WHEREAS, Parent desires to acquire the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in furtherance of the acquisition of the Company by Parent, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Merger Sub has agreed to commence a cash tender offer (as it may be extended and amended from time to time as permitted under, or required by, this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at a price per share of $54.87 (such amount, or any higher amount per share of Common Stock paid pursuant to the Offer in accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer Price”), to the seller in cash, without interest;

WHEREAS, it is proposed that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement following the consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub shall, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger and pursuant to which each share of Common Stock that is not (a) validly tendered and irrevocably accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, (b) a Dissenting Share or (c) an Excluded Share will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price;

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Merger shall be governed by and effected under Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, be consummated as soon as practicable following the consummation (as defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL) of the Offer;

WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Offer and the Merger and to prescribe certain conditions to the Offer and the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

Section 1.1The Offer.

(a)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including Article VII), as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in any event no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, commence, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the Offer at the Offer Price. The obligations of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment, and pay for, any shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted under this Agreement and applicable Law) of the conditions set forth in Annex I (as they may be amended from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer Conditions”).

(b)The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that describes the terms of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement, including the Offer Conditions. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right, at any time, to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition and the Termination Condition (as defined in Annex I)), to increase the Offer Price or to modify the terms of the Offer, in each case only in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that, without the prior written

consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall (i) reduce the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price or change the form of consideration payable pursuant to the Offer, (iii) change, amend, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (iv) add to the Offer Conditions or impose any other conditions or requirements on the Offer, (v) change, amend, modify or supplement any existing Offer Condition in a manner that is adverse in any respect to the holders of Common Stock or that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the Offer or the Merger (except to effect an extension to the Offer to the extent expressly permitted by this Section 1.1 or to validly terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article VII) or impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Offer, (vi) except as otherwise required or expressly permitted by Section 1.1(d), extend or otherwise change, amend or modify the Expiration Time, (vii) provide for any “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, (viii) terminate the Offer or (ix) otherwise change, amend, modify or supplement the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of Common Stock or in any manner that delays, interferes with, hinders or impairs the consummation of the Offer. Subject to Section 1.1(h), the Offer may not be terminated or withdrawn prior to its scheduled Expiration Time (as extended and re-extended in accordance with Section 1.1(d)), unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII.

(c)The initial expiration date of the Offer shall be at the time that is one (1) minute following 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) after the date the Offer is first commenced (such initial expiration date and time of the Offer, the “Initial Expiration Time”) and, if the Offer has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.1(d), the Offer shall expire at the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later expiration date and time to which the Offer has been so extended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Expiration Time”).

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Article VII, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer from time to time as follows:

(i)for the minimum period as required by any applicable Law or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof or the Applicable Exchange or the staff thereof, applicable to the Offer, the Schedule 14D-9 or the Offer Documents; provided, however, that Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer to a date later than the Termination Date;

(ii)if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, the Company has delivered written notice to Parent in accordance with Section 5.3(e) or Section 5.3(f) that the Company intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or terminate this Agreement due to its receipt of a Superior Proposal or the occurrence of an Intervening Event, the Expiration Time shall be extended on one or more occasions so that the Expiration Time does not occur earlier than the close of business on the second (2nd) Business Day after the applicable

notice period in Section 5.3(e) or Section 5.3(f) has expired; provided, however, that Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer to a date later than the Termination Date;

(iii)if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, the Company brings or shall have brought any Legal Action in accordance with Section 8.15 to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, the Expiration Time shall be extended (A) for the period during which such action is pending or (B) by such other time period established by the Governmental Authority presiding over such action, as the case may be; provided, however, that Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer to a date later than the Termination Date; or

(iv)if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, any of the Offer Conditions (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Offer Closing) has not either been (A) satisfied or (B) waived by Parent and Merger Sub (to the extent such waiver is permitted under this Agreement and applicable Law), then Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer on one (1) or more occasions in consecutive periods of five (5) Business Days each (with each such period to end at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last Business Day of such period) (or such other duration as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company) in order to permit the satisfaction of such Offer Condition or Conditions; provided, that if at the otherwise scheduled Expiration Time, all of the Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition and the other Offer Conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Offer Closing) shall have been satisfied or waived, Merger Sub may, and Merger Sub shall upon receipt of the Company’s written request, extend the Offer for up to four (4) occasions, in the aggregate, in consecutive periods of five (5) Business Days each (or for such longer period as may be agreed in writing by Parent and the Company); provided, further, that if at the otherwise scheduled Expiration Time, all of the Offer Conditions (other than the Inside Date Condition and the other Offer Conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Offer Closing) shall have been satisfied or waived, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day after the Inside Date; provided, further, that Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer to a date later than the Termination Date.

(e)Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to, extend the Offer (i) in any manner except (A) as expressly required or permitted pursuant to Section 1.1(d) or (B) with the prior written consent of the Company or (ii) in any event beyond the Termination Date.

(f)On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including satisfaction or waiver of all of the Offer Conditions (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Offer Closing), (i) prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) immediately following the Expiration Time, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, consummate the Offer and irrevocably accept for payment (the time of acceptance for payment, the “Offer Acceptance Time”) all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and (ii) at or as promptly as practicable following the Offer Acceptance Time (but in any event within three

(3) Business Days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) thereafter) Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, pay for all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. Parent shall provide (or cause to be provided) to Merger Sub, on a timely basis, all of the funds that are necessary to purchase any shares of Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and shall cause Merger Sub to fulfill, on a timely basis, all of Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement.

(g)The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash, without interest, to each holder of each share of Common Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

(h)Unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Company. In the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII, Merger Sub shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) following such termination irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto. If the Offer or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Agreement, Merger Sub shall promptly return, or cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to promptly return, all tendered shares of Common Stock to the registered holders thereof in accordance with applicable Law.

(i)Subject to the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 5.1, the Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately and proportionately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change with respect to the Common Stock occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and at or prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, and such adjustment to the Offer Price shall provide to the holders of shares of Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

(j)On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”), which shall contain the Offer to Purchase and a related letter of transmittal, a summary advertisement and other appropriate ancillary offer documents (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any exhibits, supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) disseminate the Offer Documents to the holders of the Common Stock, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Parent or Parent’s legal counsel upon request all information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by

reference in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and each of Parent and Merger Sub shall take all steps necessary and use all reasonable efforts to promptly amend or supplement the Offer Documents and to cause the Offer Documents as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of the Common Stock, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents each time before any such document is filed with the SEC, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments proposed by the Company and its counsel. Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel with (A) copies of any written comments or other communications (and shall inform the Company and its counsel of any oral comments or other communications) that Parent or Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff or other Governmental Authorities with respect to the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications (whether written or oral) and (B) a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the proposed response of Parent and Merger Sub to any such comments and to provide comments on that proposed response (which Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration thereto), including by participating with Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC or other Governmental Authorities to the extent such participation is not prohibited by the SEC or other Governmental Authorities.

Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish

or otherwise make available to the Company or the Company’s legal counsel upon request all information concerning Parent, Merger Sub and the Guarantor required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly correct any information supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company shall take all steps necessary and use all reasonable efforts to promptly amend or supplement the Schedule 14D-9 and to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of the Common Stock, in each case, as soon as and to the extent required by applicable Law. Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 each time before it is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments proposed by Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel. The Company shall provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel with (i) copies of any written comments or other communications (and shall inform Parent, Merger Sub and its counsel of any oral comments or other communications) that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff or other Governmental Authorities with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications (whether written or oral) and (ii) unless the Company has received after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date of mailing a Takeover Proposal that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal (as contemplated in Section 5.3(b)) or the Company Board has made an Adverse Recommendation Change (in which case the remainder of this clause (ii) shall not apply to the extent relating to such Takeover Proposal or Adverse Recommendation Change), a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Company’s proposed response to any such comments and to provide comments on that proposed response (which the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration thereto), including by participating with the Company or its counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC or other Governmental Authorities to the extent such participation is not prohibited by the SEC or other Governmental Authorities.

Unless the Company has received after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date of mailing a Takeover Proposal that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal (as contemplated in Section 5.3(b)) or the Company Board has made an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company and Parent shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate the mailing of the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 so they can be included together in a joint mailing to the holders of Common Stock.

The Merger shall become effective when the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such other subsequent date or time as Parent and the Company may agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the “Effective Time”).

(a)Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation.

(c)Conversion of Common Stock.

(i)Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares, and other than Company Restricted Shares, which shall be governed by Section 2.3(b) below) shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”) payable to the holders thereof, without interest, in accordance with Section 2.2, except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Law.

