As of the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and all Eligible Shares shall thereafter only represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g), in each case to be issued or paid in accordance with Section 2.3, without interest.

(ii)Each Share held in the treasury of the Company or owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Merger Sub Inc. immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, “Excluded Shares”) shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(iii)Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub Inc. issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(iv)The Merger Consideration and the Exchange Ratio, as applicable, shall be adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, split-up, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock, or any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to the Company Common Stock or the Parent Common Stock, in each case having a record date occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time; provided, that nothing in this ‎Section 2.1(a)(iv) shall be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to its securities or otherwise that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(b)At the Second Company Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Company Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub LLC or the holders of any shares of capital stock or other equity interests of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Merger Sub LLC, each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued pursuant to the First Company Merger and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Company Merger Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor, and Parent shall continue as the sole member of the Surviving Company.

Section 2.2Treatment of Equity-Based Awards.

(a)At the Effective Time, each award of restricted common stock of the Company granted under the Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company Restricted Stock Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and eligible to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1, and treated as shares of Company Common Stock.

(b)The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that, as of the Effective Time, (i) the Company Stock Plan shall terminate and (ii) no holder of a Company Restricted Stock Award or any participant in any Company Stock Plan or any other employee incentive or benefit plan, program or arrangement or any non-employee director plan maintained by the Company shall have any rights to acquire, or other rights in respect of, the capital stock of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or any of their Subsidiaries, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

Section 2.3Exchange and Payment.

(a)Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of Eligible Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient in order for the Exchange Agent to distribute the aggregate Merger Consideration. From time to time as needed as reasonably determined by Parent, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g). All such cash, dividends, distributions and shares of Parent Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent are hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”. The Exchange Agent will, pursuant to irrevocable instructions reasonably acceptable to the Company, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be paid for the Eligible Shares pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated by Sections 2.3(d) and 2.3(g), the Exchange Fund will not be used for any other purpose.

(b)As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate (“Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Eligible Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates held by such Person shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and which letter shall be in customary form and contain such other provisions as Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g). Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the Eligible Shares formerly represented by such Certificate that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Eligible Shares then held by such holder under all Certificates so surrendered) to which such holder of Eligible Shares shall have become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (which shares of Parent Common Stock shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested), any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Promptly after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the third Business Day thereafter, the Surviving Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to issue and send to each holder of uncertificated Eligible Shares represented by book entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) (i) a notice advising such holders of the effectiveness of the Mergers, (ii) a statement reflecting the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (after taking into account all Eligible Shares then held by such holder) and (iii) a check or wire transfer in the amount equal to any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section

2.3(d) and cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.3(g)), without such holder being required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent, and such Book-Entry Shares shall then be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any unpaid dividends and distributions or cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g).

(c)If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that such Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax is not applicable.

(d)(i) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock that the holder thereof has the right to receive upon the surrender thereof until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. Following the surrender of a Certificate by a record holder of Eligible Shares in accordance with this Article II, there shall be paid to such holder, without interest, (1) promptly after such surrender, the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (2) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, holders of Book-Entry Shares who are entitled to receive shares of Parent Common Stock under this Article II shall be paid (A) at the time of payment of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.3(b), the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the time of such payment by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.3(b) and a payment date subsequent to the time of such payment by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.3(b) payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(e)The Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g) issued and paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the

Shares formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for transfer or transfer is sought for Book-Entry Shares, such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares.

(f)The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any interest or other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent, upon demand.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, no dividends or other distributions with respect to the Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall pay to each former stockholder of the Company who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying (i) the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive (taking into account all Eligible Shares held at the Effective Time by such holder and rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) pursuant to Section 2.1(a), by (ii) the average of the volume weighted average prices per share of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) (as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. or, if not reported by Bloomberg, L.P., in another authoritative source mutually selected by Parent and the Company) (“Parent VWAP”) for the ten consecutive trading days ending with the last complete trading day prior to the Closing Date.

(h)Any portion of the Exchange Fund (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company, upon demand, and any remaining holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (except to the extent representing Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company as general creditors thereof for payment of the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g) (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws), without interest.

(i)None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(j)If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Exchange Agent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if

required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Company with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g).

