At or prior to the Effective Time, the Parent Entities shall have deposited, or shall cause to have been deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in an amount that, when taken together with the amounts deposited by the Company pursuant to the eighth sentence of this Section 3.04(a), is sufficient to pay the Company Merger Consideration, the Manager Merger Consideration, the OpCo Merger Consideration (including for this purpose, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts owing in respect of the Company Purchased OpCo Membership Interests in accordance with Section 3.03(a)) and the OpCo Profits Units Merger Consideration (including for this purpose, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts owing in respect of the Company Purchased OpCo Profits Units in accordance with Section 3.03(b)) required to be paid pursuant to this Article III (excluding the Deferred Payments and any Merger Consideration that would have otherwise been payable in respect of Dissenting Shares had such Shares not been Dissenting Shares) (such cash being deposited with the Paying Agent is hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by the Parent Entities; provided, however, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, in commercial paper obligations rated the highest quality by either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank which are then publicly available), or a combination of the foregoing. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be payable to the Surviving Company. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Payment Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt payments of the Company Merger Consideration, the Manager Merger Consideration, the OpCo Merger Consideration and the OpCo Profits Units Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, the Parent Entities shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Payment Fund lost through investments or other events so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments. All fees and expenses of the Paying Agent shall be borne by the Parent Entities or the Surviving Company. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company Entities shall have deposited, or cause to be deposited, in the Payment Fund an amount equal to the amount received by the Company Entities pursuant to the consummation of the distributions pursuant to Section 7.15. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Parent Entities shall have deposited, or shall cause to have been deposited, with OpCo, for the benefit of the holders of Company Equity Awards and Phantom Unit Holders, in cash in an amount sufficient for the OpCo, together with available cash at OpCo and its Affiliates, to pay the aggregate Option Consideration, the aggregate RSU/PSU Payments (solely with respect to Vested Company RSUs and Vested Company PSUs

as of the Effective Time) and the aggregate Phantom Unit Payments (other than the Deferred Phantom Unit Payments) in accordance with this Agreement, in each case, together with any employer-paid payroll or similar Taxes related thereto (such cash being deposited with OpCo is hereinafter referred to as the “Compensatory Award Fund”). The Compensatory Award Fund shall not be used for any other purposes.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in no event later than two Business Days thereafter), the Parent Entities shall cause to be mailed (i) to each Person who was, at the Company Merger Effective Time, the Manager Merger Effective Time or the OpCo Merger Effective Time, as applicable, a Holder of Shares represented by book-entry, Manager Membership Interests, OpCo Membership Interests or OpCo Profits Units, as applicable (collectively, the “Book-Entry Securities”), instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Book-Entry Securities in exchange for the Merger Consideration to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to this Article III (other than any Deferred Payments) and (ii) to the extent any Certificates are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, to each Holder who was, at the Company Merger Effective Time, a holder of record of a certificate or certificates (“Certificates”) that represented any Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, a form of letter of transmittal (which (A) shall specify that delivery of a Certificate shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificate to the Paying Agent and (B) shall be in such form and have such other customary provisions as the Surviving Company may specify), together with instructions thereto, setting forth, inter alia, the procedures by which holders of Certificates may surrender such Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article III. If payment of the applicable Merger Consideration in respect of any Shares represented by Certificates is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name a Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition of payment of the Company Merger Consideration that (w) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (x) the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required solely by reason of the payment of such Company Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Parent Entities that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Book-Entry Securities that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company Entities, payment of the applicable Merger Consideration (other than any Deferred Payments) may be made to a Holder other than the Person in whose name the Book-Entry Security is registered if (y) all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer or otherwise be in proper form for transfer are presented to the Paying Agent and (z) the Holder requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required solely by reason of the payment of such Merger Consideration (other than any Deferred Payments) to a Person other than the registered holder of such Book-Entry Security or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Parent Entities that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.04, each Book-Entry Security and Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration (other than any Deferred Payments) to which the holder of such Book-Entry Security or Certificate is entitled pursuant to this Article III. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Book-Entry Securities or Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article III. Each Holder that is a registered holder of one or more Book-Entry Securities

shall, upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably require), be entitled to receive, and the Parent Entities shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such agent’s message (or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably require), the Merger Consideration (other than any Deferred Payments) for each Book-Entry Security. Each Holder that is a holder of one or more Certificates shall, upon completion of such applicable procedures by such holder and the surrender of such holder’s Certificate, be entitled to receive, and the Parent Entities shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as soon as reasonably practicable after the completion of such procedures, the Merger Consideration (other than any Deferred Payments) for each Share represented by such Certificates. Upon the payment and delivery of the applicable Merger Consideration (other than any Deferred Payments) with respect to a Certificate or Book-Entry Security, such Certificate or Book-Entry Security shall forthwith be canceled. Prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, the Parent Entities and the Company Entities shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Paying Agent and the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) with the objective that the Paying Agent shall transmit to DTC or its nominee on the Closing Date an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to (X) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares, Rollover Shares and any Dissenting Shares) held of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time multiplied by (Y) the Company Merger Consideration.

(c) No Further Rights. From and after the Company Merger Effective Time, holders of Shares shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, except as provided herein or by Law, including the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in accordance with this Article III. From and after the Manager Merger Effective Time, holders of Manager Membership Interests shall cease to have any rights as equityholders of Manager, except as provided herein or by Law, including the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in accordance with this Article III. From and after the OpCo Merger Effective Time, holders of OpCo Membership Interests shall cease to have any rights as equityholders or OpCo, except as provided herein or by Law, including the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in accordance with this Article III.

(b) The Company shall prepare and, after approval by the Parent Entities (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), file (with the assistance and cooperation of the Parent Entities and the Merger Subs as reasonably requested by the Company) with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained pursuant to the Written Consent, a written information statement of the type contemplated by Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act containing (i) the information specified in Schedule 14C under the Exchange Act concerning the Written Consent and the Mergers, (ii) the notice of action by written consent required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL and (iii) the notice of availability of appraisal rights and related disclosure required by Section 262 of the DGCL (including any amendment or supplement thereto or any additional filing required in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.01(c), the “Information Statement”).

(c) The Company and the Parent Entities shall cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, to, concurrently with the preparation and filing of the Information Statement, jointly prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, a Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13e-3 (such transaction statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the “Schedule 13e-3”) relating to the Transactions.

