ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON THE CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock of the Company and Merger Sub.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by any Party or any other Person (including the Company Stockholders):

(i) each share of Company Common Stock that is owned of record or Beneficially Owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Cancelled Shares”) shall be automatically cancelled and retired shall cease to exist, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares and any Dissenting Shares, which shall have only those rights set forth in Section 2.3) shall be automatically converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $96.00 (the “Per Share Merger Consideration” and, in the aggregate for all such shares of Company Common Stock, the “Merger Consideration”), in each case without any interest thereon and subject to any withholding of Taxes; and

(iii) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation as of immediately following the Effective Time.

(b) If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, any change shall occur in the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock because of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, division or subdivision, reverse stock split, stock dividend, exchange, consolidation of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration, Per Share Merger Consideration and any other similarly dependent terms or items, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Company Common Stock (including Company Equity Awards) the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(c) As of the Effective Time, the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall no longer remain outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of (i) any share of Company Common Stock represented by a certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Certificate”) or (ii) any share of Company Common Stock held in non-certificated book-entry form (each, a “Book-Entry Share”) shall thereafter cease to have any rights related thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

Section 2.2 Surrender and Payment for Company Shares.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, and in any event, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company or financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) in connection with the Merger. Parent shall enter into agreements, in each case in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, with the Paying Agent relating to services to be performed by the Paying Agent in its capacity as Paying Agent.

4

(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Paying Agent an amount of cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares (such amount, together with the amount deposited pursuant to the sentence immediately following this sentence, the “Payment Fund”). If for any reason (including losses) the Payment Fund is insufficient to make prompt cash payments of the aggregate Merger Consideration in the Merger as contemplated hereby, Parent shall, or shall cause the Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation to, promptly deposit additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such cash payment obligations. The Payment Fund will not be used for any purpose other than to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in the Merger. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the cash in the Payment Fund will be invested by the Paying Agent as reasonably directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation; provided that such investments shall be solely in (i) obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available) or (iv) money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument may have a maturity exceeding three (3) months. Nothing in this Agreement and no investment losses resulting from investment of the Payment Fund shall diminish the rights of any holder of shares of Company Common Stock represented by Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to receive, or Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay, such holder’s applicable portion of the Merger Consideration.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event not later than the third (3^rd) Business Day after the Closing Date, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall instruct and cause the Paying Agent to deliver to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (i) in the case of such shares represented by Certificates, (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof under Section 2.2(f))) and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree) and (B) customary instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates, and (ii) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, customary instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Book-Entry Shares, in each case, in exchange for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each share of Company Common Stock evidenced by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable. Upon (1) in the case of Certificates, delivery and surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Paying Agent (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof under Section 2.2(f)), together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal or (2) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” in

5

customary form, and such other evidence of surrender, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably request, the holders thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Payment Fund in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each share of Company Common Stock evidenced by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, and the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares represented by Certificates that are not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the proper amount of Merger Consideration may be paid in exchange therefor to a Person other than the Person whose name the Certificate so surrendered are registered if (I) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (II) the Person requesting such payment shall either (x) pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or (y) establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax was paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share hereunder.

(d) The Merger Consideration issued and paid under this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to former holders of Company Common Stock one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any such former holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent or the Surviving Corporation for payment of any portion of the Merger Consideration, in accordance with this Article II and without any interest thereon, payable in respect of such former holder’s shares of Company Common Stock. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any portion of the Merger Consideration or cash from the Payment Fund delivered to a Governmental Authority under any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by former holders of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such customary and reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it related to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article II.

Section 2.3 Appraisal Rights. As used herein, “Dissenting Share” means any share of Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Cancelled Shares) and that is held by any Person who is entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL for such share of Company Common Stock and has properly exercised and perfected a demand for appraisal of such share of Company Common Stock in the time and manner provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and has complied in all respects with and neither effectively withdrawn nor lost the right to such appraisal with respect to such share of Company Common Stock under the DGCL. At the Effective Time, (a) by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any other Person (including the Company Stockholders), each Dissenting Share shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist and (b) each holder of a Dissenting Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive only such consideration as shall be determined pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that, if any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, effectively withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL for such Dissenting Share, the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Share shall cease and such Dissenting Share shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest, in accordance with this Agreement and shall not thereafter be deemed to be a Dissenting Share. The Company shall provide prompt notice to Parent of any written demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served under Section 262 of the DGCL, which are received by the Company relating to such demands, in each case prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and Actions related to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment related to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands for appraisal or agree to do any of the foregoing, and Parent will not commit to make any such payment or enter into any such settlement prior to the Effective Time without the prior written consent of the Company.

Section 2.4 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Unless otherwise mutually agreed by Parent and the holder thereof following receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested or exercisable (each, a “Company Option”), shall, as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, immediately vest in full and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment, without interest and less any Taxes required to be withheld, equal to the product of: (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration, minus (B) the exercise price payable per share of Company Common Stock under such Company Option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Option Consideration”). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the per share exercise price under any Company Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof and shall have no further force or effect.

7

(b) Unless otherwise mutually agreed by Parent and the holder thereof following receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, at the Effective Time, each restricted stock or restricted stock unit award granted by the Company in respect of shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Share Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, immediately vest in full and become free of restrictions and shall be cancelled and converted automatically, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, into the right to receive a cash payment (without duplication or interest and less any applicable withholding Taxes) with respect thereto equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Share Award as of the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Company Share Award Consideration”).

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the aggregate of (i) the Company Option Consideration owed to all holders of Company Options, and (ii) the Company Share Award Consideration owed to all holders of Company Share Awards, in each case, other than any portion of the Company Option Consideration and the Company Share Award Consideration to be paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 2.4(c), which Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent at or prior to the Effective Time. Subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, no later than fifteen (15) calendar days following the Effective Time, the applicable holders of Company Options and Company Share Awards will receive a payment from the Surviving Corporation (or one of its Affiliates) of all amounts required to be paid to such holders in respect of the Company Options and Company Share Awards that are cancelled and converted into cash pursuant to this Section 2.4. If any holder to whom payment is owed pursuant to this Section 2.4 is a current or former employee of any Company Entity, the payment shall be made through the payroll system or payroll provider of the Surviving Corporation (or one of its Affiliates), less applicable Taxes. For all other holders of Company Equity Awards (including holders who are non-employee directors of any Company Entity), the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to make such payment, in each case, within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time.

(d) All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.4 will be without interest and less any applicable withholding Taxes and will be subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, if applicable.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board or an appropriate committee thereof shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that may be necessary to (i) effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.4 and (ii) ensure that the Company Stock Plan will terminate at the Effective Time and from and after the Effective Time, none of Parent or any of its Affiliates shall be required to deliver Company Common Stock or, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, any other consideration to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of any Company Equity Award.

