If the Seller Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Net Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by all Sellers and shall be deemed to represent the final and binding computation of Closing Net Working Capital for purposes of this Section 2.5.

(iii)If the Seller Representative delivers the Statement of Objections to Purchaser before the expiration of the Review Period, (A) any item or amount that is not identified by the Seller Representative in the Statement of Objections as being in dispute shall be deemed to be final and binding as between Purchaser and the Sellers for purposes of this Section 2.5 (subject to any subsequent determination made by the Independent Accountant as provided below), and (B) Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the items that are in dispute as set forth in the Statement of Objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”). If the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Net Working Capital Statement, with such changes thereto as are agreed in writing by Purchaser and the Seller Representative, shall be final and binding for purposes of this Section 2.5. If the Seller Representative and Purchaser fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any items or amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Matters”) shall be submitted for resolution to the Dallas office of Deloitte or, if Deloitte is unable to serve, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Sellers’ accountants or Purchaser’s accountants (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Matters and make any corresponding adjustments to the Net Working Capital Statement as provided herein. If Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to agree on the choice of an accounting firm, then Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall each select a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm by lot (after each submits a list of two Independent Accounting Firms), which firm shall be the “Independent Accountant.” The determination by the Independent Accountant shall be binding and conclusive on Sellers and Purchaser.

(iv)The Independent Accountant shall offer the Seller Representative and Purchaser the opportunity to provide written submissions regarding their positions on the Disputed Matters, which written submissions shall be provided to the Independent Accountant, if at all, no later than twenty (20) days after the date of referral of the disputed matters to the Independent Accountant. The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be based solely on such written submissions by the Seller Representative and Purchaser and their respective representatives and shall not be by independent review. The Independent Accountant shall deliver a written report resolving the Disputed Matters and setting forth the basis for such resolution within twenty (20) days after the Seller Representative and Purchaser submit in writing (or have had the opportunity to submit in writing but have not submitted) their positions as to the Disputed Matters.

The determination of the Independent Accountant with respect to the correctness of each Disputed Matter, and any such accounting or tax reporting impact of such determination on any other matters within the Net Working Capital Calculation, shall be final and binding on Purchaser and Sellers for purposes of this Section 2.5. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be split equally between Sellers and Purchaser; provided, however, that in the event that the Independent Accountant accepts the position of either Purchaser or the Seller Representative in its entirety with respect to the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne entirely by the Party or Parties whose submission to the Independent Accountant was not selected. The Independent Accountant shall conduct its determination activities in a manner wherein all materials submitted to it are held in confidence and shall not be disclosed to third parties. The Parties hereto agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accountant in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced.

In the event the amount of funds in the Working Capital Escrow Deposit exceeds the amount required to be paid to Purchaser under this Section 2.5(c)(ii), then the Escrow Agent, after paying such difference from the Working Capital Escrow Deposit as provided herein, shall (Y) pay to Sellers the remaining funds in the Working Capital Escrow Deposit to Sellers, less the amount of any Farrell Closing Bonus Payment paid or payable by the Company by reason of such release of the remaining Working Capital Escrow Deposit to Sellers, and (Z) disburse to Alan Farrell, on behalf of the Company, the amount of the Farrell Closing Bonus

Payment due to Mr. Farrell by reason of such release of the remaining Working Capital Escrow Deposit to Sellers.

(b)On or prior to June 30, 2019, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers a statement (the “Period 2 Earn-Out Statement”) setting forth the Gross Profits of the Company for the fourteen (14)-month period beginning March 1, 2018 and ending April 30, 2019 (the “Period 2 Gross Profits”). If the Period 2 Gross Profits equal or exceed Fifty-Nine Million, Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($59,700,000), the Period 2 Earn-Out Payment shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) either Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), if the Sellers earned and received a Period 1 Earn-Out Payment under Section 2.6(a), or Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000), if the Sellers did not earn or receive any such Period 1 Earn-Out Payment, less (ii) the amount of any Farrell Closing Bonus Payment paid or payable by the Company by reason of the payment by Purchaser of the portion of the Earn-Out Payment due under this Section 2.6(b). If the Period 2 Gross Profits are less than $59,700,000, then the Sellers shall not be entitled to receive a Period 2 Earn-Out Payment.

(c)The Seller Representative shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of any Earn-Out Statement to notify Purchaser of the Sellers’ election to accept or reject such Earn-Out Statement, during which period Purchaser shall provide the Seller Representative and the Seller Representative’s legal and accounting representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice by the Seller Representative, to such accounting and financial records as may be necessary or relevant to the preparation of the applicable Earn-Out Statement. In the case of a rejection, such notice must contain the reasons for such rejection in reasonable detail and must set forth the amount of the requested adjustment. In the event that no notice is received by Purchaser during such thirty (30) day period, such Earn-Out Statement and the Earn-Out Payment resulting therefrom, if any, shall be deemed accepted by Sellers and final and binding on the Parties for purposes of this Section 2.6. In the event that Sellers, through the Seller Representative, shall timely reject an Earn-Out Statement, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after the date upon which Sellers shall reject such Earn-Out Statement) attempt in good faith to make a joint determination of such Earn-Out Payment, and such determination and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final and binding on the Parties for purposes of this Section 2.6.

(d)Failing resolution pursuant to paragraph (c) above, the disputed portions of such Earn-Out Statement shall be referred to the Independent Accountant referenced in Section 2.5(b)(iii). The amount of the Period 1 Earn-Out Payment or the Period 2 Earn-Out Payment, as the case may be, shall then be

determined by the Independent Accountant pursuant to the processes and procedures set forth in Section 2.5(b)(iv).

