ARTICLE 1

THE OFFER

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been validly terminated pursuant to Article 8, on or before the date that is 10 Business Days from the date hereof, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Offer to purchase all the outstanding Company Shares at a price per Company Share, subject to the terms of Section 1.1(c), equal to the Offer Price, without interest. The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that is disseminated to all the Company Stockholders as and to the extent required by United States federal securities laws and contains the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in Annex A. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall consummate the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof. The obligation of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, irrevocably accept for payment and pay for any Company Shares validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to:

(i) the condition (the “Minimum Condition”) that, as of immediately prior to the Expiration Time, there be validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer, and “received” by the “depository” for the Offer (as such terms are defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL), a number of Company Shares that, together with the Company Shares then owned, if any, by Parent, Merger Sub and any of their respective Affiliates (excluding shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received”, as defined by Section 251(h) of the DGCL), represents at least a majority of all then outstanding Company Shares as of the Expiration Time; and

(ii) the other conditions set forth in Annex A (as they may be amended in accordance with this Agreement).

(b) Waiver of Conditions. Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right (but are not obligated to) at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion (subject to this Section 1.1(b)) to waive, in whole or in part, any of the conditions to the Offer, to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer in a manner consistent with this Agreement (including increasing the Offer Price); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, without the prior written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not (and Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to) (i) waive or modify the Minimum Condition or the Termination Condition, or (ii) make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer that (A) changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer; (B) decreases the Offer Price (except as pursuant to Section 1.1(c)) or the number of Company Shares sought in the Offer; (C) extends the Offer or extends or otherwise changes the Expiration Time, except as required or permitted by Section 1.1(d); (D) imposes conditions to the Offer other than those set forth in Annex A; (E) modifies or amends any term or condition of the Offer (including those set forth in Annex A) in any manner that is adverse to the Company Stockholders (subject to any right or obligation of Parent or Merger Sub to extend the Offer as permitted or required by Section 1.1(d)), (F) provides for any “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act or (G) otherwise amends or modifies the terms of the Offer in a manner adverse to the Company Stockholders or in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Offer.

- 3 -

(c) Adjustments to the Offer Price. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at any time occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Time, any change in the outstanding Equity Interests of the Company shall occur as a result of any reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), subdivision or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, any stock dividend or stock distribution (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Shares) with a record date during such period, or any other similar transaction (including any exercise of Rights (as defined in the Rights Agreement)), the Offer Price will be equitably adjusted to reflect such change in order to (i) provide the holders of each Company Share the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event, and (ii) provide that the aggregate payments required to be made by Parent and/or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement shall not be increased solely as a result of any event set forth above in this Section 1.1(c), including as a result of the adoption of the Rights Agreement or the issuance of the Rights by the Company as contemplated by the Rights Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 1.1(c) shall be construed to permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any such action without the consent of Parent if such consent is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Expiration and Extension of the Offer.

(i) Unless the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the twentieth (20th) Business Day following (and including the day of) the commencement of the Offer (determined pursuant to Rule 14(d)-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) (as such date and time may be extended, the “Expiration Time”), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company. In the event that the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, then the Offer shall expire on the date and at the time to which the Offer has been so extended.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1(d)(i) or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms:

(A) Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for any period required by any Law or Order, or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or the NYSE or as may be necessary to resolve any comments of the SEC or the staff or the NYSE, in each case, as applicable to the Offer (including for the avoidance of doubt the Schedule 14D-9 or the other Offer Documents).

(B) If, as of any then-scheduled Expiration Time, any of the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A are not satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder), Merger Sub may (and, if requested by the Company, shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to), extend the Offer for one or more successive extension periods of up to 10 Business Days each (with each such period to end at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the last Business Day of such period) (or any other period as may be approved in advance by the Company) in order to permit the satisfaction of all of the conditions to the Offer; provided, however, that if the sole then-unsatisfied condition

- 4 -

to the Offer is the Minimum Condition, Merger Sub shall not be required (but in its sole discretion may elect) to extend the Offer for more than three occasions in consecutive periods of 10 Business Days each (each such period to end at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the last Business Day of such period) (or such other period as may be approved in advance by the parties).

(C) If, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, the Company brings or shall have brought any action in accordance with Section 9.16 to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, the Expiration Time shall be extended, subject to Section 1.1(d)(v), (x) for the period during which such action is pending or (y) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be.

(iii) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall extend the Offer in any manner other than pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1(d)(ii) without the prior written consent of the Company.

(iv) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the then scheduled expiration of the Offer unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article 8, in which case Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer promptly (but in no event more than one Business Day) after such termination of this Agreement.

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date; and (B) any extension made pursuant to Section 1.1(d)(ii) shall not be deemed to impair, limit, or otherwise restrict in any manner the rights of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Article 8.

(vi) If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 8, prior to the Acceptance Time, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, promptly return or cause to be returned, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Company Shares to the registered holders thereof.

(vii) The Company agrees that no Company Shares held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(e) Payment for Company Shares. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, including the satisfaction of all conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to), at or as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Time (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 1.1(d)(ii)), but in any event within one Business Day hereof, irrevocably accept for payment, and, at or promptly following the Acceptance Time, but in any event within three Business Days thereof, pay for, all Company Shares that are validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer; provided that with respect to Company Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee, Merger Sub shall be under no obligation to make any payment for such Company Shares unless and until such Company Shares are delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee. Without

For the avoidance of doubt, Merger Sub shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, accept for payment or pay for any Company Shares if, as a result, Merger Sub would acquire less than the number of Company Shares necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition. The Offer Price payable in respect of each Company Share validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid without interest, net to the holder thereof in cash, subject to reduction for any withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.5.

Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to make delivery of the Offer Price and Merger Consideration, as applicable, out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. In the event the Exchange Fund shall at any time be insufficient to pay the aggregate amounts contemplated by Section 1.1(e) and Section 3.1(a), Parent shall, or shall cause Merger Sub to, promptly deposit additional cash in immediately available funds, as applicable, with the Paying Agent in an amount that is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or Merger Sub, in its sole discretion, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of the Company Shares; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by Parent and the Company prior to the Closing, any such investments shall be in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $5.0 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent or Merger Sub, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Company Shares.

(b) Procedures for Surrender.

(i) Payment of Offer Price. Following the Acceptance Time, Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Paying Agent to pay the Company Stockholders that are entitled to receive the Offer Price pursuant to Section 1.1(e) such amount in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1(e) and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Certificates. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Company Shares represented by certificates (the “Certificates”), which Company Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall be in a customary form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent prior to the Effective Time and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, shall have a customary release of all claims against Parent, Merger Sub and the Company arising out of or related to such holder’s ownership of Company Shares and shall otherwise be in such form as the Company, Parent and the Paying Agent shall reasonably agree upon (a “Letter of Transmittal”); and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)) in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration, the forms of which instructions shall be subject to the reasonable review of the Company prior to the Effective Time. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 3.2(e)) to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed in writing by Merger Sub, and upon delivery of a Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each Company Share formerly represented by such Certificates (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.5), and any Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any Transfer Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered and shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Agreement, except for Certificates representing any Dissenting Shares, which shall represent the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Company Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, or any Cancelled Shares.

- 12 -

(iii) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no holder of non-certificated Company Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall be required to deliver a Certificate or, in the case of holders of Book-Entry Shares held through The Depository Trust Company, an executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(a). In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares held through The Depository Trust Company whose Company Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall upon the Effective Time, in accordance with The Depository Trust Company’s customary procedures (including receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence of transfer or surrender as the Paying Agent may reasonably request)) and such other procedures as agreed by the Company, Parent, the Paying Agent and The Depository Trust Company, be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver to The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, for the benefit of the holder of such Book-Entry Shares held through it, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, in respect of each such Book-Entry Share, the Merger Consideration for each such Book-Entry Share (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.5) and such Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Book-Entry Shares not held through The Depository Trust Company (A) a Letter of Transmittal and (B) instructions for returning such Letter of Transmittal in exchange for the Merger Consideration, the forms of which Letter of Transmittal and instructions shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Company prior to the Effective Time. Upon delivery of such Letter of Transmittal, in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, the holder of such Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration, for each such Book-Entry Share (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.5), and such Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Book-Entry Shares. Until paid or surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Agreement, except for Book-Entry Shares representing Dissenting Shares, which shall be deemed to represent the right to receive payment in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, or Cancelled Shares.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further recording or registration of transfers of Company Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing Dissenting Shares, and holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing Cancelled Shares) shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable therefor upon the surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2. The Merger Consideration paid to such Company Stockholders in accordance with the terms of this Article 3 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing Dissenting Shares

- 13 -

shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares, except for the right to receive payment in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing Cancelled Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares as provided for by Section 3.1(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the Effective Time, Certificates or any other valid evidence of ownership of Company Shares that have not previously been surrendered are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the applicable Merger Consideration as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) made available to the Paying Agent that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the 12-month anniversary of the Effective Time will be returned to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any such holder who has not tendered its Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.2(b) prior to such time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for delivery of the Merger Consideration, in each case without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, in respect of such holder’s surrender of its Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 3.2(b). Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. None of the Surviving Corporation, the Company, Merger Sub, Parent or the Paying Agent, or any employee, officer, director, agent or Affiliate of any of them, shall be liable to any Person in respect of any part of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit, in customary form, reasonably acceptable to Parent (which shall contain an agreement in customary form to indemnify Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Affiliates against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Affiliates on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such Certificates) of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.1(a), without interest and subject to any withholding Taxes required by applicable Law. In addition, Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owner(s) of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in a customary and reasonable sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

- 14 -

3.3 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3), Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand, and has properly demanded, appraisal for such Company Shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such Company Shares, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and cease to exist, and the holders of Dissenting Shares shall only be entitled to the rights specifically granted to them under the DGCL with respect to Dissenting Shares. If any such holder of Dissenting Shares fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses its right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or other applicable Law, then such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted into, as of the Effective Time, and shall be exchangeable for, subject to compliance with the procedures in Section 3.2(b), solely the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes pursuant to Section 3.5 and as required by applicable Law. The Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt notice of (and in any event within two Business Days following) any written demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand; and (ii) the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not pay or settle, or make any payment or settlement offer, prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument or agree to do any of the foregoing unless Parent shall have given its written consent to such payment or settlement, or payment or settlement offer.

3.4 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Company Stock Options. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto, whether vested or unvested, shall by virtue of the Merger, automatically and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent or the holder thereof, be cancelled and terminated and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) an amount equal to (A) the Merger Consideration, less (B) the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option (the “Option Consideration”); provided, however, that any Company Stock Option with respect to which the applicable per share exercise price is greater than the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled without consideration therefor. Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall, or Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay to each holder of a Company Stock Option (less any applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 3.5), through the Surviving Corporation’s normal payroll procedures, the applicable Option Consideration with respect to such Company Stock Option as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than the next regularly scheduled payroll date) after the Effective Time.

