(a)(i) Each In-the-Money Stock Option outstanding as of the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be automatically canceled in exchange for a cash payment from the Company to the holder thereof, subject to the adjustment provisions of Section ‎3.2, equal to the Net Exercise Value in respect of such In-the-Money Stock Option (such payment to be net of applicable withholding Tax), in each case as set forth on the Merger Payout Schedule;

provided that, no amounts shall be payable to the holders of such In-the-Money Stock Options hereunder following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date to the extent that payment of such amounts will be subject to adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code, and (ii) each Stock Option that is not an In-the-Money Stock Option shall be automatically canceled and extinguished without payment of any consideration therefor and without any further action on the part of the Company; and

(b)Each RSU outstanding as of the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be automatically canceled in exchange for a cash payment from the Company to the holder thereof, subject to the adjustment provisions of Section ‎3.2, equal to the Closing Per Share Consideration (such payment to be net of applicable withholding Tax), in each case as set forth on the Merger Payout Schedule.

(c) Each PSU outstanding as of the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be automatically canceled in exchange for a cash payment from the Company to the holder thereof, subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 3.2, equal to the product of (x) such holder’s outstanding PSUs multiplied by (y) the Closing Per Share Consideration (such payment to be net of applicable withholding Tax), in each case as set forth on the Merger Payout Schedule; provided that, no amounts shall be payable to the holders of such PSUs hereunder following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date to the extent that payment of such amounts will be subject to adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code.

2.11Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Common Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by Stockholders who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly demanded and are entitled to appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Closing Per Share Consideration. Such Stockholders instead shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Common Shares held by them, together with interest, if any, in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL. From and after the Effective Time, no Stockholder who has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall be entitled to vote his or her or its Common Shares for any purpose or receive payment of dividends or other distributions with respect to his or her or its Common Shares (except for any dividends or distributions payable to Stockholders of record at a date prior to the Effective Time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Stockholder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Stockholder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, (a) the right of such Stockholder to be paid the fair value of such Stockholder’s Dissenting Shares, together with interest, if any, under Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease and (b) as of the occurrence of such event, such Stockholder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted, as of the Effective Time, into and represent the right to receive the Closing Per Share Consideration (subject to adjustment as provided in Section ‎3.2 hereof), without any interest thereon, in accordance with Section ‎2.9.

2.12No Further Rights of Transfers. At the Effective Time the stock ledger of the Company with respect to Common Shares shall be closed, no transfer of Common Shares shall

thereafter be made, and no transfer of Common Shares shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. At and after the Effective Time, each Equityholder shall cease to have any rights as a Stockholder, option holder of the Company or holder of an RSU or PSU of the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law and except for, (a) in the case of a holder of a Book-Entry Share representing Common Shares (other than Common Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section ‎2.9(b) or converted into common stock of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section ‎‎2.9(c)), the right to receive the Closing Per Share Consideration in accordance with ‎Article II and ‎III and (b) in the case of a holder of Stock Options, RSUs or PSUs the right to receive the cash payment, if any, to be made pursuant to Section ‎2.10 (subject to adjustment in accordance with ‎‎Article III) in respect of the In-the-Money Stock Options, RSUs or PSUs held by such holder, as applicable.

(f)Payment in respect of Adjustment Escrow Amount. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount for deposit in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(g)Payments in respect of Expense Reserve Holdback Amount. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Expense Reserve Holdback Account an amount equal to the Expense Reserve Holdback Amount.

3.2Determination of/Adjustment to Closing Per Share Consideration.

(a)Not later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Buyer with (i) a written statement (the “Estimated Statement”) reflecting the Company’s good faith estimate of (A) Closing Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), (B) Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”), (C) Debt (the “Estimated Debt”), and (D) Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”), together, in each case, with all underlying documentation supporting each such calculation and based upon the accounting books and records of the Acquired Companies and (ii) a schedule (the “Merger Payout Schedule”) setting forth (A) with respect to each Stockholder, (1) the name of such Stockholder and the number of Common Shares held by such Stockholder, (2) the Pro Rata Share of such Stockholder, and (3) the cash consideration that such Stockholder is entitled to receive at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.9; (B) with respect to each holder of In-the-Money Stock Options, (1) the name of the holder of each such In-the-Money Stock Option, (2) the per share exercise price of each such In-the-Money Stock Option held by such holder and the number of Common Shares underlying each such In-the-Money Stock Option, (3) the Pro Rata Share of such holder with respect to such holder’s In-the-Money Stock Options, and (4) the cash consideration that such holder is entitled to receive at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.10(a), less any applicable Taxes withheld in accordance with Section 3.3, (C) with respect to each holder of RSUs, (1) the name of the holder of each such RSU, (2) the number of Common Shares subject to each such holder’s RSUs, (3) the Pro Rata Share of such holder with respect to such holder’s RSUs, and (4) the cash consideration that such holder is entitled to receive at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.10(b), less any applicable Taxes withheld in accordance with Section 3.3 and (D) with respect to each holder of PSUs, (1) the name of the holder of each such PSU, (2) the number of PSUs held by such holder, (3) the cash consideration that such holder is

entitled to receive at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.10(c), less any applicable Taxes withheld in accordance with Section 3.3. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall be entitled to rely on the Merger Payout Schedule without any obligation or liability to the Company or the Equityholders with respect to actions taken in accordance with the Merger Payout Schedule. The Estimated Statement shall be used to determine the Closing Per Share Consideration. Not later than one Business Day after receipt of the Estimated Statement, Buyer shall provide to the Company a detailed funds flow memorandum in Excel format (including all underlying calculations, formulas and amounts therein) setting forth all payments to be made by or on behalf of the parties hereto at Closing in accordance with this Agreement. The Company shall provide Buyer the opportunity to review and provide comments on each of the foregoing calculations, and the Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments of Buyer. Following delivery of the Estimated Statement, the Company shall permit Buyer and its Representatives to have reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records and other documents of the Acquired Companies (including work papers, schedules, financial statements, memoranda and similar documentation and other information) pertaining to or used in connection with the preparation of the Estimated Statement and provide Buyer and its Representatives with copies thereof (as reasonably requested) for the purpose of the review and consent right contemplated by this Section 3.2.

