(iii) each share of Company Stock issued and outstanding and held by any Subsidiary of either the Company or Parent (other than Merger Subsidiary) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation such that each such Subsidiary owns the same percentage of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such Subsidiary owned of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(iv) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Subsidiary issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and, together with the shares described in Section 2.02(a)(iii), shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(ii) the Company shall take such other actions as are reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the exchange and redemption described in Section 2.02(b) (collectively, the “Exchange and Redemption”) in accordance with the OpCo LLC Agreement; and

(iii) each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically be canceled immediately upon the consummation of the Exchange and Redemption, such that no shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.03. Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) and enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent reasonably acceptable to the Company for the purpose of acting as agent in exchanging for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration (A) certificates representing shares of Company Stock (the “Certificates”) or (B) uncertificated shares of Company Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”). Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the Effective Time), the Company shall send, or shall cause the Paying Agent to send, to each holder of record of shares of Company Stock (other than shares of Company Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(i) or Section 2.02(a)(ii) and shares of Company Stock converted pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(iii)) as of immediately following the Exchange and Redemption and immediately prior to the Effective Time a letter of transmittal (in a form that was reasonably acceptable to the Company prior to the Effective Time) and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or receipt of an “agent’s message”, as applicable) for use in the exchange of such shares of Company Stock for such holder’s applicable portion of the Merger Consideration;

provided, that if any holder of record of shares of Company Stock or OpCo Units requests in writing to the Company (at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing) to receive such letter of transmittal and instructions in advance of the Effective Time, the Company shall send, or shall cause the Paying Agent to send, to each such requesting holder such letter of transmittal and instructions in advance of the Effective Time.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Per Share Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal in the case of certificated shares of Company Stock, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Per Share Consideration in respect of each share of Company Stock represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Share. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal completed by a holder of Company Stock as of immediately following the Exchange and Redemption and immediately prior to the Effective Time that has been converted into the right to receive the Per Share Consideration is received by the Paying Agent (together with the surrender of a Certificate, if applicable) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be paid out of the Payment Fund (as defined below) the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder of Company Stock is entitled as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of the Effective Time. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such applicable portion of the Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Company Stock entitled thereto, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration (excluding any amounts in respect of any Appraisal Shares) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall, pending its disbursement to the holders of Company Stock entitled thereto, be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, (iii) short-term commercial paper rated the highest quality by either Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services, or (iv) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided that no such investment or losses shall affect the amounts payable to such holders of Company Stock entitled thereto and Parent shall promptly replace or cause to be replaced any funds deposited with the Paying Agent that are lost through any investment so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to pay the aggregate unpaid Merger Consideration. Earnings from investments, subject to the immediately preceding proviso, shall be paid to and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Corporation and no interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of any holders of Company Stock entitled to a portion of the Merger Consideration. Except as contemplated by Section 2.03(e) hereof, the Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name a surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes or fees required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. Payment of the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in respect of Uncertificated Shares will only be made to the Person in whose name such Uncertificated Shares are registered as of immediately following the Exchange and Redemption and immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the portion of the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(e) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the former holders of shares of Company Stock entitled thereto one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such former holder of shares of Company Stock who has not exchanged shares of Company Stock for the Per Share Consideration to which they are entitled in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation for payment of the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, in respect of such shares of Company Stock without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any amounts properly paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Stock immediately prior to such time when such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.04. Appraisal Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.02, shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Stock canceled in accordance with Section 2.02(b)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights in respect of such shares in accordance with Delaware Law (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Appraisal Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Per Share Consideration but instead shall be cancelled and the holders thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to payment of the appraised value of such shares in accordance with Delaware Law; provided that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Delaware Law, such shares of Company Stock shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Uncertificated Share, as the case may be. The Company shall provide Parent prompt notice of any

demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Delaware Law that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under Delaware Law consistent with the obligations of the Company thereunder. Except with the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or voluntarily offer to settle or settle, any such demands prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.05. Withholding Rights. Each of the Paying Agent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. The Paying Agent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall consider in good faith any forms or documentation provided by any such Person to obtain exemptions from, or reductions of, any Taxes required to be withheld from payments under this Agreement. If the Paying Agent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, withholds any such amounts and properly pays such amounts over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made.