(b) Company RSU Awards.

(i) Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Vested Company RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior thereto and each Company RSU Award held by a non-employee director of the Company that is outstanding immediately prior thereto (each a “Cancelled RSU Award”) shall by virtue of the Merger, automatically and without

- 15 -

any action on the part of the Company, Parent or the holder thereof, be cancelled and terminated and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Cancelled RSU Award, by (y) the Merger Consideration (the “RSU Consideration”). Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall, or Parent shall cause one of its Affiliates to, pay through payroll to each holder of a Cancelled RSU Award the applicable RSU Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 3.5) as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than the next regularly scheduled payroll date) after the Effective Time.

(ii) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Unvested Company RSU Award shall be cancelled and converted into a deferred cash award in respect of an amount obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Unvested Company RSU Award, by (y) the Merger Consideration (each, an “RSU Replacement Award”). Each RSU Replacement Award will be governed by the terms of an individual agreement between the Company and the holder of such RSU Replacement Award and shall represent the right to receive a cash payment that shall become payable on the earlier of January 20, 2023 or on a termination of employment by the Surviving Corporation without “Cause” or by the holder of such RSU Replacement Award for “Good Reason” (as those terms are defined in the Trecora Resources Change of Control Severance Plan, and either such termination, a “Qualifying Termination”). The Surviving Corporation shall make any required cash payment in respect of each RSU Replacement Award (less any applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 3.5, a certain portion of which may be satisfied in the year in which the Closing occurs) on the earlier of (A) January 20, 2023 or (B) within 60 days following a Qualifying Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the holder of an RSU Replacement Award need not be employed on January 20, 2023 to be eligible to receive the cash payment in respect of such RSU Replacement Award.

(c) Company PSU Awards.

(i) Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Vested Company PSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior thereto and each Company PSU Award held by a non-employee director of the Company that is outstanding immediately prior thereto (each a “Cancelled PSU Award”) shall by virtue of the Merger, automatically and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent or the holder thereof, be cancelled and terminated and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Cancelled PSU Award assuming target performance, by (y) the Merger Consideration (the “PSU Consideration”). Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall, or Parent shall cause one of its Affiliates to, pay through payroll to each holder of a Cancelled PSU Award, as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than the next regularly scheduled payroll date) the applicable PSU Consideration.

(ii) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Unvested Company PSU Award shall be cancelled and converted into a deferred cash award in respect of an amount obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Unvested Company PSU Award assuming target performance, by (y) the Merger Consideration (each, a

- 16 -

“PSU Replacement Award”). Each PSU Replacement Award will be governed by the terms of an individual agreement between the Company and the holder of such PSU Replacement Award and shall represent the right to receive a cash payment that shall become payable on the earlier of January 20, 2023 or on a Qualifying Termination. The Surviving Corporation shall make any required cash payment in respect of each PSU Replacement Award (less any applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 3.5, a certain portion of which may be satisfied in the year in which the Closing occurs) on the earlier of (A) January 20, 2023 or (B) within 60 days following a Qualifying Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the holder of a PSU Replacement Award need not be employed on January 20, 2023 to be eligible to receive the cash payment in respect of such PSU Replacement Award.

3.5 Withholding Rights. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company and the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts that Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any provision of applicable Tax Law; provided, however, that, except (i) with respect to amounts treated as compensation for Tax purposes or (ii) as a result of the failure of any holder of Company Shares to provide Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable, demonstrating that such holder is exempt from withholding, Parent shall provide the Company commercially reasonable notice of any applicable payor’s intention to make such deduction or withholding and provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Company to obtain such reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

3.6 Further Actions. As of the Effective Time, the officers and directors of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall have taken all actions required to authorize the execution and delivery, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and the taking and doing, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Merger Sub, of any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

5.11 Absence of Certain Arrangements. As of the date of this Agreement, other than this Agreement and the Tender and Support Agreements, neither Parent or Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates is a party to any Contract, or has authorized, made or entered into or committed or agreed to enter into, any formal or informal arrangements or other understandings (whether or not binding) with any stockholder, director, officer, employee or other Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a) relating to (i) this Agreement, the Merger or the Offer or (ii) the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, businesses or operations (including as to continuing employment) from and after the Effective Time; or (b) pursuant to which any (i) such holder of Company Shares would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount nature than the Offer Price or Merger Consideration in respect of such holder’s Company Shares, (ii) such holder of Company Shares has agreed to tender its Company Shares in the Offer or vote against any Superior Company Proposal or (iii) such stockholder, director, officer, employee or other Affiliate of the Company has agreed to provide, directly or indirectly, equity investment to Parent, Merger Sub or the Company to finance any portion of the Merger.