(ii)As of the Effective Time, all shares of Common Stock that have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled automatically and shall be extinguished and cease to exist, and the holders of (A) certificates which immediately before the Effective Time represented such shares (the “Certificates”) or (B) shares represented by book-entry immediately before the Effective Time (the “Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to those shares, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2.

Section 2.2Surrender of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

(a)Paying Agent. Prior to the expiration of the Offer, Parent shall (i) appoint a bank or trust company, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of effecting payments to the holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i), and (ii) enter into a paying agent agreement, in customary form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, with such Paying Agent for the receipt and payment of such aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement. Parent shall be responsible for all Expenses of the Paying Agent.

The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(c)Payment Procedures.

(i)Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, but no later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate representing one or more shares of Common Stock converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form, specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such holder’s shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of Certificates to the Paying Agent and (B) instructions for surrendering such Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

(ii)Surrender of Shares. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and any other documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive, and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay in exchange therefor, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the number of shares formerly evidenced by that Certificate less any required withholding of Taxes. Any Certificates so surrendered shall be canceled immediately. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any amount payable upon surrender of Certificates.

(iii)Unregistered Transferees. If any Merger Consideration is to be paid and issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, then the Merger Consideration may be paid or issued to such a transferee so long as (A) the surrendered Certificate shall be properly endorsed and presented to the Paying Agent or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and is accompanied by all documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent to evidence and effect such transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment or issuance (x) pays any applicable transfer Taxes or (y) establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent and the Paying Agent that all such transfer Taxes have already been paid or are not applicable.

(d)Treatment of Book-Entry Shares. No holder of record of Book-Entry Shares shall be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of such Book-Entry Shares. In lieu thereof, such holder of record shall be entitled to receive, and the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time to each such holder of record as of the Effective Time), an amount of U.S. dollars equal to the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration, without interest and less any applicable Tax withholding, to which such holder is entitled hereunder, and such Book-Entry Shares shall forthwith be canceled. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(e)Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. Notwithstanding the requirements to surrender a Certificate contained in Section 2.2(c), if any Certificate shall have 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 reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation, the execution and delivery by such Person of a customary indemnity agreement to provide indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay the Merger Consideration to such Person in respect of the shares of Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

(f)No Further Transfers. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(g)Required Withholding. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, any of their applicable Subsidiaries, any depository agent used by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the Offer and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration and any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement (including any amounts payable under Section 2.3 with respect to the cancellation of Company Equity Awards) such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code, or any applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, those amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made for all purposes under this Agreement. Each of Parent, the Company and their respective Affiliates shall promptly notify the other parties if it becomes aware of any such withholding obligation (other than in connection with any (i) compensatory payments, (ii) backup withholding or (iii) withholding under Section 1445 of the Code), and each of the applicable parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to obtain any available reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding.

(h)No Liability. None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of cash from the Payment Fund properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate has not been surrendered prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration

in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such date become the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designated affiliate, free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representative previously entitled thereto, subject to the claims of any former holder of shares of Common Stock entitled to payment of Merger Consideration who has not theretofore complied with this Article II.

(i)Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent, as applicable, shall invest the Payment Fund as directed by Parent; provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or in 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 shall have a maturity exceeding three (3) months. Any such investment shall be for the benefit, and at the risk, of Parent, and any interest or other income resulting from such investment shall be for the benefit of Parent; provided that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect amounts payable to the holders of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement (including in the Offer or the Merger). To the extent there are losses or the Payment Fund for any reason (including Dissenting Shares losing their status as such) is less than the level required to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement, Parent shall promptly provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly provide, additional funds, in cash, to the Payment Fund for the benefit of such holders of Common Stock in the amount of any such losses or other amounts necessary to satisfy the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation to make prompt payments of the Merger Consideration.

(j)Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund (and any interest thereon) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Paying Agent to Parent upon demand. Thereafter, any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who has not complied with this Article II shall look only to Parent, which shall remain responsible for payment of the applicable Merger Consideration.

Section 2.3Company Equity Awards.

(a)As of the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately before the Effective Time, whether or not then exercisable or vested, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of that Company Option, shall be canceled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation promptly following the Effective Time an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Option Consideration multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately before the Effective Time; provided that any such Company Option with a per-share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be canceled for no consideration. “Option

Consideration” means the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price of the applicable Company Option.

(b)As of the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Share that is outstanding immediately before the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of that Company Restricted Share, shall be vested and all restrictions thereon shall lapse in full as of immediately before the Effective Time, and each such Company Restricted Share shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash, without interest, equal in value to the Merger Consideration.

(c)As of the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately before the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of that Company RSU, shall be vested and all restrictions thereon shall lapse in full as of immediately before the Effective Time, and each such Company RSU shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash, without interest, equal in value to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately before the Effective Time.

(d)As of the Effective Time, each Company PSU that is outstanding immediately before the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of that Company PSU, shall be vested and all restrictions thereon shall lapse for such Company PSU as of immediately before the Effective Time, and each such Company PSU shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash, without interest, equal in value to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company PSU immediately before the Effective Time (assuming that all applicable performance metrics for performance periods that have not been completed as of immediately before the Effective Time had been achieved (on a cumulative basis and not on an individual performance year basis) at the greater of target level and actual performance measured through the Effective Time, with actual performance determined by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) in good faith and after reasonable consultation with Parent and with the financial performance metrics in respect of any fiscal year commencing after the 2022 fiscal year being deemed achieved at the target level).

(e)The payment of the amounts set forth in Section 2.3(a), Section 2.3(b), Section 2.3(c) and Section 2.3(d) in respect of the Company Equity Awards shall be reduced by all income, payroll and employment Tax and other withholdings required under the Code or any applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that any amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, those amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the holder of that Company Equity Award for all purposes under this Agreement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts so that the Company Equity Awards shall be canceled and the Company Equity Plan shall terminate at the Effective Time.

(f)Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, at all times from and after the Effective Time, maintain sufficient liquid funds to satisfy their obligations to holders of Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Section 2.3.

(g)As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time and in any event not later than the third (3rd) Business Day thereafter, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay through its payroll system (i) to each applicable holder of a Company Option, in such amount due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.3(a) in respect of such Company Option, (ii) to each applicable holder of a Company Restricted Share, in such amount due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.3(b) in respect of such Company Restricted Share, (iii) to each applicable holder of a Company RSU, in such amount due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.3(c) in respect of such Company RSU and (iv) to each applicable holder of a Company PSU, in such amount due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.3(d) in respect of such Company PSU. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such payment cannot be made through such payroll system, then the Surviving Corporation will issue a check for such payment promptly following the Effective Time and in any event no later than the third (3rd) Business Day thereafter (including all accrued dividends and other distributions (including dividend equivalents) in respect of all Company Equity Awards with a record date prior to the Effective Time that have been authorized by the Company as permitted by this Agreement and that remain unpaid at the Effective Time).

(h)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent a payment pursuant in this Section 2.3 would trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall be made on the earliest date that payment would not trigger such Tax or penalty.

Section 2.4Dissenting Shares.

(a)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.4), any shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands the appraisal of such shares in accordance with, and complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(c), but instead shall entitle the respective holders thereof only to such rights as are granted to them pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(a), if after the Effective Time any holder of Dissenting Shares effectively withdraws or loses such appraisal rights (through failure to perfect such appraisal rights or otherwise) or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any Dissenting Shares, then such shares shall be treated as if they had never been Dissenting Shares and had been converted automatically at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.

(c)The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Common Stock, any withdrawals or attempted

withdrawals of such demands and any other instrument served on the Company pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, in each case received by the Company prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not offer to make or make any voluntary payment with respect to any such demands for appraisal, or compromise or settle or offer to compromise or settle, any such demands for appraisal, or approve any withdrawal of such demands, or commit or agree to do any of the foregoing, in each case without the prior written consent of Parent.

Section 4.7Financing.