(k)Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.1(a) to pay for Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected as described in Section 2.5 shall be returned to Parent, upon demand; provided that the Parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall not be required under this Section 2.3 or otherwise to deposit with the Exchange Agent any cash to pay Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g) with respect to Shares as to which its holder has purported to deliver a notice or demand of appraisal that has not been withdrawn prior to the Closing Date.

(l)On the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall set aside shares of Parent Common Stock out of the Merger Consideration which would be issuable to the holders of the Convertible Notes upon completion of an “Accelerated Mandatory Conversion” of the Convertible Notes pursuant to the Convertible Notes Indenture. The Company shall take the necessary steps under the Convertible Notes Indenture to commence and effect an “Accelerated Mandatory Conversion” of the Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Convertible Notes Indenture no later than the fifth Trading Day following the Closing Date. Upon completion of the Accelerated Mandatory Conversion and compliance by holders of the Convertible Notes with the applicable conversion procedures in the Convertible Notes Indenture, the Exchange Agent will distribute to the trustee under the Convertible Notes Indenture or the holders of Convertible Notes the shares of Parent Common Stock out of the Merger Consideration that such holders are entitled to receive.

Section 2.4Withholding Rights. The Parent Parties, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall each be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Shares or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Parent Parties, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent determines in good faith it is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made, and, if a portion of the Parent Common Stock otherwise deliverable to a Person is withheld hereunder, the relevant withholding party shall be treated as having sold such Parent Common Stock on behalf of such Person for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of the required withholding (which fair market value shall be deemed to be the closing price of shares of Parent Common Stock on NASDAQ on the Closing Date) and having paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate Governmental Entity. If the Parent Parties, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent determines that any withholding is required with respect to the Merger Consideration (other than

backup withholding or withholding from compensatory payments), then it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice of such determination to the Company prior to withholding and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the payee’s efforts to mitigate any such requirement in accordance with applicable Law; provided, however, none of the Parent Parties, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be required to take any steps to reduce or avoid deduction or withholding if such steps can reasonably be expected to result in any unreimbursed costs, expenses or Taxes for such Person or any of its Affiliates and no restructuring of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be required in order to reduce or eliminate any withholding.

Section 2.5Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall be treated in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, then (i) such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon cease to constitute Dissenting Shares and (ii) the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall be forfeited and cease and if such forfeiture shall occur following the Effective Time, each such Dissenting Share shall thereafter be deemed to have been converted into and to have become, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive, without interest thereon, the Merger Consideration. The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any Shares, attempted withdrawals of such notices or demands and any other instruments received by the Company relating to rights to appraisal, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, settle or offer to settle, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (1) the Company receives a written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board believes in good faith to be bona fide, (2) such Acquisition Proposal was not solicited after the date of this Agreement in violation of Section 5.2(a) and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.2, (3) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (4) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that the failure to take the actions referred to in clause (x) or (y) below would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, then the Company may (x) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality terms that, taken as a whole, are substantially similar to, and no less favorable, in any material respect, to the Company than, those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, that (I) the Company shall provide Parent a copy (which may be redacted) of each confidentiality agreement the Company has executed in accordance with this Section 5.2 and (II) that any non-public information provided to any such Person shall have been previously provided to Parent or shall be provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with (or, in the case of oral communication only, within 24 hours after) the time it is provided to such Person, and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and any of such Person’s Representatives and potential financing sources regarding such Acquisition Proposal and take any other actions with respect to such Acquisition Proposal that would otherwise be restricted by Section 5.2(a)(i), Section 5.2(a)(ii) or Section 5.2(a)(iii) (it being understood that no solicitation under this clause (y) shall result in any proposal or offer being deemed to be “solicited”). Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through any Representative, from seeking to clarify the terms and conditions of such inquiry or proposal to determine whether such inquiry or proposal constitutes or would be reasonably expected to lead to a Superior Proposal. The Company shall not provide (and shall not permit any of its Representatives to provide) any commercially or competitively sensitive non-public information in connection with the actions

permitted by this Section 5.2(a), except in accordance with “clean room” or other similar procedures designed to limit any adverse effect of the sharing of such information on the Company, which procedures shall be consistent in all material respects with the Company’s practices in dealing with the disclosures of such information to Parent or its Representatives.

