(a) Each share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a portion of the Total Consideration, with each Company Stockholder being entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of: (i) the Closing Cash Payment Amount; (ii) the Closing Number of Securities; (iii) and any amount payable to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 7.15, Section 7.16 or Section 7.22; and (iv) any Earn Out Shares in accordance with Article III, in each case, without interest, upon surrender of stock certificates representing all of such Company Stockholder’s Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) and delivery of the other documents required pursuant to Section 2.9. As of the Effective Time, each Company Stockholder shall cease to have any other rights in and to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, and each Certificate relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Total Consideration.

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

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

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

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

Section 2.8 Effect of the Second Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any Company Stockholder or the holders of any shares of capital stock of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Second Merger Sub: (a) each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and (b) the membership interest of Second Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and become the membership interest of the Surviving Entity, which shall constitute one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding equity of the Surviving Entity. From and after the Second Effective Time, the membership interests of the Second Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of membership interests into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 2.9 Surrender of Company Certificates and Disbursement of Closing Consideration.

(a) Subject to this Section 2.9, at the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to each Company Stockholder such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of: (i) the Closing Cash Payment Amount minus the Adjustment Escrow Amount; and (ii) the Closing Number of Securities (collectively, the “Closing Consideration”).

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging Certificates for each Company Stockholder’s portion of the Closing Consideration.

(c) At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent the aggregate amount of the cash portion of the Closing Consideration and make available the aggregate amount of the equity portion of the Closing Consideration. Such cash and equity deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver irrevocable instructions to the Exchange Agent to deliver the Closing Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in the manner it is contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article II.

(d) Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five Business Days thereafter), the Exchange Agent shall mail to each Company Stockholder (other than holders of Excluded Shares): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.9(g)) to the Exchange Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Stockholder Representative may reasonably agree; and (ii) instructions for surrendering the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.9(g)) to the Exchange Agent (the “Surrender Documentation”); provided, however, that the Exchange Agent shall not be required to deliver the Surrender Documentation to any Company Stockholder that has delivered its Surrender Documentation with respect to such Company

Stockholder’s Certificates to the Exchange Agent at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.9(g)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of the Surrender Documentation, the Exchange Agent will deliver to the holder of such Certificate in exchange therefor such holder’s portion of the Closing Consideration in accordance with Section 2.9(a) hereof, with: (A) any cash portion of the Closing Consideration being delivered via wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with instructions provided by such Company Stockholder in the letter of transmittal; and (B) the equity portion of the Closing Consideration being delivered via book-entry issuance, in each case, less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.12; provided, however, that if the holder of such Certificate delivers to the Exchange Agent the Surrender Documentation with respect to such Company Stockholder’s Certificates at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the holder of such Certificate in exchange therefor such holder’s portion of the Closing Consideration covered by such Surrender Documentation in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) of this sentence on the Closing Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter. The Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Total Consideration attributable to such Certificate. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable portion of the Total Consideration to be delivered upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(e) From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and deemed exchanged for (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.12) the portion of the Total Consideration represented by such Certificate.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the Company Stockholders for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Entity. Any Company Stockholder who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity for payment of their respective portion of the Total Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.12) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.9(g)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, Parent, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former Company Stockholder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirements.

(g) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed: (i) upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed; and (ii) if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue the portion of the Total Consideration attributable to such Certificate (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.12).

Section 2.10 Adjustment Escrow Deposit. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit with the Escrow Agent an amount equal to $12,500,000 (the “Adjustment Escrow Amount”) into a designated non-interest bearing account the (“Adjustment Escrow Account”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars. Pursuant to an escrow agreement to be entered into on the Closing Date by and among Parent, the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Escrow Agreement”), Parent and the Stockholder Representative will appoint the Escrow Agent to hold the Adjustment Escrow Amount until the final determination of the Final Merger Consideration and disburse the Adjustment Escrow Amount as provided herein and in the Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.11 Closing Calculations; Adjustment.

(a) No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement (the “Estimated Adjustment Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of: (i) the Closing Working Capital (such estimate, the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”); (ii) the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount (the “Estimated Rollover Indebtedness Amount”); (iii) the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount”); (iv) the Company Cash (the “Estimated Company Cash”); and (v) the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount (the “Estimated Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount”), together with instructions that list the applicable bank accounts designated to facilitate payment by Parent of the amounts included in the Estimated Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount and all relevant supporting documentation used by Company in calculating such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will consider in good faith Parent’s comments to the Estimated Adjustment Statement, and if any adjustments are made to the Estimated Adjustment Statement prior to the Closing, such adjusted Estimated Adjustment Statement shall thereafter become the Estimated Adjustment Statement for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that, following the Company’s consideration in good faith of Parent’s comments to the Estimated Adjustment Statement, the Company may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to make any adjustments to the Estimated Adjustment Statement, in which case the Estimated Adjustment Statement shall be the Estimated Adjustment Statement delivered by the Company to Parent. The Estimated Adjustment Statement and the determinations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement.

(b) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Stockholder Representative an unaudited statement (the “Adjustment Statement”), which shall set forth Parent’s good faith calculation of each of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax

Overpayment/Underpayment Amount and the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount. To the extent any amounts in the calculation of the foregoing are not U.S. dollars, such amounts shall be converted to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate to U.S. dollars for the Closing Date as reported by Bloomberg L.P. Solely for illustrative purposes, an example of the calculation of Closing Working Capital, as if the Closing Date were June 30, 2019, is attached as Schedule B hereto using the applicable provisions of this Agreement and based upon the balance sheet of the Company as of such date.

(c) Upon receipt from Parent, the Stockholder Representative shall have 60 days to review the Adjustment Statement (the “Adjustment Review Period”). At the request of the Stockholder Representative, Parent shall: (i) reasonably cooperate and assist, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Entity, and each of their respective Representatives to reasonably cooperate and assist, the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives in the review of the Adjustment Statement (including by requesting their respective accountants to deliver to the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives copies of their work papers relating to the Surviving Entity); and (ii) provide the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives with any information reasonably requested by the Stockholder Representative that is necessary for their review of the Adjustment Statement. If the Stockholder Representative disagrees with Parent’s computation of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount or the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount (each as set forth in the Adjustment Statement), the Stockholder Representative shall, on or prior to the last day of the Adjustment Review Period, deliver a written notice to Parent (the “Adjustment Notice of Objection”) that sets forth the Stockholder Representative’s objections to Parent’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount and the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable. Any Adjustment Notice of Objection shall specify those items or amounts with which the Stockholder Representative disagrees and shall set forth the Stockholder Representative’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount or the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, based on such objections (it being understood that the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted Parent’s calculation of any amounts set forth on the Adjustment Statement to which the Stockholder Representative does not object in the Adjustment Notice of Objection).

