Equity Purchase Agreement

On April 27, 2022, DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (the “Company”), through the Company’s operating company, DigitalBridge Operating Company, LLC (“DBOC”), and DigitalBridge Investment Holdco, LLC (the “Buyer”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of DBOC, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AMP Group Holdings Limited and AMP Capital Investors International Holdings Limited (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Buyer has agreed to acquire certain interests comprising Seller’s global infrastructure equity investment management business (the “Transaction”), for a base purchase price of AUD 458,000,000, subject to certain customary adjustments, and potential earn-out consideration of up to AUD 180,000,000 based primarily on FEEUM (as defined in the Agreement) raised for the third and fourth flagship funds in the Global Infrastructure Fund series, as described in additional detail in the Agreement.

The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties which will survive, with certain exceptions, until the 18-month anniversary of the closing of the Transaction, and each party has agreed to indemnify the other with respect to these and certain other obligations under the Agreement. In addition, each party has agreed to customary covenants, including to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take all reasonable actions to consummate the Transaction.

The Company currently expects the Transaction to be completed in 2022; however, the Agreement contains customary closing conditions, including required regulatory approvals, and there is no assurance that the Transaction will close in the timeframe contemplated. The Agreement provides certain termination rights for each of the Buyer and the Seller, including in the event the Closing has not occurred by April 30, 2023.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This current report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies,anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, and may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, whether the Transaction will be completed within the time frame and on the terms anticipated or at all, whether the Company will realize any of the anticipated benefits from the Transaction, and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and its other reports filed from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance. The Company cautions investors not to unduly rely on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this current report. The Company is under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this current

report on Form 8-K, nor to conform prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and the Company does not intend to do so.

The Buyer agrees that any such investigation shall be conducted in such a manner not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of the Seller or the applicable Business Group Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer and its Representatives shall not be permitted to have access to (a) individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories, personally-identifiable information, or other information, in each case, in violation of applicable Legal Requirements, (b) information that is subject to attorney-client privilege, or (c) information that a Business Group Company is required to keep confidential pursuant to the terms of any Contract by which such Business Group Company is bound.

Such Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and shall apply to the Buyer as if it were a party thereto until the Closing, at which time it will terminate and be of no further force or effect solely insofar as it relates to the Target Entities or the Business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, nothing will prevent the Buyer from making any customary disclosure relating to the Transactions to (a) current or potential clients or investors in investment vehicles managed by the Buyer or its Affiliates, potential insurers, or current or potential financing sources to the Buyer or its Affiliates, subject in each case to a binding confidentiality obligation from such Person, (b) as may be required pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements (including as required or advisable by any securities exchange), or (c) rating agencies or Governmental Authorities.

Nothing in this Section 6.7 or in any other provision of this Agreement shall limit the ability of the Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to transactions involving the Seller Parent or any of its Affiliates (provided that such transaction does not delay or adversely affect the Seller’s ability to complete the Closing in any material respect).

6.8. Assignment Consents.

6.8.1. With respect to each Advisory Client listed on Exhibit A, the Seller shall, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and the applicable Existing Advisory Contracts and Fund Documents, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, prior to the Closing, the necessary Assignment Consents to the Assignment of each Existing Advisory Contract listed on Exhibit C, Controlling Interest and each side letter listed on Exhibit A included in the Fund Documents, in each case, that is required to be obtained under this Agreement as a condition precedent to the Closing. In no event shall the Seller, any Target Entity, or any of their respective Affiliates be required to pay, or agree to pay, any fee, penalty, or other consideration to any Person for any such Assignment Consents or consents to effect the amended Fund Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that a person requests payment of a fee, penalty, or other consideration for any such Assignment Consents or consents to effect the amended Fund Documents, the terms of the Consent Side Letter shall control. In connection with requesting or obtaining such Assignment Consents and other consents, in no event shall any Target Entity reduce (or agree to reduce) any fee payable by an Advisory Client pursuant to an Existing Advisory Contract or Fund Document or agree to any other modification of an Existing Advisory Contract or Fund Document or other inducement that would, in any case, adversely affect the economic value of such Advisory Client relationship or modify any other term, except as consented to or directed by the Buyer in writing.

The Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with the Seller in seeking the Consents described in this Section 6.8.3. In connection with obtaining such Consents, the Seller shall provide to the Buyer for review and approval in advance of distribution (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditions or delayed) the proposed forms of amendment, waiver or consent.

Without the consent of the Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Buyer (i) shall not file any amended Tax Return for the Target Entities (or any other Target Group Members with respect to which any Target Entity or the Buyer has control) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than for any Straddle Period), (ii) shall not make any Tax election with respect to such Target Group Members with retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than for any Straddle Period), except that the Buyer, may make or cause to be made an election pursuant to Section 338(g) of the Code (or pursuant to any comparable provisions of U.S. state or local Law) with respect to the purchase of Transferred Interests in the non-U.S. Target Entities if in the reasonable determination of Seller such election would not result in material additional Tax to Seller, and (iii) shall not voluntarily approach any Governmental Authority regarding any Tax matters relating to such Target Group Members with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than for any Straddle Period), solely in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the extent it could reasonably be expected to adversely affect a material Tax liability of the Seller or result in an indemnification obligation of the Seller under this Agreement. The Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of all Taxes, including GST and VAT, and the preparation of all Tax Returns of the Target Entities (or any other Target Group Members with respect to which any Target Entity or the Buyer has control) for any taxable period beginning on or after the Closing Date.

6.10.2. Tax Contests. After the Closing Date, the Buyer and the Seller, respectively, shall (and the Buyer shall cause the Target Entities to) inform the other Parties in writing of the commencement of any Action, claim, audit, investigation, examination, or other proceeding or self-assessment with respect to a Tax Return of any Target Entity (or any other Target Group Member with respect to which any Target Entity or the Buyer has control) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Tax Contest”). The Seller shall represent the interests of the Target Group Members in, and control, any and all Tax Contests for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any Straddle Period); provided, that, (i) the Buyer shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest and to employ counsel at its own expense and choice, (ii) the Seller shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed of any such Tax Contest, (iii) the Seller shall consult with the Buyer regarding the conduct of, and any material positions taken in, any such Tax Contest, and (iv) the Seller shall not agree or consent to compromise or settle any such Tax Contest without the Buyer’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Buyer shall represent the rights of the Target Group Members in, and control, any other Tax Contest; provided that for any portion of Tax Contests relating to a Straddle Period with respect to which the Seller may be required to make indemnification payments to the Buyer pursuant to Section 10.5, (i) the Seller shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest and to employ counsel at its own expense and choice, (ii) the Buyer shall keep the Seller reasonably informed of any such Tax Contest, (iii) the Buyer shall consult with the Seller regarding the conduct of, and any material positions taken in, any such Tax Contest, and (iv) the Buyer shall not agree or consent to compromise or settle any such Tax Contest without the Seller’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In any Tax Contest in which either Party has the right to participate (but not control) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10.2, the other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such non-controlling Party the opportunity to participate in any material meetings or hearings with Tax Authorities. To the extent the Partnership Tax Audit Rules apply to any of the Target Entities (or any other Target Group Members with respect to which any Target Entity or the Buyer has control), Buyer shall control the appointment and identity (including any changes) of the “partnership representative” (and of any “designated individual”) of the applicable entity

for purposes of the Partnership Tax Audit Rules, and each Party shall reasonably cooperate (and cause their direct and indirect owners to cooperate) with the other Party in connection with the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any Tax Contest involving any of the Target Entities (or any other Target Group Members with respect to which any Target Entity or the Buyer has control) with respect to which the Partnership Tax Audit Rules apply, the Party that serves as (and only to the extent it is permitted under applicable Legal Requirements and Organizational Documents to so serve) the “partnership representative” of the applicable entity under applicable Tax Law and Organizational Documents, shall cause such applicable entity to make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code, unless such Party has obtained the prior written consent of the other Party not to make such an election.