Section 2.5 Necessary Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation determines that any actions are necessary to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any right, property or asset of either of the Company or (if applicable) Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to vest all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

Section 2.6 Withholding. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, any Affiliate of Parent or Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from the amounts otherwise payable to any Company Stockholder or holder of Company Equity Awards pursuant hereto such amounts as Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, determines are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payments under applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are properly deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the holder of the Company Common Stock or holder of Company Equity Awards in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. If Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Paying Agent determines that any amounts are required to be deducted or withheld (other than any deduction or withholding with respect to any payments constituting compensation for services), Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, prior to deducting or withholding such amounts, notify the holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding is to be made and shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to establish or obtain any exemption from or reduction in the amount of any withholding that otherwise would be required.

Except as has not resulted in and would not reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect, as of the date hereof, (a) there are no Actions pending or, to Parent’s Knowledge, threatened against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, properties or assets, and (b) none of Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in their respective capacity as such are subject to any Order.

Section 4.6 Compliance with Laws; Permits. Except as has not resulted in and would not reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect, the Parent Entities are in compliance with all applicable Laws and material Permits applicable to their businesses.

Section 4.7 Financing. Parent has delivered to the Company a correct and complete fully executed copy of the (a) equity commitment letter, dated as of May 13, 2022, by and among Parent, the Guarantor and the other parties party thereto, including all exhibits, schedules, annexes and amendments to such commitment letter in effect as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Equity Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the Guarantor has committed to provide to Parent, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, cash in the aggregate amount set forth therein for the purposes of funding a portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Equity Financing”) and (b) debt commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Parent and the Financing Sources party thereto, including all exhibits, schedules, annexes and amendments to such commitment letter in effect as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented, replaced or modified from time to time, the “Debt Commitment Letter,” and together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letters”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Financing Sources thereunder have committed to lend the aggregate amount set forth therein for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated hereby (the provision of such funds as provided therein, subject to Section 5.8, the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”). Parent has also delivered to the Company a correct and complete fully executed copy of the fee letter that relates to the Debt Financing (the “Fee Letter”); provided that the fee amounts, pricing caps and other terms, and the rates and amounts included in the “market flex” provisions and other customary provisions may be redacted in a customary manner so long as none of such redacted provisions could adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability or termination or reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing

34

required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. As of the date hereof, the Commitment Letters have not been amended, restated or otherwise modified or waived prior to the execution and delivery hereof, and the respective commitments under the Commitment Letters have not been withdrawn, rescinded, amended, restated or otherwise modified in any respect prior to the execution and delivery hereof. As of the date hereof, except for the Commitment Letters and the Fee Letter, customary fee discount or rebate letters and non-disclosure agreements, there are no other Contracts, side letters or other arrangements to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is bound that would affect the availability, amount or conditionality of the Financing on the Closing Date. As of the execution and delivery hereof, each of the Commitment Letters is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, except as limited by the Bankruptcy and Equitable Exceptions. Parent has fully paid (or caused to be fully paid) any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Commitment Letters to be paid on or before the date hereof. There are no conditions precedent (including under any “market flex” provisions) related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, except as expressly provided in the Commitment Letters. Assuming funding of the Financing in accordance with the Commitment Letters, subject to the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letters and assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, the aggregate proceeds from the Financing, together with cash on hand or other available capital resources of Parent and its Subsidiaries will, in the aggregate, be sufficient to enable Parent and Merger Sub to deliver and make payment of (i) the aggregate Merger Consideration, (ii) the aggregate consideration payable pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.4 and (iii) any and all expenses incurred by Parent in connection with this Agreement and any and all other amounts payable by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Merger Sub in connection with the Closing. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which would result in any breach of or a default (or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time, or both, would be a default) by Parent or Merger Sub under the Commitment Letters, and Parent (A) is not aware of any fact, event or other occurrence that would make any of the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Commitment Letters inaccurate or would cause the Commitment Letters to be ineffective and (B) assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 as of the Closing, has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters shall not be satisfied or that the Financing shall not be available to Parent on or prior to the Closing Date in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2). The Equity Commitment Letter provides that the Company is a third party beneficiary thereof as set forth therein and is entitled to enforce such agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent acknowledges and agrees that Parent’s obligations under this Agreement are not conditioned in any manner whatsoever upon Parent or Merger Sub obtaining proceeds from the Financing to satisfy any funding obligations under this Agreement, and the obtaining of the Financing is not a condition to Closing or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.8 Limited Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub have delivered to the Company a true, complete and correct copy of the Limited Guarantee of the Guarantor. The Limited Guarantee is in full force and effect and is the valid, binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its

35

terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles, and no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could constitute a default on the part of the Guarantor under the terms and conditions of the Limited Guarantee.

Section 4.9 Solvency. Assuming (i) satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Parent’s obligation to consummate the Merger and (ii) the consummation of the Financing on the terms set forth in the Commitment Letters giving effect to all of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration and consummation of the Financing, Parent and its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) will be Solvent. For the purpose of this Section 4.9, the term “Solvent” when used with respect to any Person, means that as of any date of determination (a) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person as of such date exceed (i) the value of all “liabilities” of such Person, including “contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors and (ii) the amount that is required to pay the probable liabilities of such Person on its existing debts (including contingent liabilities) as such debts become absolute and matured, (b) such Person does not have as of such date an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date and (c) such Person is able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature. For the purpose of this definition, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person is able to generate sufficient cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due. No transfer of property is being made, and no obligation is being incurred, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries).

Section 4.10 Ownership of Securities and Equity Rights. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, none of the Parent Entities Beneficially Own or hold of record any shares of Company Common Stock or other Equity Securities relating to, or any other economic interest in, the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. During the three (3) year period immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the Parties, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective “affiliates” or “associates” is, or has been, an “interested stockholder” (as such terms are defined in Section 203 of the DGCL) of the Company for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL. Except for the Voting Agreement, there are no voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which Parent or Merger Sub or any Person controlling or controlled by Parent or Merger Sub is a party, with respect to the voting, transfer or tendering of the Company Common Stock. None of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates is an “Initial Holder,” an “Affiliate” of any “Initial Holder” or a group, or part of a group, that includes an “Initial Holder” or any “Affiliate” of an “Initial Holder” (as such terms are defined in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company).

36

Section 4.11 Disclosure. None of the information with respect to Parent or Merger Sub supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub in writing specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the time such document is filed with the SEC, at any time such document is amended or supplemented or at the time such document is first published, sent or given to the Company Stockholders and at the time of the Company Stockholders 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 were made, not misleading.