(e)Following final determination of each of (i) the Period 1 Gross Profits and (ii) the Period 2 Gross Profits, as applicable, pursuant to subsection (a), the Period 1 Earn-Out Payment and the Period 2 Earn-Out Payment, in each case if any, shall be paid by Purchaser to Sellers (on a pro rata basis based on each Seller’s ownership of Shares as of the Closing) in cash by delivery to Sellers of a wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after final determination. Such wire transfer shall be made to an account or accounts designated in writing by Sellers for such purpose, or alternatively, to a single account established by the Seller Representative for receipt of such Earn-Out Payments and subsequent disbursement to the Sellers as provided herein (in which event payment of the applicable Earn-Out Payment to the single account established by the Seller Representative shall constitute full satisfaction of Purchaser’s obligation in respect of the payment of such Earn-Out Payment, and the Seller Representative shall bear all further responsibility for disbursement of the subject Earn-Out Payment to the other Sellers).

(f)For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate sum of the Period 1 Earn-Out Payment and the Period 2 Earn-Out Payment exceed the amount of (i) Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000), less (ii) the amount of any Farrell Closing Bonus Payments paid or payable by the Company by reason of the payment by Purchaser of the Earn-Out Payments due under this Section 2.6.

(g)The Earn-Out Payments, if any, until paid as set forth in this Section 2.6, shall be subject to offset by Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.3(b)(iii) and Section 9.6(b) of this Agreement.

2.7 Withholdings. In respect of any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, if an amount is required to be deducted and withheld from such payment under the Code, any other applicable Law or any Company Benefit Plan in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and any applicable Transaction Document as having been paid to the Party to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, to the extent such amount is actually withheld and properly and timely remitted to the Governmental Authority or Company Benefit Plan administrator, as applicable. If a Party determines that withholding is required on any payment made by it, then such Party shall give notice to the Party from whom such amounts are to be withheld reasonably in advance of such payment of its intent to withhold and the basis for and the amount of such withholding, and shall provide the Party from whom the monies are withheld an opportunity to respond to the notice of intent to withhold.

for inspection and copying, at the Purchaser’s expense), during normal business hours, to such books, documents, information, data, files and other records (to the extent not previously delivered and already in the possession of Purchaser, the Company), including in connection with claims, proceedings, actions, investigations, audits and other regulatory or legal proceedings involving or relating to the Company; and (iii) will cooperate with Purchaser and the Company (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and without the obligation to incur any out-of-pocket expense) and their respective representatives in connection with any such claims and other proceedings; provided, that such access shall be granted until the later of 7 years following the Closing and the expiration date of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to Tax matters. Each of the Palmer Seller Parties and the Knapp Seller Parties shall not destroy any such books and records without providing Purchaser and the Company with written notice detailing the contents of such books and records, and providing Purchaser and the Company with the opportunity to remove or copy such Records at Purchaser’s expense. If Purchaser or the Company does not respond in writing to any such notice from such Sellers within thirty (30) days of delivery of such notice, or after so responding, does not otherwise take action to remove or copy such Records within ninety (90) days after delivery of such notice, then such Sellers may thereafter dispose of or destroy such Records in its sole discretion.

(b)Subject to Section 7.7, for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall preserve and retain, or cause the Company to preserve and retain, all Records (including any documents relating to any governmental or non-governmental actions, suits, proceedings or investigations) relating to the conduct of the Business and assets, liabilities and operations of the Company prior to the Closing Date. For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Company will not destroy any Records of the Company prepared prior to the Closing without first delivering written notice to each of the Palmer Seller Parties and the Knapp Seller Parties and affording such Sellers the opportunity to remove or copy such Records at such Sellers’ expense. If such Sellers do not respond in writing to any such notice from Purchaser or the Company within thirty (30) days of delivery of such notice, or after so responding, does not otherwise take action to remove or copy such Records within ninety (90) days after delivery of such notice, then Purchaser or the Company may thereafter dispose of or destroy such Records in its sole discretion.

(c)Subject to the obligations of any of the Sellers under Section 6.6 and Section 7.7, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the Company to afford each of the Palmer Seller Parties and the Knapp Seller Parties and their respective counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, upon reasonable prior notice and for reasonable business purposes, reasonable access during normal business hours to the Records of the Company pertaining to the Company’s operations during any period ended on or prior to the Closing Date, including in connection with the preparation of any report or Tax Return required to be filed by such Sellers under applicable Law or otherwise and any accounting statements with respect to or including periods ended on or prior to the Closing Date. Personnel of Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate with such Sellers in the preparation of Tax Returns relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Purchaser agrees that personnel in the tax and accounting group of the Company shall be made available to assist in the preparation of such Tax Returns (but at such times and in a manner so as not to unduly disrupt the normal course of operations of the Company).

6.10 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any party actively is contesting or defending against any Action by any Person not a party hereto in connection with (a) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement, or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary, each of the other parties will cooperate with such party or its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, including entering into a joint defense agreement or confidentiality agreement with respect thereto, all at the sole cost and expense of the

contesting or defending party (unless the contesting or defending party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article 9 below).

6.11 Release and Waiver by Sellers. Effective as of the Closing, each of the Sellers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Company from any and all claims, charges, complaints, causes of action, damages, agreements and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever (“Released Claims”), whether in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Company (including, without limitation, in respect of rights of contribution or indemnification), in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, and whether arising at law or equity, and whether based in contract, tort, fiduciary or other theory of liability, arising from conduct occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any Released Claims relating to or arising out of any such Seller’s ownership of the Shares; provided, that (a) nothing contained in this Section 6.11 shall release the Company or any of its Affiliates from its respective obligations and liabilities under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or constitute a waiver of any claims that any of the Sellers may bring or have for indemnification from Purchaser under Article 7 or Article 9 of this Agreement, and (b) this release shall only relate to those claims arising from conduct occurring on or before the Closing. In granting the foregoing releases, each of the Sellers hereby declares his, her or its intention to release all of the Released Claims, whether known or unknown and whether or not currently suspected. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller further waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Seller shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other similar right or remedy against the Company or Purchaser in connection with any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or obligation of the Company or any Seller set forth in this Agreement or in respect of any other claim arising from conduct occurring on or before the Closing Date.