(d) If the Stockholder Representative does not deliver an Adjustment Notice of Objection to Parent with respect to an item contained in the Adjustment Statement within the Adjustment Review Period, the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted Parent’s calculation of the underlying item of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount and the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, and such calculation shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If the Stockholder Representative delivers an Adjustment Notice of Objection to Parent within the Adjustment Review Period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall, during the 30 days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine the amount of the disputed Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment

Amount or the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve their disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Parent and the Stockholder Representative (such firm or individual, the “Independent Expert”). The Parties shall instruct the Independent Expert promptly to review this Section 2.11, as well as the Adjustment Statement, Adjustment Notice of Objection and any other materials reasonably requested by the Independent Expert, and to determine, solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount or the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, set forth in the Adjustment Statement requires adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Independent Expert shall base its determination solely on written submissions by Parent and the Stockholder Representative and not on an independent review. Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall make available to the Independent Expert all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested by the Independent Expert. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after its retention, the Independent Expert shall deliver to Parent and the Stockholder Representative a report that sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount or the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable; provided, however, that the Independent Expert may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Parent, on one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, nor less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Parent, on one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be allocated between Stockholder Representative, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the aggregate contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Independent Expert.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Closing Working Capital”, “Final Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount”, “Final Company Cash”, “Final Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount” and “Final Rollover Indebtedness Amount” mean the amount of such items: (i) as shown in the Adjustment Statement delivered by Parent to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.11(b) if no Adjustment Notice of Objection with respect thereto is timely delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent pursuant to Section 2.11(d); or (ii) if an Adjustment Notice of Objection is so delivered: (A) as agreed by Parent and the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.11(d); or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as determined in the Independent Expert’s report delivered pursuant to Section 2.11(d).

(f) Within five Business Days after the Final Merger Consideration has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.11 (the date of such determination, the “Final Adjustment Settlement Date”):

(i) if the Final Merger Consideration is less than the Estimated Merger Consideration: (A) Parent shall be entitled to receive a payment in cash out of the Adjustment Escrow Account in an amount equal to the lesser of: (1) such difference; and (2) the total amount of the Adjustment Escrow Funds; and (B) subject to Section 7.22(c), each Company Stockholder shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of the balance of any remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds after the payment to Parent pursuant to clause (A); and in no event shall any Company Stockholder have any liability under this Section 2.11 in excess of such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Adjustment Escrow Funds; and

(ii) if the Final Merger Consideration is equal to or greater than the Estimated Merger Consideration: (A) subject to Section 7.22(c), each Company Stockholder shall be entitled receive its Pro Rata Share of the Adjustment Escrow Funds; and (B) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, pay to each Company Stockholder an amount equal to such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such difference.

(g) Any payment required to be made: (i) from the Adjustment Escrow Account to Parent pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the account of Parent or the Surviving Entity designated in writing by Parent at least one Business Day prior to such transfer; and (ii) from the Adjustment Escrow Account or by Parent or the Surviving Entity on behalf of Parent, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the account(s) designated in writing by the Stockholder Representative at least one Business Day prior to such transfer.

(h) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Tax law.

Section 2.12 Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent and their Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, any amount required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under Applicable Legal Requirements; provided, that if Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates, or any party acting on their behalf determines that any payment to the Company Stockholders hereunder is subject to deduction and/or withholding, then Parent shall provide notice to the Stockholder Representative as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Any amounts so withheld shall be timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity.

Section 2.13 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time or the Second Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation following the First Merger and the Surviving Entity following the Second Merger with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, First Merger Sub

and Second Merger Sub, the officers and directors or members, as applicable, (or their designees) of the Company, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Section 2.14 Stockholder Representative Expenses. At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Stockholder Representative may provide to Parent a written estimate of the aggregate amount of the fees and expenses incurred, or that the Stockholder Representative reasonably believes in good faith will in the future be incurred, by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Company Stockholders in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative (such fees and expenses, the “Stockholder Representative Expenses”). On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay to the Stockholder Representative or to such other Persons (and in such amounts) as may be designated by the Stockholder Representative, by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by the Stockholder Representative in writing at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, immediately available funds in the amount of such Stockholder Representative Expenses and such amount shall be included as a Company Transaction Cost in the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount.

Section 2.15 Tax Treatment of the Mergers. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for purposes of any applicable state or local Tax that follows the U.S. federal income tax treatment), the Parties will prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the treatment of the Mergers, taken together, as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (or comparable provision of state and local Tax law) and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return, or, at the Stockholder Representative’s direction, cost and expense, during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law (in the case of Parent, the Company or Surviving Entity, as determined by Parent in good faith). The Parties agree to use Ernst and Young to prepare and file the Company’s, the Surviving Entity’s and the Parent’s U.S. federal, state, and local income tax returns for at least the tax years ending on or before the Closing Date (or if the year doesn’t end for state or local tax purposes, the tax year including the Closing Date), including the tax returns that include the reporting of the Transactions.

ARTICLE III.

Section 3.2 Acceleration Event. If, during the Earn Out Period, there is a Change of Control that will result in the holders of Parent Class A Stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of the applicable Common Share Price required in connection with any Triggering Event (an “Acceleration Event”), then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control: (a) any such Triggering Event that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred; and (b) Parent shall issue the applicable Earn Out Shares to the Company Stockholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share), and the recipients of such issued Earn Out Shares shall be eligible to participate in such Change of Control.

Section 3.3 Tax Treatment of Earn Out Shares. Any issuance of Earn Out Shares, including any issuance of Earn Out Shares made upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event pursuant to Section 3.2, shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Tax law.

The Company is duly licensed or qualified to

do business in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its property or the character of its activities is such as to require it to be so licensed or qualified, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Group Companies, taken as a whole.

Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions does not and will not: (i) to the knowledge of the Company, violate any provision of, or result in the breach of, any Applicable Legal Requirement to which any of the Company Minority Owned JVs is subject or by which any property or asset of any of the Company Minority Owned JVs is bound; (ii) conflict with or violate the Charter Documents of any of the Company Minority Owned JVs; (iii) to the Knowledge of the Company, violate any provision of or result in a breach, default or acceleration of, or require a consent under, any material Contracts to which any of the Company Minority Owned JVs are a party, or terminate or result in the termination of any such Contract, or result in the creation of any Lien under any such Contract upon any of the properties or assets of any of the Company Minority Owned JVs, or constitute an event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would result in any such violation, breach, default, acceleration, termination or creation of a Lien; or (iv) to the Knowledge of the Company, result in a violation or revocation of any required Approvals (as defined below), except to the extent that the occurrence of any of the foregoing items set forth in clauses (iii) or (iv) would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Group Companies, taken as a whole.

Schedule 4.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a true and correct list of all Company Common Stock owned by each Company Stockholder, and the respective class(es) thereof.

(b) The Company has previously provided to Parent a list, dated as of October 17, 2019, that is true and correct as of such date, setting forth the name of each holder of any outstanding performance units granted under the Participation Plan (each a “Performance Unit”), the number of Performance Units held by each holder and the applicable grant value. Other than the Participation Plan, there are no stock appreciation, phantom stock, stock-based performance unit, profit participation, restricted stock, restricted stock unit or other equity-based compensation award or similar rights with respect to the Company. The Company has not granted any

outstanding options, warrants, rights or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of the Company Common Stock, or any other commitments or agreements providing for the issuance of additional shares, the sale of treasury shares, or for the repurchase or redemption of shares of Company Common Stock, and there are no agreements of any kind which may obligate the Company to issue, purchase, register for sale, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its capital stock. Except for this Agreement, there are no registration rights, and there is no voting trust, proxy, rights plan, anti-takeover plan or other agreements or understandings with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock.