(d) Each of the Company, the Parent Entities and Merger Subs shall provide the other party and their respective outside legal counsel and other Representatives a reasonable opportunity to participate in any discussions or meetings with the SEC (or portions of any such discussions or meetings) that relate to the Information Statement or the Schedule 13e-3. Each party hereto shall promptly notify the other parties of the receipt of any comments from the SEC with respect to the Information Statement or the Schedule 13e-3 and of any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement thereto or for additional information and shall promptly provide to the other parties copies of all correspondence between such party or any of its Representatives and the SEC with respect to the Information Statement and the Schedule 13e-3.

(e) The Company agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that the Information Statement will comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act. The Company and the Parent Entities agree, as to themselves and their Affiliates, that the Schedule 13e-3 will comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act. The Company, the Parent Entities and the Merger Subs shall ensure that none of the information supplied by it for inclusion in the Information Statement or the Schedule 13e-3 will, at the date of mailing (including by electronic delivery if permitted) to stockholders of the Company, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Parent Entities shall provide the Company with such information concerning themselves and their Affiliates as is customarily included in an information statement or Schedule 13e-3 prepared in connection with a transaction of the type contemplated by this Agreement or as otherwise required by Law, requested by the SEC or its staff, or as the Company may reasonably request, in each case, sufficiently in advance of the mailing of the Information Statement or the filing of the Schedule 13e-3. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.01 to the contrary, the Company assumes no responsibility with respect to information supplied in writing by or on behalf of the Parent Entities, its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Information Statement or the Schedule 13e-3.

(f) If any information relating to the Company or the Parent Entities, or any of their respective Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives, should be discovered by a party hereto, which information should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Information Statement or the Schedule 13e-3 so that the Information Statement or the Schedule 13e-3, as

applicable, would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall as promptly as practicable following such discovery notify the other party or parties (as the case may be) and after such notification, as and to the extent required by applicable Law, (i) (A) the Company shall promptly prepare (with the assistance and approval of the Parent Entities as provided for in this Section 7.01) an amendment or supplement to the Information Statement or (B) the Company and the Parent Entities shall promptly prepare an amendment or supplement to the Schedule 13e-3 and (ii) the Company shall cause the Information Statement or the Schedule 13e-3, as applicable, as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to its stockholders.

7.02 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Except (i) as otherwise prohibited by applicable Law or the terms of any Contract or (ii) as would be reasonably expected to result in the loss of any attorney-client, attorney work product, or other legal privilege (provided, that the Company Entities shall use reasonable best efforts to allow the disclosure of such information (or as much of it as reasonably possible) in a manner that does not, in the case of clause (i), result in a violation of Law or the terms of any Contract (and so long as the Company Entities have used, or has caused the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, to use, reasonable best efforts to obtain a waiver with respect to such violation of Contract), or, in the case of clause (ii), result in a loss of attorney-client attorney work product or other legal privilege), during the Pre-Closing Period, subject to the restrictions or limitations as are reasonable in response to any Pandemic, including the adoption of any Pandemic Measures, the Company Entities shall and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to, solely for purposes that are, in good faith, related to the consummation of the Mergers (or the financing of the Transactions) or the post-Closing operations, financing or integration of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries with the Parent Entities and their Affiliates, and at the Parent Entities’ expense: (x) provide to the Parent Entities and their respective Representatives (including Debt Financing Sources and Preferred Equity Investors) reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to the Company Entities by the Parent Entities, to the officers, employees, properties and offices and other facilities of the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries, and to the material books and records thereof and (y) furnish promptly to the Parent Entities such information concerning the business, properties, Contracts, assets, liabilities and personnel of the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries as the Parent Entities or their respective Representatives may reasonably request. In the event that the Company Entities or the Company Subsidiaries are withholding access or information requested by the Parent Entities or their respective Representatives in accordance with clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 7.02, the Company Entities shall give notice to the Parent Entities of such fact, shall use reasonable best efforts to effect reasonable substitute virtual access or disclosure arrangements. Nothing in this Section 7.02 shall be construed to require the Company Entities, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to provide (I) any of the foregoing information to the extent related to the negotiation of this Agreement or, except as expressly set forth in Section 7.03, any Acquisition Proposal or any

deliberation of the Executive Committee or the Special Committee regarding any Acquisition Proposal or Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable or (II) any opinion to the Parent Entities. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 7.02 shall be conducted in a manner that does not (A) unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries or otherwise result in any significant interference with the prompt and timely discharge by officers, employees and other authorized Representatives of the Company Entities or the Company Subsidiaries of their normal duties or (B) create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company Entities or the Company Subsidiaries. Any access to the properties of the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries will be subject to such Company Entity’s or Company Subsidiary’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements. All requests for access pursuant to this Section 7.02 must be directed to specified Representatives of the Company Entities from time to time.

(b) All information obtained by the Parent Entities, the Merger Subs or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Article VII shall be kept confidential in accordance with the amended and restated mutual nondisclosure agreement, dated November 2, 2023 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between Silver Lake Technology Management, L.L.C. and the Company.

7.03 No Solicitation.

(a) From and after the execution of this Agreement and for the remainder of the Pre-Closing Period, the Company Entities shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives, and shall instruct (and use its reasonable best efforts to cause) their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations that may be ongoing with any Person or its Representatives with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, and shall promptly request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished in connection therewith and immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives. The Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries shall not modify, amend, terminate, waive, release, or fail to enforce any provisions of any confidentiality agreement or any standstill provisions of any confidentiality agreement (or any similar provisions in any agreement) to which a Company Entity or any of the Company Subsidiaries is a party relating to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Company’s receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries shall be permitted to modify, amend, terminate, waive, release or fail to enforce any provisions of any such confidentiality agreement or standstill provisions (or similar or related provisions or agreement), if the Executive Committee (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee shall have determined (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the applicable directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(b) Except as permitted by this Section 7.03, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company Entities agree that they will not, and will cause each Company Subsidiary to not, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries with respect to or which would reasonably be expected to lead to the submission of, any Acquisition Proposal,

(ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information in connection with, any Acquisition Proposal, except to notify such Person of the existence of this Section 7.03(b), (iii) except for an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal or that would require the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Mergers (each, an “Acquisition Agreement”); (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; or (v) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing; provided, that, if, prior to the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Company’s receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 7.03 and the Executive Committee (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal and a failure to take the actions contemplated by the following clauses (A) or (B) would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the applicable directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives may, prior to the Company’s receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, (A) engage in discussions or negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal (or contact such Person to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and otherwise facilitate such Acquisition Proposal or assist such Person and such Person’s Representatives and financing sources) and (B) furnish information to, or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or personnel, of the Company Entities or any Company Subsidiary, in each case, with the Person making or renewing such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives, so long as the Company and such Person have executed an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that (x) any such information or access has previously been made available to the Parent Entities or shall be made available to the Parent Entities prior to, or substantially concurrently with, the time such information is made available to such Person and (y) any competitively sensitive information or data provided to any such Person who is, or whose Affiliates include, a direct competitor, supplier or customer of a Company Entity or any Company Subsidiary will be provided in a separate “clean data room” and subject to customary “clean team” arrangements regarding access to such information or data, as reasonably determined by the Company and the Special Committee, each with advice from its outside legal counsel.

