2.3Assumption of Liabilities; Retained Liabilities.

(a)Assumed Liabilities. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Buyer shall assume effective as of the Closing, and shall thereafter pay, perform, be responsible for and discharge as and when due any and all Liabilities of the Seller to the extent relating to, resulting from, or arising out of, the past, present or future operation or conduct of the Business or ownership or use of the Sold Assets (other than the Retained Liabilities), whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing, and whether accrued or unaccrued, fixed or variable, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured or determined or determinable as of the Closing (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”). Buyer’s obligations under this Section 2.3(a) will not be subject to offset or reduction by reason of any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or any closing or other document contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, any right or alleged right of indemnification hereunder or for any other reason.

(b)Retained Liabilities. The Seller shall retain and be responsible only for the following Liabilities relating to the Business following the Closing (the “Retained Liabilities”):

(i)Liabilities for which the Seller expressly has responsibility pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(ii)Liabilities of Seller solely and to the extent related to or arising out of the Excluded Assets;

(iii)Liabilities for any transaction expenses incurred and payable by the Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iv)Liabilities for Taxes imposed on (A) Seller or its Affiliates for any tax period and (B) with respect to the Sold Assets for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.4(b);

(v)except as otherwise provided in Section 5.5, all Liabilities under or with respect to, or related to the sponsorship of, any Seller Benefit Plan;

(vi)all Liabilities arising out of any Debt Obligations of the Seller; and

(vii)Liabilities to the extent related to or arising out of the matters set forth on Schedule 2.3(b)(vii).

2.4Purchase Price. On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, in consideration of the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Sold Assets, the Buyer shall (a) pay to the Seller an aggregate amount equal to $440,000,000 (the “Closing Purchase Price”), as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.5(a), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to one or more accounts of the Seller designated at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and (b) assume the Assumed Liabilities (collectively, the “Total Consideration”). The Closing Purchase Price shall be adjusted prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.5(a). After the Closing Date, the Closing Purchase Price shall be

adjusted pursuant to Sections 2.5(b)-(e). The Closing Purchase Price, plus or minus the adjustment amount determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b)-(e), shall be the “Purchase Price.” For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Price and Total Consideration specified in this Section 2.4 do not include any Transfer Taxes. The Buyer shall pay such Transfer Taxes in accordance with Section 5.4(d) of this Agreement in addition to the Purchase Price and Total Consideration specified in this Section 2.4.

2.5Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)Pre-Closing Statement. No later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a written statement together with any relevant supporting materials (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) a balance sheet of the Business as of the Closing (the “Estimated Balance Sheet”) and (ii) the Seller’s calculation of a good-faith estimate of (A) the Closing Working Capital as derived therefrom (the “Estimated Working Capital”), and (B) the Closing Purchase Price as adjusted as provided below to give effect to the Estimated Working Capital. The Estimated Balance Sheet (and the Estimated Working Capital derived therefrom) shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Methods. The Seller shall consider in good faith any comments or objections to any amounts set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement notified to it by the Buyer prior to the Closing, and if, prior to the Closing, the Seller and the Buyer agree to make any modification to the Pre-Closing Statement, then the Pre-Closing Statement as so modified shall be deemed to be the Pre-Closing Statement for purposes of calculating the Closing Purchase Price; provided that (x) the Seller shall be under no obligation to accept any proposed modifications that the Seller determines in good faith are not appropriate and (y) it is hereby acknowledged that the acceptance of any such proposed modifications shall not constitute a condition to the Buyer’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the Seller and the Buyer fail to agree upon the amounts set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement at least two days prior to the Closing Date, then the Pre-Closing Statement as provided by the Seller shall be used for purposes of calculating the Closing Purchase Price without prejudice to the Buyer’s rights to assert such objections thereto pursuant to Section 2.5(c), and such failure of the Seller and the Buyer to agree shall have no effect on the Parties’ respective obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or require that the contemplated Closing Date be postponed or otherwise delayed. No failure by the Buyer to raise any objection or dispute pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) shall prejudice the Buyer’s right to raise any matter pursuant to Section 2.5(c). If the Estimated Working Capital (as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement) is less than the Target Working Capital, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward by an amount equal to the amount of the deficiency between the Target Working Capital and the Estimated Working Capital. If the Estimated Working Capital (as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement) is greater than the Target Working Capital, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward by an amount equal to the amount of the excess between the Estimated Working Capital and the Target Working Capital. If the Estimated Working Capital is equal to the Target Working Capital, then no adjustment shall be made to the Closing Purchase Price with respect to the Estimated Working Capital.

(b)Post-Closing Statement. Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Seller a written statement together with any relevant supporting materials (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) a balance sheet of the Business as of the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) the Buyer’s calculation of (A) the Closing Working Capital as derived therefrom (“Final Working Capital”), and (B) the Closing Purchase Price to give effect to the Final Working Capital. The Closing Balance Sheet (and the Final Working Capital derived therefrom) shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Methods.

(c)Dispute. Within 30 days following receipt by the Seller of the Post-Closing Statement, the Seller shall deliver written notice to the Buyer of any dispute it has with respect to the Post-Closing Statement (the “Post-Closing Statement Objection”) setting forth a specific description of the basis of the Post-Closing Statement Objection, the adjustments to the Post-Closing Statement which the Seller believes should be made, and the Seller’s calculation of the Final Working Capital and the Closing Purchase Price as adjusted thereby. The Seller shall be deemed to have accepted any items not specifically disputed in the Post-Closing Statement Objection. Failure to so notify the Buyer within such 30-day period shall constitute acceptance and approval of the Buyer’s calculation of the Final Working Capital and the Closing Purchase Price set forth in the Post-Closing Statement. During such 30-day period, the Buyer shall, at the request of the Seller, on reasonable prior notice from the Seller and during normal business hours, afford the Seller reasonable access to the books and records with respect to the Business (to the extent relevant to the determination of the Final Working Capital) and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Seller in connection with its preparation of the Post-Closing Statement Objection. The Buyer shall have 30 days following the date it receives the Post-Closing Statement Objection to review and respond to the Post-Closing Statement Objection. If the Seller and the Buyer are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the determination of the foregoing items by the 30th day following the Buyer’s response to the Post-Closing Statement Objection, after having used their good-faith efforts to reach a resolution, either the Seller or the Buyer shall refer their remaining differences to Ernst & Young or, if such firm refuses to accept such engagement, another nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as to which the Seller and the Buyer mutually agree acting promptly and in good faith (in either case, the “CPA Firm”) to resolve their dispute. The CPA Firm will act as an expert, not an arbitrator. As promptly as practicable, and in any event not more than 15 days after the CPA Firm is engaged, the Seller and the Buyer shall each prepare and submit a written presentation detailing each Party’s complete statement of proposed resolution of the dispute to the CPA Firm. As soon as practicable thereafter, the Seller and the Buyer shall cause the CPA Firm to choose either the Seller’s or the Buyer’s positions based solely upon the written presentations of the Seller and the Buyer. The CPA Firm shall make such determination with respect to the Final Working Capital in accordance with the Accounting Methods on a basis consistent with the Estimated Working Capital, and, in each case, only with respect to the specific remaining accounting-related differences so submitted in such written presentations. In resolving any such unresolved disputed item, the CPA Firm will not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value claimed for such item by either Party or lower than the lowest value claimed for such item by either Party in the

Post-Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Statement Objection. The Party whose position is not accepted by the CPA Firm shall be responsible for and pay all of the fees and expenses of the CPA Firm. The Buyer and the Seller each agree to execute, if requested by the CPA Firm, a reasonable engagement letter. The Seller and the Buyer shall request that the CPA Firm use its best efforts to render its determination within 45 days after referral. All determinations made by the CPA Firm will be limited to the matters submitted to the CPA Firm by the Buyer and the Seller and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, and none of the Buyer, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates shall seek further recourse from Governmental Authorities, other than to enforce the CPA Firm’s determination. Judgment may be entered to enforce such determination in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Seller and the Buyer shall make reasonably available to the CPA Firm all relevant books and records, any work papers (including those of the Parties’ respective accountants) and supporting documentation relating to the Post-Closing Statement and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm. The “Final Statement” shall be (i) the Post-Closing Statement in the event that (A) no Post-Closing Statement Objection is delivered to the Buyer during the initial 30-day period specified above or (B) the Seller and the Buyer so agree in writing, (ii) the Post-Closing Statement, adjusted in accordance with the Post-Closing Statement Objection, in the event that (A) the Buyer does not respond to the Post-Closing Statement Objection during the 30-day period specified above following receipt by the Buyer of the Post-Closing Statement Objection or (B) the Seller and the Buyer so agree in writing or (iii) the Post-Closing Statement, as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of the Buyer and the Seller or as determined by the CPA Firm together with any other modifications to the Post-Closing Statement agreed upon in writing by the Seller and the Buyer prior to the determination by the CPA Firm. Any adjustment or non-adjustment to the Purchase Price shall not form the basis for any claim for damages pursuant to this Agreement. The Parties’ payment obligations under this Section 2.5 will not be subject to offset or reduction by reason of any actual or alleged breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and any right or alleged right of indemnification hereunder or for any other reason. The process set forth in this Section 2.5(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties and their respective Affiliates for any disputes related to the Closing Purchase Price or the Purchase Price and the calculations and amounts on which they are based or set forth in the related statements and notices delivered in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the calculations to be made pursuant to this Section 2.5 are not intended to be used to adjust for errors or omissions, under GAAP or otherwise, that may be found in the Year-end Financial Information or the Target Working Capital. No event, act, change in circumstances or similar development, including any market or business development or changes in GAAP or applicable Law, arising or occurring after the Closing, shall be taken into consideration in the calculations to be made pursuant to this Section 2.5 (even if GAAP would require such matter to be taken into consideration in such calculations).