6.10.3. Cooperation. After the Closing, upon reasonable prior notice and to the extent commercially practicable, the Parties shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (to the extent within the control of such Party) relating to the Target Group Members (including access to books and records, in any form or medium) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority and the prosecution or defense of any Tax Contest or any other claim, audit, litigation, investigation, examination or other proceeding, with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of or with respect to any of the Target Group Members for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, all in a manner consistent with this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.10.3 or any other provision of this Agreement shall require any party to (a) waive any common law or statutory privilege or (b) to provide any information other than information relating exclusively to the Target Group Members. The Seller shall retain all documents that would reasonably be expected to relate to any Tax matter until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, taking into account any extensions thereof. From the date hereof until the Closing, the Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, and direct its Representatives to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, in good faith with the Buyer and its Representatives in evaluating (including as part of the Buyer’s diligence) and implementing a tax-efficient acquisition and holding structure with respect to the Transferred Interests; provided that any such implementation is not reasonably expected to result in material Tax consequences to the Seller, any of its Affiliates, or any owners of the Target Group Members.

6.10.4. U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment with respect to the Transferred Interests. The Parties agree that, for U.S. federal (and, if applicable, state, local and non-U.S.) income tax purposes the Transactions shall be treated as a purchase of the Transferred Interests (or, where applicable, the underlying assets of the relevant Target Group Members) and any Existing Advisory Contracts. The Parties agree that, to the extent applicable and permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of any Target Group Member in each case that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date will be allocated for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes using the “closing of the books” method as described in Section 706(d)(1) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1(c) (and corresponding provisions of state or local Income Tax Legal Requirement where applicable) as of the end of day on the Closing Date.

6.10.5. Purchase Price Allocation. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Closing Consideration (as increased by any amounts treated as assumed liabilities for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and any other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) shall be allocated among the Transferred Interests (or, where applicable, the underlying assets of the relevant Target Group Members) and any Existing Advisory Contracts in accordance with their respective fair market values pursuant to an allocation schedule to be prepared in accordance with Sections 1060, 755 and 751 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations adopted thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) (it being understood that the Purchase Price Allocation will also set forth the Transferred Interests (or, where applicable, the underlying assets of the relevant Target Group Members) to which the First Earn Out Payment, the Second Earn Out Payment and the Catch-Up Payment (if any such payment is made) will be allocated). No later than 120 days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver a copy of their initial determination of the Purchase Price Allocation to the Seller, and the Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer in such preparation. If the Seller has any objection to the Purchase Price Allocation, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a statement setting forth its objections and suggested adjustments within 30 days from the delivery of the Purchase Price Allocation (an “Allocation Objections Statement”), and if the Seller does not so notify Buyer within such 30 days the initial Purchase Price Allocation shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Buyer agrees to consider any objection set forth in the Allocation Objections Statement(s) in good faith. In the case the Buyer does not accept any of the objections of the Seller set forth on the Allocation Objections Statement, the Seller and the Buyer agree to attempt to resolve the dispute within 20 days after the Seller provides its objections. If any matter of such dispute is not resolved in this timeframe, the Seller and the Buyer shall submit such matter for resolution to the Arbiter. The Arbiter’s determination shall be final and binding on the parties. The costs of the Arbiter shall be borne equally (50/50) by the Buyer and the Seller. The Purchase Price Allocation shall be adjusted from time to time to reflect any adjustments to the Closing Consideration, as determined for Tax purposes in a manner consistent with this Section 6.10.5. Each Party shall file all U.S. federal (and applicable U.S. state and local) income Tax Returns consistently with the Purchase Price Allocation as finalized pursuant to this Agreement and shall not take any position that is inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation, unless required by applicable Legal Requirements. The parties shall not treat the Seller as having made any payment to the Buyer for applicable Tax purposes in exchange for the Buyer assuming any liabilities under this Agreement (including in respect of deferred revenue or prepaid amounts) under the principles of James M. Pierce Corp. v. Commissioner, 326 F.2d 67 (8th Cir. 1964), and the Purchase Price Allocation determined hereunder shall be prepared in a manner consistent with such treatment. The Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to execute, or cause to be executed, such documents that are reasonably necessary to ensure that for U.S. federal income Tax purposes the consideration for each Transferred Interest will be treated as paid to the applicable Seller Group Member holding such Transferred Interest by the applicable Buyer Group Member purchasing such interest (for example, if all of the Closing Consideration is being paid to the Seller by the Buyer, but another Seller Group Member holds a Transferred Interest

and/or another Buyer Group Member is intended to purchase such Transferred Interest, by causing such entities to enter into a letter of direction directing the Buyer to pay the applicable portion of the Closing Consideration (in order for such portion to be consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation as finally determined under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10.5) on behalf of such Buyer Group Member and the Seller to receive such portion of the Closing Consideration on behalf of such Seller Group Member).

6.10.6. Allocation of Taxes for Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any taxable period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of Taxes of the Target Group Members or any of their respective Affiliates that is attributable to the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Period for Taxes that are property, ad valorem or similar Taxes assessed on a periodic basis will be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. The amount of any other Taxes of the Target Group Members and Advisory Clients or any of their respective Affiliates that relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period portion of a Straddle Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the applicable entity holds an interest will be deemed to terminate at such time); provided, that any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (such as deductions for depreciation or real estate Taxes) shall be apportioned on a daily basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall exclude any Taxes resulting from actions taken outside the ordinary course of business after the Closing on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts with respect to property placed in service after the Closing Date shall not be treated as giving rise to any deductions, credits, exemptions or allowances with respect to any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

6.10.7. Transfer Taxes. All documentary, sales, use, real property transfer, real property gains, registration, value-added, transfer, stamp, recording, and other similar Taxes, fees, and costs, together with all interest thereon, penalties, fines, costs, additions to Tax and other additional amounts with respect thereto (“Transfer Taxes”), which may be imposed in connection with the Transactions other than the Reorganization, shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Buyer. The Parties will reasonably cooperate with each other to timely prepare, execute and file any Tax Returns for Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes, and expenses associated with such preparation and filing shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Buyer.