(a)Parent has delivered to the Company true, correct and complete copies of (i) a fully executed commitment letter dated on or about the date of this Agreement (together with all exhibits, annexes, schedules and term sheets attached thereto and as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 5.10, the “Equity Commitment Letter”) from the Guarantor providing for an equity investment in Parent, subject to the terms and conditions therein, in the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”) and (ii) a fully executed commitment letter dated on or about the date of this Agreement from the Lender Related Parties party thereto, together with true, correct and complete copies of any related executed fee letters (provided, that, solely with respect to any such fee letters, the fee amounts, fee caps and other economic and “market flex” and/or “securities demand” terms (none of which would adversely affect the availability or amount of, impose additional or new conditions or requirements on (or expand or modify any existing conditions or requirements), affect the enforceability or termination of, impair the validity of, or prevent or impair, impede, hinder or delay the consummation of the Debt Financing at the Offer Closing or the Closing or reduce the amount of the Debt Financing below the amount required to satisfy the Required Amount) may be redacted in a customary manner from such true, correct and complete copies) (collectively and including all exhibits, annexes, schedules, supplements and term sheets attached thereto and as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced, substituted, terminated or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 5.10, collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Letters”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions therein, the Lender Related Parties party thereto have committed to lend the aggregate amount of the debt financing in the amounts set forth therein (being collectively referred to as the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, collectively referred to as the “Financing”). The Equity Commitment Letters expressly provide, and will continue to expressly provide, that the Company is a third-party beneficiary thereof. Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge and agree that their obligation to consummate the

Transactions are not contingent on or otherwise subject to or conditioned on Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates obtaining any financing, the availability, grant, provision or extension of any financing to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates or the consummation of any financing arrangement by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates.

(b)As of the date of this Agreement, the Financing Letters are in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Financing Letters has been amended, restated or modified, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, no such amendment, restatement or modification is contemplated, and none of the respective obligations and commitments contained in the Financing Letters have been withdrawn, reduced, rescinded, amended, restated, terminated or otherwise modified or repudiated in any respect and no such withdrawal, reduction, rescission, amendment, restatement, termination or other modification or repudiation is contemplated by Parent or Merger Sub or, the Knowledge of Parent, any other party to the Financing Letters; provided, that the existence or exercise of any “market flex” provisions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter shall not be deemed to constitute a modification or amendment of the Debt Commitment Letter. The Financing Letters in the form so delivered are (i) legal, valid and binding obligations of Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto and (ii) enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto, in each case subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. Assuming the Financing is funded or invested in accordance with the Financing Letters on the Closing Date and the Closing is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the aggregate net proceeds contemplated by the Financing Letters (after netting out applicable Expenses, original issue discount and similar premiums and charges and after giving effect to the maximum amount of “flex” (including original issue discount flex) provided for under the Debt Financing), will be sufficient, in the aggregate, for Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to pay the aggregate Offer Price and Merger Consideration (and any repayment or refinancing of debt contemplated by this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Debt Commitment Letter) and any other amounts required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the consummation of the Transactions on the Closing Date (including all amounts payable in respect of Company Equity Awards under this Agreement) and to pay all related Expenses payable by them in connection with the Transactions (such amount, after giving effect to any increase in the Equity Financing, collectively, the “Required Amount”). As of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub is, nor, to the Knowledge of Parent, any other party to any of the Financing Letters is, in default in the performance, observation or fulfillment of any obligation, covenant or condition contained in any Financing Letter and no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to (A) constitute or result in a default under or breach on the part of Parent or Merger Sub or, to the Knowledge of Parent, any other parties thereto under the Financing Letters, (B) constitute or result in a failure by Parent or Merger Sub or any other party to the Financing Letters to satisfy, or any material delay in satisfaction, of any condition or other contingency to the full funding of the Financing under the Financing Letters or (C) otherwise result in any portion of the Financing being unavailable on a timely basis, and in any event, not later than the Offer Closing, such that Parent would not have sufficient cash proceeds to pay the Required Amount. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Offer and the

Merger (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Offer Closing or the Closing, but subject to such conditions being able to be satisfied), neither Parent nor Merger Sub have any reason to believe (both before and after giving effect to any “flex” provisions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter) that it will be unable to satisfy, on a timely basis, and in any event not later than the Offer Closing, any term or condition of the Financing Letters required to be satisfied by it or that the Required Amount committed pursuant to the Financing Letters will not be available on the Offer Closing and the Closing Date. There are no side letters or other Contracts or other agreements, arrangements or understandings of any kind (other than customary engagement and fee credit letters with respect to the offering of debt securities referenced in the Debt Commitment Letter or those that would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect the availability of any portion of the Required Amount and which do not adversely impact the conditionality or amount of the Financing) to which Parent or any of its Affiliates (including Merger Sub) is a party related to the funding of the full Required Amount of the Financing, other than as expressly contained in the Financing Letters delivered to the Company prior to the date of this Agreement. Parent and/or Merger Sub has fully paid (or cause to be paid) any and all commitment fees or other fees or deposits required by the Financing Letters and/or the Financing, in each case, that are payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement and will continue to pay in full any such amounts required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Financing Letters and/or the Financing as and when they become due and payable on or prior to the Offer Closing and the Closing Date. The only conditions precedent (including the market “flex” provisions) related to the obligations of the Guarantors to fund the full amount of the Equity Financing and the Lender Related Parties to fund the full amount of the Debt Financing are those expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter and the Debt Commitment Letter, respectively.

Section 4.8Solvency. None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Guarantor is entering into this Agreement with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries (which, for purposes of this Section 4.8, shall include the Company and its Subsidiaries). Assuming (i) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Offer and the Merger and (ii) the accuracy, in all material respects, of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III (for this purpose, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct without giving effect to any materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect qualifiers contained therein) and after giving effect to the Transactions and the payment of the aggregate Offer Price and Merger Consideration, any other repayment or refinancing of debt contemplated in this Agreement or the Financing Letters (including any alternative financing) and payment of the Required Amount, the Surviving Corporation, on a consolidated basis, will be Solvent as of the Offer Acceptance Time and as of the Effective Time and immediately after the consummation of the applicable Transactions.

Section 4.9Litigation. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no Legal Actions pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against Parent or any of its Affiliates that would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no Orders outstanding against Parent or any of its Affiliates that would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10Absence of Arrangements with Management. Other than this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, there are no Contracts or agreements, arrangements or understandings (whether written, oral or otherwise) among Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates (or any other Person on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates), on the one hand, and any member of the Company’s management or the Company Board or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, relating in any way to the Company (including relating to compensation and retention of the Company’s management), the Transactions or the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.

Recommendation within five (5) Business Days after a written request by Parent to do so (or, if earlier, by the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled date of the Offer Acceptance Time) (it being understood that the Company will have no obligation to make such reaffirmation on more than one occasion with respect to any such Takeover Proposal (it being understood that the Company will also, if so requested by Parent, make one reaffirmation (but no more than one reaffirmation) on each amendment of each such Takeover Proposal)) (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve, recommend, or enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3(b)).

(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, and subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 5.3, in response to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal received by the Company Board after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3, that has not been withdrawn and that the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may (x) make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (y) provided that the Company and its Subsidiaries are not in breach of this Section 5.3 in any material respect, terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 7.4(a), or authorize, resolve, agree or propose publicly to take any such action, if all of the following conditions are met:

(i)the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent four (4) days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) state that it has received a Superior Proposal, (2) attach the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the Person or group making the Superior Proposal) or a copy of the Alternative Acquisition Agreement and any other material documents related to the Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms (including the form, amount and timing of payment of consideration) or any other material term or condition of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new two (2) day period) and (3) state that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company Board has determined to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.4(a) in order to enter into the Alternative Acquisition Agreement, as applicable, and (B) prior to making such an Adverse Recommendation Change or determining to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.4(a), as applicable, made itself or its Representatives available during such notice period to discuss potential amendments to this Agreement proposed by Parent that could result in the Alternative Acquisition Agreement ceasing to constitute a Superior Proposal; and

(ii)the Company Board shall have determined in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms timely proposed by Parent, such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change or to so terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.4(a), as applicable, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, upon the occurrence of any Intervening Event, the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change, or authorize, resolve, agree or propose publicly to take any such action, only if all of the following conditions are met:

(i)the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent four (4) days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Intervening Event and the basis on which the Company Board intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change (it being understood and agreed that any material change to the facts or circumstances of such Intervening Event shall require a new notice and a new two (2) day period) and (2) state that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company Board has determined to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and (B) prior to making such an Adverse Recommendation Change, made itself or its Representatives available during such notice period to discuss potential amendments to this Agreement proposed by Parent that could result in the Intervening Event no longer reasonably being expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(ii)the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that in light of such Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms proposed by Parent, the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g)Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through their respective Representatives, from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company any position contemplated by Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or a factually accurate public statement by the Company that describes a Takeover Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto (it being agreed that any such communication or statement shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change or give rise to a Parent termination right pursuant to Section 7.3(b)) or (iii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company that is required by applicable Law; provided that the Company Board shall not effect an Adverse Recommendation Change except in accordance with Section 5.3(e) or (f).

