(d) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide timely and proper written notice of the Sale Hearing to all parties to any executory Contracts to which any Seller is a party that are (or may be) Designated Contracts and take all other actions reasonably necessary to cause such Designated Contracts to be assumed by Sellers and assigned to Buyer pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. At the Closing, Sellers shall assign to Buyer the Designated Contracts that may be assigned by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to Sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. ‎Section 2.6(a) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth Sellers’ good faith estimate (on a vendor by vendor basis) as of the date of this Agreement of the Cure Costs, if any, with respect to each counterparty to any of the Designated Contracts, as determined by Sellers based on Sellers’ books and records, review of formal or informal objections or responses to the Cure Costs by counterparties to the Designated Contracts, and good faith judgment.

(e) Sellers shall file a schedule listing the Cure Costs no later than the deadline established by the Bidding Procedures Order.

(f) Buyer shall take all actions reasonably required and requested by Sellers for Sellers to assume and assign the Designated Contracts to Buyer (including the payment of the Cure Costs), including taking all actions reasonably necessary to obtain an order of the Bankruptcy Court containing a finding that the proposed assumption and assignment of the Contracts to Buyers satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (including submitting evidence to the Bankruptcy Court to demonstrate adequate assurance of future performance under the Designated Contracts); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in the Sale Order, from and after the date hereof until two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, Buyer may (in its sole discretion) remove any Contract from ‎Section 2.6(b) of the Disclosure Schedule by providing prior written notice to Sellers that Buyer does not wish to assume such Contract, in which case, ‎Section 2.6(b) of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be amended to remove such Contract as a Designated Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, any Contracts not designated as a Designated Contract prior to the Closing shall be deemed to be Excluded Assets.

(g) Without limiting Buyer’s discretion pursuant to ‎Section 2.6(f) hereof to remove any Contracts from the Disclosure Schedule, in the event that an objection to the Cure Amount or other objection to Sellers’ assumption of a Contract or assignment of a Contract to Buyer remains unresolved as of the Closing Date and Buyer elects to complete the Closing notwithstanding the foregoing, then (in Buyer’s sole discretion) Buyer shall have until the end of the third (3rd) Business Day following the date that an Order finally adjudicating such Cure Amount or other dispute relating to such Contract to remove such Contract from the Disclosure Schedule and thereby eliminate such Contract as a Designated Contract.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer’s right to designate the contract identified as “EB – 105” on Section 2.6(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Reserved Agreement”) as a Designated Contract or an Excluded Asset will be reserved for a period of thirty (30) days following the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Designation Period”). During the Post-Closing Designation Period, Buyer may deliver a written notice to Sellers designating the Reserved Agreement as a Designated Contract or an Excluded Asset. If Buyer designates the Reserved Agreement as a Designated Contract within the Post-Closing Designation Period, (i) Sellers will promptly notify, within one (1) Business Day after receiving such designation from Buyer, in writing, the counterparty to such Reserved Agreement that the Reserved Agreement will be assumed and assigned by Sellers to Buyer, and the assumption and assignment of such Reserved Agreement shall become effective seven (7) calendar days following Sellers’ service of notice on such counterparty, (ii) the Reserved Agreement will automatically be deemed to be a Designated Contract for all purposes of this Agreement upon the assumption and assignment of the Reserved Agreement and (iii) Buyer shall pay the Cure Costs associated with the Reserved Agreement in accordance with Section 2.5(c). To the extent Buyer designates the Reserved Agreement as an Excluded Asset within the Post-Closing Designation Period, or fails to make any designation prior to the expiration of the Post-Closing Designation Period, the Reserved Agreement shall automatically be deemed an Excluded Asset for all purposes of this Agreement and Sellers shall be permitted to reject such Reserved Agreement in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code without Buyer’s consent.

Section 2.7 Allocation. No later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a schedule allocating the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities, and all other relevant items, in each case, properly treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes among the Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the IRC, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and any similar provision of applicable Law (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule shall be deemed final unless Sellers notify Buyer in writing that Sellers object to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Sellers. In the event of any such objection, Buyer and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute and, in the event such dispute is not resolved within fifteen (15) days, the Parties shall each be permitted to file their respective Tax Returns inconsistently with the Allocation Schedule.

