Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date the Company and Merger Sub shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL (the time of such filing, or such later time as may be agreed in writing by the Company and Parent and specified in the Certificate of Merger, being the “Effective Time”).

Section 2.2    The Merger. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, Merger Sub and the Company shall consummate the Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Corporation after the Merger and as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. References to the Company for periods after the Effective Time shall include the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.3    Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Company shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Corporation, which shall include the assumption by the Surviving Corporation of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Company set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Effective Time.

Section 2.4    Governing Documents. Subject to Section 6.13, at the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to read the same as the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “HMAN Group Holdings Inc.”.

Section 2.5    Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. Immediately after the Effective Time, the initial board of directors and executive officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the board of directors and executive officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Company Stockholders or the holders of any of the securities of Parent, the following shall occur:

(a)    Each share of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares and Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and

5

automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration, with each Company Stockholder being entitled to receive with respect to each such share of Company Common Stock, the Closing Stock Per Share Amount, without interest, upon surrender of stock certificates representing all of such Company Stockholder’s Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.8(g)) and delivery of the other documents required pursuant to Section 2.8. As of the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock shall cease to exist and shall no longer be outstanding, and each Company Stockholder shall cease to have any other rights in and to the Company or the Surviving Corporation, and each Certificate relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration, if any, contemplated by this Section 2.6(a).

(b)    No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, and each Company Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such Company Stockholder) shall receive from Parent, in lieu of such fractional share (i) one share of Parent Common Stock if the aggregate amount of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock such Company Stockholder would otherwise be entitled to is equal to or exceeds 0.50; or (ii) no shares of Parent Common Stock if the aggregate amount of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock such Company Stockholder would otherwise be entitled to is less than 0.50.

(c)    Each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, which shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(d)    Each share of Company Capital Stock held in the Company’s treasury or owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (each an “Excluded Share”), shall be cancelled and no consideration shall be paid or payable with respect thereto.

(e)    The numbers of shares of Parent Common Stock that the Company Stockholders are entitled to receive as a result of the Merger and as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, split-up, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Class A Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Class A Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Closing.

Section 2.7    Effect of the Merger on the Company Options and Restricted Stock.

(a)    At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of any holder or beneficiary thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into an option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (each, a “Parent Option”). Each Parent Option shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including expiration date, vesting conditions, and exercise provisions), except that (i) each Parent Option shall be exercisable for that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time

6

multiplied by (B) the Closing Stock Per Option Amount; (ii) the per share exercise price for each share of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Parent Option shall be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Closing Stock Per Option Amount; (iii) the Company Board (or the compensation committee of the Company Board) may appropriately adjust the performance conditions applicable to certain of the Parent Options; and (iv) the Company Board (or the compensation committee of the Company Board) may make such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes to the Parent Options as it may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Parent Options and to ensure consistency with the administrative and ministerial provisions of the New Parent Incentive Equity Plan; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable under each Parent Option shall be determined in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and provided, further, that in the case of any Company Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable under such Parent Option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(b)     At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Restricted Stock, each share of unvested Company Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of restricted Parent Class A Common Stock (each, “Parent Restricted Stock”) equal to the Closing Stock Per Restricted Share Amount with substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the related share of Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions), except that (i) any per-share repurchase price of such Parent Restricted Stock shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per-share repurchase price applicable to the Company Restricted Stock, by (B) the Closing Per Stock Restricted Share Amount, rounded up to the nearest cent and (ii) the Company Board (or the compensation committee of the Company Board) may make such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes to the Parent Restricted Stock as it may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Parent Restricted Stock and to ensure consistency with the administrative and ministerial provisions of the New Parent Incentive Equity Plan.

(c)    At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of any holder or beneficiary thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into a restricted stock unit in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, a “Parent RSU”). Each Parent RSU shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions), except that (i) each Parent RSU shall represent the right to receive (subject to vesting) that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole number) of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Company RSU Exchange Ratio; and (ii) the Company Board (or the compensation committee of the Company Board) may make such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes to the Parent RSUs as it may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Parent RSUs and to ensure consistency with the administrative and ministerial provisions of the New Parent Incentive Equity Plan.

(d)    The Company shall take all necessary actions to effect the treatment of Company Options, Company Restricted Stock and Company RSUs pursuant to this Section 2.7 in accordance with the Company Incentive Plan and any applicable award agreement and to ensure that no Company Option may be exercised prior to the effective date of an applicable Form S-8 (or other applicable form, including Form S-1 or Form S-3) of Parent. The Company Board shall amend the Company Incentive Plan and take

7

all other necessary actions, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, in order to (i) cancel any remaining unallocated share reserve under the Company Incentive Plan and provide that shares of Company Common Stock in respect of Company Awards that for any reason become re-eligible for future issuance, shall be cancelled, (ii) provide that no new Company Award will be granted under the Company Incentive Plan, and (iii) make such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes to the Company Incentive Plan as the Company Board (or the compensation committee of the Company Board) may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Company Incentive Plan and any outstanding awards following the Closing.

Section 2.8    Surrender of Company Certificates and Disbursement of Closing Consideration.

(a)    Not less than five Business Days prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging the Certificates for each eligible Company Stockholder’s portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration.

(b)    At the Effective Time, Parent shall make available the Closing Stock Per Share Amounts for the Company Stockholders. Such equity deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver irrevocable instructions to the Exchange Agent to deliver the Aggregate Stock Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in the manner it is contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article II.

(c)    Promptly following the receipt of the Parent Stockholder Approval (and in any event within five Business Days thereafter), the Exchange Agent shall mail to each Company Stockholder (other than holders of Dissenting Shares or of Excluded Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Letter of Transmittal”) which shall include provisions substantially similar to Section 6.19(b) and Section 10.1 and specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.8(g)) to the Exchange Agent; and (ii) instructions for surrendering the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.8(g)) to the Exchange Agent (the “Surrender Documentation”). Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.8(g)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of the Surrender Documentation, together with the delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, the Exchange Agent will deliver to the holder of such Certificate in exchange therefor such holder’s portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration, with any Closing Stock Per Share Amount being delivered via book-entry issuance, less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.10; provided, however, that if the holder of such Certificate delivers to the Exchange Agent the Surrender Documentation with respect to such Company Stockholder’s Certificates prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the holder of such Certificate in exchange therefor such holder’s portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration covered by such Surrender Documentation in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) of this sentence at the Effective Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter. The Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each Certificate shall represent from and after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration attributable to such Certificate. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration to be delivered upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock Transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

8

(d)    Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail, concurrently with the mailing of the Letters of Transmittal in accordance with Section 2.8(c), to each holder of any Company Options, unvested Company Restricted Stock or Company RSUs, a letter of transmittal which shall specify that the delivery of the Parent Options, Parent Restricted Stock or Parent RSUs, as applicable, shall be effected in exchange for the Company Options, unvested Company Restricted Stock and Company RSUs upon the Effective Time, such letter of transmittal and any additional materials contemplated thereby to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Stockholder Representative may reasonably agree. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a duly executed acknowledgment of such letter of transmittal from each holder of any Company Options, unvested Company Restricted Stock or Company RSUs prior to the Closing.

(e)    From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and deemed exchanged for (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.10) the portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration represented by such Certificate.

(f)    Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the Company Stockholders for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any Company Stockholder who has not theretofore complied with this Section 2.8 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their respective portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.10) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.8(g)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former Company Stockholder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirements.

(g)    In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed (i) upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed; and (ii) if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue the portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration attributable to such Certificate (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.10).

Section 2.9    Appraisal and Dissenter’s Rights.

(a)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Company Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by Company Stockholders who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights shall not be converted into, and any such Company Stockholder shall have no right to receive, any portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration unless and until such Company Stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. Any Company Stockholder who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses its rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in this Article II, of the Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Capital Stock.