(b)As promptly as practicable, but no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Stockholder Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth: (i) Closing Cash; (ii) Closing Working Capital (iii) Closing Debt, and (iv) Closing Transaction Expenses, together, in each case, with all underlying documentation supporting each such calculation. The Closing Statement, and the components thereof, shall be prepared based upon the books and records of the Acquired Companies and in accordance with the definitions of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt and Closing Transaction Expenses. The determination of Cash and Net Working Capital reflected in the Closing Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Agreed Principles.

(c)Until the Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section ‎3.2, the Stockholder Representative and its advisors shall have the right, upon reasonable notice to the Company, to reasonable access to the Company’s books and records, appropriate staff members and such other information as the Stockholder Representative shall reasonably request in order to review the Closing Statement, in each case, as contemplated by this Section 3.2(c); provided, that the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives shall conduct any such review in a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of Buyer and the Acquired Companies and shall comply with all safety rules and reasonable controls during such access. The Closing Statement (and the computation of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt and Closing Transaction Expenses) delivered by Buyer to the Stockholder Representative shall be conclusive and binding on all parties unless the Stockholder Representative, prior to the 30th day following receipt of the Closing Statement, delivers a notice to Buyer stating that the Stockholder Representative disagrees with such calculation and specifying in reasonable detail those items as to which the Stockholder Representative disagrees, the dollar amount of such disagreement and the basis therefor (any such notice, a “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice may reference only disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on amounts of the applicable Closing Cash, Closing Working

Capital, Closing Debt and Closing Transaction Expenses, as reflected on the Closing Statement not being calculated in accordance with this Section 3.2. The Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items contained in the Closing Statement, and the calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt or Closing Transaction Expenses, as applicable, delivered pursuant to Section ‎3.2(b) that are not the express subject of a Dispute Notice.

(d)If a Dispute Notice is duly delivered pursuant to Section ‎3.2(c), the Stockholder Representative and Buyer shall, during the 30 days following such delivery, consult in good faith on the disputed items in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt and Closing Transaction Expenses, as applicable. If during such period, the Stockholder Representative and Buyer are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause Grant Thornton LLP or, if such accounting firm is unwilling or unable to serve, such other independent accounting firm on which the Stockholder Representative and Buyer mutually agree, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, as the case may be (the “Neutral Accountant”), to review this Agreement and the disputed items for the purpose of calculating Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt and Closing Transaction Expenses, as applicable (it being understood that in making such calculation, the Neutral Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall not have any authority to interpret any provision of this Section ‎3.2 or any other provision of this Agreement). Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the Neutral Accountant, a reasonable engagement letter with the Neutral Accountant. All communications with the Neutral Accountant must include a representative from each of Buyer and the Stockholder Representative. Buyer and the Stockholder Representative shall cooperate with the Neutral Accountant and promptly provide, and Buyer shall cause the Company to provide, all documents and information reasonably requested by the Neutral Accountant; provided that copies of all such documents and information are concurrently furnished to the other party. In making such calculation, the Neutral Accountant shall consider only those items in the Closing Statement, and the Stockholder Representative’s calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt or Closing Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, as to which the Stockholder Representative has disagreed in its Dispute Notice duly delivered pursuant to Section ‎3.2(c) and in accordance with the definitions provided in this Agreement, including the Agreed Principles. The Neutral Accountant shall resolve each item of disagreement based solely on the supporting materials provided by each party and not by independent review. The Neutral Accountant’s determination on each item in dispute shall not be greater than the greater value for such item claimed by either the Stockholder Representative or Buyer or less than the lower value for such item claimed by either the Stockholder Representative or Buyer. The Stockholder Representative and Buyer shall direct the Neutral Accountant to deliver to the Stockholder Representative and Buyer, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than 30 days from the date of its engagement), a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon the Stockholder Representative and Buyer. The Neutral Accountant will determine the allocation of the cost of its review and report based on the inverse of the percentage its determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to Neutral Accountant. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Neutral Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Stockholder Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne collectively by the Equityholders out of the

Expense Reserve Holdback Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Neutral Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by Buyer (if any), shall be paid to the Neutral Accountant directly by Buyer, and the Neutral Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by the Stockholder Representative (if any), shall be paid to the Neutral Accountant directly from the Expense Reserve Holdback Amount.

(e)The Closing Cash, Closing Debt, Closing Transaction Expenses, and Closing Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with Sections ‎3.2(b)-‎(d) shall be the “Final Cash”, “Final Debt”, “Final Transaction Expenses” and “Final Working Capital”, respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall (i) the Final Cash or the Final Working Capital, as applicable, be more than the Stockholder Representative’s calculation of Closing Cash or Closing Working Capital, as applicable, delivered pursuant to Section ‎3.2(c) or less than Buyer’s calculation of Closing Cash or Closing Working Capital, as applicable, delivered pursuant to Section ‎3.2(b) and (ii) the Final Debt or Final Transaction Expenses be more than Buyer’s calculation of Closing Debt or Closing Transaction Expenses, as applicable, delivered pursuant to Section ‎3.2(b) or less than Stockholder Representative’s calculation of Closing Debt or Closing Transaction Expenses, as applicable, delivered pursuant to Section ‎3.2(c).

