Section 1.1.The Merger.  Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Merger Sub and the Company shall duly prepare, execute and acknowledge a certificate of merger ‎‎(the “Certificate of Merger”) in accordance with Section 18-209 of the Act that shall be filed ‎with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware at such time and in accordance with the ‎provisions of the Act. The Merger shall become effective at 12:01 a.m. Central Standard Time on July 1, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). In accordance with the Act, ‎at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate ‎limited liability company existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue ‎as the surviving limited liability company under the Laws of the State of Delaware (the ‎“Surviving Company”).  From and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects ‎set forth in Section 18-209(g) of the Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and ‎subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and ‎franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, ‎liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become debts, ‎liabilities, obligations and duties of the Surviving Company.‎

Section 1.2.Reserved.

Section 1.3.Surviving Charter Documents.  At the Effective Time and without any ‎further action on the part of the Company or Merger Sub, (a) the certificate of formation of the ‎Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the certificate of ‎formation of the Surviving Company as of the Effective Time, until duly amended in ‎accordance with such certificate and applicable Law and (b) the limited liability company ‎agreement of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject to Section 5.5(a), but reflecting ‎any necessary amendments to reflect changes in the name, shall be the limited liability ‎company agreement of the Surviving Company as of the Effective Time (the “Surviving ‎Company LLC Agreement”), until duly amended as provided therein or in accordance with ‎applicable Law.‎

Section 1.4.Officers of the Surviving Company.  At the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company, each of such officers to hold office, subject to the applicable provisions of the Act and the certificate of formation of the Surviving Company and the Surviving Company LLC Agreement.

4855-0363-3265.v2

Section 1.5.Conversion of Units.

(a)On the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, (i) each issued and outstanding membership interest of the Company (the “Company Membership Interest” and collectively, the “Company Membership Interests”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and all rights in respect thereof shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Members, forthwith cease to exist and be automatically converted into and represent the right to receive, such Members’ Pro Rata Percentage of the Closing Amount, as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.10 and such Member’s Transmittal Letter, in cash without interest, and (ii) each membership interest of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into a membership interest in the Surviving Company, as such membership interest is provided for by the Surviving Company LLC Agreement.  As of the Effective Time, the membership interests of Merger Sub shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist, and the holder of such membership interests shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to have such membership interest converted into membership interests in the Surviving Company, as provided herein.  

(b)After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) each Member shall cease to have any rights as an equityholder of the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, and no transfer of the Company Membership Interests shall be made on the transfer books of the Surviving Company, and (ii) Parent shall be the holder, directly or indirectly, of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.6.Procedures for Members.  The portion of the Closing Amount to be paid to the Members for their Company Membership Interests in accordance with the amounts set forth ‎opposite their respective names on Schedule 1.10 and such Member’s Transmittal Letter shall be paid by Parent to the ‎Paying Agent at Closing and thereafter the Paying Agent shall, following receipt of the Transmittal Letter from a Member, ‎pay to such Member the portion of the Closing Amount such Member is entitled to receive as set forth on Schedule 1.10, in cash or other immediately available funds to ‎such Member’s account as set forth in such Member’s ‎Transmittal Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent’s sole obligation with respect to the payment of the Closing Amount shall be to pay to the Paying Agent such Closing Amount as described in the first sentence of this Section 1.6 as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.10.  The Member will only receive its portion of the ‎Closing Amount following such Member’s delivery to the ‎Paying Agent (and receipt by the Paying Agent thereof) of a duly completed and ‎executed Transmittal Letter, including all exhibits thereto, and acknowledgement of such Member’s ‎representations and warranties, and covenants set forth or referenced therein.  The amounts paid ‎pursuant to this Section 1.6 and Section 5.12, if any, shall be deemed to be full payment ‎and satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Membership Interests represented by such Transmittal Letter, except for any rights of the Members to the remaining ‎components of the Merger Consideration.  Until the Transmittal Letter (including the ‎making by such Member of the representations and warranties, and covenants set forth or referenced therein) is delivered to the Paying Agent by a

3

4855-0363-3265.v2

Member, as contemplated by this Section 1.6, such Member’s Company Membership ‎Interests shall be deemed at any time after the Closing to represent only the right ‎to receive the amounts determined pursuant to this Section 1.6 and Section 5.12, if any, ‎subject to the delivery of the Transmittal Letter.  If a Member delivers to the Paying Agent a Transmittal Letter after the Closing, the Paying Agent shall promptly, but no later than five (5) days after its receipt of the Transmittal Letter, provide a copy of such executed Transmittal Letter to Parent in accordance with the notice provisions in Section 10.5; provided, that for purposes of this sentence, notice may be provided solely by electronic mail.  Any portion of the amount paid to the ‎Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement that remains unclaimed by any Member one (1) year after the Closing shall, to the extent permitted by applicable ‎Law, be returned to Parent, and any Member who has not submitted a Transmittal ‎Letter to receive its applicable consideration prior to ‎such time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment thereof without any interest ‎thereon (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws). Notwithstanding any ‎provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither Parent, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent nor the Members’ Representative ‎shall be liable to any Member in respect of any Company Membership Interest or monetary obligation ‎derived therefrom that has been delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable ‎abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. ‎

Section 1.7.Merger Consideration.