9

(b)    Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

Section 2.10    Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and their respective Affiliates and agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement any amount required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local, or foreign Tax Legal Requirements; provided, that the withholding party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prompt notice of its intent to withhold (other than with respect to compensatory amounts, subject to payroll reporting and withholding, including any required withholdings in respect of Company Awards for income, employment and similar Taxes) to the Stockholder Representative, and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to establish any eligibility for an exemption from or reduction in such withholding. Such notification shall include an identification of the provisions of Tax law that the applicable withholding agent believes require such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

Section 2.11    Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation following the Merger with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, then the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub and their respective officers and directors are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Section 2.13     Tax Treatment of the Merger.

(a)     For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for purposes of any applicable state or local Tax law that follows the U.S. federal income tax treatment), the Parties will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the treatment of the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (or comparable provision of state and local Tax law) and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return, or during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, unless required to do so pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or comparable provision of state or local law, as applicable).

(b)    Parent and the Company hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). From the date hereof through the Closing, and following the Closing, the Parties shall not knowingly, and shall not knowingly permit or cause their respective Affiliates to, take any action, or fail to take any action, which action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

Section 3.1    Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Legal Requirements of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its property or the character of its activities is such as to require it to be so licensed or qualified, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Group Companies, taken as a whole. Complete and correct copies of the Organizational Documents of the Company as amended and in full force and effect as of the date hereof, have been made available to Parent or its Representatives.

Section 3.2    Company Subsidiaries.

(a)    The Company’s direct and indirect Subsidiaries, together with their jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, as applicable, are listed on Section 3.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Company Subsidiaries”). Each Company Subsidiary has been duly formed or organized and is validly existing under the Legal Requirements of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties and to conduct its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to be so formed, organized or existing, or to have such power and authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Group Companies, taken as a whole. The Company has previously provided to Parent or its Representatives true and complete copies of the Organizational Documents of each Company Subsidiary, as amended and currently in effect.

11

(b)    Each Company Subsidiary is duly licensed or qualified to do business and, where applicable, is in good standing as a foreign corporation (or other entity, if applicable) in each jurisdiction in which it is conducting business, or the operation, ownership or leasing of its property or the character of its activities is such as to require it to be so licensed or qualified, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Group Companies, taken as a whole.

(a)    The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of: (i) 1,800,000 shares of Company Common Stock, of which 553,254 shares are issued and outstanding; and (ii) 200,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which no shares are issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and have not been issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights. Each share of Company Capital Stock has been issued in compliance in all material respects with (A) applicable Legal Requirements; and (B) the Company’s Organizational Documents. Section 3.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a true and correct list of all Company Capital Stock and any other securities of the Company owned by each Company Stockholder.

Each Company Option, each share of Company Restricted Stock, and each Company RSU was validly granted or issued and properly approved by, the Company Board (or appropriate committee thereof). Each Company Option has been granted with an exercise price that is intended to be no less than the fair market value of the underlying Company Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code or Section 422 of the Code, if applicable. Each Company Option is intended to either qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code or to be exempt under Section 409A of the Code.

(c)    Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.3 or in Section 3.3(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company has not granted any stock appreciation, phantom stock, stock-based performance unit, profit participation, restricted stock, restricted stock unit or other equity-based compensation award or similar rights with respect to the Company, any outstanding options, warrants, rights or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of the Company Common Stock, or any other commitments or agreements providing for the issuance of additional shares, the sale of treasury shares, or for the repurchase or redemption of shares of Company Common Stock, and there are no agreements of any kind which may obligate the Company to issue, purchase, register for sale, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its capital stock.

12

nonassessable (where such concepts are applicable) and have not been issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights.

There are no outstanding options, warrants, rights or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock (or other equity interests) of such Company Subsidiaries, any other commitments or agreements providing for the issuance of additional shares (or other equity interests), the sale of treasury shares, or for the repurchase or redemption of such Company Subsidiaries’ shares of capital stock (or other equity interests), or any agreements of any kind which may obligate any Company Subsidiary to issue, purchase, register for sale, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its shares of capital stock (or other equity interests). Except for the equity interests of the Company Subsidiaries set forth on Section 3.3(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries owns, directly or indirectly, any ownership, equity, profits or voting interest in any Person or have any agreement or commitment to purchase any such interest, and has not agreed and is not obligated to make nor is bound by any written, oral or other Contract, binding understanding, option, warranty or undertaking of any nature, as of the date hereof or as may hereafter be in effect under which it may become obligated to make, any future investment in or capital contribution to any other entity.

The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to (a) execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party; and (b) carry out the Company’s obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Transactions (including the Merger), in each case, subject to the consents, approvals, authorizations and other requirements described in Section 3.5. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions (including the Merger) have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite action, including approval by the Company Board and, following receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Stockholders as required by the DGCL, and no other corporate proceeding on the part of the Company is necessary to authorize this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and (assuming this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Merger Sub) constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (collectively, the “Remedies Exception”).

(b)    Assuming the truth and completeness of the representations and warranties of Parent contained in this Agreement, no consent, notice, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required on the part of the Company with respect to the Company’s execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the consummation by the Company of the Transactions (including the Merger), except for (i) applicable requirements of the HSR Act or any similar foreign law; (ii) the filing of the Investment Canada Act Notification; (iii) any consents, notices, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations or filings, the absence of which would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect; (iv) compliance with any applicable requirements of the securities laws; (v) as otherwise disclosed on Section 3.5(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter; and (vi) the filing of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 3.7    ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SEC Reports; Financial Statements.

(a)    ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents, including any exhibits thereto, required to be filed or furnished by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with the SEC under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act since December 30, 2017, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date of this Agreement, the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SEC Reports”), and will have filed all such forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed subsequent to the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date (the “Additional ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SEC Reports”). All ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SEC Reports, Additional ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SEC Reports, any correspondence from or to the SEC or NYSE Amex and all certifications and statements required by (i) Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act; or (ii) 18 U.S.C. § 1350 (Section 906) of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Certifications”) are available on ▇▇▇▇▇ in full without redaction. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has heretofore furnished to Parent true and correct copies of all amendments and modifications that have not been filed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with the SEC to all agreements, documents and other instruments that previously had been filed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with the SEC and are currently in effect.

14

requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SEC Reports did not, and the Additional ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SEC Reports will not, at the time they were or are filed, as the case may be, with the SEC contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Certifications are each true and correct. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. As used in this Section 3.7, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC or NYSE Amex.

The Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods indicated in such Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material) and the omission of notes.

(c)    The consolidated financial statements and notes contained or incorporated by reference in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SEC Reports and the financial statements and notes to be contained in or to be incorporated by reference in the Additional ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SEC Reports (collectively, the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Financial Statements”) will fairly present, the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as at the respective dates of, and for the periods referred to, in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Financial Statements, all in accordance with (i) GAAP; and (ii) Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable, subject, in the case of interim ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Financial Statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material) and the omission of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SEC Reports.

Except as contemplated by this Agreement, since the Balance Sheet Date, (a) except as set forth on Section 3.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter, each of the Group Companies has conducted its business in the Ordinary Course in all material respects (aside from steps taken in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby and any conduct, practice or action taken as Pandemic Measures), and (b) there has not been any Company Material Adverse Effect and no change, event, state of facts, development or occurrence exists or has occurred which would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    The execution and delivery by each of Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, does not, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Entity, except (i) for the filing of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL; (ii) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, blue sky laws, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other jurisdictions in which Parent is qualified to do business; (iii) for the filing of any notifications required under the HSR Act and the expiration of the required waiting period thereunder; (iv) for the filing of the Investment Canada Act Notification; and (v) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, or prevent the consummation of the Merger.

Section 4.7    Parent SEC Reports and Financial Statements.