Section 2.06. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder of record of the Company Stock formerly represented by that Certificate, or by a Representative of such holder claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, the posting by such holder of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or Paying Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay such amount, through its payroll system and subject to Section 2.05, to the holder of the applicable In-the-Money Company Stock Option at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three Business Days after the Effective Time).

Such Cash Award shall remain subject to the same time-vesting terms and conditions that applied to the associated Company Award immediately prior to the Closing, including the requirement of continued service with the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliates through the applicable vesting date or through the end of the original performance period, as applicable, and the applicable cash amounts shall be paid out, without interest and less any applicable tax withholdings, on the next payroll date following the applicable vesting dates, so long as the applicable portion of the Cash Award became or becomes vested prior to the applicable holder’s termination of service with the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates.

As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02 are satisfied and the completion of the Marketing Period, Parent and Merger Subsidiary have no reason to believe that the representations and warranties contained in the immediately preceding sentence will not be true at and as of the Closing Date.

Section 5.10. Solvency. None of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or Sponsors is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(f) In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations required under Applicable Law or applicable rules of the NASDAQ, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9(g) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the 1934 Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal (or any similar communication to stockholders) or (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) or (iii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware Law (provided that this clause (iii) shall not permit the Company to take any action which would constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change, which instead shall be governed by Section 6.03(c), Section 6.03(e) or Section 6.03(h)); provided, that with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), any such action taken or statement made, in and of itself, shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Board of Directors of the Company reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action.

(g) At any time after the No Shop Period Start Date and until the earlier of the valid termination of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than one day after (i) the end of the No Shop Period Start Date with respect to previously received Acquisition Proposals or (ii) receipt by the Company of any Acquisition Proposal, as applicable), which notice shall identify the Third Party making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal and the Company shall reasonably promptly inform Parent (but in no event later than one day) after any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal and shall provide to Parent promptly (but in no event later than one day after receipt thereof) copies of all proposed transaction agreements or proposal letters or other material written agreements sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that describe any material terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal.

(h) Further, nothing contained in Section 6.03(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from, prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, making an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Acquisition Proposal or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), if (i) the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement, as applicable, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to Delaware Law, (ii) the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall have complied in all material respects with Sections 6.03(b) and (c) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, (iii) the Company promptly notifies Parent in writing, at least three (3) Business Days before taking such action, of the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of its intention to take such action, attaching the most current version of the proposed agreement under which such Superior Proposal is proposed to be consummated and the identity of the Third Party making such Superior Proposal and (iv) the Board of Directors of the Company (A) shall have, during such notice period, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent, to the extent Parent requests to negotiate, to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for such Adverse Recommendation Change or valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), (B) shall have considered in good faith any revisions to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document irrevocably proposed in writing by Parent and (C) shall have determined that such Acquisition Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal and the failure to make an Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement, as applicable, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to Delaware Law, if such revisions were to be given effect (provided that it is understood and agreed that the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with clause (i) and providing the notice required by clause (iii) shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change or a basis to terminate this Agreement) (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company but only a new two (2) Business Day period under this Section 6.03(h)). As used in this Agreement:

(i) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement to which the Company is a party that contains provisions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such confidentiality agreement may contain a less restrictive or no standstill restriction.

(ii) “Intervening Event” means a material fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances that was not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date hereof (or if known to the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date hereof, the consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date hereof) and becomes known to the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained; provided, however that none of the following will constitute, or be considered in determining whether there has been, an Intervening Event: (A) the receipt, existence of or terms of an Acquisition Proposal or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof and (B) changes in the market price or trading volume of the shares of Company Stock or the fact that the Company meets or exceeds internal or published projections, budgets, forecasts or estimates of revenues, earnings or other financial results for any period (provided, however, that the underlying causes of such change or fact shall not be excluded by this clause (B)).

(iii) “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal for at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Stock (assuming the prior exchange of all OpCo Units for shares of Company Stock) or at least a majority of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries that was not solicited in breach in any material respect of the terms of Sections 6.03(b) or (c) and that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into account all relevant terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (including legal, regulatory, financing and closing conditions), is more favorable from a financial perspective to the holders of the Company Stock than the Merger (taking into account any irrevocable written proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.03(h)).

