(ii) if the Acquiror Common Stock Price is greater than $16.00 (such share price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.06, the “Second Target”) for any period of 20 trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days, 900,000 shares of Acquiror Common Stock plus the amount of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i), if not previously issued; and

(f) During the Earnout Period, Acquiror shall use reasonable efforts for (i) Acquiror to remain listed as a public company on, and for the shares of Acquiror Common Stock (including, when issued, the Earnout Shares) to be tradable over, an Approved Stock Exchange and (ii) the Earnout Shares, when issued, to be approved for listing on an Approved Stock Exchange; provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit Acquiror from consummating a Change in Control or entering into a Contract that contemplates a Change in Control. Upon the consummation of any Change in Control during the Earnout Period, other than as set forth in Section 2.06(b) above, Acquiror shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 2.06(f); provided, further, the foregoing requirements for Earnout Shares to be tradable over an Approved Stock Exchange and approved for listing on an Approved Stock Exchange shall not apply with respect to any Earnout Shares issued pursuant to Section 2.06(g) below.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control has not occurred on or prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date, with respect to any Earnout Shares that have not been issued as of such date, then Acquiror shall issue such unissued Earnout Shares to the NESCO Owner, fully paid but subject to the restrictions set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement and other applicable Securities Law restrictions.

(i) A new Section 2.07 is hereby added to the Agreement as follows:

2.07 NESCO Owner Investment. Concurrently with the Closing, the NESCO Owner shall, or shall cause one or more of its Affiliates to, purchase, and Acquiror shall issue to the NESCO Owner or such Affiliate or Affiliates, 2,500,000 newly-issued shares of Acquiror Common Stock at a price equal to $10.00 per share ($25,000,000 in the aggregate) payable in cash (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an Acquiror bank account specified by Acquiror to the NESCO Owner).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Board of Directors.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time and until a Termination Event (as defined below) shall have occurred, the NESCO Holders holding a majority of the NESCO Shares shall have the right to designate up to three persons to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, for election to the Board (including any successor, each, a “Nominee”) by giving written notice to the Company not later than ten days after receiving notice of the date of the applicable meeting of shareholders provided to the NESCO Holders; provided, however, the initial Nominees shall be appointed as set forth in Section 1(b).

I-1

(b) The Company shall take all necessary and desirable actions within its control such that, as of the Effective Time: (i) the size of the Board shall be set at seven members; and (ii) the following persons, including the two NESCO Directors, shall form the composition of the Board: (A) Xxx Xxxxxxxx and X.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time and until a Termination Event shall have occurred, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, take all necessary and desirable actions within its control (including, without limitation, calling special meetings of the Board and the shareholders and recommending, supporting and soliciting proxies), so that:

(i) for so long as the NESCO Holders (together with their Affiliates) Beneficially Own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or greater than 45% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a non-fully diluted basis; provided, that the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall not be included in such calculation of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding), the NESCO Holders holding a majority of the NESCO Shares shall have the right to nominate, in the aggregate, a number of Nominees equal to four (less the number of NESCO Directors who are not up for election), and the size of the Board shall be set at nine members;

(ii) for so long as the NESCO Holders (together with their Affiliates) Beneficially Own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or greater than 35% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a non-fully diluted basis), but less than 45% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a non-fully diluted basis), the NESCO Holders holding a majority of the NESCO Shares shall have the right to nominate, in the aggregate, a number of Nominees equal to three (less the number of NESCO Directors who are not up for election), and the size of the Board shall be set at eight members;

I-2

(iii) for so long as the NESCO Holders (together with their Affiliates) Beneficially Own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or greater than 15% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a non-fully diluted basis), but less than 35% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a non-fully diluted basis), the NESCO Holders holding a majority of the NESCO Shares shall have the right to nominate, in the aggregate, a number of Nominees equal to two (less the number of NESCO Directors who are not up for election), and the size of the Board shall be set at seven members; and

(iv) for so long as the NESCO Holders (together with their Affiliates) Beneficially Own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or greater than 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a non-fully diluted basis) but less than 15% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a non-fully diluted basis), the NESCO Holders holding a majority of the NESCO Shares shall have the right to nominate, in the aggregate, a number of Nominees equal to one (less the number of NESCO Directors who are not up for election), and the size of the Board shall be set at seven members;

provided, that, no reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock over which the NESCO Holders and their Affiliates retain voting control shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director.

(d) The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that: (i) the applicable Nominees are included in the Board’s slate of nominees to the shareholders of the Company for each election of Directors and recommended by the Board at any meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors; and (ii) each applicable Nominee up for election is included in the proxy statement prepared by management of the Company in connection with the Company’s soliciting proxies or consents in favor of the foregoing for every meeting of the shareholders of the Company called with respect to the election of members of the Board, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written resolution of the shareholders of the Company or the Board with respect to the election of members of the Board. In addition, each Shareholder agrees with the Company that such Shareholder shall vote in favor of each person to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, for election to the Board and who has been recommended by the Board for such appointment or nomination at every meeting of the shareholders of the Company called with respect to the election of members of the Board, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written resolution of the shareholders of the Company or the Board with respect to the election of members of the Board.

(e) If a vacancy occurs because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation or removal of a NESCO Director or for any other reason (including, for avoidance of doubt, vacancies because NESCO Holders have not yet nominated persons to serve as directors pursuant to Section 1(b)), the NESCO Holders holding a majority of the NESCO Shares shall be entitled to designate such person’s successor, and the Company shall, within ten days of such designation, take all necessary actions within its control such that such vacancy shall be filled with such successor Nominee, it being understood that any such successor designee shall serve the remainder of the term of the Director whom such designee replaces. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the director position for such NESCO Director shall not be filled pending such designation and appointment, unless the NESCO Holders fail to designate such Nominee for more than 15 days, after which the Company may appoint an interim successor Director until the NESCO Holders make such designation.