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX, the Company Entities shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, notify the Parent Entities of the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal received by the Company Entities, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates, and the identity of the Person or “group” making such Acquisition Proposal and shall provide the Parent Entities with unredacted copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (or where no such copies are available, a reasonably detailed written description thereof). From and after the date of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX, the Company Entities shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates to, keep the Parent Entities reasonably informed of the status and terms

of, and material changes in, any such Acquisition Proposal. Prior to the Company’s receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours), following a determination by the Executive Committee (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal to the extent the Executive Committee or the Special Committee is permitted to do so pursuant to this Section 7.03, notify the Parent Entities of such determination in writing (and, for the avoidance of doubt, following the Company’s receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company, the Executive Committee or the Special Committee shall have no right to make such a determination).

(d) Except as permitted by this Section 7.03, the Executive Committee and each committee of the Executive Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company (including the Special Committee) shall not, and shall not publicly propose to: (i) (A) withdraw or adversely qualify (or modify or amend in a manner adverse to the Parent Entities or the Merger Subs) the Executive Committee Recommendation or the Special Committee Recommendation; (B) authorize, approve, adopt or recommend, or declare the advisability of, any Acquisition Proposal; or (C) take any action or make any recommendation or public statement in connection with any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer other than an unequivocal recommendation against such offer or a temporary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Executive Committee or the Special Committee of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act in which the Executive Committee, the Special Committee or the Company indicates that the Executive Committee Recommendation or the Special Committee Recommendation, as applicable, has not changed (any of the foregoing actions, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) cause or permit the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to enter into any Acquisition Agreement or otherwise resolve or agree to do so.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Company’s receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if in response to an Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that has not been withdrawn and that did not result from a material breach of this Section 7.03, the Executive Committee (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith (in each case, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, then (i) the Executive Committee (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee may make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) only in the case of such a determination by the Executive Committee (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee, the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(e)(ii) in order to enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(e)(ii) unless the Company prior to, or concurrently with, such termination, pays, or causes to be paid, to the Parent Entities the Company Termination Fee.

(f) Prior to effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change to the extent permitted by Section 7.03(e) with respect to a Superior Proposal or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(e)(ii) in order to enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal to the extent permitted by Section 7.03(e) and Section 9.01(e)(ii), (i) the

Company shall notify the Parent Entities in writing that the Executive Committee or the Special Committee intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(e)(ii) (it being understood that the delivery of such notice and the resolution to send such notice shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), as applicable, (ii) the Company shall provide the Parent Entities a summary of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the Person or “group” making the Superior Proposal) and an unredacted copy of the Acquisition Agreement, (iii) if requested to do so by the Parent Entities, for a period of four Business Days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall discuss and negotiate in good faith, and shall make its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate, with the Parent Entities and their respective Representatives, any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in such a manner that would obviate the need to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(e)(ii), as applicable, and (iv) no earlier than the end of such four Business Day period, the Executive Committee (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee shall determine in good faith, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by the Parent Entities during such four Business Day period and in consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Superior Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any material changes to the financial or other material terms of a proposal that was previously the subject of a notice hereunder shall require a second notice to the Parent Entities as provided above, but with respect to such second notice, references herein to a “four Business Day period” shall be deemed references to a “two Business Day period”; provided, that such new notice shall in no event shorten the original four Business Day period).

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Company’s receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, but subject to the Company’s, the Executive Committee’s and the Special Committee’s compliance with Section 7.03(h), the Executive Committee (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee may make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if the Executive Committee determines (upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the applicable directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(h) Prior to effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to an Intervening Event, (i) the Company shall notify the Parent Entities in writing that it intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, describing in reasonable detail the reasons for such Adverse Recommendation Change and the material facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event, (ii) if requested to do so by the Parent Entities, for a period of four Business Days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall discuss and negotiate in good faith, and shall make its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate, with the Parent Entities’ Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in such a manner that would obviate the need to effect such Adverse Recommendation Change and (iii) no earlier than the end of such four Business Day period, the Executive Committee (acting upon the

recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee shall determine, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement agreed upon by the Parent Entities during such four Business Day period and in consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would still be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the applicable directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(i) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, subject to compliance with Section 7.03(d), prevent the Company, the Executive Committee (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee from (i) issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or (ii) making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act or otherwise complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, a factually accurate public statement that only describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(j) Except as set forth in Section 9.03(b) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, for purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means any written proposal or offer (other than in respect of a Company Action undertaken at the Parent Entities’ request), from any Person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Parent Entities or the Merger Subs, relating to (A) any direct or indirect acquisition, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, of (1) assets constituting 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (based on the fair market value thereof), including an acquisition of 20% or more of such consolidated assets of the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries indirectly through the acquisition of equity interests of Manager, OpCo or a Company Subsidiary, or (2) 20% or more of the voting power of the Shares; (B) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any Person beneficially owning, or having the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, 20% or more of the voting power of the Company; or (C) any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, share exchange, joint venture, restructuring, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving a Company Entity or any of the Company Subsidiaries (other than any such transaction among the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries) pursuant to which any such Person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) would beneficially hold, directly or indirectly, more than 20% of the voting power of the Shares or the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction or 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries.