(a)The aggregate consideration for the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be an amount equal to the aggregate sum of (A) $79,500,000.00 USD (the “Base Price”), (B) plus the amount of the Final Closing Cash, if any, (C) minus, the amount of the Closing Debt, if any, (D) plus the Final Working Capital Positive Adjustment or minus the Final Working Capital Negative Adjustment, as applicable, as determined pursuant to Section 1.10, and (E) minus the unpaid Transaction Expenses (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”).  The Merger Consideration shall be paid in accordance with Sections 1.7(b) and 1.10.  The Merger Consideration shall be allocated among the Members as set forth on the Funds Flow Memorandum.

The Parties shall in good faith attempt to agree in writing on the Estimated Settlement Statement as soon as possible after Parent’s receipt of the Estimated Settlement Statement.  The Estimated Settlement Statement, as agreed upon in writing by the Parties, shall control for purposes of all payments to be made at Closing. The Parties agree that each Member’s pro rata percentage of the total Merger Consideration shall be set forth on Schedule 1.10 (“Pro Rata Percentage”).

(b)Determination of Post-Closing Merger Consideration Adjustments.

8

4855-0363-3265.v2

prepared, calculated and determined in accordance with GAAP as in effect at the Balance Sheet Time, except where there is an inconsistency between GAAP and this Agreement, in which case this Agreement shall be controlling, and in accordance with the policies, practices and methods set forth on Schedule 1.10 and together with appropriate supporting calculations and documentation.

(ii)If the Members’ Representative disputes any item in the Parent Closing Statement, within forty-five (45) days of receipt thereof (the “Dispute Deadline”), the Members’ Representative shall provide written notice of such dispute, setting forth in reasonable detail those Initial Closing Date Items that Members’ Representative disputes, the amounts of any adjustments that are necessary in Members’ Representative’s judgment for the computations of the disputed Initial Closing Date Items to conform to the requirements of this Agreement, and the basis for Members’ Representative’s suggested adjustments together with reasonable working papers and supporting detail (a “Dispute Notice”).  During the period prior to the Dispute Deadline, the Members’ Representative and its Representatives shall be provided by Parent with reasonable access during normal business hours to the Books and Records of the Surviving Company, Representatives of the Surviving Company and the Parent as they may reasonably request to enable them to evaluate the Initial Closing Date Items; provided, however, that the Members’ Representative and its Representatives will conduct such review in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the businesses of Parent, the Surviving Company or their respective Representatives.  If the Members’ Representative provides such a Dispute Notice, then the Members’ Representative and Parent shall, during the thirty (30) day period following delivery of a Dispute Notice, negotiate in good faith with a view to resolving such dispute.  If the Members’ Representative fails to provide a Dispute Notice prior to the Dispute Deadline, then the Parent Closing Statement shall be deemed to be the “Final Working Capital,” the “Final Closing Cash,” the “Final Closing Date Balance Sheet,” the “Final Closing Transaction Expenses,” and the “Final Closing Debt” respectively, which, in each case, shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding upon all Parties for all purposes of this Agreement. Any matters set forth in the Parent Closing Statement that are not included in a timely delivered Dispute Notice (as defined below) will be deemed accepted by Members’ Representative (on behalf of itself and the other Members) and Parent’s determination of such matters will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iii)If the Members’ Representative and Parent are unable to resolve all items in the Dispute Notice within the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 1.10(b)(ii), then Parent and the Members’ Representative shall promptly jointly request that the Independent Accounting Firm make a binding determination as to the items remaining in dispute (the “Remaining Dispute Items”) in accordance with this Agreement.  The Independent Accounting Firm will, under the terms of its engagement, have no more than the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days from the date of referral and (B) ten (10) Business Days after the final submission of information by