(f)The “Purchase Price Adjustment” will be an amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to (1) the Final Cash Adjustment, plus (2) the Final Working Capital Adjustment, minus (3) the Final Debt Adjustment, minus (4) the Final Transaction Expenses Adjustment. If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a positive number (the “Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount”), Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, the lesser of (i) an amount equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount and (ii) the Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, in each case as an adjustment to the dollar amount of the aggregate Closing Per Share Consideration in cash to the Paying Agent for the benefit of, and for distribution in accordance with Section ‎3.2(h) to, the Equityholders. Neither Buyer, the Company nor Merger Sub shall have any obligation or liability to the Equityholders for any Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount that is in excess of the Adjustment Escrow Amount. If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a negative number (the absolute value of such number, the “Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount”), Buyer shall be entitled to receive a payment in cash out of the Adjustment Escrow Amount in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Adjustment Escrow Amount and (ii) the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, and Buyer and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly in writing instruct the Escrow Agent to make a payment to Buyer out of the Adjustment Escrow Account in an amount equal to the lesser of clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence. Buyer, Merger Sub, and the Company acknowledge and agree that any Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount shall be satisfied solely and exclusively out of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, and none of the Company or the Equityholders shall have any obligation or liability to Buyer for any Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount that is in excess of the Adjustment Escrow Amount. If (A) there is a Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, or (B) the Adjustment Escrow Amount is greater than the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, then Buyer and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct in writing the Escrow Agent to make a payment out of the Adjustment Escrow Account in an amount equal to (x) in the event of a Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, all amounts in the Adjustment Escrow Account, or (y) in the event the Adjustment Escrow Amount is greater than the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, the difference between all

amounts in the Adjustment Escrow Account and the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, in each case, to the Paying Agent, for the benefit of, and for distribution in accordance with Section ‎3.2(h) to, the Equityholders in accordance with the Merger Payout Schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Purchase Price Adjustment equals zero, then Buyer and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly in writing instruct the Escrow Agent to make a payment equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount to the Paying Agent, for the benefit of, and for distribution in accordance with Section ‎3.2(h) to, the Equityholders in accordance with the Merger Payout Schedule.

(g)Any payment pursuant to Section ‎3.2(f) shall be made by Buyer or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, at a mutually convenient time and place within five Business Days after the Purchase Price Adjustment (and the components thereof) has been finally determined, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Buyer, in the event such payment is to be made by the Escrow Agent, or to the account of the Paying Agent, in the event such payment is to be made by Buyer and/or to the extent that there is any amount remaining in the Adjustment Escrow Account following payment to Buyer of the amounts to be paid pursuant to Section ‎3.2(f). All payments under this Section ‎3.2 shall be without interest, except that any amounts not paid when required by this Section ‎3.2 shall bear interest from the date due pursuant to this Section 3.2(g) to, and including, the date of payment at a rate equal to the rate of interest from time to time announced publicly by The Wall Street Journal as its prime rate, calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the number of days elapsed.

(h)Promptly following receipt by the Paying Agent of payment of the Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, if any, and/or any amount paid from the Adjustment Escrow Amount pursuant to Section ‎3.2, the Paying Agent shall pay:

(i)to each Stockholder, with respect to each Common Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by such Stockholder upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of surrender as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount Per Share, if any, and (B) the Adjustment Escrow Release Amount Per Share, if any, in each case in accordance with the Merger Payout Schedule; and

(ii)to the Surviving Corporation for payment to each holder of any In-the-Money Stock Options, RSUs or PSUs, with respect to each Common Share underlying each of such In-the-Money Stock Option, RSU or PSU, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount Per Share, if any, and (B) the Adjustment Escrow Release Amount Per Share (if any), in each case in accordance with the Merger Payout Schedule.

(i)The provisions of this Section ‎3.2 and of any other Transaction Document shall apply in such a manner so as not to give the components and calculations duplicative effect to any item of adjustment and, the parties hereto covenant and agree that no amount shall be (or is intended to be) included, in whole or in part (either as an increase or reduction) more than once in the calculation of (including any component of) Net Working Capital or any other calculated amount pursuant to this Agreement if the effect of such additional inclusion (either as

an increase or reduction) would be to cause such amount to be overstated or understated for purposes of such calculation.

3.3Withholding. Each of Buyer, each Acquired Company, the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent, and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (without duplication) from any and all payments made under this Agreement such amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payments under the Code or under any applicable Law; provided, however, that, except in connection with payments in respect of In-the-Money Stock Options, RSUs and PSUs or any other compensatory amounts, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Stockholder Representative with a written notice of Buyer’s intention to withhold from any amount payable by Buyer under this Agreement at least five (5) Business Days prior to any such withholding, and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with the Stockholder Representative to minimize any such withholding. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the proper Governmental Body, such withheld and deducted amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipient in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

The Commitment Letter contains all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties thereunder to make the full amount of the Financing available to Buyer on the terms set forth therein. As of the date hereof, the Financing Commitment has not been terminated or withdrawn, and no lender has notified Buyer or Merger Sub of its intention to terminate or withdraw the Financing Commitment and no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, constitutes or would constitute a breach, default or event of default on the part of Buyer or, to the knowledge of Buyer, any other party under, a basis for termination by any party thereto, of the Commitment Letter.

(a)Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including preparing and filing all documentation to effect all necessary filings, consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations, Permits or Orders from all Governmental Bodies. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Buyer and the Company undertakes and agrees to make, or cause to be made, with respect to the Transactions no later than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof, an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act. Each of Buyer and the Company shall (A) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries or requests received from any Governmental Body pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws and supply any additional information or documentation that may be reasonably requested and (B) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the waiting periods or other requirements under the HSR Act and all other applicable Antitrust Laws to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date (including with respect to filings under the HSR Act, seeking early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act).

