Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given thereto in the Asset Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, the Intermediate Parent, the Parent, and Purchaser, dated as of March 12, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”).

1.1Transition Services. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Provider will provide all services (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Transition Service” and collectively as the “Transition Services”) such Provider provided to Company for the 12-month period preceding the Closing Date, including those set forth in Schedule A hereto (the “Schedule”, which may be amended or revised from time to time by the parties to include additional services or remove services no longer needed), to Purchaser (and such other services as mutually agreed upon in writing by a Provider and Purchaser) during the time period specified for each such Transition Service in such Schedule (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Time Periods” for all of the Transition Services and individually a “Time Period” for a Transition Service). Each Provider shall provide the Transition Services in a substantially similar manner as such Provider historically provided such services for the Company, and each Provider shall not be obligated to perform any services other than the Transition Services. Purchaser acknowledges that the Transition Services provided under this Agreement are being provided to Purchaser on a transitional basis for the purpose of facilitating the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, and that Providers are not professional service organizations and are not in the business of providing such services to unaffiliated third parties. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to ensure the Transition Services are rendered in a timely and efficient manner to transition the Purchased Assets and Business operations to Purchaser.

1.2Personnel. In providing the Transition Services, a Provider may, as it deems necessary or appropriate, (i) use the personnel of such Provider or its Affiliates, and (ii) employ the services of third parties to the extent that, and subject to the condition that, such third party services are routinely utilized to provide similar services to other businesses of such Provider or are, in the Provider’s sole discretion, reasonably necessary for the efficient performance of such Transition Services.

1.3Representatives. Providers and Purchaser shall each nominate a representative to act as its primary contact person to coordinate the provision of all of the Transition Services (collectively, the “Primary Coordinators”). Each Primary Coordinator may designate one or more service coordinators for each specific Transition Service (the “Service Coordinators”). Each party may treat an act of a Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator of another party as being authorized by such other party without inquiring behind such act or ascertaining whether such Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator had authority to so act, provided, however, that no such Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator has authority to amend this Agreement. Providers and Purchaser shall advise each other promptly (in any case no more than five (5) business days) in writing of any change in the Primary Coordinators and any Service Coordinator for a particular Transition Service, setting forth the name of the Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator to be replaced and the name of the replacement, and certifying that the replacement Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator is authorized to act for such party in all matters relating to this Agreement, in the case of a Primary Coordinator or, in the case of a Service Coordinator, with respect to the Transition Service for which such Service Coordinator has been designated. Providers and Purchaser each agree that all communications relating to the provision of the Transition Services shall be directed to the Service Coordinators for such Transition Service with copies to the Primary Coordinators. Providers’ initial Primary Coordinator shall be

(a)In all events, each Provider shall perform, and shall cause any affiliate of such Provider that performs Transition Services to perform, the Transition Services without discriminating in any material or intentional respect against Purchaser with respect to providing such Transition Services or taking such actions in favor of any other business of such Provider or any other Persons.

(c)In addition to being subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the provision of the Transition Services, each Provider and Purchaser agree that the Transition Services provided by third parties shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any agreements between the applicable Provider and such third parties, and no such agreements shall be binding

(a)Subject to Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, a Provider may make reasonable changes from time to time in its standards and procedures or third parties’ contracts for performing the Transition Services, provided that such changes do not (i) result in an adverse impact to the Company/Purchaser, (ii) result in degradation in the quality or timeliness of the services performed, or (iii) result in an increase in the consideration charged by such Provider to the Purchaser for the services performed.

(b)During the term of this Agreement, Purchaser shall, within five (5) days after such plans are available, provide each Provider with a plan identifying any changes in the Business that may affect the provision of the Transition Services by a Provider; provided, however, that the failure of Purchaser to provide such notice shall not alter or diminish a Provider’s obligations to provide the Transition Services as contemplated for the Business prior to any changes and on the terms set forth herein. Each Provider shall make commercially reasonable efforts to alter the method in which it provides the Transition Services based on Purchaser’s changes in the Business.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Provider shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in Purchaser’s efforts in undertaking to provide for itself any Transition Services, including without limitation giving Purchaser possession of the various documents, data and other records used or useful in the delivery of such Transition Services (to the extent that such provision would not violate the confidentiality terms of any proprietary documents) and taking such other steps as are reasonably necessary and without material cost to such Provider to assist Purchaser to provide for itself such Transition Services on a self-sufficient basis.