6.11. Contributions to Campaigns or Political Action Committees. During the Interim Period, the Seller will not permit the Target Entities to (or any other Business Group Company on behalf of the Target Entities to), and will use commercially reasonable efforts to require their respective “covered associates” to not, make any contributions to campaigns or political action committees without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

6.12. Notice of Developments.

6.12.1. During the Interim Period, the Seller shall, to the extent it obtains Knowledge of any of the following, give reasonably prompt written notice to the Buyer of (a) the resignation or termination of any officers of any Target Entity, (b) any notice from any Person alleging that the Consent of such Person is required in connection with the Transactions, (c) any material notice delivered to any Seller Group Member by any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions, (d) any Action commenced or threatened against any Seller Group Member or Advisory Client that would have been required to be disclosed in Section 4.6 or Section 4.13 if such Action had been commenced or been threatened prior to the Signing Date, (e) any Business Group Company or any of its directors, officers, parties, or members becoming (i) disqualified pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act from making an offering of securities in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or (ii) subject to any “bad actor” event specified in Rule 506(d)(1) or (f) the occurrence of any other Effect that has resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, any of the Buyer’s conditions to Closing becoming incapable of being satisfied or a material delay in the satisfaction of any such conditions.

6.12.2. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations to make any notification as set forth in this Section 6.12 shall not affect the representations or warranties of any Party or the conditions to Closing of any Party.

6.13. Financing Cooperation.

6.13.1. During the Interim Period, the Seller shall cause the Target Entities and each of their respective Representatives to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in connection with the arrangement of the Financing as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer. Such cooperation shall include using commercially reasonable efforts to take the following actions: (a) furnishing the Buyer and its Financing Sources with such financial and other reasonably pertinent information regarding the Target Entities as is reasonably requested by the Buyer or the Financing Sources, (b) making appropriate officers and executive employees reasonably available to participate in meetings, conference calls, presentations, due diligence sessions, road shows and drafting sessions, and to reasonably assist in the preparation of offering memoranda, private placement memoranda, prospectuses, rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda, “public” and “private” marketing materials and similar documents; (c) providing the Buyer at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date with customary requested documentation and other customary requested information with respect to the Target Entities as is reasonably requested in writing by the Buyer in connection with the Financing and required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and Money Laundering Laws; (d) assisting in the preparation of, and executing and delivering, customary definitive financing documentation (including disclosure schedules), guarantees and grants or pledges of collateral; (e) obtaining assistance (including consenting to the use of their audit reports in materials relating to the Financing and issuing “comfort letters”, in each case, on customary terms) from the Company’s independent accountants with respect to financial information customarily derived from the financial statements of the Seller and other financial information customarily included in an offering document; (f) causing the chief financial officer or other authorized officer with similar responsibilities of the Seller (who is or will be such officer immediately after effect to the

Closing) to deliver a customary certificate with respect to financial information customarily contained in an offering document that is not covered by a “comfort” letter; (g) cooperating in the replacement or backstop of any applicable outstanding letters of credit issued; and (h) taking reasonable corporate or organizational actions reasonably necessary to permit the consummation of the Financing.

6.13.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.13.1, none of the Target Entities nor any of their respective Representatives, shall be required to take any of the following actions pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the Financing: (a) any action, effort or undertaking that unreasonably interferes with the ongoing normal business operations of the Target Entities; (b) the passing of resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Financing or any agreement in connection therewith, in each case that are not contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing; (c) the execution or delivery of any certificate, document, instrument or agreement, in each case that is not contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing; (d) any action, effort or undertaking that would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in any representation or warranty of the Seller or the Seller Parent in this Agreement being breached (unless waived in writing by the Buyer); (e) the payment of any commitment or other similar fee or the incurrence of any other expense, liability or obligation, in each case other than those solely payable following the Closing or that are or will be reimbursed by the Buyer; (f) any action, effort or undertaking that would, or would reasonably be expected to result in, any Representative of any the Target Entities incurring any personal liability; (g) any action, effort or undertaking that would, or would reasonably be expected to result in any, breach of the Organizational Documents of any of the Target Entities, any applicable Legal Requirements, or any Contract (including this Agreement); or (h) the preparation of any financial statements or other information that are not available to the Target Entities and prepared in the ordinary course of their financial reporting practices.

6.13.3. The Buyer confirms and acknowledges that in no event shall the receipt or availability of (a) any funds or financing (including the Financing) by or to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or (b) any other financing transaction be a condition to any of the Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement.

6.14. Non-Compete; Non-Solicit.

6.14.1. The Parties acknowledge that following the Closing the Seller will continue to operate the Seller’s Retained Core Infrastructure Business which may, from time to time, be an owner or investor in various assets or funds owned and operated by the Buyer, and that the Buyer may, from time to time, be an owner or investor in various assets or funds owned and operated by the Seller. In addition, the Parties acknowledge that following the Closing, the Seller’s Retained Core Infrastructure Business and the Business acquired by the Buyer may, from time to time, jointly bid on core infrastructure investments or potentially competitively bid on various core infrastructure investments either directly for, or on behalf of, funds or separately managed accounts managed separately by either the Buyer’s or Seller’s businesses. During the three year period following the Closing (the “Restricted Period”), (i) the Seller, solely with respect to the Seller’s Retained Core Infrastructure Business, will not launch any new business directly or indirectly through any Controlled Affiliate, other than engaging in business activities and investments anywhere in the world similar in type to those existing in the Seller’s Retained Core Infrastructure Business as of the Closing Date; (ii) the Seller and the Seller Parent will not engage in, or assist others in, any business competitive with the Business as conducted by any Business Group Company (a “Competing Business”); or (iii) the Seller and the Seller Parent will not have an interest in any Person (other than the Seller, the Seller Parent, or the Buyer) that engages directly or indirectly in, or assist others in, a Competing Business in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, manager, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant. The foregoing will not prohibit (a) the Seller and Seller Parent (or any of their Affiliates) from owning, directly or indirectly, up to 5% of any class of equity securities on a securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system so long as none of the Seller, the Seller Parent or any of their Controlled Affiliates directly or indirectly participates in the management or control of the issuer of such securities or such issuer’s Affiliates; or (b) the acquisition following the Closing Date (whether pursuant to one transaction or pursuant to a series of related transactions) by the Seller, the Seller Parent or any of their respective Controlled Affiliates and thereafter the ownership and operation of a diversified business having, at the time of such acquisition, not more than 10% of its annual revenue (based on its latest annual financial statements) attributable to any activities comprising a Competing Business (provided that such Competing Business is fully divested within 12 months of completing any such acquisition and that the Seller, the Seller Parent and its Affiliates cease to engage in any Competing Business following such divestiture); or (c) except as provided in Section 6.14.1(i) above, the ownership or operation of the Non-Restricted Business. This restriction covers the world. Should the Seller separately divest all, or a majority of the Seller’s Retained Core Infrastructure Business on or following the Closing Date, this paragraph 6.14.1 (Non-Compete) would no longer apply to any third-party or third-parties acquiring the Seller’s Retained Core Infrastructure Business.

