SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Share Purchase Agreement (as may be amended from time to time, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November 13, 2024, by and between: Kpler Holding SA, a Belgian corporation (“Buyer Parent”), and Spire Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller Parent”). Buyer Parent and Seller Parent are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties.” Certain other capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

Recitals

A. Seller Parent is engaged, directly and indirectly through certain of its Subsidiaries, in the business line of aggregating, analyzing and delivering global vessel data obtained from space-based sensor networks for ship monitoring, ship safety and route optimization in the maritime industry (such business line as presently conducted by Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries and excluding the Retained Businesses, the “Business”).

B. Buyer Parent desires to purchase the Business from Seller Parent, and Seller Parent desires to sell the Business to Buyer Parent, with such transaction to be effected by (1) the consummation of the Pre-Closing Reorganization (as defined below), which will (among other things) result in certain assets and liabilities relating to the Business being held by (a) exactEarth Ltd., a corporation existing under the federal laws of Canada (“CanadaCo”), (b) exactEarth Europe Ltd., a private company organized under the laws of England and Wales and a wholly owned subsidiary of CanadaCo (“UKCo”), (c) a newly formed Delaware limited liability company (“USCo”), (d) a newly formed Luxembourg entity (“LuxCo”), and (e) a newly formed Singapore entity (“SingaporeCo”), (2) the transfer all of the outstanding Equity Interests (the “Purchased Equity”) of CanadaCo, USCo, LuxCo and SingaporeCo (the “Direct Target Companies” and, together with UKCo, the “Target Companies”) by those Seller Parties holding such Equity Interests (the “Sellers”) to Buyer Parent or its applicable Subsidiaries (the “Buyers”), and (3) one or more Buyers hiring certain specified personnel from other Subsidiaries of Seller Parent, in each case upon the terms and subject to conditions of this Agreement.

C. In light of the integration of the Business with Seller Parent’s other operations, upon the Closing, (1) Seller Parent and Buyer Parent will enter into a transition services agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, providing for the temporary provision by Seller Parent to the Business of certain services on a transitional basis (the “Transition Services Agreement”), (2) a long-term agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit D, providing for the provision by the Business of certain data to the Seller Parties (the “Reverse Data Supply Agreement”); (3) the Authorized Reseller Agreement (as defined below); and (4) the RF Data License (as defined below).

D. Seller Parent and its Subsidiaries engage in activities, operations and businesses (including the Retained Businesses) that are not part of the Business and are not transferring to Buyer as part of the Transactions. Prior to the Closing, Seller Parties shall undertake the actions described on Exhibit C and such other actions as Seller Parent may reasonably consider to be necessary to effect the separation from the Target Companies and the retention by Seller Parent and its other Subsidiaries (the “Seller Parties”) of such activities, operations and businesses (including the Retained Businesses), including any service providers or employees assets not exclusively used and held for use in the Business that Seller Parent desires to retain (the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”).

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and other premises set forth herein, the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Agreement

Section 1. Description of Transactions

1.1 Pre-Closing Reorganization.

(a) Pre-Closing Reorganization. Seller Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly complete the Pre-Closing Reorganization, provided that the effectiveness of all or any part of the Pre-Closing Reorganization may be conditioned upon the consummation of the Closing. Seller Parent shall keep Buyer Parent reasonably informed with respect to the progress of the Pre-Closing Reorganization, including by providing prompt notice with respect to any delays or difficulties regarding any of the Pre-Closing Reorganization steps.

(b) Non-Assignable Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment as part of the Pre-Closing Reorganization of any asset (including any Permit or Contract), or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom (collectively, the “Interests”) is not permitted by applicable Law or is not permitted without the Consent of any Person which consent has not been obtained at or prior to the Pre-Closing Reorganization, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment of any such Interest (a “Retained Interest”) unless and until such Retained Interest can be sold, conveyed, transferred or assigned or such Consent is obtained, at which time: (i) such Retained Interest shall be deemed to be sold, conveyed, transferred and assigned in accordance with the provisions hereunder, subject to any condition or provision contained in such Consent, whereupon it shall cease to be a Retained Interest, and (ii) the intended recipient of such Interest shall assume the obligations under such Retained Interest. With respect to any Retained Interest, the parties shall take such action as may be necessary to provide that the benefits and burdens of such Retained Interest accrue to the party to whom such Interest is to be transferred in the Pre-Closing Reorganization. After the Closing, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain any consents required for the sale, conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Retained Interests.

(c) Shared Contracts. Schedule 1.1(c) identifies certain contracts that relate to or involve both the Business, on the one hand, and the Retained Businesses, on the other hand (the “Shared Contracts”) and sets forth for each such Shared Contracts the intended treatment of such Shared Contract in the Transactions. The Parties shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such treatment as of the Closing or as soon as practicable thereafter. From the Closing until such time as such treatment may be fully implemented, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to provide that the benefits and burdens of each Shared Contract are allocated to the Business or Retained Businesses, as applicable, consistent with the intent of such treatment.

1.2 Purchase and Sale of Equity. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at and as of the Closing Date, Buyer Parent shall, and shall cause the applicable Buyer(s) to, purchase from the applicable Seller(s), and Seller Parent shall cause the applicable Seller(s) to sell, assign, convey and transfer to the applicable Buyer(s), all of the Purchased Equity.

1.3 Designation of the Buyers and the Sellers. Schedule 1.3 sets forth the currently contemplated Buyers and, for each Buyer, the Purchased Equity to be acquired by such Buyer. Schedule 1.3 may be modified prior to the Closing with reasonable advance written notice by Buyer Parent and subject to Seller Parent’s express written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that Seller Parent has received reasonable assurance that such modification will not cause a delay in the Closing or result in any adverse Tax, legal, business or other consequences for the Seller Parties (including by resulting in an increase in the amount of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from payments to be made thereto).. Seller Parent shall designate the applicable Sellers in connection with Closing.

1.4 Closing. The consummation of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via electronic exchange of closing deliveries on a date to be designated by Seller Parent (the “Closing Date”), which shall be no later than the fifth Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions set forth in Section 8 and Section 9 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) or such other date or time as the Parties mutually agree in writing. All events that occur at the Closing shall be deemed to occur simultaneously.

1.5 Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Target Companies after the Closing and Buyer Parent shall take such action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

2.1 Consideration Generally.

(a) The aggregate consideration payable by the Buyers to the Sellers for the Purchased Equity shall be an amount in cash (such amount, the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) equal to (i) $233,500,000, plus (ii) the Company Cash, minus (iii) the Company Indebtedness, minus (iv) any Company Transaction Expenses, plus (v) the amount, if any, by which the Company Working Capital is greater than Target Working Capital, minus (vi) the amount, if any, by which the Company Working Capital is lower than Target Working Capital.

(b) An estimate of the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.2 (such estimate, the “Closing Purchase Price”) and paid by the Buyers at the Closing as directed by Seller Parent, which estimate shall be subsequently reconciled and adjusted as provided in Section 2.4.

(c) The allocation of the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be as per Section 7.4(a).

2.2 Estimated Closing Statement.

(a) Not later than fourth Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall deliver to Buyer Parent a written schedule (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Seller Parent’s good faith estimate of (i) the Company Cash (the “Estimated Company Cash”), (ii) the Company Working Capital (the “Estimated Company Working Capital”), (iii) the Company Indebtedness (the “Estimated Company Indebtedness”), (iv) the Company Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Company Transaction Expenses”) (v) the Seller Transaction

Expenses (the “Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses”),; and (vi) the resulting Closing Purchase Price determined using such estimates.

(b) The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared based on management’s good faith estimates and in a manner consistent with the Transaction Accounting Principles, including the illustrative calculation of Closing Working Capital included in Exhibit E (the “Company Working Capital Illustration”). Upon the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer Parent, Seller Parent will make available to Buyer Parent and its Representatives the work papers (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters, if requested) and other books and records used in preparing the Estimated Company Cash, the Estimated Company Working Capital, the Estimated Company Indebtedness, and the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses and the Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses. However, neither such access nor any disagreement with respect to the Estimated Closing Statement shall delay the Closing, which shall occur using the amounts set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement unless otherwise expressly agreed.

2.3 Closing Payments. On the Closing Date, Buyer Parent (on behalf of the Buyers) shall make or cause to be made the following payments, each by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts set forth next to each recipient’s name on the Estimated Closing Statement:

(a) to the applicable Seller or its designees, an amount in cash equal to the Closing Purchase Price minus the Payoff Amounts minus the Seller Transaction Expenses;

(b) on behalf of the applicable Seller Party or Target Company, to each applicable holder of Indebtedness of Seller Parties secured by a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on the Purchased Equity or the assets of a Target Company set forth in Section 2.3(b) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Payoff Indebtedness”), the amount in cash equal to the payoff amount due for such Indebtedness to such lender as set forth in a customary payoff letter with respect to such Indebtedness as provided by Seller Parent prior to Closing (such amounts, collectively, the “Payoff Amounts”);

(c) on behalf of the applicable Seller Party to each Person identified on the Estimated Closing Statement, the amount of the Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses set forth opposite such Person’s name on the Estimated Closing Statement; provided that to the extent any such Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses are considered compensation for services performed by a service provider of a Seller Party, such amounts shall be paid to Seller Parent, which will then cause such amounts to be paid to the applicable Person through payroll (subject to all required withholding);

(d) on behalf of the Target Companies, to each Person identified on the Estimated Closing Statement, the amount of the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses set forth opposite such Person’s name on the Estimated Closing Statement; provided that to the extent any such Estimated Company Transaction Expenses are considered compensation for services performed by a service provider of a Seller Party or a Target Company, such amounts shall be paid to such Seller Party or such Target Company, which will then cause such amounts to the applicable Person through payroll (subject to all required withholding); and

(e) on behalf of the Target Companies, to each Person (if any) identified on the Estimated Closing Statement, the amount of the Estimated Company Indebtedness (excluding any Accrued Tax Amount) set forth opposite such Person’s name on the Estimated Closing Statement.

