1.3.Assumption and Assignment of Contracts.

(a)Sellers shall assign to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume, the Assumed Contracts at the Closing pursuant to the Sale Order, subject to the other provisions of this Section
1.5. Buyer shall pay all Cure Costs in respect of the Assumed Contracts, which shall not be the obligation, liability or responsibility of Sellers.

(b)The Sale Order shall provide for the assumption by the applicable Seller party thereto, and the assignment to the extent legally capable of being assigned by such Seller to Buyer, of each Assumed Contract.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Seller Contract shall not be an Assumed Contract hereunder and shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, Buyer to the extent that such Seller Contract is (i) deemed rejected under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) the subject of an objection to assignment or assumption or requires a Necessary Consent of any Governmental Entity or other third party (other than, and in addition to, that of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court) in order to permit the assumption and assignment by the applicable Seller to Buyer of such Seller Contract pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such objection has not been resolved or such Necessary Consent has not been obtained prior to the 90th day following the Closing (as such 90-day period may be extended by mutual agreement of Buyer and Sellers) or (iii) is terminated by any party thereto other than Sellers, or terminates or expires by its terms, on or prior to such time as it is to be assumed by Buyer as an Assumed Contract hereunder and is not continued or otherwise extended upon assumption. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the failure to assign to Buyer any Seller Contract due to the termination of such Seller Contract in accordance with subsection (ii) above, (x) reduce the Purchase Price payable to Sellers (if applicable) or
(y) constitute a failure to satisfy the conditions to the obligation of Buyer under Section 6.2.

1.4.Executory Contract Schedule.

(a)Schedule 1.6 (the “Executory Contract Schedule”) sets forth a list of all executory contracts and unexpired leases relating to the Business or the Transferred Assets to which one or more of Sellers are party (the “Available Contracts”), which Executory Contract Schedule may not be complete as of the date hereof (but, nonetheless, as of the date hereof shall include all Material Contracts) and which may be updated from time to time after the date hereof by Sellers to add any executory contracts or unexpired leases not included on such schedule as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executory Contract Schedule shall be completed and delivered to Buyer on or before the date that is fourteen (14) Business Days prior to the bid deadline set forth in the Bid Procedures Order. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer, in its sole discretion by written notice to Sellers, shall designate in writing which Available Contracts from the Executory Contract Schedule (as updated from time to time in accordance with this Section 1.6(a)) relating to the Business or the Transferred Assets that Buyer wishes to “assume” (the “Assumed Contracts”) and subject to the right of Buyer, and no later than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, determine not to “assume” any Available Contracts previously designated as an Assumed Contract; provided that Buyer shall be liable for and reimburse Seller for any administrative expense claims under sections 503, 507, and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code that (a) are incurred as a result of, arise out of, or in connection with the Available Contracts removed from the Executory Contract Schedule following the date of entry of

8



the Sale Order and (b) solely arise out of or relate to the period (whether or not invoiced during such period) subsequent to the date of entry of the Sale Order to the date of rejection of such Available Contracts. All Contracts of Sellers that are listed on the Executory Contract Schedule as of the Closing Date and which Buyer does not designate in writing for assumption shall not be considered Assumed Contracts or Transferred Assets and shall automatically be deemed “Excluded Contracts” (and for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be responsible for any related Cure Costs related to any Excluded Contracts). Upon Buyer’s reasonable request, Sellers shall provide additional detailed information as to the Liabilities under the Contracts sufficient for Buyer to make an informed assessment regarding whether to accept an assignment and assumption of such Available Contract hereunder. Sellers shall cause notices to be delivered reasonably promptly to any counterparties to Contracts that are designated as Excluded Contracts from time to time pursuant to this Section 1.6(a).

(b)Sellers shall compile and file one or more customary “cure notices” listing all then scheduled Available Contracts and asserting the Cure Costs associated with each such Available Contract (each, a “Cure Notice”). The Cure Notices shall provide that any failure by a non-Seller counter-party to timely object to the Cure Costs set forth in the applicable Cure Notice shall make the Cure Costs set forth in the Cure Notice binding.