6.14.2. During the Restricted Period, the Seller and the Seller Parent will not directly or indirectly (including through any Controlled Affiliate) whether for its own account or for the account of any other Person solicit, hire or engage in any capacity, encourage to terminate the employment or engagement of, endeavor to entice away from the Buyer, any member of the Target Group or any of their Affiliates, any employee who is, or was within the then most recent six-month period, employed by, or otherwise providing consulting or other similar services to, the Buyer, any member of the Target Group or any of the Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.14.2 does not prohibit the Seller or the Seller Parent (or their Affiliates) from employing, hiring or engaging any such employee where such employee approaches the Seller or the Seller Parent: (a) who has not been an employee of the Buyer, any member of the Target Group or any of their Affiliates for at least six months and whom none of Seller, Seller Parent or any of their Affiliates or Representatives, directly or indirectly, solicited following the date hereof; (b) as a result of general advertising, online advertising and social media not directed specifically at any such employee; (c) as a result of referrals from search firms, employment agencies, or other similar Persons, provided that such Persons have not been specifically instructed by the Seller, the Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates to

solicit any such employee; or (d) as a result of the solicitation of any individual who was terminated by the Buyer or any of its Controlled Affiliates prior to such solicitation.

6.14.3. During the Restricted Period, the Buyer and the Buyer Parent will not directly or indirectly (including through any Controlled Affiliate) whether for its own account or for the account of any other Person solicit, hire or engage in any capacity, encourage to terminate, endeavor to entice away from the Seller or any of its Affiliates, any Partner, Director or other investment professional who is, or was within the then most recent three-month period, employed by, or otherwise providing consulting or other similar services to, the real estate, infrastructure equity or advisory or arranging businesses of the Seller or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.14.3 does not prohibit the Buyer or the Buyer Parent (or their Affiliates) from employing, hiring, or engaging any such Partner, Director or other investment professional where any such Partner, Director or other investment professional approaches the Buyer or the Buyer Parent: (a) who has not been an employee of the Seller, any Seller Group Member or any of their Affiliates for at least six months and whom none of the Buyer, the Buyer Parent or any of their Affiliates or Representatives, directly or indirectly, solicited following the date hereof; (b) as a result of general advertising, online advertising and social media not directed specifically at any such Partner, Director or other investment professional; (c) as a result of referrals from search firms, employment agencies, or other similar Persons, provided that such Persons have not been specifically instructed by the Buyer, the Buyer Parent or any of their respective controlled Affiliates to solicit any such employees; and (d) the solicitation of any individual who was terminated by the Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to such solicitation.

6.14.4. The Parties acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.14 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Parties and constitute a material inducement to the Parties to enter into this Agreement. If any covenant contained in this Section 6.14 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, or other limitations permitted by applicable Legal Requirements in any jurisdiction, then any arbitrator or court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, or other limitations permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. The covenants contained in this Section 6.14 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

6.14.5. The Seller and the Seller Parent acknowledge that a breach of this Section 6.14 would give rise to irreparable harm to the Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and agree that in the event of a breach of any such obligations, the Buyer shall be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond) in accordance with Section 12.11, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach.

6.15. Change of Name.

6.15.1. Within 120 days after the Closing, the Buyer will cause each of the Target Entities whose name contains the word “AMP” to change its name to another name that does not use the word “AMP.”

6.15.2. The Buyer, for itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Target Entities), acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in this Section 6.15, from and after the Closing: (a) neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any right, title or interest in and to the name “AMP,” any goodwill in the name “AMP” or any Trademark incorporating the name “AMP” (including all registrations and applications relating thereto) (collectively and with the goodwill associated therewith, the “Retained Names and Marks”) and (b) neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Target Entities) will have any rights in or to the Retained Names and Marks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Closing, the Seller, on behalf of itself and the other Seller Group Members, hereby grants to the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Target Group) a limited, non-transferable, sublicensable, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive license to continue using and displaying (A) the Retained Names and Marks and (B) other Trademarks owned by the Seller Group that were used or displayed in connection with the Business or the operation of the Target Group in the 12-month period prior to the Closing ((A) and (B) collectively, the “Seller Marks”), in each case, for a period of 120 days beginning on the Closing Date (the “Transition Period”), in each case, in substantially the same manner as used in the Business prior to the Closing and subject to the brand guidelines generally-applicable to the Seller Group that are provided to the Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, nothing herein shall prevent, restrict or otherwise limit the Buyer or its Affiliates from (x) describing the historical relationship between the business of the Target Group and the Seller Group in a factually accurate manner, (y) making any use of Trademarks owned by the Seller Group after the Closing in a manner that would constitute “fair use” or that would otherwise not be prohibited under applicable Legal Requirements if such use were made by a third party, or (z) is required under applicable Legal Requirements.

6.15.3. In the event that the Buyer and its Affiliates have used commercially reasonable efforts to cease use of the Seller Marks within the Transition Period, but are nonetheless unable to cease such use (e.g., because they have been unable to obtain any approval required by applicable Legal Requirements), the Buyer shall request in writing from the Seller an extension of the applicable Transition Period at least 10 days before the expiration of the applicable Transition Period, and the Seller shall consider such request reasonably and in good faith, and shall respond to the Buyer within such 10-day period regarding such request; provided that the Seller shall agree to grant at least one 60 day extension except to the extent prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements or if any such extension would raise material commercial risks for the Seller or its Affiliates.

6.16. Preservation of Rights. The Buyer agrees that all rights to exculpation, indemnification, contribution and advancement of expenses existing as of the Signing Date in favor of each current and former director, partner, manager, officer or employee of the Target Entities and each person who served as a director, partner, manager, officer, trustee or other fiduciary of a pension or other employee benefit plan or another enterprise or other Person at the request or for the benefit of a Target Entity (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, a “D&O Indemnified Party”), as provided in any Target Entity’s Organizational Documents as in effect as of the Signing Date or in any agreement with a Target Entity as in effect as of the Signing Date Disclosed in the Data Room shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. The Buyer shall cause each Target Entity to maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification, contribution and advancement of expenses provisions of each Target Entity’s Organizational Documents as in

effect on the Signing Date for a period of six years from the Closing Date, and the Buyer shall not, and shall cause each Target Entity not to, amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Party. All rights to indemnification, contribution or advancement of expenses in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any Claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such Claim. From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall cause each Target Entity to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.16. The rights of each D&O Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such person may have under the Organizational Documents of any Target Entity, any other indemnification arrangement, any Legal Requirement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 6.16 shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.16. If the Buyer, any Target Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (a) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity in such consolidation or merger or (b) transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Buyer or such Target Entity, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.16 if not otherwise assumed by operation of law.