2.4 Closing Statement; Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Within 90 calendar days following the Closing, Buyer Parent shall prepare and deliver to Seller Parent a written schedule (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of (i) the Company Cash, (ii) the Company Working Capital, (iii) the Company Indebtedness, (iv) the Company Transaction Expenses, and (v) the resulting Aggregate Purchase Price. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles and in a manner consistent with the Company Working Capital Illustration. Following the Closing, Buyer Parent shall provide Seller Parent and its Representatives reasonable access (including by electronic delivery of documents), during regular business hours, in such a manner as to not interfere with the normal operation of Buyer Parent (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters, if requested) work papers and books and records relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement solely for the purpose of assisting Seller Parent in its review of the Closing Statement and the calculations contained therein.

(b) If Seller Parent disagrees with the calculations in the Closing Statement, Seller Parent shall notify Buyer Parent of such disagreement in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) within 60 calendar days after delivery of the Closing Statement. The Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail any item on the Closing Statement which Seller Parent believes has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and Seller Parent’s determination of the amount of such item. Any item or amount that Seller Parent does not dispute in the Dispute Notice within such 60-calendar day period shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such Dispute Notice is timely provided, Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 15 calendar days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculations included in the Closing Statement that were disputed in the Dispute Notice. If, at the end of such period, Seller Parent and Buyer Parent remain unable to resolve the dispute in its entirety, then either may elect that the unresolved items and amounts thereof in dispute shall be submitted to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm, reasonably acceptable to Buyer Parent and Seller Parent, which shall not be the independent accountants of Buyer Parent or Seller Parent (the “Dispute Auditor”). The Dispute Auditor shall determine, based solely on the provisions of this Section 2.4 and the related definitions in this Agreement and the written presentations by Seller Parent and Buyer Parent, and not by independent review, only those items and amounts that remain then in dispute as set forth in the Dispute Notice. The Dispute Auditor’s determination of the Company Cash, the Company Working Capital, the Company Indebtedness and/or the Company Transaction Expenses, as applicable, shall be made within 45 calendar days after the dispute is submitted for its determination and shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Seller Parent and Buyer Parent. A judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction selected pursuant to Section 12.5 hereof may be entered upon the Dispute Auditor’s determination. The Dispute Auditor shall have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resorting to the Dispute Auditor as provided in this Section 2.4(b) shall be the only recourse and remedy of the Parties against one another with respect to, those items and amounts that remain in dispute under this Section 2.4(b), and Buyer Parent shall not be entitled to seek indemnification or recovery of any attorneys’ fees or other professional fees incurred by Buyer Parent in connection with any dispute governed by this Section 2.4. The Dispute Auditor shall allocate its fees and expenses between Buyer Parent and Seller Parent according to the degree to which the positions of the respective Parties are not accepted by the Dispute Auditor. In no event shall the decision of the Dispute Auditor assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Buyer Parent or Seller Parent or lesser than the smallest value for such item claimed by either

Buyer Parent or Seller Parent. Any determinations made by the Dispute Auditor pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be final, non-appealable and binding on the Parties, absent manifest error or fraud.

(c) Once the Aggregate Purchase Price has become finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.4 (the date of such final determination, the “Final Adjustment Amount Determination Date”), the “Final Adjustment Amount” will be the amount equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price as so finally determined, minus the Closing Purchase Price:

(d) If the Final Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then within five Business Days after the Final Adjustment Amount Determination Date, Buyer Parent (on behalf of the Buyers) shall pay or cause to be paid the Final Adjustment Amount to or as directed by Seller Parent (acting on behalf of the Sellers). If the Final Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then within five Business Days after the Final Adjustment Amount Determination Date, Seller Parent (on behalf of the Sellers) shall pay or cause to be paid the absolute value of Final Adjustment Amount to or as directed by Buyer Parent (acting on behalf of the Buyers).

(e) The Parties agree that, from and after the Closing, the provisions of this Section 2.4 and the dispute resolution provisions contemplated hereby shall be the sole and exclusive remedy and exclusive forum of the Parties with respect to the calculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price and the components thereof, including any Liability that could have been included in the calculation thereof, and shall be allocated to the Purchased Equity to which such payments relate as determined by Seller Parent.

(f) Any payment made under this Section 2.4, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, shall be treated, including for all Tax purposes, as an adjustment to Closing Purchase Price.

2.5 Withholding. Each of Buyer Parent, Seller Parent, the Buyers, the Sellers, the Target Companies and their respective Affiliates and agents (each a “Withholding Agent”) will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement, the Taxes such Withholding Agent is required to deduct and withhold from such amounts under the Code or any other Law in respect of Taxes; provided, however, that, except with respect to any compensatory payments, so long as the Seller of USCo provides the IRS Form W-9 required under Section 7.5(b) (if any), Buyer Parent agrees that no U.S. federal income Taxes shall be deducted or withheld from any payments made to the Sellers. The applicable Withholding Agent shall provide Seller Parent with written notice of its intention to deduct or withhold any amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to amounts payable to the Sellers or any of their Affiliates (which, after the Closing Date, shall not include the Target Companies) at least five Business Days prior to any such deduction or withholding, and the applicable Withholding Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding. To the extent that Taxes are deducted or withheld in accordance with this Section 2.5 and timely, fully and properly paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law, such deducted or withheld amounts will be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer Parent and the consummation by Buyer Parent of the Transactions will not: (a) conflict with or cause a violation of any of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Buyer Parent, (b) conflict with or cause a violation by Buyer Parent of any Law applicable to Buyer Parent or (c) result in any breach, or constitute a default under, any material contract of Buyer Parent, in each case, except for any such conflicts, violations, breaches or defaults that do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of Buyer Parent to consummate, or prevent or materially delay, the Transactions or would reasonably be expected to do so. Except as set forth on Section 5.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, Buyer Parent is not required to obtain any Consent from any Governmental Entity

or party to a material contract of Buyer Parent at any time prior to the Closing in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.

5.4 Litigation. As of the Agreement Date, there is no Legal Proceeding pending (or, to the knowledge of Buyer Parent, being threatened) against Buyer Parent challenging, or that may have the effect of preventing, delaying, making illegal or otherwise interfering with, the Transactions.

5.5 No Vote Required. No vote or other action of the equityholders of Buyer Parent is required by applicable Law or the Organization Documents of Buyer Parent or otherwise in order for Buyer Parent to consummate the Closing and the Transactions.

5.6 Sufficiency of Funds. Buyer Parent has and, from and after the Closing, will have, sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of immediately available funds on hand (without restrictions on drawdown that would delay payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price or any other amounts due hereunder) to consummate the Transactions, including the payment of all amounts payable by or on behalf of Buyer Parent hereunder or otherwise as a result of the Transactions.

5.7 Solvency. Immediately after giving effect to the Transactions, Buyer Parent and each of its Subsidiaries (including the Target Companies and its Subsidiaries) is able to pay their respective debts as they become due and shall own property that has a fair saleable value greater than the amounts required to pay their respective debts (including a reasonable estimate of the amount of all contingent Liabilities). Immediately after giving effect to the Transactions, Buyer Parent and each of its Subsidiaries have adequate capital to carry on their respective businesses. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the Transactions with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Buyer Parent, the Target Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

5.8 Equity Commitment Letter. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, Buyer Parent has delivered to Seller Parent a true and complete copy of an executed commitment letter from the Persons party thereto as “Sponsors” (the “Funds”), dated as of even date herewith (the “Equity Commitment Letter” ), and pursuant to which the Funds have committed to provide an equity contribution to the Buyer Parent in connection with the Transactions in accordance with the terms of and subject to the conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter and this Agreement (the “Equity Commitment”). The aggregate net proceeds contemplated by the Equity Commitment, when funded in accordance with the Equity Commitment Letter on the Closing Date, together with the Buyer Parent’s existing unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient for Buyer Parent to consummate the Transactions, including payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price on the Closing Date. The obligations of the Funds under the Equity Commitment Letter are not subject to any condition other than those expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter. To the Knowledge of the Buyer Parent, there are no facts or circumstances existing or reasonably anticipated on the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to (i) cause the Equity Commitment Letter to be ineffective or (ii) preclude in any material respect the satisfaction of the funding conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter. As of the date hereof, the Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect, constitutes legally binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with their terms, subject to (A) Laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and (B) rules of Law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies, and has not been amended or otherwise modified. Buyer Parent is not and, to the Knowledge of the Buyer Parent, no other party to the Equity

Commitment Letter is, in breach, violation, or default under the Equity Commitment Letter (nor, to the Knowledge of the Buyer Parent, does there exist any condition which upon the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would cause such a breach, violation or default). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing by the Buyer Parent or any Affiliate or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of the Buyer Parent’s obligations hereunder.

Section 6. Interim Covenants

6.1 Regulatory Filings.

(a) As promptly as practicable after execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer Parent and the Seller Parties shall use each of its best efforts, and to cooperate with each other Party, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, appropriate or desirable to make or cause to be made the appropriate filings and submissions required to consummate the Transactions hereby. For this purpose, and provided that Seller Parent shall have provided all required information in a complete manner the Buyer Parent shall make a filing and give notice of the Transactions pursuant to the NSI Act as soon as practicable within five Business Days after the date hereof unless otherwise agreed to by Seller Parent (and, unless otherwise agreed by Seller Parent or in compliance with Schedule 6.1(a), shall not make any other filing or submission under Antitrust Laws or FDI Laws until after Closing). The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to promptly respond to any requests for information from the relevant Governmental Entity as may be requested or necessary pursuant to the NSI Act or any other Law identified on Schedule 6.1(a) (collectively, the “Specified Laws”), including requests for production of documents and production of witnesses for interviews or depositions by the relevant Governmental Entity.