Except for the equity interests of the Company Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 4.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the equity interests of the Company Minority Owned JVs set forth on Schedule 4.2(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and as otherwise set forth on Schedule 4.3(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries owns, directly or indirectly, any ownership, equity, profits or voting interest in any Person or have any agreement or commitment to purchase any such interest, and has not agreed and is not obligated to make nor is bound by any written, oral or other Contract, binding understanding, option, warranty or undertaking of any nature, as of the date hereof or as may hereafter be in effect under which it may become obligated to make, any future investment in or capital contribution to any other entity.

(d) Except as provided for in this Agreement, as a result of the consummation of the Transactions, no shares of capital stock, warrants, options or other securities of the Company are issuable and no rights in connection with any shares, warrants, options or other securities of the Company accelerate or otherwise become triggered (whether as to vesting, exercisability, convertibility or otherwise).

Section 4.4 Due Authorization. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to: (a) execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party; and (b) carry out the Company’s obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Transactions (including the Mergers), in each case, subject to the consents, approvals, authorizations and other requirements described in Section 4.5. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions (including the

Mergers) have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite action, including approval by the Board of Directors of the Company and, following receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Stockholders as required by the DGCL, and no other corporate proceeding on the part of the Company is necessary to authorize this Agreement.

as applicable; (ii) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, blue sky laws, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other jurisdictions in which Parent is qualified to do business; (iii) for the filing of any notifications required under the HSR Act and the expiration of the required waiting period thereunder; (iv) as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 8.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter; and (v) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, or prevent the consummation of the Mergers.

Section 5.6 Compliance; Approvals. Since its incorporation or organization, as applicable, each of Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub has complied in all material respects with and has not been in violation of any Applicable Legal Requirements with respect to the conduct of its business, or the ownership or operation of its business. Since the date of its incorporation or organization, as applicable, to the Knowledge of Parent, no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has been pending or threatened. No written, or to the Knowledge of Parent, oral notice of non-compliance with any Applicable Legal Requirements has been received by any of Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub. Each of Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub is in possession of all Approvals necessary to own, lease and operate the properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to have such Approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, taken as a whole.

Section 5.7 Parent SEC Reports and Financial Statements.

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

under which they were made, not misleading. The Certifications are each true and correct. Parent maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Each director and executive officer of Parent has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required with respect to Parent by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. As used in this Section 5.7, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC or Nasdaq.

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

Section 5.8 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as set forth in Parent SEC Reports filed prior to the date of this Agreement, and except as contemplated by this Agreement, since December 31, 2017, there has not been: (a) any Parent Material Adverse Effect; (b) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend on, or other distribution in respect of, any of Parent’s capital stock, or any purchase, redemption or other acquisition by Parent of any of Parent’s capital stock or any other securities of Parent or any options, warrants, calls or rights to acquire any such shares or other securities; (c) any split, combination or reclassification of any of Parent’s capital stock; (d) any material change by Parent in its accounting methods, principles or practices, except as required by concurrent changes in GAAP (or any interpretation thereof) or Applicable Legal Requirements; (e) any change in the auditors of Parent; (f) any issuance of capital stock of Parent; (g) any revaluation by Parent of any of its assets, including, without limitation, any sale of assets of Parent other than in the ordinary course of business; or (h) any action taken or agreed upon by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that would be prohibited by Section 6.2 if such action were taken on or after the date hereof without the consent of the Stockholder Representative.

Section 5.9 Litigation. There are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against or otherwise relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, before any Governmental Entity: (a) challenging or seeking to enjoining, alter or materially delay the Transactions; or (b) that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to Parent.

Section 5.10 Business Activities. Since their respective incorporation, none of Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub has conducted any business activities other than activities: (a) in connection with its organization; or (b) directed toward the accomplishment of a business combination. Except as set forth in the Parent Organizational Documents, there is no Contract or Order binding upon Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub or to which any of them is a

party which has or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of it, any acquisition of property by it or the conduct of business by it as currently conducted or as currently contemplated to be conducted (including, in each case, following the Closing).

Section 5.11 Parent Material Contracts. Schedule 5.11 of the Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of each “material contract” (as such term is defined in Regulation S-K of the SEC) to which Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub is party (the “Parent Material Contracts”), other than any such Parent Material Contract that is listed as an exhibit to Parent’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Section 5.12 Parent Listing. The issued and outstanding Parent Units are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Markets (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “GRSHU”. The issued and outstanding shares of Parent Class A Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “GRSH”. The issued and outstanding Parent Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “GRSHW”. Parent is a member in good standing with Nasdaq. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against Parent by Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Parent Units, the shares of Parent Class A Stock or Parent Warrants or terminate the listing of Parent on Nasdaq. None of Parent or any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the Parent Units, the Parent Class A Stock or Parent Warrants under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.13 PIPE Investment Amount. Exhibit H sets forth true, accurate and complete copies of each of the subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) entered into by Parent with the applicable investors named therein (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have committed to provide equity financing to Parent in the aggregate amount of $220,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment Amount”). The PIPE Investment Amount, together with the amount in the Trust Account at the Closing, are in the aggregate sufficient to enable Parent to: (a) pay all cash amounts required to be paid by Parent or its Subsidiaries under or in connection with this Agreement; and (b) pay any and all fees and expenses of or payable by Parent with respect to the Transactions. To Parent’s Knowledge with respect to each PIPE Investor, the Subscription Agreements are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified, in any respect, and no withdrawal, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by Parent. Each Subscription Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to Parent’s Knowledge, each PIPE Investor. The Subscription Agreements provide that the Stockholder Representative is a third-party beneficiary thereof and is entitled to enforce such agreements. There are no other agreements, side letters, or arrangements between Parent and any PIPE Investor relating to any Subscription Agreement, that could affect the obligation of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements, and, as of the date hereof, Parent does not know of any facts or circumstances that may reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any Subscription Agreement not being satisfied, or the PIPE Investment Amount not being available to Parent, on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent under any material term or condition of any Subscription Agreement and, as of the date

hereof, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it contained in any Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent (other than the conditions contained in the other Transaction Agreements) to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements on the terms therein.

Section 5.14 Trust Account.

(a) As of October 31, 2019, Parent had $408,585,719.03 in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), maintained and invested pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) effective as of September 6, 2018, by and between Parent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (“Continental”) for the benefit of its public stockholders, with such funds invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act. Other than pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, the obligations of Parent under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding Parent’s, its Affiliates’, or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the Transactions.

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

Section 5.15 Taxes.

(a) All material Tax Returns required to be filed by Parent have been filed and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects.

(b) Parent has paid all material amounts of its Taxes which are due and payable.

(c) Parent has complied in all material respects with all Applicable Legal Requirements relating to withholding and remittance of all material amounts of Taxes and all material amounts of Taxes required by Applicable Legal Requirements to be withheld by Parent have been withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity.

(d) No deficiency for any material amount of Taxes has been asserted or assessed by any Governmental Entity in writing against Parent (nor to the Knowledge of Parent is there any), which deficiency has not been paid or resolved. No material audit or other proceeding by any Governmental Entity is currently pending or threatened in writing against Parent with respect to any Taxes due from Parent.