5.12 Financing.

(a) As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has provided to the Company true, correct and complete copies, dated as of the date of this Agreement, of (i) the Equity Commitment Letter from the Investors, pursuant to which the Investors have, severally (and not jointly) committed to provide, subject only to the terms and conditions contained therein, funds equal to the applicable portion of the Required Amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”), (ii) the Debt (ABL) Commitment Letter from the Debt (ABL) Financing Sources party thereto and (iii) the Debt (Term Loan) Commitment Letter from the Debt (Term Loan) Financing Sources party thereto (together with the Debt (ABL) Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Letters”) pursuant to which such applicable Debt Financing Sources have committed to provide, subject only to the applicable terms and conditions therein, the applicable portion of the Required Amount set forth therein, which amounts together with the amounts contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter shall equal no less than the Required Amount (the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters being collectively referred to as the “Debt Financing”; and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”), in each case solely for the Financing Purposes. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no other side letters or agreements to which Parent or Merger Sub is a party relating to the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Letters. As of the date of this Agreement, (A) each Financing Letter, in the form provided to the Company, (i) is in full force and effect, (ii) has not been amended, withdrawn, supplemented, terminated, rescinded or modified (and no waiver of any provision thereof has been

- 42 -

granted) and, to the Knowledge of Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, no such amendment, withdrawal, supplement, termination, rescission or modification is contemplated (other than to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other entities who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date of this Agreement), and (iii) is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Investors, and to the Knowledge of Parent, the applicable Debt Financing Sources, as applicable, is in full force and effect, and is enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof against Parent, Merger Sub, the Investors and, to the Knowledge of the Parent, the applicable Debt Financing Sources, subject, in each case, to the Enforceability Exceptions. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred (and no event is reasonably expected to occur) which would reasonably be expected to result in any material breach of or constitute a material default under (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would result in any material breach of or constitute a material default under) or reasonably be expected to result in a failure to satisfy a condition precedent, in each case, on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Investors or, to the Knowledge of Parent, the applicable Debt Financing Sources, as applicable, or would permit any party to such Financing Letter to terminate, or to not make the initial funding in an amount required to satisfy the applicable portion of the Required Amount under such Financing Letter. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the conditions set forth in Annex A and Article 7 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied as of immediately prior to the Expiration Time or the Closing, as applicable, but subject to such conditions being able to be satisfied) or waived by the Closing, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Debt Financing will not be satisfied or that (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) the full amount of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters to be funded on or prior to the Expiration Time will not be available to Parent or Merger Sub on or prior to the Expiration Time. Each of Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, has fully paid, or caused to be fully paid, any and all commitment fees or other fees to the extent required to be paid on or prior to the date hereof in connection with the Financing.

(b) Assuming the Financing is funded or invested in accordance with the Financing Letters, Parent and Merger Sub’s cash on hand plus the aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Financing Letters, taken together, will be sufficient for Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this agreement, including (i) paying the aggregate Offer Price and Merger Consideration any other amounts required to be paid by Parent and Merger Sub on the Closing Date in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, to refinance existing indebtedness (for the avoidance of doubt, other than operating leases) of the Company and its subsidiaries and pay any fees, costs and expenses of or payable by Parent or Merger Sub on the Closing Date in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) (such amount, the “Required Amount”); (ii) paying all other related fees, costs and expenses incurred by Parent and Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) satisfying all of their other respective obligations under this Agreement and any ancillary document or agreement delivered in connection herewith or therewith ((i), (ii), and (iii), collectively and such purposes, the “Financing Purposes”). Parent and Merger Sub have not incurred any obligation, commitment, restriction or liability of any kind, and are not contemplating or aware of any obligation, commitment, restriction or liability of any kind, in either case, which would reasonably be expected to materially impair or materially adversely affect such resources.

- 43 -

(c) As of the date of this Agreement, each Financing Letter (i) contains all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the Investors and the applicable Debt Financing Sources to make the applicable portion of the Required Amount available to Parent and Merger Sub on the terms and conditions set forth therein, and (ii) subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, does not contain any contingencies that would permit the applicable Investor or applicable Debt Financing Source to reduce, or rescind its obligation to provide, the total amount of the Financing below the amount required to pay the Required Amount.

(d) The Equity Commitment Letter provides, and will continue to provide, that the Company is an express third-party beneficiary of such Equity Commitment Letter, and the Company is (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company’s stockholders) entitled to enforce, directly or indirectly, such Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms against the Investors.

(e) Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledge and agree that Parent and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not in any way contingent upon or otherwise subject to Parent and Merger Sub’s consummation of any financing arrangements (including the Equity Financing or the Debt Financing), Parent and Merger Sub’s obtaining of any financing or the availability, grant, provision or extension of any financing to Parent and Merger Sub.

(f) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent has delivered to the Company a true, correct and complete copy of the duly executed limited guarantee of the Investors, dated as of the date of this Agreement, in favor of the Company in respect of Parent’s obligations to pay the Parent Termination Fee and Parent’s and Merger Sub’s other payment or reimbursement obligations specified therein, up to the aggregate amount specified therein (the “Limited Guarantee”). The Limited Guarantee is (a) a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investors, (b) enforceable against the Investors in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions and (c) in full force and effect. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of the Investors under the Limited Guarantee.

5.13 Antitrust. To the knowledge of Parent, no fact or circumstance exists, including any possible other transaction under consideration by Parent (or its Affiliates) or Merger Sub, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the filings or approvals required under any Competition Laws.

