damages that are indemnifiable pursuant to ‎‎Section 10.02(a)(ii) for Special Claims, (1) first, as applicable (A) by permanently reducing and setting-off against any Earnout Shares due and payable to the Equityholders or (B) by cancelling for no consideration any Earnout Shares previously delivered to Equityholders (in each case, valuing any such Earnout Shares at the Agreed Valuation Price), (2) second, by cancelling for no consideration any Merger Consideration Shares or Assumed Stock Options (for the avoidance of doubt, not limited to Indemnification Escrow Shares or former Indemnification Escrow Shares) (valuing such any Merger Consideration Shares or Assumed Stock Options at the Agreed Valuation Price, but disregarding, for such purposes, the exercise price of such Assumed Stock Options) and (3) third, to the extent that any Equityholder does not have any Merger Consideration Shares, Assumed Stock Options or Earnout Shares with a value sufficient to satisfy such Damages (based on the Agreed Valuation Price), in cash directly from such Equityholder, in any case in accordance with its Pro Rata Fully Diluted Share.

(b)               At the Expiration Date, if and to the extent the value of the Indemnification Escrow Shares (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any Indemnification Escrow Shares that have previously been cancelled to satisfy any Payable Claims and valuing the Indemnification Escrow Shares based on the Conversion Price, but disregarding, for such purposes, the exercise price of any Assumed Stock Option that is an Indemnification Escrow Share) exceeds the aggregate amount of Unresolved Claims of all Parent Indemnified Parties, then such excess Indemnification Escrow Shares shall cease to be “Indemnification Escrow Shares” for all purposes hereof (applied on a pro rata basis among the Equityholders in accordance with their respective numbers of Indemnification Escrow Shares).

(c)               From and after the Expiration Date, as each Unresolved Claim of any Parent Indemnified Party becomes resolved as either a Payable Claim or a claim that is not a Payable Claim (i) if and to the extent such Unresolved Claim has been resolved as a Payable Claim, then the Parent Indemnified Parties shall recover for such Payable Claim by cancelling a number of Indemnification Escrow Shares with a value equal to the amount of such Payable Claim (valuing the Indemnification Escrow Shares based on the Agreed Valuation Price, but disregarding, for such purposes, the exercise price of any Assumed Stock Option that is an Indemnification Escrow Share) (and, to the extent such cancelled Indemnification Escrow Shares are insufficient to cover the amount of such Payable Claim, the Parent Indemnified Parties may recover the excess in accordance with, and if permitted by, ‎Section 10.10(a)) and (ii) if and to the extent such Unresolved Claim has been resolved as not a Payable Claim and, as a result the value of the remaining Indemnification Escrow Shares (valuing the Indemnification Escrow Shares based on the Conversion Price) exceeds the value of the remaining Unresolved Claims of all Parent Indemnified Parties, such excess Indemnification Escrow Shares shall cease to be “Indemnification Escrow Shares” for all purposes hereof (applied on a pro rata basis among the Equityholders in accordance with their respective numbers of Indemnification Escrow Shares) and (iii) if there are no Unresolved Claims remaining, then all remaining Indemnification Escrow Shares shall cease to be “Indemnification Escrow Shares” for all purposes hereof.

(d)               If any dividends or distributions are paid on any Indemnification Escrow Shares, such dividends or distributions will be retained by Parent and, if such Indemnification Escrow Shares cease to be Indemnification Escrow Shares, will be released to the Equityholders on the date of such cessation and otherwise will be retained by Parent if the Indemnification Escrow Shares are forfeited for no consideration.

(e)               On the date any indemnification claim against Parent pursuant to ‎‎Section 10.02(b) becomes a Payable Claim, payment of the amount of such Payable Claim shall be made to the Equityholder Indemnified Parties by Parent issuing to the Equityholder Indemnified Parties an aggregate number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock with a value equal to the indemnifiable Damages (valuing such shares of Parent Preferred Stock at the Agreed Valuation Price).