(e) There are no Tax indemnification agreements or Tax sharing agreements under which Parent could be liable after the Closing Date for the Tax liability of any Person other than Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub, except for customary agreements or arrangements with customers, vendors, lessors, lenders and the like or other agreements, in each case, that do not relate primarily to Taxes.

(f) Parent has not consented to extend the time in which any material Tax may be assessed or collected by any Governmental Entity (other than pursuant to extensions of time to file Tax Returns obtained in the ordinary course of business), which extension is still in effect.

(g) Parent will not be required to include any material item of income in, or exclude any material item or deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date or, in the case of any taxable period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of such period beginning after the Closing Date, as a result of: (i) an installment sale or open transaction disposition that occurred on or prior to the Closing Date; (ii) any change in method of accounting on or prior to the Closing Date, including by reason of the application of Section 481 of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Tax law); or (iii) any closing agreement pursuant to Section 7121 of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law.

(h) There are no liens for material amounts of Taxes (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of Parent’s assets.

Section 5.16 Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date mailed to stockholders of Parent or at the time of the Special Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent makes no representation, warranty or covenant with respect to: (a) statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement; or (b) any projections or forecasts included in the Proxy Statement.

Section 5.17 Employees; Benefit Plans. Other than any former officers or as described in the Parent SEC Reports, Parent has never had any employees. Other than reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent’s officers and directors in connection with activities on Parent’s behalf in an aggregate amount not in excess of the amount of cash held by Parent outside of the Trust Account, Parent has no unsatisfied material liability with respect to any employee. Parent does not currently maintain or have any direct liability under any benefit plan, and neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements nor the consummation of the Transactions will: (a) result in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any director, officer or employee of Parent; or (b) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits.

Section 5.18 Board Approval; Stockholder Vote. The board of directors of Parent and First Merger Sub (including any required committee or subgroup of the board of directors of Parent or First Merger Sub, as applicable) and the sole member of Second Merger Sub have, as of the date of this Agreement, unanimously: (a) approved and declared the advisability of this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions; and (b) determined that the consummation of the Transactions is in the best interest of, as applicable, the stockholders of Parent or First Merger Sub (as applicable) and the sole member of Second Merger Sub. Other than the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters, no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent are necessary to approve the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 5.19 Title to Assets. Subject to the restrictions on use of the Trust Account set forth in the Trust Agreement, Parent owns good and marketable title to, or holds a valid leasehold interest in, or a valid license to use, all of the assets used by Parent in the operation of its business and which are material to Parent, free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

Section 5.20 Affiliate Transactions. Except as described in the Parent SEC Reports, no Contract between Parent, on the one hand, and any of the present or former directors, officers, employees, stockholders or warrant holders or Affiliates of Parent (or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing), on the other hand, will continue in effect following the Closing, other than any such Contract that is not material to Parent.

Section 5.21 Brokers. Other than fees or commissions for which Parent will be solely responsible, none of Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, nor any of their respective Affiliates, including Sponsor, has any liability or obligation to pay, or is entitled to receive, any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or agent with respect to the Transactions.

Section 5.22 Disclaimer of Other Warranties. PARENT, FIRST MERGER SUB AND SECOND MERGER SUB HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ARTICLE IV, NONE OF THE COMPANY, ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES HAS MADE, IS MAKING, OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, TO PARENT, FIRST MERGER SUB, SECOND MERGER SUB, ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES OR ANY OTHER PERSON, WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS (OR ANY HOLDER OF DERIVATIVE SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY), ANY OF THE GROUP COMPANIES OR ANY OF THE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, BUSINESSES, ASSETS OR PROPERTIES OF THE FOREGOING, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO

(i) As promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent shall, in accordance with this Section 7.1(a), prepare and file with the SEC, in preliminary form, a proxy statement in connection with the Transactions (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”) to be sent to the stockholders of Parent in advance of the Special Meeting, for the purpose of, among other things: (A) providing Parent’s stockholders with the opportunity to redeem shares of Parent Class A Stock (the “Parent Stockholder Redemption”); and (B) soliciting proxies from holders of Parent Class A Stock to vote at the Special Meeting in favor of: (1) the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Transactions; (2) the issuance of shares of Parent Class A Stock in connection with Section 2.6; (3) the amendment and restatement of the Parent Organizational Documents in the form of the Parent A&R Charter attached hereto as Exhibit A; (4) the approval of the adoption of a management equity incentive plan pursuant to which Parent is permitted to issue the Restricted Stock Units in accordance with Section 7.24; and (5) any other proposals the Parties deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions (collectively, the “Parent Stockholder Matters”). Without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative and the Company (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Parent Stockholder Matters shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which Parent shall propose to be acted on by the Parent’s stockholders at the Special Meeting. The Proxy Statement will comply as to form and substance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Parent shall file the definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC and cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders of record, as of the record date to be established by the board of directors of Parent, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than five Business Days except as otherwise required by Applicable Legal Requirements) following the earlier to occur of: (Y) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, the expiration of the waiting period in Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act; or (Z) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is reviewed by the SEC, receipt of oral or written notification of the completion of the review by the SEC (such earlier date, the “Proxy Clearance Date”).

(ii) Prior to filing with the SEC, Parent will make available to the Company drafts of the Proxy Statement and any other documents to be filed with the SEC, both preliminary and final, and any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or such other document and will provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts and shall consider such comments in good faith. Parent shall not file any such documents with the SEC without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent will advise the Company promptly after it receives notice thereof, of: (A) the time when the Proxy Statement has been filed; (B) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, the expiration of the waiting period in Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act;

Parent shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Proxy Statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable; provided, that prior to responding to any requests or comments from the SEC, Parent will make available to the Company drafts of any such response and provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts.

(iii) If, at any time prior to the Special Meeting, there shall be discovered any information that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Parent shall promptly file an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement containing such information. If, at any time prior to the Closing, the Company discovers any information, event or circumstance relating to the Company, its business or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then Company shall promptly inform Parent of such information, event or circumstance.

(iv) Parent shall make all necessary filings with respect to the Transactions under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and applicable “blue sky” laws, and any rules and regulations thereunder. The Company agrees to promptly provide Parent with all information concerning the business, management, operations and financial condition of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, in each case, reasonably requested by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement. The Company shall cause the officers and employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to be reasonably available to Parent and its counsel in connection with the drafting of the Proxy Statement and responding in a timely manner to comments on the Proxy Statement from the SEC.