(h)The Company agrees that in the event (i) any of its officers or its officers’ direct reports or its directors or (ii) any investment banker or financial advisor retained by, and acting on behalf of the Company, takes any action that, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.3, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.3.

Section 5.4Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a)For a period of not less than one (1) year following the Effective Time (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to, provide to each individual who, immediately prior to the

Effective Time is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Employee”) (i) a salary or hourly wage rate that is not less than that provided to such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) target incentive pay opportunities, including bonus and commission opportunities, but not including equity and equity-based awards, that are no less favorable than those provided to such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) other compensation and employee benefits (excluding equity and equity-based awards which will remain discretionary) that are no less favorable in the aggregate, determined on an individual basis, than those provided to such Employee under the compensation and benefit plans, programs, policies, agreements and arrangements of the Company and its Subsidiaries in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. This Section 5.4(a) shall not apply to Employees whose terms and conditions of employment are governed by a collective bargaining agreement or other labor contract, in which case the terms of the applicable collective bargaining agreement or other labor contract shall apply.

(b)The pool for the Company’s short-term incentive plan for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 (the “FY 2022 STIP”) shall be funded based on the greater of target and actual performance for such fiscal year, and FY 2022 STIP payments for such fiscal year shall be determined in the Company’s ordinary course of business consistent with past practice for each participant in the FY 2022 STIP as of the last day of such fiscal year and paid by the Company (or, following the Effective Time, by Parent or the Surviving Corporation) on or before September 15, 2022.

(c)Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of their respective Affiliates to, honor all Company Benefit Plans (including all severance, change of control and similar plans and agreements, including the arrangements set forth on Section 5.4(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter) in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to any amendment or termination thereof that may be permitted by such Company Benefit Plans and except as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the duration of the Continuation Period or, if applicable to the Employee, the remaining term of any individual employment, severance or separation agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (if longer), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or their respective Affiliates to, provide each Employee who suffers a termination of employment under circumstances that would have given the Employee a right to severance payments and benefits under the applicable severance policy or severance plan (including the CDK Global, Inc. Third Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Plan for Corporate Officers and the CDK Global, Inc. Amended and Restated Corporate Officer Severance Plan) of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, or any individual employment, severance or separation agreement or other arrangement in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement (each, a “Company Severance Plan”) with severance payments and benefits no less favorable than those that would have been provided to such Employee under any Company Severance Plan, subject to the Employee’s timely satisfaction of a release of claims requirement.

(d)For all purposes under all employee benefit plans of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Affiliates providing benefits to any Employee after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Employee shall receive full credit for such

Employee’s years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries before the Effective Time (including predecessor or acquired entities or any other entities for which the Company and its Subsidiaries have given credit for prior service), to the same extent that such Employee was entitled, prior to the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan (except to the extent that such credit would result in a duplication of accrual of benefits). In addition, where applicable, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) at the Effective Time, each Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in each New Plan to the extent that such waiting time was satisfied under a similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”); (ii) Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations and actively-at-work requirements of each New Plan to be waived or satisfied for such Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent waived or satisfied under the analogous Old Plan as of the Effective Time; and (iii) Parent shall cause all eligible expenses incurred by each Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date on which such Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(e)In the case of any Employee for whom the Company or its Subsidiaries tracks vacation accrual (which shall not include any Employee who is eligible for “unlimited” vacation or similar paid time off except as required by applicable Law), with respect to any earned but unused vacation or other paid time off to which such Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation or other paid time off policy or individual agreement or other arrangement applicable to such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Vacation/PTO Policy”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to, (i) allow such Employee to use such earned vacation or other paid time off in accordance with the Vacation/PTO Policy and (ii) if any Employee’s employment terminates during the Continuation Period under circumstances entitling the Employee to severance pay under the Company Severance Plan, pay the Employee, in cash, an amount equal to the value of the earned vacation or other paid time off.

(f)Nothing in this Section 5.4, whether express or implied, shall confer upon any current or former employee of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, any rights or remedies including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.4. No provision of this Section 5.4 is intended to modify, amend or create any employee benefit plan of the Company, Parent, Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 5.5Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, in each case to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and the Company Organizational Documents, (i) indemnify,

defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to Damages (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and Expenses (including those of legal counsel) in connection with any Legal Action (including as may be criminal, civil, administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on, pertaining to or arising out of, in whole or in part, (A) the fact that an Indemnitee is or was a director (including in any capacity as a member of any board committee), officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or was acting in such capacity, or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or taken at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case under clause (A) or (B), at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Legal Action (including as may be criminal, civil, administrative or investigative) relating, in whole or in part, to the Transactions as well as any actions taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries with respect thereto (including any disposition of assets of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries that is alleged to have rendered any of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries insolvent) or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or expense advancement right of any Indemnitee), (ii) promptly pay to each Indemnitee any Expenses (including those of legal counsel) as incurred in defending, serving as a witness with respect to or otherwise participating with respect to any Claim in advance of the final disposition of any such Claim (and without requiring a preliminary determination of entitlement to indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation); provided, that, if required by the DGCL, the Surviving Corporation’s organizational documents or any applicable indemnification agreement, such Indemnitee shall provide a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee is not permitted to be indemnified under applicable Law and (iii) assume all obligations of the Company and such Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from Liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the Company Organizational Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in any agreement in existence as of the date of this Agreement providing for indemnification between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnitee, each of which shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms (it being agreed that after the Closing any such rights applicable to any of the officers or directors of the Company shall be mandatory rather than permissive, if applicable), and Parent shall and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to perform such obligations thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent, from and after the Effective Time, shall cause, unless otherwise required by Law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Company Organizational Documents, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely in any respect affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees.

(b)In the event of any Legal Action (including as may be administrative or investigative) related to the acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.5 (each, a “Claim”) (i) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnitee and its insurer in the defense of any such Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect thereto in any Claim pending or threatened in writing to which any Indemnitee is a party, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an effective and enforceable unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all Liability arising out of such Claim or the Indemnitee otherwise consents thereto in writing.

(c)Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to purchase a “tail” or “runoff” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such Person currently (and any additional Persons who prior to the Effective Time become) covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms that in all respects, including with respect to coverage, conditions, retentions, deductibles and amounts, are no less favorable for the Company and the Indemnitees covered by such existing policies than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement for the six (6) year period following the Closing (and until such later date as of which any Claim commenced during such six (6) year period shall have been finally disposed of) from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance and at a price not to exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Premium Cap”). If the Company or Parent obtains prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies prior to the Effective Time in accordance with this Section 5.5(c), the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, without any modifications, for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder. If the Company fails to purchase such “tail” or “runoff” policy prior to Closing, then either (i) Parent may purchase such “tail” or “runoff” policy on behalf of the Company or the Surviving Corporation or (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain an officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms that in all respects, including with respect to coverage, conditions, retentions, deductibles and amounts, are no less favorable for the Company and the Indemnitees covered by such existing policies than those of such policy in effect as of the date of this Agreement for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time (and until such later date as of which any Claim commenced during such six (6) year period shall have been finally disposed of) from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance; provided, further, that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 5.5(c)(ii), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the Premium Cap and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed

three hundred percent (300%) of the Premium Cap, then Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in Parent or the Surviving Corporation’s good faith judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the Premium Cap.

(d)The covenants contained in this Section 5.5 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnitees and their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of, or in substitution for, any other rights to which an Indemnitee is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Parent hereby agrees that the Surviving Corporation is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Indemnitees are primary and any obligation of such other Persons to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any such Indemnitee are secondary). The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.5 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.5 applies unless (i) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (ii) the affected Indemnitee shall have previously and expressly consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.5 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.5). The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive the Offer Closing and the Closing and are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, each Indemnitee and his or her successors, heirs or legal representatives. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable documented attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnitee and his or her successors, heirs and legal representatives in enforcing its indemnity and other rights under this Section 5.5.

(e)In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall take all necessary action so that the successors or assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5.

(f)Nothing in this Agreement 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 with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.5 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(g)Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 5.5 shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that if any Claim (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is brought against an Indemnitee on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 5.5 shall continue in effect until the full and final resolution of such Claim.

Section 5.6Reasonable Best Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Law, each of the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its 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 ensure that, as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the Termination

Date, the Offer Conditions and the conditions set forth in Article VI are satisfied and to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including by preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents. The terms of this Section 5.6 shall not limit the rights of the Company set forth in Section 5.3.

Section 5.7Consents; Filings; Further Action.