(b) Buyer Parent and the Seller Parties shall diligently assist and cooperate with each other in preparing and filing all documents required to be submitted to the relevant Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions and in obtaining any Governmental Entity or third party consents, waivers, authorizations or approvals which may be required to be obtained in connection with the Transactions (which assistance and cooperation shall include timely furnishing all information concerning Buyer Parent and its Affiliates, and the Seller Parties reasonably required to be included in such documents or would be helpful in obtaining such required consent, waiver, authorization or approval). Each of the Parties shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on any filing made with, or other material communications submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each Party shall, to the extent practicable, give the other Party reasonable advance notice of all material communications with any Governmental Entity and consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion, proposal or other communication to be made or submitted in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or other Legal Proceeding, and each Party shall have the right to attend or participate in conferences, meetings and telephone, video or other communications between the other Parties and regulators concerning the Transactions, unless prohibited by such Governmental Entity. The Parties hereto may, on an outside counsel-only basis, provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement in connection with any request, inquiry, investigation, action or other Legal Proceeding by a Governmental Entity (other than documents containing any

competitively sensitive or confidential business information unless an investigation is commenced under any applicable Antitrust Laws). Materials required to be provided pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business or other bidders for the Business, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (iii) as necessary to preserve attorney-client or other legal privilege. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to Representatives of the recipient unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials or its legal counsel. Buyer Parent shall be responsible for all filing fees under the Specified Laws. Neither Party shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Entity to stay, toll, or extend any applicable waiting period under the Specified Laws, not consummate the transactions, or to pull and refile any filing without the prior written consent of the other.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.1 and subject to any limitations under applicable Laws or set forth on Schedule 6.1(c), Buyer Parent agrees to, and to cause its controlled Affiliates to, use best efforts, and to take any and all actions necessary, to eliminate each and every impediment that is asserted by the relevant Governmental Entity under the Specified Laws so as to enable the Parties to consummate the Transactions promptly and, in any event, prior to the End Date, as further set forth on Schedule 6.1(c).

(d) Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or Equity Interests in, or by any other manner, any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into of such agreement, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation, would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or significantly increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorizations, consents, clearances, orders, declarations or approvals of the relevant Governmental Entity under the Specified Laws necessary to consummate the Transactions , (ii) increase the risk of the relevant Governmental Entity under the Specified Laws entering, threatening to enter or increase the risk of not being able to remove or successfully challenge any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Transactions, or (iii) otherwise delay or impede the consummation of the Transactions.

6.2 Pre-Closing Reorganization.

(a) Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Seller Parties may take such action as Seller Parties consider reasonably necessary to plan, finalize, and implement the Pre-Closing Reorganization.

(b) Pre-Closing Reorganization Committee. As soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 10 Business Days of the Agreement Date, the Parties shall establish a committee (the “Pre-Closing Reorganization Committee”) consisting of at least two members, with an equal number of members appointed by each Party. The members of the Pre-Closing Reorganization Committee (i) appointed by Seller Parent, shall have sufficient knowledge of, and experience in, the Business and the Target Companies’ operations, systems, data and separation requirements and (ii) appointed by Buyer Parent, shall have sufficient knowledge of, and experience in, operations, system and data separation activities, in each case, to properly supervise and enable the Pre-Closing Reorganization. The Parties shall procure that the Pre-Closing Reorganization Committee meets

weekly (or such other frequency as may be agreed between the Parties) to monitor the implementation of the Pre-Closing Reorganization. For the avoidance of doubt, the Pre-Closing Reorganization Committee shall have power and authority to develop, adjust and change the Pre-Closing Reorganization outline set forth in Exhibit C hereto as long as such developments, adjustments and changes do not result in any material increase of the amount of Taxes or Liabilities for which Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates may be liable without Seller Parent’s consent.

(c) Separation. The Parties, through the Pre-Closing Reorganization Committee and in the context of the implementation of the Pre-Closing Reorganization, shall prepare an initial draft of a plan setting out the steps reasonably necessary to allow for the continued functioning of the Business upon the Closing and effectiveness of the Pre-Closing Reorganization (taking into account the Transition Services Agreement) and the full transition of the Business to Buyer promptly thereafter and prior to the expiration of the Transition Services Agreement (the “Separation Plan”). The Separation Plan shall not require Seller Parent or its Affiliates to take any action expected to materially increase the amount of Taxes or Liabilities for which Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates may be liable comparing to such Taxes or Liabilities currently contemplated under the “Pre-Closing Steps” included in Attachment C-1. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and implement the Separation Plan, including using commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) ensure that Separation is achieved promptly and in any event by the Closing Date; and (ii) provide all information, assistance and support reasonably required by the other Party in relation to the Separation.

Nothing herein shall require Seller Parent to obtain consent from Buyer Parent to do any of the foregoing if obtaining such consent might reasonably be expected to violate applicable Law, including Antitrust Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall give to Buyer Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Business prior to the Closing Date, and prior to the Closing Date, each of Buyer Parent, Seller Parent, and the Target Companies shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions hereof, complete control and supervision of their respective operations.

expense and in such a manner as to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the Transactions in accordance with the terms hereof and not to interfere with the normal operation of the business of the Seller Parties. Nothing herein shall require the Seller Parties to disclose any information to Buyer Parent or its Affiliates or Representatives if such disclosure would, in Seller Parent’s reasonable view (a) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (b) contravene any applicable Law, including any Antitrust Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the Agreement Date (including any confidentiality agreement to which any Seller Party is a party). Neither Buyer Parent nor its Representatives will access personnel of the Seller Parties without the prior written consent of Seller Parent.

6.5 Notification of Certain Events.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller Parent shall promptly notify Buyer Parent of, and furnish Buyer Parent with any information it may reasonably request with respect to, the occurrence of any event or condition or the existence of any fact that would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of Buyer Parent to consummate the Transactions set forth in Section 8 not to be satisfied. Seller Parent’s satisfaction of its obligations in the foregoing sentence shall not relieve the Seller Parties of any of their other obligations under this Agreement.

(b) During the Pre-Closing Period, Buyer Parent shall promptly notify Seller Parent of, and furnish Seller Parent with any information it may reasonably request with respect to, the occurrence of any event or condition or the existence of any fact that would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of Buyer Parent or Seller Parent to consummate the Transactions set forth in Section 9 not to be satisfied.

Any Taxes arising in connection with a late filing of such elections pursuant to subparagraph 212.3(7)(d)(ii) (for greater certainty net of any refund under subsection 227(6.2)) and subsection 212.3(13) of the Tax Act shall constitute a Current Liability.

(b) Seller Parent acknowledges that the applicable Buyer may enter into transactions (the “Bump Transactions”) designed to step up the tax basis in respect of the shares of UKCo and other non-depreciable capital property owned by CanadaCo pursuant to paragraphs 88(1)(c) and 88(1)(d) of the Tax Act upon an amalgamation or winding-up of CanadaCo (or its successor) (a “Bump”); and from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, Seller Parent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide information reasonably requested by Buyer Parent in this regard (including regarding the classes of shares issued by Seller Parent and the holders of such shares) on a timely basis (to the extent such information is in Seller Parent's or a Target Company's possession or control) and to act in a commercially reasonably manner to assist in the obtaining of any such information in order to facilitate the completion of the Bump Transactions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer Parent shall not be required to provide or cause to be provided access to or disclose or cause to be disclosed information where

such access or disclosure would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the attorney-client privilege, contravene any applicable Law or contravene any existing confidentiality obligation; provided, that Buyer Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide or cause to be provided access or disclose or cause to be disclosed such information in an alternative manner that does not so jeopardize such privilege or contravene applicable Law or confidentiality obligations.

7.2 Indemnification of Directors, Managers, and Officers.

Without limiting the foregoing, the D&O Indemnifying Parties shall also, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, advance costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the D&O Indemnified Persons in connection with matters for which such D&O Indemnified Persons are eligible to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) within 15 calendar days after receipt by Buyer Parent of a written request for such advance, subject to the execution by such D&O Indemnified Persons of appropriate undertakings to repay such advanced costs and expenses as required under appropriate circumstances.

(c) From the Closing until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer Parent shall cause the Target Companies to maintain in effect, for the benefit of the D&O Indemnified Persons with respect to their acts and omissions in connection with the Business occurring prior to the Closing, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by any Seller Party as of the Agreement Date in the form made available by Seller Parent to Buyer Parent prior to the Agreement Date on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than the existing policy; provided, that in no event shall Buyer Parent be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently payable by any Seller Party with respect to such current policy, it being understood that if the annual premiums payable for such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Buyer Parent shall be obligated to maintain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost equal to such amount.

(d) In the event that Buyer Parent, the Target Companies or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or Entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Buyer Parent shall ensure that the successors and assigns of Buyer Parent or the Target Companies, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.2.

(e) Buyer Parent acknowledges and agrees that the D&O Indemnified Persons are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.2. The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall survive the Closing and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons and their successors, assigns and heirs and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such D&O Indemnified Person may have by contract or otherwise. This Section 7.2 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Closing without the prior written consent of the affected D&O Indemnified Person.

7.3 Disclosure; Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Seller Parties and Buyer Parent shall not, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates and Representatives not to, issue any press release or disclose or make any public statement regarding this Agreement or the Transactions, without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

(c) Buyer Parent and Seller Parent confirm that the Personal Data disclosed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all such Personal Data disclosed prior to the execution of this Agreement (collectively, the “Disclosed Personal Data”) is necessary for the purposes of determining if Buyer Parent shall proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to complete such transactions. Solely with respect to Disclosed Personal Data governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) or other Canadian provincial legislation deemed substantially similar thereto (“Canadian Privacy Laws”), and solely to the extent the following actions are both required by and in accordance with Canadian Privacy Laws:

(i) prior to Closing, Buyer Parent shall (A) use reasonable efforts to protect the Disclosed Personal Data by using security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, and (B) not use or disclose the Disclosed Personal Data for any purposes other than those related to determining if it shall proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the performance of this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii) following Closing, Buyer Parent (A) shall not use or disclose the Disclosed Personal Data for any purposes other than (1) those purposes for which the information was initially collected, permitted to be used or disclosed prior to Closing, or for which additional consent from affected individuals is obtained, or (2) as otherwise permitted or required by applicable Law, (B) shall give effect to any withdrawal of consent from the affected individuals with respect to the Disclosed Personal Data, and (C) shall work with Seller Parent to notify, to the extent required by any Canadian Privacy Laws, the affected individuals within a reasonable time after Closing, that the transactions have been completed and that the Disclosed Personal Data has been disclosed to Buyer Parent; and if Closing does not occur, Buyer Parent shall, as instructed by Seller Parent, return to Seller Parent or securely destroy the Disclosed Personal Data within a reasonable period of time following such instruction.