Section 10.11. Exclusivity of Remedy. Without limiting any party’s rights (x) under any other Transaction Document or any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement or (y) with respect to claims for Fraud against the Person (other than the Company)

committing such Fraud, except for in connection with the matters covered under ‎Section 2.10 (which matters will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in ‎Section 2.10) or ‎‎Section 6.01, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Effective Time, the indemnification provisions in this ‎‎‎Article 10 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of any party with respect to any and all claims arising out of breaches of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

Article 11
Equityholders’ Representative

Section 11.01. Equityholders’ Representative. (a) By virtue of the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Required Equityholder Vote, the delivery of the Written Consent and each Letter of Transmittal and acceptance of the Per Share Closing Cash Consideration and Per Share Closing Equity Consideration payable at Closing hereunder, and without further action of any Equityholder or the Company, each Equityholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably constituted and appointed and hereby does irrevocably constitute and appoint Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (which, by execution of this Agreement, hereby accepts such appointment) to act as the Equityholders’ Representative and as the sole and exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Equityholders (in their capacity as such), with full power of substitution, to execute and take all other actions on behalf of the Equityholders in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and any agreement executed by the Equityholders’ Representative with the Exchange Agent, including (i) to execute and deliver on behalf of the Equityholders any amendment, consent or waiver under this Agreement, (ii) to assert, and to agree to resolution of, all claims and disputes hereunder or thereunder, including under ‎Section 2.10 and ‎‎‎Article 10 hereof, (iii) to retain legal counsel and other professional services in connection with the performance by the Equityholders’ Representative of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (iv) to execute and deliver on the Equityholders’ behalf all documents and instruments which may be executed and delivered after the Closing pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (v) to make and receive notices and other communications pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and service of process in any Action arising out of or related to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (vi) to negotiate, settle or compromise any Action arising out of or related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any of the transactions hereunder or thereunder, including to take any action (or determine not to take action) in connection with the defense, prosecution, settlement, compromise or other resolution of any claim for indemnification pursuant to ‎‎Article 10 (other than any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article 10 brought against any Equityholder if such Equityholder elects to defend against such claim), and (vii) to do or refrain from doing each and every act and exercise or refrain from exercising all rights that are either (x) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Equityholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (y) mandated or permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, in each case as determined by the Equityholders’ Representative in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Equityholders’ Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Equityholders, except as expressly provided herein, the

Exchange Agent Agreement and in the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement, and, for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Equityholders’ Representative in any other agreement, any Schedule or Exhibit hereto and thereto, or the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b)               The power of attorney granted in this ‎‎Article 11 and the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Equityholders’ Representative Group hereunder (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, may be delegated by the Equityholders’ Representative, shall survive the bankruptcy, death or incapacity of each Equityholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Equityholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Expense Fund or any other consideration to be received by such Equityholder hereunder. The Equityholders’ Representative may resign at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to Parent and the Equityholders. Such agency may be changed, and, if the Equityholders’ Representative resigns or is otherwise incapable of fulfilling its duties hereunder or under the Exchange Agent Agreement, such agency shall be changed, by a majority of the Equityholders (as determined by their respective Pro Rata Fully Diluted Shares) as of such time (including in the event of the resignation, death, disability or other incapacity of an Equityholders’ Representative that is an individual), and, following the provision of notice to Parent, the newly appointed representative shall be the Equityholders’ Representative for all purposes hereunder, and any such successor shall succeed the Equityholders’ Representative as the Equityholders’ Representative hereunder. In case of termination of Equityholders’ Representative’s role at any time and for any reason, the Equityholders shall elect and appoint, no later than 30 days following the effective date of such termination, a successor Equityholders’ Representative. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Equityholders’ Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Exchange Agent Agreement. Neither the removal of, nor the appointment of a successor to, the Equityholders’ Representative shall affect in any manner the validity or enforceability of any actions taken or agreements, understandings or commitments entered into by the prior Equityholders’ Representative, which shall continue to be effective and binding on the Equityholders. For the avoidance of doubt, any compromise or settlement of any matter by the Equityholders’ Representative hereunder shall be binding on, and fully enforceable against, all Equityholders. No bond shall be required of the Equityholders’ Representative, and the Equityholders’ Representative shall not receive any compensation for its services except in accordance with the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement.