(iv) “Excluded Party” means any Third Party (i) from whom the Company or any of its Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement and prior to the No Shop Period Start Date; and (ii) whose Acquisition Proposal the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a Superior Proposal. Any Third Party shall cease to be an Excluded Party under this Agreement with respect to a particular Acquisition Proposal upon such time as such Acquisition Proposal made by such Third Party is withdrawn, cancelled, terminated or otherwise expires or the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) is no longer, and no longer would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a Superior Proposal.

Section 6.04. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the earlier of the valid termination of this Agreement or the Effective Time and subject to Applicable Law (including COVID-19 Measures) and the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company shall during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice, and solely for purposes of furthering the Merger or integration planning relating thereto, (a) give to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to its officers, key employees, offices, properties, Contracts and books and records and (b) instruct its employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized Representatives to reasonably cooperate with Parent in such access; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing shall not require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to permit access to (A) any information that would give rise to the waiver of any attorney-client privilege or other privilege or trade secret protection or the work product doctrine (provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make any such information available in such a way that would not reasonably be expected to jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or other privilege or trade secret protection or the work product doctrine), (B) any information that in the good faith reasonable opinion of the Company would violate any Applicable Law, (C) such documents or information that are reasonably pertinent to any pending litigation, suit, action or proceeding between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand, (D) subject to, and without limiting, the requirements of Section 6.03 and Section 8.01(a), any information related to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or to transactions potentially competing with or alternative to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or proposals from other third parties relating to any competing or alternative transactions (including Acquisition Proposals) and the actions of the Company’s Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) with respect to any of the foregoing, whether prior to or after execution of this Agreement, or (E) subject to, and without limiting, the requirements of Section 6.03, any information related to an Adverse Recommendation Change or the actions of the Company’s Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) with respect thereto, (ii) any such investigation shall be conducted under reasonable supervision of appropriate personnel of the Company and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or otherwise result in any unreasonable burden with respect to the prompt and timely discharge by employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries of their normal duties and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize to the extent reasonably practicable any disruption to the businesses of the Company that may result from any such requests for access and (iii) any access to the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures, policies and insurance requirements and will not include the right to sample soil, sediment, groundwater, surface water, air or building materials or conduct any other environmental sampling or analysis. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.04 will be construed to require the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information that create an unreasonable burden on the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries. In addition, the Company, its Subsidiaries and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to arrange for, as reasonably agreed by Parent and the Company, communication strategies for, and joint meetings of the Company and Parent with, the Company’s customers, suppliers, and employees; provided, that (y) such meetings do not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (z) a Representative of the Company must be present at all times during such meetings. The Company may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate commercially sensitive material provided to the other as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions, and such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only

to the outside counsel of the recipient, or otherwise as the restriction indicates, and be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with the consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Company may satisfy its obligations set forth above by electronic means if physical access is not reasonably feasible or would not be permitted under Applicable Law (including as a result of COVID-19 Measures).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to take or permit the taking of any action pursuant to this Section 6.05: (A) that would require the Company or any of its Affiliates or any other Persons who are directors or officers of such entities to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing that are not conditioned upon the effectiveness of the Closing; provided that any director or officer whose resignation becomes effective immediately after the Closing occurs shall not be required to pass resolutions or consents, (B) that would require the Company or any of its Affiliates or any other Persons who are directors or officers of such entities to execute or deliver any certificate, document, instrument or agreement, or agree to any change or modification of any existing certificate, opinion, document, instrument or agreement, in each case, prior to the Closing (it being understood that no obligations of the Company under any certificate, opinion, document, instrument or agreement delivered pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall be required to be effective prior to the Closing), (C) that would cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached by the Company or any of its Affiliates or would cause any condition to the Closing to fail to be satisfied, (D) that would require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay (x) any commitment or other similar fee or (y) incur any other expense, liability or obligation in connection with the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing that, in the case of this clause (y), would not be subject to the Reimbursement Obligations of Parent, (E) that could cause any director, officer or employee or stockholder of the Company or any of its Affiliates to incur any personal liability, (F) that could reasonably be expected to conflict with, result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) under, any of their respective organizational documents, or any Applicable Law or Material Contracts not entered into in contemplation of the obligations of the Company under this Section 6.05, (G) that provides access to or discloses information that the Company or any of its Affiliates determines could reasonably be expected to jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality obligations contained in any Material Contracts not entered into in contemplation of the obligations of the Company under this Section 6.05 binding on, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (H) that would, in the opinion of the Company in good faith, unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of its or its Affiliates’ businesses or would require an action that is not within the control of the Company or its Affiliates using reasonable best efforts or (I) that