If such dispute cannot be resolved within ten (10) Business Days after written notice from one party to the other, Sellers shall make a determination in their reasonable discretion as to the proper allocation of such asset, liability, or Contract, which determination shall be binding on Buyer and all Other Buyers, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval if sought by any party.

(e) If any Intellectual Property, customer data, or business records relate to both the Transferred Business and any Other Buyer Asset (or portion of the FAT Brands Business that does not constitute the Transferred Business), Sellers shall allocate such Intellectual Property, data, or records in accordance with the principles set forth in ‎Section 5.10, and Buyer and each Other Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to permit each other reasonable access to and use of shared materials pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement or a separate data sharing or license agreement as may be deemed necessary by Seller.

Section 2.9 Reserved.

(a) In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out a Party’s obligations under this Agreement, such Party will, at the requesting Party’s sole cost and expense, take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such other reasonable instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, assumption and confirmation, providing materials and information) as the other Party may reasonably request which actions shall be reasonably necessary to transfer, convey, or assign to the applicable Buyer all of the Acquired Assets to be acquired by Buyer in accordance with ‎Section 2.1 or to confirm Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities to be assumed by Buyer in accordance with ‎Section 2.2.

(b) With respect to any Acquired Asset (and any asset that is not an Acquired Asset solely as a result of a restriction on transfer or assignment) for which consent or approval is required for transfer or assignment but is not obtained prior to the Closing, Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer for up to thirty (30) days after the Closing in any reasonable arrangement that Buyer may request to provide Buyer with all of the benefits of, or under, the applicable Acquired Assets (or assets that are not Acquired Assets solely as a result of a restriction on transfer or assignment), including taking actions reasonably required to enforce, for the benefit of Buyer, any and all rights of Sellers against any party to the applicable Acquired Asset.

Section 6.2 Access; Enforcement; Record Retention. From and after the Closing, upon request by any Party (the “Requesting Party”), the other Parties will permit such Requesting Party and such Requesting Party’s Representatives to have reasonable access during normal business hours, at the sole expense of such Requesting Party and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the normal business operations of the other Party, to all premises, properties, personnel, books and records, and Contracts of such Party for the purposes of (a) preparing Tax Returns, (b) monitoring or enforcing rights or obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements, or (c) defending third-party lawsuits or complying with the requirements of any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that, for avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not require a Party to take any such action if (i) such action may result in a waiver or breach of any attorney-client privilege, (ii) such action could reasonably be expected to result in violation of applicable Law, or (iii) providing such access or information would be reasonably expected to be disruptive to a Party’s normal business operations. Buyer agrees to maintain the files or records that are contemplated by the first sentence of this ‎Section 6.2 in a manner consistent in all material respects with Buyer’s document retention and destruction policies, as in effect from time to time, for six (6) years following the Closing and to give Sellers or their successors access to such files and records for purposes of administration of Sellers’ respective Bankruptcy Cases, including the winddown of the estates, any confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan, and the claims reconciliation process.

Section 6.3 Tax Matters.

(a) Buyer shall bear and pay any stamp, documentary, filing, recording, registration, sales, use, transfer, added-value or other similar Tax, fee, or governmental charge (each a “Transfer Tax”) imposed under applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Party that is required by applicable Law to file any Tax Returns in connection with Transfer Taxes described in the immediately preceding sentence shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns. The Parties hereto shall cooperate to permit the filing Party to prepare and timely file any such Tax Returns.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, any Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) relating to a taxable period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date shall be allocated to the portion of such period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the portion beginning after the Closing Date as follows: (i) in the case of real property, personal property, and similar ad valorem Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, on a per diem basis, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, based on the “closing of the books” method.

(d) Reserved.

(e) Reserved.