7.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Purchase Price Allocation.

(i) Buyer Parent, Seller Parent and the Sellers agree that the Closing Purchase Price and the Aggregate Purchase Price (as finally determine and together with any liabilities and other items assumed in connection with the Transactions that are, in each case, treated as consideration for applicable Tax purposes) (the “Tax Allocation Purchase Price”) shall be allocated among the Purchased Equity in each of the Direct Target Companies and among the Buyers and the Sellers in accordance with Schedule 7.4(a)(i) (such schedule, the “Execution Date Allocation Schedule”).

(ii) Seller Parent shall prepare and provide to Buyer Parent within 90 calendar days after the Final Adjustment Amount Determination Date, a schedule (the “Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Tax Allocation Purchase Price among (A) first, the Purchased Equity in each of the Target Companies, and (B) second, for U.S. federal income (and applicable state and local) Tax purposes, among the assets of each of the Direct Target Companies other than CanadaCo (with the aggregate amount allocated to assets of each such Direct Target Company being equal to the aggregate amount allocated to the Purchased Equity in such Direct Target Company under clause (A)(1)). The Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the general principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations pursuant thereto or any successor provision. The Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall also be prepared in a manner consistent with (x) the Execution Date Allocation Schedule and (y) Schedule 7.4(a)(ii) (clauses (x) and (y), together, the “Binding Allocation Principles”). Unless Buyer Parent objects to the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation Schedule within 30 calendar days after receipt thereof, such schedule shall become final. If Buyer Parent objects to the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation Schedule within 30 calendar days of receipt, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree, within 30 calendar days of Buyer Parent’s objection to the Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, to an allocation of the Tax Allocation Purchase Price among the Purchased Equity in each of the Target Companies and, for U.S. federal income (and applicable state and local) Tax purposes, the assets of each of the Direct Target Companies other than CanadaCo, in each case, that is consistent with the Binding Allocation Principles (such allocation, the “Final Allocation”). If Buyer Parent and Seller Parent cannot agree on an appropriate Final Allocation, they shall submit any disputed item(s) (but only such dispute item(s)) to the Dispute Auditor. The Dispute Auditor shall, within 15 calendar days of the submission thereto, determine the appropriate Final Allocation; provided, that in determining the Final Allocation, the Dispute Auditor shall be bound by

the Binding Allocation Principles. The fees, costs and expenses of the Dispute Auditor incurred in resolving such dispute shall be paid 50% by Seller Parent and 50% by Buyer Parent. The Sellers, the Buyers and their respective Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation, as ultimately agreed to or as determined by the Dispute Auditor, and none of the Buyers or the Sellers (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall take any position (whether in Tax proceedings, on Tax Returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Final Allocation except as otherwise required by Law or as the same may be subsequently adjusted pursuant to an audit by a Governmental Entity or by court decision. Thereafter, Seller Parent shall prepare and deliver to Buyer Parent from time to time a revised proposed Final Allocation updated to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement requiring any adjustment to the Final Allocation. Such revised allocation statement shall become the Final Allocation subject to the same provisions that govern the initial proposed Post-Closing Purchase Price Allocation Schedule delivered to Buyer Parent pursuant to this Section 7.4(a)(ii).

(b) Tax Returns.

(i) Seller Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file, or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns of Sellers and their respective Affiliates (other than the Target Companies) with respect to In-Scope Assets and the Business for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date that are required to be filed following the Closing Date (the “Seller Parent Prepared Returns”). All Seller Parent Prepared Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Sections 7.4(a), 7.4(f), and 7.4(j), and, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or Sections 7.4(a), 7.4(f), and 7.4(j), in accordance with the existing procedures, practices and accounting methods of Seller Parent or its Affiliates.

(ii) Buyer Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file, or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns of the Target Companies for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including Straddle Periods) that are due after the Closing Date (the “Buyer Parent Prepared Returns”). Any Buyer Parent Prepared Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Sections 7.4(a), 7.4(f), and 7.4(j), and, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or Sections 7.4(a), 7.4(f), and 7.4(j), in accordance with existing procedures and practices and accounting methods of the Target Companies; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the Buyer Parent Prepared Returns shall, to the extent supported at a “more likely than not” or higher level of comfort, report all Transaction Deductions as being deductible in the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) Buyer Parent may cause CanadaCo to make an election pursuant to subsection 256(9) of the Tax Act in respect of the taxation year of CanadaCo ending on the acquisition of control of it by a Buyer. In the event that any item reflected on any Buyer Parent Prepared Return could give rise to Pre-Closing Taxes or otherwise to Taxes for which Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates is liable (including, without limitation, under this Agreement, or as a result of the effect that any item reflected thereon may have on the amount of gross income required to be taken into account by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Target Company under Section 951(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), Buyer Parent will provide such Buyer Parent Prepared Return to Seller Parent for review and comment at least 20 calendar days prior to the due date for filing such Buyer Parent Prepared Return (taking into account extensions), and Buyer Parent shall consider in good faith any comments of Seller Parent with respect thereto. If Buyer Parent objects to any such comments provided with respect to Pre-Closing Taxes or otherwise to Taxes for which Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates is liable (including, without limitation, under this Agreement, or as a result of the effect that any item

reflected thereon may have on the amount of gross income required to be taken into account by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Target Company under Section 951(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), Buyer Parent shall promptly inform Seller Parent of such objection, and Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall work together in good faith to resolve any such disputed comment(s). If Buyer Parent and Seller Parent are unable to resolve any such disputed comment(s) within five (5) days of Buyer Parent having so informed Seller Parent of such objection (or such longer or shorter period as the Buyer Parent and Seller Parent may mutually agree), the disputed comment(s) (and only the disputed comment(s)) shall be submitted to the Dispute Auditor for resolution in a manner consistent with the principles set forth in this Section 7.4(b)(ii) and in accordance with the procedures provided under Section 2.4 mutatis mutandis. If any such disputed comment(s) are not resolved by the due date for filing such Buyer Parent Prepared Return (taking into account extensions), such Buyer Parent Prepared Return shall be filed in a manner that reflects Buyer Parent’s position on such comment(s); provided, however, that, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, such Buyer Parent Prepared Return shall be amended, to the extent required, to reflect the resolution of any disputed comment(s) after the date of filing; provided, further, that, the position on any such item(s) that remain in dispute at the time of filing shall not dictate or be indicative of the appropriate treatment of such item(s) for purposes of calculating the Aggregate Purchase Price.

(iii) Buyer Parent and the Target Companies shall not (and shall not permit their respective Affiliates to), without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (A) file any Tax Return of the Target Companies or with respect to the In-Scope Assets or the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period except for those Buyer Parent Prepared Returns prepared and filed in accordance with Section 7.4(b), (B) amend, modify or refile any Tax Return of the Target Companies or with respect to the In-Scope Assets or the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (C) make, revoke, rescind or change any Tax election or change any method of accounting with respect to the Target Companies, the In-Scope Assets or the Business that has effect in a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (D) voluntarily approach any Tax authority regarding any Tax or Tax Return of the Target Companies or with respect to the In-Scope Assets or the Business for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (E) agree to extend or waive the statute of limitations with respect to Pre-Closing Taxes, (F) make any election under Section 336 or 338 of the Code (or any similar or corresponding provision of state, local or other Tax Law) with respect to the Transactions, (G) file any ruling request with any Governmental Entity that relates to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Target Companies or with respect to the In-Scope Assets or the Business for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (H) take any action or enter into any transaction on the Closing Date after the Closing with respect to the Target Companies, the In-Scope Assets or the Business that is outside the ordinary course of business and not explicitly contemplated by this Agreement (for greater certainty, transactions undertaken in connection with the Bump Transactions are deemed to be explicitly contemplated by this Agreement), or (I) engage in any transaction outside the ordinary course of business that could increase the amount of gross income required to be taken into account by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Target Company under Section 951(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (including, without limitation, with respect to any “global intangible low-taxed income” (within the meaning of Section 951A of the Code)).

(c) Buyer Parent shall promptly forward or shall cause to be promptly forwarded (and in any event within 10 Business Days) to Seller Parent all written notifications and other communications received by Buyer Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing Date, the Target Companies) from any Governmental Entity relating to any Tax or Tax Return of the Target Companies for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, and/or with respect to the assets of the Target Companies or the Business

for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, that could affect Pre-Closing Taxes or that could reasonably be expected to affect the other Taxes of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, as a result of the effect that any item in dispute may have on the amount of gross income required to be taken into account by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Target Company under Section 951(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) (each a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to forward any such notifications or communications shall not affect any Person’s obligations hereunder except to the extent that such Person is actually prejudiced thereby. Seller Parent shall have the right to, at its election, control the conduct of any and all Tax Claims related to CanadaCo and UKCo for taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing (each a “Seller Tax Claim”); provided, however, that (i) Buyer Parent shall be entitled to, at its own expense and with counsel of its own choosing, participate in all submissions, communications and conferences in connection therewith, and (ii) Seller Parent shall not enter into any settlement of, or otherwise compromise or abandon, any such Seller Tax Claim without the prior written consent of Buyer Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer Parent shall control the conduct of any and all (A) Seller Tax Claims that Seller Parent elects not to control, and (B) Tax Claims other than Seller Tax Claims; provided, however, that, unless Buyer Parent notifies Seller Parent that it is waiving its indemnity rights under Section 7.4(h) with respect to such Seller Tax Claim or other Tax Claim and Seller Parent and its Affiliates would not otherwise be liable for any Taxes to which such Seller Tax Claim or other Tax Claim relates, (1) Seller Parent shall be entitled to, at its own expense, consult, review and comment on all submissions, communications and conferences in connection therewith, and (2) Buyer Parent shall not enter into any settlement of, or otherwise compromise or abandon, any such Seller Tax Claim or other Tax Claim without the prior written consent of Seller Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In the event of any conflict between this Section 7.4(c) and Section 11.5, the provisions of this Section 7.4(c) shall control.