(b) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (jointly and severally) shall indemnify and hold harmless all Indemnified Persons to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law in the event of any threatened or actual claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation (a “Claim”), whether civil, criminal or administrative, based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that the Indemnified Person is or was a director (including in a capacity as a member of any board committee), manager, officer or fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before, on or after the Effective Time, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any Claim to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such expenses if such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification under Applicable Law), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of or in connection with any such threatened or actual Claim. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Claim for which indemnification has been sought by an Indemnified Person hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Claim, does not include any admission of wrongdoing on the part of such Indemnified Person, or such Indemnified Person otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with an Indemnified Person in the defense of any matter for which such Indemnified Person seeks indemnification hereunder.

These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.03 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnified Person.

Section 7.04. Employee Matters.

(a) With respect to each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Company Employees”), for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing (or, if earlier, until the termination of the applicable Company Employee’s employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their Affiliates), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide (i) base salary or wage rates, severance and target annual and quarterly cash bonus opportunities to such Company Employee that, in each case, is not less favorable than the base

salary or wage rates, severance and target annual and quarterly cash bonus opportunities provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time (or, if more favorable to such Company Employee, the compensation and benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates) and (ii) other employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate to those employee benefits that such Company Employee was entitled to receive immediately prior to the Closing (in each case without regard to any retention, change in control, stay, transaction, or similar non-routine compensation or compensation opportunities, or equity or equity-based compensation); provided, however, that in all events the compensation, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment provided by Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall (x) be no less than those required under Applicable Law, and (y) comply with the terms of the Business Sale Agreement and applicable Local Transfer Agreements.

(c) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans (the “Parent Plans”), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of or entitlement to benefits, benefit accruals, early retirement subsidies and vesting, each Company Employee’s service where length of service is relevant (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the such predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary under the comparable Employee Plans) shall be treated as service with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates, as applicable; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits or was not credited for the same purpose with respect to such Company Employee under the analogous Employee Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Parent shall waive, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates to waive, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, waiting periods, evidence of insurability or similar limitations, under any Parent Plans in which any Company Employee (or the dependents of any eligible employee) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time. Parent shall recognize or credit, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates to recognize or credit, any deductible, co-insurance, maximum out of pocket expenses or other payments incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) under any applicable Employee Plan during the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible, co-payment limitations and out-of-pocket maximums under the relevant welfare benefit plans, including the Parent Plans and Employee Plans, in which such Company Employee will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

(e) Upon the request of the Company, Parent shall provide all information reasonably requested by the Company and in sufficient time to enable the Company and its Subsidiaries to meet any notification, information and consultation requirements, pursuant to any collective bargaining or similar agreement and Applicable Laws, and the parties agree to work together in good faith to consult with, or obtain the consent or advice of, any labor union, labor organization or other employee representative body as commercially practicable or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) The Company will take all actions necessary to (i) cancel all outstanding participant elections under the Company’s ESPP with respect to the planned first offering period, which is scheduled to begin on November 16, 2021, (ii) cause such offering period not to commence, and to cause no other offering period to commence, and (iii) terminate the Company ESPP prior to the Effective Time; provided that if it is not administratively practicable for the Company to cancel all outstanding participant elections and prevent the offering period that is scheduled to begin on November 16, 2021 from commencing, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary or required under the Company ESPP and applicable Laws to discontinue such offering period as soon as administratively practicable after it commences (but in all events prior to the Effective Time) and to return all amounts credited to participant accounts under the Company ESPP as soon as administratively practicable thereafter to the applicable participant or his or her applicable beneficiary.

(g) The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 7.04 with respect to Company Employees are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and shall not create any right (i) in any other Person, including any employee, officer, independent contractor, former employee or any participant or any beneficiary thereof in any Employee Plan or Parent Plan, or (ii) to guaranteed employment with the Company, Parent, Surviving Corporation, or any of their Subsidiaries for any period of time or preclude the ability to terminate the employment of any Company Employee for any reason. After the Effective Time, notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 7.04, nothing contained in this Section 7.04 is intended to be or shall be considered to be an amendment or adoption of any plan, program, agreement, arrangement or policy of the Parent or Surviving Corporation nor shall it interfere with the Parent’s, or any of its Subsidiaries’ right to amend, modify or terminate any Employee Plan or to terminate the employment of any employee of Parent or its Subsidiaries for any reason.