6.17. Intercompany Agreements. Prior to the Closing, (except as set forth in Section 6.17 of the Disclosure Letter, specifically required by the terms of this Agreement or as otherwise mutually directed in writing by the Seller and the Buyer), the Seller shall cause the Target Entities to take all actions necessary to cause (a) all intercompany accounts to be paid in full or otherwise settled without further liability or obligation (contingent or otherwise) of any party thereto, (b) all participations in any cash pooling arrangement of the Target Entities to be terminated without any further force and effect, and (c) all other Contracts between any Target Group Member and any Seller Group Member (except for the Ancillary Agreements) to be terminated without any further force and effect. All liabilities under any such intercompany account or agreement that have not been fully repaid or discharged at or prior to the Closing shall terminate and be extinguished as of the completion of the Closing without the payment of any consideration or other action by any of the Parties or any other Person, and the Parties shall, and, after the Closing, the Buyer shall cause the Target Entities and the current and future Affiliates, equity holders, officers and controlling Persons of the Target Entities to, take all actions necessary or desirable to evidence such termination and extinguishment. If following the Closing, the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, or the Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, should receive any amounts that properly belong to the other party in accordance with the intentions of the Transactions, then such receiving Party will, and will cause its Affiliates to, promptly remit such amount to the Party entitled thereto.

6.18. R&W Policy. The Buyer or the Seller may seek to obtain and bind the Insurance Policy prior to, at or following the Closing. The Parties will and will cause their Affiliates to reasonably cooperate and assist in good faith as may be requested by the Buyer or the Seller in the event the Buyer or the Seller chooses to seek to obtain the Insurance Policy and to have such Insurance Policy issued and in full force and effect in connection with the Transactions. Such efforts include providing the underwriter customary and reasonable access to information reasonably requested and necessary to complete the underwriter’s due diligence process with respect to the Insurance Policy.

6.19. Use of Track Record.

From and after the Closing, none of the Seller or its Affiliates may use, reference, or otherwise in any way present (directly or indirectly) the Track Record in such Person’s marketing materials or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Buyer. The Seller will convey the ownership of the Track Record to the Buyer at the Closing. At the Closing and from time to time thereafter, upon the Buyer’s written request, the Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances and other instruments and documents, and do and take all such further actions, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to make effective such conveyance.

The Buyer shall act reasonably and in good faith to consider such changes to the terms of the Reorganization as may be proposed in writing by the Seller and not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition their consent to or approval thereof provided that any consent or approval given by the Buyer to any such proposed to the Reorganization shall not prejudice any rights on indemnification of the Buyer hereunder (including any rights of indemnification of the Buyer arising pursuant to Section 10.1(e).

6.22. Carried Interest Payment.

6.22.1. From time to time from and after the Closing, if there is any payment or distribution of Carried Interest or monies in respect thereof made by the SITE Funds or the Irish Infrastructure Funds to any Buyer Group Member on any date (each such date, a “Carry Payment Date”), then the Buyer shall pay, or cause a Buyer Group Member to pay, to Seller or a Seller Group Member designated by Seller in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the following: (i) the amount of Carried Interest or monies received in respect thereof by such Buyer Group Member on such Carry Payment Date, minus (ii) the amount of payments in respect of the Carried Interest which Buyer or a Buyer Group Member is required to pay to any Employee pursuant to a SITE Bonus Plan Assignment or an Award Agreement Assignment in respect of the receipt of such Carried Interest from the SITE Funds or the Irish Infrastructure Funds on such Carry Payment Date, minus (iii) any Taxes incurred by Buyer (or the applicable Buyer Group Member), net of any tax relief obtained by the Buyer (or the applicable Buyer Group Member) in respect of such Taxes, attributable to such Carried Interest or monies and distribution or payment thereof (each such payment to Seller or its designee on a Carry Payment Date, an “Carried Interest Payment”). Buyer shall be required to pay each Carried Interest Payment within five Business Days of its receipt of the underlying Carried Interest.

6.22.2. Until the Buyer shall have presented to the Seller, upon liquidation of each of the SITE Funds and the Irish Infrastructure Funds, copies of the final audit conducted for the SITE Funds or the Irish Infrastructure Funds, as applicable, the Buyer shall: (a) deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller (i) within 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter, an unaudited balance sheet, statement of operations, cash flows and changes in partners’ equity of the SITE Funds and the Irish Infrastructure Funds as of and for the period ending as of the end of such calendar quarter and (ii) within 90 days (or such longer period as may be provided in the Fund Documents) after the end of each year, an audited balance sheet, statement of operations, cash flows and changes in partners’ equity of the SITE Funds and the Irish Infrastructure Funds as of and for the period ending as of the end of such year; (b) not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the SITE Funds or the Irish Infrastructure Funds to not, without the prior written consent of the Seller, amend any of their respective Organizational Documents or Advisory Contracts in respect of the SITE Funds or the Irish Infrastructure Funds listed on Exhibit C, in each case, in such a way that would adversely affect the Seller’s interest in the Carried Interest (pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), the making of the payments otherwise owed hereunder by the Buyer or the payments required by the SITE Funds or the Irish Infrastructure Funds pursuant to the terms of the Organizational Documents and Advisory Contracts in existence as of the Signing Date; (c) provide and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the SITE Funds and the Irish Infrastructure Funds to provide such information, documents, certificates and records as the Seller may reasonably request to monitor compliance by the Buyer or any such Person with this Section 6.22; and (d) permit and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the SITE Funds and the Irish Infrastructure Funds to permit the Seller or any of its Representatives to review and examine the books and records of the SITE Funds and the Irish Infrastructure Funds during ordinary business hours and without undue delay or disruption in order to monitor compliance by the Buyer with this Section 6.22. The foregoing provisions hereof shall be subject to the confidentiality requirements contained in this Agreement and in the relevant Fund Documents. If there is any dispute or controversy as to compliance by the Buyer with this Section 6.22, the Buyer and the Seller shall attempt first to resolve such dispute or controversy within 15 days by means of discussions between such Parties with their respective legal counsel and, if any matter of such dispute or controversy is not resolved in this timeframe, the Seller and the Buyer shall submit such matter for resolution to the Arbiters. The Arbiters’ determination shall be final and binding on the parties. The costs of the Arbiters shall be borne equally (50/50) by the Buyer and the Seller.

6.22.3. The Parties acknowledge that the intent and purpose of this Section 6.22 is to provide a fair and equitable framework for the payment of the Closing Consideration and to ensure that the Seller Group Members receive the same amounts of and maintain the same rights with respect to (including as to the timing of receipt of), the Carried Interest Payments that the Seller Group Members would be entitled to receive if the Seller Group Members continued to provide services pursuant to the underlying Advisory Contracts. At the request of either Party, the Parties agree to reasonably cooperate as is reasonably necessary or desirable to achieve the foregoing purposes in a tax efficient manner.

If the Buyer fails to deliver a Notice of Objection within the Valuation Review Period, the Latest Valuation shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Buyer and shall be deemed final and binding upon all of the Parties.