(b)Further, and without limiting the generality of the rest of this Section ‎6.3, each of the parties hereto shall cooperate in all respects with each other to prepare any filing or submission made with any Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions and

regarding any investigation or other inquiry by any Governmental Body in connection with the Transaction, which shall include (i) furnishing to the other parties such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other parties may request in connection with the foregoing, (ii) informing the other parties of any communication with any Governmental Body regarding any of the Transactions, and (iii) providing counsel for the other parties with copies of all filings made by such party, all written correspondence between such party (and its Affiliates or advisors) with any Governmental Body and any other written information supplied by such party and such party’s Affiliates or advisors to a Governmental Body or received from such a Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions; provided, however, that materials may be redacted as necessary to comply with any Contracts and applicable Law. Each party hereto shall, subject to applicable Law, permit counsel for the other parties to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions. The parties agree not to participate, or to permit their Affiliates or advisors to participate, in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Body, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate. Buyer shall not (i) withdraw any notification under the HSR Act or (ii) enter into any agreements with any Governmental Body to delay consummation of the Transactions, including any timing agreements, without the prior written consent of the Company.

(c)Further, and without limiting the generality of the rest of this Section ‎6.3, Buyer and Merger Sub shall take any and all steps reasonably necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law or other Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Body or private party with respect to this Agreement so as to make effective as promptly as practicable the Transactions and to avoid any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the Closing beyond the Termination Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, so as to avoid an in-depth or second phase review by the relevant Governmental Body). The steps involved in the preceding sentence shall include (i) contesting, defending and appealing any threatened or pending litigation or preliminary or permanent injunction or other Order that would adversely affect the ability of any party hereto to consummate, or otherwise delay the consummation of, the Transactions; or (ii) agreeing to take any other action as may be required by a Governmental Body in order to (A) obtain all necessary consents, approvals and authorizations as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event before the Termination Date, (B) avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, dissolved, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect in any Legal Proceeding and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions, or (C) effect the expiration or termination of any waiting period, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the Closing beyond the Termination Date. At the request of Buyer, the Company shall agree to take any action with respect to any Acquired Company in the two preceding sentences; provided that any such action is conditioned upon (and shall not be completed prior to) the consummation of the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Buyer, Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to, and the Company may not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement, or order to (i) propose, negotiate, offer to commit to and effect (and if such offer is accepted, committing

to and effecting), by order, consent decree, hold separate orders or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, hold and separate, cause a third party to acquire or otherwise dispose of any assets, properties, products, product lines, services, businesses or rights of Buyer or its Affiliates or, effective as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or the Company Subsidiaries or any interest or interests therein, (ii) terminate, amend or modify any Contract or other business relationship of Buyer or its Affiliates or, effective as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or the Company Subsidiaries and (iii) take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the assets, properties, products, product lines, services or businesses of Buyer or its Affiliates, or effective as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or the Company Subsidiaries or any interest or interests therein, except, in each case, for such actions that would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impair the benefits of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby to Buyer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(d)Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, acquire or enter into any agreement to acquire (by merger, consolidation, acquisition of equity interests or assets, joint venture or otherwise) any Person or a portion thereof or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if such acquisition or the entering into such agreement could reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any Governmental Body, permit or Order necessary to consummate the Transactions or the expiration or termination of any waiting period under applicable Law; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Body entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions or increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Order on appeal or otherwise; or (iii) otherwise materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transactions.

6.4Further Assurances. Subject to, and not in limitation of, Section ‎6.3, until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall (i) execute such documents and perform such further acts as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and the actions contemplated hereby and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to effectuate, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, the Merger.

6.5Confidentiality. Each of Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledges that all access and information provided to them in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions is subject to the terms of (i) the confidentiality agreement by and between Buyer and Stifel dated March 11, 2022 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and (ii) the clean team agreement by and between Buyer and the Company dated May 16, 2022 (the “Clean Team Agreement”), in each case the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Each of Buyer and Merger Sub shall comply with, and shall cause their respective Representatives to comply with, all of their respective obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement and the Clean Team Agreement, as applicable, in each case which shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.

6.6Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a)From and after the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause each Acquired Company (each a “Primary Indemnitor”) to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the Persons who at or prior to the Effective Time

were directors or officers of any Acquired Company (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such or taken by them at the request of any Acquired Company, in each case, at or prior to the Effective Time. Buyer agrees that all rights of the Indemnitees to indemnification, advancement and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or any comparable Organizational Document of any Company Subsidiary as now in effect, and any indemnification agreements or arrangements of any Acquired Company, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Such rights shall not be amended or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitees, unless such modification is required by Law. In addition, from and after the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to, advance any expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) of any Indemnitee under this Section ‎6.6 (including in connection with enforcing the indemnity and other obligations referred to in this Section ‎6.6), as incurred, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances to the extent required by applicable Law.

(b)From and after the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or comparable Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation and each Acquired Company to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement and exculpation from liability that are at least as favorable to the beneficiaries of such provisions as those provisions set forth as of the date hereof in the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or comparable Organizational Documents of each Acquired Company which provisions, in each case, shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees.

(c)Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall, or, immediately upon the Closing, shall cause the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries to, purchase (at Buyer’s expense) the directors’ and officers’ “tail” or “runoff” insurance program currently available to be purchased under the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance plan covering the Acquired Companies’ directors and officers, to the extent such plan remains available as of the Effective Time on materially the same terms and conditions. To the extent that such plan is no longer available on materially the same terms and conditions at the Effective Time, prior to the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to purchase (at Buyer’s expense) a directors’ and officers’ liability “tail” or “run-off” insurance program, selected by the Company, for a period of six years after the Effective Time (such coverage shall have an aggregate coverage limit over the term of such policy in an amount no less than the aggregate coverage limit under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability policy, and in all other respects comparable to such existing coverage). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such directors’ and officers’ insurance to the extent such premiums exceed 300% of the annual premium paid for the Acquired Companies’ existing directors’ and officers’ insurance as of the date hereof.

(d)The provisions of this Section ‎6.6 are: (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, each Indemnitee’s heirs and each Indemnitee’s representatives; and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to

indemnification, advancement or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise.

(e)In the event that Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer and of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section ‎6.6.