Any breach of the Commitment Letters, the Financing agreements, any Alternative Financing commitment or any Definitive Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Agreements by Parent or Merger Subsidiary shall be deemed a breach by Parent of this Section 7.05.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, agree to or permit any termination, amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification of, or waive any of its rights under, the Commitment Letters or Definitive Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Agreements without Parent’s prior written consent; provided that Parent may, without the Company’s prior written consent: (i) enter into any amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Debt Commitment Letter, the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter or any Definitive Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Agreements that would not, and would not reasonably be expected to, (A) reduce the amount of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, to an amount that will be less than the Required Amount, (B) adversely affect the ability of Parent and Merger Subsidiary to enforce its rights against any other party to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements, in each case, as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement, relative to the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof, (C) prevent, materially delay or impede the consummation of the Merger, the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the applicable Debt Commitment Letter or Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, or (D) impose any new or additional conditions, or otherwise expand any of the conditions, to the availability and funding of Debt/Preferred Equity Financing as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable, and (ii) amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify the Debt Commitment Letter or the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, book runners, syndication agents, purchasers or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter or Preferred Equity Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement. Upon any such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver, the terms “Debt Commitment Letter”, “Preferred Commitment Letter”, “Definitive Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Agreement”, as applicable, shall mean the Debt Commitment Letter, Preferred Equity Commitment Letter or Definitive Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Agreement, as applicable, as so amended, replaced, supplemented or modified. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification of the Debt Commitment Letter or Preferred Equity Commitment Letter and/or any such waiver of a provision of the Debt Commitment Letter or Preferred Equity Commitment Letter.

(c) If all or any portion of the Debt Financing or Preferred Equity Financing, as applicable, becomes unavailable, or the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements shall be withdrawn, repudiated, terminated or rescinded, regardless of the reason therefor, then Parent shall (i) use reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable, from the same and/or alternative debt or preferred equity financing sources, as applicable, alternative financing in an amount, together with the amount of Financing remaining available and cash and cash equivalent on hand at the Company and its Subsidiaries, sufficient to pay the Required Amount on the Closing Date, in each case, upon terms and conditions not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any related “market flex” provisions) (“Alternative Financing”) and (ii) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor; provided that such reasonable best efforts shall not require Parent to pay more fees, OIDs or incur an increase in pricing than the pricing terms of the Debt Commitment Letter or Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, taking into account any flex terms. In the event any Alternative Financing is obtained in accordance with this Section 7.05(c), references in this Agreement to

“Debt Financing”, “Preferred Equity Financing” or “Debt/Preferred Equity Financing”, as applicable, shall also be deemed to refer to such Alternative Financing, as appropriate, and if one or more commitment letters or definitive financing agreements are entered into or proposed to be entered into in connection with such Alternative Financing, references in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letter”, “Preferred Equity Commitment Letter” and the “Definitive Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Agreements”, as applicable, shall also be deemed to refer to such commitment letters and definitive financing agreements relating to such Alternative Financing, as appropriate, and all obligations of Parent pursuant to this Section 7.05 and all obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 6.05 shall be applicable thereto to the same extent as Parent’s obligations with respect to the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing.

(d) Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges and agrees that neither the obtaining of the Financing or any Alternative Financing, nor the completion of any issuance of securities contemplated by the Financing or any Alternative Financing, is a condition to the Closing, and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any Alternative Financing, or the completion of any such issuance, subject to the applicable conditions in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 and the completion of the Marketing Period.

ARTICLE 10

(d) by the Company, if:

(i) prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company has received a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company has complied in all material respects with Section 6.03(h) and, in accordance with Section 6.03(h), authorizes the Company to enter into a definitive agreement providing for the consummation of such Superior Proposal; provided that substantially concurrently with such termination, the Company pays the Company Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 11.04(b)(ii);

(ii) a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Subsidiary set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.03 not to be satisfied, and (A) such breach is incapable of being cured by the End Date or (B) if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured before the earlier of (1) twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of written notice from the Company of such breach or (2) one (1) day prior to the End Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(d)(ii) shall not be available to the Company if the Company’s breach of any provision of this Agreement has been the primary cause of any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 not to be satisfied; or

(iii) (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur on the date of termination), (B) Parent and Merger Subsidiary fail to consummate the Merger by the date the Closing was required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.01(b), (C) the Company has irrevocably notified Parent in writing that the Company stands ready, willing and able to consummate the Merger, (D) the Company shall have given Parent written notice at least two (2) Business Days prior to such termination stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(d)(iii), and (E) the Merger shall not have been consummated by the end of such two (2) Business Day period.