(a)    Parent has filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents, including any exhibits thereto, required to be filed or furnished by Parent with the SEC under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act since Parent’s incorporation to the date of this Agreement, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date of this Agreement, the “Parent SEC Reports”), and will have filed all such forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed subsequent to the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date (the “Additional Parent SEC Reports”). All Parent SEC Reports, Additional Parent SEC Reports, any correspondence from or to the SEC or Nasdaq (other than such correspondence in connection with the initial public offering of Parent) and all certifications and statements required by (i) Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act; or (ii) 18 U.S.C. § 1350 (Section 906) of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Parent Certifications”) are available on the SEC’s Electronic Data-Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (▇▇▇▇▇) in full without redaction. Parent has heretofore furnished to the Company true and correct copies of all amendments and modifications that have not been filed by Parent with the SEC to all agreements, documents and other instruments that previously had been filed by Parent with the SEC and are currently in effect. The Parent SEC Reports were, and the Additional Parent SEC Reports will be, prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Parent SEC Reports did not, and the Additional Parent SEC Reports will not, at the time they were or are filed, as the case may be, with the SEC contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Parent Certifications are each true and correct. Parent maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Each director and executive officer of Parent has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required with respect to Parent by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. As used in this Section 4.7, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC or Nasdaq.

(b)    The consolidated financial statements and notes contained or incorporated by reference in the Parent SEC Reports fairly present, and the financial statements and notes to be contained in or to be incorporated by reference in the Additional Parent SEC Reports will fairly present, the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Parent as at the respective dates of, and for the periods referred to, in such financial statements, all in accordance with GAAP, and Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material) and the omission of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable. Parent has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports. No financial statements other than those of Parent are required by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of Parent.

Section 4.8    Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as set forth in Parent SEC Reports filed prior to the date of this Agreement, and except as contemplated by this Agreement, since the date of Parent’s initial public offering, each of Parent and Merger Sub has conducted its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and there has not been any Parent Material Adverse Effect and no change, event, state of facts, development or occurrence exists or has occurred which would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.9    Litigation. There are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against or otherwise relating to Parent or Merger Sub, before any Governmental Entity (a) challenging or seeking to enjoining, alter or materially delay the Transactions; or (b) that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to Parent.

33

Section 4.10    Business Activities. Since their respective incorporation, none of Parent or Merger Sub has conducted any business activities other than activities (a) in connection with its organization; or (b) directed toward the accomplishment of a business combination. Except as set forth in the Parent’s Organizational Documents, there is no Contract or Order binding upon Parent or Merger Sub or to which any of them is a party which has or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of it, any acquisition of property by it or the conduct of business by it as currently conducted or as currently contemplated to be conducted (including, in each case, following the Closing).

Section 4.11    Parent Material Contracts. Section 4.11 of the Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of each “material contract” (as such term is defined in Regulation S-K of the SEC) to which Parent or Merger Sub is party (the “Parent Material Contracts”), other than any such Parent Material Contract that is listed as an exhibit to Parent’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed in connection with Parent’s initial public offering.

Section 4.12    Parent Listing. The issued and outstanding Parent Units are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “LCYAU”. The issued and outstanding shares of Parent Class A Common Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “LCY”. The issued and outstanding Parent Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “LCYAW”. Parent is a member in good standing with Nasdaq. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against Parent by Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Parent Units, the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Warrants or terminate the listing of Parent on Nasdaq. None of Parent or any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the Parent Units, the Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Warrants under the Exchange Act.

Section 4.13    PIPE Investment. Parent has entered into the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have, collectively, committed to make the PIPE Investment, subject solely to the terms and conditions thereof and expressly stated therein, and a true, accurate and complete copy of each Subscription Agreement has been provided to the Company. Except as set forth in the Subscription Agreements, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to provide the PIPE Investment or any contingencies that would permit the PIPE Investors to reduce the total amount of the PIPE Investment. There are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to the PIPE Investment to which Parent or any of its Affiliates is a party that could impose conditions to the funding of the PIPE Investment, other than those set forth in the Subscription Agreements.

(a)    As of January 22, 2021, Parent had approximately $500,086,473.96 in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), maintained and invested pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) effective as of October 8, 2020, by and between Parent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Trustee”) for the benefit of its public stockholders, with such funds invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act. Other than pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, the obligations of Parent under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding Parent’s, its Affiliates’, or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the Transactions.

34

(b)    The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and, to the Knowledge of Parent with respect to the Trustee, is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies. Parent has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder and there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default by Parent or, to the Knowledge of Parent, the Trustee. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) (i) between Parent and the Trustee that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Parent SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) to the Knowledge of Parent, that would entitle any Person (other than stockholders of Parent holding Parent Class A Common Stock sold in Parent’s initial public offering who shall have elected to redeem their shares of Parent Class A Common Stock pursuant to Parent’s Organizational Documents) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except (A) to pay income and franchise Taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) to redeem Parent Class A Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Parent’s Organizational Documents.

Neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any Liability for the Taxes of another Person (other than Parent or Merger Sub) pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax law) or as a transferee or a successor or as a result of a contractual obligation to indemnify any Person.

(i)    There are no Tax sharing, allocation, indemnification or similar agreements in effect as between Parent, Merger Sub or any predecessor or Affiliate thereof and any other Person under which Parent, the Company or any Company Subsidiary could be liable for any material Taxes or other claims of any Person (other than (i) any customary commercial agreement entered into in the ordinary course and not primarily concerning Taxes or (ii) any agreement solely among Parent and Merger Sub).

(j)    During the two-year period ending on the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub was a distributing corporation or a controlled corporation in a transaction intended to be governed by Section 355 of the Code.

Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement to comply with applicable Legal Requirements, including the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Transactions. Parent also agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “blue sky” permits and approvals and make all filings required to carry out the Transactions; provided, that Parent shall not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified. The Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning the Company, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries and any of their respective members or stockholders as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. Each of Parent and the Company agrees to furnish to the other all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, officers, directors, managers, stockholders, and other equityholders and information regarding such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable or as may be reasonably requested in connection with the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement, any Current Report on Form 8-K filed or furnished in connection with the Transactions, or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries to any regulatory authority (including Nasdaq) in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the “Offer Documents”).

Parent shall not file any such documents with the SEC without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). To the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirement, Parent shall provide the Company and their counsel with (A) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that Parent or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement or Offer Documents promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (B) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response of Parent to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good-faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with the Company or its counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC.

(iii)    Each of Parent and the Company shall ensure that none of the information supplied by it or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (A) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC, at each time at which it is amended and at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading or (B) the Proxy Statement will, at the date it is first mailed to the holders of Parent Common Stock and at the time of the Special Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(iv)    If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors or officers is discovered by

44

the Company or Parent, which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement so that the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirement, disseminated to the holders of Parent Common Stock.

(v)    The Registration Statement, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, also will register the resale of the shares of Parent Common Stock that constitute the Aggregate Stock Consideration, other than certain equity securities issuable under the New Parent Incentive Equity Plan that are based on Parent Common Stock and constitute a portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration, which shall instead be registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other applicable form, including Form S-1 or Form S-3) in accordance with this Section 6.1(a).