6.7Publicity. Except as otherwise agreed by Buyer and the Company, no party hereto shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement or otherwise communicate with any news media concerning this Agreement or the Transactions without obtaining the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, other public announcement or other communication with news media; provided, that nothing herein will prohibit any party from issuing or causing publication of any such press release or other public announcement to the extent that such disclosure is required by Law or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange.

6.8Conduct of Buyer Prior to the Closing. During the period commencing on the date hereof and terminating on the earlier to occur of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Article VIII, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of the Company, take or agree to take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay the consummation of the Transactions or interfere with (a) the consummation of the Transactions or (b) Buyer’s or Merger Sub’s ability to satisfy any of its obligations under this Agreement.

6.9Employee Matters.

(a)For a period of at least 12 months following the Effective Time, Buyer shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each employee of any of the Acquired Companies who remains employed immediately after the Closing Date (each a “Continuing Employee”), (i) annual base salary or base wages, and short-term incentive compensation opportunities, in each case, that are no less favorable than the lesser of (A) such annual base salary or base wages and short-term incentive compensation opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time or (B) the annual base salary or base wages and short-term incentive compensation opportunities provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Subsidiaries other than the Acquired Companies, and (ii) employee benefits, including, without limitation, welfare benefits, retirement benefits, vacation and severance benefits (but excluding any equity compensation or long-term incentive compensation), that, in each case, are no less favorable than the lesser of (A) the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time or (B) the employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Subsidiaries other than the Acquired Companies. For purposes of eligibility, vesting, vacation entitlement, and severance benefits (but not benefit accrual under defined benefit plans or for purposes of incentive compensation) under the

employee benefit plans of Buyer providing benefits to Continuing Employees (the “Buyer Plans”), Buyer shall credit each Continuing Employee with the Continuing Employee’s years of service with any Acquired Company and any predecessor entities, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan. The Company shall cause the 2022 PLH Management Incentive Plan to be terminated prior to Closing and to pay out on or before the Closing Date any accrued bonuses thereunder (as determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of such 2022 PLH Management Incentive Plan) with respect to the period prior to the Closing(the “2022 MIP Payments”). The Company shall provide Buyer a copy of any employee communications in connection with such 2022 MIP Payments at least five Business Days prior to distribution thereof for its review and reasonable comment and the Company shall consider in good faith all comments received from Buyer on such employee communications.

(b)Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived under any applicable Buyer Plan any pre-existing condition limitations, actively-at-work requirements, exclusions and waiting periods to the extent waived or not applicable under, or previously satisfied by such Continuing Employee under, the relevant Company Benefit Plan, and (ii) cause the Continuing Employees to be given credit under the applicable Buyer Plan for amounts paid prior to the date on which such Continuing Employees commence participation in such Buyer Plan for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums.

(c)Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay or provide the Severance Obligations to any Director, Officer, Manager, employee, or any other consultant, independent contractor or other service provider employed or engaged by any Acquired Company in accordance with the terms of the Severance Obligations, subject to any amendments to the Severance Obligations permitted in accordance with the terms of the Severance Obligations.

(d)The provisions contained in this Section ‎6.9 shall not (i) be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement, (ii) limit the right of Buyer to terminate any employee at any time and for any reason or (iii) create any third-party rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever in any employee of any Acquired Company (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof) or any other Person that is not a party to this Agreement

6.10Buyer’s Obligations in Respect of Financing.

(a)Each of Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that, except with respect to their cooperation obligations expressly set forth herein, the Stockholder Representative, the Company and their respective Affiliates have no responsibility for any financing that Buyer or Merger Sub may raise in connection with the Transactions.

(b)Each of Buyer and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate and to obtain the Financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments on or prior to the Closing Date, including to (i) maintain in effect the Financing and the Commitment Letter, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive financing agreements (the “Definitive Debt Documents”) with respect to the Financing that are on terms and conditions no less favorable to

Buyer and Merger Sub than those contained in the Financing Commitments (giving effect to any “market flex” provisions in the Fee Letter), so that such agreements are in effect no later than the Closing Date, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Buyer and Merger Sub contained in the Financing Commitments within their control, including the payment of any commitment, engagement, or placement fees required as a condition to the Financing, (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to the date that the Closing is required to be effected in accordance with Section ‎2.2 (Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that it is not a condition to Closing under this Agreement, nor to the consummation of the Merger, for Buyer and Merger Sub to obtain the Financing or any Replacement Financing), (v) enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter, and (vi) comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letter. Subject to the terms and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, Buyer and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders and the other Persons providing such Financing to provide the Financing on the Closing Date.

(c)Buyer shall provide to the Company copies of the Definitive Debt Documents (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be redacted to the extent provided in Section 5.7) and shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of status of its efforts to obtain the Financing and material developments in respect of the financing process relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Merger Sub shall provide the Company prompt written notice (i) of any expiration or termination of, or any breach, default or violation by any party to the Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing of which Buyer and Merger Sub become aware, (ii) of the receipt of (A) any written notice or (B) other communication, in each case from any Financing source with respect to any (x) actual or potential breach, default, violation, termination or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provision of the Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing or (y) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing with respect to the obligation to fund the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at the Closing, and (iii) if at any time for any reason Buyer or Merger Sub believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Financing Commitments or definitive agreements related to the Financing. As soon as reasonably practicable, Buyer and Merger Sub shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(d)Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, agree to, or permit, any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, replacement, supplement, or other modification of, or waiver or consent under, the Commitment Letter or other documentation relating to the Financing which would (i) reasonably be expected to adversely affect Buyer’s or Merger Sub’s ability to timely consummate the Transactions, (ii) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing, (iii) impose new or additional conditions or expand upon (or amend or modify in any manner adverse to the interests of the Company or that could reasonably be expected to make the funding of any portion of the Financing (or satisfaction of any condition to obtaining any portion of the Financing) less likely to occur in any material respect on the Closing Date) the conditions precedent to the Financing as set forth in the Commitment Letter, (iv) adversely affect the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the

other parties to the Financing Commitments, the Fee Letter or any Definitive Debt Document or (v) reasonably be expected to prevent, delay, impeded or impair the Closing. For purposes of this Section ‎6.10 and Section ‎6.11, the definitions of “Commitment Letter,” “Financing Commitments” and “Financing” shall include the Financing Commitments or documents related thereto as permitted to be amended, amended and restated, replaced, supplemented, modified, waived or consented to by this Section 6.10(d). Buyer shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, replacement, supplement, modification, waiver or consent. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) amendments, restatements, amendment and restatements, replacements, supplements or other modifications of the Commitment Letter to include additional Financing Sources are not prohibited hereby and (y) if the Financing (or any Replacement Financing) has not been obtained, Buyer and Merger Sub shall continue to be obligated to consummate the Transactions subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section ‎7.1 and Section ‎7.2.