6.12 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a)For a period of five (5) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), each of the Palmer Seller Parties, the Knapp Seller Parties and, subject to Section 6.12(d) below, the Knapp Additional Parties (each, a “Restricted Party,” and collectively, the “Restricted Parties”) shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Controlled Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Business in the Territory; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Business in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) impede or interfere with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between the Company and the Company Subsidiaries on the one hand, and customers or suppliers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Restricted Parties may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if none of such Restricted Parties, individually or collectively with all such other Restricted Parties and their respective Affiliates, is a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(b)During the Restricted Period, each of the Restricted Parties (subject to Section 6.12(d) below in the case of the Knapp Additional Parties) shall not, and shall cause their respective Controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly through any Person or contractual arrangement:

(i)solicit or recruit for employment any person who at any time on or after the date of this Agreement is a Company Group Employee (as hereinafter defined) or encourage any such Company Group Employee to leave such employment; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (A) a general solicitation (including through search firms or other agents) to the public by general advertising, public job postings or similar methods of solicitation not specifically directed at Company Group Employees or (B) any of such Restricted Parties or any of their respective Controlled Affiliates, directly or indirectly,

from soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Company Group Employee who has then ceased to be employed or retained by the Company, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates for at least six (6) months. For purposes of this Section 6.12(b)(i), “Company Group Employees” means, collectively, officers, employees, sales representatives or other independent contractors of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, but excluding any immediate family member of any of the Restricted Parties; or

(ii)approach or seek to engage in the Business with any Customer (as hereinafter defined), refer sales relating to the Business from any Customer to any Person or be paid commissions based on Business-related sales received from any Customer by any Person, or purchase from any Supplier (as hereinafter defined) to the Company or any Company Subsidiary finished goods or raw materials for use in manufacturing, assembling or otherwise producing finished good products sold in the Business. For purposes of this Section 6.12(b)(ii), the term “Customer” means any Person to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary sold products or provided services, and the term “Supplier” means any Person from which the Company or any Company Subsidiary purchased finished goods or raw materials for use in the manufacturing, assembly or production of finished good products sold in the Business, in each case, during the 24-month period prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any referral of purchases, sales or other Business-related activity by any of the Restricted Parties or any of their respective Controlled Affiliates to the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

(c)Each of the Restricted Parties acknowledges that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.12 are an essential element of this Agreement and that any breach or threatened breach by any of such Restricted Parties or any of their respective Controlled Affiliates of any provision of this Section 6.12 will result in irreparable injury to Purchaser and the Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Each of the Restricted Parties acknowledges that in the event of such a breach, in addition to all other remedies available at law (including damages), Purchaser and the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond) and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits or other benefits arising therefrom. Each of the Restricted Parties has independently consulted with its, his or her counsel and after such consultation agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.12 are reasonable and proper to protect the legitimate interests of Purchaser and the Company following the Closing and constitute a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.12 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.12 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.12, a Knapp Additional Party shall be bound by and obligated under this Section 6.12 in his or her individual capacity only if and after such date as such Knapp Additional Party receives any portion of the Purchase Price in any form from a Knapp Seller Party or any Affiliate of a Knapp Seller Party, whether through distributions of trust assets or earnings, loans, inheritance, or other forms of funds or asset transfers.

6.13 Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until the Closing, each Party hereto shall, and each of the Palmer Seller Parties and the Knapp Seller Parties shall cause the Company to, use commercially

reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article 8 hereof.

6.14 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the Parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Controlled Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE 7.

TAX MATTERS

7.1 Tax Covenants.

(a)Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, Sellers shall not, to the extent it may affect, or relate to, the Company or any Company Subsidiary, make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Purchaser or the Company in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as a “Prohibited Tax Action”). Sellers agree that Purchaser is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any Prohibited Tax Action taken after the date of this Agreement by any of Sellers, the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Section 7.1(a), and Sellers further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and the Company against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset.

(b)All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) (“Transfer Taxes”), if any, shall be borne and paid by Sellers when due. Sellers shall, at their own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Transfer Taxes (and Purchaser shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(c)Sellers shall cause to be timely prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and applicable Law all Tax Returns for Income Taxes required to be filed by Sellers with respect to the income of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, including for those jurisdictions and Governmental Authorities that permit or require a short period Tax Return for Income Taxes, for the period ending on the Closing Date, and shall pay any and all Income Taxes with respect thereto. Without undue disruption to the operations of the Company, Purchaser shall cause the Company to cooperate fully and promptly with Sellers and Sellers’ professional accounting and tax advisors in connection with Sellers’ preparation and filing of such Tax Returns for Income Taxes required to be filed by Sellers with respect to income of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods. The books and records of the Company will be maintained, and the Tax Returns for Income Taxes of the Company will be filed, so as to accurately reflect the operations of the Company through the end of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, all deductions for Seller Transaction Expenses, Company Employee Closing Payments and payments made in respect of employee compensation shall be reflected on the Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods to the extent paid by any Seller or paid or accrued by the Company as of the Closing Date.

(d)Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by Purchaser to the Seller Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent reasonably requested by Sellers, supporting documentation) at least forty-five (45) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such

Tax Return. If the Seller Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return, the Seller Representative shall, within twenty (20) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Purchaser in writing that the Seller Representative so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by Purchaser of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant and any determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final. The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within twenty (20) days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the parties agree to file for any available extension. If an extension is not available, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Purchaser and then amended to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Sellers. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Purchaser.