(b)    Special Meeting. Parent shall, as promptly as practicable following the date the Registration Statement is declared effective, (i) cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the holders of Parent Common Stock in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, (ii) duly call and give notice of a meeting of Parent’s stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) for a date that is as soon as practicable following the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective, for the purposes of obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval and, if applicable, any approvals related thereto and providing its stockholders with the opportunity to elect to redeem shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (the “Parent Stockholder Redemption”) in accordance with Parent’s Organizational Documents. Parent shall, through the Parent Board, recommend to the holders of Parent Common Stock (the “Parent Recommendation”): (1) the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Transactions; (2) the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger; (3) the approval of the Parent Third A&R Certificate of Incorporation (as the same may be subsequently amended by mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement); (4) the approval of the adoption of the New Parent Incentive Equity Plan; (5) election of directors to the Parent Board; and (6) any other proposals the Parties deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions (clauses (1) through (6), collectively, the “Parent Stockholder Matters”). Without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative and the Company (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Parent Stockholder Matters shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which Parent shall propose to be acted on by the holders of Parent Common Stock at the Special Meeting. Parent shall include the Parent Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. The Parent Board shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Parent Recommendation (a “Change in Recommendation”); provided, that the Parent Board may make a Change in Recommendation if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would constitute a breach of the Parent Board’s fiduciary obligations to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements. Parent agrees that its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting for the purpose of seeking approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters shall not be affected by any Change in Recommendation, and Parent agrees to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting and submit for the approval of its stockholders the matters contemplated by the Proxy Statement as contemplated by this Section 6.1(b), regardless of whether or not there shall have occurred any Change in Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that the Parent Board has determined in good faith is required by applicable Legal Requirements is disclosed to Parent’s stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Parent’s stockholders

45

prior to the Special Meeting; (B) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient shares of Parent Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Special Meeting; or (C) in order to solicit additional proxies from stockholders for purposes of obtaining approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters; provided, that in the event of a postponement or adjournment pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, the Special Meeting shall be reconvened as promptly as practicable following such time as the matters described in such clauses have been resolved.

Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each pay 50% of any filing fees required by any Governmental Entities, including with respect to any registrations, declarations and filings required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Transactions, including filing fees in connection with filings under the HSR Act.

(a)    Parent and the Company acknowledge that they are parties to the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Following Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be superseded in its entirety by the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that if for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Beginning on the date hereof and ending 18 months following the date of this Agreement (but perpetually with respect to any trade secrets), each Party (the “Receiving Party”) agrees to maintain in confidence any non-public information received from each other Party (the “Disclosing Party”), and to use such non-public information only for purposes of consummating the Transactions.

(c)    The Company will afford Parent and its financial advisors, accountants, counsel and other Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice, to the properties, books, records and personnel of the Group Companies during the period prior to the Closing to obtain all information concerning the business, including the status of business development efforts, properties, results of operations and personnel of the Group Companies, as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the Transactions; provided, however, that (i) any such access shall be conducted in a manner not to unreasonably interfere with the businesses or operations of the Company, and (ii) the Company may, in its reasonable discretion, require Parent and its Representatives to comply with any applicable Legal Requirements or Company policies regarding access to such personnel and Company

47

premises in connection with COVID-19 or any Pandemic Measures, including, if the Company determines in its reasonable judgment to be necessary or desirable, providing such access solely via videoconference or other electronic means. Parent will afford the Company and its financial advisors, underwriters, accountants, counsel and other Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books, records and personnel of Parent during the period prior to the Closing to obtain all information concerning the business, including properties, results of operations and personnel of Parent, as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted in a manner not to unreasonably interfere with the businesses or operations of Parent.

Section 6.5    Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a)    Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and subject to applicable Legal Requirements, each of the Parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other Transactions, including using their reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII to be satisfied, (ii) obtain all necessary actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities and third parties, including any consents, approvals or waivers from third parties referred to on Section 6.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, (iii) make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities, if any), (iv) defend any Legal Proceeding challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed, and (v) execute or deliver any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate, and fully carry out the purposes of, the Transactions.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to require any Party or any of their respective Affiliates to agree to any divestiture by itself or any of its Affiliates of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property, the imposition of any limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their business or to own or exercise control of their respective assets, properties and capital stock, or the incurrence of any liability or expense.

(c)    From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing and the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each notify the other in writing promptly after learning of any stockholder demands or other stockholder Legal Proceedings (including derivative claims) relating to this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any matters relating thereto other than any appraisal claims contemplated by Section 2.9 (collectively, the “Transaction Litigation”) commenced against, in the case of Parent or Merger Sub, any of Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives (in their capacity as a representative of Parent or Merger Sub) or, in the case of the Company, any Group Company or any of their respective Representatives (in their capacity as a representative of a Group Company). Parent and the Company shall each (i) keep the other reasonably informed regarding any Transaction Litigation, (ii) give the other the opportunity to, at its own cost and expense, participate in the defense, settlement and compromise of any such Transaction Litigation and reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with the defense, settlement and compromise of any such Transaction Litigation and (iii) consider in good faith the other’s advice with respect to any such Transaction Litigation; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub, on one hand, or the Company, any other Group Company, on the other hand, or, in any case, any of their respective Representatives settle or compromise any Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of the Company or Parent, as the case may be.

Section 6.6    [Reserved.]

Section 6.7    No Parent Securities Transactions. Neither the Company nor any of its controlled Affiliates, directly or indirectly, shall engage in any transactions involving the securities of Parent prior to the time of the making of a public announcement regarding all of the material terms of the business and operations of the Company and the Transactions. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to require each of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, contractors, associates, clients, customers and Representatives, to comply with the foregoing requirement.

Section 6.8    No Claim Against Trust Account. Each of the Company and the Stockholder Representative acknowledge that Parent has established the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of its initial public offering, for the benefit of its public stockholders. For and in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the Stockholder Representative, each for itself and its respective Affiliates it has the authority to bind, hereby agrees it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to (i) the holders of Parent Class B Common Stock upon the Parent Stockholder Redemption and (ii) the underwriters of Parent’s initial public offering in respect of their deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account, in each case as set forth in the Trust Agreement (collectively, the “Trust Distributions”)), and hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to the Trust Account (including the Trust Distributions) and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom (including the Trust Distributions) for any reason whatsoever. The Company agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Parent to induce Parent to enter in this Agreement, and the Company further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Company and each of their respective Affiliates that it has the authority to bind under applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent the Company or any of its Affiliates that it has the authority to bind commences any Legal Proceeding against Parent or any of its Affiliates based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Parent, its Affiliates or its Representatives, which Legal Proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Parent, its Affiliates or its Representatives, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that each of the Company’s and such Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against assets of Parent or such Affiliate or Representatives not in the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Company or such Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including the Trust Distributions) or any amounts contained in the Trust Account while in the Trust Account.

Section 6.9    Disclosure of Certain Matters. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Stockholder Representative will promptly provide the other Parties with prompt written notice of any event, development or condition of which they have Knowledge, that (a) is reasonably likely to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VII not to be satisfied; or (b) would require any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement.

Section 6.10    Securities Listing. Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in connection with the Transactions to be approved for listing on Nasdaq at Closing.

If either Party or its Representatives receives an inquiry, proposal, offer or submission with respect to a Company Business Combination or Parent Business Combination, as applicable, such Party shall provide the other Parties with a copy of such inquiry, proposal, offer or submission (and in the case of Parent’s receipt, Parent shall also provide copies to the Stockholder Representative).

Section 6.12    Trust Account. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) and provision of notice thereof to the Trustee (which notice Parent shall provide to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement) (a) in accordance with and pursuant to the Trust Agreement and Parent’s Organizational Documents, at the Closing, Parent

50

(i) shall cause the documents, opinions and notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered; and (ii) shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to, distribute the Trust Account, including all amounts payable (A) to holders of Parent Common Stock who participate in the Parent Stockholder Redemption; (B) for income Tax or other Tax obligations of Parent prior to Closing; (C) for any Parent Transaction Costs; (D) as repayment of loans and reimbursement of expenses to directors, officers and stockholders of Parent; and (E) all amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.5; and (b) thereafter, the Trust Account shall terminate, except as otherwise provided therein.

Section 6.13    Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance.