No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Article 5, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates or any other Person on behalf of such Persons makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to them or with respect to any other information provided to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent and Merger Sub (on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives) each acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement (as qualified by the Company Disclosure Schedule), (a) neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives makes, or has made, any representations or warranties relating to itself or its business or otherwise in

- 44 -

connection with the Merger or the Offer, the other matters contemplated by this Agreement and the entry into this Agreement by the parties hereto, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, their Affiliates and their respective Representatives are relying on or has relied on any representation or warranty of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries except for those expressly set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement; (b) no Person has been authorized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make any representation or warranty relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their businesses or otherwise in connection with the Merger or the Offer, and if made, such representation or warranty must not be relied upon by Parent or Merger Sub as having been authorized by such party; and (c) any estimates, projections, predictions, data, financial information, memoranda, presentations or any other materials or information provided, addressed or otherwise made available to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Representatives are not and shall not be deemed to be or include representations or warranties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (and no such representation or warranty has been made or relied on with respect thereto) unless and only to the extent any such materials or information is the subject of any express representation or warranty set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement (as qualified by the Company Disclosure Schedule).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Proceeding (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is made against such persons with respect to matters subject to indemnification, expense advancement or exculpation hereunder on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 6.8 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such Proceeding or investigation.

- 60 -

Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement, but in such case shall purchase as favorable of coverage as is reasonably available for such amount.

Except for the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement, neither the

- 64 -

Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall have any liability to Parent in respect of any financial statements, other financial information, or data or other information provided pursuant to this Section 6.15. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the condition set forth in clause (B)(3) of Annex A, as it applies to the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.15, shall be deemed satisfied unless the Company has knowingly, willfully and materially breached its obligations under this Section 6.15 and such breach has been the primary cause of the Debt Financing not being obtained. The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing so long as such logos (x) are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) are used solely in connection with a description of the Company, its business and products or the Merger (including in connection with any marketing materials related to the Debt Financing). All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to this Agreement shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Parent and Merger Sub will be permitted to disclose such information to any Debt Financing Sources and other financial institutions and investors that are or may become parties to the Debt Financing (and, in each case, to their respective Representatives) so long as such Persons (i) agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement as if parties thereto; or (ii) are otherwise subject to other customary confidentiality undertakings; provided, however, that Parent shall be liable for any such breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement or otherwise customary confidentiality undertakings by any Debt Financing Sources and other financial institutions and investors that are or may become parties to the Debt Financing.

6.16 Financing.

(a) Equity Financing.

(i) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange, obtain and consummate the Equity Financing in an amount required to satisfy the applicable portion of the Required Amount contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter not later than the Expiration Time on the terms and conditions described in or contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter. Each of Parent and Merger Sub will not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Equity Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification or waiver would (A) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the funding of the Equity Financing or would otherwise materially adversely change, amend, modify or expand any of the conditions precedent to the funding of the Equity Financing, (B) be reasonably expected to prevent or materially delay the availability of all or a portion of the Equity Financing necessary to pay the applicable portion of the Required Amount contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (C) reduce the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing below the amount necessary to pay the applicable portion of the Required Amount contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter or (D) otherwise materially adversely affect the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce their rights under the Equity Commitment Letter, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in full force and effect the Equity Commitment Letter and the Limited Guarantee, (ii) satisfy and comply with on a timely basis all

- 65 -

conditions and covenants to the funding or investing of the Equity Financing required to pay the applicable portion of the Required Amount contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter that are to be satisfied by Parent or Merger Sub, (iii) consummate the Equity Financing in an amount required to pay the applicable portion of the Required Amount contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter, or enforce the Limited Guarantee, at or prior to the Expiration Time, in accordance with its terms, (iv) enforce its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter and the Limited Guarantee and (v) reasonably cooperate with and assist the Company in enforcing its third party beneficiary rights under the Equity Commitment Letter. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall release or consent to the termination of the obligations of any Investor to provide the Equity Financing in an amount required to pay the applicable portion of the Required Amount contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 6.16 will require, and in no event will the reasonable best efforts of Parent or Merger Sub be deemed or construed to require, either Parent or Merger Sub to seek the Equity Financing from any source other than a counterparty to, or in any amount in excess of that contemplated by, the Equity Commitment Letter.

(iii) Parent shall give the Company, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within three Business Days), written notice after Parent’s Knowledge (i) of any material default or breach (or any event that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would, or would reasonably be expected to, give rise to any material default or breach) by any party under the Equity Commitment Letter of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware, (ii) of any termination of the Equity Commitment Letter, (iii) of the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of any written notice or other written communication from any Investor with respect to any (A) actual or asserted material default or breach or termination or repudiation of the Equity Commitment Letter, or any material provision thereof, in each case by any party thereto, or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Equity Commitment Letter that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing or make the funding of the Equity Financing required to pay the applicable portion of the Required Amount contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter materially less likely to occur or give rise to a right of termination under any such arrangement, and (iv) of the occurrence of an event or development that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to obtain all or any portion of the Equity Financing necessary to pay the applicable portion of the Required Amount contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon the request of the Company from time to time, Parent will, as promptly as reasonably practicable, update the Company on the material activity and developments of its efforts to arrange and obtain the Equity Financing, including by providing copies of all definitive agreements (and drafts of all offering documents and marketing materials) related to the Equity Financing, and any amendments, modifications or replacements to the Equity Commitment Letter.

(b) Debt Financing.