The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the Effective Time, and no claims (whether sounding, in contract, in tort or otherwise) with respect to any of the foregoing (including with respect to any breach of any of the foregoing) may be made or asserted after the Effective Time; provided that this Section 11.02 shall not limit any covenant or agreement by the parties that by its terms contemplates performance at or after the Closing or the Effective Time or limit, prohibit or restrict any claim with respect to any such covenant or agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no party to this Agreement shall be precluded from bringing a claim for Fraud.

Section 11.03. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however, that after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall be no amendment or waiver that by Applicable Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such approval having been obtained; provided further that any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification to this proviso in Section 11.03, Section 11.04(c), Section 11.04(e) Section 11.04(f) (solely with respect to the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities), Section 11.06(a), Section 11.11, Section 11.14 or Section 11.15 (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provisions would modify the substance of the foregoing provisions) in any matter that is adverse to the interest of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities shall not be effective without the consent of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Sources party to the Debt Commitment Letter or Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 11.04. Expenses.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.04 and the Reimbursement Obligations under Section 6.05(b), all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

(b) Company Termination Fee.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent in immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days after such termination. “Company Termination Fee” means (i) solely if payable by the Company in connection with a termination by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i) prior to the Cut-Off Date to enter into a definitive agreement providing for the consummation of a Superior Proposal made by an Excluded Party or its Affiliates, which Superior Proposal was made prior to the Cut-Off Date, an amount equal to $145,632,500, and (ii) if payable by the Company in any other circumstance, an amount equal to $291,265,000.

(ii) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent in immediately available funds substantially concurrently with such termination.

(iii) If (A) after the date of this Agreement, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly made to the Company or shall have been publicly made directly to the stockholders of the Company generally or shall have otherwise become publicly disclosed (and, in any such case, such Acquisition Proposal is not publicly withdrawn at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting), (B) thereafter, this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) or Section 10.01(b)(iii), and (C) within twelve (12) months after such termination, the Company consummates or enters into a definitive agreement providing for the consummation of, an Acquisition Proposal that is subsequently consummated (whether or not within such twelve (12) month period), then the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of same-day funds on the date of consummation of such Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of Section 11.04(b), all references to “20%” and “80%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

(c) Parent Termination Fee. If this Agreement is terminated (x) by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(ii) (or by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) at a time when the Company would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(ii)) or (y) by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(iii) (or by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) at a time when the Company would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(iii)), then, in any such case, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company an amount equal to $582,530,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) not later than the second (2^nd) Business Day following such termination.

(d) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 11.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) without these agreements, the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary would not enter into this Agreement and (iii) each of the Company Termination Fee and the Parent Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company or Parent, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 11.04 and, in order to obtain such payment, either Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences a suit that results in a judgment against the other party for the payment of any amount set forth in this Section 11.04, such paying party shall pay the other party its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the annual rate of the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by Applicable Law (collectively, the “Enforcement Expenses”); provided that in no event shall either party be obligated to pay more than $12,500,000 in Enforcement Expenses.

(e) Parent and Merger Subsidiary agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.04 and such Company Termination Fee is paid in full, except for the Enforcement Expenses, (i) Parent, Merger Subsidiary, Sponsors, or any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, equityholders or Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company, at law or in equity or otherwise relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) none of Parent or Merger Subsidiary shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, stockholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) Parent’s right to receive payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Related Parties for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and (iv) upon payment of such amount, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(f) The Company agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Parent Termination Fee is payable by Parent pursuant to this Section 11.04 and such Parent Termination Fee is paid in full, except for the Enforcement Expenses and Reimbursement Obligations, (i) the Company Related Parties shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Parent, at law or in equity or otherwise relating to, arising out