(a)    Parent agrees that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers, as the case may be, of any Group Company (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, a “D&O Indemnified Party”), as provided in their respective Organizational Documents or in any indemnification agreement with any Group Company set forth on Section 6.13(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six years from the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Group Companies to maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of such Group Company’s Organizational Documents as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date or in any indemnification agreements of each Group Company with any D&O Indemnified Party as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, and Parent shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Party; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Legal Proceedings pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Legal Proceeding or resolution of such claim. From and after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Group Companies to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.13 without limit as to time.

(b)    Prior to the Closing, the Company shall purchase a “tail” or “runoff” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (the “D&O Tail”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such Person that is a director or officer of a Group Company currently covered by a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies of one or more Group Companies on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement for the six-year period following the Closing. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain the D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Group Companies, as applicable, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for such insurance pursuant to this Section 6.13(b).

(c)    The rights of each D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such person may have under the Organizational Documents of any Group Company, any other indemnification arrangement, any applicable Legal Requirement or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Group Companies under this Section 6.13 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 6.13 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 6.13.

(d)    If Parent or, after the Closing, any Group Company, or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or such Group Company, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.13.

51

Section 6.14    New Parent Incentive Equity Plan. Prior to the effectiveness of the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement, the Parent Board shall approve and adopt, subject to obtaining the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters, an equity incentive plan, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G and with any changes or modifications thereto as the Company and Parent may mutually agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the “New Parent Incentive Equity Plan”), in the manner prescribed under applicable Legal Requirements, effective as of one day prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.15    280G Approval. To the extent that any “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) has the right to receive any payments or benefits that would be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), then, the Company will (a) no later than five days prior to the Closing Date, solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each such “disqualified individual” a waiver of such disqualified individual’s rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) so that any remaining payments and/or benefits shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder); and (b) no later than two days prior to the Closing Date, with respect to each individual who agrees to the waiver described in clause (a), submit to a vote of holders of the equity interests of the Company entitled to vote on such matters, in the manner required under Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, along with adequate disclosure intended to satisfy such requirements (including Q&A 7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such regulations), the right of any such “disqualified individual” to receive the Waived 280G Benefits. Prior to, and in no event later than three days prior to soliciting such waivers and approval, the Company shall provide drafts of such waivers and approval materials to Parent for its reasonable review and comment, and the Company shall consider in good faith any such comments. No later than three days prior to soliciting the waivers, the Company shall provide Parent with the calculations and related documentation to determine whether and to what extent the vote described in this Section 6.15 is necessary in order to avoid the imposition of Taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence that a vote of the stockholders of the Company was solicited in accordance with the foregoing and shall inform Parent whether the requisite number of votes of the stockholders of the Company was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits or that the vote did not pass and the Waived 280G Benefits will not be paid or retained.

Section 6.16    Tax Matters.

(a)    Each Group Company shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it that are due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions), and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions). Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by law). Unless it would be unreasonable for Parent to withhold, condition or delay the written consent contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the Company shall cause each income and other material Tax Return (i) to be provided to Parent for review and comment as soon as reasonably practicable before the due date of each such Tax Return and (ii) to not be filed without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Parent shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and

52

timely filed, any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Transfer Taxes; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative will reasonably cooperate with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Transfer Taxes shall not include any taxes on or determined with respect to net income.

(c)    On the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with a certificate on behalf of the Company, prepared in a manner consistent and in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.897-2(g), (h) and 1.1445-2(c)(3), certifying that no interest in the Company is, or has been during the relevant period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code, a “United States real property interest” within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code, and a form of notice to the Internal Revenue Service prepared in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2) (together, a “FIRPTA Certificate”), except that the sole recourse for Parent if this condition is not met is to withhold on the proceeds payable to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements.

(a)    The Company shall terminate, or cause there to be terminated, any and all tax sharing, allocation, indemnification or similar agreements, arrangements or undertakings in effect, written or unwritten, on the Closing Date as between the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any other Person, on the other hand, for all Taxes, regardless of the period in which such Taxes are imposed, and there shall be no continuing obligation to make any payments under any such agreements, arrangements or undertakings.

Section 6.17    Financing.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to Closing, Parent shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the proceeds of the PIPE Investment on the terms and conditions described in the Subscription Agreements, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) satisfy (or, if deemed advisable by Parent, obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions in the Subscription Agreements that are within its control (including payment of all fees and expenses) and comply with its obligations thereunder, (ii) maintain in effect the Subscription Agreements in accordance with their terms and (iii) diligently enforce all of its rights under the Subscription Agreements (and any definitive agreements related thereto), including to commence or pursue litigation for the purposes of enforcing the obligations of the PIPE Investors to fund the PIPE Investment.

(b)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to Closing, the Company shall cause ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter (subject to any “market flex” provisions contained in the Debt Fee Letter), including using reasonable best efforts to (i) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Debt Agreements”) consistent with the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter that are within its control and comply with its obligations thereunder, (iii) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter and Debt Fee Letter in accordance with

(c)    The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any material breach by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter of which the Company has become aware or any termination (or alleged or purported termination in writing) of the Debt Commitment Letter. The Company shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing and shall not permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter entered into at or prior to the date hereof if such amendment, modification, waiver or remedy (i) would materially delay the occurrence of the Closing, (ii) reduces the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing, or (iii) adds or imposes new conditions or amends the existing conditions to the drawdown of the Debt Financing, in each case, in any material respect.

(d)    Prior to the earlier of the Closing and the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, Parent and Merger Sub agree, and Parent and Merger Sub shall cause its appropriate officers and employees, to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (including the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter that are within its control) as may be reasonably requested by the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, including by (i) participating in (including making appropriate officers available for) a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies at mutually agreeable times and locations and upon reasonable advance notice, (ii) assisting with the preparation of customary marketing materials, rating agency presentations and offering documents (including a public side version), (iii) executing and delivering customary management authorization letters and confirmations to the Debt Financing Sources authorizing the distributions of information to prospective lenders and containing customary representations to the Debt Financing Sources in connection with the marketing of the Debt Financing, (iv) furnishing the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date (to the extent requested at least ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date), with all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act, (v) cooperating reasonably with the Debt Financing Sources’ due diligence, to the extent customary and reasonable and (vi) reasonably cooperating with the marketing and syndication efforts of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Debt Financing Sources.

54

commitment or other similar fee or incur any other Liability or obligation in connection with the PIPE Investment prior to the Closing, (C) no Group Company nor any of their respective officers, directors, or employees shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the PIPE Investment that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing (other than any customary management representation and authorization letter in connection with marketing materials contemplated by the Financing) and (D) Persons who are on the board of directors or the board of managers (or similar governing body) of any Group Company prior to the Closing in their capacity as such shall not be required to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the PIPE Investment. Nothing contained in this Section 6.17 or otherwise shall require any Group Company, prior to the Closing, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the PIPE Investment.