(f) The Parties agree to treat any payment made from one Party to another pursuant to this Agreement that is not reflected as part of the Purchase Price under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all income Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 6.4 Press Releases and Public Announcements. No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the existence or subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of Buyer and Sellers, unless a press release or public announcement is required by applicable law, or any rule or order of the Bankruptcy Court. If any such announcement or other disclosure is required, the disclosing Party shall give the non-disclosing Parties reasonable prior written notice and an opportunity to review such disclosure and shall consider in good faith the comments of the other Party or Parties hereto as to the proposed disclosure. The Parties acknowledge that Sellers shall file this Agreement with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with obtaining the Sale Order.

Section 6.5 Confidentiality. Buyer and any Buyer designees acknowledge that the information provided to them in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is subject to the terms of the confidentiality agreement among FAT Brands, Twin Hospitality and Buyer dated as of April 6, 2026, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference; provided that Sellers may disclose such information as required by any Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise reasonably required in the Bankruptcy Cases, including enforcement or litigation of this Agreement.

Section 6.6 No Successor Liability. The Parties intend that upon the Closing, each Buyer and its Affiliates shall not and shall not be deemed to: (a) be a successor (or other such similarly situated party), or otherwise be deemed a successor, to Sellers, including a “successor employer” for the purposes of the IRC, ERISA, or other applicable Laws; (b) have any responsibility or liability for any obligations of Sellers, or any affiliate of Sellers, based on any theory of successor or similar theories of liability; (c) have, de facto or otherwise, merged with or into any of Sellers; (d) be an alter ego or a mere continuation or substantial continuation of any of Sellers (and there is no continuity of enterprise between Buyer and any Seller), including within the meaning of any foreign, federal, state, or local revenue, pension, ERISA, tax, labor, employment, environmental, or other law, rule or regulation (including filing requirements under any such Laws, rules, or regulations), or under any products liability law or doctrine with respect to Sellers’ liability under such law, rule or regulation or doctrine; or (e) be holding itself out to the public as a continuation of any of Sellers or Sellers’ respective estates.

Section 6.7 Acquired Avoidance Actions and Causes of Action. No Buyer shall at any time following the Closing pursue, prosecute, sell, or transfer any of the Acquired Avoidance Actions. For avoidance of doubt, following the Closing, Buyer may pursue rights and claims that constitute Acquired Assets and are not Acquired Avoidance Actions.

Section 6.8 Limited Tax Indemnification.

(a) Buyer agrees that from and after the Closing Buyer shall promptly indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any Kuwait Allowed Tax Claim Distribution Loss by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Seller Indemnified Party.

(b) In the event that any written claim or demand concerning any Kuwaiti Tax Liabilities for which Buyer may have liability to a Seller Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Seller Indemnified Party by the State of Kuwait or another entity purporting to act on behalf of the State of Kuwait, such Seller Indemnified Party shall promptly as practicable, but in no event more than fourteen (14) days following such Seller Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Kuwaiti Tax Liabilities related claim or demand (each such claim or demand, a “Kuwaiti Tax Claim”), notify Buyer in writing of such Kuwaiti Tax Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of liability asserted thereunder to the extent ascertainable, and any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto, and, to the extent practicable and readily available, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to timely deliver a Claim Notice or include any such information therein shall not affect the rights of a Seller Indemnified Party hereunder unless and solely to the extent that such failure has a material prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to Buyer with respect to such Kuwaiti Tax Claim. Upon receipt of a Claim Notice, Buyer shall assume the defense of any and all Kuwaiti Tax Claims thereof with their own counsel by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense, in each case, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense; provided, that Buyer (x) shall defend all Kuwaiti Tax Claims diligently and in good faith as if it were the party in interest and (y) shall not compromise or settle any such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the applicable Seller Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided further, that the applicable Seller Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have consented if such compromise or settlement (A) is for monetary payment only (the full amount of which shall be payable by Buyer) and does not involve any non-monetary relief against, or any finding or admission of any violation of Law or wrongdoing by, a Seller Indemnified Party, and (B) expressly and unconditionally releases the Seller Indemnified Parties from all liabilities and obligations in respect of such Kuwaiti Tax Claim. Buyer shall keep the Sellers reasonably informed regarding the progress and status of such Kuwaiti Tax Claims for which Buyer has assumed the defense. The applicable Seller Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing at its sole cost and expense.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent Buyer fails to assume the defense of any Kuwaiti Tax Claim (any such claim, an “Indemnified Claim”), the Seller Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to (A) assume its own defense with respect to any such Kuwaiti Tax Claim, provided, or (B) settle or compromise any such Kuwaiti Tax Claim in its sole discretion which such settlement or compromise shall, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Kuwait Allowed Tax Claim Distribution Loss for all purposes of this Agreement and Buyer shall have sole responsibility for payment thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no party shall be liable under this Section for any punitive damages, except to the extent awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a Kuwaiti Tax Claim. Further, Buyer’s liability in connection with any Kuwaiti Tax Claim shall in all events not exceed the aggregate amount of any Kuwait Allowed Tax Claim Distribution Losses incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party plus any costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the defense of any such claim or demand or otherwise subject to reimbursement by Buyer pursuant to Section 6.8(c)(A)(i).