9

4855-0363-3265.v2

Parent and Members’ Representative within which to render its written decision with respect to the Remaining Dispute Items. The Independent Accounting Firm shall review such submissions and base its determination solely on such submissions.  In resolving any such dispute, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the maximum value for such item claimed by Members’ Representative or Parent, as applicable, or less than the minimum value for such item claimed by Members’ Representative or Parent, as applicable.  The decision of the Independent Accounting Firm, absent manifest error, shall be deemed final and binding upon the Parties and enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, and following such decision, the Independent Accounting Firm shall issue the final Initial Closing Date Balance Sheet (which shall be the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet and shall be binding on the Parties to this Agreement) and the Final Merger Consideration. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and paid by Parent, on the one hand, and the Members’ Representative (on behalf of the Members), on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm.  For instance, if Members’ Representative challenges the calculation of the proposed adjustment amount in the proposed Parent Closing Statement by an amount of $100,000, but the Independent Accounting Firm determines that Members’ Representative has a valid claim for only $40,000, Members’ Representative (on behalf of the Members) shall bear 60% (i.e., $60,000/$100,000) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and Parent shall bear the other 40% of such fees and expenses (i.e., $40,000/$100,000). The Independent Accounting Firm may not award interest, damages or penalties.

(iv)The “Final Working Capital,” the “Final Closing Cash,” the “Final Closing Transaction Expenses,” and the “Final Closing Debt,” and resulting Merger Consideration (the “Final Merger Consideration”) shall be calculated using the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet and in accordance with Section 1.10(b)(ii) and (iii).

(c)Payment following the Post-Closing Merger Consideration Adjustments.  Following the final determination of the Final Merger Consideration, if (i) the Final Merger Consideration is equal to the Closing Date Merger Consideration, then Parent and the Members’ Representative shall, within two (2) Business Days following such determination, deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent authorizing the Escrow Agent to release the Merger Consideration Escrow Amount to Members’ Representative ‎(for distribution to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Members in ‎accordance with Section 5.12), (ii)  the Final Merger Consideration is greater than the Closing Date Merger Consideration, then (a) Parent and the Members’ Representative shall, within two (2) Business Days following such determination, deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent authorizing the Escrow Agent to release the Merger Consideration Escrow Amount to, or as directed by, Members’ Representative and (b) Parent shall pay to Members’ Representative (for distribution to the Paying Agent for

10

4855-0363-3265.v2

further distribution to the Members in accordance with Section 5.12‎) an amount equal to the difference by which the Final Merger Consideration is greater than the Closing Date Merger Consideration, or (iii) the Final Merger Consideration is less than the Closing Date Merger Consideration (the amount equal to the difference by which the Final Merger Consideration is less than the Closing Date Merger Consideration, the “Shortfall”), Parent and the Members’ Representative shall, within two (2) Business Days following such determination, (a) deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent authorizing the Escrow Agent to release from the Merger Consideration Escrow Amount to Parent an amount equal to the Shortfall and (b) release any remaining Merger Consideration Escrow Amount still in the escrow to the Members’ Representative ‎(for distribution to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Members in ‎accordance with Section 5.12)‎, and if the Merger Consideration Escrow Amount is not sufficient to cover the Shortfall, at the Parent’s sole discretion, (1) the Members’ Representative, on behalf of the Members, shall pay to Parent an amount equal to that portion of the Shortfall that is in excess of the Merger Consideration Escrow Amount, (2) Parent and the Members’ Representative shall, within two (2) Business Days following such determination, deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent authorizing the Escrow Agent to release to Parent from the Indemnity Escrow Amount an amount equal to that portion of the Shortfall that is in excess of the Merger Consideration Escrow Amount or (3) any combination of (1) and (2).  All payments pursuant to this Section 1.10(c) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in advance by the Members’ Representative or Parent, as applicable, and shall be made on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day following the final determination of the Final Merger Consideration.

Section 1.11.Merger Consideration Allocation.

(a)The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that pursuant to Situation 2 of Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432, the Merger will be treated for federal income Tax purposes as a purchase of the assets of the Company by Parent, and by the Members as a sale under Code Section 741 of their respective Company Membership Interests (collectively, the “Tax Treatment”). The Parties hereto shall (i) file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the foregoing treatment and (ii) not take any position inconsistent with the foregoing Tax Treatment, in each case, except as required by applicable Law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

11

4855-0363-3265.v2

Parent and the Members also shall allocate and report any adjustments to the Merger Consideration in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.755-1 and 1.1060-1(e), as applicable, and any allocations made as a result of such adjustments shall become part of the Merger Consideration Allocation.  The Merger Consideration Allocation shall be revised after all adjustments, if any, have been made in accordance with this Section 1.11.  With respect to Asset Class V of the Allocation Principles, Parent and the Members hereby agree that, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, Parent shall engage Stout Risius Ross, LLC (“Stout”) to conduct a valuation of such assets and deliver a valuation report pursuant to the Allocation Principles (the “Stout Valuation Report”). Prior to the completion of the Stout Valuation Report, the Members’ Representative shall be permitted to review and comment on the Stout Valuation Report; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the final Stout Valuation Report shall be subject to the final approval of Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably witheld, conditioned or delayed), Parent’s independent auditor and Stout.  Parent and the Members hereby agree that they will report the federal, state, foreign and other Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Merger Consideration Allocation (as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.11) and agree to act in accordance with the Merger Consideration Allocation as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.11) in the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns (including to the extent required filing Form 8594 with their respective federal income Tax Returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and any other forms or statements required by the Code, Treasury Regulations, the Internal Revenue Service or any applicable state or local Governmental Authority) and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax litigation relating thereto‎; provided, however, that neither the Members or any of their Affiliates nor Parent or any ‎of its Affiliates will be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation of the Merger ‎Consideration by a Governmental Authority.  The Parties hereto will promptly inform one another of any challenge by any Governmental Authority to any allocation made pursuant to this Section 1.11 and agree to consult and keep one another informed with respect to the status of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.