(a)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Law, each of the parties to this Agreement shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly (i) obtain all approvals, consents, registrations, waivers, permits, authorizations, orders or other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or other Person necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions, (ii) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and (iii) defend or contest in good faith any Legal Action brought by a third party that could otherwise prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation of the Transactions, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iii), other than with respect to filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents, approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations relating to Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws, which are dealt with in Section 5.7(c) and Section 5.7(d); provided, however, that in no event shall any party hereto or any of its Subsidiaries be required to pay prior to the Effective Time any fee, penalty or other consideration or otherwise make any accommodation, commitment or incur any Liability or obligation to any third-party to obtain any consent or approval required for the consummation of the Transactions under any Contract.

(b)In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement shall each use its reasonable best efforts to (i) take all action necessary to ensure that no Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to any of the Transactions and refrain from taking any actions that would cause the applicability of such Laws and (ii) if the restrictions of any Takeover Law become applicable to any of the Transactions, take all action necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise lawfully minimize the effect of such Takeover Law on the Transactions.

(c)Each of the parties hereto agrees: (i) to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act and a filing pursuant to the Competition Act with respect to the Transactions within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement (and all filings or notifications with respect to any other Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws as promptly as practicable); (ii) to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and any other applicable Antitrust and Foreign Investment Law; and (iii) to promptly take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all clearances and consents under the HSR Act and any other such Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws that may be required by any Governmental Authority, in each case with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions as soon as

reasonably practicable and in any event prior to the Termination Date. Parent shall not consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the Transactions at the behest of any Governmental Authority without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall promptly take all actions necessary to secure the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and resolve any objections asserted with respect to the Transactions under the Xxxxxxx Act, the Competition Act or any other applicable Law (including any other Antitrust and Foreign Investment Law) raised by any Governmental Authority, in order to prevent the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted or terminated, any Law or Order that would prevent, prohibit, restrict or delay the consummation of the Transactions and to cause the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event prior to the Termination Date, including (x) (A) selling, licensing, divesting or disposing of or holding separate any entities, assets or businesses of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), (B) terminating, amending or assigning existing relationships or contractual rights or obligations of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), (C) changing or modifying any course of conduct regarding future operations of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), (D) otherwise taking actions that would limit the respective freedom of action of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to, or their ability to retain, one or more of their respective businesses, assets or rights or interests therein, (E) executing settlements, undertakings, consent decrees, stipulations or other agreements with any Governmental Authority or with any other Person and (F) committing to take any such actions in the foregoing clauses (A) through (E) (each, a “Regulatory Condition”); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) be required to take, or agree to take (and under no circumstances shall the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates take or agree to take, without the express written consent of Parent), any actions, including any Regulatory Condition, that relate to or bind any of Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ businesses, assets, product lines, or other interests other than, in each case, the businesses, assets, product lines or other interests of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. Subject to the obligations set forth in Section 5.7(d), Parent shall respond to and seek to resolve as promptly as reasonably practicable any objections asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions. The parties to this Agreement and any of their respective Affiliates shall not take any action with the intention to prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the expiration or termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act or the obtaining of approval of the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the Competition Act or any other approval, consent or notice required under any other applicable Antitrust and Foreign Investment Law as necessary to cause the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event prior to the Termination Date. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent, the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to take or agree to take, or cause to be taken, any action with respect to its assets, business or operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing.

(d)Parent shall devise and implement the strategy for all filings, notifications, submissions and communications in connection with any filing, notice, petition, statement, registration, submission of information, application or similar filing subject to this Section 5.7, provided, however, that Parent shall consult with and consider in good faith the views of the Company or its outside legal counsel. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation, litigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions, including any proceeding initiated by a private Person, (ii) keep the other parties hereto informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, in each case regarding any of the Transactions, (iii) subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, and to the extent reasonably practicable, consult with the other parties hereto with respect to information relating to the other parties hereto and their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third Person or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and (iv) unless prohibited by the applicable Governmental Authority or other Person, give the other parties hereto the opportunity to attend and participate in all meetings and conferences with such Governmental Authority or other Person. Any party may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other parties under this Section 5.7 as “outside counsel only”. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials. The parties shall take reasonable efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this Section 5.7 so as to preserve any applicable privilege.

(e)Except as expressly contemplated or permitted by this Agreement, Parent shall not take, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to take, any action, or refrain from taking any action, the effect of which would be to prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions.

Section 5.10Financing.

(a)Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to arrange, obtain and consummate the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions (including the market “flex” provisions) not materially less favorable than those set forth in the Financing Letters as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, including using (and causing its Affiliates to use) reasonable best efforts to (i) subject to this clause (a) and clause (b) below, maintain in full force and effect and comply with the Financing Letters, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (such agreements, the “Definitive Financing Agreements”) on the terms and subject only to the conditions (including the market “flex” provisions) set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (or on other terms that, with respect to conditionality, are not less favorable, to Parent or Merger Sub than the terms and conditions (including market “flex” provisions) set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter), in each case, which terms shall not in any material respect expand on the conditions to the funding of the Financing at the Offer Closing and the Closing or reduce the Required Amount of the Financing available to be funded at the Offer Closing and the Closing (other than as contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments), which Definitive Financing Agreements shall be in effect no later than the Offer Closing, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions and covenants applicable to, and in the control of, Parent and Merger Sub in the Financing Letters and the Definitive Financing Agreements related thereto (including by consummating the Equity Financing at or prior to the Offer Closing on the

terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter) or, if reasonably necessary or deemed advisable by Parent, seek the waiver of conditions applicable to Parent and Merger Sub contained in such Financing Letters or such Definitive Financing Agreements related thereto, (iv) assuming that all conditions contained in any Financing Letter have been (or would substantially simultaneously be) satisfied, consummate the Financing at or prior to the Offer Closing and cause the lenders and the other Persons committing to fund the Financing to fund the Financing at or prior to the Offer Closing and (v) otherwise comply with Parent’s and Merger Sub’s covenants and other obligations under the Financing Letters and the Definitive Financing Agreements relating to the Financing in all material respects. Parent, Merger Sub and the Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, agree to or permit any termination of or amendment, supplement, replacement or modification to be made to, or grant any waiver of any provision under, the Financing Letters or the Definitive Financing Agreements relating to the Financing if such termination, amendment, supplement, replacement, modification or waiver would (A) reduce the aggregate amount of any portion of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount as compared to the fees and original issue discount contemplated by the Financing Letters on the date of this Agreement unless the Debt Financing or Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount) such that the aggregate amount of the Financing would reasonably be expected to be below the amount required to pay the Required Amount (when taken together with the Equity Financing), (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the availability of the Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions precedent to the Financing, in each case in a manner that would or would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) or the consummation of the Transactions, (C) change the timing of the funding of the Financing thereunder, if such change would make such funding materially less likely to occur when required pursuant to the term of this Agreement or (D) materially and adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Letters or the Definitive Financing Agreements with respect to the Financing (clauses (A) through (D), collectively, the “Prohibited Modifications”). For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right from time to time to amend, supplement, replace, substitute, terminate or otherwise modify or waive its rights under any Debt Commitment Letter, including without limitation to (1) terminate any Debt Commitment Letter in order to obtain alternative sources of financing in lieu of all or a portion of the Debt Financing or (2) effect any Replacement Commitment Facility (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) or add and appoint additional arrangers, bookrunners, underwriters, agents, lenders and similar entities, to provide for the assignment and reallocation of a portion of the financing commitments contained therein and to grant customary approval rights to such additional arrangers and other entities in connection with such appointments; provided that no such amendment, supplement, replacement, substitution, termination, modification or waiver would be reasonably likely to effect a Prohibited Modification. Unless entered into for the purposes set forth in the preceding clause (2), Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any amendment, termination, modification, supplement, consent or waiver to or under any Financing Letter or the Definitive Financing Agreements relating to the Financing promptly upon execution thereof.

