The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Investor, and no further approval or authorization is required on the part of the Investor or any other party for such authorization to be effective.

of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of, any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Investor under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (1) its organizational documents or (2) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Investor is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which the Investor or any of the properties or assets of the Investor may be subject, or (B) subject to compliance with the statutes and regulations referred to in the next paragraph, violate any statute, rule or regulation or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Investor or any of its properties or assets except, in the case of clauses (A)(2) and (B), for those occurrences that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have an Investor Material Adverse Effect. “Investor Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the ability of the Investor to consummate the Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)Ownership. Without giving effect to the Purchase, the Investor is not the Beneficial Owner of (i) any Class A Common Shares or (ii) any securities or other instruments representing the right to acquire Class A Common Shares. The Investor does not have a formal or informal agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person (other than the Company) to acquire, dispose of or vote any securities of the Company. “Beneficial Ownership” shall be determined in accordance with Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), including the provision that any member of a “group” shall be deemed to have Beneficial Ownership of all securities Beneficially Owned by other members of the group, and except that the exclusion in Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) for rights to acquire securities that are not exercisable “within 60 days” shall not apply. “Beneficial Owner” and “Beneficially Own” shall have conforming definitions. Unless specified otherwise, all percentage calculations of Beneficial Ownership will be calculated by including securities that the person (including any group of which such person is a member), but not any other person, has the right to acquire in both the numerator and the denominator.

To the extent the Investor transfers its rights to one or more of its Permitted Transferees at or prior to Closing, the representations and warranties in Sections 2.2(a) and (b) shall be deemed to also be made by the Investor in respect of each such Permitted

Transferee and the representation and warranty in Section 2.2(c) shall be deemed to be made in respect of the Investor and such Permitted Transferees collectively.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties will use its commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or desirable, or advisable under applicable laws, so as to (a) permit consummation of the Purchase and the exercisability in full of the Warrant for Warrant Shares as promptly as practicable and otherwise to enable consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents (including making filings and deliveries) and (b) satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 1.2, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party to that end.

Any filing fees payable by any party hereto in connection with filings required under the HSR Act shall be borne entirely by Investor.

Section 3.3Sufficiency of Authorized Class A Common Shares. During the period from the Closing Date until the date on which the Warrant has been fully exercised, the Company shall at all times have reserved for issuance, free of preemptive or similar rights, a sufficient number of authorized and unissued Warrant Shares to effectuate such exercise. Nothing in this Section 3.3 shall preclude the Company from satisfying its obligations in respect of the exercise of the Warrant by

delivery of Class A Common Shares which are held in the treasury of the Company. As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Company shall, at its expense, cause the Warrant Shares to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) at the time they become freely transferable in the public market under the Securities Act, subject to official notice of issuance, and shall maintain such listing on the Nasdaq for so long as any Class A Common Shares are listed on the Nasdaq.

Section 3.4Certain Notifications Until Closing. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, each party shall promptly notify the other party of (a) any fact, event or circumstance of which it is aware and which would be reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or to cause any covenant or agreement of such party contained in this Agreement not to be complied with or satisfied in any material respect and (b) any fact, circumstance, event, change, occurrence, condition or development of which it is aware and which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or an Investor Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be; provided however that, delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall not limit or affect any rights of or remedies available to the other party.

Section 3.5Authorization of Series A Preferred Shares. The Company shall, prior to the Closing, duly and validly authorize the Series A Preferred Shares.

Section 3.6Exclusivity. During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of (a) the Closing, and (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1, the Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause each of its directors, officers, managers, employees, Affiliates and other agents and representatives not to: directly or indirectly, enter into, initiate, seek, or continue any discussions or negotiations with, or knowingly solicit, facilitate or encourage any inquiries or proposals by, or participate in any negotiations with, or provide any information to, or otherwise knowingly cooperate in any way with, any person, concerning the issuance or sale of Preferred Shares, any new class of shares of capital stock of the Company, or any Common Voting Shares or Class A Common Shares (except pursuant to Section 7 of Division A of Article FOURTH of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or pursuant to any Company Share Plan) to provide financing for the Acquisition, in each case, other than with the Investor and its representatives.

Article IV

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 4.1Transfer Restrictions.

(a)Prior to the five year anniversary of the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the Company, the Investor and its Permitted Transferees shall not (i) directly or indirectly transfer, sell, assign, pledge, convey, hypothecate or otherwise

encumber or dispose of any of the Purchased Securities, or (ii) lend, hypothecate or permit any custodian to lend or hypothecate any of the Purchased Securities, provided that, if at any time the Purchased Securities do not qualify as “admitted assets” that are eligible to be reported in the Investor’s or Permitted Transferee’s annual statement under the insurance regulations applicable to the Investor or a Permitted Transferee holding any Purchased Securities, the Company will not unreasonably withhold its consent to a Transfer (as defined below) of the Purchased Securities owned by the Investor or such Permitted Transferee, as applicable, to a third party (subject, in the case of a Transfer of Series A Preferred Shares, to such Transfer satisfying the conditions set forth in the first proviso of Section 4.1(e)). In the case of any such Transfer of the Warrant, the Company will take such actions with respect to allowing transferees of the Warrant to become parties to, and have rights under, the Registration Rights Agreement. Each transaction referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.1(a) is herein called a “Transfer”. Neither exercises of the Warrant for Warrant Shares, nor delivery of Series A Preferred Shares as payment of the exercise price of the Warrant, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, shall be deemed Transfers.