Section 4.12 Absence of Certain Agreements. As of the date hereof, and except for the Voting Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or written), or authorized, committed or agreed to enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or written) (a) with any stockholder of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or the post-Closing operations of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, (b) pursuant to which any third party (other than (i) the Guarantor and any permitted assignee thereof under the Equity Commitment Letter and (ii) any Affiliate of Parent (or any limited partners of Guarantor or its Affiliates)) has agreed to provide, directly or indirectly, equity capital to Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to finance, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or (c) pursuant to which any current officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has agreed or committed to (i) remain as an officer or employee of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates following the Effective Time (other than pursuant to employment contracts with the Company or its Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement), (ii) contribute or “roll-over” any portion of such officer or employee’s shares of Common Stock or Equity Rights relating to shares of Common Stock to Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or (iii) receive any Securities or Equity Rights of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 4.13 Acknowledgment by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Merger Sub. None of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates is relying or has relied on any representation or warranty whatsoever regarding the transactions contemplated hereby or the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except for the representations and warranties of the Company expressly set forth in Article III. Such representations and warranties by the Company constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company or with respect to the Company Entities in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature, whether express, implied or statutory, are specifically disclaimed and excluded by the Company or any of the Company Entities. In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company Entities by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives have received and may continue to receive from the Company and its Representatives after the date of this Agreement certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan information, regarding the Company Entities and their respective businesses and operations. Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, and that Parent and Merger Sub will have no claim against the Company, any of

37

the other Company Entities, any of their respective Representatives or any other Person with respect thereto unless any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement. Accordingly, Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge and agree that neither the Company, any of the other Company Entities, any of their respective Representatives nor any other Person has made or is making any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any Representatives of any of the foregoing has relied on any such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans, unless and only to the extent any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in Article III hereof or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(d).

Section 5.2 No Company Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted prior to the execution and delivery hereof related to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal and (ii) reasonably promptly request in writing the prompt return to the

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.2(a) or any other provision hereof to the contrary, if at any time following the date hereof and prior to (but not after) the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Company receives a bona fide written Alternative Acquisition Proposal that does not result from a material breach of this Section 5.2, and the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor) that such Alternative Acquisition Proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Acquisition Proposal, the Company and its Representatives may (i) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with the Person or group of Persons making such Alternative Acquisition Proposal and/or furnish or provide information (including nonpublic information) in response to a request therefor by the Person or group of Persons making such Alternative Acquisition Proposal pursuant to (but only pursuant to) one or more Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements with such Person; provided that any nonpublic information concerning the Company provided to such Person(s), including if posted to an electronic data room, that has not been previously provided to Parent shall be provided to Parent concurrently with or as promptly as practicable after (and in any event within 24 hours of) the time it is provided to such Person, and (ii) enter into, participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person or Persons and its or their Representatives regarding such Alternative Acquisition Proposal; provided, that, prior to entering into, participating or engaging in any such discussions or negotiations, the Company has provided to Parent written notice of such intent to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company and its Representatives may (A) engage in communications not involving the provision of confidential information to, or substantive negotiations with, a Person solely for the purpose of clarifying or understanding the terms and conditions of any inquiry or proposal made by such Person to determine whether such inquiry or proposal is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Acquisition Proposal, (B) inform a Person that has made an Alternative Acquisition Proposal that the Company is bound by the provisions of this Section 5.2 and (C) grant a waiver of any “standstill” or similar provisions in any Contract with any Person to the extent such provisions would prohibit such Person from making an Alternative Acquisition Proposal privately to the Company Board.

43

provisions of any such agreement. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 to the contrary, no contacts, disclosures, discussions, negotiations or waivers permitted under this Section 5.2(b) shall (in and of itself) constitute a Change of Recommendation or otherwise constitute a basis for Parent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i).

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after knowledge of receipt by an executive officer or director of the Company) advise Parent in writing if the Company or any of its Representatives receives any (i) bona fide written Alternative Acquisition Proposal, (ii) inquiry or request for information, discussion or negotiation that is reasonably likely to lead to or that contemplates an Alternative Acquisition Proposal or (iii) any proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, which written notice shall (x) indicate the identity of the Person making any such Alternative Acquisition Proposal or other inquiry, request, proposal or offer and (y) include details of the material terms and conditions of any such Alternative Acquisition Proposal or other inquiry, request, proposal or offer. The Company will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any agreement with any person that prohibits or otherwise limits the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from providing the information described in this Section 5.2(c) to Parent or from otherwise complying with its obligations under this Section 5.2. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a timely basis of the status and details of any such Alternative Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, request, proposal or offer (including any modifications or proposed modifications thereto) and any discussions or negotiations concerning the material terms and conditions thereof.

(d) Except as set forth in Section 5.2(e), from and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify (or publicly propose to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent, or otherwise make any public statement or proposal inconsistent with, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose to adopt, approve or recommend (publicly or otherwise), an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, (C) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer by a third party for the shares of Company common Stock within ten (10) Business Days after commencement of such offer, (D) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (E) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within five (5) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing following any public disclosure of an Alternative Acquisition Proposal; provided, that Parent may only request one such reaffirmation with respect to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or (F) resolve or publicly propose to take any action described in the foregoing clauses (i)(A) through (i)(E) or the following clause (ii) (any action described in clauses (i)(A) through (i)(F) above or clause (ii) below, a “Change of Recommendation”) or (ii) authorize, approve, adopt or recommend, propose to approve, adopt or recommend (publicly or otherwise) or cause or permit a Company Entity to enter into any acquisition agreement, agreement and plan of merger or similar definitive Contract, or any other Contract (including any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle or similar document, agreement or understanding) constituting, related to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal (except for an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement under Section 5.2(b)) (any such Contract, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

44

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 to the contrary, at any time before the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, (1) if the Company has received a bona fide written Alternative Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.2 and that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and the Company’s financial advisor) constitutes a Superior Acquisition Proposal and that the failure of the Company to make a Change of Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company Board may make a Change of Recommendation or authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(d)(i) and enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Acquisition Proposal, and (2) if in response to an Intervening Event, the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and the Company’s financial advisor) that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may make a Change of Recommendation; provided that the Company Board may not make a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(i) unless:

(i) the Company Board shall have provided prior written notice to Parent at least three (3) Business Days in advance that it intends to make a Change of Recommendation or authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(d)(i), which notice shall, in the case of a Superior Acquisition Proposal, (A) include the most current draft of any Alternative Acquisition Agreement proposed by the Person making such Superior Acquisition Proposal and all other relevant documents with respect to such Superior Acquisition Proposal and (B) specify the material terms and conditions of any Superior Acquisition Proposal (including the identity of the Person making such Superior Acquisition Proposal) and, in the case of an Intervening Event, include a written description in reasonable detail of such Intervening Event;