(b) Parent shall, as promptly as practicable following the Proxy Clearance Date, establish a record date (which date shall be mutually agreed with the Stockholder Representative) for, duly call and give notice of, the Special Meeting. Parent shall convene and hold a meeting of Parent’s stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters, which meeting shall be held not more than 45 days after the date on which Parent mails the Proxy Statement to its stockholders. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters at the Special Meeting, including by soliciting proxies as promptly as practicable in accordance with Applicable Legal Requirements for the purpose of seeking the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters. Subject to the proviso in the following sentence, Parent shall include the Parent Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. The board of directors of Parent shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change,

withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Parent Recommendation (a “Change in Recommendation”); provided, that the board of directors may make a Change in Recommendation if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach by the board of directors of its fiduciary obligations to Parent’s stockholders under Applicable Legal Requirements. Parent agrees that its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting for the purpose of seeking approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters shall not be affected by any Change in Recommendation, and Parent agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting and submit for the approval of its stockholders the matters contemplated by the Proxy Statement as contemplated by this Section 7.1(b), regardless of whether or not there shall have occurred any Change in Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting: (i) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that the board of directors of Parent has determined in good faith is required by Applicable Legal Requirements is disclosed to Parent’s stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Parent’s stockholders prior to the Special Meeting; (ii) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient shares of Parent Class A Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Special Meeting; or (iii) in order to solicit additional proxies from stockholders for purposes of obtaining approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters; provided, that in the event of a postponement or adjournment pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Special Meeting shall be reconvened as promptly as practicable following such time as the matters described in such clauses have been resolved.

(c) Company Stockholder Approval. The Company shall solicit the Company Stockholder Approval via the Stockholder Consent and Joinder. In connection therewith, as promptly as practicable, the board of directors of the Company shall set a record date for determining the stockholders required to execute such Stockholder Consent and Joinder. The Company shall, through its board of directors, recommend to its stockholders that they provide the Company Stockholder Approval and execute the Stockholder Consent and Joinder. The Company will provide Parent with a copy of the executed Stockholder Consent and Joinder.

Each Party will promptly furnish to the other

such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act, the German Competition Law or any other Antitrust Laws and will use reasonable best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods or obtain the applicable approvals as soon as practicable. Each Party will promptly provide the other with copies of all substantive written communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance of all substantive oral communications) between each of them, any of their Affiliates and their respective agents, representatives and advisors, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and the Company shall: (i) promptly inform the other of any communication to or from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, the German Bundeskartellamt or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions; (ii) permit each other to review in advance any proposed substantive written communication to any such Governmental Entity and incorporate reasonable comments thereto; (iii) give the other prompt written notice of the commencement of any Legal Proceeding with respect to such transactions; (iv) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any such Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the Transactions unless, to the extent reasonably practicable, it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend; (v) keep the other reasonably informed as to the status of any such Legal Proceeding; and (vi) promptly furnish each other with copies of all correspondence, filings (except for filings made under the HSR Act) and written communications between such Party and their Affiliates and their respective agents, representatives and advisors, on one hand, and any such Governmental Entity, on the other hand, in each case, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions. Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each pay 50% of any filing fees required by Governmental Entities, including with respect to any registrations, declarations and filings required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Transactions, including filing fees in connection with filings under the HSR Act and the German Competition Law.

Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Entity to, maintain the D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Group Companies, as applicable, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for such insurance pursuant to this Section 7.13(b).

(c) The rights of each D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such person may have under the Charter Documents of any Group Company, any other indemnification arrangement, any Legal Requirement or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Group Companies under this Section 7.13 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 7.13 shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.13.

(d) If Parent or, after the Closing, any Group Company, or any of their respective successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or such Group Company, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.13.

Section 7.14 280G Approval. To the extent that any “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) has the right to receive any payments or benefits that could be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), then, the Company will: (a) no later than six days prior to the Closing Date, solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each such “disqualified individual” a waiver of such disqualified individual’s rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) so that any remaining payments and/or benefits shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder); and (b) no later than three days prior to the Closing Date, with respect to each individual who agrees to the waiver described in clause (a), submit to a vote of holders of the equity interests of the Company entitled to vote on such matters, in the manner required under Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, along with adequate disclosure intended to satisfy such requirements (including Q&A 7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such regulations), the right of any such “disqualified

individual” to receive the Waived 280G Benefits. Prior to, and in no event later than four days prior to soliciting such waivers and approval, the Company shall provide drafts of such waivers and approval materials to Parent for its reasonable review and comment, and the Company shall consider in good faith any changes reasonably requested by Parent. No later than seven days prior to soliciting the waivers, the Company shall provide Parent with the calculations and related documentation to determine whether and to what extent the vote described in this Section 7.12 is necessary in order to avoid the imposition of Taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence that a vote of the stockholders of the Company was solicited in accordance with the foregoing and whether the requisite number of votes of the stockholders of the Company was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits or that the vote did not pass and the Waived 280G Benefits will not be paid or retained.

Section 7.15 Tax Matters.

(a) Parent will pay to the Company Stockholders (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) any Transaction Tax Benefit, or any portion thereof, within five (5) Business Days of filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return for the applicable year, to the extent that any such Transaction Tax Benefit, or any portion thereof, is realized by Parent, any Group Company (after the Closing) or their respective Affiliates in any taxable year ending on or prior to December 31, 2022. For this purpose, a “Transaction Tax Benefit” is, without duplication, (i) any refund actually received (or applied as a credit) with respect to Taxes of any Group Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period attributable to a Transaction Tax Deduction and any interest received thereon net of any Taxes with respect thereto and (ii) any reduction in the liability for Taxes of Parent or any Group Company or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date resulting from (A) the carryforward of a net operating loss generated in the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent attributable to the Transaction Tax Deductions and (B) any Transaction Tax Deductions deductible in a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date by reason of the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units issued, or other amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.24 (“Post-Closing TTDs”) (in each case determined on a “with” and “without” basis), in each case which Transaction Tax Benefit was not taken into account in the calculation of the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount. For purposes of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, Parent, the Group Companies or any of their respective Affiliates will be deemed to realize a Transaction Tax Benefit as a result of a reduction in Tax liabilities in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date to the extent that (i) the aggregate actual Tax liabilities of Parent, the Group Companies or any of their respective Affiliates taking the net operating losses generated in a Pre-Closing Tax Period and Post-Closing TTDs into account exceed (ii) the aggregate hypothetical Tax liabilities of Parent, the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates without taking such net operating losses and Post-Closing TTDs into account. In connection with the foregoing, Parent agrees to cause the Group Companies, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, to apply for a refund of estimated Tax paid (including pursuant to IRS Form 4466 and any comparable or similar non-U.S. Return or Tax form), if applicable, and to utilize any net operating losses from the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(b) All Tax Returns with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period that affect the amount of any Transaction Tax Benefit shall be prepared in accordance with the past practices of the applicable Group Company (unless otherwise required by Legal Requirement) and shall be provided to the Stockholder Representative at least thirty (30) days prior to filing for review and approval by the Stockholder Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Stockholder Representative’s review and approval rights shall be limited to any items that impact the amount of any Transaction Tax Benefit. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative have not agreed to the content of any such Tax Return prior to the due date (taking into account extensions) for such Tax Return, Parent shall be permitted to file such Tax Return without the Stockholder Representative’s consent; provided that if the Independent Expert determines that such Tax Return should have reflected a greater number of Transaction Tax Benefits, Parent’s obligation to make payments to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 7.15(a) of this Agreement shall be determined based on the amount of Transaction Tax Benefits that the Independent Expert determines should have been reflected on such Tax Return. Parent and the Company Stockholders agree that for purposes of such Tax Returns, all Transaction Tax Deductions will be allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (or, in the case of any Post-Closing TTDs, to the first taxable period in which such Post-Closing TTDs are deductible under applicable Law) to the extent provided in Section 7.15(c). With respect to each Tax Return for a Post-Closing Tax Period, Parent agrees to provide, upon request by the Stockholder Representative, a written calculation, along with reasonable supporting detail, of the determination of the Transaction Tax Benefit with respect to such Tax Return. Any dispute regarding the calculation of the Transaction Tax Benefit shall be referred to an Independent Expert (which may be the same or different from the Independent Expert chosen for purposes of resolving any dispute under Section 2.11) for final resolution.