(b)The Investor and the Permitted Transferees (individually or collectively) may not Transfer any Warrant Shares other than (i) in a transaction that has been specifically approved by the Company in writing, (ii) in a public offering registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the manner and to the extent contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or in a sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, where the Company has been offered the opportunity to designate a sole underwriter, broker or market maker, or (iii) in a private transaction or series of related transactions, and, in the case of (ii) or (iii), to the knowledge of the Investor or Permitted Transferee (with no duty of inquiry), no purchaser or group of related purchasers acquires Class A Common Shares in such transaction or series of transactions that, when aggregated with Class A Common Shares and Common Voting Shares already owned by such purchaser or group of related purchasers, represents more than 3.5% of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Shares and Common Voting Shares, considered in the aggregate, and in any case consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 4.1(a) and (b) shall not prevent the Investor and the Permitted Transferees from Transferring any or all of the Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares, at any time, to any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Investor where the Investor beneficially owns at least 80% of the equity interests (measured by both voting rights and value) of such subsidiary and such subsidiary is classified as a domestic partnership or domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each, a “Permitted Transferee”), but only if the Permitted Transferee agrees in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (including these transfer restrictions); provided that, if the Investor ceases to beneficially own at least 80% of the equity interests (measured by both voting rights and value) of such Permitted Transferee, such Permitted Transferee shall be required to transfer such Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares to the Investor or a Permitted Transferee (or in

the case of the Warrant Shares, in accordance with Section 4.1(b)) immediately; provided further that, no such Transfer shall relieve the Investor of its obligations under this Agreement. The Investor shall cause each Permitted Transferee to comply with this Agreement as applicable to it.

(d)Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Investor and its Permitted Transferees may not engage in any Hedging Transaction with respect to any of the Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares (but, in the case of Warrant Shares actually issued upon exercise of the Warrant, only prior to the later of (i) their issuance and (ii) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date). “Hedging Transaction” means any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including any put or call option, swap or other derivative transaction whether settled in cash or securities) to obtain a “short” or “put equivalent position” with respect to the Class A Common Shares.

(e)On and after the five year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Investor and its Permitted Transferees may Transfer the Purchased Securities to any other person, provided that (i) the amount transferred to the transferee is at least equal to the lesser of (x) an amount of Series A Preferred Shares having an aggregate liquidation value of at least $60,000,000 or (y) an amount of Purchased Securities equal to all of the Purchased Securities then owned by Investor together with its Permitted Transferees, (ii) the transfer and resulting ownership are consistent with law and regulation and (iii) the transferee agrees, on terms and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that its transfers, if any, will be subject to this Section 4.1(e), provided further that, in the case of transferees from the Investor or a Permitted Transferee pursuant to this Section 4.1(e), and any subsequent transferees the minimum transfer amount in clause (i) above shall be the lesser of (x) an amount of Purchased Securities having an aggregate liquidation value of at least $30,000,000 and (y) the aggregate amount of Purchased Securities held by such transferee.

(f)The Purchased Securities are, and the Warrant Shares will be when issued, restricted securities under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Investor shall not, directly or through others, offer or sell any Purchased Securities or any Warrant Shares except pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available. Prior to any Transfer of Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Investor shall notify the Company of such Transfer and the Company may require the Investor to provide, prior to such Transfer, such evidence that the Transfer will comply with the Securities Act (including written representations and an opinion of counsel) as the Company may reasonably request. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to any securities that are to be transferred in contravention of this Agreement.

Section 4.2Purchase for Investment. The Investor acknowledges that the Purchased Securities and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws. The Investor (i) is acquiring the Purchased Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act solely for investment with no present intention to distribute them to any person in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable U.S. state securities laws, (ii) will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchased Securities or the Warrant Shares, except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws, (iii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and in investments of this type that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Purchase and of making an informed investment decision, and has conducted a review of the business and affairs of the Company that it considers sufficient and reasonable for purposes of making the Purchase, (iv) is able to bear the economic risk of the Purchase and at the present time is able to afford a complete loss of such investment and (v) is an “accredited investor” (as that term is defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act).

Section 4.3Legend. The Investor agrees that all certificates or other instruments representing Purchased Securities and the Warrant Shares will bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS. THIS INSTRUMENT IS ISSUED PURSUANT TO AND SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF A SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED SEPTEMBER 23, 2020, BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES AND THE INVESTOR REFERRED TO THEREIN, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE ISSUER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID AGREEMENT. ANY SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID AGREEMENT WILL BE VOID.”