Section 1.12.Escrow.  At the Closing, the Escrow Amount shall be placed in an escrow account to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement as security for the Members’ Representative’s obligations, if any, with respect to the Merger Consideration adjustment as set forth in Section 1.10(c) and to satisfy any claims for which Parent Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article VIII.  Parent, on one hand, and the Members’ Representative on behalf of the Members, on the other hand, will share equally the payment of any fees and expenses payable to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

Section 1.13.Paying Agent.  Catapult shall act as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of distributing any Merger Consideration to the Members.  Provided that Parent has made the payments to the Paying Agent as contemplated in this Agreement, neither Parent nor

12

4855-0363-3265.v2

its Affiliate (including the Surviving Company) shall have any liability to the Members in regard to the payments to be made from the Paying Agent to the Members pursuant to Section 1.6 or Section 5.12 nor shall Parent or the Paying Agent have any liability in respect of any allocations and adjustment pursuant to Section 1.11 or with respect to the determination of the Pro Rata Percentages.

Section 1.14.Withholding.  Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent is required to deduct or withhold therefrom under the Code, or any Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment‎; provided, that, prior to making any such deduction or withholding‎, Parent ‎has provided the ‎payee at least five (5) days advance written notice of such intention to deduct ‎or withhold and ‎has reasonably cooperated with the payee to seek to reduce or eliminate any such ‎deduction or ‎withholding. To the extent that any amounts are deducted or withheld by Parent ‎pursuant to and in accordance with the foregoing provisions and are timely remitted to the ‎appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom or to which such amounts would otherwise have been paid by Parent.

(c)THE STATEMENTS AND DISCLAIMERS MADE UNDER THIS SECTION 8.2 EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE CLOSING DATE.

(a)any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties of Parent contained in Article IV, contained in the Escrow Agreement or in the certificates delivered to Members’ Representative pursuant to Sections 1.9(b)(vi); and

(b)any breach or failure to perform by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Company of their respective covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

Section 8.4.Indemnification Notice; Litigation Notice.  If a Party believes that it has suffered or incurred any Indemnity Loss to which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.1 or 8.3 (such Party, the “Claimant”), subject to the survival periods in Section 8.7 and the other indemnity limitations in this Article VIII, the Claimant shall so notify, as the case may be, (a) Parent in the event the Claimant is a Member Indemnified Party, or (b) Members’ Representative, in the event the Claimant is a Parent Indemnified Party, promptly‎ (but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days of becoming aware of such Indemnity Loss)‎ in writing (x) identifying the party or parties which the Claimant believes has an obligation to indemnify Claimant (the “Indemnifying Party”) and (y) describing such Indemnity Loss and the provisions under this Agreement on which such claim is based ‎‎(subject to and taking into account the limitations in this Article VIII)‎, including the amount thereof, if known, in such detail as is reasonably practicable, including any documentation reasonably related to such Indemnity Loss (the “Indemnification Notice”).  If any Proceeding is instituted by a third party with respect to which the Claimant intends to claim any Liability or expense as an Indemnity Loss under this Article VIII (a “Third-Party Claim”), it shall promptly ‎(but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days of becoming aware of such Indemnity Loss) ‎notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third-Party Claim describing such Indemnity Loss‎ (subject to the limitations in this Article VIII) ‎and the amount thereof, if known, all with reasonable detail‎, including any documentation reasonably related to such Indemnity Loss‎‎ and the provisions under this Agreement on which such claim is based (the “Litigation Notice”) in lieu of an Indemnification Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, no failure or delay in providing an Indemnification Notice or Litigation Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby).

Section 8.5.Disagreement Notice.  If the Indemnifying Party does not agree that the Claimant is entitled to full reimbursement for the amount or claim specified in the Indemnification Notice or the Litigation Notice, as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Claimant (the “Disagreement Notice”) within thirty (30) calendar days of its receipt of the

46

4855-0363-3265.v2

Indemnification Notice or the Litigation Notice, as the case may be. Any dispute regarding indemnification shall be resolved as provided for in Sections 10.10 and 10.11.