(c)Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to establish and verify all Cure Amounts for the Contracts set forth on the Executory Contract Schedule prior to entry of the Sale Order, including, through the filing of Cure Notices. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 1.6, Buyer agrees to pay all Cure Costs required to assume the Assumed Contracts pursuant to this Section 1.6 at the Closing; provided that, prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the option to
(x) pay the Cure Costs required to assume all such Contracts or (y) designate any such Available Contracts to be an Excluded Contract; provided that Buyer shall be liable for and reimburse Seller for any administrative expense claims under sections 503, 507, and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code that (a) are incurred as a result of, arise out of, or in connection with the designation of such Available Contracts as an Excluded Contract and (b) solely arise out of or relate to the period (whether or not invoiced during such period) subsequent to the date of entry of the Sale Order to the date of rejection of such Available Contracts. At Closing, Buyer shall promptly pay all Cure Costs in connection with the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Contracts (as set forth in this Agreement, as agreed to by Buyer and the contract counterparty, or as determined by the Bankruptcy Court). Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer to facilitate the payment of the Cure Costs to the Executory Contract counterparties. Sellers shall take all actions reasonably required to assume and assign the Assumed Contracts to Buyer (other than payment of Cure Amounts, if so required), including taking all actions reasonably required to obtain an Order containing a finding that the proposed assumption and assignment of the Assumed Contracts to Buyer satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(d)Upon objection by the non-debtor Available Contract counterparty to the Cure Amount asserted by Sellers with regard to any Assumed Contract (such contract, a “Disputed Contract”), Sellers, with the consent of Buyer, shall either (a) settle the objection of such party or
(b) shall litigate such objection under procedures as the Bankruptcy Court shall approve and proscribe; provided that from and after the date of entry of the Confirmation Order, Buyer shall be liable for and reimburse Seller for all amounts, costs, or expenses incurred as a result of, arising out of, or in connection with litigation initiated by Sellers pursuant to this clause (b). In no event

9



shall any Seller settle a Cure Costs objection with regard to any Assumed Contract without the express written consent of Buyer. In the event that a dispute regarding the Cure Costs with respect to an Assumed Contract has not been resolved as of the Closing Date, the Parties shall nonetheless remain obligated to consummate the Acquisition. Upon an Order determining any Cure Costs regarding any Disputed Contract after the Closing, to the maximum extent permissible under sections 365(d)(2) and 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, Buyer shall have the option to (x) pay the Cure Costs with respect to such Disputed Contract and assume the Disputed Contract as an “Assumed Contract” or (y) designate the Disputed Contract as an “Excluded Asset”, in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not assume the Disputed Contract and shall not be responsible for the associated Cure Cost; provided that Buyer shall be liable for and reimburse Seller for any administrative expense claims under sections 503, 507, and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code that (a) are incurred as a result of, arise out of, or in connection with designation of such Disputed Contract as an “Excluded Asset” and (b) solely arise out of or relate to the period (whether or not invoiced during such period) subsequent to the date of entry of the Sale Order to the date of rejection of such Disputed Contracts.

(e)Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Bankruptcy Court any evidence reasonably necessary to prove adequate assurance of future performance necessary to effect the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Contracts.

(f)Subject to Section 1.7, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law and the Bankruptcy Code, Sellers shall transfer and assign all Assumed Contracts to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume all Assumed Contracts from the Seller Parties, as of the Closing Date pursuant to the Sale Order and Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(g)At any time after the Closing, Sellers and Buyer may (but shall have no obligation to) mutually agree to seek authorization from the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, to assume and assign an Available Contract that was not identified as an Assumed Contract as of Closing; provided that Buyer will be solely responsible to pay the Cure Amount required to assume such Available Contract.