(c)               A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Equityholders’ Representative hereunder, under the Exchange Agent Agreement or under the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement shall constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of all of the Equityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Equityholders and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each such Equityholder, and all defenses which may be available to any Equityholder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Equityholders’ Representative taken under this Agreement, the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement or the Exchange Agent Agreement are waived. The

Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Equityholders’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Equityholder. The Parent Indemnified Parties are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Equityholders’ Representative. Each Equityholder hereby agrees that for any Action arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document after the Closing Date such Equityholder may be served legal process to the email address set forth in ‎‎Section 13.01 for the Equityholders’ Representative (or any alternative address designated to the parties in writing by the Equityholders’ Representative), and that service in such manner shall be adequate and such Equityholder shall not assert any defense of claim that service in such manner was not adequate or sufficient in any court in any jurisdiction. Each Equityholder shall promptly provide written notice to the Equityholders’ Representative of any change of address or other contact information of such Equityholder.

(d)               Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of ‎‎‎Article 10, if any Equityholder Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification as the Indemnified Party hereunder, or indemnification is sought against any Equityholder as an Indemnifying Party hereunder, then, in either such case, the Equityholders’ Representative shall act on behalf of, and receive notice on behalf of, such Equityholder, provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Equityholders’ Representative to provide any indemnification or otherwise impose any liability on the Equityholders’ Representative.

(e)               The Equityholders’ Representative, solely in its capacity as the representative of the Equityholders, represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

(i)                 the Equityholders’ Representative is duly organized, validly existing and (where applicable, based on the Equityholders’ Representative’s jurisdiction of organization) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and has all requisite limited liability company power and authority and all permits required to carry on its business in all material respects as currently conducted;

(ii)              the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Equityholders’ Representative, and the performance by the Equityholders’ Representative of its obligations hereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Equityholders’ Representative;

(iii)            this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Equityholders’ Representative and this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Equityholders’ Representative, enforceable against the Equityholders’ Representative in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity); and

(iv)             the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is (or will be) a party by the Equityholders’ Representative, and the performance by the Equityholders’ Representative of its obligations thereunder do not and will not (A) conflict with or result in a violation of the Governing Documents of the Equityholders’ Representative, (B) violate any Applicable Law with respect to the Equityholders’ Representative or (C) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person under any Contract binding upon the Equityholders’ Representative.

(f)               Each Equityholder, by its acceptance of the Per Share Closing Cash Consideration and Per Share Closing Equity Consideration payable at Closing hereunder, accepts and agrees to be bound by the provisions set forth in this ‎‎Article 11.

(g)                Certain Equityholders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Equityholders’ Representative to provide direction to the Equityholders’ Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Exchange Agent Agreement and the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement (such Equityholders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Equityholders’ Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Equityholders’ Representative Group”), shall be liable to any Equityholder for any action or failure to act in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Equityholders’ Representative’s responsibilities hereunder, under the Exchange Agent Agreement or under the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement, unless and only to the extent such action or failure to act constitutes gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The Equityholders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Equityholders’ Representative Group from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and costs of outside counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Equityholders’ Representative Expenses”) incurred without gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Equityholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, under the Exchange Agent Agreement or under the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement. Such Equityholders’ Representative Expenses may be recovered first, from the Expense Fund, second, from any distribution of amounts otherwise distributable to the Equityholders at the time of distribution, and third, directly from the Equityholders. The Equityholders acknowledge that the Equityholders’ Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, the Exchange Agent Agreement, the Equityholders’ Representative Engagement Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Equityholders’ Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Equityholders’ Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect

the Equityholders’ Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Equityholders’ Representative in performing such actions. The Equityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Allocation Schedule, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Equityholder or other party.