(d) Buyer Parent, the Target Companies and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller Parent, on the other hand, shall reasonably cooperate as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns of the Target Companies or otherwise with respect to the Business, and any Legal Proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Target Companies or otherwise with respect to the Business. Buyer Parent, the Target Companies, Seller Parent and their respective Affiliates agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Target Companies relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority. Buyer Parent, the Target Companies and Seller Parent further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax (including withholding Taxes) that they are aware could be imposed in connection with the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide any (x) income Tax Returns of Seller Parent or its Affiliates, or (y) other Tax Returns (including any portion thereof) or (other than in respect of matters (including any Tax election affecting any Target Company) concerning Group Relief) any other information with respect to Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates, except to the extent such Tax Return (or portion thereof) or other information is with respect to the Target Companies.

(e) Each of Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall bear and pay fifty percent (50%) of all sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, recording, registration, documentary, excise, real property transfer or gains, indirect capital gains or similar Taxes (including any penalties and interest)

incurred as a result of the Transactions; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer Parent shall be responsible for the payment of any and all such Taxes taken into account in the calculation of Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses and/or Seller Transaction Expenses. The Party required by applicable Law to file any related Tax Returns, and the other Party shall cooperate with the filing Party in connection with any such filings.

(f) For all purposes under this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, the portion of Taxes (or any Tax refund or amount credited against any Tax) that are allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending at the end of the Closing Date will be: (i) in the case of property Taxes and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis without regard to income, payroll, gross receipts or sales or use, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes (or Tax refund or amount credited against Tax) for such entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending at the end of the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in such entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, determined as though the taxable year of the Target Companies terminated at the end of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) any and all Transaction Deductions shall be allocated to and deducted in Pre-Closing Tax Periods to the extent permissible at a “more likely than not” (or higher) level of comfort, and (y) any and all Taxes related to actions taken and transactions entered into (in either case, outside the ordinary course of business and not explicitly contemplated by this Agreement) with respect to the Target Companies, the In-Scope Assets or the Business on the Closing Date after the Closing shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.

(g) Seller Parent will be entitled to all cash Tax refunds actually received by any Target Company or any of its Affiliates after Closing, and all Tax credits utilized which have reduced in part or in whole the liability of any Target Company or any of its Affiliates to make an actual payment of Tax, in each case to the extent that such Tax refunds or credits, including any interest paid or credited by a Governmental Entity with respect thereto, are attributable to Pre-Closing Taxes the liability for which has been paid or discharged in full or otherwise borne by Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Pre-Closing Taxes paid by a Target Company after the Closing Date that are not borne by Seller Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Target Companies) under this Agreement) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (any such refund or credit, a “Pre-Closing Tax Refund”), provided that Pre-Closing Tax Refunds shall exclude (i) any Tax refunds and credits to the extent taken into account in the determination of the Aggregate Purchase Price, and (ii) any Tax refund resulting from the carryback of a Tax attribute of a Target Company relating to a Tax period beginning after the Closing Date. If the Target Companies (or any of their respective Affiliates) receive any Pre-Closing Tax Refund to which Seller Parent is entitled pursuant to this Section 7.4(g), within 15 calendar days of receipt (or utilization), Buyer Parent or the Target Companies will pay (or cause their respective Affiliates to pay) the amount of such Pre-Closing Tax Refund, net of any Taxes and reasonable out-of-pocket cost to Buyer Parent and its Affiliates in obtaining or receiving such Pre-Closing Tax Refund, to Seller Parent. Seller Parent shall promptly repay to Buyer Parent any amount (plus applicable interest and penalties) paid to Seller pursuant to this Section 7.4(g) to the extent of any such amount that must be reimbursed by a Target Company to the relevant Governmental Entity. Any amounts payable under this Section 7.4(g) shall constitute an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

(h) Except to the extent taken into account in the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount, Seller Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer Parent, Buyer Parent’s

Affiliates, UKCo and CanadaCo, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Parent Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Pre-Closing Taxes actually incurred by any of the Buyer Parent Indemnified Parties (“Indemnified Taxes”); provided, that the Buyer Parent Indemnified Parties’ initial source of recovery for Indemnified Taxes shall be from the R&W Insurance Policy and, if (and only if) the R&W Insurance Policy has been fully exhausted or is otherwise unavailable, the Buyer Parent Indemnified Parties may then pursue recovery for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section 7.4(h) (subject to the terms and limitations hereof); provided, further, that Indemnified Taxes shall be net of any cash Tax benefit realized by a Buyer Parent Indemnified Party in the year such Tax is finally determined, any of the following two tax years, or any prior Tax year, as a result of incurring such Taxes. Seller Parent shall reimburse Buyer Parent for any Indemnified Taxes within 15 Business Days of Buyer Parent having provided Seller Parent with written notice (and reasonable accompanying evidence) of the payment of such Indemnified Taxes by a Buyer Parent Indemnified Party and Buyer Parent’s inability to recover such amounts under the R&W Insurance Policy (together with reasonable detail regarding the reason behind such inability to recover). Any payments made by Seller Parent under this Section 7.4(h) shall be treated by the Parties and their Affiliates as an adjustment to the Final Adjustment Amount for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the covenants in this Section 7.4(h) shall survive the Closing and shall terminate upon the earlier of the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date and the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable thereto.

(i) Compulsory Payments Prior to Settlement

(i) If, in the case of a Tax Claim concerning an Indemnified Tax (after taking into account any limitations imposed thereunder with respect thereto) that Seller Parent and its Affiliates have not already borne pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, an amount is (i) required to be paid under applicable Law or any Order, or (ii) garnished by a Governmental Authority, or there is an amount in respect of which a Governmental Entity is legally permitted to take collection action at that time (each such amount (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the portion of any such amount for which Seller Parent is not liable under Section 7.4(h) (after taking into account any limitations imposed thereunder with respect thereto)) a “Preliminary Compulsory Payment Amount”), the Seller Parent shall, within 15 Business Days of receipt of written notice (together with reasonable accompanying evidence detailing the background of the Tax Claim and Preliminary Compulsory Payment Amounts for which Seller Parent is liable) from the Buyer Parent of such Preliminary Compulsory Payment Amount, pay the Buyer Parent Indemnified Parties an amount equal to the portion of the Preliminary Compulsory Payment Amount related to Indemnified Taxes for which Seller Parent is liable under Section 7.4(h) (after taking into account any limitations with respect thereto) and Buyer Parent Indemnified Parties shall then promptly pay such amount (together with any amounts related to taxable periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date and any other amounts for which Buyer Parent is liable) to the applicable Governmental Authority.

(ii) Upon the occurrence of a Final Compulsory Payment Indemnification Event (if any) or otherwise the resolution or settlement of an applicable Tax Claim, (i) if the aggregate of all Preliminary Compulsory Payment Amounts paid by Seller Parent and, is less than the amount related to Indemnified Taxes for which Seller Parent is liable under Section 7.4(h) (including, without limitation, after taking into account any limitations imposed thereunder with respect thereto) determined under the Final Determination to be the amount of Indemnified Taxes for which Seller Parent is liable under Section 7.4(h) owing (the “Final Compulsory Payment Amount”), the Seller

Parent shall, within 15 Business Days of the time that the Buyer Parent Indemnified Party notifies Seller Parent in writing of the occurrence of the Final Compulsory Payment Indemnification Event and the applicable Final Compulsory Payment Amount (together with reasonable accompanying evidence and documentation with respect to the foregoing), pay to the Buyer Parent Indemnified Party an amount equal to the difference between aggregate of all Preliminary Compulsory Payment Amounts paid by Seller Parent and the Final Compulsory Payment Amount (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts related thereto for which Seller Parent is not liable under Section 7.4(h) (including, without limitation, as a result of the application of any limitations imposed thereunder with respect thereto)), and (ii) if the aggregate of all Preliminary Compulsory Payment Amounts paid by Seller Parent, exceeds the Final Compulsory Payment Amount (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts related thereto for which Seller Parent is not liable under Section 7.4(h) (including, without limitation, as a result of the application of any limitations imposed thereunder with respect thereto)), the Buyer Parent Indemnified Party shall within 15 Business Days of the Final Compulsory Indemnification Event, pay to Seller Parent the amount of such excess (including any interest paid or credited with respect to any refund or credit received with respect thereto but net of any Taxes payable by the Buyer Parent Indemnified Party in respect of such refund, credit or interest).

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller Parent (in its sole discretion) shall be entitled to cause the election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.245A-5(e)(3)(i) to be made by Seller Parent and/or any of its Affiliates to close the taxable year of any Target Company as of the Closing Date (the “Section 245A Election”). If a Section 245A Election is requested by Seller Parent pursuant to this Section 7.4(i), Seller Parent and Buyer Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, enter into a binding agreement that satisfies the requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.245A-5(e)(3)(i)(C)(2) with respect to the extraordinary reduction of the stock of the applicable Target Company on or before the due date (including extensions) for the applicable U.S. federal income Tax Return of Seller Parent (and/or its applicable Affiliate(s)). If the Section 245A Election is made for a Target Company, Seller Parent and Buyer Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) file all required Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such Section 245A Election and not take any position that is inconsistent with such Section 245A Election in connection with an audit, examination or judicial or administrative proceeding, except as otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or a corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law).