Section 8.6.Defense of Third-Party Claims.  

(a)The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Litigation Notice to (1) notify the Claimant, in writing, that it elects to conduct and control the Third-Party Claim (the “Election Notice”) and (2) appoint counsel reasonably acceptable to the Claimant to be lead counsel in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party gives a Disagreement Notice or does not give the foregoing Election Notice during such thirty (30) day period, the Claimant shall have the right (but not the obligation) to defend, contest, settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim in the exercise of its reasonable discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and shall pay (subject to the limitations in this Article VIII)‎ the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to all Claimants arising out of the same or similar set of circumstances in connection with such defense, if such Third-Party Claim (i) primarily seeks as a means of recourse an injunction or other equitable relief against the Claimant, (ii) involves a criminal allegation by a Governmental Authority against the Claimant, (iii) to the extent related to claims arising under Sections 8.1(a)(i) and 8.1(b)(i) other than for a Fundamental Representation, would reasonably be expected to result in an Indemnity Loss (including the cost of defense) which exceeds the amount, if any, then remaining under the Indemnification Cap, (iv) involves, in the opinion of counsel of the Claimant, a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant in which Claimant is able to bring claims that are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or (v) is being conducted and controlled by the insurer under the R&W Policy (clauses (i) through (v), the “Exception Claims”).

(b)If the Indemnifying Party timely gives the foregoing Election Notice and such Third-Party Claim is not an Exception Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake, conduct and control, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, the conduct and settlement of such Third-Party Claim, and the Claimant shall provide its reasonable cooperation, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense ‎to the extent Claimant incurs reasonable out of pocket expenses, including providing reasonable access during regular business hours to records and Personnel of the Claimant to the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to any settlement that imposes any injunction against the Claimant without the prior written consent of the Claimant, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Claimant to participate in such conduct or settlement through legal counsel chosen by the Claimant, but the fees and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne solely by the Claimant, (iii) upon a final determination of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Claimant, to the extent required under this Article VIII, for the full amount of any Indemnity Loss incurred by the Claimant, except fees and expenses of legal counsel that the Claimant incurred pursuant to clause (ii) following the receipt by the Claimant of the Election Notice, and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to pay or settle such Third-Party Claim provided that (A) such settlement is solely for monetary damages, all of which are being paid by the Indemnifying Party, (B) the Claimant has no liability with respect to such settlement, (C) the terms of such settlement provide for a full release of the Claimant, and (D) the consent of the insurer under the R&W Policy is obtained, if required by the insurer or the R&W Policy, and (v)

47

4855-0363-3265.v2

the Claimant shall have the right to pay or settle any such Third-Party Claim with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(c)If (i) the Claimant does not receive an Election Notice within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the Litigation Notice with respect to a Third-Party Claim, or (ii) such Third-Party Claim is an Exception Claim, in each case, the Claimant may defend against and settle such matter as it deems appropriate at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII and Section 8.6(b)(v)); provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party and shall not be recoverable from such Claimant or the Indemnity Escrow Amount under this Article VIII ‎and subject to the limitations in this Article VIII.

(d)To the extent of any conflict between this Section 8.6 and Section 9.1(g), Section 9.1(g) shall govern.

Section 8.7.Survival.  Claims for indemnification under Section 8.1(a)(i), Section 8.1(a)(ii), Section 8.1(a)(iii) and Section 8.2(b)(i) shall only be valid to the extent that such claims are made on or prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, claims arising from any breach of the Fundamental Representations may be made at any time on or prior to sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations. On the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Members’ Representative and Parent shall deliver joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent ‎directing the Escrow Agent to disburse the balance of the Indemnity Escrow Amount as directed by Members’ Representative, less any amounts necessary to satisfy any then pending indemnification obligations ‎of the Members (which such amounts shall remain in escrow pending the resolution of such ‎outstanding obligations).

Section 8.8.Limitation on Certain Indemnified Losses.  

(a)The Members shall have no liability in respect of any Indemnity Losses arising under Sections 8.1(a)(i), 8.1(a)(ii) or 8.1(b)(i) (other than in the case of Exempted Losses) unless the amount of such Indemnity Losses‎ resulting from or arising out of any individual circumstances or occurrence or series of related circumstances or occurrences arising out of the same or similar set of facts or circumstances actually incurred or paid by the Parent Indemnified Parties exceeds $10,000 (the “Indemnity Threshold”); provided, that all Indemnity Losses incurred or paid by the Parent Indemnified Parties (including those that do not exceed the Indemnity Threshold) shall be counted towards the Indemnification Deductible.