(ii) prior to making a Change of Recommendation and/or terminating the Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Acquisition Proposal, during such three (3) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company shall have, and shall cause its Representatives to have, engaged in good faith negotiations to amend or make adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Limited Guarantee, the Equity Commitment Letter and/or the Debt Commitment Letters, or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby in a manner that would either cause such Alternative Acquisition Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Acquisition Proposal or obviate the need for a Change of Recommendation as a result of such Superior Acquisition Proposal or Intervening Event, it being understood that the Company Board will consider in good faith all proposals made by Parent during such three (3) Business Day period; and

(iii) Parent does not make, at the end of such three (3) Business Day period, a proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and the Company’s financial advisor and taking into account any changes to the terms of the contemplated transactions irrevocably proposed in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as

45

contemplated by this Section 5.2(e)) either causes such Alternative Acquisition Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Acquisition Proposal or obviates the need for a Change of Recommendation as a result of such Intervening Event or Superior Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, if such proposal is implemented as irrevocably proposed in writing by Parent. With respect to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal constituting a Superior Acquisition Proposal as described in clause (1) of Section 5.2(e), if there is any material change to the terms and conditions of such Superior Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.2(e) with respect to such new written notice, except that the references to the three (3) Business Day advanced written notice period above shall be deemed to be references to a two (2) Business Day period.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall prohibit the Company or Company Board (or any committee thereof) from issuing any “stop, look and listen” or similar communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal or from making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders required under applicable Law; provided that (i) neither the Company nor Company Board may effect a Change of Recommendation except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 5.2(e) and (ii) any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication) shall be deemed to constitute a Change of Recommendation unless the Company expressly and publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation.

Section 5.4 Access to Information. Upon reasonable notice, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide Parent, its Financing Sources and its and their respective Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to the Company Entities’ properties, books, records, Tax Returns, Contracts and personnel, and during such period, the Company shall cause to be furnished promptly to Parent, its Financing Sources and its and their respective Representatives all information concerning the Company Entities and their respective businesses, as Parent or the Financing Sources may reasonably request, including copies of such information as is necessary for the operation, ownership and management of the Company Entities’ business or information as may be required to permit Parent to satisfy its obligations to any Governmental Authority following the Effective Time; provided that Parent shall not use any information obtained under this Section 5.4 for any purpose unrelated to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide any such access or information that in the reasonable good-faith judgment of the Company would (a) violate applicable Law, (b) breach any confidentiality obligation of any Company Entity; provided that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to provide such access or disclosure or (c) waive or jeopardize protections afforded any Company Entity under the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine or any other legal privilege (subject to reasonable cooperation between the Parties with respect to entering into appropriate joint defense, community of interest or similar agreements or arrangements with respect to the preservation of such privileges); provided, further, that (i) the Company shall

51

preventing or delaying the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or to avoid the commencement of any action that seeks to prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) if any objections are asserted with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Laws or if any action, whether judicial or administrative, is instituted by any Governmental Authority or any private party challenging the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Laws, Parent and the Company shall cooperate with one another, and Parent shall use its best efforts to: (I) oppose or defend against any action by any Governmental Authority to prevent or enjoin the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and/or (II) take such action as necessary to overturn any action by any Governmental Authority to block the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by defending any action brought by any Governmental Authority in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated, overturned or terminated, including by appeal if necessary, any applicable Law, Order or injunction (preliminary or permanent) that would restrain, prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or in order to resolve any such objections or challenge as such Governmental Authority may have under such Applicable Law, Order, or injunction so as to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Parent nor the Company shall take, or permit any of its controlled Affiliates to take or any of its Representatives (on its behalf) to take, any action (including entering into any Contract or arrangement or consummating any transaction) that would reasonably be likely to prevent, delay or impede the expiration of the notice period or the receipt of clearance under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Laws or otherwise adversely affect the ability of the Parties to resolve any objections that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law. Parent shall not extend any waiting period or other applicable time period under the HSR Act or any applicable Antitrust Law or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority to delay, or otherwise not to consummate as soon as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the Company.

Section 5.6 Proxy Statement; Company Stockholders Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, the proxy statement related to the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Proxy Statement”). The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the Exchange Act, the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and any other applicable Law and to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff. Subject to and except as otherwise permitted by Section 5.2, the Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Parent and Merger Sub shall furnish and provide to the Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement all information, financial or otherwise, concerning or relating to itself, its Affiliates and, to the extent reasonable available, their respective stockholders, equity holders or Representatives, in each case, required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Proxy Statement as reasonably requested by the Company for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval as soon as reasonably practicable.

53

the Proxy Statement and shall provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence or written summaries of any oral communications between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand, relating to the Proxy Statement. Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith in the preparation, filing, clearance and mailing of the Proxy Statement by the Company. Prior to any Change of Recommendation, the Company shall provide Parent and its Representatives a reasonable opportunity to review and propose comments on the Proxy Statement prior to the filing thereof (and any amendments or supplements thereto) or any responses or other communications to the SEC or its staff and shall in good faith consider such comments reasonably proposed by Parent and its Representatives for inclusion therein.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company shall cause none of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of it in writing for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement to, at the date it or any amendment or supplement is mailed to the Company Stockholders and at the time of the Company Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Representatives, should be discovered by Parent or the Company, respectively, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that such documents 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 such other Party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the Company Stockholders.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which the SEC confirms that it will not review or that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement, the Company shall duly set a record date (the “Company Record Date”) for a meeting of the Company Stockholders for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”), file the Proxy Statement in definitive form with the SEC and mail the Proxy Statement to the Company Stockholders entitled to notice of the Company Stockholders Meeting, duly call and give notice of the Company Stockholders Meeting and, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Company Record Date, duly convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting in accordance with applicable Law. Unless the Company Board has made a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.2, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholders Meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting (i) to the extent necessary or appropriate to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the Company Stockholders within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Company Stockholders Meeting, (ii) if, as of the time for which the Company Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to (A) constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at such Company Stockholders Meeting or (B) obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, (iii) to allow additional time for the solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval in respect of the Merger or (iv) as otherwise required by applicable Law or an Order from the SEC.

54

(d) Immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parties, Parent shall duly execute and deliver an action by written consent (the “Merger Sub Stockholder Consent”) of Parent, as sole stockholder of Merger Sub, duly approving and adopting this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), in accordance with applicable Law and the Constituent Documents of Merger Sub, which written consent shall thereupon immediately become effective, and Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company a copy of the Merger Sub Stockholder Consent so approving and adopting this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger).