(d)Downward Adjustment. If the Closing Purchase Price set forth on the Final Statement is less than the Closing Purchase Price paid at Closing, then the

Closing Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward by an amount equal to the amount of the deficiency between the Closing Purchase Price as set forth in the Final Statement and Closing Purchase Price paid at Closing, and the Seller shall pay or cause to be paid such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to an account designated by the Buyer. Such payment shall be made within three Business Days after the later of the date on which the Final Statement is determined and the date when the Buyer designates to the Seller the payment account details.

(e)Upward Adjustments. If the Closing Purchase Price set forth on the Final Statement is greater than the Closing Purchase Price paid at Closing, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward by an amount equal to the amount of the excess between the Closing Purchase Price set forth on the Final Statement and the Closing Purchase Price paid at Closing, and the Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to an account designated by the Seller. Such payment shall be made within three Business Days after the later of the date on which the Final Statement is determined and the date when the Seller designates to the Buyer the payment account details.

(f)Payments. Any amount required to be paid by the Buyer or the Seller under this Agreement that is not paid within the period specified for such payment shall bear interest on a daily basis, from and including the date such payment was required to be made hereunder, to but excluding the date of payment, at a rate per annum equal to 200 basis points plus the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank from time to time as its prime rate in effect at its office located at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, in effect from time to time during the period from the date such payment was required to be made hereunder, to the date of payment. Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five days and the actual number of days elapsed.

2.6Allocation of Total Consideration. The Total Consideration, including any adjustments thereto, shall be allocated among the Sold Assets using the methodology set forth on Schedule 2.6. The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a proposed allocation of the amount allocated among the Sold Assets no later than 60 days after the Closing Date, and the Seller will provide any comments, questions or objections with respect thereto no later than 30 days after the delivery of the proposed allocation by the Buyer. The Parties agree that the allocation of the Total Consideration pursuant to Schedule 2.6 is in accordance with the fair market value of such Sold Assets and Section 1060 of the Code and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, any other applicable Tax Law. The Parties shall cooperate to comply with all substantive and procedural requirements of Section 1060 of the Code and any regulations thereunder and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, any other applicable Tax Law, and the allocations shall be adjusted and/or supplemented if, and to the extent, necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 1060 of the Code and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, any other applicable Tax Law. Neither the Buyer nor the Seller will take, nor permit any Affiliate to take, any position inconsistent with the allocations set forth on Schedule 2.6 or, if applicable, such adjusted or supplemental allocation.

Each of the Seller and the Buyer agrees that it shall attach to its Tax Returns for the tax year in which the Closing shall occur an information statement on Form 8594, which shall be completed in accordance with the allocations set forth on Schedule 2.6, and shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with each other in preparing and filing any supplements to such form as may be required under Section 1060 of the Code and any other applicable Tax Law. The Parties agree to notify each other with respect to the initiation of any inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or Proceeding by any Taxing Authority relating to the allocations and agree to consult with each other with respect to any such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or Proceeding by any Taxing Authority.

2.7Prorations. On the Closing Date, all utility charges and other similar periodic obligations (other than Taxes, which will be allocated as provided in Section 5.4), related to the Sold Real Property will be prorated as of the Closing Date. Whenever possible, such prorations will be based on actual, current payments by the Seller, and to the extent such actual amounts are not available, such prorations will be estimated as of the Closing Date based on actual amounts for the most recent comparable billing period. When the actual amounts become known, such prorations will be recalculated by the Buyer and the Seller, and the Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be, promptly (but not later than five Business Days after notice of payment due) will make any additional payment or refund so that the correct prorated amount is paid by each of the Buyer and the Seller.

2.8The Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to ARTICLE VIII, subject to ARTICLE VI and ARTICLE VII, the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at the offices of Jones Day, 901 Lakeside Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44114, on the third Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent legally permitted) of all of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI and ARTICLE VII (other than those conditions that are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), or at such other place and time as may be agreed upon by the Parties (including remotely via the exchange of executed documents and other deliverables through electronic transmission of portable document format). The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date”. All proceedings to be taken and all documents to be executed and delivered by all Parties at the Closing shall be deemed to have been taken and executed and delivered simultaneously, and no proceedings shall be deemed to have been taken nor documents executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed and delivered. Legal title, equitable title and risk of loss with respect to the Sold Assets will be deemed transferred to or vested in the Buyer, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be deemed effective for Tax, accounting and other computational purposes, and the Parties will treat the Closing as if it had occurred, as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing Date will not be earlier than July 1, 2022.

2.9Deliveries at the Closing.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules, the Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer as follows:

3.1Organization. The Seller is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Ohio. The Seller has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted and is duly qualified or licensed to do business and (to the extent any such jurisdiction recognizes the concept of good standing) is in good standing in the jurisdictions in which the ownership of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not have a Business Material Adverse Effect or a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

3.2Authorization; Enforceability. The Seller has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by the Seller and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Seller. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Seller and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Buyer, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at Law) (collectively, the “General Enforceability Exceptions”).

3.3Financial Information; No Undisclosed Liabilities. Attached as Schedule 3.3 are (i) the unaudited balance sheets of the Business, as of June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, and (ii) the unaudited statements of income of the Business for the years then ended (collectively, the “Year-end Financial Information”) (such balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, the “Balance Sheet” and such date, the “Balance Sheet Date”).

The Seller agrees that it shall preserve the records held by it relating to the Business in compliance with the established records retention policies of the Seller. The Buyer and the Seller agree that each shall make, or cause their respective Affiliates to make, such records and personnel available to the other and its Affiliates as may be reasonably required in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims by, legal proceedings against (other than legal proceedings by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates against the Seller or any of its Affiliates or vice versa) or governmental investigations involving, the Buyer or the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or in order to enable the Buyer or the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(b)During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Closing, the Seller shall afford the Buyer and its counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, and the Buyer shall afford the Seller and its counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, reasonable access, consistent with applicable Competition/Foreign Investment Laws, during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice to the other Party, to the properties, books, records and contracts of the Seller (with respect to the Business) (except that the Buyer shall not conduct any Phase II environmental assessment or other sampling or testing of soil, surface water, groundwater, air, soil, gas, surface or subsurface strata or other environmental media or building materials without the prior written consent of the Seller (which may be granted or denied in the Seller’s sole discretion)), on the one hand, or the Buyer and its subsidiaries, on the other hand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2(b), any access to the books and records as contemplated by

the foregoing (i) shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Seller, Buyer or their respective Affiliates, (ii) shall occur in such a manner as the applicable Person reasonably determines to be appropriate to protect the confidentiality of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) shall be by request to the applicable notice parties pursuant to Section 10.7 or to any other individual that such Person may designate in writing (including by e-mail) from time to time and (iv) shall not require any Person to provide access to, or to disclose any information to, any other Person if such access or disclosure (A) is in respect of or related to any potential dispute between the Parties, (B) would require the Seller or the Buyer to disclose any financial or proprietary information of or regarding itself or its respective Affiliates (other than the Business) or otherwise disclose information regarding itself or its respective Affiliates that such Person deems to be commercially sensitive, (C) would be in violation of applicable Laws (including any Competition/Foreign Investment Law) or the provisions of any contract to which the Seller or the Buyer or their respective Affiliates is a party or (D) would otherwise provide access to or disclose information that such Person determines would jeopardize any attorney–client privilege or other privilege of such Person or its Affiliates (provided that such Person shall have used their reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege (which efforts shall not require such Person to waive its attorney-client privilege)); provided that in the event that such Person does not provide access or information in reliance on this clause, such Person shall provide notice to the other party that such access or information is being withheld. Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide any information that is unduly burdensome to prepare and has not previously been prepared by the Seller (with respect to the Business), or that is not otherwise prepared in the ordinary course of business of the Business. The Parties agree that the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect following the execution and delivery of this Agreement as provided in Section 5.11. All information obtained by the Buyer and its counsel, accountants and representatives pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) shall be kept confidential in accordance with Section 5.11.

5.3Cooperation; Regulatory Matters.

(a)The Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, shall each use all reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable and to cooperate in obtaining any consent, approval (including export approvals and the approvals required to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 6.2, 6.3, 7.1 and 7.2), authorization or order of, and in making any registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by such Party. For purposes of this Section 5.3(a), “reasonable best efforts” shall include the obligation on the part of the Buyer, if necessary to effectuate the Closing, to comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(a), or cause the satisfaction of the conditions enumerated in Sections 6.1 6.2, 6.3, 7.1 and 7.2), to agree (i) to dispose of, divest or transfer, or to cause any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to dispose of, divest or transfer, any assets, businesses, operations or voting securities as may be necessary to permit the consummation of the

transactions contemplated in this Agreement; (ii) to license or otherwise make available, or to cause any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to license or otherwise make available, to any Person, any technology or other proprietary rights; (iii) to hold separate or cause any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to hold separate any assets, businesses, operations, or voting securities (either before or after the Closing); (iv) to terminate or modify, or cause any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to terminate or modify, any existing relationships or contractual rights; (v) to make or cause any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to make any commitment (to any Governmental Authority or otherwise) regarding its future operations or the future operations of the Business; (vi) to accept or otherwise offer such other conditions, restrictions, limitations, or agreements affecting the Buyer’s rights in its existing assets, businesses and operations or the ownership of the Sold Assets following the Closing as may be necessary to resolve any objections that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including any changes to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement at the request of any Governmental Authority; or (vii) to agree or commit to doing, or to cause any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to agree or commit to doing, any of the foregoing; provided, however, that none of the foregoing measures concerning the assets, operations, businesses, conduct, agreements, or other rights of the Seller (with respect to the Business) shall be effective unless and until the Closing has occurred. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, “reasonable best efforts” also includes the obligation on the part of the Buyer, at the Seller’s election, to vigorously contest and resist any Proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Governmental Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is in effect and that restricts, prevents or prohibits consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including reasonably pursuing administrative and judicial appeal. The Buyer shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, take any action which is intended to or which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of any Party from obtaining (or cause delay in obtaining) any necessary approvals of any Governmental Authority required for the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, from performing its covenants and agreements under this Agreement, or from consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, acquire or enter into any agreement to acquire (by merger, consolidation, acquisition of equity interests or assets, joint venture or otherwise) any Person or a portion thereof or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if such acquisition or the entering into such agreement could reasonably be expected to (A) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any Permit or Governmental Order necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any waiting period under applicable Law, (B) increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering a Governmental Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Governmental Order on appeal or otherwise, or (C) otherwise delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, shall respond as promptly as is reasonably practicable to any inquiries or requests for information or documentation

received from any Governmental Authority charged with enforcing the Competition/Foreign Investment Laws.