7.2 Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date none of the Company, Sellers or any of Sellers’ Affiliates, nor any of their respective Representatives, shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

7.3 Tax Indemnification.

(a)From and after the Closing, except to the extent treated as a liability in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, each of the Palmer Seller Parties, jointly and severally as among such Palmer Seller Parties up to the Palmer Seller Parties’ applicable Seller Indemnity Percentage of any such Losses, and each of the Knapp Seller Parties and the Knapp Additional Parties, jointly and severally as among such Knapp Seller Parties and Knapp Additional Parties up to the Knapp Seller Parties’ applicable Seller Indemnity Percentage of any such Losses, shall indemnify the Company, Purchaser and each Purchaser Indemnified Person and hold them harmless from and against (a) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 3.21 (Tax Matters); (b) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation by Sellers in this Article 7; (c) all Taxes of the Company or relating to the business or assets of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, except to the extent accrued and taken into account in the determination of the final Closing Net Working Capital; (d) all Taxes owing by any Person (other than the Company) for which the Company may be liable where the liability of the Company for such Taxes is attributable to an event or transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date, including, without limitation, in respect of any Taxes payable by the Sellers; (e) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any successor or comparable provisions of foreign, state or local Law; (f) any and all Taxes of any person imposed on the Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by Contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date; and (g) any Losses resulting from any action of Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives at any time, or any action of the Company or its Affiliates prior to the Closing, in violation of Section 7.1(a); in each of the above cases in clauses (a) through (g), together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith or in enforcing its rights hereunder. For purposes of clarity, it is expressly understood and agreed by the Parties that in no event shall the liability of the Palmer Seller Parties as a group, the liability of the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund, or the liability of the Knapp Seller Parties as a group, for any Taxes or Losses

of Purchaser Indemnified Persons under this Section 7.3 exceed their respective Seller Indemnity Percentage of such Taxes or Losses.

(b)Purchaser shall indemnify each Seller and each Seller Indemnified Person and hold them harmless from and against any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation by Purchaser in this Article 7.

(c)The Palmer Seller Parties, jointly and severally as among such Palmer Seller Parties up to the Palmer Seller Parties’ applicable Seller Indemnity Percentage, and the Knapp Seller Parties and the Knapp Additional Parties, jointly and severally as among such Knapp Seller Parties and Knapp Additional Parties up to the Knapp Seller Parties’ applicable Seller Indemnity Percentage, shall reimburse Purchaser for any Taxes of the Company that are the responsibility of the Sellers pursuant to this Section 7.3 within ten (10) Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Purchaser or the Company, net of any amounts that were accrued and taken into account in respect of such Taxes in the determination of the final Closing Net Working Capital. Should any of such Sellers not make full payment of any such obligations under this Section 7.3(c) within such ten (10) Business Day period:

(i)any amount payable under this Section 7.3 shall accrue interest from the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day Period to and including the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to five (5%) per annum. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding;

(ii)Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option and with written notice to such Sellers and the Seller Representative, satisfy such payment obligation of a Seller out of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (subject to any obligation of such Sellers under the Escrow Agreement to restore any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit so disbursed);

(iii)Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option and with written notice to such Sellers and the Seller Representative, satisfy such payment obligation of any of the Sellers by offset against the portion of any Earn-Out Payment that is then due or subsequently becomes due to such Seller under Section 2.6; and

(iv)the foregoing remedies shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or remedies to which Purchaser is or may be entitled at law or in equity or under this Agreement (including any exhibits hereto) or otherwise, including without limitation under Section 9.7 of this Agreement.

7.4 Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:

(a)in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(b)in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

7.5 Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(a)Election. At the Closing, the Company and each Seller shall join with Purchaser in making a timely election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign Law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares of the Company hereunder (collectively, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). Sellers shall pay any Tax attributable to the making of the

Section 338(h)(10) Election and Sellers shall indemnify Purchaser and the Company against any adverse consequences arising out of any failure by Sellers to pay any such Taxes.

(b)Allocation of Purchase Price.

(i)Sellers and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price and the Liabilities of the Company (plus other relevant items included within the “consideration received” as defined in Section 1060(a) of the Code) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company, the covenants of the Palmer Seller Parties and the Knapp Seller Parties set forth in Section 6.12 hereof and the covenants of the Seller Beneficiaries as contemplated under Section 8.2(i) for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as determined by RSM McGladrey, an independent third-party valuation firm mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and the Seller Representative, and otherwise based upon and in accordance with the determinations and methodology set forth on Schedule 7.5(b) (the “Allocation”), with such Allocation to be delivered by Purchaser to the Seller Representative within ninety (90) days following the Closing; provided, however, that the Allocation shall not depart from the methodology set forth on Schedule 7.5(b) and shall not change the Parties’ agreed-upon allocation of ordinary income vs. capital gains items as set forth in such methodology. If the Seller Representative shall disagree with such Allocation, including without limitation by reason of any deviation from the methodology or allocation of ordinary income vs. capital gains items set forth on Schedule 7.5(b), the Seller Representative shall notify Purchaser in writing on or before the date that is twenty (20) days after the date on which Purchaser delivers such Allocation to the Seller Representative. If the Seller Representative fails to deliver written notice of his disagreement before the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Allocation prepared by Purchaser shall be deemed to have been accepted by Sellers and shall be deemed to represent the final and binding Allocation for purposes of this Section 7.5. Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such disagreements presented by the Seller Representative. If Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve all such disagreements on or before the date that is twenty (20) days following notification by the Seller Representative of any such disagreements, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall retain the Independent Accountant as determined pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 2.5(b)(iii) for the purposes of resolving disputes about the Allocation. Such Independent Accountant shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(b)(iv) in resolving any such disputes.

(ii)Purchaser and Sellers shall (A) be bound by the Allocation for all Tax purposes; (B) prepare and file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) in a manner consistent with the Allocation; and (C) take no position inconsistent with the Allocation in any Tax Return, any proceeding before any taxing authority or otherwise. In the event that the Allocation is disputed by any taxing authority, the Party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other Party and keep the other Party apprised of material developments concerning resolution of such dispute.

(iii)Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5, Article 7 or Article 9 hereof shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation.

7.6 Contests.

(a)Purchaser agrees to give written notice to the Seller Representative of the receipt of any written notice by the Company, Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Purchaser pursuant to this Article 7 (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Purchaser’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that Sellers’ rights and obligations have been prejudiced thereby.