(a) All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, and rights to advancement of expenses in connection with any actual or threatened Action relating thereto, now existing in favor of any Person who is or prior to the Effective Time becomes, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, a present or former director or officer (including as a fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan) of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors (together with their respective heirs, executors, successors and assigns, the “Indemnified Persons”) as provided in the Constituent Documents of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries, each as in effect as of the date hereof, or in any indemnification agreement, or other agreement containing any indemnification provisions, including any employment agreements, between such Indemnified Person and the Company or any Company Subsidiaries (each as in effect as of the date hereof) shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to fulfill and honor all such rights in accordance with the terms of such Constituent Documents or indemnification agreements. For a period of not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, cause to be maintained in effect provisions in the Constituent Documents of the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries (or in such documents of any successor to the business of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) regarding indemnification of Indemnified Persons, exculpation and elimination of liability of Indemnified Persons and advancement of expenses to Indemnified Persons that are no less advantageous to the intended beneficiaries thereof than the corresponding provisions in the Constituent Documents of the Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries in existence on the date of this Agreement, which shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Person.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, in the event of any actual or threatened Action, whether civil, criminal or administrative, based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or related or pertaining to (i) the fact that an Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of any Company Entity, (ii) any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to occur prior to or at the Effective Time in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director or officer of any Company Entity or (iii) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any Action commenced by an

55

Indemnified Person to enforce his or her rights to indemnification, advancement or exculpation under this Agreement, any Constituent Document of any Company Entity or any other agreement to which such Indemnified Person is a party), whether asserted before or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Subsidiaries to, indemnify and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, the Indemnified Persons (whether or not a party to such Action) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement or other costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses which shall be paid in advance of the final disposition of such Action), in each case, to the fullest extent (x) provided for in the Constituent Documents or any indemnification agreement, or other agreement containing any indemnification provisions, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof and (y) permitted by applicable Law; provided that such Indemnified Person shall have made an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Claim for which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnified Person hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Claim with no admission of liability with respect to such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Person otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent in his or her sole and absolute discretion. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with an Indemnified Person in the defense of any matter for which such Indemnified Person would be entitled to seek indemnification hereunder.

(c) The Company may obtain, at or prior to the Effective Time, prepaid or “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies with respect to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) for a period beginning at the Effective Time and ending six (6) years after the Effective Time, covering each Indemnified Person on terms and conditions, including with respect to coverage amounts, deductibles and exclusions, that are, individually and in the aggregate, no less favorable to any Indemnified Person that those contained in such policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement. If such prepaid or “tail” insurance policies have been obtained by the Company, Parent shall cause such policies to be maintained in full force and effect for their full term and shall cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by it and the Surviving Corporation. If the Company does not obtain such prepaid or “tail” insurance policies, then for a period beginning as of the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall maintain in effect, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Subsidiaries to maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons, the current level and scope of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage on terms and conditions, including with respect to coverage amounts, deductibles and exclusions, that are, individually and in the aggregate, no less favorable to any Indemnified Person than those contained in the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one (1) year an amount in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently payable by the Company related to such current policy (the “Annual Cap”); provided, further, that, if the annual premiums payable for such insurance coverage exceed the Annual Cap, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost equal to the Annual Cap.

56

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or Surviving Corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation (or Parent) under this Section 5.7.

(e) From and after the Closing, the Indemnified Persons shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.7, with full rights of enforcement as if a party hereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons under this Section 5.7 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for or limitation of, any other rights that any such Indemnified Person may have under the applicable Constituent Documents, any other indemnification Contract or agreement with the Company or any Company Subsidies, the DGCL, other applicable Law or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.7 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnified Person in his or her sole and absolute discretion.

(f) Nothing herein is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence related to the Company Entities for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.7 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Section 5.8 Financing.

(a) Parent shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange, consummate and obtain the Financing upon the terms described in the Commitment Letters at the Closing, including to (i) maintain in full force and effect (and comply with their respective obligations under) the Commitment Letters upon the terms and conditions contained therein (including, in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, to the extent the same are exercised, the “market flex” provisions set forth in the Fee Letter) until the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, (ii) satisfy or cause to be satisfied on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letters and (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing upon the terms and conditions substantially comparable to those contemplated by the Commitment Letters (or on other terms reasonably agreed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Financing Sources or other conditions reasonably agreed by Parent, the Company, Guarantor and the Financing Sources). If all of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that, by their terms, shall be and are capable of being satisfied as of the Effective Time) have been satisfied or waived, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Financing to be consummated, and including through using its reasonable best efforts to exercise and enforce the rights of Parent and Merger Sub under the Commitment Letters to the extent necessary to obtain the Financing at or prior to the Effective Time.

57

(b) Parent shall promptly notify the Company when it becomes aware of (i) the expiration or termination of any of the Commitment Letters, (ii) any refusal by the Financing Sources or Guarantor, as the case may be, to provide the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters in a manner that, when combined with any other sources of funds available to Parent, would prevent Parent from having sufficient funds to pay the amounts required to be paid hereunder at Closing, (iii) any breach or default by any party to the Commitment Letters or definitive document relating to the Financing the effect of which would be to prevent Parent from having sufficient funds to pay the amounts required to be paid hereunder at Closing or to delay the funding of the Financing or (iv) receipt of any notice or other communication from any Person with respect to any actual or alleged breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing, to the extent such expiration, termination, refusal, breach, default, notice or other written communication could reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing or otherwise result in insufficient proceeds of the Financing to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby at the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall have no obligation to disclose any information to Company to the extent such disclosures would result in the waiver of applicable legal privilege (including attorney-client privilege) but shall provide a general description of such withheld information.

(c) Parent shall not, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates not to, replace, amend or waive the Commitment Letters without the Company’s prior written consent, if such replacement, amendment or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing in a manner that would prevent Parent from having sufficient funds to pay the amounts required to be paid hereunder on the Closing Date, when combined with any other sources of funds available to Parent, (ii) imposes any new or additional conditions precedent to the availability of the Financing or otherwise effects any replacement, amendment, modification or waiver, in each case that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the Closing or make the funding of the Financing less likely to occur or adversely impact the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the Financing Sources or any other parties to the Financing or the definitive agreements with respect thereto, in each case in any material respect or (iii) relieves or releases any Financing Source from its obligations under the Commitment Letters (other than as expressly provided for in the Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof in connection with the designation of additional arrangers), it being understood and agreed that in any event, Parent may, without the written consent of Company, amend the Commitment Letters to (A) add lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers or similar entities that have not executed the Commitment Letters as of the date hereof and consent to the assignment after the date hereof of lending commitments under the Commitment Letters to other lenders (it being understood that the aggregate commitments of the Financing Sources party to the Commitment Letters prior to such amendment or modification (but not the aggregate commitments thereunder) may be reduced in the amount of such additional party’s commitment) or (B) increase the aggregate amount of the Financing. Parent shall promptly provide the Company with copies of any replacement, amendment or waiver of the Commitment Letters that is permitted in accordance with this Agreement.