(f)    None of the Stockholder Representative, the Group Companies, their Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives shall be required to take any action that would subject such Person to actual or potential liability, to bear any cost or expense or to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment or incur any other liability or provide or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the PIPE Investment or their performance of their respective obligations in connection with the PIPE Investment under this Section 6.17 or any information utilized in connection therewith. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative, the Group Companies, their Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Loss suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the PIPE Investment and the performance of their respective obligations in connection with the PIPE Investment under this Section 6.17 and any information utilized in connection therewith, for any of the foregoing except to the extent the same is the result of (i) claims based upon the accuracy of any historical information provided by or on behalf of the Stockholder Representative, any Group Company or their respective Affiliates and Representatives expressly for use in connection with the arrangement of the PIPE Investment or (ii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud committed by or on behalf of the Stockholder Representative, any Group Company or their respective Affiliates and Representatives.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Parent prior to the Closing executed payoff letters with respect to Existing Credit Agreements (each, a “Payoff Letter”) in form and substance customary for transactions of this type, from the applicable agents on behalf of the persons to whom such Indebtedness is owed, which Payoff Letters together with any related release documentation shall, among other things, include the payoff amount and provide that Liens (and guarantees), if any, granted in connection with the Existing Credit Agreements relating to the assets, rights and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries securing or relating to such Indebtedness, shall, upon the payment of the amount set forth in the applicable Payoff Letter at or prior to the Effective Time, be released and terminated. The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 6.17(g) shall be subject to Parent or Merger Sub providing or causing to be provided all funds required to effect all such repayments at or prior to the Effective Time; provided that, no such repayment shall be required to be made prior to the Effective Time.

payment or incur any other liability or provide or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Debt Financing or their performance of their respective obligations in connection with the Debt Financing under this Section 6.17 or any information utilized in connection therewith. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent, Merger Sub, their Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Loss suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and the performance of their respective obligations in connection with the Debt Financing under this Section 6.17 and any information utilized in connection therewith, for any of the foregoing except to the extent the same is the result of (i) claims based upon the accuracy of any historical information provided by or on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates and Representatives expressly for use in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing or (ii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud committed by or on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates and Representatives.

(b)    Effective upon and following the Closing, each Company Stockholder, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Affiliates and Representatives, generally, irrevocably, unconditionally and completely releases and forever discharges each of Parent and each Group Company, their respective Affiliates, and its and their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Parent Released Parties”) from all disputes, claims, losses, controversies, demands, rights, Liabilities, actions and causes of action of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, arising from any matter concerning any Group Company occurring prior to the Closing Date (other than as contemplated by this Agreement, including with respect to Section 6.13, or the other Transaction Documents); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.19 shall release the Parent Released Parties from their obligations (i) under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or (ii) with respect to any salary, bonuses, vacation pay or employee benefits accrued pursuant to a Company Benefit Plan in effect as of the date of this Agreement or any expense reimbursement pursuant to a policy of the Group Companies in effect as of the date of this Agreement accrued in the Ordinary Course.

ARTICLE X

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 10.1    Stockholder Representative.

(a)    The Stockholder Representative shall act as the Representative of the Company Stockholders in respect of all matters arising under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, and shall be authorized to act, or refrain from acting, with respect to any actions to be taken by or on behalf of any Company Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative, including to enforce any rights granted to any Company Stockholder hereunder, in each case as the Stockholder Representative believes is necessary or appropriate under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, for and on behalf of the Company

60

Stockholders. The Company Stockholders shall be bound by all such actions taken by the Stockholder Representative and no Company Stockholder shall be permitted to take any such actions. The Stockholder Representative is serving as the Stockholder Representative solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable (except in its capacity as a Company Stockholder hereunder) for any of the obligations of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of Company Stockholders hereunder, and Parent (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) agrees that it will not look to the Stockholder Representative or the underlying assets of the Stockholder Representative for the satisfaction of any obligations of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Company Stockholders. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken, in connection with the performance by the Stockholder Representative of the Stockholder Representative’s duties or the exercise by the Stockholder Representative of the Stockholder Representative’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, except in the case of its bad faith or willful misconduct. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. The Stockholder Representative shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have the full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof on behalf of all Company Stockholders and their respective successors. Parent shall be entitled to rely on all statements, representations, decisions of, and actions taken or omitted to be taken by, the Stockholder Representative relating to this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

(b)    The Company Stockholders will indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Document, in each case as such Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Company Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company Stockholders for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including fees and disbursements of its counsel, experts and other agents and consultants) incurred by the Stockholder Representative in such capacity. In the event that the Stockholder Representative determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the funds paid to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.12 or otherwise exceed the Stockholder Representative Expenses, the Stockholder Representative shall pay such excess amount pro rata to the Company Stockholders, as an addition to such portions of the Purchase Price received by Company Stockholders; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall such excess amount become payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Stockholders or otherwise. The Company Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative and the termination of this Agreement.

(c)    The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ notice to Parent and the Company Stockholders; provided, however, in the event of the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative, a new Stockholder Representative (who shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent) shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Company Stockholders who held of a majority of the Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Delivery by electronic transmission to counsel for the other Parties of a counterpart executed by a Party, including by electronic signature, shall be deemed to meet the requirements of the previous sentence.

63

Section 10.5    Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other documents and instruments and agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto (a) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies, other than (i) the rights, at and after the Effective Time, of Persons pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.13 and Section 10.14 (which will be for the benefit of the Persons set forth therein) and (ii) the rights of the Debt Financing Sources, each of whom (x) is an express third-party beneficiary of Section 10.7, Section 10.8, Section 10.9, Section 10.12, Section 10.13, Section 10.14(b) and this Section 10.5(b) to the extent such sections affect the rights and obligations of the Debt Financing Sources and (y) shall be entitled to enforce such provisions and rely thereon.

Section 10.7    Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, prior to the Closing, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction and immediate injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each Party hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by any other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to bring an action for specific enforcement to cause Parent to seek to enforce the provisions of the Subscription Agreements to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to such Subscription Agreements as if it were a party thereto.

ARTICLE II

REGISTRATIONS

2.1. Shelf Registration.

2.1.1. Initial Filing. The Company shall, as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act to permit the public resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders and all shares of Common Stock received by then current or former employees of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to the Transactions from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) on the terms and conditions specified in this subsection 2.1.1 and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the filing deadline (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to ninety (90) days after the filing deadline if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the Commission. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall be on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on Form S-1 or such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of such Registrable Securities, covering such Registrable Securities, and shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement. A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. As soon as practicable following the effective date of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1, but in any event within one (1) business day of such date, the Company shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. When effective, a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made).

2.1.2. Form S-1 Shelf. If the Company files a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (a “Form S-3 Shelf”) and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a shelf registration on Form S-1 (a “Form S-1 Shelf”) as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement that is a Form S-3 Shelf and have the Form S-1 Shelf declared effective as promptly as

101

practicable and to cause such Form S-1 Shelf to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. In the case of a Form S-1 filed pursuant to Section 2.1.1 or a Form S-1 Shelf filed pursuant to this Section 2.1.2, upon such date as the Company becomes eligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales or, in the case of a Form S-1 Shelf filed to register the resale of Removed Shares pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, upon such date as the Company becomes eligible to register all of the Removed Shares for resale on a Form S-3 Shelf pursuant to the Commission Guidance and, if applicable, without a requirement that any of the CCMP Holders be named as an “underwriter” therein, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Form S-3 Shelf as promptly as practicable to replace the applicable Form S-1 Shelf and have the Form S-3 Shelf declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such Form S-3 Shelf to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities thereunder held by the applicable Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

2.1.3. Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by subsection 2.1.1 or 2.1.2 or any replacement thereof, by notice to the Company specifying the intended method or methods of disposition thereof any CCMP Holder or any Sponsor or Oak Hill Holder (as applicable, the “Shelf Requesting Holder”) may make a written request to the Company to effect a public offering (a “Shelf Take Down Notice”), (provided that any request for an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to such shelf registration statement (including a Block Trade) (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”) by any Sponsor or Oak Hill Holder is subject to and only to the extent provided by Section 2.4), of all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities that may be registered under such shelf registration statement, and as soon as practicable the Company shall amend or supplement such shelf registration statement as necessary for such purpose. Each Shelf Takedown Notice for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and a reasonably estimated approximate price range (net of reasonably estimated underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Promptly upon receipt of a Shelf Takedown Notice (but in no event more than two (2) business days thereafter (or more than twenty-four (24) hours thereafter in connection with a Block Trade)), the Company shall give written notice of such requested Shelf Underwritten Offering to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.4, shall include in such Shelf Underwritten Offering such Registrable Securities requested to be included by each such Holder, up to such number of Registrable Securities equal to such Holder’s pro rata share determined based on the number of Registrable Securities that the Shelf Requesting Holder proposes to sell in such Shelf Underwritten Offering as compared to the number of outstanding Registrable Securities held by the Shelf Requesting Holder immediately prior to such Shelf Underwritten Offering, within five (5) days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice, or, in the case of a Block Trade, within twenty-four (24) hours after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice and otherwise as provided in Section 2.1.4. The Company shall enter into an

102

underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the Shelf Requesting Holder, after reasonable consultation with the Company, and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering contemplated by this subsection 2.1.3, subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations as are customary in secondary underwritten offerings. Notwithstanding the delivery of any Shelf Take Down Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Shelf Underwritten Offering and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any Shelf Underwritten Offering contemplated by this Section 2.1.3, shall be determined by the Shelf Requesting Holder. At any time before the pricing of a Shelf Underwritten Offering, in accordance with Section 2.2.5, the Shelf Requesting Holder may withdraw its Shelf Take Down Notice and, upon receipt of written notice to such effect from the Shelf Requesting Holder, the Company shall cease all efforts to complete such Underwritten Offering.