(k) If it is determined that CanadaCo made an “excessive eligible dividend designation”, as defined in subsection 89(1) of the Tax Act, Seller Parent shall cause the recipient of the relevant dividend to consent to the making of an election under subsection 185.1(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount thereof, and such election shall be made by the Target Company in the manner and within the time prescribed by subsections 185.1(2) and 185.1(3) of the Tax Act.

(l) If it is determined that CanadaCo made an election under subsection 83(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount of any dividend payable by it on shares of any class of its capital stock and the full amount of such dividend exceeded the amount of its “capital dividend account”, as defined in the Tax Act, immediately before the dividend became payable, Seller Parent shall cause the recipient of the relevant dividend to consent to the making of an election under subsection 184(3) of the Tax Act in respect of such dividend.

(m) If, at any time after the Closing Date, Buyer Parent or Seller Parent determines, or becomes aware that an “advisor” (as is defined for purposes of section 237.3 or section 237.4 of the

Tax Act) has determined, that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Pre-Closing Reorganization, are or would be subject to the reporting requirements under section 237.3 or the notification requirements under section 237.4 of the Tax Act (the “Disclosure Requirements”), Buyer Parent or Seller Parent, as the case may be, will promptly inform the other party of its intent, or its advisor’s intent, to comply with the Disclosure Requirements and the Parties will cooperate in good faith to determine the applicability of such requirements. In the event that, following such cooperation, any party determines that it is required to file any applicable information return, notification and/or disclosure in accordance with the Disclosure Requirements then it shall so notify all other parties and the parties shall reasonably cooperate in good faith (including sharing of draft reporting forms) to make any such report on a timely basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for greater certainty, each party shall be permitted to report any transaction to an applicable Governmental Entity to the extent that such party determines, acting reasonably, that such reporting is required by applicable Law.

(n) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, except to the extent taken into account in the calculation of the Final Adjustment or with the written consent of Buyer Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Seller Parent shall (and shall cause each Seller and their Affiliates to) procure that (a) the amount of the total disallowed amount of interest (as defined in section 373 of the U.K. Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 2010) that has been allocated to UKCo in respect of any Pre-Closing period is not varied following Closing, or pursuant to an arrangement entered into prior to Closing and (b) there is no amendment or withdrawal of any claim or surrender or making of any claim relating to Group Relief or making, amendment or withdrawal of any Tax election, which could give rise to a liability for Taxes of any Target Companies. Except to the extent taken into account in the calculation of the Final Adjustment or with the written consent of Seller Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Buyer Parent shall (and shall cause each Buyer, each Target Company and their Affiliates to) procure that (a) the amount of the total disallowed amount of interest (as defined in section 373 of the U.K. Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 2010) that has been allocated to UKCo in respect of any Pre-Closing period is not varied following Closing, or pursuant to an arrangement entered into following Closing and (b) there is no amendment or withdrawal of any claim or surrender or making of any claim relating to Group Relief or making, amendment or withdrawal of any Tax election, which could affect the Tax liabilities of any Target Company or Seller Parent or any Affiliate of any of them prior to Closing.

(o) None of Buyer Parent, the Buyers or any of the Target Companies shall be required to (a) surrender to Seller Parent or any Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) any Group Relief (other than in respect of Pre-Closing Tax Periods and in respect of which claims have been made prior to Closing to the extent that such claims have been taken into account in the determination of the Aggregate Purchase Price) or (b) unless required by applicable Law or a Governmental Authority to resolve or settle a Tax Claim, amend or withdraw following Closing any Tax Returns of any Target Companies which were submitted to a Tax authority before Closing.

(p) Without prejudice to any other rights of Buyer Parent under this Agreement, to the extent any de-grouping charge arises in any Target Company pursuant to section 179 TCGA, section 780 CTA 2009, or section 785 CTA 2009 (or any similar legislation in any jurisdiction), in respect of any asset transferred to such Target Company in the course of the Pre-Closing Reorganization or otherwise on or before the Closing, Seller Parent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to procure that such Liability is avoided or discharged by making or procuring the making of any appropriate claim or election under or pursuant to section 171A TCGA or 792 CTA 2009 (or any similar legislation in any jurisdiction) with the relevant Target Company, in each case to

the extent permitted by Law and without any payment being made by the relevant Target Company in consideration of or in connection with such surrender, claim, or election and Buyer Parent agrees to provide its reasonable cooperation in order to procure that the relevant Target Company validly executes such claim or election.

(q) Seller Parent shall ensure all Tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Target Companies shall be terminated as of the Closing and, after the Closing, that the Target Companies shall not be bound thereby or have any right or any liability thereunder.

(r) Seller Parent covenants to Buyer that from the date hereof to the date that is two years after the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any person that controls it shall knowingly acquire a direct or indirect equity interest in any of the investment funds identified in Section 7.4(r) of the Disclosure Schedule.

7.5 Credit Support Items. Buyer Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Seller Parties to be fully and irrevocably released, as of the Closing Date or as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, in respect of all Liabilities under any guaranties, letters of credit, financial assurances, letters of comfort, bid bonds or performance or surety bonds or cash or other collateral obtained or given by any Seller Party relating to any Target Company or the Business (“Credit Support Items”). Such efforts shall include Buyer Parent offer substitute guaranties, letters of credit or other financial assurances Seller Parent shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer Parent in connection with Buyer Parent’s obligations under the immediately preceding sentence. If the parties do not effect a substitution and release with respect to any Credit Support Item, Buyers and the Target Companies shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Seller Parent and each Seller Non-Recourse Party against any and all Losses arising from such Credit Support Item. Without limiting the foregoing, except with Seller Parent’s consent, Buyer Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates, successors or assigns to not, (i) renew, extend, amend or supplement any Contract or otherwise extend the term of or increase any obligation that is covered by or the subject of a Credit Support Item, (ii) transfer to a third party any such Contract or other obligation or (iii) obtain a release from all obligations under such Contract or other obligation contemplated by clause (i) or (ii) except to the extent that the result of such release is that Seller Non-Recourse Parties are no longer liable for, or have any credit exposure to, such obligations under the applicable Credit Support Item, without providing Seller Parent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the Credit Support Item does not apply to or has been irrevocably and fully released with respect thereto.

7.6 Business Insurance. Buyers shall be solely responsible for obtaining insurance policies and programs for the Target Companies from and after the Closing. From and after Closing, the Insurance Policies and any other insurance policies and programs maintained by any Seller Parties prior to the Closing may be terminated with respect to the conduct of the Business and the Target Companies and, upon such termination, the conduct of the Business and the Target Companies will cease to be covered under such policies and programs. Buyers will need to obtain replacement coverage (including coverage as Buyer Parent deems appropriate for the Business, the Target Companies and their operations and liabilities). Seller Parent shall retain all rights to control the Seller Parties’ insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any Liability of any Buyer Party. The Parties agree to

cooperate in good faith to effect the transition of any insurance policies and programs to the extent solely relating to the Business from the Seller Parties to the Target Companies or Buyers, as applicable.

7.7 Government Contract and Security Matters. The parties understand that CanadaCo is party to a Contract as part of the Business, pursuant to which it has agreed to maintain designated organization screening (DOS) clearance in connection with its potential access to Protected-A information. Seller Parent shall cause CanadaCo to provide notice to the Contract Security Program of the pending transactions, and Buyer Parent shall diligently assist and cooperate with Seller Parent in the preparation and submission of such notice. Following the submission of such notice, Buyer Parent and Seller Parent shall cooperate to update such clearance. Buyer Parent will be responsible for designating and obtaining approval for alternative personnel and locations as part of the security plan relating to such clearance. For the avoidance of doubt, completion of this process is not a condition to Closing, and after Closing, no Seller Party shall have any obligation or Liability in respect of obtaining or maintaining such clearance, including in relation to any Contracts that may require such clearance. CanadaCo and UKCo hold other Permits used in the Retained Business but not the Business, and the Parties will coordinate as reasonably requested by Seller Parent to cause the transfer of any such Permit to Seller Parent or a Subsidiary designated by it (it being understood that Section 1.1(b) shall apply to any such Permits the transfer of which is not completed prior to Closing).

7.8 Employee Matters.

(a) Transfers Generally. It is the intention that all Business Employees shall be employed by a Target Company, a Buyer, an Affiliate of the Buyer, or a PEO engaged by a Buyer (rather than of any Seller Party), as of Closing, and that the Target Companies shall not have any other employees as of Closing (any such other employees having been transferred to a Seller Party at or prior to the Closing). The Parties, each acting reasonably and in good faith, shall work collaboratively (including as part of the Separation Plan or via the Pre-Closing Reorganization Committee) to determine a mutually agreeable and efficient way to effect such outcome in compliance with applicable Law and Contract.

(b) Specific Action. In furtherance of the foregoing, and subject to any adjustments to the following plan that may be developed as part of the Separation Plan and via the Pre-Closing Reorganization Committee, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause that:

(i) With respect to each Indirect Transfer Employee, Seller Parent shall cause the transfer to the applicable Target Company of such Indirect Transfer Employee, with each such transfer to take effect by no later than the Closing Date. Such transfer shall result in continued employment for each Indirect Transfer Employee with the applicable Target Company on materially the same terms and conditions as such Indirect Transfer Employees are currently employed and recognizing their period of continuous employment and any accrued entitlements with the relevant Seller Party; provided that the Target Companies may not have independent employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements, which are to be replaced by New Plans in accordance with this Agreement.