(b)If necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, at the time determined by the Seller and on the written notice to the Buyer of not less than ten (10) calendar days, the Buyer and the Seller will file with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice their respective notification and report forms under the HSR Act. The Parties agree to cause to be made all other required filings under any applicable Competition/Foreign Investment Law set forth on Schedule 6.1 as soon as is reasonably practicable and in accordance with the applicable Competition/Foreign Investment Law but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to between the Buyer and Seller.

(c)The Parties shall consult and cooperate with each other, and consider in good faith the views of the other, in connection with, and permit the other and its outside counsel to review in advance, subject to the applicable Competition/Foreign Investment Laws, any analyses, appearances, presentations, correspondence, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, proposals, other documents or proposed communications made or submitted by or on behalf of the that Party in connection with proceedings under or relating to any applicable Competition/Foreign Investment Law. Each Party agrees to furnish to the other or its outside counsel promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) copies of all documents and correspondence received by or on behalf of the Party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement provided that, with respect to the Seller, the foregoing shall not apply to any documents or correspondence to the extent related to the Acquisition (provided, further, that, to the extent that the Seller relies on the foregoing proviso to withhold documents or correspondence, the Seller shall use good-faith efforts to provide, to the extent feasible, copies of such documents and correspondence redacted to prevent the disclosure of information concerning the Acquisition). Subject to good-faith consultation with the Buyer, the Seller will, on behalf of the Parties, control and lead all communications and strategy relating to any litigation or to obtaining approvals, consents, waivers, registrations, permits, authorizations, actions, non-actions and other confirmations from an applicable Governmental Authority under Competition/Foreign Investment Laws required to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 6.2, 6.3, 7.1 and 7.2). The Buyer shall pay the filing fees required to be paid in connection with filings to be made under applicable Competition/Foreign Investment Law.

(d)The Parties shall not, prior to the Closing, make any filing with any Governmental Authority in respect of Competition/Foreign Investment Laws in relation to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which is not required to fulfil the conditions set out in Sections 6.1 6.2, 6.3, 7.1 and 7.2) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party to the making of such filing(s) and to its form and content.

(e)Neither the Buyer, nor any of its Affiliates or outside counsel, shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority charged with enforcing the Competition/Foreign Investment Laws regarding this Agreement unless it

consults with the Seller in advance, and, to the extent permitted, gives the Seller an opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting.

(f)Nothing in this Agreement shall impose obligations on a Party to give to the other or its counsel, accountants or other authorized representatives access to information if such access could reasonably be expected to cause the Party to be in breach of any duty of confidence or any other duty or obligation under applicable Law (including Laws affecting privacy, personal information, competition and the collection, handling, storage, processing, use or disclosure of data).

5.4Tax Matters.

(a)The Buyer and the Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business and any of the Sold Assets (including access to books and records, employees, contractors and representatives) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for or defense of any audit by any Taxing Authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or Proceeding relating to any Tax Return. Further, subject to all applicable confidentiality obligations, Seller will be permitted to retain, in its discretion, copies of any such books and records relating to any of the Sold Assets as are reasonably necessary for any of such purposes as set forth above. The Buyer and the Seller will retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Business and the Sold Assets until the expiration of all relevant statutes of limitation (and, to the extent notified by the Buyer and the Seller, any extensions thereof).

(b)Taxes imposed on or relating to the Sold Assets for the current Tax year will be prorated between the Seller and the Buyer effective as of the Closing. Proration of Taxes that are undetermined as of the Closing Date (i) will be based on the most recently available Tax rate and valuation, giving effect to applicable exemptions, recently-voted millage, change in valuation and similar items, whether or not officially certified to the appropriate Taxing Authority as of the Closing Date and (ii) will use a 365-day year. On or before the Closing, the Seller will pay all delinquent property Taxes or special assessments not contested by the Seller in good faith, which contested Taxes or assessments will remain the Seller’s obligation. When the actual amounts become known, such prorations will be recalculated by the Buyer and the Seller, and the Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be, will promptly (but not later than five Business Days after notice of payment due) make any additional payment or refund so that the correct prorated amount is paid by each of the Buyer and the Seller.

(c)If a property Tax refund that is an Excluded Asset is received by the Buyer, then the Buyer will remit such refund without set-off of any kind, including any interest paid by any Taxing Authority, to the Seller within 14 calendar days of receipt by the Buyer. The Seller and the Buyer will reasonably cooperate with each other to pursue and obtain property Tax refunds; except that the Seller retains the exclusive right to apply for property Tax refunds and to appeal property Tax assessments pertaining to all periods ending on or before the Closing Date (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Appeals”). All proceedings relating to Pre-Closing Appeals, to the extent practicable, will

be conducted by and in the name of the Seller and as directed by the Seller. The provisions of this Section 5.4(c) will survive the Closing.

(d)The Buyer will bear all excise, sales, use, registration, stamp, recording, documentary, conveyancing, franchise, transfer, transaction privilege and similar Taxes, levies, charges and fees incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”), whether or not reflected on any Tax Return. The party so required by applicable Law shall file any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes. The Buyer and the Seller will reasonably cooperate to reduce or eliminate Transfer Taxes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

5.5Employees; Employment Matters.

(a)Offers/Transfer of Employment. Prior to the Closing Date (or such time as is required by applicable Law), the Buyer will make an offer of employment, in accordance with the requirements of this Section 5.5, to each Business Employee to be effective as of the Closing Date. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to encourage all such Business Employees who are offered employment with the Buyer as described in this Section 5.5(a) to accept such offers of employment. All Business Employees who accept an offer of employment with the Buyer or its Affiliates as of the Closing Date will cease employment with the Seller and begin employment with the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer effective as of the Closing Date and are hereinafter referred to as the “Transferred Employees.” With respect to each Business Employee employed in the Business prior to the Closing Date but not actively at work as of the Closing Date due to an Authorized Leave such Business Employee will not commence employment with the Buyer unless and until the Business Employee returns to work following the Closing Date, and at such time as such Business Employee returns to work, (i) Buyer shall employ such Business Employee in the same position as his or her former position prior to the start of such Authorized Leave, and (ii) such Business Employee will become or be deemed to become a Transferred Employee for all purposes under this Agreement.

(b)Cessation of Active Participation in Seller Benefit Plans. Effective as of the Closing Date, except as required by Law or otherwise by this Section 5.5, all Transferred Employees will cease active participation in, and any benefit accrual under, each of the Seller Benefit Plans.

(c)Compensation and Benefit Plans/Prior Service. As of the Closing Date and for a period of one year thereafter, for so long as a Transferred Employee continues employment during such period, the Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to provide to each Transferred Employee, (i) base salary and wages and target short-term and long-term incentive opportunities that are no less favorable in the aggregate than provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the Seller Benefit Plans covering such Transferred Employees, except for those Seller Benefit Plans (or portions thereof) listed on Schedule 5.5(c), as in effect immediately prior to the Closing. To the extent not otherwise required by or resulting from the operation of Law and to the extent it does not

result in duplication of benefits, the Buyer shall recognize each Transferred Employee’s service with the Seller or any of its Affiliates or predecessors as of the Closing as service with the Buyer for purposes of eligibility to participate in, vesting under and accrual of benefits under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of the Buyer or any affiliate of the Buyer in which Transferred Employees participate.

(d)Severance Benefits. The Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide each Transferred Employee severance benefits as provided on Schedule 5.5(d) upon any involuntary termination without “cause” (as such term is defined on Schedule 5.5(d)) that occurs during the one year period beginning on the Closing Date.

(e)Welfare Plans. Coverage for all Transferred Employees and their respective dependents under the Seller Benefit Plans that are welfare benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA (the “Seller’s Welfare Plans”) shall cease to be effective as of the Closing Date, except that coverage under the Seller’s Welfare Plans for individuals described in the last sentence of Section 5.5(a) (and their eligible dependents) who become Transferred Employees shall cease when they become Transferred Employees. The plans sponsored by the Buyer or its Affiliates that are welfare benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA (the “Buyer’s Welfare Plans”) shall provide coverage and benefits for all Transferred Employees and their respective eligible spouses and dependents effective as of the Closing, except that coverage under the Buyer’s Welfare Plans for individuals described in the last sentence of Section 5.5(a) (and their eligible dependents) who become Transferred Employees shall commence when they become Transferred Employees. The Buyer and its Affiliates and the Buyer’s Welfare Plans shall be liable for all claims of any Transferred Employees and their respective eligible spouses and dependents on or after the Closing Date submitted pursuant to the terms of the Buyer’s Welfare Plans, to the extent such claims are incurred on or after the Closing Date and are otherwise eligible for coverage under the terms of the Buyer’s Welfare Plans. The Seller shall retain responsibility and liability for all claims of the Transferred Employees incurred before the Closing Date that are otherwise eligible for coverage under the terms of the Seller’s Welfare Plans. For purposes of this Section 5.5(e), a claim shall be deemed “incurred” on the date that the event that gives rise to the claim occurs (for purposes of life insurance, severance, sickness, accident and disability programs) or on the date that the service was rendered or the supply was purchased (for purposes of health care programs). The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any pre-existing condition limitations and eligibility waiting periods under the Buyer’s Welfare Plans (but only to the extent such pre-existing condition limitations and eligibility waiting periods were satisfied under the Seller’s Welfare Plans as of the Closing Date) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize (or cause to be recognized) the dollar amount of all expenses incurred by Transferred Employees and their respective dependents during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs under the Seller’s Welfare Plans for purposes of satisfying the deductibles and co-payment or out-of-pocket limitations for such calendar year under the relevant Buyer’s Welfare Plans.