1.5.Non-Assignment of Assets. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement will not constitute an agreement to assign or Transfer and will not effect the assignment or Transfer of any Transferred Asset (including any Assumed Contract) if (i) (A) prohibited by applicable Law, (B) an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would be reasonably likely to subject Buyer, its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives to criminal Liability or (C) an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the approval, authorization, consent or waiver of, or granting or issuance of any license or permit by, any third party thereto (each such action, a “Necessary Consent”), would constitute a breach, default or violation thereof or of any Law or Order or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer thereunder or (ii) the Bankruptcy Court has not entered an Order approving such assignment or Transfer. In such event, or in the event that the assignment or Transfer of any Transferred Asset (including any Assumed Contract) is subject to a Necessary Consent being obtained, Sellers and Buyer will use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Necessary Consents with respect to any such Transferred Asset (including any Assumed Contract) or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment or transfer thereof to Buyer as Buyer may reasonably request; provided, however, that Sellers shall not be obligated for the payment of any consideration

10



therefor or required to initiate any litigation or legal proceedings to obtain any such approval, authorization, consent or waiver. If any Necessary Consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment or transfer would give rise to any of the circumstances described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 1.7, be ineffective or adversely affect the rights of Buyer to such Transferred Asset following the Closing, (x) Sellers and Buyer will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, (1) use commercially reasonable efforts (including cooperating with one another to obtain such Necessary Consents, to the extent feasible) as may be necessary so that Buyer would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, (2) complete any such assignments or Transfers as soon as reasonably practicable and
(3) upon receipt of any applicable Necessary Consents, Transfer or assign the applicable Transferred Asset to Buyer, and (y) Sellers will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with Buyer in good faith without further consideration in any arrangement reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Sellers intended to provide Buyer with the benefit of any such Transferred Assets at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in each case, for a period of 90 days following the Closing Date.

1.6.Wrong Pocket. Subject to Section 1.5 and Section 1.6, if at any time after the Closing (i) Buyer or its designee holds any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities or (ii) any Seller holds any Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities, Buyer or the applicable Seller, as applicable, will reasonably promptly Transfer (or cause to be Transferred) such assets or assume (or cause to be assumed) such Liabilities to or from (as the case may be) the other Party, without further consideration from the other Party. Prior to any such Transfer, the Party receiving or possessing any such asset will hold it in trust for such other Party.

1.7.Intracompany Arrangements.

(a)Each of Buyer and Sellers agrees that any Intracompany Payables between any Seller, on the one hand, and any other Seller or Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, shall be fully settled or otherwise deemed cancelled effective as of immediately prior to the Closing.

(b)Each of Buyer and Sellers agrees that, any contract, commitment or arrangement between any Seller, on the one hand, and any other Seller or Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect and all obligations thereunder shall be fully satisfied and extinguished, notwithstanding any terms thereof to the contrary, effective as of immediately prior to the Acquisition.

(c)No additional consideration shall be payable by, and no additional amounts shall be owed by, Buyer or any of its Affiliates to Sellers or any of their Affiliates in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 1.9.

1.8.Further Conveyances and Assurances. From time to time following the Closing, Sellers and Buyer will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, assignments, releases and other instruments, and will take such further actions, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure to Buyer and its successors or assigns, all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Buyer under this Agreement.

11

The closing of the purchase and sale of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely, via electronic exchange of documents, as soon as possible, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the date on which the last of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) has been satisfied or waived, or at such other date, time and place as the Parties may mutually agree. The actual date on which the Closing occurs, effective 10:00 a.m. prevailing Eastern time on such date, is called the “Closing Date.”

2.3.Deliveries by Buyer. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Sellers, the following:

2.4.Deliveries by Sellers. At the Closing, Sellers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer, the following:

(c)an IRS Form W-9 with respect to each Seller that is a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701 of the Code, duly completed and executed;

(d)the Books and Records; provided that the delivery obligations of Sellers hereunder shall be deemed satisfied if such Books and Records remain at the Transferred Owned Property or Transferred Leased Property;

(e)a copy of the Sale Order as entered by the Bankruptcy Court, vesting the Transferred Assets in Buyer free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances);

12



(f)an instrument of conveyance (including a quit claim deed, real property transfers or similar documents as customary in the applicable jurisdiction and as may be necessary in accordance with the requirements of applicable Law) conveying to Buyer fee simple title to the Transferred Owned Property, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, including any additional documents, forms, or affidavits needed to record such instrument in the real property records; and

(g)such other instruments of assumption and other instruments or documents, including bills of sale and/or assignment and assumption agreements, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, as may be necessary to effect Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and the assignment of any Transferred Assets to Buyer in accordance with the requirements of applicable Law and this Agreement, in each case duly executed by the applicable Seller.