58

(d) If funds in the amounts and upon the terms set forth in the Commitment Letters become unavailable to Parent upon the terms and conditions (including any “flex” rights) set forth in the Commitment Letters and such amounts are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (except in accordance with the express terms set forth in the Commitment Letters or unless concurrently replaced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by commitments subject to substantially the same conditions as those set forth in the Commitment Letters from other financing sources or from proceeds of other sources of financing or cash), Parent shall (i) as promptly as practicable use its reasonable best efforts to obtain financing (“Alternative Financing”) in amounts and otherwise on terms and conditions not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Parent than as set forth in the Commitment Letters with financing sources acceptable to Parent in its sole discretion but in any event in amounts sufficient to pay amounts required of Closing and with no additional or more onerous conditions to the funding of the Financing and (ii) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefore. Parent shall promptly provide the Company with copies of any commitment letter associated with any Alternative Financing. If Parent proceeds with Alternative Financing, it and the Company will be subject to the same obligations with respect to the Alternative Financing as set forth in this Section 5.8 with respect to the Financing. Parent shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of the receipt of any notice or other communications from any Financing Source with respect to such Financing Source’s failure or anticipated failure to fund its commitments under any Commitment Letter or definitive agreement in connection therewith. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a current basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Financing.

(e) Parent shall, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours) after obtaining knowledge thereof, give the Company written notice of any (i) breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) related to the Financing of which it becomes aware, (ii) actual or threatened withdrawal, repudiation or termination by any party to the Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing, (iii) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing, (iv) without limiting any of the Company’s rights hereunder, amendment or modification of, or waiver under, the Commitment Letters and the Financing, or (v) notification from one or more parties to the Commitment Letters or any party to any definitive agreements related to the Financing of such party’s inability to satisfy one or more conditions precedent to the Financing. Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ believes in good faith that Parent will not be able to timely obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms and in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letters. Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis, in reasonable detail, of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing. In the event that Parent commences an enforcement action to enforce its rights under any agreement in respect of the Financing or to cause any Financing Source to fund all or any portion of the Financing, Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of such enforcement action.

59

(f) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, solely at the cost and expense of Parent, use its and their reasonable best efforts to provide such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, so long as such requests are timely made so as not to delay the Closing beyond the date that it would otherwise occur. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, such cooperation shall include using reasonable best efforts to do the following (in each case, to the extent so requested):

(i) causing management teams of the Company, with appropriate seniority and expertise, upon reasonable advance notice and during business hours, to participate in a reasonable number of meetings, conference calls, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions and similar presentations to and with prospective lenders and rating agencies (with all of the foregoing to be virtual at the Company’s or such persons’ request);

(ii) reasonably assisting with the preparation of customary rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda and other customary marketing, lender and investor presentations and syndication materials (which may only be distributed to a third party to the extent permitted by the Confidentiality Agreement or other customary confidentiality arrangements) reasonably and customarily required and reasonably requested by the Financing Sources in connection with the Financing, in each case solely with respect to information relating to the Company’s business (including, without limitation, providing customary key performance indicators with respect to environmental and social guidelines);

(iii) delivering customary authorization letters in connection with the marketing materials for the Debt Financing (including with respect to the absence of material non-public information in the public-side version of such documents distributed to potential lenders and the absence of material misstatements);

(iv) furnishing Parent and the Financing Sources, no later than four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 and 31 C.F.R. §1010.230, that has been reasonably requested by Parent in writing, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(v) subject to Section 5.8(g), facilitating the taking of all reasonable and customary corporate action, limited liability company action or other organizational action, as applicable, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, necessary to permit and/or authorize the consummation of the Debt Financing;

(vi) subject to Section 5.8(g), assisting in the preparation of customary definitive financing and security documentation and the completion of and disclosure schedules, exhibits or annexes thereto and permitting officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries who will be officers of such entities after the Closing Date to execute and deliver documentation in connection with the Debt Financing (including a solvency certificate substantially in the form attached as Annex I to the Summary of Additional Conditions Exhibit to the Debt Commitment Letter);

60

(vii) obtaining customary payoff letters, Lien releases and similar instruments in respect of the Existing Credit Facility; and

(viii) subject to Section 5.8(g), reasonably facilitating the pledge and perfection of liens and security interests in connection with the Debt Financing, as may be reasonably requested by Parent (provided that no obligation under any document or agreement with respect thereto will take effect until the Closing) and executing and delivering officer’s certificates (including solvency and perfection certificates), agreements that facilitate the creation, perfection or enforcement of liens securing the Debt Financing (including original copies of all certificated securities (with transfer powers executed in blank)), corporate organizational documents, lien searches, documentation and other information reasonably requested by Parent to determine whether or not the Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the Investment Company Act, and resolutions contemplated by the Debt Financing or reasonably requested by Parent or its Financing Sources.

(g) Notwithstanding Section 5.8(f) or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives will be required to (i) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay or pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur, prior to the Closing, any actual or potential liability or obligation in connection with the Financing, (ii) execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the Financing that is not contingent upon the Closing occurring or that would be effective prior to the Closing (other than execution and delivery of authorization letters contemplated by clause (f)(iii) above), (iii) provide or cause to be provided any information or take or cause to be taken any action to the extent it would result in a violation of applicable Law or loss of any legal privilege, (iv) take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the business or operation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives, (v) take any action that would cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached or become inaccurate or that would breach any covenant in this Agreement, (vi) take any action that would conflict with or violate, or that would reasonably be expected to conflict with or violate, the Constituent Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or applicable Law, (vii) take any action that would result in the contravention of, or that could reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or a default under, any Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Representatives is a party or by which it is bound or any obligations of confidentiality binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Representatives, (viii) cause any director, officer, employee or other Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to incur any actual or potential personal liability or (ix) prepare any pro forma financial statements, projections or other similar materials.

(h) Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives, as applicable, for all reasonably documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with this Section 5.8. Parent and Merger Sub shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and

61

their respective Representatives from and against any and all Liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), interest, awards, judgments and penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof) suffered or incurred in connection with any financing, whether the Financing, any Alternative Financing or any other financing, or other securities offering of Parent or its Affiliates or any information, assistance or activities provided in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the performance of the obligations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries under this Section 5.8. The reimbursement, indemnification and exculpation obligations of Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 5.8(h) shall be referred to collectively as the “Reimbursement and Indemnification Obligations.”

(i) The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in a customary manner in connection with the Financing; provided that such logos shall be used solely in a manner that is reasonable and customary for such purposes and that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage or otherwise adversely affect the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective products, services or offerings.

(j) All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall be kept confidential in accordance with, and will be subject to the terms of, the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the Company agrees that Parent and its Affiliates may share non-public or confidential information regarding the Company Entities and their businesses with the Financing Sources and potential financing sources in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, further, that (i) Parent shall notify the Company in writing of the identity of any recipients of such information prior to such information being shared or furnished and (ii) such Persons agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement or are subject to other confidentiality obligations or undertakings customary for transactions similar to the Debt Financing and, in each case, shall be deemed to be Representatives of Parent under the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstance shall Parent or its Affiliates permitted to disclose any information to any such Person if and to the extent such information constitutes “Highly Confidential Information” under the Clean Team Agreement.