(f)Savings Plan Rollovers. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a defined contribution plan or plans sponsored by the Buyer or its Affiliates and qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code to accept direct rollovers

(described in Section 402(c) of the Code) of distributions to which the Transferred Employees are entitled under the Parker Retirement Savings Plan including outstanding loan notes applicable to Transferred Employees and the Seller shall reasonably cooperate in connection with such rollover.

(g)Accrued Vacation. The Buyer shall credit each Transferred Employee with the accrued and unused vacation days to which such Transferred Employee is entitled through the Closing, and any personal and sickness days, or other service based leave entitlements, accrued by such employees as of the Closing Date. To the extent that the Seller is required by Law to make any payment with respect to such accrued but unused vacation and/or personal and sickness days as of the Closing, the Buyer agrees to promptly reimburse the Seller for the amount of any such payment (provided that the foregoing shall not require the Buyer to make such reimbursement payment in respect of any such Transferred Employee and also credit such Transferred Employee as contemplated by the first sentence of this clause (g)).

(h)Flexible Benefits. The Buyer shall permit the elections made by Transferred Employees for the plan year that contains the Closing Date under the applicable Seller Benefit Plans that include flexible benefits programs (the “Seller’s Flexible Account Plan”) to continue under one or more flexible benefits programs maintained by the Buyer for the benefit of the Transferred Employees (the “Buyer’s Flexible Account Plan”), which plan(s) shall be substantially comparable to the Seller’s Flexible Account Plan. After the Closing Date, the Buyer shall be liable for reimbursement of all reimbursable medical and dependent care claims incurred by the Transferred Employees in the year in which the Closing occurs, to the extent that such claims are unpaid as of the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing, the Seller shall transfer to the Buyer’s Flexible Account Plan all obligations and liabilities of the Seller’s Flexible Account Plan attributable to the Transferred Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries determined immediately prior to the Closing, and the Buyer’s Flexible Account Plan shall credit each such Transferred Employee’s flexible spending account with the balance for such Transferred Employee’s account under the Seller’s Flexible Account Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing. Each Transferred Employee eligible to participate in the Buyer’s Flexible Account Plan shall continue his or her election in effect under the Seller’s Flexible Account Plan for the remainder of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, and the Buyer’s Flexible Account Plan shall honor any claims incurred by a Transferred Employee during the calendar year that would otherwise be an eligible expense under the Seller’s Flexible Account Plan, whether or not such expense was incurred before, on or after the Closing Date. As soon as practicable after the Closing, the Seller shall transfer to Buyer in cash an amount (if greater than US $0) equal to the total amount that Transferred Employees have contributed to the Seller’s Flexible Account Plan through the Closing Date for the calendar year that includes the Closing less all amounts that have been paid from the Seller’s Flexible Account Plan through the Closing Date for medical expense and dependent care claims incurred by the Transferred Employees in the calendar year that includes the Closing (such difference, the “Flex Plan Amount”). If the Flex Plan Amount is less than US $0, as soon as practicable after the Closing, the Buyer shall transfer to the Seller in cash an amount equal to all amounts that have been paid from the Seller’s

Flexible Account Plan through the Closing Date for medical expense and dependent care claims incurred by the Transferred Employees in the calendar year that includes the Closing less the total amount that Transferred Employees have contributed to the Seller’s Flexible Account Plan through the Closing Date for the calendar year that includes the Closing. The Seller shall provide the Buyer with all information reasonably requested by the Buyer in order for the Buyer and the Buyer’s Flexible Account Plan to satisfy the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5(h).

(i)Continuation Coverage. The Buyer shall have the sole responsibility to offer “continuation coverage” benefits from and after the Closing Date to the Transferred Employees and “qualified beneficiaries” of such Transferred Employees for whom a “qualifying event” occurs on or after the Closing Date. The terms “continuation coverage,” “qualified beneficiaries” and “qualifying event” shall have the meanings ascribed to them under Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601-608 of ERISA.

(j)Cooperation. The Parties agree to furnish each other with such information concerning employees, employee payroll and employee benefit plans, subject to confidentiality and privacy considerations, and to take all such other action, as is necessary and appropriate to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k)No Right to Employment. Nothing herein expressed or implied shall confer upon any of the employees of the Seller, the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, any additional rights or remedies, including any additional right to employment, or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(l)No Third Party Beneficiary. No provision in this Section 5.5 shall (i) create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the Seller, the Buyer or any other Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, (ii) constitute or create, or be deemed to constitute or create, an employment agreement or (iii) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Seller or any of its Affiliates.

5.6Labor Matters. For a period of 91 days (inclusive) following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause any successor or permitted assign of any portion of the Business not to, cause or permit to be implemented any plant closing, partial closing, mass layoff or other termination of employees with respect to the Business that, either alone or in the aggregate (with each other and/or with any plant closing, partial closing, mass layoff or other termination of employees with respect to the Business occurring on or prior to the Closing Date), could reasonably be expected to create any Liability for the Seller or any of its Affiliates under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, or any similar applicable state or local Law (all together, collectively, the “WARN Act”). The Seller and the Buyer will cooperate with each other to ensure that each has the information necessary to assess their obligations with respect to notification obligations, including assessment of all lookback period contemplated by the WARN Act.

5.7Contact with Customers and Suppliers. Only with the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent may be conditioned upon a designee of the Seller being present at any meeting or conference, consistent with applicable Competition/Foreign Investment Laws, the Buyer and its representatives shall be permitted to contact and communicate with the employees, customers, suppliers and licensors of the Seller (with respect to the Business) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.8Non-Solicitation.

(a)Neither the Seller nor any of its subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, and the Seller shall cause its Affiliates not to, during the 24-month period commencing on the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, employ, hire or engage, or solicit for employment, hiring, or engagement (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise), any Key Personnel who are Transferred Employees without first obtaining the written consent of the Buyer (unless such employee is terminated by the Buyer after the Closing Date); provided that no Key Personnel shall be deemed to have been solicited by the Seller or any of its subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, for employment if such employee responded to a general solicitation or other non-directed search inquiry.

(b)In relation to Sold Contracts existing or being negotiated after award as of April 11, 2022 with customers represented by the Seller’s Group-level Key Account Managers (which customers are listed on Schedule 5.8(b)), and with the exception of contracts existing or being negotiated after award for programs which are multi-sourced between the Seller and Meggitt where the customer would otherwise expect competition between the Seller and Meggitt, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates will compete to take over the Business’ current supply position on such Sold Contracts (or relevant parts thereof) that are included in the Business for a period of 36 months after the Closing.

(c)The Seller expressly agrees that the character, duration and geographical scope of this Section 5.8 are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist as of the date of this Agreement. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 5.8 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Buyer and the goodwill related to the Business, and that any remedy at law for any breach by the Seller of its obligations under the provisions of this Section 5.8 would be inadequate, and that the Buyer would be entitled to injunctive relief in such a case. If it is ever held that any covenant in this Section 5.8 is too onerous and is not necessary for the protection of the Buyer and the Business, the Parties agree that any court of competent jurisdiction may impose such lesser restrictions that such court may consider to be necessary or appropriate properly to protect the Buyer and the Business.

5.9Further Actions.

(a)Each of the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable, including under applicable Law, and execute and deliver such documents and other

papers, as may be reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, convey, assign or transfer any Sold Asset if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer of such thereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would be prohibited by Law or would, without the consent of any third party, (i) constitute a breach or other contravention in respect thereto, (ii) be ineffective, void or voidable, or (iii) materially adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, unless and until such consent is obtained, it being understood that the Parties’ obligations to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not conditioned upon receipt of such consents, other than pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 7.1, and the Closing shall occur notwithstanding the foregoing and without any adjustment to the Purchase Price on account thereof. Prior to the Closing, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents from third parties under any Material Contract required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent not obtained prior to the Closing, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents from third parties required to sell, convey, assign or transfer any Sold Contract or other material Sold Asset, in each case as promptly as practicable after the Closing. With respect to any Sold Contract or other material Sold Asset that is not transferred prior to the Closing, from the Closing until the earliest of such time as (A) such consent is obtained, (B) 12 months following the Closing Date, and (C) in the case of any Sold Contract, the earlier of the expiration of the term thereof or the execution of a replacement contract by the Buyer or its Affiliate (the “Consent End Date”), the Parties will cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to implement any arrangement reasonably acceptable to the Buyer intended to both (1) provide the Buyer, to the fullest extent practicable, the claims, rights and benefits of the applicable Sold Asset and (2) cause the Buyer to bear, from and after the Closing, all costs and burdens of such Sold Asset to the extent constituting Assumed Liabilities. When the requisite consent is obtained, the applicable Sold Asset will be deemed to have been automatically assigned and transferred to the Buyer on the terms set forth in this Agreement for no additional consideration and without the requirement of any further action by any Person, as of the Closing, except to the extent that the date of such consent is deemed by applicable Law to have occurred on another date, in which case, as of such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (x) the Seller shall not have any further obligation under this Section 5.9 with respect to any consent of any third party that is not obtained on or prior to the Consent End Date; (y) the Seller and its Affiliates shall not have any obligation to make any payments or other concession, incur any other Liability, or commence or participate in any Proceeding to obtain any consent for any third party; and (z) the Seller shall not have any Liability whatsoever arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents that may have been required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default under, or acceleration or termination of any Sold Contract or other Sold Asset as a result thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to obtain any consents from any third parties or provide alternate

arrangements (and the failure to do so shall not be deemed a breach of the Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder or to contribute to a Business Material Adverse Effect) other than the undertaking to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents pursuant to this Section 5.9(b). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.9 to the contrary, with respect to any Sold Asset that is a Government Prime Contract, Section 5.18, not this Section 5.9, shall apply and control with respect to obtaining any Novation Agreement for any such Government Prime Contracts.