2.1.4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Section 3.4 and not in limitation of any other provision in this Article II applicable to Shelf Underwritten Offerings, if any Holder desires to effect a Block Trade, then notwithstanding any other time periods in this Article II, such Holder shall provide written notice to the Company at least three (3) business days prior to the date such Block Trade will commence. As expeditiously as possible, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Block Trade. Such Holder shall use its reasonable best efforts to work with the Company and the Underwriters (including by disclosing the maximum number of Registrable Securities proposed to be the subject of such Block Trade) in order to facilitate preparation of the Registration Statement, Prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade and any related due diligence and comfort procedures. In the event of a Block Trade, and after consultation with the Company and subject to subsection 2.2.4, the Holder initiating the Block Trade shall determine the maximum number of Registrable Securities that can be sold pursuant to such offering, the underwriter or underwriters and share price of such offering.

2.2. Demand Registration.

2.2.1. Request for Registration. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.5 and Sections 2.4, 2.6 and 3.4 hereof, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date, each of (a) the Sponsors, (b) the CCMP Holders (the “CCMP Demanding Holders”), and (c) the Oak Hill Holders (the “Oak Hill Demanding Holders”, and together with the Sponsors and the CCMP Demanding Holders, the “Demanding Holders”), may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities on (i) Form S-1 or (ii) if available, Form S-3, which in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), may be a shelf registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand a “Demand Registration”). The Company shall, promptly following the Company’s receipt of a Demand Registration (but in no event more than two (2) business days thereafter), notify, in writing all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each

103

Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes any portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within three (3) business days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Each Requesting Holder shall be permitted to include up to such number of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration equal to such Requesting Holder’s pro rata share determined based on the number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holder proposes to sell in such Demand Registration as compared to the number of outstanding Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder immediately prior to such Demand Registration. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a Requesting Holder also separately possesses Demand Registration rights pursuant to this Section 2.2, but is not the Holder who exercises such Demand Registration rights, the exercise by such Requesting Holder of its rights pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not count as the exercise by it of one of its Demand Registration rights. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, subject to subsection 2.2.4 below, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their pro rata portion of Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and up to the pro rata portion of Registrable Securities requested by the Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than (A) an aggregate of six (6) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration initiated by the CCMP Holders, and (B) one (1) Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration initiated by the Oak Hill Holders and the Sponsors, in each case under this subsection 2.2.1 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided, however, that (i) a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration Statement that may be available at such time has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities entitled to be included by the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders in such Registration have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement, and (ii) a Shelf Underwritten Offering effected by a Block Trade shall not be a Demand Registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jefferies may not exercise its Demand Registration rights after October 8, 2025, and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion.

2.2.2. Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.2.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (a) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (b) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency, the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue

104

with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days after the removal, rescission or other termination of such stop order or injunction, of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration by the same Demanding Holder becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.

2.2.3. Underwritten Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.4 and Sections 2.4, 2.6 and 3.4 hereof, if the Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder (if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.3, subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Company and the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration(which Underwriter(s) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) which underwriting agreement shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations customary in secondary Underwritten Offerings.

2.2.4. Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If a Demand Registration is to be an Underwritten Offering (including any Shelf Underwritten Offering) and the managing Underwriter or Underwriters (or, in the case of a Block Trade, the Holder(s) requesting a Shelf Underwritten Offering or the Demanding Holder(s), as applicable), in good faith, advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account (the “Primary Shares”) and the Common Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders of the Company who desire to sell (the “Other Shares”), exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in such Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (a) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders, Shelf Requesting Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any), as applicable, pro rata based on the total amount of Registrable Securities held by each such Demanding Holder, Shelf Requesting Holder, or Requesting Holder (if any), as applicable, at such time of determination (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the Primary Shares which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the Registrable Securities of the Sponsors; and (d) fourth, to the extent the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), the Other Shares that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration or a Shelf Underwritten Offering prior to and including its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.5.

2.3. Piggyback Registration.

2.3.1. Piggyback Rights. If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company, other than a Registration Statement (a) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (b) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (c) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (d) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (e) filed pursuant to subsection 2.1.1, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all Holders then holding Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than five (5) business days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (i) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution (including whether such registration will be pursuant to a shelf registration statement), and the proposed price and name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, (ii) such Holders’ rights under this Section 2.3 and (iii) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within three (3) business days after receipt of such written notice (or in the case of a Block Trade, within twenty-four (24) hours thereafter) (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities identified in a Holder’s response notice described in the foregoing sentence to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering, if any, to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection

106

2.3.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company or Company stockholder(s) for whose account the Registration Statement is to be filed included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.3.1, subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company or Company stockholder(s) for whose account the Registration Statement is to be filed. For purposes of this Section 2.3, the filing by the Company of an automatic shelf registration statement for offerings pursuant to Rule 415(a) that omits information with respect to any specific offering pursuant to Rule 430B shall not trigger any notification or participation rights hereunder until such time as the Company amends or supplements such Registration Statement to include information with respect to a specific offering of Securities (and such amendment or supplement shall trigger the notice and participation rights provided for in this Section 2.3).

2.3.2. Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If a Piggyback Registration is to be an Underwritten Offering and the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that, in its opinion, the dollar amount or number of Primary Shares that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (a) the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (b) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant Section 2.3 hereof, and (c) the Other Shares, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

2.3.2.1. if the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (a) first, the Primary Shares, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.3.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the Other Shares which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

2.3.2.2. if the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (a) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.3.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the Primary Shares which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (d) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), the Other Shares which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

107

2.3.3. Piggyback Registration Withdrawal.

The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to and including its withdrawal under this subsection 2.3.3.

2.3.4. Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.2 hereof and shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2.

2.4. Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (a) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (b) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (c) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve (12)-month period (the “Aggregate Blocking Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Oak Hill Holders and each Sponsor shall be able to either (and not both) (i) make one (1) demand request under, and subject to the terms and procedures set forth in Section 2.2, or (ii) initiate one (1) Shelf Underwritten Offering under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.1 (in each case in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3).