(b)The Members shall not be required to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Parties for Indemnity Losses arising under Sections 8.1(a)(i) and 8.1(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of such Indemnity Losses for which the Parent Indemnified Parties are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.1(a)(i) and 8.1(b)(i) exceeds $278,250 (the “Indemnification Deductible”), ‎and then only to the extent such Indemnity Losses are in excess of such Indemnification Deductible, subject to ‎the other limitations in Article VIII; provided,

48

4855-0363-3265.v2

however, that the Indemnification Deductible shall not apply to Indemnity Losses arising from Exempted Losses.

(c)After the Indemnification Deductible is exceeded, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be paid the amount of all Indemnity Losses in excess of the Indemnification Deductible, subject to the limitations on recovery and recourse set forth herein, including the Indemnity Threshold and Indemnification Cap.  Other than Exempted Losses, in no event shall the Members in the aggregate be liable to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Parties for Indemnity Losses arising under Sections 8.1(a)(i) and 8.1(b)(i) in excess of $278,250 (the “Indemnification Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, except in the case of Fraud, in no event shall the Members in the aggregate be liable to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Parties or otherwise for Indemnity Losses in excess of the Merger Consideration in the aggregate or with respect to any Member, such Member’s Pro Rata Share of the Merger ‎Consideration; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Members’ aggregate liability with respect to the Parent Indemnified Parties for Indemnity Losses arising under Section 8.1(a)(ii) (Title) and Section 8.1(a)(iii) (Indemnified Taxes) shall be the Retention.

(d)Except for (i) Indemnity Losses up to the amount of the Indemnification Cap (and subject to the Indemnity Threshold) and (ii) Exempted Losses, claims made by the Parent Indemnified Parties against the R&W Policy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnified Parties for any Indemnity Losses arising under Sections 8.1(a)(i) and 8.1(b)(i).  ‎Except for (A) Indemnity Losses up to the Retention (and subject to the Indemnity Threshold) and (B) Exempted Losses, claims made by the Parent Indemnified Parties against the R&W Policy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnified Parties for any Indemnity Losses arising under Sections 8.1(a)(ii) and 8.1(a)(iii). In furtherance of the foregoing, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, in the ‎event the Parent Indemnified Parties are entitled to Indemnity Losses arising under Sections 8.1(a)(i), 8.1(a)(ii), 8.1(a)(iii) and ‎‎8.1(b)(i) from Catapult or any Member (other than with respect to any Exempted Losses), the ‎Parent Indemnified Parties’ first source of recovery shall be recourse to the Indemnity Escrow ‎Amount until the Indemnity Escrow Amount has been fully exhausted or disbursed in ‎accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, at which point (x) the Parent Indemnified Parties’ sole source of recovery for Indemnity Losses arising under Sections 8.1(a)(i) and 8.1(b)(i) shall be through the R&W Policy in accordance with the terms of ‎the R&W Policy and (y) the Parent Indemnified Parties’ source of recovery for Indemnity Losses arising under Sections 8.1(a)(ii) and 8.1(a)(iii) shall be against Catapult, to the extent the Retention under the R&W Policy has not been met and then solely against the R&W Policy from and after the time at which the Retention under the R&W Policy has been met.  ‎Other than with respect to Exempted Losses, with respect to Indemnity Losses arising out of a breach of Sections 8.1(a)(i) and 8.1(b)(i), no Member (including Catapult) will have any liability for, and no Parent Indemnity Party will claim, any Indemnity Losses in excess of the Indemnification Cap other than from the R&W Policy.  Other than with respect to Exempted Losses, with respect to Indemnity Losses arising out of a breach of Sections 8.1(a)(ii) and 8.1(a)(iii), no Member (including Catapult) will have any liability for, and no Parent Indemnity Party will claim, any Indemnity Losses in excess of the Retention other than from the R&W Policy.

(e)For the purposes of determining the existence of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty in this Agreement or in calculating Indemnity Losses hereunder (other

49

4855-0363-3265.v2

than the representation and warranty in the third sentence of Section 2.1 (Organizational Status; Authorization), Section 2.4(a) (Financial Statements), Section 2.13 (Absence of Changes), the term “Material Contract,” ‎“Material Customer” or “Material Supplier”‎ or the term or definition “Material Adverse Effect”), each qualification to a representation or warranty by use of the word “material”, “materially”, or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be disregarded.