(ii) “Intervening Event” means a material positive event, fact, development or occurrence (other than any event, fact, development or occurrence resulting from a breach of this Agreement by the Company) with respect to the Company Entities or the Company Subsidiaries or the business of the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that (a) is not known by the Executive Committee

or the Special Committee, as applicable, as of or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and (b) first occurs, arises or becomes known to the Executive Committee or the Special Committee after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the date of the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, that (A) any event, fact, development or occurrence that involves or relates to an Acquisition Proposal or a Superior Proposal or any inquiry or communications or matters relating thereto, (B) any event, fact, development or occurrence that results from the announcement, pendency and consummation of this Agreement or the Mergers or any actions required to be taken or to be refrained from being taken pursuant to this Agreement, (C) the fact that the Company meets or exceeds any internal or analysts’ expectations or projections, or (D) any changes or lack thereof after the date hereof in the market price or trading volume of the Shares, individually or in the aggregate, will not be deemed to constitute an Intervening Event (it being understood that, with respect to clauses (C) and (D), the underlying facts or occurrences giving rise to such meeting or exceeding of expectations or projections or such changes or lack thereof in market price or trading volume may be taken into account in determining whether there has been an Intervening Event, to the extent not otherwise excluded from this definition).

(iii) “Superior Proposal” means any unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal that is on terms that the Executive Committee (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) and after taking into account the legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal, (x) is reasonably capable of being consummated in accordance with its terms and (y) if consummated would result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s stockholders, from a financial point of view, than the Mergers and the Transactions (taking into account any proposed amendment or modification proposed by the Parent Entities pursuant to Section 7.03(f)). For purposes of the reference to “Acquisition Proposal” in this definition, all references to “20%” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

7.04 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and the Parent Entities shall cause the Surviving Company to, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries under all indemnification agreements between any Company Entity or Company Subsidiary and any of their respective present or former directors and officers (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”). In addition, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Entities shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation and indemnification than are set forth in the Company Charter or the Company Bylaws on the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors or officers of a Company Entity or Company Subsidiary.

(b) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Parent Entities shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any Action (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or relating to any action or omission in their capacity as an officer or director of a Company Entity or Company Subsidiary, whether occurring on or before the Effective Time; provided, that in the event that any claim for indemnification is asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of such claim shall continue until the disposition of such claim. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Parent Entities shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, pay all expenses of each Indemnified Party in advance of the final disposition of any such Action, subject to receipt of an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined in accordance with applicable Law that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification. In the event of any such Action, the Parent Entities acknowledge, and shall cause the Surviving Company to acknowledge, that to the extent consistent with the provisions in the Indemnified Parties’ indemnification agreements with the Company Entities or Company Subsidiaries as of the date hereof that prevent the Company Entities or Company Subsidiaries from assuming the defense of the Indemnified Parties where there may exist a conflict of interest between the relevant Indemnified Party and any other party or parties being jointly represented, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to continue to retain the respective outside counsel representing such Indemnified Parties as of the date hereof, and neither the Parent Entities nor the Surviving Company shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Action to which an Indemnified Party is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Action or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents thereto in writing. The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 7.04(b) shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of the Company Entities, the Company Subsidiaries or the Surviving Entities, or under any Law or under any agreement of any Indemnified Party with any Company Entity or Company Subsidiary.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Entities shall obtain “tail” insurance policies with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or prior to the Effective Time on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof for the six year period following the Effective Time; provided, that if the Parent Entities can procure a “tail” policy on superior terms (from the perspective of the covered persons) or on equivalent terms, but at a lower price, as compared to any such policy that may be procured by the Company Entities, then the Parent Entities may obtain such policy (in consultation with the Company Entities) effective as of the Effective Time, in which case the Company Entities shall not obtain any such policy. The Surviving Company shall (and the Parent Entities shall cause the Surviving Company to) maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect for a period of no less than six years after the Effective Time and continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

(d) In the event the Parent Entities or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates or amalgamates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation, amalgamation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Parent Entities or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.04.

(e) The provisions of this Section 7.04 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, each of whom shall be a third party beneficiary under this Section 7.04.

(f) The Parent Entities shall cause the Surviving Entities to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Entities under this Section 7.04. The rights of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 7.04 will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such Persons may have pursuant to (i) the Company Charter and the Company Bylaws; (ii) the Manager Operating Agreement, the OpCo Operating Agreement or the organizational documents of the Company Subsidiaries; (iii) any and all indemnification agreements entered into with a Company Entity or any of the Company Subsidiaries; or (iv) applicable Law (whether at Law or in equity).

7.05 Further Action.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Parent Entities, the Merger Subs and the Company Entities agree to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken (including by causing their respective Subsidiaries to take), all reasonable actions necessary, proper or advisable to consummate, as promptly as reasonably practicable, the Transactions, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain all authorizations, consents, Orders, approvals, licenses, permits, expirations or terminations of waiting periods, and waivers of, and giving all notices, reports and other filings to, all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for their execution and delivery of, and the performance of their obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, including clearance under the HSR Act, the Antitrust Law and Foreign Investment Law Approvals; provided, however, that the Company Entities shall not be required to pay any filing fees to any such Governmental Authority in order to obtain any such authorization, consent, Order, approval, license, permit and waiver unless reimbursed pursuant to the penultimate sentence of this Section 7.05(a) and (ii) provide such other information to any Governmental Authority as such Governmental Authority may lawfully and reasonably request in connection herewith. Each party shall make its respective filing, if necessary, pursuant to the HSR Act as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 10 Business Days, following the date of this Agreement and execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary or advisable to promptly obtain such authorizations, consents, Orders, approvals, licenses, permits and waivers to consummate the Transactions. In addition, each party agrees to make, or cause to be made, as promptly as reasonably practicable, appropriate filings, and notifications or draft submissions, pursuant to any other foreign Antitrust Law or Foreign Investment Law with respect to the Transactions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.15 or any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that, following the date hereof, any of the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Steps would violate any applicable Law or become legally impermissible, then the Parent Entities and the Company Entities shall discuss and negotiate in good faith one or more amendments to the Restructuring Steps as may be required to avoid such consequences (it being agreed that if the parties cannot mutually agree to an amendment in advance of the Closing, then the Company Entities will be under no obligation to effect such transaction or transactions prior to the Closing). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company Entities or the Company Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 7.15 in all respects, including for purposes Section 8.02(b), in the event that the proceeds of the Debt Financing are not available or have not been funded at the Closing other than as a result of the Company Entities failing to comply with its obligations under this Section 7.15.