2.5.Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct or withhold with respect to the making of such payment pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law, provided, however that Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Sellers with at least ten Business Days’ notice of the applicability of any such deduction or withholding prior to making such deduction or withholding, and shall afford Sellers a reasonable opportunity to provide any applicable certificates, forms or documentation that would reduce or eliminate the requirement to deduct or withhold Tax under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be timely paid by Buyer to the applicable Tax Governmental Entity and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Sellers. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to determine whether any such deduction or withholding applies to the payment, and, if so, shall further cooperate to minimize applicable withholding Taxes and to obtain any available refund or credit of withheld amounts.

If Sellers fail to deliver an Allocation Notice of Objection in accordance with this Section 5.4(c)(i), the Proposed Allocation Statement will be conclusive and binding on all Parties and will become the “Final Allocation Statement.” If Sellers submit an Allocation Notice of Objection, then for 20 Business Days after the date Buyer receives the Allocation Notice of Objection, Buyer and Sellers will use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree

25



on the allocations in good faith. Failing such agreement within 20 Business Days of such notice, the unresolved allocations will be submitted to an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreeable to Buyer and Sellers, which firm will be instructed to determine its best estimate of the allocation schedule based on its determination of the unresolved allocations and provide a written description of the basis for its determination within 45 Business Days after submission, such written determination to be final, binding and conclusive. The allocations determined by such accounting firm (or those on the Proposed Allocation Statement to the extent Sellers did not object) will be conclusive and binding on all Parties and will become the “Final Allocation Statement.” The fees and expenses of such accounting firm will be paid by and apportioned between Sellers and Buyer based on the aggregate dollar amount in dispute and the relative recovery as determined by the accounting firm or Sellers and Buyer, respectively (such that, by way of example, if the amount in dispute is $100 and it is resolved
$70 in favor of Buyer and $30 in favor of Sellers, then Sellers would bear 70% of the fees and expenses of such accounting firm and Buyer would bear 30% of the fees and expenses). For the avoidance of doubt, in administering any Action, the Bankruptcy Court shall not be required to apply the Final Allocation Statement in determining the manner in which the Purchase Price should be allocated as between Sellers and their respective estates.

(ii)Except to the extent otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or by applicable Law, or as agreed to between the Parties as a result of any proposed assessment or reassessment by a relevant Tax authority, Sellers and Buyer and their respective Affiliates will report, act and file Tax Returns (including, but not limited to IRS Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Final Allocation Statement and neither Sellers nor Buyer will take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Final Allocation Statement.

(d)Cooperation and Audits. Buyer and Sellers will cooperate fully with each other regarding Tax matters and will make available to the other as reasonably requested all information, records and documents relating to Taxes with regard to the Transferred Assets and Continuing Employees until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or extension thereof or the conclusion of all audits, appeals or litigation with respect to such Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4(d) to the contrary, Sellers, Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall not be required to provide to Sellers and their Affiliates or Buyer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, any records, Tax Returns or any other information, in each case, which includes any information not solely related to the Transferred Assets, or Continuing Employees.

5.5.Employment Matters.

(a)Schedule 5.5(a) sets forth the names of all individuals who are Seller Employees as of the date hereof and (x) whose job responsibilities relate primarily to the ownership, operation or use of the Transferred Assets or (y) whom Buyer and Sellers have otherwise designated as Scheduled Employees (the individuals set forth on Schedule 5.5(a), as such Schedule may be updated in accordance with this Section 5.5(a), the “Scheduled

26



Employees”). Schedule 5.5(a) also sets forth, for each Scheduled Employee as applicable, the Scheduled Employee’s job title, date of hire, annual base salary, and target bonus opportunity for 2023 (if applicable) (the “Scheduled Employees Schedule”). The Scheduled Employees Schedule shall be held in confidence and shall not be filed with the Bankruptcy Court (unless under seal). From time to time following the date hereof (and not later than 15 Business Days prior to the date of the Sale Hearing), to the extent necessary, Sellers shall update the Scheduled Employees Schedule to reflect any changes thereto permitted by this Agreement. Sellers shall provide Buyer with any such updated Scheduled Employees Schedule at least 12 Business Days prior to the date of the Sale Hearing.