(e)If, notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts by Buyer and Merger Sub to satisfy its obligations under Sections 6.10(b)-(d), any of the Financing or the Financing Commitments (or any definitive financing agreement relating thereto) expire or are terminated or become unavailable prior to the Closing, in whole or in part, for any reason, Buyer shall (i) promptly notify the Company of such expiration, termination, or unavailability and the reasons therefor and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts promptly to arrange for alternative committed financing (“Replacement Financing”) (which shall be sufficient to pay the Required Amount from other sources and shall not, without the prior consent of the Company, (A) include any conditions to such Replacement Financing that are more onerous than or in addition to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter in effect on the date hereof or would reasonably be expected to delay the Closing or (B) otherwise be on terms and conditions that are materially less favorable than the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter in effect on the date hereof) to replace the financing contemplated by such expired, terminated, or unavailable commitments or arrangements. Buyer and Merger Sub shall deliver to the Company true, correct and complete copies of all Contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which any alternative source shall have committed to provide any portion of the Replacement Financing (provided that any fee letters in connection therewith may be redacted in a manner consistent with the Fee Letter provided as of the date hereof). In the event that Replacement Financing is obtained in accordance with this Section 6.10(e), the definitions of “Commitment Letter,” “Financing Commitments” and “Financing” shall include the commitments in respect of the Replacement Financing or the documents related thereto, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, compliance by Buyer and Merger Sub with the provisions of this Section 6.10(e) shall not relieve Buyer or Merger Sub of their obligation to consummate the Transactions whether or not the Financing is available.

(f)Buyer and Merger Sub shall replace, cash collateralize and/or otherwise “backstop” each letter of credit listed on Schedule 6.10(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedules (including, if applicable, by providing for the “deemed issuance” of the relevant letters of credit under the Financing) at or prior to the Closing to the extent required to release the liens securing the obligations of the Company and/or its applicable subsidiaries under the Existing Credit Agreement.

(vii)requesting that the administrative agent and/or collateral agent under each Specified Debt Agreement provide a Debt Payoff Letter in respect thereof; and

(viii)providing prompt written notice (in reasonable detail) upon knowledge of any facts that would or would likely require the restatement of any financial information or financial statements provided by or on behalf of the Acquired Companies for such financial statements to comply with GAAP.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in Section ‎6.11(a) or this Agreement to the contrary, until the Effective Time occurs, the cooperation requested by Buyer pursuant to Section ‎‎6.11(a) shall not (i) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Acquired Companies, or (ii) require any of the Acquired Companies to (A) pay any commitment or other similar fee, (B) have or incur any liability or obligation in connection with the Financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments, including under any agreement or any document related to the Financing, (C) commit to taking any action (including entering into any agreement) that is not contingent upon the Closing, (D) take any action that would conflict with, violate or result in a breach of or default under any Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Affiliates, any Contract, any Transaction Document or any Law or any applicable governmental rule or any governmental order, (E) take any action that could subject any director, manager, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to any actual or potential personal liability, (F) provide access to or disclose information that the Company determines in good faith could jeopardize any attorney client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality requirements applicable to, the Company or any of its Affiliates, (G) cause any director or manager of the Company or any of its Affiliates to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Financing, (H) reimburse any expenses or provide any indemnities, (I) make any representation, warranty or certification that, in the good faith determination of the Company, is not true or (J) provide any cooperation or information that does not pertain to the Company or its subsidiaries. In no event shall the Company be in breach of Section ‎6.11(a) because of its failure to deliver any financial or other information that is not currently readily prepared in the Ordinary Course of Business at the time requested by Buyer or for the failure to obtain review of any financial or other information by its accountants.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, without limiting the obligations of the Company under this Section ‎‎6.11, if (i) the cooperation required to be provided under this Section ‎6.11 in connection with any Financing other than the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter on the date hereof is more onerous to the Company and/or any of its Company Subsidiaries than what is required to be provided pursuant to this Section ‎6.11 with respect to the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter on the date hereof (any such more onerous requirement, an “Incremental Financing Cooperation Requirement”) and (ii) the Company and/or Company Subsidiary fails to satisfy any Incremental Financing Cooperation Requirement, then such failure shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section ‎6.11 for purposes of ‎‎Article VII of this Agreement.

(d)Buyer shall promptly reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost and expenses incurred by any Acquired Company in connection with the cooperation contemplated by Section ‎6.11(a), including (i) reasonable attorneys’ fee and (ii) expenses of the Company’s accounting firms engaged to provide assistance in connection with the Financing. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Acquired Companies, and their respective Representatives, from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred

by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith.

(e)For the avoidance of doubt, any information provided pursuant to this Section ‎6.11 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

(f)The Company hereby consents to the use of its and the Acquired Companies’ logos in connection with the Financing for customary marketing purposes; provided, that such logos shall be used solely in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm, disparage or otherwise adversely affect the Company or its reputation or goodwill.

6.12Tax Matters.