(k) The Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review all presentations, bank information memoranda and similar marketing materials, materials for rating agencies and other documents prepared by or on behalf of or used by Parent or any of its Affiliates or used or distributed to any Financing Source in connection with the Financing that include any logos of or information about or provided by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives, and, upon the Company’s prior written request, any such presentations, memoranda, materials or documents shall include a conspicuous disclaimer to the effect that none of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives has any responsibility or liability for the content of such document and that the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives disclaim all responsibility therefor.

62

(l) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Financing or Alternative Financing is not a condition to the obligation of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and that the unavailability of the Financing or Alternative Financing, or any adverse changes in the terms or conditions thereof, shall not in any event excuse the performance by Parent or Merger Sub of their obligations hereunder.

Section 5.9 Stock Exchange Delisting and Deregistration. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to cause the Surviving Corporation’s securities to be de-listed from the Nasdaq and de-registered under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time.

Section 5.10 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities related to Company Common Stock) by officers or directors of the Company resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 5.11 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) For a period of one (1) year immediately following the Effective Time (or if shorter, during the period of employment), Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each employee of any Company Entity immediately prior to the Closing who continues to be employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries immediately following the Closing (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with (i) an annual base salary or wage rate that is no less favorable than that provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) a target annual cash incentive opportunity (excluding specific performance goals) that is no less favorable than that provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, excluding equity or equity-based arrangements, severance benefits, change in control, retention or similar benefits, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements, retiree medical and welfare benefits, defined benefit pension plans and specific performance goals for any cash incentive compensation.

(b) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under any employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries solely to the extent such plans provide benefits to any Continuing Employee after the Effective Time (excluding the Company Benefit Plans) (the “New Plans”), Parent shall cause each such Continuing Employee to be credited with his or her years of service with the Company Entities and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under

63

any comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing service credit shall not be required to apply (i) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service, (ii) for purposes of eligibility, vesting or benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan and (iii) for purposes of eligibility, vesting or benefit accruals under any retiree medical or welfare arrangement. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for any New Plans that are welfare benefit plans, programs and arrangements maintained, sponsored or contributed to by Parent or the Surviving Corporation (“Parent Welfare Company Benefit Plans”) in which a Continuing Employee may be eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall (1) waive, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable insurance carrier (including, if applicable, any stop loss insurance carrier) to waive, all limitations as to eligibility waiting periods and preexisting and at-work conditions, if any, related to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee under any Parent Welfare Company Benefit Plan to the same extent waived or otherwise satisfied under a comparable Company Benefit Plan, and (2) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide credit to each Continuing Employee for any co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid by such Continuing Employee under the Company Benefit Plans during the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs, up to and including the Effective Time.

(c) If requested by Parent no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, effective as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, the Company shall terminate or shall cause the termination of each U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution plan provided to current and former employees of the Company Entities (each, a “Company Qualified Plan”). In such event, prior to the Closing Date and thereafter (as applicable), the Company and Parent shall take any and all action as may be required, including amendments to a U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Parent Qualified Plan”), to permit each Continuing Employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) in cash or notes (representing plan loans from the Company Qualified Plan) in an amount equal to the eligible rollover distribution portion of the account balance distributable to such Continuing Employee from such Company Qualified Plan to the corresponding Parent Qualified Plan. If the Company Qualified Plan is terminated as described herein, the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in a Parent Qualified Plan as soon as practicable following the Closing Date.

(d) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, and contingent upon the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to the individuals set forth in Section 5.11(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter that fraction of the 2022 annual bonus target amount for each such individual set forth in Section 5.11(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the numerator of which is the number of days in 2022 that have elapsed through to and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is 365, less applicable Taxes and other withholdings; provided, however, that such individual remains employed by the Surviving Corporation or any Company Entity and has neither given nor received notice of termination through the Closing Date.

64

(e) Prior to and contingent upon the Closing, the Company shall take all steps necessary to terminate the Company’s New Executive Supplemental Savings Plan, the NSI Supplemental Retirement Plan and the NSI Technology Services Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan (collectively, the “Nonqualified Plans”) in accordance with the terms of the Nonqualified Plans and Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(ix)(B), such termination to become irrevocable upon the Closing. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to the participants in the Nonqualified Plans all vested benefits owing to them thereunder. Payment shall be made to each such participant in single lump sum in cash, less applicable Taxes and other withholdings, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, but in any event prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date.

(f) Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall be treated as an amendment of, or undertaking to amend, any Benefit Plan. The provisions of this Section 5.11 are solely for the benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.11, express or implied, shall confer upon any Company Service Provider or any Continuing Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof or any other Person, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or service or continued employment or service for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement or a right of any employee or beneficiary of such Company Service Provider, Continuing Employee or other Person under a Company Benefit Plan that such Company Service Provider, Continuing Employee or beneficiary or other Person would not otherwise have under the terms of that Company Benefit Plan.

The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with such Company Stockholder Litigation (and shall consider in good faith any such comments), subject to a customary joint defense agreement, but not control, the defense and settlement of any such Company Stockholder Litigation; provided, however, that the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, settle or compromise or consent to any settlement or compromise (or engage in any settlement negotiations concerning) any Company Stockholder Litigation without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 5.13 Transfer Taxes. Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay, or cause to be paid, all documentary, sales, use, real property transfer, registration, transfer, stamp, recording and similar Taxes, together with any related interest, penalties, fines, fees, additions to Tax or other additional amounts with respect thereto incurred in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and will file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns relating to the foregoing that are required to be filed by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

Section 8.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be one (1) and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including email or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) shall be effective as delivery of an original counterpart hereof.

Section 8.6 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with the documents and instruments referred to herein, the Limited Guarantee, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Clean Team Agreement, (a) are the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties related to the subject matter hereof and thereof (although any provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement conflicting with this Agreement shall be governed by this Agreement) and (b) are not intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies or Liabilities on any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except (i) as provided in Section 5.7(e), (ii) the provisions of Section 7.3(d)(iii), Section 8.1, this Section 8.6, Section 8.8, Section 8.9, Section 8.10 and Section 8.11 shall be enforceable by the Financing Sources and (iii) the last sentence of Section 5.4 relating to amendment of the Confidentiality Agreement shall be enforceable by Carlyle Investment Management, L.L.C.; provided, however, that, if the Effective Time occurs, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect.

Section 8.7 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction hereof is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties intend that the remedies and limitations thereon contained in this Agreement, including Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and Section 8.10, shall be construed as integral provisions of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that increases liability or obligations of any Party (or the Guarantor or any Financing Source) or any of its stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents hereunder or under the Equity Commitment Letter, the Limited Guarantee or the Debt Commitment Letter.