(ii) With respect to each TUPE Employee (if any), the Parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the contract of employment of each TUPE Employee shall transfer in accordance with and subject to the Transfer Regulations and shall have effect from the consummation of the Pre-Closing Reorganization as if originally made between a Target Company and the relevant TUPE Employee (except in relation to any benefits or Liabilities excluded from

transfer by the Transfer Regulations), save for any such TUPE Employee who objects to being transferred in accordance with the Transfer Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Transfer Regulations do not apply or are deemed not to apply to any Indirect Transfer Employee considered to be a TUPE Employee, such Indirect Transfer Employee shall be transferred to the applicable Target Company as if they were an Indirect Transfer Employee in accordance with Section 7.8(b)(i) above.

(iii) With respect to each PEO Employee, the Parties shall cooperate to either (i) transfer the PEO Employee’s PEO arrangements to a Buyer, an Affiliate thereof, or a Target Company, (ii) terminate the PEO Employee’s PEO arrangement, with a Buyer, an Affiliate thereof, or a Target Company extending offers of employment or entering into a substitute PEO arrangement, or (iii) take such other action mutually agreed upon to cause such PEO Employee to become an employee of a Buyer, an Affiliate thereof, or a Target Company, in each case as of Closing and in accordance with all applicable Laws.

(iv) With respect to each Direct Transfer Employee, the Parties shall cooperate to either (i) cause the employment relationship between such Direct Transfer Employee and Seller Parties to transfer to a Buyer, or Affiliate thereof, or a Target Company, (ii) terminate the employment of such Direct Transfer Employee by Seller Parties, with a Buyer, an Affiliate thereof, or a Target Company extending offers of employment or facilitating employment through a PEO arrangement, or (iii) take such other action mutually agreed upon to cause such Direct Transfer Employee Employees to become employees of a Buyer, an Affiliate thereof, or a Target Company, in each case as of Closing and in accordance with all applicable Laws.

(v) With respect to any employee of the Target Companies who is not a Business Employee (each, an “Excluded Employee”) Seller Parent shall cause the Target Companies to transfer the employment and all Liabilities related to any such Excluded Employee employed by the Target Companies as of no later than immediately prior to the Closing to a non-transferring entity of Seller Parent.

(vi) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that some Business Employees are already employed by a Target Company and no transfer of employment shall be required pursuant to this Section 7.8(b).

(c) Legal Requirements. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and the Target Companies to, comply in all material respects with all applicable Laws and any obligations under any applicable collective bargaining agreement or agreement with any employee representative body relating to the transfer of (i) the Indirect Transfer Employees, the TUPE Employees, the Direct Transfer Employees and the PEO Employees to the Target Companies and (ii) the Excluded Employees to Seller Parent or one of its Affiliates.

(d) Treatment of Business Employees. For a period of not less than one year following the Closing Date, Buyer Parent shall provide or shall cause to be provided to Business while such Business Employee remains employed by Buyer Parent or its Affiliates, base salary and target incentive compensation no less favorable than those in effect with respect to such Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing; provided, that the foregoing shall not diminish any obligation of the Target Companies after the Closing pursuant to any employment or similar agreement between the Target Companies and any Business Employee in existence as of the Closing.

(e) New Plans. For all purposes under the employee benefit plans of Buyer Parent and its Affiliates providing benefits to any Business Employees after the Closing (the “New Plans”), each Business Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Seller Parties (or its Affiliates, as applicable) before the Closing, to the same extent as such Business Employee was entitled, before the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Company Plans to the extent that is possible under the New Plans on commercially reasonable terms and in accordance with applicable Law. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that is possible under the New Plans on commercially reasonable terms and in accordance with applicable Law: (i) each Business Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans; (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing health and welfare benefits to any Business Employee, Buyer Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions, waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents; and (iii) for purposes of each New Plan providing group health benefits (including medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision) to any Business Employee, Buyer Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Company Plan in which such Business Employee participated immediately before the Closing ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(f) No Third-Party Rights. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, (i) is intended to confer upon any Business Employee any right to continued employment for any period or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, or shall constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any benefit plan; (ii) shall alter or limit Buyer Parent’s, Seller Parent’s or the Target Companies’ or their respective Affiliates’ ability to amend, modify or terminate any particular benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; or (iii) is intended to confer upon any individual (including employees, retirees or dependents or beneficiaries of employees or retirees) any right as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

(g) Equity Awards. At Closing, the Business Employees shall cease to be entitled to participate in, or accrue any rights under, all equity-based plans implemented by the Seller Parties and their Affiliates, in particular the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, amended on 4 June 2024 and the 2012 Stock Option and Grant Plan, amended on 17 November 2015 (together the “Equity Plans”) and all awards outstanding as of Closing under any Equity Plan shall be fully cancelled or terminated, in accordance with its terms. Seller Parent and its Affiliates shall be responsible for any Liability incurred by Buyer Parent or its Affiliates in relation to any Business Employee’s participation in, or cessation of participation in the Equity Plans, other than due to a breach by Buyer Parent or its Affiliates of their obligations hereunder.

7.9 Non-solicitation.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, for themselves or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, solicit for employment, employ or offer employment to any Business Employee unless such Business Employee shall have ceased to be employed by Buyer Parent and each of its Affiliates for a period of at least six months prior thereto.

(b) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer Parties shall not directly or indirectly, for themselves or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, solicit for employment, employ or offer employment to any person who was an employee of any Seller Party (other than a Business Employee) unless such person shall have ceased to be employed by Seller Parties for a period of at least six months prior thereto.

(c) This Section 7.9 shall not be deemed to prohibit the a Party or any of their Affiliates from (i) engaging in general media advertising or solicitation that may be targeted to a particular geographic or technical area but that is not specifically targeted towards any Person, (ii) soliciting for employment, employing or offering employment to a Person who responds to any such general media advertising or solicitation or (iii) soliciting for employment, employing or offering employment to any Person whose employment has been terminated by the other Party.

7.10 Non-competition.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall not market, sell, offer for sale, license, distribute, make available, provide, support, or maintain: (1) raw S-AIS, raw D-AIS, raw T-AIS and/or raw VDES data (whether on a standalone basis or together in any combination thereof) or (2) any products or services which include or are derived from any or all such S-AIS data, D-AIS, T-AIS and/or VDES data, in either case, whether directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of any third Person (other than, directly, or indirectly via an authorized third party appointed by Seller Parent or its Affiliates for such purpose, Governmental Entities forming part of the U.S. Government, and then only under, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of: (i) the Reverse Data Supply Agreement; or (ii) the Authorized Reseller Agreement) in any manner that directly or indirectly competes with the Business in any country in which the Business operates as of the date hereof, in each case, as the Business was conducted by the Seller Parties immediately prior to the date of this Agreement and/or the Closing (the “Seller Prohibited Activities”).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.10(a), the Seller Parties and each of their Affiliates may:

(i) own, collectively, directly or indirectly, solely as a passive investment, securities of any Person that engages in any Seller Prohibited Activities, if the Seller Parties own no more than 10% of any class of voting securities of such Person;

(ii) acquire and thereafter continue to operate any Person that engages in any Seller Prohibited Activities, or the assets of any such Person, if less than 30% of the most recent annual gross revenues of such Person or assets (based on such Person’s latest annual consolidated financial statements) were derived from any of the Seller Prohibited Activities;

(iii) provide services of any kind to U.S. federal government, related Governmental Entities, and customers and distributors supporting the U.S. federal government and related Governmental Entities; or

(iv) provide services as part of Seller Parties’ space services and design-build businesses, including payload hosting, satellite launch and deployment, design and build, mission

operations, maintenance, and similar services, (regardless of how such assets may be titled or accounted for) to third parties, even where such services involve AIS receivers; and

(v) otherwise engage in the Retained Business, as conducted during the 12 months preceding the date hereof and reasonable extensions thereof.

(c) The Parties agree that the Aggregate Purchase Price is consideration for the securities of the Target Companies and that no part of the Aggregate Purchase Price relates to a restrictive covenant, including any of the covenants contained in this Agreement. The parties further acknowledge and agree that no proceeds are received or receivable by the Seller Parties for granting such restrictive covenants and that such restrictive covenants are integral to this Agreement and are intended to maintain or preserve the fair market value of the Target Companies. It is the Parties’ intention that subsection 56.4(7) of the Tax Act and any equivalent provision of the Tax legislation of any province or any other jurisdiction apply with respect to any restrictive covenants granted pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that section 56.4 of the Tax Act requires the filing of one or more joint elections in order to apply, the Parties agree to make one or more joint elections to have the provisions of section 56.4 of the Tax Act, and any equivalent or corresponding provision under applicable provincial or territorial Law, apply in respect of any such covenants. Such joint election will reflect that, for purposes of the Tax Act, the Parties have each allocated no consideration to any restrictive covenants granted.

7.11 Intellectual Property Rights Licenses.

(a) Seller Parent hereby grants, on behalf of itself and the Seller Parties, with effect from Closing, to the Buyers, Target Companies and their Affiliates, a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable (only as transferred with the Business (in whole or in material part)), sublicensable (in multiple tiers), royalty‑free and fully paid-up license to use and exploit the Retained Maritime IP, solely for the purpose of conducting the Business, taking the full and unrestricted benefit of, and discharging any burdens or obligations under or with respect to, the In-Scope Assets, and otherwise taking the full and unrestricted benefit of, or using, holding for use, practicing, exploiting, licensing, distributing or otherwise making available the Maritime Products and In-Scope Assets.

To the extent within its reasonable possession or control, Seller Parties shall provide Buyers with electronic copies of tangible embodiments of any Retained Maritime IP (including any Retained Maritime Software), including as may be contemplated and agreed in the Transition Services Agreement. Any derivatives or improvements to Retained Maritime IP (including any Retained Maritime Software) created or developed by any Buyer, Target Company or any of their Affiliates, under the foregoing licenses, shall

be owned by the applicable Buyer, Target Company or Affiliate. Each of the foregoing licenses shall be enforceable by the beneficiaries of such licenses.