In the event that (a) any Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares become registered under the Securities Act or (b) Warrant Shares are eligible to be transferred without restriction in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company shall (subject to the receipt of any evidence required under Section 4.1(e)) issue new certificates or other instruments representing such Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares, which shall not contain such portion of the above legend that is no longer applicable; provided that, the

Investor surrenders to the Company the previously issued certificates or other instruments.

Section 4.4Commitment Fee. In the event that the Closing has not occurred on or before January 31, 2021 (the “Commitment Fee Date”), the Company shall pay to the Investor, on February 1, 2021, a commitment fee in an amount set forth in Schedule I by wire transfer of immediately available United States funds to a bank account that has been designated by the Investor on or prior to the Commitment Fee Date. Such commitment fee shall be fully earned on the Commitment Fee Date and shall in no circumstances be refundable in whole or in part.

Section 4.1Information Rights. For so long as the Investor or its Affiliates hold any Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Investor, except during any period for which the Investor has requested such delivery to be suspended, the financial statements and other information required to be delivered by the Company or its Affiliates to the administrative agent or the lenders pursuant to (a) the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 28, 2017, among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, as administrative agent for the lenders, as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented, extended, replaced, refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time (including pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement Amendment (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter)), including the information described in Section 5.1 thereof; (b) the Senior Secured Bridge Facility (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) or the Senior Unsecured Bridge Facility (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter), as such facilities are committed to be, and as such facilities are, in effect at the time of the Closing, and as such facilities may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented, extended, replaced, refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time; and/or (c) the primary credit or loan facility or facilities of the Company existing from time to time. Such delivery shall be made at substantially the same time as the corresponding delivery to the applicable administrative agent or lenders.

such case, the Company shall promptly pay the Investor on or prior to the SPA Outside Date (without giving effect to any extension thereof), an additional commitment fee in an amount set forth in Schedule I by wire transfer of immediately available United States funds to a bank account that has been designated by the Investor on or prior to such SPA Outside Date.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5.1(a), the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1(a) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement shall have caused or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

(b)by either the Investor or the Company in the event that any Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;

(c)by the Investor upon written notice to the Company if at any time prior to the Closing that certain Voting Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2020 (the “Voting Agreement”), by and among the Target and certain holders of the Common Voting Shares shall have been terminated or amended in whole or in part (including as to any particular stockholder of the Company party thereto), in each case, if as a result of such termination or amendment the holders of Common Voting Shares who are obligated pursuant to the Voting Agreement to vote such Common Voting Shares in favor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and against any contrary actions as set forth therein) collectively hold a number of Common Voting Shares that is less than the number of Common Voting Shares required by applicable law, the Acquisition Agreement or the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market to validly approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that, if the Voting Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause (d) of Section 8 of the Voting Agreement due to an amendment, modification, waiver or other change to any provision of the Merger Agreement, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1(c) shall not be available to the Investor if such amendment, modification, waiver or other change is timely cured during the five (5) day cure period referred to in Section 8 of the Voting Agreement or, if not so cured, the Voting Agreement is otherwise in full force and effect on or prior to the expiration of the fifth day following such cure period; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1(c) shall not be available to the Investor if the Voting Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause (e) of Section 8 of the Voting Agreement due to an amendment, modification, waiver or other change to this Agreement; or

(d)by the mutual written consent of the Investor and the Company.

In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section 5.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of either

party hereto, except that nothing herein shall relieve either party from liability for any breach of this Agreement.

Section 5.2Tax Reporting.

Section 5.8Entire Agreement, Etc. This Agreement (including the Annexes hereto) and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 5.9Definitions of “subsidiary” and “Affiliate”.

(a)When a reference is made in this Agreement to a subsidiary of a person, the term “subsidiary” means those entities of which such person owns or controls more than 50% of the outstanding equity securities either directly or through an unbroken chain of entities as to each of which more than 50% of the outstanding equity securities is owned directly or indirectly by its parent.

Section 5.10Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempt to assign any right, remedy, obligation or liability hereunder without such consent shall be void, except (a) an assignment, in the case of a merger or consolidation where such party is not the surviving entity, or a sale of substantially all of its assets, to the entity which is the survivor of such merger or consolidation or the purchaser in such sale or (b) an assignment by Investor, upon one business day’s notice to the Company, of any or all of its rights hereunder (including under any other Transaction Document) to one or more Permitted Transferees prior to the Closing subject to the requirements and conditions set forth in Section 4.1(c) for a transfer of Purchased Securities and applicable requirements and conditions in the other Transaction Documents. The actions of Investor and/or any Permitted Transferee shall be aggregated for purposes of all thresholds and limitations herein and in the Registration Rights Agreement to the extent (i) Investor transfers any or all of its rights hereunder to any Permitted Transferee prior to the Closing and/or (ii) Investor or any Permitted Transferee transfers any Purchased Securities to any Permitted Transferee following the Closing.

Section 5.11Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or a Transaction Document, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated

hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

Section 5.12No Third Party Beneficiaries.