7.16 Asset Sales. At the Parent Entities’ request, the Company Entities agree to, and to cause the Company Subsidiaries and their and the Company Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives to, use their reasonable best efforts to facilitate, negotiate and consummate the sale, transfer, divestiture or other disposition (each, a “Company Sale”) of such Subsidiaries, business organizations, divisions, business units or assets of the Company Entities or the Company Subsidiaries (whether by a sale of equity interests or assets, merger or otherwise), in each case as identified by the Parent Entities from time to time (but excluding (i) TKO and any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) the agency representation business of William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, LLC and its Subsidiaries). The Company Entities shall keep any Company Sale Net Proceeds received upon consummation of any such Company Sale in a segregated account and not use any such Company Sale Net Proceeds for any purpose other than making such Company Sale Net Proceeds available at the Closing to the extent requested by the Parent Entities to fund a portion of the Required Amount or to the extent necessary to satisfy any working capital needs for which the Company Entities do not otherwise have cash available (whether pursuant to cash or cash equivalents on hand or available commitments under revolving credit facilities or

otherwise) to satisfy (any such amount used to satisfy any working capital needs in accordance with the foregoing, the “Company Sale Net Proceeds Deficit”). The Company Entities shall promptly notify the Parent Entities of the occurrence of any event that results in a Company Sale Net Proceeds Deficit and the amount of such Company Sale Net Proceeds Deficit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Entities shall not be required to enter into any definitive agreement with respect to a Company Sale unless either (i) the consummation of the Company Sale is conditioned upon consummation of the Mergers and the other Transactions required to be consummated at the Closing or (ii) such definitive agreement is approved by the Executive Committee and concurrently with the entry into such definitive agreement providing for such Company Sale, one or more of the Equity Investors provide the Parent Entities with an equity commitment letter in a form substantially similar to the Equity Commitment Letter providing for a commitment that will be effective upon the consummation of such Company Sale, equal to the amount of the applicable Company Sale Net Proceeds Deficit.

Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Parent Entities shall deliver to the Securityholder Representative a draft allocation, which shall be prepared in accordance with the Allocation Methodology (the “Allocation”), for the Securityholder Representative’s review

100

and approval. If the Securityholder Representative and the Parent Entities are not able to reach agreement regarding the Allocation, any disputes may be referred to an accounting or valuation firm of national standing reasonably acceptable to Securityholder Representative and the Parent Entities for prompt resolution (which resolution shall be consistent with the Allocation Methodology).

For the avoidance of doubt, each Continuing Employee’s vacation and sick time accruals, as of the Effective Time, shall carry over to the applicable Parent Entity, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(b) If, on the date that all conditions to closing set forth in Article VIII shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing and the condition set forth in Section 8.03(d)), the Company has not paid at least four Quarterly Dividends pursuant to Section 7.19(a), the Company shall pay, within 3 Business Days (and in any case on or prior to the Closing Date), a dividend (any such dividend, a “Catch-Up Dividend”) in respect of each issued and outstanding Share of Class A Company Common Stock outstanding as of such date in a per-share amount equal to the product of (i) $0.06 per Share (giving to effect any adjustments contemplated by Section 3.07) and (ii) four minus the number of quarters in which a Quarterly Dividend has been declared and paid (or, if a Quarterly Dividend has been declared but not yet paid, will be paid prior to the Closing Date).

(c) The payment of any Quarterly Dividend or Catch-Up Dividend shall not be conditioned upon the consummation of the Mergers or the other Transactions or any other event. In connection with any Quarterly Dividend or Catch-Up Dividend, OpCo shall make pro rata distributions pursuant to the OpCo Operating Agreement, and Manager shall make pro rata distributions pursuant to the Manager Operating Agreement, in each case, such that the Company receives pursuant to such distributions all amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 7.19 as and when due.

(i) prior to the delivery of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Executive Committee (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) determines to enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal; provided, that (A) prior to, or concurrently with, such termination the Company Entities pay (or cause to be paid) the Company Termination Fee due under Section 9.03(a) and (B) the Company substantially contemporaneously enters into such Acquisition Agreement; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(e)(i) if (x) the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained or (y) a Company Entity has materially breached Section 7.03;

(ii) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Parent Entities or the Merger Subs set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that (A) would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b) not to be satisfied and (B) such breach or inaccuracy is not capable of being cured or, if curable, is not cured by the earlier of (i) 60 days after written notice thereof is given by the Company Entities to the Parent Entities and (ii) the Outside Date; provided, that a Company Entity is not then in material breach of this Agreement;

107

(iii) if (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 have been and continue to be satisfied or, to the extent permitted by Law, waived by the Parent Entities (other than those conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied other than at the Closing, provided, that such conditions to be satisfied at the Closing would be capable of satisfaction as of the date of the notice referenced in clause (B) below if the Closing were to occur on the date of such notice), (B) on or after the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.02, the Company has irrevocably delivered written notice to the Parent Entities to the effect that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.03 have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted by Law, waived by the Company Entities (other than those conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied other than at the Closing, provided, that such conditions to be satisfied at the Closing are capable of being satisfied as of the date of such notice if the Closing were to occur on the date of such notice) and the Company is prepared to consummate the Closing and (C) the Parent Entities fail to consummate the Closing on the earlier of (x) the fifth Business Days after delivery of the notice referenced in the preceding clause (B) and (y) one Business Day prior to the Outside Date; or

(iv) prior to the delivery to the Company of duly executed countersignature pages to the Written Consent from all parties thereto, if duly executed countersignature pages to the Written Consent have not been delivered to the Company within twelve (12) hours after the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

9.02 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination.

(a) A terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other parties hereto specifying with reasonable particularity the reason for such termination, and any such termination in accordance with Section 9.01 shall be effective immediately upon delivery of such written notice to the other parties hereto.

(b) In the event of termination of this Agreement by any party as provided in Section 9.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party, except that (i) this Section 9.02, Section 7.02(b), Section 7.12(c), Section 9.03 and Article X shall remain in full force and effect and the Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and to the extent provided thereunder and (ii) subject to Section 9.03(b), Section 9.03(c), Section 9.03(d) and Section 10.18, nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any fraud or Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

9.03 Fees and Expenses. Unless specified otherwise herein, all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Transactions, the solicitation of stockholder approvals and all other matters related to the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Mergers or any other Transaction is consummated, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

108

(a) If this Agreement shall be validly terminated by the Parent Entities pursuant to (i) Section 9.01(d)(i), or (ii) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(e)(i), then OpCo shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Parent Entities (or their designees) $288,500,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”) in accordance with Section 9.03(b).