(f)The Parent Indemnified Parties or the Member Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Indemnity Loss as required under Law after any Parent Indemnified Party or Member Indemnified Party, as applicable, becomes aware of any event which does, or could reasonably be expected to, give rise to any such Indemnity Loss, and shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such efforts. The amount of any Indemnity Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII will be computed net of (i) any insurance or other proceeds actually received by the Claimant or the other Parent Indemnified Parties in connection with such Indemnity Loss, subject to Section 8.9, (ii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment the Claimant or the other Parent Indemnified Parties actually received from any Person with respect to such Indemnity Loss, and (iii) any other payment or monetary recoupment received, realized or retained by the Claimant or other Parent Indemnified Party as a result of the events giving rise to the claim. Any Claimant that becomes aware of Indemnity Losses for which it intends to seek indemnification hereunder will use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue claims and collect any amounts to which it may be entitled under insurance policies or from third parties (pursuant to indemnification agreements or otherwise); provided, that all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Claimant to collect such amounts shall be deemed an Indemnity Loss (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII).

(g)The fact that there exists more than one provision of this Agreement or a Transaction Document giving the right to any Party to assert claims for indemnification for a particular matter or Indemnity Loss, such Party shall have the right, at its election, to make a claim under all or any portion of such provisions, but notwithstanding the fact that any Party may have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision of this Agreement or another agreement entered into in connection herewith in respect of any fact, event, condition or circumstance ‎no Person shall be entitled to recover the same Indemnity Loss suffered by such Person more than once under all such agreements in respect of such fact, event, condition or circumstance or if such amount was included in the calculation of Working Capital Liabilities, Closing Debt or Transaction Expenses.

(h)No Person shall be liable under this Agreement for any Indemnity Losses suffered, sustained, paid or incurred by the Parent Indemnified Parties or the Member Indemnified Parties, as applicable, after Closing that result from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents if the Person seeking indemnification for such Indemnity Losses had knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach at the time of Closing.

Section 8.9.Insurance Recovery.  

(a)The amount of any Indemnity Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 8.1 or 8.2 shall be net of any amounts actually received by the Parent Indemnified Parties

50

4855-0363-3265.v2

or the Member Indemnified Parties, as applicable, under insurance policies with respect to such Indemnity Loss (after deducting therefrom out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in pursuing or obtaining such insurance proceeds, the amount of any deductible or retention actually paid with regard to such claim by Parent Indemnified Parties or Members Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and the amount of any increased premium amounts directly attributable to such claim).  The Parent Indemnified Parties or the Member Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include commencing litigation or incurring material out-of-pocket costs or expenses) to pursue recovery for Indemnity Losses under any available insurance coverage.

(b)In the event an insurance claim relating to an Indemnity Loss (other than a claim under the R&W Policy) is pending, and has been pending for in excess of ninety (90) days, or the amount of the insurance proceeds is under dispute between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable insurer at the time such Indemnity Loss is to be paid by the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the full amount of such Indemnity Loss (subject to the limitations of this Article VIII), and any insurance proceeds subsequently received by the Claimant or agreed upon by the Indemnifying Party relating to such Indemnity Loss (after the deductions set forth above in Section 8.8(a)) shall be paid by such Parent Indemnified Parties or the Member Indemnified Parties, as applicable, to the Indemnifying Party, up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment with respect to such Indemnity Loss.

Section 8.10.Special Rule for Fraud.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII, in the event any claim for Indemnity Loss under Sections 8.1(a)(i), 8.1(a)(ii), 8.1(b)(i) or 8.3(a) arises out of Fraud, then (a) solely with respect to the underlying claim of Fraud, such representation or warranty shall survive indefinitely and (b) the limitations set forth in Section 8.6, as applicable, shall not apply to any Indemnity Loss that the Parent Indemnified Parties or the Member Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any such breach.

Section 8.11.Exclusive Remedy.  Except as provided in Section 1.10, for specific performance or injunctive relief, and for legal or equitable relief for any claim for Fraud, the right to indemnification under this Article VIII (including recourse to the R&W Policy) shall constitute the sole and exclusive right and remedy available to any Party hereto for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein, in the Escrow Agreement, Transmittal Letter, certificates delivered pursuant to Sections 1.9(a)(xii) and (xiii) or  Section 1.9(b)(vi), or otherwise with respect to the Company, its Assets and Properties, the Business and/or this Agreement, and no Party hereto or any of its Representatives shall seek, assert, initiate or maintain any legal action at law or in equity against any other Party hereto which is directly or indirectly related to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise with respect to the Company, its Assets and Properties, the Business and/or this Agreement. Each Party hereby ‎waives its right to seek any other remedy therefor, ‎whether at law, in equity or otherwise, ‎including any common law claims for breach of contract, ‎contribution or indemnification.

Section 8.12.Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.  To the maximum extent permitted by Law, it is the intention of the parties to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement

51

4855-0363-3265.v2

as an adjustment to the purchase price for all Tax purposes, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly.

Section 8.13.R&W Policy.  Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit Parent or its Affiliates from making any claims or receiving any recoveries under the R&W Policy, whether for breaches under this Agreement or any other claim that may be permitted to be made under the R&W Policy.