(b)Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall:

(i)(1) withdraw (or modify or qualify in any manner adverse to the Parent Parties) the recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board or any such committee of this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, (2) recommend or otherwise declare advisable the approval by the stockholders of the Company of any Acquisition Proposal, or (3) resolve, agree or publicly propose to take any such actions (each such action set forth in this Section 5.2(b)(i) being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); or

(ii)cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract, except for an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (each, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), in each case constituting or related to, or which is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or resolve, agree or publicly propose to take any such actions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may, if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, taking into account all adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered by Parent pursuant to this Section 5.2, (x) make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to either (I) a Superior Proposal or (II) an Intervening Event, or (y) solely in response to a Superior Proposal received after the date hereof that was not solicited after the date of this Agreement in violation of Section 5.2(a) and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.2, cause the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(d)(ii) and concurrently enter into a binding Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company may not make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) unless:

(A)the Company notifies Parent in writing at least four Business Days before taking that action of its intention to do so, and specifies the reasons therefor, including the terms and conditions of, and the identity of the Person making, such Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other amendment to any material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notice by the Company and a new notice period; provided, that such notice period shall be shortened to two Business Days); and

(B)if Parent makes a proposal during such four Business Day period to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board, after taking into consideration the adjusted terms and conditions of this Agreement as proposed by Parent, continues to determine in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that such Superior Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement, as applicable, would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law;

provided further, that the Company Board may not make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event unless:

(1)the Company notifies Parent in writing at least four Business Days before making an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Intervening Event of its intention to do so and specifies the reasons therefor and provides reasonable detail describing the Intervening Event; and

(2)if Parent makes a proposal during such four Business Day period to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board, after taking into consideration the adjusted terms and conditions of this Agreement as proposed by Parent, continues to determine in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law.

During the four Business Day period prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement as referred to above, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent seeks to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms (including the payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.3(b), if applicable).

(c)In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 5.2(a) and Section 5.2(b), the Company promptly (and in any event within the longer of one Business Day and 48 hours of receipt) shall advise Parent in writing in the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives (i) any indication by any Person that it is considering making an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any inquiry or request for information, discussion or negotiation that would reasonably be expected to lead to or that contemplates an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, in each case together with a description of the material terms and conditions of any such indication, inquiry, request, proposal or offer and the identity of the Person making any such indication, inquiry, request, proposal or offer. The Company shall keep Parent informed in all material respects on a timely basis of the status and details (including, within the longer of one Business Day and 48 hours after the occurrence of any material amendment, modification, development, discussion or negotiation) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request, inquiry, proposal or offer. Without limiting any of the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within the longer of one Business Day and 48 hours) notify Parent if it determines to

begin providing information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Section 5.2(a) and shall in no event begin providing such information or engaging in such discussions or negotiations prior to providing such notice. The Company shall provide Parent with at least 24 hours’ prior notice (or such shorter notice as may be provided to the Company Board) of a meeting of the Company Board at which the Company Board is reasonably expected to consider an Acquisition Proposal.

(d)The Company agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.2 by or at the direction of, or with prior knowledge by, the Company Board, any member thereof or any executive officer of the Company, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement by the Company.

(e)The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that would restrict the Company’s ability to comply with any of the terms of this Section 5.2, and represents that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any such agreement.

(f)Nothing contained in Section 5.2(a) shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing a position contemplated by Rule 14e‑2(a), Rule 14d‑9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M‑A promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d‑9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change (including for purposes of Section 7.1(c)(ii)) unless the Company Board expressly reaffirms its recommendation to the Company’s stockholders in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Mergers, in such disclosure and expressly rejects any applicable Acquisition Proposal.

(g)For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)“Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer with respect to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase, in one transaction or a series of transactions, and whether through any merger, reorganization, consolidation, tender offer, self-tender, exchange offer, stock acquisition, asset acquisition, binding share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture or otherwise, of (A) assets or businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries that generate 20% or more of the net revenues or net income (for the 12‑month period ending on the last day of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter) or that represent 20% or more of the total assets (based on fair market value) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, immediately prior to such transaction, or (B) 20% or more of any class of capital stock, other equity securities or voting power of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any resulting direct or indirect parent company of the Company, in each case other than the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii)“Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that is not solicited after the date of this Agreement in violation of Section 5.2(a) that the

Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor), taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal, including the terms of any financing or financing contingencies and the likely timing of closing, and the Person making the proposal, (A) is more favorable to the stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view than the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any adjustment to the terms and conditions proposed by Parent in response to such proposal) and (B) would reasonably be expected to be completed on the terms proposed; provided, that, for purposes of this definition of “Superior Proposal,” references in the term “Acquisition Proposal” to “20%” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”; and

(iii)“Intervening Event” means a material event or circumstance that was not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Company Board prior to the execution of this Agreement (or if known, the consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable), which event or circumstance, or any material consequence thereof, becomes known to the Company Board prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval that does not relate to (A) an Acquisition Proposal, (B) any actions taken pursuant to this Agreement or (C) any changes in the price of Shares or of the Parent Common Stock (it being understood that the underlying facts giving rise or contributing to such change in price may be taken into account in determining whether there has been an Intervening Event, to the extent otherwise permitted by this definition).

Section 5.3Preparation of Proxy Statement; Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a)As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, (i) Parent and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC a mutually acceptable proxy statement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Proxy Statement”) to be sent to the stockholders of the Company relating to the special meeting of such stockholders (including any postponement or adjournment thereof, the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) to be held to consider the adoption of this Agreement; and (ii) the Company, in consultation with Parent, shall set a preliminary record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting and commence a broker search pursuant to Section 14a‑13 of the Exchange Act in connection therewith. As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, Parent shall prepare (with the Company’s reasonable cooperation) and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S‑4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Form S‑4”), in which the Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Parent Common Stock to be issued in the First Company Merger. The Company and Parent shall each use their respective reasonable best efforts to provide all information related to themselves and their respective Subsidiaries and stockholders as may be required or reasonably requested by the other Party or as requested by the staff of the SEC to be included in the Form S-4 and Proxy Statement, to cause the Form S-4 and Proxy Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff.

(b)Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Form S‑4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Form S‑4 effective as long as is necessary to consummate the First Company Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Form S‑4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. Except in the case of filing, amendment or supplement of the Proxy Statement in connection with an Adverse Recommendation Change or any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby, no filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Form S‑4 or the Proxy Statement, or any response to comments from or other communication to the SEC with respect to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, will be made by Parent or the Company, as applicable, without providing the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and without the others’ prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Parent shall consider in good faith for inclusion in the Form S-4 and in all correspondence to and filings with the SEC relating to the Mergers all comments reasonably proposed by the Company. Each of Parent and the Company will advise the other Party promptly after it receives oral or written notice thereof, of the time when the Form S‑4 has become effective or any amendment or supplement thereto has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the First Company Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or the Form S‑4 or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information, and will promptly provide the others with copies of any written communication from the SEC or any state securities commission and a reasonable opportunity to participate in the responses thereto. If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to the Mergers, the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Form S‑4 or the Proxy Statement, so that any of such documents would not contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall promptly be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required under applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company; provided that the delivery of such notice and the filing of any such amendment or supplement shall not affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by any Party or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to any Party.

(c)As promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall, subject to Section 5.2, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting solely for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and, if applicable, the advisory vote required by Rule 14a 21(c) under the Exchange Act in connection therewith. Such Company Stockholders Meeting shall in any event be no later than 45 calendar days after the date on which the SEC declares the Form S-4 effective. The Company may postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting from time to time solely (i) with the consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (ii) (1) due to the absence of a quorum or (2) if the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Shares for the Company Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, to solicit additional proxies; or (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company Board has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel is

necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting; provided, that the Company may not postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting more than a total of two times pursuant to clause (ii)(1) and/or clause (ii)(2) of this Section 5.3(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall, at the request of Parent, to the extent permitted by Law, adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting to a date specified by Parent for the absence of a quorum or if the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Shares for the Company Stockholder Approval; provided that the Company shall not be required to adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting more than one time pursuant to this sentence, and no such adjournment pursuant to this sentence shall be required to be for a period exceeding 10 Business Days. Except in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change specifically permitted by Section 5.2(b), the Company, through the Company Board, shall (i) recommend to its stockholders that they adopt this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees that (1) except in the event of an Adverse Recommendation Change specifically permitted by Section 5.2(b), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval and (2) its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company or any other Person of any Acquisition Proposal or the occurrence of any Adverse Recommendation Change. Immediately after the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall duly adopt this Agreement in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub Inc. by written consent in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL and deliver to the Company evidence of its action by written consent so adopting this Agreement. If the Company shall have delivered a notice to Parent as contemplated by Section 5.2(b), the Company may adjourn (or postpone) the Company Stockholders Meeting to a date no later than five Business Days after the expiration of such notice period.