(c) The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise: (i) except as provided in clause (ii) of this Section 7.15(c), any Taxes for a Straddle Period with respect to the Group Companies shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period based on the actual operations of such entity, as the case may be, by a closing of the books of such entity, as if the Closing Date were the end of a Tax year (and, for such purpose, the Tax period of any partnership or pass-through entity, or any controlled foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code, in which a Group Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate as of the Closing Date), and each such portion of such period shall be deemed to be a taxable period (whether or not it is in fact a taxable period); (ii) in the case of any Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (e.g., any real property, personal property or similar ad valorem Taxes) that are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax which relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period; (iii) any Transaction Tax Deductions (other than Post-Closing TTDs) shall be treated as deductible in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date to the maximum extent permitted by Tax law based on a “more likely than not” or higher level of comfort, and it shall be assumed that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates (including after the Closing the Group Companies) shall have applied the so called “next day rule” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) to such deductions; (iv) any Post-Closing TTDs shall be treated as deductible in the first taxable period in which such Post-Closing TTDs are permitted to be deducted by Tax law based on a “more likely than not” or higher level of comfort, (v) the election under Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011-18 I.R.B. to apply the 70% safe harbor to any “success based fee” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.263(a)-5(f) incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be made for U.S. federal income tax purposes

(and, as applicable, for state and local income Tax purposes); and (vi) other than as provided in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 7.15(c), any gain, income, deduction or loss from transactions outside the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date but after the Closing shall be treated as occurring after the Closing Date.

(d) Parent agrees that it shall not make (or cause any of its Affiliates to make) any election under Section 338 or 336(e) of the Code, or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, with respect to the Transactions.

(e) Parent covenants that it will file a consolidated U.S. federal income Tax Return with the applicable Group Companies for the period starting on the day following the Closing Date and, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, and the applicable Group Companies will become members of the affiliated group of corporations of which Parent is the common parent or of which Parent is a member on the day following the Closing Date.

(f) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, excise, recording, registration value added and other such similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) that become payable in connection with or by reason of the execution of this Agreement and the Transactions shall be borne and paid by the Parent. Parent shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(g) On the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with a certificate on behalf of the Company, prepared in a manner consistent and in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.897-2(g), (h) and 1.1445-2(c)(3), certifying that no interest in the Company is, or has been during the relevant period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code, a “U.S. real property interest” within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code, and a form of notice to the Internal Revenue Service prepared in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2); provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Parent’s sole remedy in the event the Company fails to deliver such certificate shall be to make a proper withholding of Tax to the extent required by applicable Tax law.

(h) Each Company Stockholder shall be entitled to its Pro Rata Share of any payments made pursuant to Section 7.15(a), and all such payments shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Tax law.

Section 7.16 Seller Retained Claims.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the Company and/or one or more of the Company Subsidiaries has made the Seller Retained Claims.

(b) Parent agrees that all monetary damages that are hereafter recovered by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the Seller Retained Claims shall be for the sole benefit of the Company Stockholders. Accordingly, Parent hereby agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein: (i) prior to the Closing, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall have the right to settle the Seller Retained Claims on terms it deems acceptable, subject to Parent’s prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned

or delayed); and (ii) following the Closing the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to control the Seller Retained Claims (including any litigation relating thereto or settlement thereof) on terms it deems acceptable in its sole discretion and to direct counsel in connection therewith. In the event that any amounts are received by the Surviving Entity or one or more of the Company Subsidiaries in respect of the Seller Retained Claims following the Closing Date (with the exception of amounts received pursuant to representation and warranty insurance policies), Parent shall cause such amounts (net of any Taxes with respect thereto which, in the case of income Taxes, to the extent includable in the Taxable income of the Surviving Entity or any of the Company Subsidiaries, shall be calculated based on an assumed cash Tax rate of 24%) to be paid to the Stockholder Representative for further payment to the Company Stockholders (whether by directing the payor of any such amounts to pay such amounts directly to the Stockholder Representative or by promptly paying over to the Stockholder Representative any such amounts received by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Entity or any of the Company Subsidiaries), or otherwise).

(c) From and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Entity and the Company Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with the Stockholder Representative in the resolution and/or settlement of the Seller Retained Claims (including with respect to any litigation in relation thereto) and shall not settle, compromise or discharge any such claim (or permit the Surviving Entity or the Company Subsidiaries to take any such action) that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Company Stockholders’ rights under this Section 7.16. Parent shall afford to the Stockholder Representative and its counsel and other representatives reasonable access to all of their respective properties, books, contracts, and records, and appropriate officers and employees of the Surviving Entity and the Company Subsidiaries, necessary or useful for the pursuit and/or settlement of the Seller Retained Claims. Upon reasonable request by the Stockholder Representative in writing, the Surviving Entity shall: (i) on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, successors and assigns, execute a customary general release with the applicable parties to the Seller Retained Claims, their Affiliates, successors and assigns, as applicable, in respect of such claims; and (ii) agree to the release of all or a portion of the Indemnity Escrowed Funds (including executing any written instructions to the escrow agent in connection with such release). Parent further agrees that it will not agree to release (including executing any written instructions to the escrow agent in connection with such release) the Indemnity Escrowed Funds other than: (A) at the written direction of the Stockholder Representative or (B) pursuant to a final order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 7.16 shall be treated by all parties hereto as adjustments to the Final Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Tax law.

(e) All out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative or by Parent, the Surviving Entity or any Company Subsidiary at the request of the Stockholder Representative in connection with or related to the Seller Retained Claims (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt any amount paid prior to the Closing Date or accrued as a current liability as of the Closing Date and are reflected in the Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Surviving Entity (as the case may be) by the Stockholder Representative promptly upon receipt of the applicable invoice related to such fees, expenses or costs.

Section 7.17 Subscription Agreements.

(a) Parent shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, the Subscription Agreements in a manner materially adverse to the Company or the Company Stockholders. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the terms and conditions described therein, including maintaining in effect the Subscription Agreements and using its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to Parent in the Subscription Agreements and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder; (ii) in the event that all conditions in the Subscription Agreements (other than conditions that Parent or any of its Affiliates control the satisfaction of and other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied, consummate transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements at or prior to Closing; and (iii) enforce its rights under the Subscription Agreements in the event that all conditions in the Subscription Agreements (other than conditions that Parent or any of its Affiliates control the satisfaction of and other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied, to cause the applicable PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements at or prior to the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall give the Company or the Stockholder Representative, prompt (and, in any event within three Business Days) written notice: (A) of any amendment to any Subscription Agreement (together with a copy of such amendment); (B) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement known to Parent; (C) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, potential or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Subscription Agreement or any provisions of any Subscription Agreement; and (D) if Parent does not expect to receive all or any portion of the PIPE Investment Amount on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Subscription Agreements. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements on the terms therein.