(b)Upon request by the Company, Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably prompt basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and provide to the Company drafts (reasonably in advance of execution) and thereafter complete, correct and executed copies of the material Definitive Financing Agreements for the Financing. Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company prompt notice of (i) any material breach or default, or any termination, cancellation or repudiation by any party to any of the Financing Letters or definitive documents related to the Financing (including the Definitive Financing Agreements) of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware, (ii) the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing source with respect to any (A) material breach or default, or any termination,

cancellation or repudiation by any party to any of the Financing Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing (including the Definitive Financing Agreements) of any provisions of the Financing Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing (including the Definitive Financing Agreements) or (B) material dispute or disagreement between Parent and any Financing source or among any parties to any of the Financing Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing (including the Definitive Financing Agreements), in each case regarding the Financing, and (iii) the occurrence of an event or development that would or would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to obtain all or any portion of the Financing necessary to fund the Required Amount on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Financing Letters; provided that no such notification shall affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies of, or the conditions to the obligation of, the parties hereunder. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within two (2) Business Days of the date the Company delivers to Parent or Merger Sub a written request, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. If any portion of the Debt Financing necessary to fund the Required Amount becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any applicable market “flex” provisions) contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, (x) Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing and (y) Parent and Merger Sub shall (other than as a result of the Company’s material breach of any provision of this Agreement or failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in clause (c) below) use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable, in replacement thereof alternative financing (the “Alternative Financing”) from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to fund the Required Amount with terms and conditions (including market “flex” provisions) not materially less favorable to Parent and Merger Sub (or their respective Affiliates) than the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and Parent shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of the alternative debt commitment letters (including fee letters that may be delivered in redacted form removing only the fee information, all “market flex” information, all “securities demand” terms, and other economic terms in a customary manner) pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide any portion of the Debt Financing; provided, that, any such alternative debt commitment letter will not (i) involve any conditions to funding of the Debt Financing that are not contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or (ii) reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation of the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Parent or its Affiliates be required to pay any fees or any interest rates applicable to the Debt Financing in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof (including the market “flex” provisions) or agree to any material term (including any market “flex” term) less favorable to Parent than such term contained in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement (including the market “flex” provisions). For purposes of this Agreement, other than with respect to representations in this Agreement made by Parent and Merger Sub that speak as of the date of this Agreement, references to (x) the “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Letters as permitted to be amended, modified, supplemented, substituted or replaced by this Section 5.10, (y) references to the “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include such documents as permitted to be amended, modified, supplemented or replaced by this Section 5.10 and (z) references to “Debt Financing” shall include the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as permitted to be amended, modified, supplemented, substituted or replaced by this Section 5.10.

(c)Prior to the earlier of the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide, and to cause its Subsidiaries to use reasonable best efforts to provide, to Parent and Merger Sub, in each case at Parent’s sole cost and expense, such reasonable cooperation as may

(ii)inform Parent if the Company or its Subsidiaries shall have actual knowledge of any facts that would be reasonably likely to require the restatement of any financial statements comprising a portion of the Required Information in order for such financial statements to comply with GAAP or to otherwise satisfy the requirements of Section 5.10(e);

(iii)upon reasonable advance notice, participate in a reasonable number of investor and lender meetings (including a reasonable and limited number of one-on-one meetings and calls that are requested in advance with or by the parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for, and prospective lenders and purchasers of, the Debt Financing), drafting sessions, due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence sessions), presentations and sessions with rating agencies in connection with the Debt Financing at reasonable times to be mutually agreed and provided that any such meetings or presentations and sessions shall be limited to teleconference or virtual meeting platforms;

(iv)promptly, and upon reasonable advance notice, assist Parent in obtaining any corporate or facility ratings from any ratings agencies contemplated by the Debt Financing and with the preparation by Parent and the Lender Related Parties of materials for (A) rating agency presentations, offering documents and private placement memoranda and (B) customary bank information memoranda (including a bank information memorandum that does not include material non-public information and the delivery of customary authorization letters with respect to the bank information memoranda executed by a senior officer of the Company authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders or investors and containing (1) a representation to the Lender Related Parties that the public side versions of such documents, if any, do not include material non-public information about the Company or its Subsidiaries or their securities and (2) a “10b-5” representation by the Company consistent with the Debt Commitment Letter), offering documents (including an offering memorandum for high yield debt securities), and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that any such ratings agency presentations, customary bank information memoranda, offering documents, and similar customary documents that include disclosure and financial statements with respect to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries shall only reflect the Surviving Corporation and/or its Subsidiaries as the obligor(s) and no such ratings agency presentations, bank information memoranda or similar marketing documents shall be issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(v)(x) execute and deliver as of (but not effective prior to) the Closing any credit agreements, indentures, pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents or other certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent and (y) otherwise reasonably facilitate the obtaining of guarantees and the pledging of collateral, including executing and delivering any customary guarantee, pledge and security documents and other documents to facilitate any guarantee, obtaining and perfection of security interests in collateral from and after the Closing (including delivery to the Lender Related Parties at the Closing of all certificates representing outstanding equity interests of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries); provided that (A) none of the documents or certificates shall be executed and/or delivered except in connection with the Closing, (B) the effectiveness thereof shall be conditioned upon, or become operative after, the occurrence of the Closing and (C) no liability shall be imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers or employees involved prior to the Closing Date; and

(d)Prior to or at, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of the Closing, the Company shall deliver all notices and take all other actions reasonably required to facilitate the termination of commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement, the repayment in full of all obligations then outstanding thereunder and the release of all Liens in connection therewith on the Closing Date, and deliver to Parent on or prior to the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Closing a customary payoff letter in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement, which payoff letter shall (x) indicate the total amount required to be paid to fully satisfy all principal, interest, prepayment premiums, penalties, breakage costs or other similar obligations related to the Existing Credit Agreement as of the anticipated Closing Date (and the daily accrual thereafter) (the “Payoff Amount”) and (y) state that all obligations (including guarantees) in respect thereof (other than those contingent indemnification obligations that customarily remain following termination of a credit agreement) and Liens in connection therewith on the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be, substantially concurrently with the receipt of the Payoff Amount on the Closing Date, automatically released or terminated.

(e)The Company shall furnish to Parent and Lender Related Parties with each item of the Required Information promptly on or after the date of this Agreement (and in any event (i) no later by the time at which such item of Required Information becomes a condition precedent to the availability of the Debt Financing at the Closing, (ii) in the case of the Required Information relating to the fiscal period ended on or about March 31, 2022, by no later than May 10, 2022 and (iii) in the case of the Required Information relating to the fiscal year ending on or about June 30, 2022, no later than August 12, 2022) and update such Required Information from time to time so that such Required Information (i) is and remains compliant in all material respects with all applicable requirements of Regulation S-K and Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (excluding financial statements or information required by Rules 3-09,

3-10 or 3-16 of Regulation S-X (or any successor provisions thereof) or information required by Item 402 and Item 601 of Regulation S-K, XBRL exhibits and information regarding executive compensation and related party disclosure related to SEC Release Nos. 33-08732A and 34-54302A), (ii) contains financial information from and after the date of delivery that would not be required to be updated under Rule 3-12 of Regulation S-X in order to be current on any day thereafter on or prior to the Closing to permit a registration statement on Form S-1 by a non-reporting issuer using such financial statements to be declared effective by the SEC and (iii) is sufficient to permit the Company and its Subsidiaries’ applicable independent accountants to issue customary comfort letters to the Lender Related Parties (including underwriters, placement agents or initial purchasers), including as to customary negative assurances and change period, upon the pricing and closing of debt securities included in the Debt Financing on or prior to the Closing (subject to the completion by such accountants of customary procedures relating thereto); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Required Information satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.10(e) if at any time (x) the Company’s auditor has withdrawn, or has advised the Company or its Subsidiaries in writing that they intend to withdraw, its audit opinion with respect to any year-end financial statements in the Required Information, (y) the Company has stated its intent to, or determined that it must, restate any historical financial information included in the Required Information or that any such restatement is under consideration or may be a possibility or (z) such Required Information, taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact regarding the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or omits to state any material fact regarding the Company and/or its Subsidiaries necessary to make such Required Information not misleading under the circumstances under which such statements were made; provided further that in no event shall the Required Information be deemed to include or shall the Company otherwise be required to provide: (1) any description of capital structure (including descriptions of indebtedness or equity) of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries on or after the Effective Time), (2) any information customarily provided by a lead arranger in a customary information memorandum for a secured bank financing, including sections customarily drafted by a lead arranger, such as those regarding confidentiality, timelines, syndication process and limitations of liability, (3) any segment reporting financial information, (4) any pro forma financial statements, (5) any information relating to transactions anticipated to occur on or after the Closing Date, (6) any other information of the type that is not customarily included in an offering memorandum for a high yield debt securities offering and (7) any information with respect to any Person other than the Company and its Subsidiaries (the foregoing clauses (1) through (7) is referred herein as “Excluded Information”). In addition, the Company agrees, in the event that Parent’s affiliate, Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (“BBU”) desires to consummate any equity or debt offering after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, to consent to the inclusion of the financial statements of the Company in any offering document related to such offering and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the independent auditors of the Company to provide a consent to the inclusion of the financial statements of the Company in any offering document related to such offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, if in connection with marketing and arrangement efforts in connection with the Debt Financing Parent reasonably requests the Company to file a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act that contains material non-public information which Parent in consultation with the Company reasonably determines to include in a customary offering memorandum for the Debt Financing, then the Company shall promptly file such Current Report on Form 8-K. If at any