Section 5.4Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a)The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, during the period prior to the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, to all their respective properties, assets, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period for the sole purpose of consummation of the Mergers and the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or integration planning related thereto), the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Parent: (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request (including Tax Returns filed and those in preparation and the work papers of its auditors).

(b)Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the Company and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, during the period prior to the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, for purposes of consummation of the Mergers and the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to such information, properties and personnel

regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries as shall be reasonably necessary for the Company to confirm that the representations and warranties of the Parent Parties contained herein are true and correct and that the covenants of the Parent Parties contained herein have been performed in all material respects.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Section 5.4(a) and (b) shall not require the Parties to disclose any information to the extent such disclosure would contravene applicable Law, jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or breach any existing Contract. All such information shall be held confidential in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2021, between Parent and the Company and the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2021, between the Company and Parent (together, the “Confidentiality Agreement”). No investigation pursuant to this Section 5.4 or information provided, made available or delivered to the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the Parties.

Section 5.5Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish the following: (i) obtain all required consents, approvals or waivers from, or participation in other discussions or negotiations with, third parties, including as required under any Material Contract, (ii) obtain all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities, make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings and make all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid any Action by, any Governmental Entity, including filings under the HSR Act with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, and (iii) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and fully to carry out the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall commit to the payment of any fee, penalty or other consideration or make any other concession, waiver or amendment under any Contract in connection with obtaining any consent without the prior written consent of Parent. Each of the Parties shall furnish to each other Party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other Party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, Parent and the Company shall each have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each shall consult with the other in connection with, all of the information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of Parent and the Company shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Subject to applicable Law and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, the Company and Parent shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other

written communications received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, from any Governmental Entity and/or third party with respect to such transactions, and, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, shall provide the other Party and its counsel with the opportunity to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection therewith.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Parent or any of its Affiliates be required to (i) agree or proffer to divest or hold separate (in a trust or otherwise), or take any other action with respect to, any of the assets or businesses of Parent or any of its Affiliates or, assuming the consummation of the Mergers, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) agree or proffer to limit in any manner whatsoever or not to exercise any rights of ownership of any securities (including the Shares) or (iii) enter into any agreement that in any way limits the ownership or operation of any business, properties or assets of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 5.6Takeover Laws. The Company and the Company Board shall (a) take no action to cause any Takeover Law to become applicable to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby and (b) if any Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, take all action necessary to ensure that the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Takeover Law with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.7Notification of Certain Matters. The Company and Parent shall promptly notify each other of (a) any notice or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) any other notice or communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (c) any Action commenced or, to such Party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such Party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to the transactions contemplated hereby or (d) any change, condition or event that results or would reasonably be expected to result in any failure of such Party to satisfy any condition set forth in Article VI; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the Parties.

(a)The Parent Parties agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement and exculpation existing in favor of the current or former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries as provided in the Company Charter or Company Bylaws, or the corresponding governing documents of such Subsidiaries, as in effect on the date of this Agreement for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed and performed by the Surviving Company, with any payments thereof guaranteed by Parent, and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six years after the Effective Time with

respect to any claims against such directors or officers arising out of such acts or omissions, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b)For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering each Person currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (a correct and complete copy of which has been heretofore made available to Parent) for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, that Parent may (i) substitute therefor policies of an insurance company the material terms of which, including coverage and amount, are no less favorable in any material respect to such directors and officers than the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof or (ii) request that the Company obtain such extended reporting period coverage under its existing insurance programs (to be effective as of the Effective Time); and provided further, that in no event shall Parent or the Company be required to pay annual premiums for insurance under this Section 5.8(b) in excess of 300% of the amount of the annual premiums paid by the Company for fiscal year 2020 for such purpose (which fiscal year 2020 premiums are hereby represented and warranted by the Company to be as set forth in Section 5.8(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter), it being understood that Parent shall nevertheless be obligated to provide as much coverage as may be obtained for such 300% amount.