(b)Purchaser shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim except for (i) a Tax Claim that relates solely to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Pre-Closing Tax Claim”), which shall instead be controlled by the Seller Representative as provided below, and (ii) a Tax Claim that relates to periods both

before and after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period Tax Claim”), which shall instead be jointly controlled by Purchaser and the Seller Representative as provided below. With respect to any Tax Claim controlled solely by Purchaser, Purchaser shall obtain the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such claim or ceasing to defend such claim, and the Seller Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of the Seller Representative’s choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Sellers.

(c)The Seller Representative shall control the contest or resolution of any Pre-Closing Tax Claim; provided, however, that Seller Representative shall obtain the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such claim or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided further, that Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Purchaser.

(d)Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall be jointly responsible for the control and contest or resolution of any Straddle Period Tax Claim. If Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve disagreements relating to any such Straddle Period Tax Claim, including but not limited to any proposed settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim, then Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall retain the Independent Accountant as determined pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 2.5(b)(iii) for the purposes of resolving disputes about such claim. Such Independent Accountant shall follow the substantive procedures set forth in Section 2.5(b)(iv) in resolving any such disputes. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Sellers.

7.7 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Sellers and Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article 7 or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of Sellers and Purchaser shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Sellers or Purchaser (as the case may be) shall provide the other party with reasonable written notice and offer the other party the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

7.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article 7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

7.9 Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.21 and this Article 7 shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations under Tax Law (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation, tolling or extension thereof) plus sixty (60) days.

7.10 Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article 9 may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Article 7, the provisions of this Article 7 shall govern.

9.5 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article 9 is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article 9 is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(a)Direct Claims. Subject to the applicable time periods set forth in Section 9.1, and with reasonable promptness after becoming aware of a claim (a “Direct Claim”) for indemnification under this Agreement that does not involve a Third Party Claim as described in Section 9.5(b), the Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim, which notice shall specify the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim, the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations alleged to have been breached and the amount that the Indemnified Party seeks hereunder from the Indemnifying Party, together with such information, to the extent such information is reasonably available, as may be reasonably necessary for the Indemnifying Party to determine that the limitations in Section 9.4 have been satisfied or do not apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the failure of the Indemnified Party to give written notice of, or information regarding, a claim under this Article 9 shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or is otherwise prejudiced by the failure or delay in delivering notice of the claim. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall thereafter reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to allow the Indemnifying Party and such advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim, including without limitation through the provision of such additional information (including, if reasonably requested, entering into a joint defense agreement so that privileged information can be shared) and reasonable assistance (including reasonable access with advance notice and during normal business hours to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any pertinent accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. The Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days from the date of delivery of the Indemnified Party’s notice of Direct Claim to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond in writing within such sixty (60) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such Direct Claim, in which case the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall follow the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 11.9.

(b)Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense; Settlement and Compromise.

(i)If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or is otherwise prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(ii)The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall

not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person identified on Schedule 9.5(b)(ii), or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 9.5(b)(iii), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.5(b)(iii), pay, compromise, and defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.6) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(iii)The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) make any settlement or compromise of a Third Party Claim except if such settlement or compromise (A) is for monetary damages only, (B) includes a full release of the Indemnified Party, (C) does not create an obligation, restriction or Loss imposed on the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party will not be fully reimbursed by reason of the indemnification provided under this Agreement and (D) does not contain an admission of guilt or liability.

(iv)If the Indemnifying Party disputes a claim for indemnification or any portion thereof under this Section 9.5(b), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing (which writing shall set forth the grounds for such objection) within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice of such claim for indemnification, whereupon the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 11.9. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond in writing within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have disputed such Third Party Claim.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.21 (Tax Matters) hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article 7) shall be governed exclusively by Article 7 hereof.

9.6 Payments.

(a)Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article 9, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within twenty (20) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such twenty (20) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of

agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to eight (8%) per annum. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.6, any indemnification obligation of a Seller or Sellers under this Article 9 in respect of a Purchaser Indemnified Person shall first be satisfied out of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (and subject to any obligation of such Seller or Sellers under the Escrow Agreement to restore to the Escrow Account any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit so disbursed in respect of any unpaid Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing Date, Seller Transaction Expenses or any Taxes for Pre-Closing Periods), and in the event that there are no remaining funds on deposit in the Escrow Account or the amounts on deposit therein are insufficient to satisfy such indemnity obligation, then directly by the applicable Seller or Sellers. In addition, in the event that it has been finally determined pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that any of the Sellers shall have an indemnification obligation to any Purchaser Indemnified Person in respect of a claim that has been asserted in accordance with this Article 9, Purchaser shall have the right, with prior written notice delivered to the Seller Representative and the affected Seller, to offset the amount thereof against the portion of any Earn-Out Payment that is then due and payable to such Seller or Sellers closest in time to the date of such offset. In the event that there is a pending claim for indemnification that has been asserted under this Article 9 but that has not been finally resolved on the date that any Earn-Out Payment is due, Purchaser may withhold from such Earn-Out Payment an amount equal to the Purchaser’s good faith estimate of the potential or disputed claim until such claim is finally resolved in accordance with this Agreement. No limitation on the Purchaser’s ability to exercise the rights set forth in this Section 9.6(b) shall affect the Indemnified Party’s other rights hereunder or otherwise. Such remedy shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any injunctive relief or other rights or remedies to which any Indemnified Party is or may be entitled at law or in equity or under this Agreement (including any exhibits hereto) or otherwise.