time the Company shall reasonably believe that it has provided the Required Information that satisfies the requirements of this Section 5.10(e), the Company may deliver to Parent a written notice to that effect (stating when it believes it completed such delivery), in which case the requirement to deliver the Required Information will be deemed to have been satisfied as of the date of such delivery of such Required Information as has been identified in such notice (including for purposes of commencing the 15 consecutive Business Day period in the definition of the “Inside Date”), unless Parent in good faith reasonably believes the Company has not completed the delivery of the Required Information that satisfies the requirements of this Section 5.10(e) and, within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of such notice from the Company, delivers a written notice to the Company to that effect (stating with specificity which portion of the Required Information the Company has not delivered or does not satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.10(e)); provided that it is understood that the delivery of such written notice from Parent to the Company will not prejudice the Company’s right to assert that the Required Financial Information has in fact been delivered, and any such delivery of the Required Information or notice thereof shall not relieve the Company of the requirement to deliver future Required Information and/or the other requirements with respect thereto set forth in the definition of “Inside Date”). If at any time Parent shall in good faith reasonably believe that the Required Information does not satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.10(e), it shall deliver written notice to the Company of that fact within two (2) Business Days, which such notice shall include a description of what Required Information no longer satisfies the requirements of this Section 5.10(e) (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not prejudice any later assertion that such Required Information was deficient for purposes of Section 5.10(e) and/or the Inside Date).

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) all such requested cooperation provided in accordance with this Section 5.10 shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) in no event shall the cooperation with the arrangement of the Financing of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 5.10 (A) subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their respective directors, officers, managers or employees) to bear any Expense, pay any commitment or other fee, enter into any definitive agreement, incur any other Liability, make any other payment or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Financing or any of the foregoing prior to the Effective Time that is not subject to the expense reimbursement provision set forth in this clause (f), (B) (1) would or would reasonably be expected to conflict with or violate any applicable Law or (2) would or would reasonably be expected to result in, prior to the Effective Time, a violation or breach of, or default under, any Material Contract to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party, (C) cause any of the Offer Conditions or the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VI to not be satisfied, (D) cause any breach of this Agreement, (E) require providing access to or disclose information that the Company determines could jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality requirements applicable to, the Company and its Subsidiaries (but the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to grant such access or provide such disclosure in a manner which would not jeopardize such privilege or confidentiality requirements), (F) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (1) change any fiscal period, (2) deliver or cause the delivery of any legal opinions, (3) deliver or cause the delivery of any reliance letters or any certificate as to solvency or any other certificate in connection to the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financings, in

each case that would be effective prior to the Effective Time, (4) adopt any resolutions, execute any consents or otherwise take an corporate or similar action or deliver any certificate, in connection with the Debt Financing, any Alternative Financings or the incurrence of indebtedness thereby, in each case, that would be effective prior to the Effective Time or (5) pay any commitment or other similar fee, incur or reimburse any costs or expenses that is not subject to the expense reimbursement provision set forth in this clause (F) or (G) require the Company to provide any financial information in a form not customarily prepared by the Company with respect to such period or any financial information with respect to a year, month or fiscal period that has not yet ended or has ended less than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of such request, except of the type and as would customarily be necessary in connection with private placements of debt securities under Rule 144A of the Securities Act or that is expressly referred to in the definition of Required Information (including with reference to the Debt Commitment Letter) and (iii) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to be an issuer or obligor with respect to the Debt Financing (except for the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time). For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors (with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company) or employees shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the Financing contemplated by the Financing Letters that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing (in each case other than authorization letters with respect to the bank information memoranda and representation letters with respect to obtaining customary comfort letters, conditional prepayment and termination notices with respect to the Existing Credit Agreement and redemption and other conditional notices with respect to the Senior Notes consistent with Section 5.16, and any other documents or agreements referenced in Section 5.16) and no directors of the Company that will not be continuing directors, acting in such capacity, shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the Financing. Parent (I) shall promptly, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out of pocket Expenses (including (A) attorneys’ fees and (B) Expenses of the Company’s accounting firms engaged to assist in connection with the Debt Financing, including performing additional requested procedures, reviewing any offering documents, participating in any meetings and providing any comfort letters) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with the Financing, including the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Representatives contemplated by this Section 5.10(f) and (II) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Damages or reasonable and documented out of pocket Expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (including the performance of their respective obligations under, or the taking of or refraining from any action in accordance with, this Section 5.10) and any information used in connection therewith, in each case other than to the extent any of the foregoing was (i) with respect to any written information prepared or provided by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates, (ii) suffered or incurred as a result of the bad faith or willful misconduct of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, in each case, their respective Affiliates and Representatives as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) with respect to any material misstatement or omission of a material fact in financial information provided hereunder in writing by the foregoing persons. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required under the provisions of this

Section 5.10 or otherwise in connection with the Debt Financing (A) to pay any commitment or other fee prior to the Closing that is not advanced, or substantially simultaneously reimbursed, by Parent or (B) to incur any fees, costs or expenses unless such fees, costs or expenses is reimbursed by Parent on the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII.

(g)The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of its logos solely in connection with the Debt Financing (including any Alternative Financing); provided that Parent and Merger Sub shall ensure that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Affiliates or the Company’s reputation or goodwill and will comply with the Company’s usage requirements to the extent made known to Parent by the Company.

(i)For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 5.10 and Section 5.16, represent the sole obligation of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective Representatives with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and no other provision of this Agreement (including the Annexes and Schedules hereto) shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations.

The Senior Notes Documents shall be subject to the prior review of, and comment by, the Company and its legal counsel, and shall be reasonably acceptable to them.

(b)Provided that Parent shall have provided the Company with the Senior Notes Documents, the Company shall, at Parent’s expense (i) take any actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to be taken by it to issue redemption notices and/or notices of offers to purchase the Senior Notes, the redemption or repurchase of which closes at the Closing Date (contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing), or other documents necessary to commence the Change of Control Offers, Tender Offer, Consent Solicitation and/or Liability Management Transaction, as the case may be, for the Senior Notes the redemption and/or repurchase of which closes at the Closing Date (contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing) and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable Trustee to agree to proceed with the Change of Control Offers, Tender Offer, Consent Solicitation and/or Liability Management Transaction, as the case may be, on notice of at least thirty (30) days, but not more than sixty (60) days, before the applicable repurchase and/or redemption date or such other reasonable time in the case of a Tender Offer, Consent Solicitation or other Liability Management Transaction and, in any event, take any such action as is reasonably necessary to cause the applicable Trustee and/or other applicable agent to send the notices of offers to purchase and/or redemption, consent solicitation statement and/or other documents necessary to commence the Change of Control Offers, Tender Offer, Consent Solicitation and/or other Liability Management Transaction, as the case may be, to the holders of the applicable Senior Notes on or prior to the Closing Date, as applicable; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.16(b) or otherwise shall obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (A) fund or set aside funds for the repurchase, redemption, satisfaction or discharge of the Senior Notes or to take any action that is not at the expense of Parent or (B) take any other action that would, or would reasonably be expected to, conflict with or violate the terms of any Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party.

(c)As reasonably requested by Parent, (i) subject to the receipt of any requisite consents, the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture governing each series of Senior Notes identified by Parent to the Company in writing in accordance with the applicable Indenture, amending the terms and provisions of each such Indenture as described in the Senior Notes Documents, which supplemental indenture shall become operative no earlier than the Effective Time and (ii) if the requisite consents have not been received, the Company shall assist with the preparation of, and execution and delivery of, an intercreditor agreement and related security documents necessary to secure any applicable outstanding Senior Notes equally and ratably with the Debt Financing or otherwise as required under the applicable Indenture.

simultaneously with the Closing as reasonably determined by Parent; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company have any obligation to authorize, adopt or execute any amendments or other agreement that would become operative prior to the Effective Time. If requested by Parent, the Company cause its legal counsel to provide all customary legal opinions required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.16 to the extent such legal opinion is required to be delivered prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or its legal counsel be required to give an opinion as to compliance of a Change of Control Offer, Tender Offer, Consent Solicitation or Liability Management Transaction with an applicable Law or, if applicable, the provisions of the applicable Indenture, if in the reasonable opinion of the Company’s external legal counsel, the Change of Control Offer, Tender Offer, Consent Solicitation or Liability Management Transaction does not comply with such applicable Law or the provisions of the applicable Indenture, as the case may be, or to give an opinion with respect to financing by Parent.