(c)In the event that Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successor and assign of Parent or the Surviving Company (as applicable) assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8.

(d)The provisions of this Section 5.8 shall survive consummation of the Mergers and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each indemnified party, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Company. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Company under this Section 5.8 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnified party unless the affected indemnified party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification.

The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense and settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its officers or directors relating to the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this ‎Section 5.11 shall (i) prevent Parent or the Company from issuing any press release or making any public statement in the ordinary course that does not relate specifically to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) be deemed to restrict the ability of any Party to communicate to its employees or Representatives in a manner that would not be reasonably be expected to require public disclosure by the disclosing Party, (iii) be deemed to require the Company to consult with or obtain any approval from Parent with respect to a public announcement or press release issued in connection with the receipt and existence of a Superior Proposal or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and matters related thereto, or an Adverse Recommendation Change, other than as set forth in Section 5.2 or (iv) prevent Parent or, subject to Section 5.2, the Company from making any public statement in connection with any dispute among the Parties regarding this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(a)At the Second Company Merger Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall assume all obligations of the Company under and in accordance with the Senior Debt Indenture and pay all amounts required to repay in full and retire the Senior Debt thereunder (the “Senior Debt Payoff Amount”).

(b)The Senior Debt shall be repaid by a combination of cash payments and shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Indenture. No later than two Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent the Company’s good faith calculation of the cash of the Company that would be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the date which is four Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Cash Calculation”), the Designated Company Expenses, the Senior Debt Payoff Amount, the ABL Payoff Amount and accrued interest on the Convertible Notes that would be payable upon an Accelerated Mandatory Conversion (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) on the fifth Trading Day following the Closing Date (the “Accrued Interest”). Prior to the Closing, the Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable objections of Parent to such Cash Calculation. The Cash Calculation shall be made in accordance with GAAP consistent with the preparation of the Balance Sheet and the accounting methodologies and practices customarily used by the Company to prepare month-end balance sheet presentations.

(c)The amount of cash to be paid to the Senior Debtholders in such repayment and set forth in the Senior Debt Indenture shall not exceed an amount equal to $30,000,000 plus the cash reflected in the Cash Calculation made in accordance with Section 5.14(b) (“Company Cash”) less the Designated Company Expenses less amounts required to repay in full and retire any indebtedness amounts (other than Letters of Credit which are addressed in Section 5.14(d)) outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility (the “ABL Payoff Amount”) and less the Accrued Interest. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered to the Senior Debtholders (the “Senior Debt Shares”) in such repayment will be determined as follows and set forth in the Senior Debt Indenture:

Senior Debt Shares = (i) the Senior Debt Payoff Amount less $30,000,000 less Company Cash plus the Designated Company Expenses plus the ABL Payoff Amount and plus the Accrued Interest, divided by (ii) the product of (x) the average of the Parent VWAP for the three consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date and (y) 0.8575.

The Senior Debt Shares shall result in a downward adjustment in the Exchange Ratio pursuant to the definition thereof.

(d)At the Closing, the Company shall repay in full all outstanding borrowings and other amounts outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility (other than Letter of Credit). Parent will, at or prior to Closing, make available and put in place substitute letters of credit or other collateral, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the issuer of each applicable letter of credit, to allow the Company’s letters of credit under the ABL Credit Facility to be released and cancelled or to be novated or deemed issued under Parent’s credit facility or otherwise collateralized to the satisfaction of each applicable letter of credit issuer such that the ABL Credit Facility may be terminated on the Closing Date.

(e)Closing Cash shall not include any cash proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate received by the Company after the date hereof from any disposition of the Held for Sale Assets. For the avoidance of doubt and subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the following amounts, without duplication, shall be included in Company Cash to the extent such amounts are included in the Cash Calculation pursuant to Section 5.14(b) above: (i) amounts held in escrow as of the date hereof and set forth in Section 5.14(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter and amounts hereafter placed in escrow in support of offers to prepay the Senior Debt in accordance with the Senior Debt Indenture and (ii) amounts held in escrow as of the date hereof and set forth in Section 5.14(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter in connection with access to secured property in connection with security interests granted under the Senior Debt Indenture.