6.23.2. Selection of the Third Party Valuation Firm.

The Seller and the Buyer shall execute any agreement reasonably required by the Third Party Valuation Firm for its engagement hereunder.

6.23.3. Submission of Disputed Items. The Seller shall, promptly (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the formal engagement of the Third Party Valuation Firm, provide the Third Party Valuation Firm (copying the other upon submission) access to all materials necessary or helpful to arrive at a fair net asset value of the Sponsor Capital as of the Latest Valuation.

7.4. Frustration of Closing Conditions. A Party may not rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, as the case may be, to be satisfied if such failure was due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

8. EMPLOYEES.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount to be paid by either Party for Claims for Damages made under this Agreement (including Section 10.1 and Section 10.5) shall not exceed the sum of (i) the Closing Consideration, as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.4, plus, solely in the case of Claims based on Actual Fraud, (ii) any amount paid pursuant to Section 2.5, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of investigation and reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Seller in defense of any Claim.

10.1.7. No Double Dip. Where one and the same Damage has been caused by more than one breach of this Agreement or by a breach of more than one provision of this Agreement, the Claimant incurring or suffering such Damage shall be entitled to receive monetary damages in the amount of such Damage only once.

10.2. Third-Party Claims. If any Action, suit, Claim or other legal proceeding (other than a Tax Contest) (a “Third Party Claim”) is made, brought or threatened by any Person who is not a Party that the Buyer or the Seller (each, a “Claimant”) believes may result in a right of such Party to make any Claim for indemnification against the Seller or the Buyer, as applicable (each in such role as recipient of a Claim, the “Indemnifying Party”), under this Agreement then the Claimant shall:

10.2.1. Within 30 days after becoming aware of such Claim, give notice to the Indemnifying Party setting out the material information relating to such Third Party Claim to the extent known to the Claimant, including the identity of the third party and the nature and claimed amount of the Third Party Claim (provided that the failure to timely give any such notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to provide indemnification hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such delay); and

10.2.2. The Indemnifying Party shall have the sole and absolute right after the receipt of a Third Party Claim notice, at its option and at its own expense, to be represented by counsel reasonably acceptable to the Claimant and to control, defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any proceeding, Claim, or demand which relates to any loss, liability or damage indemnified against hereunder; provided that the Claimant may participate in any such proceeding with counsel of its choice. Such participation shall be at its expense unless the Claimant believes (a) upon the advice of counsel that a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party or the Claimant may exist or that certain defenses or counter-claims are available to the Claimant, but not to the Indemnifying Party, or (b) that the actual Damages that the Claimant and the Buyer Indemnified Persons or Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable, may exceed the amount that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Claimant and such other Persons for, in which case the Indemnifying Party will pay the expenses of such counsel for the Claimant. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such proceeding, Claim or demand. Prior to the time the Claimant is notified by the Indemnifying Party as to whether the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense of such proceeding, claim or demand, the Claimant may take any actions it deems reasonably necessary or advisable to timely preserve the collective rights of the Parties with respect to such proceeding, Claim or demand, including responding timely to legal process and the Indemnifying Party will promptly reimburse the Claimant for any

reasonable expenses it incurs in connection therewith. To the extent the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such proceeding, Claim or demand, or if the Indemnifying fails to confirm its election within 30 days after the giving by the Claimant to the Indemnifying Party of a Third Party Claim notice, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably elected not to assume such defense. In such case, the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Claimant (and the other Buyer Indemnified Persons, or the Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable) for reasonable expenses of legal counsel and other costs of suit, and the Claimant will exclusively control the defense and settlement of, or otherwise deal with, such proceeding, Claim or demand. Regardless of which Party assumes the defense of such proceeding, Claim or demand, the Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with one another in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include providing records and information that are relevant to such proceeding, Claim or demand, and making each Parties’ employees and officers reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and to act as a witnesses or respond to legal process. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such proceeding, Claim or demand, the Claimant shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such proceeding, claim or demand without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such proceeding, Claim or demand without the Claimant’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement or judgment (a) relates solely to monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be solely responsible, (b) does not involve the admission of any fault by the Claimant or the other Buyer Indemnified Persons or Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable, and (c) includes as an unconditional term thereof the release of the Claimant from all liability with respect to such proceeding, Claim or demand, in which event no such consent shall be required. From time to time, including after any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter alleged to be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party hereunder, the Claimant may forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by it with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party shall pay all of the sums so owing to the Claimant by wire transfer, certified or bank cashier’s check within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice.

10.2.3. Notwithstanding the other provisions of Section 10.2, Tax Contests shall be exclusively governed by the provisions of Section 6.10.2.

10.3. Direct Claims. Any Claim by a Buyer Indemnified Person or a Seller Indemnified Person (the “Indemnified Party”) on account of Damages that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the applicable Party giving the Indemnifying Party written notice of such Direct Claim within 30 days after becoming aware of such claim (provided that the failure to timely give any such notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to provide indemnification hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such delay). Such notice will set out the material information relating to such Third Party Claim to the extent known to the Party seeking indemnification, including the nature and claimed amount of such Direct Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim (the “Response Period”). If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within the Response Period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such Claim.

10.4. Tax Effect of Indemnification Payments. All amounts received by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Closing Consideration.

10.5. Tax Indemnification. In addition to, but only to the extent not duplicative of Damages actually recovered pursuant to, the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10.1 above, until the end of each applicable statute of limitations period following the Closing Date, the Seller shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons and hold them harmless from and against any Damages resulting from or arising out of (a) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of, or imposed on or assessed against any of the Target Entities, to the extent attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; (b) all Taxes of, or imposed on or assessed against, any of the Target Entities (whether arising before or after the Closing Date) to the extent attributable to an event, transaction, act or omission occurring before the Closing Date; (c) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which any of the Target Entities (or any predecessor of such Target Entity) is or was a member prior to the Closing Date; (d) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on any of the Target Entities, as a transferee or successor, by Contract (other than any Contract entered into in the ordinary course of business, the principal purpose of which is unrelated to Taxes) or pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement, which Taxes relate to an event, transaction, act or omission occurring before the Closing Date; (e) all Taxes (including Transfer Taxes) imposed on the Target Group Members to the extent resulting from the Reorganization, and (f) all Taxes with respect to the ownership and disposition of the Transferred Interests prior to the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) any Taxes assessed against any of the Target Group Members (including as a result of any audit adjustment pursuant to the Partnership Tax Audit Rules with respect to any partnership-related item attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, using a “closing of the books method” as described in Section 6.10.4) that is allocable to the Transferred Interests, provided that, if applicable, in the event of any such adjustment, Buyer shall cause the relevant Target Group Member to make an election pursuant to Code Section 6226 to have any such adjustment passed through to such entity’s members and former members for the year to which such adjustment relates, and (ii) withholding Taxes with respect to any distributions or allocations to the Seller (or the Seller’s predecessors, if any)). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller as the Indemnifying Party under this Section 10.5 shall have the sole right, at its option and at its own expense, to control the defense of any Claim or demand arising in relation to any liability indemnified against under this Section 10.5, including to choose any counsel or representative hired to defend against such Claim or demand and matters related thereto. The Buyer shall have the right to participate in any such Claim or demand and to employ counsel at its own expense and choice for purposes of such participation. The Seller shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed of any such Claim or demand, shall consult with the Buyer regarding the conduct of, and any material positions taken in, any such Claim or demand, and shall not agree or consent to compromise or settle any such Claim or demand without the Buyer’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Seller shall reimburse or pay the Buyer Indemnified Persons for any Taxes that are the responsibility of the Seller under this Agreement within fifteen (15) Business Days after payment of such Taxes by a Buyer Indemnified Person, Target Entity or any of their respective Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, any Tax indemnification payable by the Seller as a result of this Section 10.5 shall be limited solely to Taxes payable by a Target Group Member or Taxes attributable to the ownership and disposition of Sponsor Capital during the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