Section 7.4 Third-Party Consents. Other than as expressly set forth in ‎Section 7.1 or ‎Section 7.2, receipt of any third party consent, approval, or waiver that is not expressly listed as a condition to Closing shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing (including Buyer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price in full) or comply with Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement or any Related Agreement, and the failure to receive any such third party consent, approval or waiver or any actions taken by Sellers in connection therewith shall not give Buyer the right to terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers shall not be required to compensate any applicable third party, commence or participate in any proceeding, or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise, including any accommodation or arrangement to indemnify, remain primarily, secondarily, or contingently liable for any Liability) to any applicable third party in connection with the satisfaction of any closing condition.

(ii) the Closing shall not have occurred prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Termination Date due to a material breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement by Buyer or Sellers, then the breaching Party may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ‎Section 8.1(b)(ii).

Section 9.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Related Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements, or representations (whether written or oral) by or among the Parties to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.

Section 9.4 Incorporation of Exhibits and Disclosure Schedule. The Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules to this Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

Section 9.5 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Buyer and each Seller. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be construed as an implied amendment or agreement to amend or modify any provision of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Seller may assign (in whole or in part) any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any plan administrator, liquidator, examiner, receiver, liquidation trustee, or similar party appointed for such Seller following the Closing, but no such assignment shall relieve any Seller of its continuing obligations under or in connection with this Agreement.

Any Party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Parties notice in the manner set forth in this ‎Section 9.7.

Section 9.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof), except to the extent that the Laws of such state are superseded by the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 9.9 Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in any Litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Related Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and agrees that all claims in respect of such Litigation may be heard and determined in any such court. Each Party also agrees not to (a) attempt to deny or defeat such exclusive jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from the Bankruptcy Court or (b) bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Related Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any other court. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue in, and any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any Litigation so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any Party may make service on any other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in ‎Section 9.7; provided, however, that nothing in this ‎Section 9.9 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or in equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Litigation so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by Litigation or in any other manner provided by law or in equity.

Section 9.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 9.11 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if any of the Parties fails to take any action required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that (a) Sellers and Buyer will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in ‎Section 9.9 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither Sellers nor Buyer would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that either Sellers or Buyer pursuing an injunction or injunctions or other Order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this ‎Section 9.11 will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order. The remedies available to Sellers pursuant to this ‎Section 9.11 will be in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance will not restrict, impair or otherwise limit Sellers from seeking to collect or collecting damages (it being agreed that Sellers will not be liable for any special, punitive, exemplary, direct, indirect, consequential, or other damages). If, prior to the Termination Date, either Buyer or any Seller brings any action, in each case, in accordance with this ‎Section 9.11, to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by the other party, the Termination Date will automatically be extended for the period during which such action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days or by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be. In no event will this ‎Section 9.11 be used, alone or together with any other provision of this Agreement, to require any Seller to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers herein.

Section 9.12 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by any Governmental Authority to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated only to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

Section 9.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Other than a Non-Recourse Party in respect of ‎Section 9.14, this Agreement (including any provision herein relating to Kuwaiti Tax Liabilities) shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than Buyers, each Seller, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 9.14 Non-Recourse.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Litigation based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the Persons that are expressly named as Parties to this Agreement.