9.7 Covenants of Seller Trusts to Retain Portion of Net Purchase Price Received. In support of the Sellers’ obligations under Article 7 and this Article 9, each of the Palmer Seller Parties and the Knapp Seller Parties that is a trust (each a “Seller Trust Party” and collectively the “Seller Trust Parties”) agrees that, until the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date or, if any claims by a Purchaser Indemnified Person under Article 7 or this Article 9 are then pending against any of such Seller Trust Parties as of such anniversary date, until such date as all such then-pending claims against such Seller Trust Parties are finally resolved pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Seller Trust Party shall:

(a)maintain its existence, and not revoke its status or dissolve or liquidate, or take any action to revoke its status or to dissolve or liquidate; and

(b)retain in such trust “Net Tangible Assets” with a value at least equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of (i) the portions of the Closing Cash Payment and any Earn-Out Payments (in each case, as finally determined pursuant to this Agreement) actually received by such Seller Trust Party under this Agreement, less (ii) any and all Taxes payable by such Seller Trust Party in respect to the portions of the Closing Cash Payment and any Earn-Out Payments actually received by such Seller Trust Party, less (iii) any portion of Seller Transaction Expenses paid or otherwise borne by such Seller Trust Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this subparagraph (b), the term “Net Tangible Assets” means total tangible assets less any liabilities.

9.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

9.9 Effect of Investigation. The right to indemnification and payment of Losses of an Indemnified Party or for other remedies based on any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of any party hereto contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable or being acquired) at any time, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation.

9.10 Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 6.12 (Non-Competition) and Section 11.16 (Specific Performance), the Parties acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article 7 and this Article 9. In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article 7 and this Article 9. Nothing in this Section 9.10 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

ARTICLE 10.

(ii)if any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by June 30, 2018, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Purchaser to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or

(iii)otherwise pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.4(b)(ii) or Section 6.4(b)(iii).

(ii)any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by June 30, 2018, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of any Seller to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by any Seller prior to the Closing; or

(e)by Purchaser or the Seller Representative, by delivery of written notice to the other Parties hereto, in the event that (i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable.

10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement prior to the Closing in accordance with this Article 10, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party hereto except that:

(a)the provisions set forth in Section 6.6 (Confidentiality; Prohibitions on Securities Trading Based on Non-Public Information), this Article 10 (Termination) and Article 11 (Miscellaneous) (collectively, the “Surviving Provisions”) shall survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with their terms; and

(b)in the case of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to either of Section 10.1(c) or Section 10.1(d), nothing herein shall relieve any Party hereto from liability for any breach by such Party of any provision of this Agreement occurring prior to the effective date of such termination.

ARTICLE 11.

Each Party hereto shall bear its own fees and expenses (including, without limitation, all obligations to financial advisors, and fees and expenses of brokers, finders, accountants and lawyers) with respect to the preparation and execution of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except to the extent that it has been finally determined pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that such costs and expenses represent Losses indemnifiable under this Agreement; provided that Sellers shall bear all fees and expenses incurred by the Company prior to the Closing in connection with, relating to or arising out of the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and provided further that as additional Seller Transaction Expenses, Sellers shall pay directly or reimburse to Purchaser the amount of $62,500 for one-half of the Hart-Scott-Rodino filing fee.

11.4 Waivers. Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the failure of a Party to require performance of any provision hereof shall not affect its right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by a Party of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained herein shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Party to be bound, and then only to the specific purpose, extent and instance so provided. No such waiver in any one instance shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of any such term, covenant, representation or warranty in any other instance.

11.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic submission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

11.6 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws (both substantive and procedural) of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

11.7 Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment or delegation without such prior written consent shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.7, at or after the Closing:

(a)Purchaser may, without the consent of Sellers, assign its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate of Purchaser or to a successor Person of Purchaser in connection with a change of control or sale of substantially all the assets of Purchaser or the Company, and may collaterally assign its rights to Purchaser’s financing sources, provided that (i) advance notice of the assignment is given to Sellers, and (ii)

such Affiliate, successor or financing source agrees or confirms their agreement in writing for the benefit of Sellers to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement in all respects and to the same extent as Purchaser is bound;

(b)A Seller may assign his or her rights hereunder by will, to one or more trusts for the benefit of themselves or their heirs or by the laws of intestate succession.

Any assignment permitted under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall not limit or release the assigning Party from its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.7, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns.

11.8 Parties in Interest; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the rights of Indemnified Parties under Article 9, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and those Persons (or categories of Persons) specifically described herein, and, except as aforesaid, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any remedy, claim or right upon any third Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties expressly confirm their agreement that, in addition to Sellers and Purchaser, the other Seller Indemnified Persons and the Purchaser Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, shall also enjoy the benefits of indemnities made herein which are expressly stated to be in their favor. In this regard, the Parties agree that such Persons shall have the right to enforce those provisions directly against the applicable Indemnifying Party.

11.9 Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.

(a)Except as provided in Section 2.5 of this Agreement, from and after the Closing, any dispute, difference, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, including but not limited to indemnification under, or the breach, termination or validity thereof (“Dispute”), shall be submitted first for resolution to the Seller Representative and senior executives of Purchaser who have decision-making authority. The Party that believes that a Dispute exists (the “Disputing Party”) shall put such Dispute in writing to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”). Such writing shall briefly and clearly state the substance and scope of the Dispute, the Disputing Party’s relative position thereto and include any legal or factual justifications of which the Disputing Party is aware and the remedy being sought. The Receiving Party shall respond to such writing from the Disputing Party within fifteen (15) days of its receipt thereof and set forth its positions with respect to each item included in the Disputing Party’s writing. Within thirty (30) days of the responding Party’s response, the Seller Representative and senior executives of Purchaser who have decision-making authority shall meet at a mutually agreeable place and time to seek, in good faith, an amicable settlement to the Dispute. All reasonable requests for information from one Party shall be honored by the other Party, subject to Section 11.9(d) hereof. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the process of the procedures in this Section 11.9(a) by any of the Parties, their agents, employees, experts and/or attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration, litigation or other proceeding involving the Parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the foregoing procedures. Following the procedures set forth above in this Section 11.9(a) by a Party is a condition precedent to such Party’s resorting to the resolution processes specified below in this Section 11.9. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if either the Disputing Party or the Receiving Party fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 11.9(a), the other Party may commence a proceeding under this Section 11.9 without itself further complying with Section 11.9(a).