Section 5.15401(k) Plan Termination. Unless instructed otherwise by Parent at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall (or shall cause the applicable plan sponsor to), at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, (i) cease contributions to, and adopt written resolutions (or take other necessary and appropriate action(s)) to terminate, the Pioneer Energy Services Corp. 401(k) Plan and any other Company Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code with a cash or deferred arrangement described in Section 401(k) of the Code (collectively, the “401(k) Plans”) in compliance with its terms and the requirements of applicable Law, (ii) make all employee and employer contributions to the 401(k) Plans on behalf of Continuing Employees for all periods of service prior to the Closing Date (other than such contributions as are necessary to effectuate the actions set forth on Section 5.15 of the Company Disclosure Letter), including such contributions that would have been made on behalf of the Continuing Employees had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred (regardless of any service or end-of-year employment requirements) but prorated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing Date, (iii) 100% vest all participants under the 401(k) Plans, such termination, contributions and vesting to be effective no later than the Business Day preceding the Closing Date, and (iv) take all actions set forth on Section 5.15 of the Company Disclosure Letter. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, the Continuing Employees (as defined below) will be eligible to participate in Parent’s 401(k) Plans.

Section 5.16Employee Benefits.

(a)For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of vacation accruals under the employee benefit plans of Parent and Parent’s Subsidiaries that provide benefits to any individual employed by the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee” and such plans, the “Parent Benefit Plans”), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time and as set forth on Section 5.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Parent Benefit Plans providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting period, in such Parent Benefit Plans to the extent such restrictions were not applicable under a comparable Company Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Parent Benefit Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent such restrictions were not applicable under a comparable Company Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs to be taken into account under such Parent Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for such plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Parent Benefit Plan.

(b)After the Closing Date, Continuing Employees will either continue under the Surviving Company’s group medical, dental, vision and disability benefit plans (as same may be amended or revised by Parent) or will be allowed to participate in comparable group medical, dental, vision and disability Parent Benefit Plans, as amended from time to time, to the same extent as similarly situated employees of Parent, in either case, as determined by Parent at or prior to the Effective Time.

(c)Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Company shall implement any retention bonus arrangements for employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are specifically directed by Parent, which retention bonuses shall be payable at or following the Effective Time and shall otherwise be on the form, terms and conditions established by Parent (the “Parent Retention Bonuses”). Parent Retention Bonuses shall be for the account of Parent and, to the extent Parent Retention Bonuses are paid by the Company prior to the Effective Time, they will be added back in the determination of Company Cash.

(d)Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to require Parent to provide for the participation of any Continuing Employee in any benefit plan of Parent or its Affiliates. This Section is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns, to create any agreement of employment with any Person or otherwise to create any third-party beneficiary hereunder, or to be interpreted as an amendment to any plan of Parent or any affiliate of Parent. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any Continuing Employee to employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or any other Subsidiary of Parent and, subject to any agreement between a Continuing Employee and Parent,

the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of Parent, the employment of each Continuing Employee shall be “at will” employment.

Section 5.17Intended Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, the Parties each agree:

(a)that the Mergers, taken together, are intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code;

(b)that this Agreement is intended to constitute, and the Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.3683(a) of the Treasury Regulations; and

(c)to (i) treat the Mergers, taken together, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal, state and other relevant income Tax purposes, (ii) not take any action that could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers, taken together, from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (iii) file their respective Tax Returns consistent with such tax treatment and (iv) except to the extent otherwise required by a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, take no Tax position inconsistent with such Tax treatment.

Section 5.18Subsidiary Stock Ledger. Within 15 Business Days following the date hereof, the Company shall direct the legal representative of the Company’s Subsidiary Proveedora Internacional de Taladros S.A.S. to file a report with the National Police of Colombia indicating the loss of the stock ledger with respect to such Subsidiary and promptly thereafter file a request for registration of a new stock ledger with the Chamber of Commerce of Bogotá. Promptly following the registration of the new stock ledger and in any event prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cause the reconstruction of the entries according to the issuance of shares in order to reflect that Pioneer Global Holdings Inc. is the sole shareholder of such Subsidiary.

Section 5.19Third Supplemental Indenture. The Company shall cause the Third Supplemental Indenture to be executed and delivered as promptly as practicable after the date hereof.

Section 7.4Amendment or Supplement. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented by the Parties by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained; provided, however, that after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, no amendment shall be made that pursuant to applicable Law requires further approval or adoption by the stockholders of the Company without such further approval or adoption. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed on behalf of each of the Parties in interest at the time of the amendment.