(a)For purposes of determining Debt, Company Transaction Expenses, and Net Working Capital hereunder, any action by Buyer or the Acquired Companies following the Closing Date to (i) file (other than with respect to Tax Returns first due (taking into account any extensions) after the Closing Date) or amend any Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (ii) make (other than with respect to any Tax election with respect to which the deadline for filing such election occurs (taking into account any extensions) after the Closing Date), change or revoke any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (iii) enter into any voluntary disclosure or similar agreement with a Governmental Body with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case (i) through (iii), shall be ignored.

(b)Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall (or, from and after the Closing, shall cause or permit the Company or any of its Affiliates to) make an election under Section 336 or Section 338 of the Code with respect to the Merger.

(c)All Tax sharing agreements and Tax indemnity, Tax allocation, or other similar arrangements that provide for the allocation, apportionment, sharing, or assignment of Tax liability between (or among) any of Acquired Companies and any of their respective Affiliates, or any combination thereof, shall be terminated as of the Closing and, subsequent to the Closing, no Acquired Company shall be bound thereby or have any further rights, liability, or obligation thereunder.

(d)All Transfer Taxes shall be borne by Buyer. Buyer shall procure any stock transfer stamps required by any Transfer Tax, and timely file, to the extent required by applicable Law, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes and provide to the Stockholder Representative upon request evidence of payment of all Transfer Taxes.

6.13Stockholder Consent; Notices.

(a)Within three Business Days after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a copy of the executed Stockholder Consent.

(b)The Company, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof and after receipt of the executed Stockholder Consent, shall mail or deliver, or cause to be mailed

or delivered, to each Stockholder which did not execute the Stockholder Consent the notification required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL with respect to the Stockholder Approval.

6.14R&W Insurance Policy. Buyer agrees to obtain, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, a representations and warranties insurance policy (the “R&W Insurance Policy”) in respect of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereto. Buyer further agrees that such R&W Insurance Policy shall expressly waive any claims of subrogation (except in the case of Fraud with respect to the making of the representations and warranties contained in ‎‎Article IV of this Agreement, and then solely with respect to payments by the insurer under such R&W Insurance Policy to the extent they arise from such Fraud) against the Equityholders or the Stockholder Representative and each of their respective past, present or future Representatives. Buyer will not permit the subrogation or other applicable provisions of the R&W Insurance Policy that impact the Equityholders’ rights to be amended, waived or otherwise modified in any manner without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative. Buyer will not cause the termination of the R&W Insurance Policy without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative. In connection with the Closing, Buyer shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the conditions to the issuance of the R&W Insurance Policy to be satisfied, and to cause the R&W Insurance Policy to be issued, including with respect to Buyer paying all fees, costs, and expenses due with respect thereto (including premium, due diligence fees, surplus line fees and insurance broker fees owing in respect of the R&W Insurance Policy), delivering all documents, instruments, certificates and other information required to be delivered thereunder, and participating in “bring down” due diligence conferences. Prior to Closing, Buyer shall provide the Company with an opportunity to review and provide comments on the R&W Insurance Policy prior to inception and, as of the Closing, shall have obtained and bound the R&W Insurance Policy on the terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and the Company. Buyer shall provide the Stockholder Representative with a true and complete copy of the final R&W Insurance Policy as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the R&W Insurance Policy is not a condition to the Closing and Buyer shall remain obligated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII of this Agreement, to consummate the Transactions.

6.15Section 280G. To the extent that any “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) has the right to receive any payments or benefits that constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), then, the Company will, (i) solicit from each such “disqualified individual” a waiver of such disqualified individual’s rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) so that any remaining payments and/or benefits shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), and (ii) with respect to each individual who agrees to the waiver described in clause (i), submit to a vote of holders of the direct or indirect equity interests of the Company entitled to vote on such matters, the right of any such “disqualified individual” to receive or retain the Waived 280G Benefits (collectively, clauses (i) and (ii), the “Section 280G Vote”). With respect to any arrangements entered into at the direction of Buyer or between Buyer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and a disqualified individual, on the other hand (“Buyer Arrangements”), Buyer will provide to the Company, no less than 15 Business Days prior to the Effective Time, a written description of any Buyer

Arrangements and the value for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of such Buyer Arrangements, and the Company shall include such description and value(s) in any materials disclosed to holders of Common Shares in connection with soliciting approval in accordance with this Section ‎6.15. At least ten Business Days prior to the Section 280G Vote, the Company shall deliver to Buyer for review and comment (which the Company will consider and incorporate in good faith) copies of any documents or agreements necessary to effect the Section 280G Vote, including, but not limited to, customary parachute payment calculations prepared by the Company’s legal counsel, accountants or tax advisors, any shareholder consent form, disclosure statement, or waiver, and the Company shall consider in good faith all comments received from Buyer on such documents or agreements. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide proof reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that (a) approval of the Section 280G Vote was obtained, and the Waived 280G Benefits may be paid or provided, as applicable, or (b) shareholder approval was not obtained, and the Waived 280G Benefits will not be paid or provided, as applicable. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Company cannot compel any disqualified individual to waive any existing rights under a contract with the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries and the Company shall not be deemed in breach of this Section ‎6.15 with respect to any disqualified individual who refuses to waive any such right.

6.16Exclusivity. The Company agrees that between the date hereof and the earlier of the Closing and the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the Acquired Companies shall not, and shall take all action necessary to ensure that none of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties shall, directly or indirectly (a) solicit, initiate, consider, knowingly encourage or accept any other proposals or offers from any Person (i) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of all or any portion of the capital stock or other equity or ownership interests of the Acquired Companies or assets of the Acquired Companies, other than inventory to be sold in the Ordinary Course of Business, (ii) to enter into any merger, consolidation or other business combination relating to the Acquired Companies or (iii) to enter into a recapitalization, reorganization or any other extraordinary business transaction involving or otherwise relating to the Acquired Companies; or (b) participate in any discussions, conversations, negotiations or other communications regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way, assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any other Person to seek to do any of the foregoing. The Acquired Companies immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, conversations, negotiations and other communications with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. The Company shall notify Buyer promptly, but in any event within 24 hours, orally and in writing if any such proposal or offer, or any inquiry or other contact with any Person with respect thereto, is made. Any such notice to Buyer shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact and the terms and conditions of such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact. The Acquired Companies shall not release any Person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which any Acquired Company or their Related Parties is a party without the prior written consent of Buyer.

