AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties and conditions set forth below, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Buyer and the Seller, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

The Daily VWAP will be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours.

“Five-Day VWAP” means, for any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the sum of the Daily VWAP for each Trading Day in the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding such date of determination, divided by (b) five.

“HLLY” means Holley Inc.

“Material Adverse Effect” means any change, event, or occurrence, that, individually or when aggregated with other changes, events, or occurrences, has had a materially adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or results of operations of HLLY and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that no change, event, occurrence or effect arising out of or related to any of the following, alone or in combination, shall be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred: (i) acts of war (whether or not declared), sabotage, military or para-military actions or terrorism, or any escalation or worsening of any such acts, or changes in global, national or regional political or social conditions; (ii) earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, epidemics and pandemics declared by the World Health Organization or any other reputable third party organization (including the COVID-19 virus) or other natural or man-made disasters; (iii) changes attributable to the public announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated herein (including the impact thereof on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees or governmental authorities); (iv) changes or proposed changes in law, regulations or interpretations thereof or decisions by courts or any governmental authority first announced after the date

of this Agreement; (v) changes or proposed changes in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States as in effect from time to time (or any interpretation thereof) first announced after the date of this Agreement; (vi) any downturn in general economic conditions, including changes in the credit, debt, securities, financial, capital or reinsurance markets (including changes in interest or exchange rates or the price of any security, market index or commodity), in each case, in the United States or anywhere else in the world; (vii) events or conditions generally affecting the industries and markets in which HLLY operates; (viii) any failure to meet any projections, forecasts, estimates, budgets or financial or operating predictions of revenue, earnings, cash flow or cash position, provided that this clause (viii) shall not prevent a determination that any change, event, or occurrence underlying such failure (unless otherwise excluded by the other clauses of this proviso) has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect; (ix) any actions expressly required to be taken, or expressly required not to be taken, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; or (x) any action taken by, or at the written request of, Buyer or any actions required to be taken by law; provided, however, that if a change or effect related to clause (ii) or clauses (iv) through (vii) disproportionately adversely affects HLLY and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, compared to other persons operating in the same industry as HLLY and its subsidiaries, then such disproportionate impact may be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

“Seller Lock-up Agreement” means that certain Lock-Up Agreement, dated March 11, 2021, between HLLY and the Seller.

“Trading Day” means a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.

In addition, the Buyer acknowledges that HLLY suspended the use of the SEC Documents on December 14, 2021 and that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may occur pursuant to a registration statement containing disclosure that differs in materials respects from that contained in the SEC Documents.

(ii) None of the Seller or any of their respective affiliates, representatives, officers, employees, agents or controlling persons have provided any investment advice or rendered any opinion to the Buyer as to whether the transaction contemplated hereby is prudent or suitable.