(b)Except as set forth in Section 2.5 and Section 11.9(e) hereof, any Dispute not settled by the Parties as provided in Section 11.9(a) within ten (10) days after the meeting held pursuant to Section

11.9(a) or if such meeting is not held within twenty (20) days following delivery by the Disputing Party of its notice of the Dispute, shall be finally settled under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), unless otherwise agreed, by an arbitral tribunal composed of three (3) arbitrators, at least one (1) of whom shall be an attorney experienced in corporate transactions, appointed by agreement of Purchaser and the Seller Representative in accordance with said Rules. In the event that Purchaser and the Seller Representative fail to agree upon a panel of arbitrators from the first list of potential arbitrators proposed by the AAA, the AAA will submit a second list in accordance with such Rules. In the event that Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall have failed to agree upon a full panel of arbitrators from such second list, any remaining arbitrators to be selected shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with such Rules. If at the time of the arbitration Purchaser and the Seller Representative agree in writing to submit the Dispute to a single arbitrator, such single arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement of Purchaser and the Seller Representative in connection with the foregoing procedure or, failing such agreement by the AAA, in accordance with such Rules. All arbitrators shall be neutral arbitrators and subject to Rule 19 of the Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada, or such other location as Purchaser and the Seller Representative may mutually agree.

(c)The arbitrators shall apply the laws of the State of Delaware, shall not have the authority to add to, detract from, or modify any provision hereof and shall not award punitive damages to any injured party. A decision by a majority of the arbitrators shall be final, conclusive and binding. The arbitrators shall deliver a written and reasoned award with respect to the Dispute to each of the parties to the dispute, difference, controversy or claim, who shall promptly act in accordance therewith.

(d)The arbitration proceedings conducted pursuant hereto shall be confidential. No Party shall disclose any information about the arbitration proceedings or the evidence adduced by the other Parties in any arbitration proceeding or about documents provided by the other Parties in connection with the proceeding except in the course of a judicial, regulatory or arbitration proceeding or as may be requested by a Governmental Authority or as required or advisable under law or exchange rules. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall give the other Parties reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure. The Parties shall sign, and the arbitrator, expert witnesses and stenographic reporters shall be asked to sign, appropriate non-disclosure agreements or orders in order to effectuate this Agreement of the Parties as to confidentiality.

(e)The Parties hereby exclude any right of appeal to any court on the merits of the Dispute other than on the basis of an abuse of discretion by the arbitrator(s). The provisions of this Section 11.9 may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction over the award or any of the Parties or any of their respective assets, and judgment on the award (including without limitation equitable remedies) granted in any arbitration hereunder may be entered in any such court. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.9, nothing contained in this Section 11.9 shall preclude or prevent any Party from seeking specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the need to resort to arbitration. Each Party agrees and consents that any suit, action or proceeding brought by such Party against any other party to enforce an arbitration award or to seek specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with or arising from this Agreement or to enforce Section 6.3 or Section 6.12 shall be brought in the Federal Courts of the United States of America or the Courts of Utah, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 11.9 shall not apply to Disputes regarding the determination of the Purchase Price or any adjustment thereto pursuant to Section 2.5 above, which Disputes will be resolved in accordance with Section 2.5. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.9, or otherwise, shall limit the right of any Party to this Agreement to seek judicial equitable relief,

specific performance or other equitable relief available to it under applicable statutory and/or case law, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief to enforce the covenants set forth in Section 6.3 or Section 6.12 and any applicable Transaction Document.

(g)NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASSIGNEE, SUCCESSOR, HEIR OR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF A PARTY SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER AGREEMENTS OR THE DEALINGS OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION, IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED, WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.9(g) HAVE BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY THE PARTIES HERETO, AND THESE PROVISIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS. NO PARTY HERETO HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.9(g) WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

11.10 Schedules. Any information disclosed pursuant to any Schedule hereto shall be deemed to be disclosed to Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement so long as the relevance of the item to other portions of the Agreement is reasonably apparent on its face. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the Ordinary Course of Business, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not in the Ordinary Course of Business for purposes of this Agreement.

11.11 Incorporation. The respective Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein are incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement.

11.12 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the Parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

11.13 Press Releases. Purchaser will consult with the Seller Representative before issuing (or causing the Company to issue) any press release announcing the signing or closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and will provide the Seller Representative with a reasonable opportunity to comment on the form of any such press release. Sellers and their respective Affiliates shall not issue any such press release or make any public statement about this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) of Purchaser both as to the making of such release or statement and as to the form and content thereof, except to the extent that Sellers are advised by counsel, in good faith, that such release or statement is required as a matter of Law, in which case Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to allow Purchaser reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement and the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable

release or announcement to be issued; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude communications or disclosures necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement.

11.14 Appointment of Seller Representative.

(a)By execution of this Agreement, each Seller and each of the Knapp Additional Parties hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints Jeffery W. Palmer and any replacement representative appointed pursuant to Section 11.14(b) to act as the Seller Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and all other Transaction Documents, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, as his, her or its representative and true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent to act in his, her or its name, place and stead with respect to all matters arising in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including the power and authority, in his, her or its sole discretion, to:

(i)execute and deliver on behalf of any Seller the Escrow Agreement and any other Transaction Document;

(ii)take any action contemplated to be taken by any Seller or any of the Knapp Additional Parties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including pursuant to Article 7 and Article 9 and Section 11.9;

(iii)negotiate, determine, defend and settle any disputes that may arise under or in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article 7 or Article 9 or any dispute under Section 11.9; and

(iv)make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any releases, assurances, receipts, requests, instructions, notices, agreements, certificates and any other instruments, and generally do any and all things and take any and all actions that may be requisite, proper or advisable on behalf of such Seller or Additional Knapp Party in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including pursuant to Article 7, Article 9 or Section 11.9.