(b) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the PIPE Investors to contribute the PIPE Investment Amount at or prior to the Closing if all conditions set forth in the applicable Subscription Agreement have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing and other than conditions that Parent or any of its Affiliates control the satisfaction of). Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions required to obtain the PIPE Investment Amount contemplated by the Subscription Agreements, including enforcing the rights of Parent under the Subscription Agreements.

Section 7.18 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all reasonable steps as may be required or permitted to cause any acquisition or disposition of the Parent Class A Stock that occurs or is deemed to occur by reason of or pursuant to the Transactions by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Parent to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including by taking steps in accordance with the No-Action Letter, dated January 12, 1999, issued by the SEC regarding such matters.

Section 7.19 Board of Directors. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the persons listed on Schedule 7.19 of the Company Disclosure Letter and the other persons identified by the applicable Party (as if the Investor Rights Agreement were in effect) following the date hereof are elected and appointed as directors of Parent effective immediately after the Closing; provided, that any such persons not listed on Schedule 7.19 of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be identified as promptly as practicable following the date hereof (but in no event later than the date on which the Proxy Statement is filed with the SEC).

Section 7.20 Deleveraging Amount.

(a) Simultaneously with the Closing, the Company shall obtain the Existing Term Loan Upsizing Amendment and apply the Existing Term Loan Upsizing to the repayment of Indebtedness under the Existing Second Lien Credit Agreement.

(b) Simultaneously with the Closing: (i) Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Surviving Entity the Deleveraging Amount; and (ii) immediately thereafter, Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to pay to lenders under the Existing Second Lien Credit Agreement an aggregate amount equal to the Deleveraging Amount.

Section 7.21 ITAR and NISPOM Notifications. Prior to and after the Closing Date Parent and the Company shall furnish each other such information and assistance as is required for: (a) the Company to file its notice with the State Department, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, under Section 122.4(a)(2) of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”, and such notice, an “ITAR Notice”) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date; and (b) the Company to submit a notice of changed conditions to the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (“DCSA”) under Section 1-302(g) of the NISPOM (a “NISPOM Notice”). The Company shall submit an ITAR Notice with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Stockholder Representative, to the State Department, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, within five days after the Closing Date. The Company shall submit a NISPOM Notice with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby to DCSA on or before the Closing Date.

Section 7.22 PAE-ISR Joint Venture.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the Company has decided to sell all or substantially all of the business of, or otherwise discontinue the business conducted by, its majority-owned joint venture PAE ISR LLC (“ISR”). Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, prior to the Closing Date, unless otherwise agreed by Parent in writing, the Company shall either (i) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the business of ISR (through a sale of equity, assets or otherwise), and/or (ii) terminate operations of ISR effective prior to the Closing in order to effect an orderly liquidation of the assets of ISR. For a period of 90 days after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing ISR Disposition Period”), the Stockholder Representative shall have the right (at the sole cost and expense of the Stockholder Representative) to control the

sale or other disposition of any assets remaining after such sale or the termination of operation of ISR (the “Post-Closing ISR Disposition”). If, prior to the Closing Date, the Company and/or the Stockholder Representative determine that the Post-Closing ISR Disposition will be necessary, the Company shall deliver to Parent, no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a good faith and appropriately detailed description of (A) any outstanding assets of ISR that are required to be disposed of during the Post-Closing ISR Disposition Period and (B) the proposal to dispose of such outstanding assets during the Post-Closing ISR Disposition Period (the “Post-Closing ISR Disposition Plan”). In the event that such assets have not been sold or otherwise transferred on or prior to the expiration of the Post-Closing ISR Disposition Period, the Surviving Entity shall have no further obligation to the Stockholder Representative or the Company Stockholders with respect thereto and may sell or otherwise dispose of such remaining assets in its sole discretion. During the Post-Closing ISR Disposition Period, the Surviving Entity shall reasonably cooperate with the Stockholder Representative to sell any such assets and shall pay the proceeds of such sale (net of (i) any Taxes with respect thereto (which, in the case of income Taxes, shall be calculated based on an assumed cash Tax rate of 24% on the aggregate amount of gain (and net of loss) recognized as a result of sale of ISR assets during the ISR Disposition Period) or other out of pocket expenses of the Surviving Entity or ISR payable in connection with such sale or (ii) any other liabilities of ISR (other than any intercompany payables or other amounts owed to the Company or its Subsidiaries), except to the extent any such Taxes, expenses or other liabilities are accrued on the Closing Balance Sheet) to the Stockholder Representative for further payment to the Company Stockholders. To the extent that any liability of ISR has not been satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date (other than any intercompany payables or other amounts owed to the Company or its Subsidiaries), a current liability shall be accrued on the Adjustment Statement in the calculation of Closing Working Capital whether or not required in accordance with GAAP and the Surviving Entity shall cause ISR to satisfy such liability or obligation up to the amount accrued thereon.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, to the extent the sale of the ISR business is sold in accordance with Section 7.22(a)(i) in a transaction structured as a sale of the equity interests of ISR, unless otherwise agreed by Parent in writing, the Company shall:

(i) Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause ISR to file at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office a written request for abandonment or withdrawal of the trademark application for “PAE ISR” (U.S. Serial No. 88,232,125) filed on December 17, 2018;

(ii) provide to Parent: (A) copies of such filings set forth above in Section 7.22(b)(i); and (B) proof that such filings had been received by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or other applicable Governmental Entity; and

(iii) cause PAE Applied Technologies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PAE AT”), to formally notify ISR (by way of written notice pursuant to Section 14.5 of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement, dated February 9, 2017, by and among PAE AT, ISR and the other parties thereto (the “ISR Operating Agreement”)) of ISR’s obligation to promptly cease using “PAE” in the conduct of ISR’s business.