(b) In the event the Company Termination Fee becomes payable by the Company Entities pursuant to Section 9.03(a), it shall be paid to the Parent Entities (or the Parent Entities’ designees) by OpCo (or its designee) in immediately available funds within two Business Days after the termination of this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company Termination Fee becomes payable pursuant to Section 9.03(a), the Company Termination Fee shall be payable concurrently with the consummation of such Superior Proposal. The payment to the Parent Entities (or the Parent Entities’ designees) of the Company Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Related Parties for any loss suffered by the Parent Related Parties as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated, and, upon such payment in accordance with this Section 9.03, the Company Related Parties shall not have any further liability or obligation, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

(c) If this Agreement shall be validly terminated (i) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(e)(ii), Section 9.01(e)(iii) or Section 9.01(e)(iv) or (ii) by the Company or Parent Entity pursuant to Section 9.01(b) (if the events giving rise to such termination right are caused by or resulted from, in any material respect, a Parent Entity’s breach of any representations or warranties or failure to satisfy any agreements or covenants under this Agreement) or Section 9.01(c) at a time when the Company could terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(e)(ii)) or Section 9.01(e)(iii), then the Parent Entities shall pay to OpCo (or its designee) the amount of $705,000,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) in accordance with Section 9.03(d). (d) In the event the Parent Termination Fee becomes payable by the Parent Entities pursuant to this Section 9.03, it shall be paid to OpCo (or its designee) by the Parent Entities in immediately available funds within two Business Days after such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including this Article IX), the Company Entities expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) the Company Entities’ right to receive the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9.03(c), (ii) the amounts payable to OpCo and the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.12(c), (iii) the amounts payable to OpCo and the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to the penultimate sentence of this Section 9.03(d) (subject to the Expense Cap), (iv) the Company Entities’ right to seek specific performance or other equitable relief solely in accordance with, and subject to the limitations in, this Agreement (including Section 10.08) and the Equity Commitment Letter, (v) the rights of the Company Entities to bring any claims or otherwise pursue any Action in accordance with, and subject to the limitations in, the Guarantee and (vi) the rights of the Company Entities to bring any claims or otherwise pursue any Action under the Confidentiality Agreement and the Voting Agreement shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the Company Entities, the Company Subsidiaries, their respective Affiliates or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, equityholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) against (A) the Parent Entities and the Merger Subs or (B) the Equity Investors and the Parent Entities’ and the

109

Equity Investors’ respective Affiliates or any of their or their respective Affiliates’ respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, mangers, members, direct or indirect equityholders, controlling persons, attorneys, assignees, agents, representatives or representatives of any of the foregoing, or any former, current or future estates, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing, or any financial institution which provides or is committed to provide financing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”), for, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Guarantee, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Financings or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, any breach thereof by the Parent Entities or the Merger Subs), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Closing or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure and none of the Company Related Parties shall seek to recover any other damages or seek any other remedy, whether based on a claim at law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to any such losses or damages (including in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith). Nothing in this Section 9.03(d) will preclude any liability of the Debt Financing Sources or the Preferred Equity Financing Sources to the Company Entities (following the Closing), the Parent Entities or the Merger Subs under the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing or the Preferred Equity Financing or limit the Company Entities (following the Closing), the Parent Entities or the Merger Subs from seeking to recover any such damages or obtain equitable relief from or with respect to any Debt Financing Source or Preferred Equity Investor pursuant to the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing or the Preferred Equity Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, other than the obligation of the Parent Entities to pay the Parent Termination Fee and any Additional Obligations in accordance with Section 9.03(c) and this Section 9.03(d) and the respective obligations of the Guarantors under, and pursuant to the terms of, the Guarantee, in no event will any Parent Related Party or any other Person have any liability for monetary damages to the Company Entities or any other Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. While the Company Entities may pursue both a grant of specific performance pursuant to Section 10.08(a) to cause consummation of the Transactions (including the Mergers) to occur and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee and any Additional Obligations (subject to the Expense Cap), in no event shall the Company Entities be entitled to receive both (i) an order for specific performance or any other equitable remedy of the type contemplated by Section 10.08(a) to cause consummation of the Transactions (including the Mergers) to occur and (ii) the Parent Termination Fee if payable pursuant to this Section 9.03; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company Entities from pursuing (or obtaining) specific performance of the Parent Entities’ obligations hereunder or other equitable relief that does not require the Merger Subs to cause the Closing to occur and, to the extent this Agreement is subsequently terminated, the payment of the Parent Termination Fee and any Additional Obligations (subject to the Expense Cap). Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, the Company Entities would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if OpCo or the Parent Entities fail to pay in a timely manner the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, then OpCo shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Parent Entities (or their designees) or the Parent Entities shall pay (or cause to be paid) to OpCo (or its designee), as applicable, interest on such amount from and including

110

the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made, plus 2% per annum (together with the obligations of the Parent Entities under Section 7.12(c), the “Additional Obligations”). The Company Entities and the Parent Entities hereby agree that the aggregate amount of the Additional Obligations payable by the Parent Entities or the Company Entities (as applicable) pursuant to this Section 9.03(d) shall not exceed $20,000,000 (the “Expense Cap”).

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that the payment of the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee specified in this Section 9.03, as applicable, is not a penalty, but, in each case, is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate such other parties, as applicable, in the circumstances in which such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. In no event shall any party hereto be required to pay the Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, in connection with the termination of this Agreement more than once (even though such payment may be payable under one or more provisions).

10.03 Interpretation and Rules of Construction. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Annex, an Exhibit, an Article or a Section, such reference shall be to an Annex, an Exhibit, an Article or a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, index of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Documents, materials and information are deemed to have been “made available” to the Parent Entities or the Merger Subs prior to the date hereof, if such documents, materials or information were at least one day prior to the date hereof (a) available for review by such Person and its Representatives through the electronic data room entitled “Project Wildcat”, which is hosted by Venue in connection with the Transactions, (b) disclosed in a SEC Document filed and publicly available or (c) otherwise provided by or on behalf of the Company in writing to the Parent Entities, the Merger Subs or their respective Representatives. The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any Contract or Law defined or referred to herein means such Contract or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, unless otherwise specifically indicated, and any Law referred to herein shall be deemed to also refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. All accounting terms used and not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them under GAAP, except to the extent

113

otherwise specifically indicated or that the context otherwise requires. References to the “ordinary course of business” refers to the ordinary course of business of the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, consistent with past practice. References to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. If the last day of a period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the immediately following Business Day. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “dollars” and “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. References to “days” shall mean “calendar days” unless expressly stated otherwise. Whenever this Agreement requires the Merger Subs to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Parent Entities to cause the Merger Subs to take such action. All references herein to “parties” shall be to the parties hereto unless the context shall otherwise require. Decisions made in a party’s “sole discretion” may be taken for any reason or no reason. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whenever any consent, approval, waiver or notice is to be given under this Agreement by (i) the Parent Entities, such consent, approval, waiver or notice shall be given by Holdco Parent or (ii) the Company Entities, such consent, approval, waiver or notice shall be given by the Company. Any action or decision the Company Entities that expressly requires the consent or approval of the Executive Committee and any determination of the Company Entities to be expressly made by the Executive Committee pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other documents entered into in connection herewith shall be deemed to require the unanimous consent, approval or determination of the Executive Committee.