(b)At least ten Business Days prior to the date of the Sale Hearing, Buyer shall provide Sellers with its list of Target Employees.

(c)At least ten Business Days prior to the date of the Sale Hearing, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers the form of written offer of employment that is to be provided to the Target Employees.

(d)No later than seven Business Days prior to the date of the Sale Hearing, Buyer shall, in its sole discretion, in consultation with Sellers, offer employment effective as of the Closing in writing to each of the Target Employees (who are not independent contractors, if any).

(e)No later than seven Business Days prior to the date of the Sale Hearing, Buyer shall, in its sole discretion, offer to retain the services of the Target Employees who are independent contractors on terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions of each such Target Employee’s contract with the applicable Seller.

(f)No later than two Business Days prior to the date of the Sale Hearing, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a list identifying: each Target Employee who has then accepted Buyer’s offer of employment or engagement (each Target Employee who accepts such offer on or prior to the Closing Date and commences employment or engagement with Buyer, a “Continuing Employee”), and a list identifying: each Target Employee who has then rejected Buyer’s offer of employment or engagement. In the event any, some or all of the Target Employees do not accept offers of employment or engagement with Buyer, no Material Adverse Effect shall have been deemed to occur solely due to such refusal.

(g)Nothing in this Agreement is intended to (i) prevent Buyer or any of its Affiliates from amending or terminating any compensation or benefit plan of Buyer or its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of such plan and applicable Law, or (iii) prevent Buyer or any of its Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee. No current or former employee of Sellers or any Seller Affiliate or any beneficiary or dependent thereof is entitled to any third party beneficiary or other rights under this Section 5.5 or under any other provisions of this Agreement with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any such employee or beneficiary or dependent by Sellers, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or under any benefit plan which Sellers, Buyer or any of its Affiliates may maintain, other than what is legally required in accordance with applicable Laws.

27



5.6.Confidentiality.

(a)Except as provided in this Section 5.6, no Party, nor its respective employees, agents, partners, affiliates, officers, directors and advisors, shall publish, disclose, or otherwise divulge Confidential Information of a Party to any Person at any time during or for two
(2) years after the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, without the applicable Party’s prior express written consent.

(b)A receiving Party may use and disclose Confidential Information where required to do so in litigation, administrative, regulatory or other legal proceedings or otherwise by Applicable Laws, but only, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, after notice to the providing Party and affording the providing Party an opportunity to seek a protective order or other relief to prevent or limit disclosure of the Confidential Information. In such event, the receiving Party shall reasonably cooperate, at the providing Party’s expense, in connection with the providing Party’s efforts to obtain such protective order or other relief. Further, subject to Section 5.2, each Party shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information in any litigation or administrative or regulatory proceeding or in any other instance where disclosure is required by Applicable Laws, and to the extent practicable and legally permissible, shall promptly notify the providing Party of any attempt by a third party to obtain the Confidential Information through legal process or otherwise.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party may provide any Confidential Information: (i) to any Governmental Authority or any other Person (including subcontractors, consultants, accountants, financial advisors, experts, legal counsel and other professional advisors to the Parties) as required to perform under or administer this Agreement; and (ii) to its Affiliates, and, in the case of Buyer, its limited partners, and its and their respective representatives and other advisors (including attorneys, accountants, consultants and rating agencies); provided such Persons agree to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or are otherwise required to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information (it being agreed that the receiving Party shall be responsible and liable for any failure of such Persons to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement). Each Party shall cause its personnel and all Persons to whom it discloses the Confidential Information to treat it confidentially consistent with the obligations of this Section 5.6. The obligation to provide confidential treatment to Confidential Information shall not be affected by the inadvertent disclosure of Confidential Information by either Party.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 5.6(d) shall limit the ability of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates to make any disclosure to their respective tax advisors or any taxing authority.