I-3

(f) If a Nominee is not elected because of such Nominee’s death, disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a nominee or for any other reason, the NESCO Holders holding a majority of the NESCO Shares shall be entitled to designate promptly another Nominee and the Shareholders and the Company shall take all necessary and desirable actions within its control such that the director position for which such Nominee was nominated shall not be filled pending such designation or the size of the Board shall be increased by one and such vacancy shall be filled with such successor Nominee within ten days of such designation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the director position for which such Nominee was nominated shall not be filled pending such designation and appointment, unless the NESCO Holders fail to designate such Nominee for more than 30 days, after which the Company may appoint an interim successor nominee who may serve as a director if duly elected until the NESCO Holders make such designation. The NESCO Holders shall not be obligated to designate all (or any) of the directors they are entitled to designate pursuant to this Agreement but the failure to do so shall not constitute a waiver of their rights hereunder.

(g) The Company shall pay the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each NESCO Director in connection with his or her services provided to or on behalf of the Company, including attending meetings (including committee meetings) or events attended on behalf of the Company at the Company’s request.

(h) In accordance with the Company’s Organizational Documents, the Board may from time to time by resolution establish and maintain one or more committees of the Board, each committee to consist of one or more Directors. The Company shall notify the NESCO Holders in writing of any new committee of the Board to be established at least 15 days prior to the effective establishment of such committee. If requested by the NESCO Holders holding a majority of the NESCO Shares, the Shareholders and the Company shall take all necessary steps within its control to cause at least one NESCO Director (selected by such NESCO Holders) to be appointed as a member of each such committee of the Board unless such designation would violate any legal restriction on such committee’s composition or the rules and regulations of any applicable exchange on which the Company’s securities may be listed (subject in each case to any applicable exceptions, including those for “controlled companies” and any applicable phase-in periods).

(i) The Company shall (i) purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount and pursuant to terms determined by the Board to be reasonable and customary and (ii) for so long as any Director to the Board nominated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement serves as a Director of the Company, maintain such coverage with respect to such Directors; provided, that upon removal or resignation of such Director for any reason, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to extend such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for a period of not less than six years from any such event in respect of any act or omission occurring at or prior to such event.

I-4

(j) For so long as any NESCO Director serves as a Director of the Company, the Company shall not amend, alter or repeal any right to indemnification or exculpation covering or benefiting any Director nominated pursuant to this Agreement as and to the extent consistent with applicable Law, including but not limited to any such rights to indemnification or exculpation in the Company’s Organizational Documents (except to the extent such amendment or alteration permits the Company to provide broader indemnification or exculpation rights, in the aggregate and on an individual basis, on a retroactive basis, than permitted prior thereto).

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the NESCO Holders have the right to designate one or more Nominees and either have not exercised such right with respect to any Nominee or no such Nominee has not been elected as a NESCO Director (such that there are no NESCO Directors on the Board), then the NESCO Holders holding a majority of the NESCO Shares may elect at such time in their sole discretion to designate one Board observer (regardless of how many rights to designate Designees such NESCO Holders have) (each, a “Board Observer”) to attend and participate in all meetings of the Board or any committees thereof in a non-voting capacity by the giving of written notice to the Company of such election (“Observation Election”). In connection therewith, the Company shall simultaneously give such Board Observer copies of all notices, consents, minutes and other materials, financial or otherwise, which the Company provides to the Board; provided, however, that if the Board Observer does not, upon the written request of the Company, before attending any meetings of the Board, execute and deliver to the Company an agreement to abide by all Company policies applicable to members of the Board and a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Board Observer may be excluded from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Board determines in good faith, upon advice of counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to protect highly confidential proprietary information of the Company or confidential proprietary information of third parties that the Company is required to hold in confidence, or for other similar reasons. The NESCO Holders holding a majority of the NESCO Shares may revoke any such Observation Election at any time upon written notice to the Company after which the NESCO Holders shall be entitled to designate a replacement Board Observer.

(l) The Nominees may, but do not need to, qualify as “independent” pursuant to listing standards of the Approved Stock Exchange, except that, if the NESCO Holders have the right to designate at least three Nominees, then at least one Nominee shall qualify as “independent” pursuant to listing standards of the Approved Stock Exchange. All other Directors of the Board other than the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall qualify as “independent” pursuant to listing standards of the Approved Stock Exchange.

(m) For the avoidance of doubt, a reduction in the percentage of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the NESCO Holders shall not impact the NESCO Holders’ right to fill a vacancy resulting from any Nominee ceasing to serve as a Director for any reason.

(n) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after the Effective Time and at any time prior to a Termination Event, the Shareholders shall not knowingly take or agree to take, directly or indirectly, any action to frustrate, obstruct or otherwise prevent, the Company from performing its obligations to nominate the Nominees under Section 1(c).

I-5

Section 2. Actions Requiring Special Approval. Without the prior approval of the NESCO Holders, from and after the Effective Time and at any time prior to a Termination Event, the Company shall not take or omit to take, as applicable, or agree to take or omit to take, as applicable, directly or indirectly, any action to increase or decrease the size of the Board or to make a change to the classes on which the Directors serve.

Section 3. Sponsor Earnout Shares.