(b) Except to the extent named as a party to this Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations of such party set forth in this Agreement, no past, present or future shareholder, member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, subsidiary, agent, Representative, or any financial advisor or lender to any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any Liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or Liabilities of any of the Parties or for any claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to this Agreement or the Related Agreements or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the Related Agreements or their negotiation, execution, performance or breach.

(c) Each Non-Recourse Party is and shall be an intended third-party beneficiary of this ‎Section 9.14 and shall have the right to enforce such provisions to the same extent as if it were a party hereto.

(d) This ‎Section 9.14 may not be terminated, modified, or amended in any manner that adversely affects any Non-Recourse Party, without the prior written consent of such affected Non-Recourse Party.

(e) Nothing in this ‎Section 9.14 shall limit or release any Party from any Liability expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 9.15 Mutual Drafting. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.16 Disclosure Schedule. All capitalized terms not defined in the Disclosure Schedule shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in this Agreement. The Disclosure Schedule has been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately numbered sections corresponding to the Sections of this Agreement, and it is expressly understood and agreed that (a) the disclosure of any fact or item in any section of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other Section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule to the extent the applicability of the disclosure to such other Section or subsection is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure without the need for a cross-reference, (b) the disclosure of any matter or item in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement that such matter or item is required to be disclosed therein, (c) the mere inclusion of an item in the Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception, any violation of Law or breach of Contract or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (d) the information and disclosures contained therein shall not be construed or otherwise deemed to constitute, any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of any Seller or any other Person except to the extent explicitly provided in this Agreement, and (e) the disclosures set forth in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to expand the scope of any, or create any new, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (or the Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto) or the Disclosure Schedule (or any exhibit, schedule or annex attached thereto) is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course of Business, and no Party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement (or the Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto) or the Disclosure Schedule (or any exhibit, schedule or annex attached thereto) in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not set forth or included in this Agreement (or the Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto) or the Disclosure Schedule (or any exhibit, schedule or annex attached thereto) is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course of Business. Any description of any agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement or other item set forth on the Disclosure Schedule is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of such agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement, or item. The information contained in this Agreement (or the Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto) and/or in the Disclosure Schedule (or any exhibit, schedule or annex attached thereto) is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement. Sellers may (but shall not be obligated to) supplement or amend those portions of the Disclosure Schedule to reflect (i) any fact, event or condition arising after the date hereof and prior to the Closing which, if existing or occurring as of the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be described in the Disclosure Schedule in order to avoid any Seller representation or warranty contained in this Agreement from being untrue or inaccurate and (ii) any fact, event or condition which first became known to a Knowledge party of any Seller listed in the definition of “Knowledge” after the date hereof which, if known to such person prior to the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be described in the Disclosure Schedule in order to avoid any Seller representation or warranty contained in this Agreement which is subject to the Knowledge of any Seller from being untrue or inaccurate; provided, however, that no amendment to the Disclosure Schedule shall have the effect of removing any Acquired Asset without Buyer’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 9.17 Headings; Table of Contents. The section headings and the table of contents contained in this Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.18 Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement or any counterpart may be executed and delivered by facsimile copies, delivered by electronic communications by portable document format (.pdf), or any other means of electronic execution, including by DocuSign, each of which shall be deemed an original.

Section 9.19 Privileged Communications.

(a) Sellers and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have access to (and each hereby waives any right of access it may otherwise have with respect to) any Privileged Communications (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall constitute Excluded Assets), whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees, upon and after the Closing: (i) neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be a holder of, or have any right, title or interest to the Privileged Communications, (ii) only Sellers shall hold property rights in the Privileged Communications and shall have the right to waive or modify such property rights and (iii) Sellers shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any Privileged Communications to Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

(b) To the extent that any Privileged Communications are disclosed or made available to Buyer, the Parties hereby agree (i) that the disclosure, receipt and/or review of such Privileged Communication is entirely inadvertent and shall not waive, modify, limit or impair in any form or fashion the protected nature of the Privileged Communications, (ii) it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, common interest privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege and (iii) Sellers shall have the right in their sole discretion and at any time to require the return and/or destruction of the Privileged Communications.