10.04 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party; provided, that the parties intend that the remedies and limitations thereon (including limitations on remedies in Section 10.08, Section 10.14 and the other limitations on the liabilities of the Parent Related Parties) contained in Article IX and Article X be construed as an integral provision of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable or subject to modification pursuant to the following sentence in any manner that increases any Parent Related Party’s liability or obligations hereunder or under the Financing. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced (except those referenced in the immediately preceding proviso), the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

114

10.05 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, taken together with the Company Disclosure Letter, the Confidentiality Agreement (together with any joinders or other agreements entered into in connection therewith), the Equity Commitment Letter, the Guarantee and the Voting Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior and concurrent agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO PARENT ENTITY, MERGER SUB OR ANY OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, ON THE ONE HAND, NOR ANY COMPANY ENTITY OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, ON THE OTHER HAND, MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO THE OTHER, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), OR AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OTHER INFORMATION, MADE (OR MADE AVAILABLE BY) BY ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

10.06 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the parties’ respective rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, that the Parent Entities and the Merger Subs may (a) assign all or any of their rights hereunder to any wholly-owned Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Parent Entities and (b) pledge this Agreement to any lender of the Parent Entities as security for the obligation of such lender in respect of providing the Financing, provided, that, in each case, (i) no such assignment or pledge will in any way affect the Parent Entities’ obligations or liabilities under this Agreement and the Parent Entities shall continue to remain liable for all such obligations and liabilities and (ii) such assignment would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. No assignment by any party shall relieve such party of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

10.07 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except for (a) the provisions of Section 7.04 (which are for the benefit of the Persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such Persons after the Effective Time), (b) after the Effective Time occurs, for the rights of the holders of Shares, OpCo Membership Interests, OpCo Profits Units to receive the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (c) the rights of the applicable Holders set forth on Annex 1 of the Company Disclosure Letter to receive any Deferred Payment that becomes due in accordance with Annex 1 of the Company Disclosure Letter, (d) the rights of the holders of Vested Company RSUs and Vested Company PSUs to receive the Company RSU/PSU Payment in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement after the Effective Time, (e) the rights of each holder of a Vested Company Option to receive the Option Consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement after the Effective Time, (f) the third party beneficiary rights specified in the Equity Commitment Letter and (g) the rights of the Non-Recourse Parties set forth in Section 10.14.

115

10.08 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Guarantee, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in Law, equity or otherwise, including monetary damages) to (i) an Order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including Section 7.12(d)), the Company Entities shall be entitled to enforce specifically the Parent Entities’ and Merger Subs’ obligation to consummate the Transactions and the Equity Investor’s obligation to provide the Equity Financing if, and only if, (1) all of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of this Agreement have been and continue to be satisfied or waived (other than those that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing; provided, that those conditions could be satisfied if the Closing were to occur), (2) the Company Entities have irrevocably confirmed by written notice to the Parent Entities that (x) all conditions set forth in Section 8.03 have been satisfied (other than those that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing) or that they would be willing to waive any unsatisfied conditions in Section 8.03 and (y) they are ready, willing, and able to consummate the Closing if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing is funded, (3) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing (in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof) (for the avoidance of doubt, if the Debt Financing has not been funded and will not be funded at the Closing for any reason (including a breach of Section 7.13), the Company Entities shall not be entitled to enforce the Parent Entities’ and Merger Subs’ obligation to consummate the Transactions and the Equity Investor’s obligation to provide the Equity Financing pursuant to this Section 10.08) and (4) the Mergers have not been consummated in accordance with Section 2.02. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable on the basis that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at Law; provided that, in no event shall the Company Entities be entitled to both (i) obtain an order for specific performance or any other equitable remedy of the type contemplated by this Section 10.08(a) and (ii) receive the Parent Termination Fee if payable pursuant to Section 9.03.

(b) Each party further agrees that no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 10.08, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. The parties acknowledge and agree that the right of specific performance contemplated by this Section 10.08 is an integral part of the Transactions, including the Mergers, and without that right, none of the Company Entities, the Parent Entities or the Merger Subs would have entered into this Agreement.

116

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary to this Agreement (including the terms of Section 9.01(c)), in the event that the Company Entities initiate a proceeding seeking an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief pursuant to this Section 10.08, no party shall object to any application to the court setting forth an expedited timeline to hear and determine such action.

10.09 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law that would cause the application of law of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

(b) The parties hereto agree that any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transactions (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, if such court does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware. Consistent with the preceding sentence, each of the parties hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the State of Delaware for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by either party hereto; (ii) agrees that service of process will be validly effected by sending notice in accordance with Section 10.02; and (iii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by any of the above named courts.

10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10.

10.11 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, by written agreement of the parties hereto at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, that, with respect to the Company Entities, the Special Committee has approved such amendment; provided, further, that prior to the Effective Time, no amendment may be made that would reduce the amount or change the form of the Merger Consideration or that would otherwise require the approval of the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law without the consent of the stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding

117

anything to the contrary contained herein, the Special Committee shall have the exclusive right to determine the satisfaction of, or to waive, the condition set forth in Section 8.03(d) on behalf of the Company Entities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 10.11, the first sentence of Section 10.10 and Section 10.16 (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provision would modify the substance of such Sections) shall not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived in a manner that adversely impacts or is otherwise adverse in any respect to (a) any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of the applicable Debt Financing Sources and (b) any Preferred Equity Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the applicable Preferred Equity Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company Entities shall be permitted to amend Annex 1 to the Company Disclosure Letter in their sole discretion to reflect any changes to the capitalization of Manager, OpCo, or the Executive Holdcos following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time resulting from any exchanges, redemptions or forfeitures in accordance with the organizational documents of such Persons.