(c)Following the Closing, the Buyer and the Seller agree to promptly remit to the other Party (or Affiliate thereof) any payments received that are owed to the other Party (or Affiliate thereof) or, in the case of the Buyer, the Business.

(d)The Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer in, and following the date hereof the Parties will cooperate with each other in good faith in consultation with their respective outside counsel in order to develop a plan in respect of, effectuating the transfer and/or reissuance of all Permits (including those Permits set forth on Schedule 3.6 that are designated as non-transferrable) and approvals necessary to permit the continued conduct of the Business after the Closing in all material respects in the same manner as conducted immediately prior to the date of this Agreement.

(e)If, after the Closing, the Seller or the Buyer identifies any Intellectual Property owned by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller that as of the Closing Date should have been but inadvertently was not previously transferred by the Seller to the Buyer as Sold Intellectual Property, subject to any required approval of any third party, the Seller shall, if and to the extent otherwise consistent with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Intellectual Property to the Buyer for no additional consideration. If, after the Closing Date, the Seller or the Buyer identifies any Intellectual Property that was transferred by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller which should not have been Sold Intellectual Property as of the Closing Date, subject to any required approval of any third party, the Buyer shall promptly transfer such Intellectual Property to the Seller or its designated Affiliate for no additional consideration if and to the extent otherwise consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Prior to any such transfer, the Person receiving or possessing such asset shall hold such asset in trust for such other Person. To the extent a representative of the Buyer has questions relating to the Sold Assets or Shared Intellectual Property after the Closing Date, the Seller shall instruct its representatives to cooperate on a commercially reasonable basis to answer such questions.

(f)

(i)Promptly following the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall engage an internationally recognized public accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) to audit the financial statements of the Business as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, and for the years then ended (the “Business Financial Statements”). If required by the Securities Laws to be filed as an exhibit to a

Current Report on Form 8-K by Kaman Corporation pursuant to Item 2.01 of Form 8-K in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to engage the Accounting Firm to review the unaudited financial statements of the Business as of and for the periods required by Regulation S-X under the Securities Laws (the “Interim Business Financial Statements”, and together with the Business Financial Statements, the “Additional Business Financial Statements”). Any and all fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in connection with the engagement of the Accounting Firm that are incurred by the Seller or its Affiliates shall be reimbursed by the Buyer promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) in immediately available funds after receipt from the Seller of one or more invoices with respect thereto delivered from time to time after the date hereof. In addition, to facilitate the preparation of the Additional Business Financial Statements by the Seller and any audit of the Business Financial Statements, the Buyer acknowledges that the Seller may engage an accounting firm(s) or other advisors (the “Other Advisors”) to assist the Seller’s internal financial reporting team and that any and all fees and expenses of the Other Advisors in connection with this engagement of the Other Advisors that are incurred by the Seller or its Affiliates shall be reimbursed by the Buyer promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) in immediately available funds after receipt from the Seller of one or more invoices with respect thereto delivered from time to time after the date hereof. Also, the time that the Seller’s internal financial reporting team works on the preparation and audit and/or review of the Additional Business Financial Statements shall be charged at a rate of $175 per hour and shall be reimbursed by the Buyer promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) in immediately available funds after receipt from the Seller of one or more invoices with respect thereto delivered from time to time after the date hereof;

(ii)The Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts (A) to assist, and cause its respective officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors and other representatives, including the Other Advisors, to commence the preparation of the Business Financial Statements as soon as practicable after the date hereof and (B) to prepare the Business Financial Statements and provide information on a timely basis to the Accounting Firm for the Accounting Firm to be able to complete the audit of the Business Financial Statements prior to the Closing; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (1) delivery of the Additional Business Financial Statements, and any audit of the Business Financial Statements and/or any review of any Interim Business Financial Statement, on or prior to the Closing is not a condition to the Closing and shall not be taken into account with respect to whether any condition to Closing set forth in ARTICLE VI or ARTICLE VII shall have been satisfied, (2) neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates is making any representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding the Additional Business Financial Statements, including the financial results that are actually reflected in the Additional Business Financial Statements, and (3) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller’s obligations contemplated by this

Section 5.9(f) shall be deemed satisfied unless the Seller has knowingly and willfully materially breached its obligations under this Section 5.9(f).

(iii)From and after the date hereof and continuing through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, upon reasonable request from the Buyer, the Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide the Buyer with access to all financial and other information pertaining to the Business relating to the period of the Seller’s ownership and operation of the Business, which information is necessary to enable Kaman Corporation to comply with its reporting obligations under the Securities Laws, including the preparation of any pro forma financial statements required by Regulation S-X under the Securities Laws; provided that all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Sellers or their Affiliates or representatives, including the Accounting Firm and/or the Other Advisors and/or the Seller’s internal financial reporting team (charged at the rate specified in clause (f)(i) above), in connection therewith shall be reimbursed by the Buyer promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) in immediately available funds after receipt from the Seller of one or more invoices with respect thereto delivered from time to time after the date hereof; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be required to provide any information pursuant to this Section 5.9(f)(iii) (A) in connection with any litigation or similar dispute between the Parties, or (B) where, upon the advice of counsel, such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege or protection of such Party or contravene any Laws, contracts or obligation of confidentiality owed to a third party.

(iv)The Seller shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed regarding the status of the preparation of the Business Financial Statements and the audit thereof and if applicable, the preparation of any Interim Business Financial Statements and the review thereof, including hosting every three weeks unless the Parties otherwise agree a conference call of appropriate length between a representative of the Seller, a representative of the Business and a representative of the Buyer.

5.10Bulk Transfer Laws. The Buyer and the Seller hereby waive compliance with any bulk transfer Laws applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.11Confidentiality.

(a)The Buyer hereby confirms and agrees that, with respect to any information directly or indirectly furnished by or on behalf of the Seller, whether before, on or after the date hereof, the Buyer shall continue to be bound by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b)The Buyer understands and agrees that the Seller is making available confidential information and trade secrets to the Buyer concerning the operations of the Seller and the Business, which information would be damaging to the Seller and its Affiliates if disclosed to a competitor or made available to any other

Person, and that such information has been divulged in confidence. The Buyer acknowledges that after the Closing Date the Seller and its Affiliates could be irreparably damaged if any nonpublic or proprietary information about the Seller or its Affiliates that does not relate to the Business, the Sold Assets, or the Assumed Liabilities were disclosed by the Buyer or its Affiliates after the Closing to any Person other than the Seller or its Affiliates, and the Buyer will not, and will cause its officers, directors, employees and other Affiliates not to, following the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the Seller, disclose or use (or permit to be disclosed or used) in any way any such information, unless (i) compelled to disclose such confidential information by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of its counsel, by other requirements of Law and, in any such event, the Buyer shall, to the extent practicable, give the Seller prompt written notice of any such requirement prior to any such disclosure, (ii) such confidential information is generally available to the public through no fault of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or (iii) such confidential information is publicly disclosed by the Buyer or its Affiliates with the Seller’s prior written consent.

(c)The Seller acknowledges that the Seller knows confidential information about the Business, the Sold Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and agrees that, following the Closing, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees and other Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, disclose or use (or permit to be disclosed or used) in any way any such information, unless (i) compelled to disclose such confidential information by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of its counsel, by other requirements of Law and, in any such event, the Seller shall, to the extent practicable, give the Buyer prompt written notice of any such requirement prior to any such disclosure, (ii) such confidential information is generally available to the public through no fault of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, or (iii) such confidential information is publicly disclosed by the Seller or its Affiliates with the Buyer’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 5.11(c), confidential information about the Business, the Sold Assets or the Assumed Liabilities does not include any generic or principal knowledge and experience, ideas and concepts retained in the unaided memories of individuals associated with the Seller.

5.12Use of Names Following Closing and Other Intellectual Property.