10.6. Certain Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

10.6.1. Damages shall be determined net of any insurance, indemnification or other recoveries actually received by an Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to a right of indemnification under this Article 10 after deducting all costs and expenses (including Taxes and any retroactive or prospective increases to insurance premiums) incurred by the Indemnified Party in collecting such insurance or other recoveries or otherwise arising out of such insurance claim; and

10.6.2. Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve any Party or its Affiliates from any obligation they may have under Legal Requirements to mitigate any Damages that would otherwise form the basis of a Claim for indemnification under this Agreement.

10.6.3. If Buyer Indemnified Person or an Affiliate thereof derives a Tax benefit (whether by refund, credit or offset against Taxes currently due and payable) from any Damage within the two Tax years following the year in which the indemnification payment was made, then the Indemnified Party receiving such indemnification payment will promptly pay such Tax benefit to the Indemnifying Party that made such indemnification payments. For purposes of this Section 10.6.3, a Tax benefit is realized when and to the extent (a) the hypothetical Tax liability of the Indemnified Parties and their Affiliates in a Tax year calculated by excluding the relevant Tax deductions attributable to the Damages exceeds (b) the actual Tax liability of the Buyer Indemnified Person and their Affiliates for such Tax year calculated by taking into account the relevant Tax deductions attributable to the Damages (and treating such deductions as the last items in such calculation). The Buyer will remit to the Seller the amount of the realized Tax benefit within ten (10) Business Days after the date of realization. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer will have no obligation to remit to the Seller any amount pursuant to this Section 10.6.3 with respect to Tax benefits relating to U.S. income Taxes.

10.7. Exclusive Remedy. Except for Claims based on Actual Fraud and except for specific performance, from and after the Closing, the provisions of this Article 10 are exclusive with respect to the matters covered by this Article 10, and will preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against the Indemnifying Party with respect to such matters.

100

10.8. No Special Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the Parties shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement (including this Article 10) for: (i) any punitive or exemplary damages, except to the extent such damages are actually awarded to a third Person; and (ii) any multiple, special or indirect damages, including loss of future profits, revenue or income or loss of business reputation or opportunity, except to the extent such damages were reasonably foreseeable or to the extent such damages are actually awarded to a third Person.

11. GOODS AND SERVICES TAX

11.1. Interpretation. For the purposes of this Article 11, a word or expression defined in the GST Act which is not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning given to it in the GST Act.

11.2. GST Gross Up.

11.2.1. All amounts payable or consideration provided under or in connection with this Agreement is exclusive of GST unless it is specifically expressed to be GST inclusive.

11.2.2. If a Party (the “Supplier”) makes a taxable supply to another Party (the “Recipient”) under or in connection with this Agreement, the Recipient must pay the Supplier an additional amount (the “GST Amount”) equal to the GST payable on the supply (unless the consideration for the taxable supply was specified to include GST). This clause does not apply to the extent that the GST on the supply is subject to a reverse-charge.

11.2.3. The GST Amount must be paid by the Recipient at the same time as any consideration for the taxable supply is first paid or provided or later on demand if not paid at that time.

11.2.4. Notwithstanding Section 11.2.3, the GST Amount need not be paid until the Supplier issues a tax invoice to the Recipient.

11.3. Adjustment Events. If an adjustment event varies the amount of GST payable in respect of a supply by the Supplier under or in connection with this Agreement, the Supplier must adjust the amount payable by the Recipient to take account of the adjustment event. Any payment under this Article 11 is to be treated as an increase or decrease of the GST Amount. The Supplier must promptly issue an adjustment note to the Recipient.

11.4. Reimbursements. Subject to an express provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment, reimbursement or indemnity required to be made to a Party (the “Payee”) under this Agreement which is calculated by reference to an amount paid or payable by the Payee to a third party (the “Outgoing”) will be calculated by reference to that Outgoing inclusive of GST, less the amount of any input tax credit which the Payee (or the representative member of a GST group of which the Payee is a member) is entitled to claim on that Outgoing.

11.5. Separate Supply and Attribution. If part of a supply is a separate supply under GST law (including for GST attribution purposes), that part is a separate supply for the purpose of this Article 11.

101

11.6. Calculation of Payment. If an amount payable under this Agreement is to be calculated by reference to:

11.6.1. The price to be received for a taxable supply then, for the purposes of that calculation, the price is reduced to the extent that it includes any amount on account of GST.

11.7. VAT.

11.7.1. All amounts expressed to be payable under this Agreement which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to Section 11.7.2 below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by a Party (the “Supplier”) to another Party (the “Recipient”) or in connection with this Agreement and the Supplier is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Recipient must pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as any consideration for the taxable supply is first paid or provided or later on demand if not paid at that time) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (the “VAT Amount”) (and the Supplier must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to the Recipient) or where applicable, directly account for such VAT at the appropriate rate under the reverse charge procedure provided for by the Council Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax, as amended, or any relevant VAT provision of the jurisdiction in which the Recipient receives such supply.

11.7.2. If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Party (the “Recipient”) under this Agreement, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of this Agreement to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(a) where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this Section 11.7.2(a) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(b) where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

11.7.3. If an adjustment event varies the amount of VAT payable in respect of a supply by the Supplier under this Agreement, the Supplier must adjust the amount payable by the Recipient to take account of the adjustment event. Any payment under this Section 11.7 is to be treated as an increase or decrease of the VAT Amount. The Supplier must promptly issue an adjustment note to the Recipient.

102

11.7.4. Where any Party is required under this Agreement to reimburse or indemnify another Party (the “Payee”) for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Payee for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that the Payee reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

11.7.5. Any reference in this Section 11.7 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules as provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC or any similar VAT provision in the relevant jurisdiction.