10.12 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parent Entities (on behalf of themselves and the Merger Subs), on the one hand, and the Company Entities (subject to Section 10.19, only if such action has been recommended by the Special Committee (it being agreed that the Parent Entities shall be entitled to assume, by the Company taking any action referred to in clauses (a), (b) or (c), that the Special Committee has recommended such action)), on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of any other party or any condition to its own obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

10.13 Company Disclosure Letter. The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in each other Section of the Company Disclosure Letter (other than Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.06 and 4.23 and Schedule A of the Company Disclosure Letter) to which such information reasonably relates on its face as though fully set forth in such other Section. Certain items and matters may be listed in the Company Disclosure Letter for informational purposes only and may not be required to be listed therein by the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall the listing of items or matters in the Company Disclosure Letter be deemed or interpreted to broaden, or otherwise expand the scope of, the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation or warranty (a) shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material event, circumstance, change, effect, development or condition or that such item would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company Entities and (b) shall not be construed as an admission or indication by the Company of any non-compliance with, or breach or violation of, any third party rights (including any Company Intellectual Property), any Contract or agreement or any Law or Order of any Governmental Authority, such disclosures having been made solely for the purposes of creating exceptions to the representations made herein or of disclosing any information required to be disclosed under this Agreement.

This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party, except for claims that the Company Entities may assert in accordance with the Guarantee, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Confidentiality Agreement.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein or in connection with any Transactions shall be sought or had against any Non-Recourse Party, except for claims that any party may assert (A) against another party solely in accordance with, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement or (B) pursuant to the Guarantee, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Confidentiality Agreement, the Voting Agreement or the Rollover Agreements.

This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

The foregoing waiver with respect to any Debt Financing Source, Preferred Equity Financing Source or Debt Financing Related Party or Preferred Equity Financing Related Party shall only apply in such Person’s capacity as such.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: (a) (i) the obligations of the Company Entities, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives set forth in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Section 6.01 or Article VII) or any of the other documents, agreements or instruments contemplated hereby (including the Restructuring Steps) shall not apply to TKO, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives (in their capacity as Representatives of TKO and its Subsidiaries) other than as set forth in Section 10.17(a)(ii) and with respect to the obligation of the Company Entities to request that TKO and TKO OpCo enter into an Issuer Agreement pursuant to Section 7.12(a)(x) and (ii) the Company Entities’ obligations to cause the Company Subsidiaries to take or omit to take any action pursuant to Section 6.01, Article VII or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other documents, agreements or instruments contemplated hereby (including the Restructuring Steps)

121

shall be deemed to be performed in full with respect to TKO and its Subsidiaries so long as the Company, solely in its capacity as a stockholder of TKO and with respect to matters that are subject to the approval of the TKO stockholders, votes its shares of Class B common stock in TKO in a manner that complies with the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, enforces or exercises its rights under the organizational and governing documents of TKO and its Subsidiaries in a manner that complies with the Company’s obligations under this Agreement (provided that (x) the foregoing shall not require the Company Entities and the Company Subsidiaries to violate applicable Law and (y) in no event shall the Company Entities be required to remove any directors or officers of TKO); (b) with respect to any non-wholly owned Company Subsidiary or other joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement to which any Company Entity or Company Subsidiary is a party (each, a “Company JV”), the obligations of the Company Entities, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives set forth in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Section 6.01 or Article VII) or any of the other documents, agreements or instruments contemplated hereby (including the Restructuring Steps) shall only apply to the extent a Company Entity (directly or indirectly through a wholly-owned Company Subsidiary or Representative) has the right to cause such Company JV to comply with any such obligation or take or not take any such action (taking into account the rights of any other equityholders or other parties to such Company JV and the obligations of such Company JV and the Company Entities and Company Subsidiaries with respect to such Company JV); provided that, the Company Entities shall not be permitted to effect any transfer, sale or other disposition of any equity securities in TKO or TKO Operating Company, LLC (“TKO OpCo”) held by the Company Entities or the Company Subsidiaries (other than TKO and its Subsidiaries), except in connection with redemptions pursuant to the TKO OpCo Operating Agreement (in accordance with the terms of the TKO OpCo Operating Agreement); and (c) nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit redemptions or exchanges pursuant to the OpCo Operating Agreement, Manager Operating Agreement or the Executive Holdco Operating Agreements or any actions taken in connection therewith (in each case, in accordance with the terms of the OpCo Operating Agreement, Manager Operating Agreement and Executive Holdco Operating Agreements, as applicable (except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.01(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter)); and (d) no action or omission or other matter with respect to TKO or its Subsidiaries or any Company Entity, Company Subsidiary or Company JV contemplated by this Section 10.17 shall constitute a breach of any provision of this Agreement and the Parent Entities and Merger Subs shall not have any right to rely on any failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.02(b) to be satisfied (or terminate this Agreement on the basis thereof) or claim any loss or damage or seek any other remedy (whether at law, in equity or otherwise) to the extent that such failure, loss or damage arises from any action or omission of a Company Entity or Company Subsidiary or other matter with respect to TKO or its Subsidiaries or any Company Entity, Company Subsidiary or Company JV contemplated by this Section 10.17, in each case, to the extent the Company Entities have otherwise complied with this Section 10.17. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Entities shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives not to, divert, redirect or otherwise transfer to TKO or its Subsidiaries any corporate or other business opportunity or activity that would otherwise in the ordinary course of business constitute a corporate opportunity or other business opportunity of the Company Entities or the Company Subsidiaries with the intention of avoiding the restrictions set forth in Section 6.01 as it applies to the Company Entities or the Company Subsidiaries.

10.18 Designated Individuals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that to the extent that any action or any knowing or intentional omission taken by any Person set forth on Section 10.18 of the Company Disclosure Letter (each, a “Designated Individual”) on or after the date hereof, or any action or omission of any other Person taken at the specific direction or with the consent of any Designated Individual on or after the date hereof (in each case, other than any such action or omission taken by a Designated Individual or any such other Person at the written direction of the Special Committee), would constitute a breach by a Company Entity of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty in this Agreement or would result in any representation or warranty of the Company Entities contained in this Agreement being inaccurate, such breach or inaccuracy shall be disregarded for all purposes under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent Entities and Merger Subs shall not have any right to rely on any failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.02(b) to be satisfied (or terminate this Agreement on the basis thereof) or claim any loss or damage or seek any other remedy (whether at law, in equity or otherwise) to the extent that such failure, loss or damage arises from any action or omission of a Company Entity or Company Subsidiary taken by, at the direction of or with the consent of any Designated Individual on or after the date hereof (other than any such action or omission taken at the written direction of the Special Committee).

122

10.19 Certain Special Committee Matters.