1.7Provider/Purchaser Access. To the extent reasonably required for personnel of a Provider to perform the Transition Services, Purchaser shall provide personnel of such Provider with reasonable access during normal business hours (to the extent practicable) to its equipment, office space, plants, telecommunications and computer equipment and systems, and any other areas and equipment. Purchaser will provide a Provider access, including remote access, to all IT systems/software used by the Company, including outside of normal business hours. To enable the Purchaser to establish its own IT systems/software, each Provider will provide access to (or the transfer of) the Company’s data.

1.8Purchaser Obligations. During the term of this Agreement, Purchaser shall (i) comply with any reasonable instructions provided by a Provider that are necessary for such Provider to adequately provide the Transition Services; (ii) comply with all applicable standards and procedures applicable to such Transition Service which are in the manner generally applied by a Provider in its business; and (iii) promptly report any operational or system problem affecting the provision of any Transition Services by a Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure by Purchaser to perform any of the foregoing shall not alter or diminish a Provider’s obligations to provide the Transition Services on the terms set forth herein so long as Provider can reasonably provide the Transition Services despite the failure by Purchaser.

1.9Obligations to Each Party. All employees and representatives of a Provider and its Affiliates shall be deemed to be employees or representatives of such Provider and its Affiliates, and not employees or representatives of Purchaser or any of its respective Affiliates. All employees and representatives of Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be deemed to be employees or representatives of Purchaser and its Affiliates, and not employees or representatives of a Provider or any of its Affiliates. Nothing in this Agreement shall make any party the partner, fiduciary, agent, employee or representative of any other party. Except as expressly contemplated herein, no party shall assume or create any obligations or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of any other party or bind any other party in any manner whatsoever.

2.1Consideration. As consideration for the Transition Services, Purchaser shall pay to the applicable Provider the amount specified for each such Transition Service in accordance with the provision as set forth in the first paragraph of Schedule A to this Agreement. In addition, if Provider incurs reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in providing any Transition Service, including, without limitation, fees for license or permits and payments to third-party service providers or subcontractors (“Out-of-Pocket Costs”), Purchaser shall reimburse Provider for all such Out-of-Pocket Costs in accordance with the invoicing and payment procedures set out in this Article II.

2.2Invoices. After the end of each month, each Provider, together with its Affiliates or subsidiaries providing Transition Services, will submit a single itemized invoice with appropriate documentation for amounts included to Purchaser for all Transition Services provided to Purchaser during such month. All invoices shall be sent to the attention of the Primary Coordinator at the address set forth in Section 7.1 hereof or to such other address as Purchaser shall have specified by notice in writing to a Provider.

(a)Payment of all invoices in respect of a Transition Service shall be made by check or electronic funds transmission in U.S. Dollars, without any offset or deduction of any nature whatsoever (except that offset or deduction may be made in regard to other invoiced amounts due under this Agreement or to the extent of a dispute in good faith concerning amounts due under this Agreement), within thirty (30) days of the invoice date unless otherwise specified in the Schedule relating to such Transition Service. All payments shall be made to the account designated by the applicable Provider to Purchaser.

(b)If any payment is not paid when due (except to the extent disputed in good faith), a Provider shall have the right to immediately terminate the Transition Service for which payment has not been paid. Notwithstanding the above, a Provider shall not cease providing any Transition Service or terminate this Agreement if such lack of payment is due to a good faith dispute, the details of which Purchaser has indicated to such Provider in writing, provided Purchaser is continuing to negotiate in good faith regarding such dispute.

2.4Each Provider shall keep correct and complete books of account regarding costs and expenses, financial records, Tax records and other relevant information associated with the provision of the Transition Services. Each Provider shall provide copies of all such information within ten (10) days of request from Purchaser, or such other mutually agreed to period of time.

To the extent not prohibited by Law, the disclosing party will provide a copy of any Confidential Information which is being disclosed pursuant to the provisions of this Article III to the other party prior to disclosing such Confidential Information to a third party.

3.4Upon the termination of this Agreement, at the request of either party, the other party shall, as soon as practicable, return, or, at its option, destroy, and cause to be returned or destroyed, all or any requested portion of the requesting party’s Confidential Information, including all copies, reproductions, summaries, analyses or extracts thereof, and will promptly certify (by an owner or officer of receiving party) any such destruction.

3.5Each of the parties shall promptly notify the other party, to the extent legally permissible and reasonably practicable, upon its discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. If a party breaches this Agreement, the other party may suffer an irreparable injury that no remedy at law would adequately compensate for such injury. Accordingly, the injured party will have the right to enforce this Agreement by injunction or seek other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that it may have for the other party’s breach of this Agreement.