108

2.5. Rule 415; Removal. If at any time the Commission takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed pursuant to this Section 2 is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act (provided, however, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the Commission Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09) or requires a CCMP Holder to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall (i) promptly notify each holder of Registrable Securities thereof (or in the case of the Commission requiring a CCMP Holder to be named as an “underwriter,” the CCMP Holders) and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the CCMP Holders is an “underwriter.” The Holders shall have the right to select one (1) legal counsel designated by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities subject to such Registration Statement to review and oversee any registration or matters pursuant to this Section 2.5, including participation in any meetings or discussions with the Commission regarding the Commission’s position and to comment on any written submission made to the Commission with respect thereto. No such written submission with respect to this matter shall be made to the Commission to which the applicable Holders’ counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2.5, the Commission refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Removed Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the Commission may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415; provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any CCMP Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such CCMP Holder. In the event of a share removal pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Company shall give the applicable Holders at least three (3) business days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. Any removal of shares of the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall first be applied to Holders other than the CCMP Holders with securities registered for resale under the applicable Registration Statement and thereafter allocated between the CCMP Holders on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by the CCMP Holders. In the event of a share removal of the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Company shall promptly register the resale of any Removed Shares pursuant to subsection 2.1.2 hereof and in no event shall the filing of such Registration Statement on Form S-1 or subsequent Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed pursuant to the terms of subsection 2.1.2 be counted as a Demand Registration hereunder. Until such time as the Company has registered all of the Removed Shares for resale pursuant to Rule 415 on an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall not be able to defer the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.

2.6. Lock-Up Agreements.

2.6.1. Each Sponsor agrees that it shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period and will not transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants), until the expiration of the Private Placement Warrants Lock-Up Period. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to Permitted Transfers or Transfers made by a Permitted Transferee.

109

2.6.2. Each Hillman Holder agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any shares of Closing ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock for six (6) months following the Closing Date (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lock-Up Period”); provided, (x) that 33% of the Closing ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock shall be transferable as part of an Underwritten Offering following 90 days after the Closing Date if the last closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period after the Closing, and (y) each executive officer and director of the Company shall be permitted to establish a plan to acquire and sell shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, provided that such plan does not provide for the Transfer of shares of Closing ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock during the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lock-up Period. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to Permitted Transfers or Transfers made by a Permitted Transferee.

2.6.3. Each Holder agrees, and the Company agrees and shall cause each director and officer of the Company to agree, that, in connection with each Registration or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 conducted as an Underwritten Offering, if requested, to become bound by and to execute and deliver a customary lock-up agreement with the Underwriter(s) of such Underwritten Offering restricting such applicable person or entity’s right to (a) Transfer, directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company held by such person or entity or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities during the period commencing on the date of the final Prospectus relating to the Underwritten Offering and ending on the date specified by the Underwriters (such period not to exceed ninety (90) days). The terms of such lock-up agreements shall be negotiated among the applicable Holder requested to enter into lock-up agreements in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Company and the Underwriters and shall include customary exclusions from the restrictions on Transfer set forth therein, including that such restrictions on the applicable Holder shall be conditioned upon all officers and directors of the Company, as well as all Holders, being subject to the same restrictions; provided, that, to the extent any Holder is granted a release or waiver from the restrictions contained in this Section 2.6.3 and in such Holder’s lock-up agreement prior to the expiration of the period set forth in such Holder’s lock-up agreement, then all Holders shall be automatically granted a release or waiver from the restrictions contained in this Section 2.6.3 and the applicable lock-up agreements to which they are party to the same extent, on substantially the same terms as and on a pro rata basis with, the Holder to which such release or waiver is granted. The provisions of this Section 2.6.3 shall not apply to any Holder that holds less than one percent (1%) of then total issued and outstanding Common Stock.

3.1.8. advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of any written comments by the Commission or any request by the Commission that the Company amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus or the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or Prospectus the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus or prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued, as applicable;

3.1.11. notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event or the existence of any condition as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, or in the opinion of counsel for the Company it is necessary to supplement or amend such Prospectus to comply with law, and

112

then to correct such Misstatement or include such information as is necessary to comply with law, in each case as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof, at the request of any such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such Prospectus shall not include a Misstatement or such Prospectus, as supplemented or amended, shall comply with law;

3.1.12. permit a representative of the Holders (such representative to be selected by a majority of the participating Holders), the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate in the preparation of any Registration Statement, each such Prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment or supplement thereto, and will give each of them such access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business, finances and accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with its officers, directors and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders’ and such Underwriters’ respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, and will cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that if requested by the Company, such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information; and provided, further, the Company may not include the name of any Holder or Underwriter or any information regarding any Holder or Underwriter in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any response to any comment letter, without the prior written consent of such Holder or Underwriter and providing each such Holder or Underwriter a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on such applicable document, which comments the Company shall include unless contrary to applicable law;

3.1.13. obtain a “cold comfort” letter (including a bring-down letter dated as of the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration) from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering which the participating Holders may rely on (if requested by a participating Holder), in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to the participating Holders and any Underwriter;

3.1.14. on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion and negative assurance letter, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to the participating Holders and any Underwriter;

113

3.1.15. in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement and a “lock up” agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;

3.1.16. otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and to make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

3.1.17. make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations or meetings with potential investors that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.18. otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, including causing the officers and directors of the Company to enter into customary “lock-up agreements,” in connection with such Registration.

3.2. Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3. Participation in Underwritten Offerings.

3.3.1. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (a) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.3.2. Holders participating in an Underwritten Offering may, at their option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of the Underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such Underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to written information specifically provided by a Holder in writing for inclusion in the Registration Statement.

114

3.3.3. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Underwriter shall require any Holder to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the Underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law, and if, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, an Underwriter requires any Holder to make additional representation or warranties to or agreements with such Underwriter, such Holder may elect not to participate in such Underwritten Offering (but shall not have any claims against the Company as a result of such election). Any liability of such Holder to any Underwriter or other person under such underwriting agreement shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds (net of expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions) that it derives from such registration.

3.4. Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, or in the opinion of counsel for the Company it is necessary to supplement or amend such Prospectus to comply with law, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement or including the information counsel for the Company believes to be necessary to comply with law (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice such that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, as applicable, will not include a Misstatement and complies with law), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Board to be necessary for such purpose; provided, that each day of any such suspension pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall correspondingly decrease the Aggregate Blocking Period available to the Company during any twelve (12)-month period pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

3.5. Covenants of the Company. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company hereby covenants and agrees:

3.5.1. the Company will not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein or any other filing or document (other than this Agreement) with the Commission which refers to any Holder of Registrable Securities by name or otherwise without the prior written approval of such Holder;

115

3.5.2. the Company will not effect or permit to occur any combination or subdivision of securities which would adversely affect the ability of the Holders to effect registration of Registrable Securities in the manner contemplated by this Agreement;

3.5.3. at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements; and

3.5.4. promptly following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by subsection 2.1.1 (and in any event within three (3) business days from such effectiveness), the Company shall cause the transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends (including any electronic transfer restrictions) from any Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants held by such Holder and provide or cause any customary opinions of counsel to be delivered to the transfer agent in connection with such removal.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1. Indemnification.

4.1.1. In connection with any registration of and/or any offering and sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, partners, stockholders or members, employees, agents, investment advisors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), joint or several (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) (collectively, “Claims”), to which any such Holder or other persons may become subject, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such Holder or other person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; except insofar as the Claim or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or

116

omission or alleged omission made in such filing in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, the Company may require that, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement, the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from such Holder, to indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) from and against any Claims, to which any the Company or such other persons may become subject, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based on any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Underwriter shall require any Holder of Registrable Securities to provide any indemnification other than that provided hereinabove in this subsection 4.1.2, and, if, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, an Underwriter requires any Holder of Registrable Securities to provide additional indemnification, such Holder may elect not to participate in such Underwritten Offering (but shall not have any claim against the Company as a result of such election).

4.1.3. Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any Claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such Claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the

117

entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) and which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault or culpability on the part of such indemnified party or does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, partners, stockholders or members, employees, agents, investment advisors or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

4.1.5. If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Claims, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Claims (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Registrable Securities or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder or any director, officer, employee, agent, investment advisor or controlling person thereof under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

118

4.1.6. The indemnification required by this Section 4.1 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.