(i) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letters, including using its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as reasonably

- 66 -

practicable, (i) maintain in full force and effect the Debt Commitment Letters subject to the terms and conditions thereof (including obtaining an extension of the termination of any Debt Commitment Letter (on the same terms and conditions contained therein, including with respect to the conditions set forth therein, except for such amendments or modifications that would be permitted in connection with any Alternative Financing) prior to such termination to the extent such Debt Commitment Letter would otherwise terminate prior to the Outside Date), (ii) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis (or, if applicable, obtaining waivers thereof), all conditions to Parent and Merger Sub obtaining the Debt Financing set forth therein (including the payment of any fees required as a condition to the Debt Financing) required to pay the applicable portion of the Required Amount contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters that are to be satisfied by Parent or Merger Sub to the extent such conditions are applicable to, and within the control of, Parent or Merger Sub, (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters (including any related flex provisions (to the extent such flex provisions are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof)) or on other terms that are (A) reasonably acceptable to the Debt Financing Sources and (B) in the aggregate not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent (including with respect to conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters) so that such agreements are in effect no later than the Expiration Time, (iv) prepare, on a timely basis, the necessary offering circulars, private placement memoranda or other offering documents or marketing materials with respect to the Debt Financing, (v) subject to Section 6.16(b)(iii), enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letters, and (vi) consummate the Debt Financing in an amount required to pay the applicable portion of the Required Amount set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters, including using its reasonable best efforts to cause the Debt Financing Sources to provide the Debt Financing at or prior to the Expiration Time, to the extent the proceeds thereof are required for the Financing Purposes. Any material breach by Parent or Merger Sub of the Debt Commitment Letter or other Debt Document shall be deemed to be a breach by Parent or Merger Sub of this Section 6.16(b). Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company written notice as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within three Business Days) after Parent’s Knowledge (A) of any material breach or default on the part of any party to any Debt Commitment Letter or other Debt Document of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware, (B) if and when Parent and/or Merger Sub believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (C) of the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to (1) any actual or asserted material breach or default or termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letters or other Debt Document or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or other Debt Document (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing or Debt Documents) that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing or make the funding of the Debt Financing required to pay the applicable portion of the Required Amount contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters materially less likely to occur and (D) of any expiration or termination of the Debt Commitment Letters or other Debt Document. As soon as reasonably practicable, Parent and/or Merger Sub shall provide any information available to Parent and/or Merger Sub, as applicable, and reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) of the immediately preceding sentence. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall keep the

- 67 -

Company informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of their efforts to arrange the Debt Financing and provide to the Company executed copies of the definitive documents related to the Debt Financing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amendments or modifications thereto or to the Alternative Financing as described below) (provided that any fee letters, engagement letters or other agreements that, in accordance with customary practice, are confidential by their terms, and that do not affect the conditionality or reduce the committed amount of the Debt Financing, may be redacted in a customary manner so as not to disclose such terms that are so confidential). If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable (whether through expiration, termination or otherwise) on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letters (after taking into account flex terms) (unless such unavailability is due to the failure of a condition to the consummation of the Debt Financing being primarily caused by the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries set forth in this Agreement and as a result of which alternative financing sources are not otherwise then available), Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative financing, including from alternative sources, on terms that in the aggregate are not materially less favorable to Parent and Merger Sub (including with respect to any conditions to the Debt Financing) than the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters and in an amount (when taken together with any remaining available portion of the Debt Financing (if any) and the Equity Financing), is sufficient to enable Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with its terms (“Alternative Financing”), and the provisions of this Section 6.16(b) shall be applicable to the Alternative Financing, and for purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 6.15 and this Section 6.16(b), all references to the Debt Financing shall be deemed to refer to such Alternative Financing (in lieu of the Debt Financing replaced thereby) and all references to the Debt Commitment Letters or other Debt Documents shall instead include the applicable documents for the Alternative Financing (in lieu of the Debt Commitment Papers and the other Debt Documents replaced thereby). Parent and Merger Sub shall (1) comply in all material respects with the Debt Commitment Letters and each definitive agreement entered into with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Papers or as otherwise may be agreed (collectively, with the Debt Commitment Letters, the “Debt Documents”), (2) subject to Section 6.16(b)(iii), enforce their rights under the Debt Commitment Letters and other Debt Documents, including using its reasonable best efforts to cause the Debt Financing Sources to fund the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing subject to the terms and conditions thereof and (3) after the date hereof, not permit, without the prior written consent of the Company, any material amendment or modification to be made to, or any termination, rescission or withdrawal of, or any material waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letters or other Debt Document or any fee letter referred to in the Debt Commitment Letters that (individually or in the aggregate with any other amendments, modifications or waivers) would (x) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing thereunder (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount thereof), if after giving effect to such reduction, the amount of Debt Financing and Equity Financing will be less in the aggregate than an amount necessary (taking into account any corresponding increase in any other portion of the Financing and any Alternative Financing) in order for the Parent and Merger Sub to fund the amounts required to be funded at Closing pursuant to this Agreement, or (y) impose any new or additional condition, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any condition, to the receipt of any portion of the Debt Financing in a manner that would

- 68 -

reasonably be expected to (I) materially delay or prevent the Closing Date, (II) make the funding of any portion of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of any condition to obtaining any portion of the Debt Financing) materially less likely to occur, or (III) materially adversely impact (a) the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce their respective rights against any other party to the Debt Commitment Letter or other Debt Document, (b) the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or (c) the likelihood of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Merger Sub each may amend or modify the Debt Commitment Letters (x) in accordance with the market flex provisions thereof, (y) to extend the expiration date thereof, together with any related amendments or modifications to the Debt Commitment Letters that would be permitted in connection with any Alternative Financing, or (z) to add lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents, or similar entities and to grant to such persons such approval rights as are customarily granted to additional lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities. Parent and Merger Sub shall provide notice to the Company (which may be by phone or email), as promptly as reasonably practicable, upon receiving the Debt Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, compliance by Parent and Merger Sub with this Section 6.16(b) shall not relieve Parent and Merger Sub of their respective obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not the Debt Financing or Alternative Financing is available. Parent shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all material agreements pursuant to which any such Alternative Financing source shall have committed to provide Parent and/or Merger Sub with any portion of such Alternative Financing (subject in respect of any related fee letter to redaction in a customary manner).