5.7.Personal Information. The collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information by Buyer before the Closing is restricted to those purposes that relate to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Buyer will protect that Personal Information by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. If, for any reason, the Closing does not occur, the Personal Information will be returned to Sellers or destroyed within a reasonable time. Following the Closing, Buyer will: (i) use and disclose the Personal Information transferred

28



to it under the terms of this Agreement solely for the purposes for which that Personal Information was collected or permitted to be used or disclosed before the transaction was completed, or otherwise as permitted by applicable Law including applicable privacy laws; (ii) protect that Personal Information by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information; (iii) notify the individuals who are the subject of the Personal Information, including the Continuing Employees, that the transaction has been completed that the their Personal Information has been disclosed to Buyer; and (iv) give effect to any withdrawal of consent made to the collection, use, and disclosure of the Personal Information in accordance with applicable Law including applicable privacy laws.

5.8.Publicity. Except as required by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Bankruptcy Case, any disclosure statement that the Debtors may file in connection with the Bankruptcy Case and any public disclosure issued by any Seller as required by Law, and subject to Section 5.2, prior to the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, neither Party will issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other Party, except that such consent shall not be required in connection with ordinary or required pleadings made by any Debtor in the Bankruptcy Court or if disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law, the rules and regulations of applicable national securities exchanges on which securities of AppHarvest are listed from time to time, or by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that the Parties, will use their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law, applicable national securities exchanges, or Bankruptcy Court requirement to consult with the other Party with respect to the text of any such required disclosure.

5.9.Insurance Matters.

(a)Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, assign, to the extent assignable, to Buyer any and all proceeds owing to Sellers under Sellers’ or any of their Affiliates’ third party insurance policies written prior to the Closing in connection with (i) the damage or destruction of any of the Transferred Assets from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing that is, or would have been but for such damage or destruction, included in the Transferred Assets or (ii) any Assumed Liability (other than, in the case of this clause (ii), where insurance proceeds are directly or indirectly funded by Sellers or any of their Affiliates through self-insurance or other similar arrangements); provided that, Sellers shall not be required to, or to cause their Affiliates to, assign to Buyer any Excluded Insurance Proceeds. If such proceeds are not assignable, Sellers agree to pay any such proceeds received by them or any of their Affiliates to Buyer promptly upon the receipt thereof.

(b)Except as set forth in Section 1.1(j), from and after the Closing, the Business, the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities shall cease to be insured by Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ insurance policies or by any of their self-insurance programs or other similar arrangements, and Buyer (i) agrees on or prior to Closing to arrange for its own insurance policies (including self-insurance or similar arrangements funded directly or indirectly by Buyer or any of its Affiliates) with respect to the Business, the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities covering all periods from and after the Closing and (ii) without prejudice to any right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, agrees not to seek,

29



through any means, to benefit from any of Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ insurance policies which may provide coverage for claims relating in any way to the Business.

5.10.Conduct of Sellers. Until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement under Section 7.1 or the Closing, except (a) (i) as required by applicable Law, (ii) as required by the DIP Financing, or (iii) as authorized by any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (b) as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement or another Transaction Document, (c) with the prior written consent of Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (d) as set forth on Schedule 5.10, or (e) to the extent related to any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities, Sellers will, or will cause the applicable Seller Affiliate to, consistent with the terms of the DIP Financing,
(x) operate the Transferred Assets only in the Ordinary Course consistent with past practice, (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact the Transferred Assets, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and as necessary to keep all of the Transferred Assets in substantially the same condition as at the date hereof, and (z) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (x) or (y), not:

(a)sell, assign, license, transfer, convey, or waive or release any right or claim relating to any of the Transferred Assets, lease, surrender, relinquish or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Transferred Assets;

(b)increase the total number of employees working as part of the Transferred
Assets;