Section 8.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, covenants or agreements hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties, in whole or in part (whether by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that Parent and Merger Sub may by written notice to the Company (a) assign their rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate or (b) collaterally assign their

77

rights under this Agreement to any Financing Sources or any agent or collateral trustee for Financing Sources, but in the case of clause (a) or (b), no such assignment will relieve Parent or Merger Sub of their obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 8.9 Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) This Agreement, and all Actions and causes of action (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity), that may be based on this Agreement, arise out of this Agreement or relate hereto or the negotiation, execution, performance or subject matter hereof, shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed solely therein, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. For any Action or cause of action that may be based on this Agreement, arise out of this Agreement or relate hereto or the negotiation, execution, performance or subject matter hereof, except as set forth in Section 8.9(b), each Party (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, (ii) agrees that all such Actions and causes of action shall be heard and determined exclusively under the foregoing clause (i), (iii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such Actions or cause of action in such courts, (iv) waives any objection that any such court is an inconvenient forum or does not have jurisdiction over any Party and (v) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such Action or cause of action shall be effective if such process is given as a notice under Section 8.4. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION THAT MAY BE BASED ON THIS AGREEMENT, ARISE OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR RELATE HERETO (INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE FINANCING) OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, PERFORMANCE OR SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) no Party shall bring or support any Action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Commitment Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof) and (ii) each Party waives to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action in any such court. The Parties hereto further agree that all of the provisions of Section 8.9(a) related to waiver of jury trial shall apply to any Action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim referenced in this Section 8.9(b).

Section 8.10 Remedies.

(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision hereof was not performed under their specific terms or were otherwise breached by a Party and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that, at any time prior to the termination hereof under Article VII, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches hereof and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions hereof, the Limited Guarantee and the Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable in each case without proof of actual damages (and each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which each Party is entitled at Law or in equity. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 8.10(c), the Company shall have the right to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger, including to cause Parent to enforce the obligations of the Guarantor under the Equity Commitment Letter in order to cause the Equity Financing to be timely funded, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein. The Company, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Merger Sub further agree not to assert (i) that, except as provided in Section 8.10(b), a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason or (ii) that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance and payment of the Parent Termination Fee, under no circumstances shall (i) the Company be entitled to receive (A) both a grant of specific performance which results in the consummation of the Merger (including the funding of any portion of the Financing, whether under this Agreement or the Commitment Letters, or the payment of any portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration), on the one hand, and be awarded any monetary damages (including the Parent Termination Fee), on the other hand, or (B) subject to Section 7.3(d)(i), both payment of any monetary damages whatsoever, on the one hand, and payment of the Parent Termination Fee, on the other hand, or (ii) Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to receive both payment of any monetary damages whatsoever, on the one hand, and payment of the Company Termination Fee, on the other hand; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 8.10(b) shall limit the ability of (x) the Company to enforce and recover any amounts under the Reimbursement and Indemnification Obligations while simultaneously seeking or receiving any grant of specific performance or other equitable relief, payment of the Parent Termination Fee and any fees, costs and expenses owed by Parent under Section 7.3(d)(i) or (y) Parent or Merger Sub to enforce and recover payment of the Company Termination Fee and any fees, costs and expenses owed by the Company under Section 7.3(d)(i).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Parties specifically acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be entitled to any injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief or remedy to enforce the obligation of Parent or Merger Sub to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to cause Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this

79

Agreement, including to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 1.3, unless and until (i) all conditions in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing; provided that such conditions are then capable of being satisfied) at the time when the Closing would have been required to occur, (ii) the financing provided for by the Debt Commitment Letter has been funded or will be simultaneously funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, (iii) the Company has irrevocably notified Parent in writing that all conditions set forth in Section 6.3 have been satisfied or waived and the Company is ready, willing and able to consummate the Merger and (iv) Parent and Merger Sub fail to complete the Closing on the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 1.3.

Section 8.11 Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Limited Guarantee and the Equity Commitment Letter, (a) this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, may only be brought against the Persons who are expressly named as Parties hereto (and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Person), and no past, present or future Affiliate, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or Representative of any Party has any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Parties or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) the Parties agree that none of the Financing Sources will have any liability to the Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, and none of the Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives shall have any rights or claims against any of the Financing Sources, in each case, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall affect, modify or impair the rights, claims or remedies of Parent, Merger Sub or its Affiliates (including Parent’s post-Closing Subsidiaries), or the parties to the Commitment Letters (or definitive documentation with respect to the Financing), against the Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter or such definitive documentation with respect to the Debt Financing, or otherwise in connection with, the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or the performance of any services thereunder.

Section 8.12 Publicity. Parent and the Company shall develop a joint communications plan and each Party, from the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the Closing Date or the date of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, shall (a) ensure that all press releases and other public statements or communications with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby are consistent with such joint communications plan and (b) unless otherwise restricted by applicable Law, consult with, and obtain the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of, each other before issuing any press release or, to the extent practicable, otherwise making any public statement or communication with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition to the foregoing, from the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the Closing Date or the date of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, except to the extent disclosed in or consistent with the Proxy Statement in accordance with

80

the provisions of Section 5.6, neither Parent nor the Company shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or disclosure concerning any other Party or any other Party’s business, financial condition or results of operations without the consent of such other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Parties agrees that, promptly following the date hereof, Parent and the Company shall issue a mutually acceptable initial joint press release announcing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section 8.12 shall not apply to (a) any public statement or disclosure by the Company relating to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal, which will be governed by Section 5.2, (b) any other public statement or disclosure made by the Company from and after any Change of Recommendation, (c) any public statement or disclosure made in connection with any Action between or among the Parties regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (d) any communications made contained in confidential materials provided by Parent or its Affiliates or Representatives in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing in accordance with Section 5.8, and nothing in this Section 8.12 shall prevent Parent or its Affiliates from reporting or disclosing, on a confidential basis, to any of their actual or prospective limited partners or other actual or prospective investors, general information regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, in connection with their fundraising and reporting activities in the ordinary course of business, in each case, subject to the Confidentiality Agreement or customary confidentiality obligations or undertakings with respect to non-public information.

Section 8.13 Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred by the Parties shall be borne solely by the Party that has incurred such fees and expenses, except as otherwise provided herein (including that Parent shall be responsible for 100% of the filing fee under the HSR Act and any filing fees for similar Filings or notices under Antitrust Laws or regulations).

Section 8.14 Construction.

(a) No Strict Construction.

Each Party has participated in the drafting and negotiation hereof. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions hereof.

(b) Time. When calculating the period of time prior to which, within which or after which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant hereto, (i) the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and (ii) if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.