(b) CanadaCo hereby grants to the Seller Parties, with effect from Closing, a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable (only as transferred with the Retained Business (in whole or in material part)), sublicensable (in multiple tiers), royalty free and fully paid‑up license under its rights in and to the CD IP used by the Seller Parties in the conduct of the Retained Business prior to Closing to use and exploit that CD IP within the field of AIS data (i.e., systematic data distilled from broadcasts of AIS messages) applications and then solely for the purpose of conducting the Retained Business.

11.2 No Recourse; Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a) All representations and warranties and all covenants and obligations of Seller Parent set forth in this Agreement (other than those covenants and agreements that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part (but only to the extent of such part) at or after the Closing (collectively, the “Post-Closing Covenants”)) shall terminate at the Closing (the “Expiration Date”) and it is the intention of the Parties, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, that the Expiration Date supersede any applicable statutes of limitations with respect to such representations, warranties and covenants; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall relieve any Person from any Liability or damages resulting from such Person’s Fraud (it being understood that no Person shall be liable for any Fraud committed by any other Person) and (ii) each Post-Closing Covenant shall survive until such covenant is performed or otherwise expires in accordance with its terms.

(b) Buyer Parent (on behalf of itself, its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Target Companies) and its and its Affiliates’ Representatives, collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action which any Buyer Party may have against any Seller Party and any of its equityholders or Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Non-Recourse Parties”) arising out of, relating to or otherwise resulting from the Transactions; provided, however, that such waiver shall not limit the Liability of any Seller Non-Recourse Party for any Fraud committed by such Person. Buyer Parent (on behalf of the Buyer Parties) agrees that, from and after the Closing, under no circumstances will the Seller Non-Recourse Parties have any Liability or responsibility to any of the Buyer Parties for any losses or other Liabilities relating to or arising from any actual or alleged breach of any representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement to have been performed prior to the Closing set forth in this Agreement (or any Exhibit, Schedule or certificate delivered hereunder), including by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties or covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement that are to be performed prior to the Closing, any certificate, instrument, opinion or other documents delivered

From and after the Closing, the Buyer Parties shall have no recourse of any kind to Seller Parent, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives under any theory of law or equity, including under any control person liability theory, for any action or inaction of the Seller Non-Recourse Parties, or the Business, in each case prior to the Closing, except for any claim of Fraud with respect to the representations and warranties in Section 3 or Section 4 of this Agreement. Buyer Parent and each other Buyer Party acknowledges and agrees that each of the Seller Non-Recourse Parties are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 11.2.

11.3 No Implied Representations; Non-Reliance. The Parties acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in Section 3, Section 4 and Section 5, none of the Parties has made or is making any representations or warranties whatsoever, implied or otherwise. Buyer Parent hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Buyer Parent has conducted its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the business, results of operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or assets of the Business and the Target Companies, and acknowledges that it has been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, assets, premises, books and records, and other documents and data of the Business and the Target Companies for such purpose. Buyer Parent acknowledges and agrees that: (i) in making its decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to consummate the Transactions, Buyer Parent has relied solely upon its own investigation and the express representations and warranties of Seller Parent set forth in Section 3 and Section 4 (in each case, including, and subject to, the related portions of the Disclosure Schedule) and disclaims reliance on any other representations and warranties of any kind or nature express or implied (including, but not limited to, any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, assets or Liabilities or prospects of the Business or the Target Companies); and (ii) none of the Seller Parties or any other Person has made any representation or warranty as to any Seller Party or the Business or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding any Seller Party or the Business furnished or made available to Buyer Parent and its Representatives, except, with respect to representations of Seller Parent, as expressly set forth in Section 3 or Section 4 (including, and subject to, the related portions of the Disclosure Schedule).

(b) In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Business and the Target Companies by Buyer Parent and its Affiliates, stockholders, shareholders and/or Representatives, Buyer Parent and its Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives have received and may continue to receive after the Agreement Date from the Target Companies and its Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan information, regarding the Business and the Target Companies. Buyer Parent hereby acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, and that Buyer Parent will have no claim against any of the Target Companies or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, Representatives or advisors or any other Person, with respect thereto, including as to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided or made available, management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the Transactions. Accordingly, Buyer Parent hereby acknowledges and

agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Section 3 (including, and subject to, the related portions of the Disclosure Schedule) with respect to the Target Companies and the Business, and Section 4 with respect to Seller Parent, neither the Target Companies, nor any of its Affiliates, stockholders, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, Representatives or advisors has made or is making any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans.

(c) Buyer Parent acknowledges and agrees that it will not assert, institute or maintain any Legal Proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross‑claim, derivative claim or defense, regardless of the legal or equitable theory under which such Liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed and whether such claim is made directly or by or through any other Person, that makes any claim contrary to the agreements and covenants set forth in this Section 11.3. Each of the Seller Parties shall have the right to enforce this Section 11.3 on behalf of any Person that would be benefitted or protected by this Section 11.3 if they were a party hereto. The foregoing agreements, acknowledgements, disclaimers and waivers are irrevocable.

11.4 Wrong Pockets.

(a) If at any time after the Closing Date, any Seller Party holds any In-Scope Asset or In-Scope Liability, Seller shall (i) promptly notify Buyer Parent, and (ii) transfer, or cause each such Seller Party to transfer, at no cost, as promptly as reasonably practicable, to Buyer Parent, or an Affiliate designated by Buyer Parent, any such In-Scope Asset or In-Scope Liability, and until such time, Seller Parent or the relevant Seller Party shall hold such In-Scope Asset or In-Scope Liability for Buyer Parent’s benefit and account and manage and operate such In-Scope Asset or In-Scope Liability for Buyer Parent’s benefit and account, with all gains, income, Losses, Liabilities and Taxes or other items generated to be for Buyer Parent’s account.

(b) If at any time after the Closing Date, as applicable, any Buyer Party or any Target Company holds any Out-of-Scope Asset or Out-of-Scope Liability, then Buyer Parent shall (i) promptly notify Seller Parent, and (ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable, at no cost, transfer, or cause the relevant Buyer Party or Target Company to transfer, to any Seller Party designated by Seller, any such Out-of-Scope Asset or Out-of-Scope Liability, and until such time, Buyer Parent or the relevant Buyer Party or Target Company shall hold such Out-of-Scope Asset or Out-of-Scope Liability for Seller Parent’s benefit and account and manage and operate such Out-of-Scope Asset or Out-of-Scope Liability for Seller Parent’s benefit and account, with all gains, income, Losses, Liabilities and Taxes or other items generated to be for Seller Parent’s account.

(c) If any transfer of an In-Scope Asset, In-Scope Liability, Out-of-Scope Asset, or Out-of-Scope Liability is made pursuant to Section 11.4(a) or Section 11.4(b), no additional consideration shall be provided to any Person in respect to such transfer, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure such transfer in an equitable manner for both Seller Parent and Buyer Parent including from legal and Tax perspectives with a view to ensuring that from an economic standpoint the relevant transfer is neutral for the Parties as compared to if such transfer had occurred on the Closing Date.

11.5 Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding against (x) a Seller Party with respect to an In-Scope Liability or (y) a Target Company with respect to an Out-of-Scope Liability, then (a) such party against

whom such claim or Legal Proceeding is wrongfully asserted (the “Named Party”) shall notify Buyer Parent (where such matter is an In-Scope Liability and a Seller Party is the Named Party) or Seller Parent (where such matter is an Out-of-Scope Liability and a Target Company is the Named Party) (as applicable, the “Responsible Party”), promptly after the Named Party (or its Affiliates) receives written notice of such claim or Legal Proceeding (it being understood that any failure by the Named Party to so notify the Responsible Party shall have no effect on Responsible Party’s obligations under Section 11.4 and this Section 11.5 to the extent such failure is not prejudicial), (b) the Responsible Party shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding; and (c) the Named Party shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in any defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding.

12.10 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court

does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

12.11 Conflict of Interest. If Seller Parent so desires, and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Target Companies or Buyer Parent, Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP (“Faegre”) shall be permitted to represent Seller Parent after the Closing in connection with any matter, including without limitation, anything related to the Transactions, any other agreements referenced herein or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, Faegre shall be permitted to represent Seller Parent and any of its agents and Affiliates, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (including any litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceeding) with Buyer Parent, the Target Companies or any of their agents or Affiliates under or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any related matter, such as claims or disputes arising under other agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement, including with respect to any indemnification claims. Upon and after the Closing, the Target Companies shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with Faegre, unless and to the extent Faegre is specifically engaged in writing by the Target Companies to represent the Target Companies after the Closing and either such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to Seller Parent or Seller Parent consents in writing at the time to such engagement. Any such representation of the Target Companies by Faegre after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.

12.12 Attorney-Client Privilege. Each of Buyer Parent, Seller Parent, and the Target Companies agree that any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection, and the expectation of client confidence attaching as a result of counsel’s (whether external or internal) representation of the Target Companies in connection with the Transactions, and all information and documents covered by such privilege or protection (the “Covered Materials”), shall belong to and be controlled by Seller Parent, and not by Buyer Parent or the Target Companies, following the Closing, and may be waived only by Seller Parent, and not the Target Companies, and shall not pass to or be claimed or used by Buyer Parent or the Target Companies. Absent the consent of Seller Parent, neither Buyer Parent nor the Target Companies shall have a right to access the Covered Materials following the Closing and, in the event Buyer Parent or the Target Companies accesses Covered Materials in violation of this sentence, such access will not waive or otherwise affect the rights of Seller Parent with respect to the related privilege or protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises between Buyer Parent or the Target Companies, on the one hand, and a third party other than (and unaffiliated with) Seller Parent, on the other hand, after the Closing, then the Target Companies may assert such attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure to such Covered Materials; provided, further, that Buyer Parent and the Target Companies may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller Parent.

12.13 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 12.5 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or at law or in equity and (b) the right of

specific performance is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, none of the Seller Parties or Buyer Parent would have entered into this Agreement. The right to specific enforcement hereunder shall include the right of Seller Parent to cause Buyer Parent to purchase the Purchased Equity and to consummate the other Transactions, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