(c)except as required by the terms of and in accordance with any key employee
retention program or key employee incentive program implemented by Sellers, or any other written employment or engagement agreement currently in effect between the applicable Seller and the employee, or applicable Laws, increase the compensation payable (whether through the payment of, or agreement to pay, bonus amounts or otherwise) to any employees;

(d)subject any portion of the Transferred Assets to any encumbrance, except for Permitted Encumbrances;

(e)incur any capital expenditures (other than for reasonably necessary repairs and Ordinary Course maintenance);

(f)amend or modify in any material respect, breach or terminate any Assumed
Contract;

(g)take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect;

(h)sell, lease, remove from the Transferred Owned Property, transfer, license or otherwise dispose of, abandon or permit to lapse, fail to take any material action necessary to maintain, enforce or protect, or permit or create any encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances) on any of the Transferred Assets; or

(i)agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

30



Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give Buyer or its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Business prior to the Closing.

5.11.Notification of Certain Matters.

(a)Sellers will promptly notify Buyer: (i) of any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) upon discovery thereof, any variances from, or the existence or occurrence of any event, fact or circumstance arising after the execution of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to cause, any of the representations and warranties contained in Article III to be untrue or inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) will not be able to be satisfied. If the subject matter of any such notification required by the previous sentence requires any change in the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer prior to the Closing a supplement to such Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Updated Schedules”) with such change; provided that in no event will any Updated Schedule serve to amend, supplement or modify the Schedules for purposes of Section 6.2(a) or limit the remedies available to Buyer under or with respect to this Agreement; provided, further that if the Closing occurs, the Updated Schedules will be considered and deemed to be part of the Seller Disclosure Schedule for all purposes under this Agreement, and each reference in this Agreement to a particular Seller Disclosure Schedule will mean such Seller Disclosure Schedule in, or as updated by, the Updated Schedules; and (iv) the occurrence of any fact or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)Buyer will promptly notify Sellers: (i) of any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) upon discovery thereof, any variances from, or the existence or occurrence of any event, fact or circumstance arising after the execution of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to cause, any of the representations and warranties contained in Article IV to be untrue or inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) will not be able to be satisfied; and
(iv) of any Actions relating to or involving or otherwise affecting Buyer or its Affiliates that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4 or that relate to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.12.Transfer of Permits.

(a)From and after the date hereof, Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall reasonably cooperate to transfer to Buyer as of the Closing Date all Permits included in the Transferred Assets.

(b)In addition, at any time prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may, at its sole discretion and at its sole expense, request for Sellers to maintain in effect any Permit for up to three months after the Closing for the purposes of passing through the benefits of such Permit to Buyer, and (i) provided Buyer timely pays any costs associated with such Permit, including any costs referred to in clause (iii) below and to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable

31



Law, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in effect such Permit, (ii) Sellers and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree in writing on arrangements for the purposes of passing through the benefits of such Permit to Buyer, and (iii) any such arrangements described in the foregoing shall be at the sole expense of Buyer.

(c)In the period between the execution of this Agreement and the hearing of the application for the Sale Order, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents or approvals required in respect of the Acquisition including any consents or approvals required of any Governmental Entity for the transfer or assignment of Permits to Buyer or the reissuance of Permits in favor of Buyer; provided that Sellers shall not be required to incur material expenses or to initiate any litigation or legal proceeding to obtain any such consent, approval, transfer, assignment, or re-issuance.

(d)If a non-Seller counterparty to an Assigned Contract is unwilling to consent to the assignment of an Assigned Contract or is unwilling to consent on terms acceptable to Buyer, acting reasonably, and such consent is required in order to assign such Assigned Contract, the application to the Bankruptcy Court for the Sale Order shall include a request that the Bankruptcy Court order that such Assigned Contract be assigned pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Bid and Contract Procedures Order.

5.15.Morehead Discharge Repairs. Sellers and Buyer agree that Sellers shall allocate
$500,000 consistent with the Approved Budget (as defined in the DIP Financing) to be used solely for the construction and satisfaction of a long-term disposal drain discharge at the Morehead Facility.

8.4.Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, including as set forth in Section 7.3, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will bear its own expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and all proceedings incident thereto.