(a)After the Closing, the Buyer and its Affiliates shall not use the Retained Names and Marks, except that for a transitional period of 36 months after the Closing Date, the Seller hereby grants, and causes each relevant subsidiary to grant, to the Buyer (or its designee(s)), effective as of the Closing Date, a royalty-free, fully paid-up, nonexclusive, indivisible, non-sublicensable, non-assignable and otherwise non-transferable limited right and license to use the marks “Parker” and “Parker Hannifin” and the “Parker” and “P” logos included in the Retained Names and Marks (the “Parker Marks”) solely to the extent used by the Business in a manner consistent with the Business’s use of the Retained Names and Marks in the ordinary course of business of the Business as operated by the Seller as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Transitional License”), and for the avoidance of doubt, such Transitional License will not apply to any products or services other than the products and services of the

Business sold or provided by the Business as of immediately prior to the Closing; provided that:

(i)any goodwill generated through the Buyer’s use of the Parker Marks pursuant to this Section 5.12(a) will inure to the benefit of the Seller;

(ii)any products or services provided by or on the behalf of the Buyer on or in connection with the Parker Marks are used by the Buyer shall be made to quality standards that meet or exceed the standards of quality represented thereby, and otherwise that are in accordance with generally accepted practices and using the degree of care and skill which is ordinarily exercised and customary in the field to which such products and services pertain and the Seller shall have the right upon prior reasonable notice to inspect the Buyer’s facilities and operations engaged in the manufacture, distributor, provisions and/or sale of such products and services for compliance with such quality standards, and the Buyer shall promptly correct any quality deficiencies reasonably noted by the Seller;

(iii)on any products or services provided, manufactured or remanufactured, repaired, refurbished or retrofitted by the Buyer or on its behalf on or in connection with the Parker Marks are used by the Buyer, the Buyer shall prominently indicate in connection with any such services, and prominently and permanently mark or have marked on such products, or if by nature of the product it cannot be marked, then on a label applied thereto, or if by nature of the product it cannot be labelled, then on the packaging thereof, that such products have been manufactured, or remanufactured, repaired, refurbished, or retrofitted, as the case may be, by the Buyer;

(iv)the Buyer shall not in any country or jurisdiction throughout the world: (A) assert any ownership interest in or to any of the Parker Marks or any component part thereof; (B) register or attempt to register any of the Parker Marks or any component part thereof or any colorable imitation thereof (including any non-English language variation thereof), or any confusingly similar name, mark, dress, number or other designation, or any confusingly similar or dilutive name, mark, dress, number or designation; (C) contest, challenge or oppose the Seller’s ownership of, or the validity of, the Parker Marks or any registrations thereof, whether now existing or hereafter obtained, and the Buyer consents to the registration and use of the Parker Marks by the Seller or its suppliers or related entities for any and all products and services whatsoever; or (D) otherwise do anything inconsistent with the Seller’s ownership of the Parker Marks or do or cause to be done any act or thing that will in any way impair the rights of the Seller in and to the Parker Marks or the Seller’s goodwill therein or have any dilutive effect thereupon; and

(v)notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, beginning 12 months after the Closing Date, the Buyer’s use of the Parker Marks will be limited to identifying the Buyer as the new owner of the Business.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that nothing in this Section 5.12(a) shall obligate the Buyer to rebrand inventory of Parker Mark-branded

products existing at the time of the Closing, even if sold after the date that is 36 months after the Closing Date.

(b)The Seller hereby grants, and causes each relevant subsidiary and Affiliate to grant, to the Buyer (or its designee(s)), effective as of the Closing Date, a royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, nonexclusive, sublicensable right and license to use the Shared Intellectual Property solely in connection with its operation of the Business in a manner consistent with the ordinary course of business of the Business as operated immediately prior to the Closing.

5.13Notification of Certain Matters. The Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, shall give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in ARTICLES VI or VII, as the case may be, impossible; provided that a Party’s good-faith failure to comply with this Section 5.13 shall not provide the other Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates with a right not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent that such other provision of this Agreement independently provides such right.

5.14Intercompany Obligations. The Seller shall take such action and make such payments as necessary so that, as of the Closing Date, there shall be no Intercompany Obligations except to the extent reflected in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital.

5.15Shared Contracts.

(a)The Seller and the Buyer will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts, including cooperating with the other Party, to amend, modify or split any Shared Contract such that the rights or obligations of such Shared Contract which relate only to the Business are assigned, transferred or otherwise entered into on terms no less favorable as the Shared Contract prior to Closing solely with respect to the Buyer or otherwise terminate or eliminate any such rights and obligations of the Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing (such actions, the “Transition”), or if not completed prior to Closing, as promptly as practicable thereafter; provided that if the Seller and its Affiliates do not obtain or structure an arrangement to Transition any Shared Contract prior to Closing, (i) the Seller shall provide to the Buyer the benefits, and the Buyer shall bear the obligations and burdens, of such portion of any such Shared Contract that relates to and is allocated to the Business, as reasonably determined by the Seller, (ii) the Parties shall cooperate in any reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Buyer and enable the Buyer to bear such obligations and burdens and (iii) the Seller shall enforce at the request of the Buyer and for the account of the Buyer, at the Buyer’s expense, any rights of the Seller or its Affiliates arising from any such Shared Contract (including the right to elect to terminate such Shared Contract with respect to the Business in accordance with the terms thereof upon the request of the Buyer).

(b)Shared Contractual Liabilities shall be allocated between the Seller and the Buyer as follows: (i) if a Liability is incurred solely in respect of the Business or the Excluded Business, such Liability shall be allocated to the Buyer (in respect of the

Business) or the Seller (in respect of the Excluded Business); and (ii) if a Liability cannot be so allocated under clause (i), such Liability shall be allocated to the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, based on the relative proportion of total benefit received by the Business and the Excluded Business under the relevant Shared Contract, as mutually agreed by the Seller and the Buyer, with any disputes subject to the applicable dispute resolution mechanism of the CPA Firm pursuant to Section 2.5(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Seller and the Buyer shall be responsible for any or all Liabilities arising from its (or its Affiliates’) direct or indirect breach of any Shared Contract.

5.16Release. From and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the Buyer, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, equityholders, Representatives, agents and successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Releasing Parties”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Seller, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, equityholders, Representatives, agents and successors and permitted assigns (excluding any Person who continues to be a director, member, officer, employee, Affiliate, equityholder, agent or Representative of the Buyer Releasing Parties after the Closing, collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”) of and from any and all causes of action, Proceedings, executions, judgments, duties, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, contracts and covenants (whether express or implied), and claims and demands whatsoever which the Buyer Releasing Parties may have against each of the Seller Released Parties, now or in the future, in each case in respect of any cause, matter or thing (a) relating to the operation of the Business, the Sold Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any Exhibit or the Disclosure Schedules or any Ancillary Agreement, information provided, certificate or other document entered into, made, delivered or made available in connection herewith, or as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (b) with respect to the accuracy of, any omission or concealment of, or any misstatement with respect to, any potentially material information regarding the Business, the Sold Assets, or the Assumed Liabilities, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), whether arising under, or based upon, any Law (including common law); provided that this release shall not affect any Buyer Releasing Parties’ rights under this Agreement to bring claims against the Seller: (i) related to any Retained Liabilities under the express terms of this Agreement, (ii) indemnification claims pursuant to Section 9.2 or (iii) for Fraud (the “Specified Claims”). Furthermore, without limiting the generality of this Section 5.16, except for the Specified Claims, no claim or cause of action will, directly or indirectly, be brought or maintained by, or on behalf of, the Buyer or any of its Affiliates against the Seller or its Affiliates and no recourse will be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of, or based upon, any alleged breach of duty, misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Seller or any other Person set forth or contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit or the Disclosure Schedules or any Ancillary Agreement, information provided, certificate or other document entered into, made, delivered or made available in connection herewith, or as a result of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Buyer agrees, on behalf of itself

and the Buyer Releasing Parties, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Seller Released Parties from and against, and in respect of, any and all Losses incurred by or on behalf of any Seller Released Party as a result of any such Proceeding brought or maintained by any member of the Buyer Releasing Parties against any Seller Released Party in contravention of this Section 5.16. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 5.16 (A) require performance after the Closing to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and will survive the Closing for 20 years and (B) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and that, without the agreements set forth in this Section 5.16, none of the Parties would enter into this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 5.16 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by the Seller Released Parties referenced in this Section 5.16 and each such Person shall be a third party beneficiary of this Section 5.16.

5.17Insurance.

(a)All Business Insurance Policies held in the name of the Seller or any of its Affiliates will remain in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time, except with respect to any Shared Seller Policies, coverage thereunder for any period after the Closing will be discontinued by the Seller (with respect to the Business); provided that the Seller shall and shall cause its Affiliates to use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain any Shared Seller Policies in accordance with its terms. To the extent requested in writing from time to time by the Buyer from and after the Closing Date, the Seller or any Affiliates shall file and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue on behalf of the Buyer (at the sole cost and expense of the Buyer, including any deductibles paid or increases in premiums) any claims with respect to the Business that are insured or may potentially be insured, whether in whole or in part, under any Shared Seller Policies. From and after the Closing, the Buyer will be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for its operation of the Business, other than any Shared Seller Policies. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if, after the Closing, the Seller or its Affiliates obtains an insurance recovery in respect of any loss incurred by the Business (i) under the Shared Seller Policies, (ii) in connection with the matter set forth on Schedule 3.12(c)(1), or (iii) under the policy set forth on Schedule 5.17(a) with respect to a claim made related to wrongful acts which occurred prior to the Closing Date, then the Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to promptly pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the amount of the applicable recovery actually received by the Seller or its Affiliates that relates specifically to the Business.

(b)The Seller or any of its Affiliates may amend in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, effective at or prior to the Closing, any Business Insurance Policies to give effect to this Section 5.17.

5.18Novation.

(a)Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Seller or any of its Affiliates shall prepare (with the assistance of each of the Buyer or any of its designated Affiliates), in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) Subpart 42.12 and any applicable agency regulations or policies, a written request and documentation meeting the requirements of FAR 42.1204, which shall be submitted by

the Seller, with the consent of the Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to the Responsible Contracting Officer (as determined by the process under FAR 42.1202) to (i) recognize the Buyer, or one of its designated subsidiaries, as successor-in-interest of the Seller (or its Affiliate) to each Government Prime Contract and (ii) enter into a novation agreement (a “Novation Agreement”) in the form and substance as set forth in FAR Subpart 42.1204(i) that shall be deemed reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Seller, pursuant to which, subject to the requirements of FAR Subpart 42.12, all of the right, title and interest of the Seller (or its Affiliate) in and to, and all of the obligations and liabilities of the Seller (or its Affiliate) under each Government Prime Contract shall be validly conveyed, transferred, assigned and novated to the Buyer or any of its designated subsidiaries. The Buyer or any of its designated subsidiaries and the Seller or any of its designated Affiliates shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required for the purpose of processing, entering into and completing the Novation Agreements, including, promptly and in coordination with the other Party, responding appropriately to any requests from any contracting officer or Governmental Authority relating to such Novation Agreements.