(ii) Parent and Merger Sub shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees and other Representatives, from and against any and all damages incurred, directly or indirectly, in connection with the Debt Financing or any information provided in connection therewith. Parent shall promptly upon the Company’s request reimburse the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and ratings agencies’ fees) incurred by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation described in Section 6.15 or otherwise in connection with the Debt Financing, except to the extent arising from the willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or intentional misrepresentation of the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives and affiliates.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement require them to pursue litigation against any of the Debt Financing Sources.

6.17 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) The Company shall promptly notify Parent of (i) any written notice or other communication received by any of the Company or its Subsidiaries from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, if the failure to obtain such consent would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or reasonably be expected to materially impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions; (ii) any Proceeding commenced or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened that may materially impede or delay the

The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.17(a) shall not affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Offer or the remedies available to Parent and Merger Sub hereunder.

(b) Parent shall promptly notify the Company of (i) any written notice or other communication received by Parent or Merger Sub from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, if the failure to obtain such consent would have a Parent Material Adverse Effect or reasonably be expected to materially impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions; (ii) any Proceeding commenced or, to Parent’s Knowledge, threatened that may materially impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions; (iii) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub contained herein at any time during the term hereof of which Parent obtains Knowledge if such inaccuracy would reasonably be expected to materially impede or delay Parent and Merger Sub’s ability to consummate the Transactions; and (iv) any failure of either Parent or Merger Sub to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder of which Parent obtains Knowledge if such failure would reasonably be expected to materially impede or delay Parent and Merger Sub’s ability to consummate the Transactions. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.17(b) shall not affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or the remedies available to the Company hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will any failure by the Company or Parent to comply with the applicable terms of this Section 6.17 be used by Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or Company, on the other hand, as applicable, as a basis to (x) terminate this Agreement or (y) assert the failure of any condition in Annex A to be satisfied.

6.18 Stockholder Rights Agreement. Within 24 hours of the date of this Agreement, the Company Board shall adopt the Rights Agreement in the form previously approved by Parent. The Company shall not, without Parent’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably delayed), amend or waive any provision of the Rights Agreement, redeem any of the Rights issued under the Rights Agreement, or take any action to exempt any Person under the Rights Agreement; provided, however, that the Company Board may amend or waive any provision of the Rights Agreement, redeem any Rights pursuant to the Rights Agreement or take any action to exempt any Person under the Rights Agreement if (i) (A) none of the Company, Company Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives shall have breached any of the provisions set forth in Section 6.3, (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that the failure to take the foregoing actions would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (C) the Company provides Parent with written notice of the Company’s intent to take such action(s) at least three Business Days before taking such action(s); or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction orders the Company to take such action(s) or issues an injunction mandating such action(s) (the conditions set forth in (i) and (ii), respectively, each a “Rights Agreement Condition” and collectively the “Rights Agreement Conditions”).

- 73 -

opportunity costs, lost profits and the time value of money) and (b) the provisions of Section 6.2(b), this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article 9 of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with and subject to their respective terms and conditions in all respects.

For the avoidance of doubt, any valid termination by Parent shall also be an effective termination by Merger Sub.

8.3 Fees and Expenses.

(a) The parties agree that if this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent in accordance with Section 8.1(d) or by the Company in accordance with Section 8.1(e), then the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent (or its designee) prior to or concurrently with such termination, in the case of a termination by the Company, or within three Business Days thereafter, in the case of a termination by Parent, the Company Termination Fee.

(b) The parties agree that (i) if this Agreement is validly terminated by (A) either Parent or the Company in accordance with Section 8.1(b) and at such time the conditions set forth in clause (B)(1) and clause (B)(7) of Annex A and Section 7.2 shall have been satisfied, (B) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(f) (as a result of Company’s material breach of its covenants in Section 6.3 or Section 6.18) or (C) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(j), and, prior to the date of any such termination referenced in Sections 8.3(b)(i)(A), (B) or (C), a Company Acquisition Proposal is made public by the Company or any other Person or otherwise becomes publicly known, and in each case such Company Acquisition Proposal has not been unconditionally withdrawn or otherwise abandoned prior to such termination, and (ii) within 12 months after such termination (A) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal which is later consummated or (B) the transactions contemplated by any Company Acquisition Proposal are consummated (which need not be the same Company Acquisition Proposal that was made public or publicly known prior to the termination of this Agreement), then the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) the Company Termination Fee to Parent (or its designee), by wire transfer of same-day funds no later than two Business Days after the consummation of such transaction. For purposes of this Section 8.3(b), the term “Company Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.6, except that the references to “20% or more” shall be deemed to be references to “more than 50%.” In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Company Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events.

- 74 -

(c) The parties agree that if this Agreement is validly terminated by the Company pursuant to (x) Section 8.1(i) or (y) Section 8.1(b) under circumstances in which the Company would have been entitled to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(i), Parent shall pay to the Company, within three Business Days following such termination, the Parent Termination Fee, it being understood that in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Parent Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events.