(d)Parent (i) shall promptly, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all Expenses (including (A) reasonable attorneys’ fees and (B) Expenses of the Company’s accounting firms engaged to assist in connection with the actions contemplated by this Section 5.16) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with the actions of the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates and Representatives contemplated by this Section 5.16 and (ii) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Damages or Expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the actions of the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates and Representatives contemplated by this Section 5.16 and any information used in connection therewith, in each case other than to the extent any of the foregoing was suffered or incurred as a result of the willful misconduct of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, in each case, their respective Affiliates and Representatives as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e)In connection with any Damages suffered by any Parent Related Party as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, other than in the circumstances in which Parent is entitled to receive the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.6(a) (in which case, Section 7.6(d) shall apply), and without limiting the reimbursement obligations of the Company under Section 7.6(c), Parent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Parent Related Parties, that the maximum aggregate monetary Liability of the Company and the Company Related Parties, if any, shall be limited to the amount of the Company Termination Fee, and in no event shall Parent or any Parent Related Party seek or be entitled to recover from the Company or any Company Related Parties, and Parent on behalf of itself and the Parent Related Parties hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes any right to seek or recover, any monetary Damages in excess of such amount.

Section 8.14Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns. No party to this Agreement may assign or delegate, by operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of its rights or Liabilities under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement, which any such party may withhold in its absolute discretion, and any purported assignment without such prior written consents shall be void; provided that Parent (or one or more of its Affiliates) shall have the right, without the prior written consent of the Company, to assign all or any portion of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement, from and after Closing to any Persons providing the Debt Financing pursuant to the terms thereof for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assign as collateral in respect of such Debt Financing but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations under this Agreement; provided further, that in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub be permitted to assign this Agreement to any Person to the extent such assignment would, or would reasonably be expected to, prevent or materially impede, hinder or delay the ability of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions.

Section 8.15Specific Performance.

(a)The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies (including those as set forth in Section 7.6) would not be an adequate remedy for any such non-performance or breach. It is accordingly agreed that, subject to Section 8.15(b), the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including the right of a party hereto to cause the other parties hereto to consummate the Offer and the Merger and the other Transactions), without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and the parties to this Agreement hereby waive any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that or otherwise assert that (i) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific

performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. It is explicitly agreed that, 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 Offer (including, subject to the satisfaction (or to the extent waivable, the wavier by Parent) of the Offer Conditions, Merger Sub’s obligation to accept for payment, and pay for, shares of Common Stock tendered in the Offer) and the Merger, and Parent’s obligation under this Agreement with respect to the Financing, including by exercising its rights in accordance with the Equity Commitment Letter, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein and herein.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.15(a), the right of the Company to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing Parent’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded to fund the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration and Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Offer and to effect the Merger (but not the right of the Company to seek such injunctions, specific performance or other equitable remedies for any other reason) shall be subject to the requirements that (i) (A) with respect to the Offer and payment of the Offer Price and the Equity Financing related thereto, all of the Offer Conditions were satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Expiration Time, but subject to such conditions being able to be satisfied) or waived at the Expiration Time or (B) with respect to the Merger, the payment of the Merger Consideration and the Equity Financing related thereto, the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 were satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being able to be satisfied) or waived at the Closing, (ii) the Debt Financing (or any replacement thereof) has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing and (iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed that if the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then it would take such actions required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may pursue a grant of specific performance of the type provided in the preceding sentence and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee under Section 7.6(b), but in no event be entitled to obtain both (x) a grant of specific performance pursuant to this Section 8.15 and (y) payment of the Parent Termination Fee or any monetary damages.

Section 8.16Performance Guaranty. Parent hereby guarantees the due, prompt and faithful performance and discharge by, and compliance with, all of the obligations, covenants, terms, conditions and undertakings of Merger Sub under this Agreement, the Commitment Letters, the Financing and any Alternative Financing in accordance with the terms hereof, including any such obligations, covenants, terms, conditions and undertakings that are required to be performed, discharged or complied with following the Effective Time by the Surviving Corporation. Any consent or waiver by Parent under this Agreement shall be deemed to also be a consent or waiver by Merger Sub.

Section 8.17Non-Recourse. All Legal Actions (whether in Contract or in tort, in law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Related Documents or the negotiation, execution, performance or non-performance of this Agreement or the Related Documents (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement, the Related Documents or as an inducement to enter into this

Agreement or the Related Documents) may be made by any party hereto only against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto or thereto. In no event shall any named party to this Agreement or the Related Documents have any shared or vicarious Liability for the actions or omissions of any other Person.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the Non-Party Affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.17.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates and Representatives hereby: (i) agrees that, without limitation of the terms set out in Section 8.5(a), any Legal Action, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving any Lender Related Party, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts set out for each such Legal Action in Section 8.5(b) and each such Person irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Legal Action in any such court and (ii) agrees that no Lender Related Party will have any liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter 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, and each of Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates and Representatives agrees not to commence (and if commenced

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.20 shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement, or any Lender Related Party’s obligations to Parent under the Debt Commitment Letter with respect to the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or any services thereunder.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or the Offer and in addition to (and not in limitation of) Merger Sub’s right to extend and amend the Offer pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, Merger Sub shall not be required to (and Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub to) accept for payment or pay for any shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (and are therefore accepted for payment or paid for) unless all of the following conditions have been satisfied or waived by Parent (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) at the scheduled Expiration Time:

(a)Minimum Condition. The number of shares of Common Stock validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) prior to the Expiration Time of the Offer (but excluding shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received”, as such terms are defined by Section 251(h) of the DGCL), together with the shares of Common Stock, if any, then owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates represent a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the consummation of the Offer at the Expiration Time (the “Minimum Condition”).

(b)Legal Restraints. No Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated or entered an Order or applicable Law that would (i) make the Offer or the Merger illegal or (ii) otherwise prevent the consummation thereof.

(c)Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws. Any (i) waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer and the Merger under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated and (ii) any applicable consents or approvals under the Competition Act shall have been obtained;

(d)Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company (i) set forth in Section 3.12(b) of the Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Expiration Time with the same effect as though made as of the Expiration Time, (ii) set forth in the first three sentences of Section 3.8(a) of the Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects (except for what is de minimis in nature) as of the Expiration Time with the same effect as though made as of the Expiration Time (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), (iii) set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.3, Section 3.4, the last sentence of Section 3.8(a), Section 3.8(b), Section 3.8(c), Section 3.8(e) and Section 3.8(f) (solely as such representations relate to the Company), Section 3.27 and Section 3.28 of the Agreement shall be true and correct (disregarding all qualifications or limitations as to “materiality”, “Company Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import set forth therein) in all material respects as of the Expiration Time with the same effect as though made as of the Expiration Time (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date) and (iv) set forth in the Agreement, other than those Sections specifically identified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this

Annex II-1

paragraph (d), shall be true and correct (disregarding all qualifications or limitations as to “materiality”, “Company Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import set forth therein) as of the Expiration Time with the same effect as though made as of the Expiration Time (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), except, in the case of this clause (iv), where the failure to be true and correct would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Parent shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of the Company by an executive officer of the Company to such effect.

(e)Compliance with Covenants. The Company shall have complied with or performed in all material respects its obligations, agreements and covenants required to be complied with or performed by it prior to the Expiration Time under the Agreement and such failure to comply or perform shall not have been cured by the Expiration Time. Parent shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of the Company by an executive officer of the Company to such effect.

(f)Company Material Adverse Effect Condition. Since the date of the Agreement there shall not have been any Effect that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect that is continuing. Parent shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of the Company by an executive officer of the Company to such effect (the “No Material Adverse Effect Condition”).

(g)No Termination of Agreement. The Agreement shall not have been validly terminated in accordance with its terms (the “Termination Condition”).

(h)Inside Date. The Expiration Time shall not occur prior to the Inside Date (the “Inside Date Condition”).

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and, other than the Minimum Condition, may be waived by Parent and Merger Sub, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time in their respective sole discretion, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The failure by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Affiliate of Parent at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

The capitalized terms used in this Annex I shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement to which it is annexed unless specifically defined in this Annex I.