(b)The appointment of the Seller Representative may not be revoked except in accordance with this Section 11.14(b). The Seller Representative may be removed as the Seller Representative and replaced with another individual by unanimous written agreement among Sellers; provided that such removal shall not be effective as against Purchaser until the third (3rd) calendar day following delivery to Purchaser of written notice thereof. The Seller Representative may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice of such resignation to Purchaser and the other Sellers. In the event of the Seller Representative’s disability that materially and adversely affects the Seller Representative’s ability to perform his or her duties for a period in excess of thirty (30) calendar days, or in the event of the death of the Seller Representative, he or she shall automatically be removed as the Seller Representative, without any action on the part of Purchaser or the other Sellers. In the event of the Seller Representative’s resignation, death or disability as described in this Section 11.4(b), remaining Sellers shall in good faith promptly appoint and notify Purchaser of a replacement Seller Representative, and in no event later than thirty (30) days following any such resignation, death or disability. The appointment of a replacement Seller Representative shall in all instances be subject to the written approval of Purchaser, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c)The Seller Representative shall not be liable to any Seller or any Seller Beneficiary for any act done or omitted as the Seller Representative while acting in accordance with this Agreement and in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the written advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

11.15 Provision Respecting Legal Representation. Purchaser agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons, that, following the Closing, Kirton McConkie, PC, may serve as

counsel to Sellers and/or their Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, notwithstanding any representation by Kirton McConkie, PC prior to the Closing Date of the Company. Purchaser and the Company hereby (i) waive any claim they have or may have that Kirton McConkie, PC has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation, and (ii) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser and/or the Company, on the one hand, and Sellers and/or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, Kirton McConkie, PC may represent Sellers or any of their Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Purchaser or the Company and even though Kirton McConkie, PC may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser, the Company and a third Party other than a Party to this Agreement after the Closing, the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Kirton McConkie, PC to such third Party; provided, however, that neither Purchaser or the Company may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Sellers.

11.16 Specific Performance; Cumulative Remedies. Each Party acknowledges that the other Parties shall be irreparably harmed and that there shall be no adequate remedy at law for any violation by any of them of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to, but not in lieu of, any other remedies that may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements (including, without limitation, monetary damages), each Party shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to obtain specific performance of, the other Parties’ covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. All rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement or applicable Law.

11.17 Attorneys’ Fees. If any Party to this Agreement retains the services of an attorney to enforce any of its rights (including without limitation any action by any Party to collect any obligation hereunder, including any participation in bankruptcy proceedings to enforce a right or claim against a Party in such proceedings) hereunder, and obtains a judgment or order enforcing such rights, and is determined to be the prevailing Party, it shall be entitled to recover from the defending Party or Parties reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses therefor. Attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing any judgment in respect of this Agreement are recoverable as a separate item. The preceding sentence is intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and to survive any judgment.

11.18 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Except as provided in Section 6.12, upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, 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 contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.19 Mutual Drafting. Each of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents is the mutual product of the Parties, and each provision hereof and thereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of each of the Parties. In the event that an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, each of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and according to the application of the rules of interpretation of contracts, and

no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

11.20 Further Actions. From time to time, promptly following receipt of a written request from a Party hereto, each Party agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and instruments, and shall take, or cause to be taken (but without the obligation to incur any additional expense), such further or other actions as may reasonably be requested and required to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, including to transfer, assign and deliver to Purchaser, effective as of the Closing, the Shares (or to evidence the foregoing), and to consummate and give effect to the other transactions, covenants and agreements contemplated hereby.

11.21 Exculpation of Trustees of Seller Trust Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any certificate or instrument hereunder by any person as a trustee of any Seller Trust Party are done solely in such person’s capacity as a trustee in the exercise of and under the power and authority conferred upon and invested in such trustee under the applicable trust instrument, and not in such person’s individual capacity, and (b) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any personal obligation of such person to perform (other than in such person’s capacity as trustee) any covenant, either express or implied, of such Seller Trust Party contained herein. Any liability of a Seller Trust Party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be only that of such Seller Trust Party to the full extent of its trust estate and shall not be a personal liability of any trustee, grantor or beneficiary thereof except to the extent that any such trustee, grantor or beneficiary has executed this Agreement in another capacity and otherwise agreed to be personally liable for such obligation pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement.

11.22 Provisions Applicable to Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund. Each Party hereto acknowledges that Fidelity Charity Gift Fund is a public charity. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, each of the Parties further acknowledges and agrees that the Fidelity Charity Gift Fund is not (a) making any representations or warranties other than those expressly set forth in Section 4.3 hereof, and in each such case, solely as to the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund and not as to the Company or any of the other Sellers, (b) agreeing to any indemnification obligations, including, without limitation, those set forth in Article 7 and Article 9 of this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the Palmer Seller Parties, the Knapp Seller Parties and the Knapp Additional Parties, jointly and severally, shall instead be responsible for what would otherwise be the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund’s proportionate share of such indemnification obligations in accordance with the terms of such Articles), or (c) agreeing to any affirmative or negative covenants of the Sellers other than such covenants of the Sellers set forth in in Section 2.1 (Purchase and Sale), Section 2.4(c) (Closing), Section 6.11 (Release and Waiver by Sellers), Article 7 (Tax Matters, but excluding Section 7.3 thereof), Section 11.2 (Amendment) and Section 11.14 (Appointment of Seller Representative). Each of the Parties further agrees that the aggregate amount of all post-Closing monetary obligations of the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund hereunder shall not exceed the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund’s pro rata share (based on its relative ownership of Shares as of the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing) of amounts (if any) paid from the Escrow Deposits or offset against any Earn-Out Payments, and any such obligations of the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund shall be satisfied solely and exclusively from such amounts.