(d) The parties agree that if this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(j), then the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent (or its designee) within two Business Days following such termination, the documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Debt Financing and the fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, experts and consultants, incurred by Parent and Merger Sub in connection with this Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Parent Expenses”); provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay (or cause to be paid) any Parent Expenses in excess of an aggregate of $4,500,000. The reimbursement of Parent Expenses pursuant to this Section 8.3(d) shall not relieve the Company of any subsequent obligation to pay any applicable Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b); provided that any payment of Parent Expenses shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, any Company Termination Fee that becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 8.3(b).

(e) The Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of this Agreement and that, without this Section 8.3, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub would not have entered into this Agreement, and that each of the Company Termination Fee and the Parent Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as applicable, in the circumstances in which such fee is payable pursuant to Section 8.3(a), Section 8.3(b) or Section 8.3(c), as applicable, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any ancillary document or agreement delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, subject in all respects to Section 8.2, this Section 8.3, Section 9.16 and Section 9.17 (including, in each case, the limitations set forth therein), (i) in the event that this Agreement is terminated under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable, payment of the Company Termination Fee shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at Law, in equity, in Contract, in tort or otherwise) of Parent, Merger Sub, any Parent Related Party and any other Person in connection with any termination of this Agreement in the circumstances in which such Company Termination Fee became payable, and upon payment of such amount, (A) none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) none of Parent, Merger Sub, any Parent Related Party and any other Person shall have any further rights or claims against any of the Company Related Parties under this Agreement or otherwise, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and (ii) in the event that this Agreement is terminated under circumstances where the Parent Termination Fee is payable, payment of the Parent Termination Fee shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at Law, in equity, in Contract, in tort or

- 75 -

otherwise) of the Company, any Company Related Party and any other Person in connection with any termination of this Agreement in the circumstances in which such Parent Termination Fee became payable, and upon payment of such amount, (A) none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) none of Company Related Parties and any other Person shall have any further rights or claims against any of Parent, Merger Sub or the Parent Related Parties under this Agreement or otherwise, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of the Company Termination Fee will not relieve the Company Related Parties from liability for any fraud or Willful Breach.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any documents executed in connection with this Agreement or otherwise, but subject in all respects to Section 9.17 (including the limitations set forth therein), (A) the maximum aggregate liability, whether in equity or at Law, in Contract, in tort or otherwise, together with any payment in connection with this Agreement or otherwise, of the Parent Related Parties or the Company Related Parties, in each case collectively, (including monetary damages for fraud or breach, whether willful, intentional, unintentional or otherwise (including Willful Breach), or monetary damages in lieu of specific performance) (i) under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or otherwise, (ii) in connection with the failure of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or (iii) in respect of any representation or warranty made or alleged to have been made in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or otherwise, will not exceed under any circumstances an amount equal to the Parent Termination Fee and the amounts owed under Section 6.16(b)(ii), in the case of the liability of the Parent Related Parties, or the Company Termination Fee, in the case of the liability of the Company Related Parties; and (B) neither the Company Related Parties nor the Parent Related Parties may seek, directly or indirectly, to recover against the Parent Related Parties or the Company Related Parties, as the case may be, or compel payment by the Parent Related Parties or the Company Related Parties, as the case may be, of any monetary damages in excess of the Parent Termination Fee and the amounts owed under Section 6.16(b)(ii), in the case of recovery sought by any Company Related Parties, or the Company Termination Fee, in the case of recovery sought by any Parent Related Parties, in each case as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or otherwise, under no circumstances may (1) the Company receive both (A) an award of monetary damages, on the one hand, and (B) any of the Parent Termination Fee and the amounts due under Section 6.16(b)(ii), on the other hand, and (2) Parent or Merger Sub receive both (A) an award of monetary damages, on the one hand, and (B) the Company Termination Fee, on the other hand.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.16(a) or anything in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or otherwise to the contrary, and subject in all respects to this Section 9.16(b), in no event shall the Company or any Company Related Party (or any of the foregoing’s respective Representatives) be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligation to cause all or any portion of the Equity Financing to be funded (whether under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter) or otherwise cause Parent or Merger Sub to take action to consummate the Merger or the Offer (including the obligation to pay all or any portion of the Offer Price and/or the Merger Consideration) unless and only if: (i) with respect to the Offer, the consummation of the Offer, the payment of the Offer Price and the Equity Financing related thereto, all of the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied as of immediately prior to the Expiration Time, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of such conditions as of immediately prior to the Expiration Time), (ii) with respect to the Merger, the payment of the Merger Consideration

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or otherwise, for the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may, subject in all respects to Section 8.2, Section 8.3, this Section 9.16(b) and Section 9.17 (including, in each case, the limitations set forth therein), concurrently seek (x) specific performance or other equitable relief, subject in all respects to this Section 9.16(b), and (y) payment of monetary damages pursuant to clause (a) of the proviso in Section 8.2 or the Parent Termination Fee, if, as and when required pursuant to Section 8.3(c), under no circumstances shall the Company, directly or indirectly, be permitted or entitled to receive (1) both a grant of specific performance to cause the Equity Financing to be funded (whether under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter), on the one hand, and payment of monetary damages and/or the payment of all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee and/or any of the amounts, if any, as and when due, pursuant to Section 6.16(b)(ii) and Section 8.3(g), on the other hand, or (2) both payment of monetary damages, on the one hand, and payment of any of the Parent Termination Fee and/or any of the amounts, if any, as and when due, pursuant to Section 6.16(b)(ii) and Section 8.3(g), on the other hand.