11.7.6. In relation to any supply made by a Party (the “Supplier”) to any Party (the “Recipient”) under this Agreement, if reasonably requested by the Supplier, the Recipient must promptly provide the Supplier with details of the Recipient’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Supplier’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

11.7.7. Where a Party has an option available to it under applicable VAT law whether or not to subject a supply or service to VAT it shall not subject such supply or service to VAT without the prior consent of the recipient of such supply or service.

11.7.8. If part of a supply is a separate supply under VAT law (including for VAT attribution purposes), that part is a separate supply for the purpose of this Section 11.7.

11.7.9. This Section 11.7 will survive the termination of this Agreement by any Party.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1. Release.

12.1.1. Effective as of the consummation of the Closing, each of the Seller and the Seller Parent, on behalf of itself, its respective current and former Affiliates, and its respective direct and indirect directors, officers, members, managers, partners (in each case other than any Target Entity Released Party), equityholders, investors, principals, employees, advisors, agents, servants, representatives, successors and assigns (in their capacities as such, the “Seller Releasing Parties”) irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases, remises, and forever discharges each Target Entity, its Affiliates (including the Buyer) and each of their respective direct and indirect directors, officers, members, managers, partners, equityholders, investors, principals, employees, advisors, agents, servants, representatives, successors and assigns (in their capacities as such, the “Target Entity Released Parties”) from any and all Actions, Claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, costs, expenses, losses, judgments, fines, debts, or other demands of any kind whatsoever which any Seller Releasing Party has had, currently has, or may in the future have against any of the Target Entity Released Parties, in each case, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, matured or unmatured, accrued or unaccrued, asserted or unasserted, determined or conditional, express or implied, fixed or variable, absolute or contingent, or direct or indirect and whether vicarious, derivative, joint, several or secondary and arising out of, in connection with, or relating to the Target Entities at any time prior to the Closing, including with respect to (a) the operation of the business of the Target Entities at any time prior to the Closing, or (b) any agreement, arrangement, Contract or transaction entered into by any of the Target Entities at any time prior to the Closing, or arising out of or in connection with (i) any Seller Releasing Parties’ right to or interest in any assets or

103

properties of any Target Entity or (ii) any Capital Stock or other ownership interests any Seller Releasing Party may have in any Target Entity. The foregoing releases shall not apply to any claim against a Target Entity Released Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or pursuant to any of the Transactions or the transactions contemplated by the Ancillary Agreements (and whether for breach of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise).

12.1.2. Effective as of the consummation of the Closing, each of the Buyer and the Buyer Parent, on behalf of itself, its respective current and former Affiliates, and its respective direct and indirect directors, officers, members, managers, partners (including with respect to any time after the Closing any Target Entity Released Party), equityholders, investors, principals, employees, advisors, agents, servants, representatives, successors and assigns (in their capacities as such, the “Buyer Releasing Parties”) irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases, remises, and forever discharges each the Seller, the Seller Parent, their respective Affiliates and each of their respective direct and indirect equityholders, investors, successors and assigns (in their capacities as such, the “Seller Released Parties”) from any and all Actions, Claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, costs, expenses, losses, judgments, fines, debts, or other demands of any kind whatsoever which any Buyer Releasing Party has had, currently has, or may in the future have against any of the Seller Released Parties, in each case, to the extent related to such Seller Released Party’s status as an equityholder of a Target Entity. Such release includes claims, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, matured or unmatured, accrued or unaccrued, asserted or unasserted, determined or conditional, express or implied, fixed or variable, absolute or contingent, or direct or indirect and whether vicarious, derivative, joint, several or secondary. The foregoing releases shall not apply to any claim against a Seller Released Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or pursuant to any of the Transactions or the transactions contemplated by the Ancillary Agreements (and whether for breach of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise).

12.1.3. Each of the Parties is aware that it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the releases provided for in this Section 12.1. However, it is the intention of each of the Parties that such releases shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfactory release of each and every matter specifically or generally referred to in this Section 12.1 on behalf of themselves and each other Buyer Releasing Party and Seller Releasing Party that do now exist, may exist or heretofore have existed with respect to the subject matter of the release. In furtherance of this intention, the releases contained herein shall be and remain in effect and as full and complete releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts. In furtherance of this intention, each of the Parties expressly waives and relinquishes any and all claims, rights or benefits that it may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”), and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction. Section 1542 provides as follows:

104

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

12.1.4. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Section 1542, and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction, if they exist, are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, each Party agrees that the waiver of Section 1542 and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction is a material portion of the releases intended by this Section 12.1.3, and it therefore intends to waive all protection provided by Section 1542 and any other similar provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including this Section 12.1.4), nothing in this Agreement will, or will be construed to, prevent a claim for Actual Fraud.

12.1.5. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 12.1 to the contrary, in no event shall this Section 12.1 release any Person from any liability or obligation under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

12.2. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications required or permitted to be delivered, given, or otherwise provided under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered, given, or otherwise provided: (a) by hand (in which case, it shall be effective upon delivery); (b) by email (in which case, it shall be effective upon transmission, provided that (i) receipt is confirmed or (ii) the computer record indicates no failure message is generated); or (c) by delivery by a nationally recognized courier service (in which case, it shall be effective six Business Days after posting, or 10 Business Days after posting if sent from one country to another), in each case, to the address listed below:

No delay or omission on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof.

106

12.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Disclosure Letter, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and any other schedules or certificates delivered in connection with this Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings, and agreements (including any draft agreements) with respect thereto, whether written or oral, none of which shall be used as evidence of the Parties’ intent.

12.6. Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile, .pdf signature or DocuSign by any Party, and such signature shall be deemed binding for all purposes hereof without delivery of an original signature being thereafter required.

12.7. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If any provision hereof would, under applicable Legal Requirements, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, each Party intends that such provision shall be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable Legal Requirements and to otherwise give effect to the intent of the Parties.

12.8. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation hereof.

12.9. Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between the Buyer, the Buyer Parent, or any of the Target Entities or their Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Seller or the Seller Parent or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, the Target Entities, the Seller, the Seller Parent, the Buyer, the Buyer Parent, or their respective Affiliates may assert the attorney-client privilege with respect to Confidential Communications to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party.

6 IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation includes certain “non-GAAP” supplemental measures that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, including the financial metrics defined below, of which the calculations may differ from methodologies utilized by other companies for similar performance measurements, and accordingly, may not be comparable to those of other companies. Digital Investment Management Fee Related Earnings (FRE): The Company calculates FRE for its investment management business within the digital segment as base management fees, other service fee income, and other income inclusive of cost reimbursements, less compensation expense excluding equity-based compensation, carried interest and incentive compensation, administrative expenses (excluding fund raising placement agent fee expenses), and other operating expenses related to the investment management business. The Company uses FRE as a supplemental performance measure as it may provide additional insight into the profitability of the overall digital investment management business. This presentation includes forward-looking guidance for certain non-GAAP financial measures, including FRE. These measures will differ from net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, in ways similar to those described in reconciliations of historical FRE to net income previously reported by the Company. We do not provide guidance for net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, or a reconciliation of guidance for FRE to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in net income.