(c) To the extent that any liability or obligation of ISR has not been included as a current liability in the Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount or otherwise fully satisfied or otherwise provided for on or prior to the Closing Date, whether such liability or obligation is known as of the Closing Date or arises thereafter, the Company Stockholders, severally and not jointly, shall, for a period of 12 months following the Closing Date (the “ISR Indemnification Period”), assume and remain solely liable for, and neither Parent, the Surviving Entity nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall have any liability related to, any and all Losses (the “ISR Losses”) up to an aggregate maximum amount of $10,000,000 (the “ISR Indemnity Cap”) to the extent related to, arising from or attributable to the business of ISR or the operation thereof conducted prior to the Closing Date or the Post-Closing ISR Disposition. In such event and during the ISR Indemnification Period, the Company Stockholders, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify, reimburse, compensate and hold harmless Parent, the Surviving Entity and/or the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, from and against all ISR Losses up to the ISR Indemnity Cap; provided, that Parent, the Surviving Entity and the Company Subsidiaries shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.22(c) solely: (i) with respect to any claim made under this Section 7.22(c) that is finally and fully resolved prior to the Final Adjustment Settlement Date, from the Adjustment Escrow Funds (to be paid in accordance with the Escrow Agreement on the same date any amounts are paid from the Adjustment Escrow Funds under Section 2.11(f)) to the extent funds are available therefor after paying any amount to be paid to Parent in accordance with Section 2.11(f)(i)(A); or (ii)(A) to the extent any claim under this Section 7.22(c) is not finally and fully resolved prior to, or is first made on or after, the Final Adjustment Settlement Date; or (B) with respect to any claim made under this Section 7.22(c) that is finally and fully resolved prior to the Final Adjustment Settlement Date, to the extent the amount that remains payable in respect of such claim exceeds the remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds (after taking into account any Adjustment Escrow Funds payable to Buyer under Section 2.11(f) and clause (i) of this proviso), then in each case under this clause (ii), from proceeds actually received by the Company Stockholders from the sale or other disposition of Parent Class A Stock received hereunder, promptly following the receipt of such proceeds from such sale or other disposition. For the avoidance of doubt: (1) in the event that Parent, the Surviving Entity or any Company Subsidiary makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.22(c) during the ISR Indemnification Period, such claim shall be preserved until its full and final resolution and Parent, the Surviving Entity or such Company Subsidiary, as applicable, shall remain entitled to recover any related ISR Losses hereunder (subject to the ISR Indemnity Cap) notwithstanding the expiration of the ISR Indemnification Period; and (2) in no event shall any Adjustment Escrow Funds be payable in respect of any claim under this Section 7.22(c) that is not finally and fully resolved prior to the Final Adjustment Settlement Date and the pendency of any such claim shall not delay the distribution of the Adjustment Escrow Funds in accordance with Section 7.22(c).

(d) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 7.22 shall be treated by all parties hereto as adjustments to the Final Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Tax law. For Tax purposes, each of the Parties agrees that ISR and the assets and liabilities thereof shall be treated as assets and liabilities of the applicable Subsidiary of the Surviving Entity until the date on which such assets are sold, and such liabilities are settled.

Section 7.23 Release.

(a) Effective upon and following the Closing, Parent, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and Representatives, generally, irrevocably, unconditionally and completely releases and forever discharges each Company Stockholder, each of their respective Affiliates and each of their and their respective Affiliates’ respective Related Parties, and each of their respective successors and assigns and each of their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Company Stockholder Released Parties”) from all disputes, claims, losses, controversies, demands, rights, liabilities, actions and causes of action of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, arising from any matter concerning any Group Company occurring prior to the Closing Date (other than as contemplated by this Agreement), including for controlling equityholder liability or breach of any fiduciary duty relating to any pre-Closing actions or failures to act by the Company Stockholder Released Parties; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.23 shall release any Company Stockholder Released Parties from: (i) their obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements; or (ii) as applicable, any disputes, claims, losses, controversies, demands, rights, liabilities, breaches of fiduciary duty, actions and causes of action arising out of such Company Stockholder Released Party’s employment by any Group Company.

(b) Effective upon and following the Closing, each Company Stockholder, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Affiliates and Representatives, generally, irrevocably, unconditionally and completely releases and forever discharges Parent and each Group Company, each of their respective Affiliates and each of their and their respective Affiliates’ respective Related Parties, and each of their respective successors and assigns and each of their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Parent Released Parties”) from all disputes, claims, losses, controversies, demands, rights, liabilities, actions and causes of action of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, arising from any matter concerning any Group Company occurring prior to the Closing Date (other than as contemplated by this Agreement, including with respect to Section 7.13); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.23 shall release the Parent Released Parties from their obligations: (i) under this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements or (ii) with respect to any salary, bonuses, vacation pay or employee benefits accrued pursuant to a Company Benefit Plan in effect as of the date of this Agreement or any expense reimbursement pursuant to a policy of the Group Companies in effect as of the date of this Agreement and consistent with past practice.

Section 7.24 Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Seller Representative shall deliver to Parent a schedule (the “RSU Allocation Schedule”) setting forth a proposed allocation of restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) representing the right to receive up to 3,200,000 shares of Parent Class A Stock (which amount shall be subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or other similar event after the date hereof and prior to the date such Restricted Stock Units are issued) to be issued to the officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries designated thereon after the Closing Date.

(b) At the Special Meeting, Parent shall solicit approval from Parent’s stockholders of a management equity plan that permits the issuance of the Restricted Stock Units set forth on the RSU Allocation Schedule and, subject to approval of such management equity plan by Parent’s stockholders in accordance with Applicable Legal Requirements, shall (i) cause the

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 11.1 Stockholder Representative.

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

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

(b) The Company Stockholders will indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreement, in each case as such Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Company Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company Stockholders from funds paid to it under Section 2.14, released from the Adjustment Escrow Account for the benefit of the Company Stockholders and/or otherwise received by it in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement (including for the benefit of the Company Stockholders), for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including fees and disbursements of its counsel, experts and other agents and consultants) incurred by the Stockholder Representative in such capacity. In the event that the Stockholder Representative determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the funds paid to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.14 or otherwise exceed the Stockholder Representative Expenses, the Stockholder Representative shall pay such excess amount to the Company Stockholders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by each of them immediately prior to the Effective Time)

as an addition to the Final Merger Consideration; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, in no event shall such excess amount become payable to Parent or the Surviving Entity. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Stockholders or otherwise. The Company Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

Section 11.5 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and any other documents and instruments and agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto: (a) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; and (b) other than the rights, at and after the Effective Time, of Persons pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.13 and Section 11.15 (which will be for the benefit of the Persons set forth therein), are not intended to confer upon any other Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies.

It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction and immediate injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each Party hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by any other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to bring an action for specific enforcement to cause Parent to seek to enforce the provisions of the Subscription Agreements to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to such Subscription Agreements as if it were a party thereto.

Section 11.9 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

Each Party and any Person asserting rights as a third-party beneficiary hereby agrees not to commence or prosecute any such action, claim, cause of action or suit other than before one of the above-named courts, nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit to any court other than one of the above-named courts, whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise.

THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

Section 11.17 Disclosure Letters and Exhibits. The Company Disclosure Letter and Parent Disclosure Letter shall each be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections in this Agreement, and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered part shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only the particular provision set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered Section or subsection of this Agreement, except to the extent that: (a) such information is cross-referenced in another part of the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable; or (b) it is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure (without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed) that such information qualifies another provision in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this

Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Letter and Parent Disclosure Letter is not intended to imply that such amounts (or higher or lower amounts) are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item, or matter not described herein or included in Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment by the Company or Parent, as applicable, that the matter is required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement, nor shall such disclosure be deemed (a) an admission of any breach or violation of any Contract or Legal Requirement, (b) an admission of any liability or obligation to any third party, or (c) to establish a standard of materiality. The disclosure of any items or information that is not required by this Agreement to be so included is solely for informational purposes and the convenience of Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable. In addition, under no circumstances shall the disclosure of any matter in this Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, where a representation or warranty of the Company or Parent, as applicable, is limited or qualified by the materiality of the matters to which the representation or warranty is given or by Material Adverse Effect, imply that any other undisclosed matter having a greater value or other significance is material or would have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor Parent shall be prejudiced in any manner whatsoever, and no presumptions shall be created, by virtue of the disclosure of any matter in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable, which otherwise is not required to be disclosed by this Agreement.