of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the Company shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgement or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Parent Related Parties or any of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (iii) the Company’s right to receive payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company Related Parties against the Parent Related Parties or any of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and (iv) upon payment of the Parent Termination Fee, none of the Parent Related Parties or any of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities shall have any further liability or obligation to any of the Company Related Parties relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that (i) nothing in this Section 11.04 shall impair the Company’s or Parent’s right to seek specific performance prior to the valid termination of this Agreement solely to the extent permitted under Section 11.13, (ii) the parties to the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain obligated for, and the Company shall be entitled to remedies with respect to, breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement, (iii) nothing in this Section 11.04 shall limit or otherwise affect Sponsors’ obligations under the Fee Funding Agreements or prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters, (iv) following a termination of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall remain liable hereunder, and each Sponsor shall remain liable under the applicable Fee Funding Agreement to which it is a party, for the Parent Termination Fee, any Enforcement Expenses or the Reimbursement Obligations that become due and payable until paid, and (v) following a termination of this Agreement, the Company shall remain liable hereunder for the Company Termination Fee and any Enforcement Expenses that become due and payable until paid. For the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance prior to the termination of this Agreement, and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee, if applicable, under Section 11.04, following a termination of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance to cause the Closing to occur and monetary damages or all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee.

Section 11.05. Disclosure Letter References. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other provisions hereof of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement, and any other representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other provisions hereof of such party that is contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and other provisions hereof, would be reasonably apparent based solely on the face of such disclosure. The Company Disclosure Letter is incorporated by reference into and made a part of this Agreement. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision hereof shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

Section 11.06. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except for (or as provided in) Article 2 (following the Effective Time), Section 6.05, Section 7.03, Section 11.04, Section 11.14, Section 11.15, Section 11.16, and Section 11.17, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities are express third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions of this Agreement reflecting the agreements in this Section 11.06, Section 11.03, Section 11.04(c), Section 11.04(e), Section 11.04(f) (solely with respect to the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities), Section 11.11, Section 11.14 and Section 11.15.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 11.06(b) shall be null and void.

Section 11.07. Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes relating to or arising from this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or the negotiation or performance of any of the foregoing (whether based on contract, tort, or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably waives any objections or immunities to the jurisdiction provided in this Section 11.07 to which it may otherwise be entitled or become entitled (including sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in any legal suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which is instituted in any such court.

Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company agrees to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating hereto in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County and, if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the United States District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, and, if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (i) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, (ii) the United States District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, or (iii) the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, and hereby further irrevocably and

unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The parties agree that a final trial court judgment in any such suit, action or other proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at the addresses set forth in Section 11.01 shall be effective service of process for any litigation, suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.

Section 11.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

Section 11.10. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by each other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, “.pdf” format or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 11.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Letter, the Commitment Letters, and the Fee Funding Agreements, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 11.12. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated 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 a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.13. Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or breach. Accordingly, subject to the limitations set forth herein, the parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the Company of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the Company, as applicable, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other parties (as applicable), and to specific performance by the other parties (as applicable) of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other parties (as applicable) under this Agreement, without proof of actual harm or the inadequacy of a legal remedy and without bond or other security being required. The pursuit of specific enforcement or other equitable remedies by any party will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy (whether at law or in equity) to which such party may be entitled at any time, subject to the limitations on remedies set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that, prior to the Closing, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance to cause Parent to draw down the full proceeds of the Equity Financing and to cause Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 2.01, on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, if and only if, (i) all conditions in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied if Closing were on such date), (ii) the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing (or, if Alternative Financing is being used in accordance with Section 7.06(c), the financing to be made available pursuant to the commitments with respect thereto) has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, (iii) Parent has failed to consummate the Closing at the time when it was required under Section 2.01, and (iv) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent that if specific performance were granted and the Financing were funded, then the Closing would occur in accordance with Section 2.01.

(c) Subject to the limitations on remedies set forth in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise at any time of any other remedy.

The parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 11.13, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek at any time any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Fee Funding Agreements, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 11.13 shall require any party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 11.13 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 10, nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 11.13 or anything set forth in this Section 11.13 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 10 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Fee Funding Agreements that may be available then or thereafter (subject the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein); provided that the parties acknowledge and agree that, while the Company may pursue a grant of specific performance prior to the termination of this Agreement, following a termination of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to seek a grant of specific performance to cause the Closing to occur; provided that the Company may continue any ongoing Action for specific performance filed prior to a purported termination of this Agreement.