(b)In the interim period between (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the novation of each of the Government Prime Contracts or final close-out and payment of such Government Prime Contracts, whichever first occurs (as to each individual Government Prime Contract, the “Pre-Novation Period”):

(i)To the maximum extent permitted by Law or any Government Prime Contract, the Buyer or its designated subsidiary will perform the Seller’s or its Affiliate’s obligations under each of the Government Prime Contracts on behalf of the Seller or its Affiliate, in accordance with the Pre-Novation Subcontract Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that the transfer or assignment of a Government Prime Contract is subject to the applicable Governmental Authority’s approval of a Novation Agreement recognizing the Buyer (or its designated subsidiary) as the successor-in-interest to the Seller (or its Affiliate). Unless and until the Governmental Authority recognizes the Buyer (or its designated subsidiary) as the successor-in-interest to the Seller (or its Affiliate) under any Government Prime Contract on the same terms and conditions provided in such Government Prime Contract (including all modifications made), (A) the Seller or its Affiliate shall subcontract to the Buyer (or its designated subsidiary) all of the Seller’s or its Affiliate’s rights and obligations under such Government Prime Contract to the maximum extent permissible under Law, and (B) such Government Prime Contract will constitute an Excluded Asset.

(ii)Any modification to a Government Prime Contract that is included as a Sold Contract and approved by the Buyer and the Seller during the Pre-Novation Period will be duly executed by the Seller or its Affiliate.

(iii)During the Pre-Novation Period, any communications, correspondence, invoices or other written submissions concerning the Government Prime Contracts, including Government Bids, requests for equitable adjustments, claims, contract modifications and requests for final decisions will

be prepared by the Buyer in the name of the Seller or its Affiliate and coordinated with and submitted for review and approval, and certification, if appropriate, of the Seller or its Affiliate (which approval and certification may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), signed or certified promptly by the Seller or its Affiliate, if approved, and submitted by the Seller to the applicable Governmental Authority. Any such written communications concerning the Government Prime Contracts initiated by the Governmental Authority customer or a third party and received by the Seller shall be promptly forwarded to the Buyer by the Seller. The Seller shall respond promptly to any request for approval. The Buyer shall submit all information reasonably necessary or requested by the Seller for the Seller to provide such approval.

(iv)During the Pre-Novation Period, the Seller will be responsible for preparing and certifying all pre-Closing Date cost claims, including all of the Seller’s or its Affiliate’s direct, indirect, general and administrative cost claims, for each Government Prime Contract through the Closing Date. During the Pre-Novation Period, the Seller will submit such claims to the contracting officer and will keep the Buyer reasonably informed of such claims prior to submission.

(v)During the Pre-Novation Period, each of the Buyer and the Seller will cooperate fully at its own cost and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other to obtain novation of each Government Prime Contract that is included as a Sold Contract into the name of the Buyer (or its designated subsidiary) under substantially the same terms and conditions as in effect at the time of Closing and without materially adverse conditions upon either of the Seller or the Buyer, and to facilitate performance thereof by the Buyer (or its designated subsidiary). No Party will take any action intended to interfere with or delay novation.

(c)Following the Pre-Novation Period, the Seller will be responsible for preparing and certifying to the Buyer all pre-Closing Date cost claims, including all of Seller’s direct, indirect, general and administrative cost claims, for each Government Prime Contract through the Closing Date. The Buyer will be responsible for certifying (based on the certificate of the Seller or its Affiliate) and submitting such claims to the contracting officer. During and following the Pre-Novation Period, each of the Buyer and the Seller will cooperate with the other in preparing and submitting such claims.

5.19Certain Research and Development Matters. The Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take the actions set forth on Schedule 5.19 with respect to certain research and development projects being pursued by the Business as of the date of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI
CONDITIONS TO THE SELLER’S OBLIGATIONS

The obligation of the Seller to effect the Closing under this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions (any and all of which may be waived by the Seller in whole or in part to the extent permitted by

applicable Law); provided, however, that the Seller may not rely on the failure of any condition set forth in ARTICLE VI to be satisfied if such failure was primarily caused by the Seller’s breach of, or failure to comply with, any provision of this Agreement:

TERMINATION

8.1Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing only on the following bases:

(a)by the mutual written consent of the Seller and the Buyer;

(b)by the Seller or the Buyer if the Closing has not occurred on or before the Acquisition Longstop Date plus 90 days (the “End Date”), provided however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) will not be available to any Party whose action or failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has primarily caused the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the End Date and such action or failure to perform constitutes a breach of this Agreement in any material respect;

(c)by either the Seller or the Buyer if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a Governmental Order or taken any other action restraining, enjoining, making illegal or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby and such Governmental Order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to a Party that has breached in any material respect its agreements or covenants contained herein in any manner that has primarily caused such Governmental Order or other action or the failure of such Governmental Order or other action to be resisted, resolved or lifted; or

(d)by the Seller, in the event that (i) a Governmental Authority, whose approval is required, does not approve the Buyer as a purchaser of the Business or does not approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as an appropriate remedy with respect to the Acquisition, (ii) the Offer is terminated prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, or (iii) no Governmental Authority, whose approval or clearance is required under the terms of the Offer to consummate the Acquisition, requires the Seller to divest the Business as a condition to obtaining such required regulatory approval or clearance with respect to the Acquisition.

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that except as set forth in Section 8.1(a) – (d), no Party shall have a right to terminate or rescind this Agreement. Any and all other rights of termination and/or recission arising under applicable Law are hereby expressly excluded and waived.

8.2Procedure and Effect of Termination. A Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 must give written notice of such termination to the other Party in accordance with Section 10.7, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is effective. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein:

(a)the Buyer will redeliver to the Seller all documents, work papers and other material of the Seller and the Sold Assets relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof;

(b)the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect; and

(c)all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any Party or other Person; provided that (i) this Section 8.2,

Section 5.11 and ARTICLE X shall survive termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for Fraud or Willful Breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement prior to termination.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

9.1Survival. The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing and shall terminate at the Closing. No representation or warranty shall survive the termination of this Agreement. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement which by their terms are to be performed, in whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to the Closing Date shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the covenants and agreements set forth in ARTICLE X survive the Closing. All other covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing and shall terminate at the Closing. No covenants or agreements shall survive the termination of this Agreement except to the extent provided in Section 8.2. Any claim for indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any breach of covenants or agreements that survive the Closing must be asserted in good faith and on or prior to the date of the termination of the respective survival periods set forth in this Section 9.1, except such claims may be pursued thereafter only if written notice thereof (specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such claim) was duly given within such survival period until such claim is fully and finally resolved. Any claim for indemnification with respect to any breach of covenants or agreements not made by Buyer Indemnified Persons or Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable, on or prior to the date of termination of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 9.1 will be irrevocably and unconditionally released and waived, whether or not a longer period would be permitted by applicable Law.

9.2Indemnification by the Seller. From and after the Closing and subject to this ARTICLE IX, the Seller agrees to indemnify and hold the Buyer and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys) (collectively, “Losses”), that any Buyer Indemnified Person actually suffers or incurs arising out of or resulting from:

(a)any Retained Liability; and

(b)any breach in any material respect of any covenant or agreement of the Seller contained in this Agreement that survives the Closing.

9.3Indemnification by the Buyer. From and after the Closing and subject to this ARTICLE IX, the Buyer and its subsidiaries, jointly, and severally, agree to indemnify and hold the Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and against any and all Losses that any Seller Indemnified Person actually suffers or incurs arising out of or resulting from:

(a)any Assumed Liability;

(b)any breach in any material respect of any covenant or agreement of the Buyer contained in this Agreement that survives the Closing; and

(c)the possession, ownership, use, operation and management of the Sold Assets or the Business by the Buyer (or its Affiliates) from and after the Closing.

9.4Indemnification as Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provided in this ARTICLE IX, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any Party in connection with any Losses arising out of or resulting from this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or the Buyer’s ownership or operation of the Business, whether based in contract or tort (including negligence) or otherwise predicated on common law standards, strict liability or otherwise; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not prevent or limit a cause of action at Law or in equity (a) for Fraud or (b) under Section 10.15 to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, nor shall such provision prevent or limit the rights of the Parties with respect to Section 2.5(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties irrevocably waive the right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled. The Buyer Indemnified Persons expressly waive any and all rights and remedies against the Seller under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq. as amended, and other Environmental Laws in connection with any Losses arising out of or resulting from this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or the ownership or operation of the Business or the Sold Assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that following the Closing or the termination of this Agreement it shall have no, and shall not seek any, recourse against the Seller or any of its Affiliates for any actual or alleged breaches of representations or warranties under this Agreement except in the case of Fraud.

9.5Indemnification Calculations. The amount of Losses recoverable by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE IX with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by (a) the amount of insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered by such Indemnified Party with respect to the Losses to which such indemnity claim relates and (b) all accruals or reserves (or overstatement of liabilities in respect of actual liability) included in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital in the Final Statement. An Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement. If an insurance recovery is made or a third party payment is received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (net of all direct collection costs and expenses) shall be made promptly to the Seller. The Parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

9.6Notice and Opportunity to Defend. If there occurs an event which a Party asserts is an indemnifiable event pursuant to Sections 9.2 or 9.3, the Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”), which notice shall specify the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. If such event involves any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third Person (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party will give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding, which notice shall specify the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, and shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such claim, including any summons, complaint or other pleadings that may have been served, any written demand or any other relevant document or instrument; provided, however, that the failure to provide such prompt notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party hereunder. In the case of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of such election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. An election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim shall not be deemed an admission that the Indemnifying Party is liable to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to cooperate reasonably with each other and their respective counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. If it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Section 9.6 to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such action or asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of an action, no settlement or compromise thereof may be effected (a) by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the settlement involves solely money damages and all such relief is paid or satisfied in full by the Indemnifying Party or (b) by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unnecessarily withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent.