Article IX
POST-CLOSING MATTERS

Section 9.1.Taxes.  The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Parent, on one hand, and the Members, on the other hand, for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:

(a)Straddle Period.  In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”): (i) the amount of any real, personal and intangible property taxes, ad valorem taxes and similar obligations (“Property Taxes”) for the portion of such Straddle Period through the end of the Closing Date shall be determined between the period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date and the period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date by prorating such Property Taxes on a daily basis over the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) the amount of any non-Property Taxes (including any income taxes or similar Taxes) for the portion of such Straddle Period through the end of the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time); provided, however, that (x) all exemptions, allowances, or deductions for the entire Straddle Period which are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the two short periods in proportion to the number of days in each period (y) any income, gain, sale or profit realized on the Closing Date but after the Closing and arising from a transaction, action or event outside of the Ordinary Course of Business will be allocated to the post-Closing portion of such Straddle Period, and (z) all Transaction Tax Deductions for a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period.

(b)Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.1, including the remaining provisions of this Section 9.1(b), Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns for the Company that are filed after the Closing Date, including Tax Returns for any Straddle Period (each such Tax Return a “Parent Prepared Return”); provided, however, the Members’ Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared, at its sole cost, and file or cause to be filed all Pass-Through Tax Returns for all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, including (for the avoidance of doubt) the Company’s 2023 IRS Form 1065 and related 2023 state Pass-Through Tax Returns, (each, a “Pre-Closing Pass-Through Tax Return”).  The Pre-Closing Pass-Through Tax Returns and the Parent

Section 10.12.Disclosure Schedules.  The Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement are arranged in sections corresponding to those contained in this Agreement merely for convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules as an exception to any particular covenant, representation or warranty shall be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other covenants, representations or warranties, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an appropriate section or subsection of such schedules with respect to such other covenants, representations or warranties or an appropriate cross-reference thereto, in each case to the extent relevancy of such disclosure to such other covenants, representations or warranties is reasonably apparent.  Additionally, for each of the schedules, the mere inclusion of an item in such schedules as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself and solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in such schedules, that such information is required to be listed in such schedules or that such item (or any non-disclosed item or information of comparable or greater significance) represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance, that such item has had, or is expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect that such item actually constitutes noncompliance with, or a violation of, any Law, Governmental Authorization or Contract or other topic to which such disclosure is applicable or that such item is outside the Ordinary Course of Business.  The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedules is not intended to imply that such amounts (or higher or lower amounts) are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Disclosure Schedules in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item, or matter not described herein or included in a Disclosure Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.  Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules, unless otherwise defined therein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement.

62

4855-0363-3265.v2

any performance or rights election date and time applicable to it on the basis that its late action constitutes substantial performance.  Without limiting the foregoing, time is of the essence in this Agreement.

Section 10.15.Conflict Waiver; Attorney-Client Privilege.  Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, shareholders, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that:

(a)Locke Lord LLP has acted as counsel to the Members’ Representative and the Company in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent agrees, and shall cause the Surviving Company to agree, that, following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, such representation and any prior representation of the Company by Locke Lord LLP (or any successor) (the “Members Group Law Firm”) shall not preclude Members Group Law Firm from serving as counsel to the Members (including the Members’ Representative) or any director, member, shareholder, partner, officer or employee of the Members, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)Parent shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, seek or have Members Group Law Firm disqualified from any such representation based upon the prior representation of the Company by Members Group Law Firm.  Each of the Parties hereto hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising from such prior representation, and each of such Parties shall cause any of its Affiliates to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation.  Each of the Parties acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the Parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection herewith. The covenants, consent and waiver contained in this Section 10.15 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Members Group Law Firm is entitled whether pursuant to law, contract or otherwise .

(c)All communications between the Members, Members’ Representative or the Company, on the one hand, and Members Group Law Firm, on the other hand, relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client privileged and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Members or Members’ Representative and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent or the Surviving Company. Accordingly, Parent and the Surviving Company shall not have access to any Privileged Communications or to the files of Members Group Law Firm relating to such engagement from and after Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (i) the Members (and not Parent or the Surviving Company) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of Parent or the Surviving Company shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Members Group Law Firm in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the Members or Members’ Representative (and neither Parent nor the Surviving Company)

63

4855-0363-3265.v2

shall hold such property rights and (iii) Members Group Law Firm shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to Parent or the Surviving Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Members Group Law Firm and the Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company), on the one hand, and a third party other than any of the Members or Members’ Representative, on the other hand, Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Members’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) is legally required by an order or otherwise legally required to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, then Parent shall immediately (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days) notify the Members’ Representative in writing so that the Members’ Representative can seek a protective order.

(d)This Section 10.15 is intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Members Group Law Firm.