No failure or delay of any Party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of

2.2Amendment. A new “Section 3.11” is hereby added to the Indenture, which Section 3.11 reads in its entirety as follows:

“3.11Redemption Upon Closing of the Designated Merger.

(a)Designated Merger. The Holders acknowledge that the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Xxxxxxxxx-UTI Energy, Inc. (“Acquiror Parent”) and certain of its affiliate companies which provides for (i) the Company to merge with certain of the affiliate companies and to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror Parent, (ii) merger consideration in the form of up to 26,275,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Acquiror Parent (“Acquiror Parent Common Stock” and such consideration, “Merger Consideration”), (iii) the Notes to be repaid in a combination of cash and shares of Acquiror Parent Common Stock out of, and reducing, the Merger Consideration, and (iv) the Company’s convertible noteholders and common shareholders to receive the remaining Merger Consideration (after payment of the Notes) upon closing of the merger transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Merger”).

(b)Redemption Upon Closing of the Merger. Notwithstanding that the consummation of the Merger constitutes a “Change of Control” under this Indenture and notwithstanding any other conflicting provision herein (including Sections 3.07 and 3.10 of this Indenture), immediately following the effective time of the Merger on the Merger Closing Date (as defined below), the Company shall redeem the Notes at a redemption price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the Merger Closing Date. The redemption price shall be paid in a combination of cash and shares of Acquiror Parent Common Stock as reflected in and pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 5.14 of the Merger Agreement and this Section 3.11. For purposes of such payment, the U.S. dollar value of each share of Acquiror Parent Common Stock shall equal the product of (i) the average of the Parent VWAP (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for the three consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the Merger Closing Date (as calculated pursuant to and in accordance with the Merger Agreement) and (ii) 0.8575.

(c)Notice to Trustee and Holders. (i) At least one Business Day prior to the closing date of the Merger (the “Merger Closing Date”), the Company will furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate (the “Officers’ Merger Certificate”) setting forth:

(A)

the Merger Closing Date;

(B)

the redemption price; and

(C)

a calculation reflecting the cash amount and the number of shares of Acquiror Parent Common Stock to be paid or delivered to each Holder pursuant to Section 3.11(d) hereof.

(ii) At least one Business Day prior to the Merger Closing Date, the Company will give or cause to be given a notice of redemption (“Notice of Redemption”) to the Depositary as the Holder of the Notes and to the exchange agent under the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Agent”) setting forth:

(A)

the Merger Closing Date;

(B)

the redemption price;

(C)

the name and address of the Exchange Agent;

(D)

that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Trustee, in its capacity as Paying Agent, to collect the redemption price;

(E)

that unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on the Notes ceases to accrue on and after the Merger Closing Date;

(F)

any conditions to redemption, which may include the consummation of the Merger;

(G)

that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and

(H)

the cash amount and the number of shares of Acquiror Parent Common Stock to be paid to the Depositary as the Holder of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.11(d).

(d)Deposit and Payment of Redemption Price; Delivery of Shares.

(i) On the Merger Closing Date, the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee an amount of cash sufficient to pay the cash portion of the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest (to, but excluding, the Merger Closing Date) on, all Notes. The Trustee, within three Business Days following the Merger Closing Date, will distribute such cash portion of the redemption price to the Holders.

(ii) The Company, on the Merger Closing Date, will direct the Exchange Agent to issue and deposit or cause to be deposited with the Depositary as the Holder of the Notes uncertificated shares of Acquiror Parent Common Stock represented by book entry in the amounts reflected in the Notice of Redemption within three Business Days following the Merger Closing Date.

(e)Interest. If the Company complies with the provisions of Section 3.11(d), on and after the Merger Closing Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes. If the Notes are redeemed on or after a record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the Merger Closing Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date.

(f)Absolute Redemption. Redemption of the Notes under this Section 3.11 shall be independent of the other provisions of Article III of this Indenture (other than this Section 3.11). Notwithstanding that the Merger would constitute a Change of Control

under this Indenture, Article III of this Indenture (other than this Section 3.11) and particularly Section 3.10 shall not be applicable to the Merger or the redemption pursuant to this Section 3.11.