9.7Additional Limitations.

(a)Except for Losses resulting from an action brought by a third party against a Buyer Indemnified Person or a Seller Indemnified Person, no Buyer Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification

under ARTICLE IX for punitive damages, or for lost revenues, income or profits, business interruption, diminution of value, consequential, incidental, exemplary or special damages or any damages based on any type of multiple.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE IX to the contrary, no Buyer Indemnified Person is entitled to make any claim under any provision of this Agreement for reimbursement or indemnification for any Losses pursuant to this ARTICLE IX to the extent such Losses have been reflected in the adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5. In addition, no Party shall be entitled to be compensated more than once for the same Loss.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 with respect to any Losses, to the extent (i) arising as a result of any action or omission by any such Indemnified Party after the Closing, (ii) such matter is the subject of any Ancillary Agreement, or (iii) arising as a result of any action: (A) that the Seller is required, permitted or requested to take pursuant to Section 5.1, (B) for which the Buyer has provided its written consent, or (C) that the Seller, having sought the Buyer’s consent pursuant to Section 5.1, did not take as a result of the Buyer having withheld, conditioned or delayed the requested consent.

(d)No Party shall be entitled to recover any indemnification payment or other amounts due from the other Parties under this Agreement by retaining and setting off the amounts (whether or not such amounts are liquidated or reduced to judgment) against any amounts due or to become due from such Party under this Agreement or under any document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, including any Ancillary Agreement.

(e)The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which a Party is obligated to indemnify the other Party under this Agreement, including by making all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability in accordance with applicable Law.

9.8Certain Acknowledgements. The Buyer unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that (a) the terms of ARTICLE VI, ARTICLE VII, ARTICLE VIII and this ARTICLE IX are an integral part of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) without the terms of ARTICLE VI, ARTICLE VII, ARTICLE VIII and this ARTICLE IX, the Seller would not enter into this Agreement or otherwise agree to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.9R&W Insurance Policy. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that if the Buyer or any of its Affiliates obtains or binds a representation and warranty insurance policy (each, a “R&W Insurance Policy”) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, such R&W Insurance Policy shall provide, at all times, that: (a) the insurers shall have no, and shall waive and not pursue any and all subrogation rights against the Seller or any of its Affiliates except for Fraud by the

Seller; (b) the Seller is a third party beneficiary of such waiver of subrogation rights; and (c) the Buyer shall have no obligation under the R&W Insurance Policy to pursue a claim against the Seller in connection with any Losses. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the issuance of a R&W Insurance Policy in favor of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates is not a condition to the Buyer’s obligation under this Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

10.1Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall be liable for and shall bear its own expenses and the expenses of its Affiliates in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the performance and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.

10.2Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction. The Parties agree that (a) the requirements of 6 Del. C. Section 2708 are satisfied and that the statute mandates the application of Delaware law to this Agreement, the relationship of the Parties, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the Parties, (b) no other jurisdiction has a materially greater interest in the foregoing, and (c) the application of Delaware law would not be contrary to the fundamental policy of any other jurisdiction that, absent the Parties’ choice of Delaware law, would have an interest in the foregoing.

10.4Amendment. Subject to clause (h) of Section 10.19, this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by the Parties.

10.5No Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the Buyer, in the case of any assignment by the Seller, and the Seller, in the case of any assignment by the Buyer.

Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Governmental Authority Settlement Documents, the Governmental Authority Settlement Documents shall prevail and control.

10.9Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and counterparts may be exchanged by electronic submission, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and each of which shall be deemed an original.

10.10Publicity. Prior to the Closing, the Seller and the Buyer will consult with each other and will mutually agree upon any publication or press release of any nature with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such publication or press release prior to such consultation and agreement except as may be required by applicable Law or Governmental Order or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any securities exchange or any securities exchange regulation, in which case the Party proposing to issue such publication or press release shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other Party before issuing any such publication or press release and shall provide a copy thereof to the other Party prior to such issuance. After the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been announced, the Seller and its Affiliates and the Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to respond to questions in the

ordinary course or issue any press release or make any other public statement that, in each case, is consistent (as to nature and scope) with any public statements previously issued or made by it in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.10.

10.11Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.12Third Parties. Except for Section 5.16 and the Buyer Indemnified Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 9.2 and Section 9.3, respectively, and except for Section 10.19, nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the Parties and their permitted successors or assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.13Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Seller or its Affiliates shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Seller under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Buyer or its Affiliates shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Buyer under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

10.14Jurisdiction. Any proceeding or action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court shall be unavailable, any other court of the State of Delaware or, in the case of claims to which the federal courts have exclusive subject matter jurisdiction, any federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding or action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the proceeding or action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any proceeding or action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other Party in any other

jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any action, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to this Section 10.14.

10.15Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other Party and that such other Party will not have an adequate remedy at Law. Therefore, the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, including Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Sold Assets, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any Party may have under this Agreement or otherwise. The Parties hereby waive in any such proceeding the defense of adequacy of a remedy at Law and any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or any other security related to such equitable relief.

10.16Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTIES MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT OR ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NEITHER IT NOR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT IT WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. FURTHER, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OTHER PARTY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

10.17Privileged Communications. All communications involving attorney-client confidences between a Transferred Employee, on the one hand, and counsel to the Seller, on the other hand, in connection with the consideration, negotiation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (the “Privileged Communications”) shall belong solely to the Seller following the Closing and may be waived only by the Seller. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any Proceeding or dispute between the Seller or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other hand, only the Seller may waive any evidentiary privilege that may attach to a pre-Closing communication or other Privileged Communication that is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be subject to attorney-client privilege, and the Buyer shall have no right to compel disclosure of such privileged information. Absent the prior written consent of the Seller, neither the Buyer nor any Transferred Employee shall take any action to waive such privilege or assert that the attorney-client privilege of the Seller related to such Privileged Communications was waived due to the inadvertent transfer of attorney-client privileged material by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.18Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to guarantee the punctual and complete discharge of all of the obligations of the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, as a primary obligor and not merely

as a surety, and is a signatory of this Agreement solely for such purpose. Whenever this Agreement requires the Buyer to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Guarantor to cause the Buyer to take such action and an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of performance thereof. If the Buyer fails to discharge any of its payment or performance obligations and responsibilities when due, then such obligation shall become immediately due and payable and the Seller may at any time and from time to time, and so long as the Buyer has failed to pay or perform such obligation in part or in full, take any and all actions available hereunder to collect or obtain performance of such obligation from the Guarantor. The Seller will not be required to give notice or make any demand upon, or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, the Buyer prior to exercising its rights under this Section 10.18, and no delay or omission on the part of the Seller in exercising its rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver or relinquishment of such rights or remedies. The Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 10.18 are independent of the obligations of the Buyer, and a separate action or actions may be brought against the Guarantor whether or not action is brought against the Buyer and whether or not the Buyer is joined in any such action or actions. The Seller shall not be required to exhaust its recourse against the Buyer or any collateral securing any obligation before requiring or being entitled to payment from the Guarantor under this Section 10.18. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Guarantor hereby waives any and all defenses available to it as a guarantor or surety. The liability of the Guarantor under this Section 10.18 shall be absolute, unconditional and continuing, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity, legality, or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement, or avoidance or subordination of any of the obligations under this Agreement; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, or any increase in the amount of, all or any of the obligations under this Agreement; (c) the absence of any notice or of attempt to collect any of the obligations under this Agreement from the Buyer or the election of any remedy by the Seller; (d) any waiver, release, adjustment, renewal, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by the Seller with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any obligations under this Agreement; (e) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, receivership, marshaling of assets, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other similar proceeding affecting the Buyer; (f) the disallowance, under any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding of all or any portion of the claim, (g) the assignment of this Agreement by the Buyer or the Seller; (h) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Buyer; (i) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Guarantor may have at any time against the Buyer; and (j) the adequacy of any other means the Seller may have of obtaining payment. If any obligations or payments made in accordance with this Section 10.18 are rescinded after receipt by the Seller, the guarantee hereunder shall be automatically reinstated as if no such payments had ever been made. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Seller that (x) the Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Connecticut, (y) the Guarantor has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Section 10.18, and (z) the Guarantor has the financial capacity to pay and perform its obligations under, in respect of or in connection with this Section 10.18.

10.19Financing Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller on behalf of itself and each of its controlled Affiliates hereby: (a) agrees that any Proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Financing Parties, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Financing or any of the agreements (including the Commitment Letter and the Existing Credit Agreement) entered into in connection with the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, so long as such forum is and remains available, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such Proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (b) agrees that any such Proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another state), except as otherwise provided in the Commitment Letter, the Existing Credit Agreement or other applicable definitive document relating to the Financing, (c) agrees not to bring or support or permit any of its Affiliates to bring or support any Proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Party in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter, the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, so long as such forum is and remains available, (d) agrees that service of process upon the Seller or its controlled Affiliates in any such Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 10.7, (e) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding in any such court, (f) knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law trial by jury in any Proceeding brought against the Financing Parties in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter, the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (g) agrees that none of the Financing Parties will have any liability to the Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter, the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise and (h) agrees that the Financing Parties are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, the provisions in this Section 10.18, and that such provisions, as well as the definition of “Financing Parties,” shall not be amended in any way adverse to the Financing Parties without the prior written consent of the applicable Financing Entities.