6.17Notification1.1. Until the Closing, (i) the Company shall promptly notify Buyer and Merger Sub in writing of any Effect of which it is aware that will or is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 becoming incapable of being satisfied, and (ii) each of Buyer and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company in writing of

any Effect of which it is aware that will or is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 becoming incapable of being satisfied.

The provisions of this Section ‎9.1 will not, however, prevent or limit a cause of action under Section ‎9.12 to obtain an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Unless otherwise indicated, the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement which by their terms are required to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing until such covenants or agreements have been performed or satisfied.

OTHER THAN IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD BY SUCH EQUITYHOLDER OR AFFILIATE OF SUCH EQUITYHOLDER, NONE OF THE EQUITYHOLDERS NOR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN CONNECTION WITH THE R&W INSURANCE POLICY, AND BUYER (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ANY PERSON CLAIMING UNDER BUYER) HEREBY RELEASES THE EQUITYHOLDERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM ANY AND ALL LOSSES RESULTING FROM ANY SUCH CLAIMS. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ‎9.1(B) SHALL STILL APPLY (I) IF THE R&W INSURANCE POLICY IS NEVER ISSUED BY AN INSURER, (II) IF THE R&W INSURANCE POLICY IS REVOKED, CANCELED, RESCINDED OR MODIFIED IN ANY MANNER AFTER INCEPTION OR ISSUANCE, (III) IF BUYER MAKES A CLAIM UNDER THE R&W INSURANCE POLICY AND SUCH CLAIM IS DENIED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE INSURER, (IV) IF ANY CLAIM OR SERIES OF CLAIMS UNDER THE R&W INSURANCE POLICY FAILS TO EXHAUST THE APPLICABLE RETENTION, OR (V) IF ANY PORTION OF THE COVERAGE UNDER THE R&W INSURANCE POLICY HAS EXPIRED.

9.3Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury.

(a)Subject to Section 9.16, this Agreement and all Related Claims shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any Laws, provisions or rules (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware and without regard to any borrowing statute that

would result in the application of the statutes of limitations or repose of any other jurisdiction. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Laws of the State of Delaware will control even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive or procedural law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply.

(b)Subject to the provisions of Sections ‎3.2(d) and 9.16 of this Agreement, for purposes of any Related Claims, each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if (and only if) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Litigation Division) or, if (and only if) the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Litigation Division) declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, and any appellate courts therefrom (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”) and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that all Related Claims shall be heard and determined in such Chosen Court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment with respect to any such Related Claim shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

(c)Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any Legal Proceeding by the delivery of a copy thereof (other than by e-mail) in accordance with the provisions of Section ‎9.6.

(d)EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY ACTION OR LEGAL PROCEEDING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED CLAIM IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LEGAL PROCEEDING OR RELATED CLAIM. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER; (III) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION ‎9.3(D).

9.4Entire Agreement.

(a)This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Schedules and any and all Exhibits hereto), the Transaction Documents, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Clean Team Agreement and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated

hereby or to be executed in connection with the Transactions (collectively, the “Specified Documents”), contain the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, discussions, negotiations, correspondence, communications, undertakings and understandings among the parties with respect to such subject matter. The parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations with respect to the Transactions exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Specified Documents, and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement or the other Specified Documents. Furthermore, the parties hereto each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations; the parties specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of ordinary parties in an arm’s-length transaction.

(b)Except for the claims based on Fraud, the sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any representations and warranties set forth herein, made in connection herewith or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) or any claim or cause of action otherwise arising out of or related to the Transactions shall be those remedies available at Law or in equity for breach of contract against the parties to this Agreement only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement), and the parties hereby agree that neither party hereto shall have any remedies or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise) for any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties not explicitly set forth in this Agreement.

(c)Buyer and Merger Sub each acknowledge and agree that no Representative of any of the Acquired Companies has any authority, express or implied, to make any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements not specifically set forth in this Agreement and subject to the limited remedies provided in this Agreement. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein, other than in the case of Fraud. No Person is asserting the truth of any factual statements contained in any representation and warranty set forth in this Agreement; rather, the parties hereto have agreed that should any representations and warranties of any party prove inaccurate, the other party shall have the specific remedies herein specified as the exclusive remedy therefor, other than in the case of Fraud.

9.5Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified by the parties hereto (a) before the Closing Date, if and only if such amendment or modification is in writing and signed on behalf of Buyer and the Company by action authorized by their respective boards of directors or other applicable governing bodies (notwithstanding any stockholder approval); provided that after the approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of Company, no such amendment will be made except as allowed under applicable Law and (b) after the Closing Date, if and only if such amendment or modification is in writing and signed on behalf of Buyer and the Stockholder Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.5 and Sections 9.3, 9.9 and 9.16 (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification of such provisions would

modify the substance of such Sections) cannot be amended, waived, supplemented or modified in a manner adverse to any Financing Source without the written consent of such Financing Source. No waiver by any party of any provision of this Agreement or any breach of this Agreement hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party making such waiver. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

9.6Notices. All notices, requests, instructions, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) on the date sent by e-mail if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient, provided no “bounce back” or similar message of nondelivery is received with respect thereto, or (iii) when received by the addressee if sent by nationally recognized overnight delivery service (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case, at the following addresses (or to such other address as a party may specify by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision (e-mail being sufficient)):

9.7Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto 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 are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

9.8Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party hereto, directly or indirectly (by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, however, that Buyer and/or Merger Sub, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to (a) the Financing Sources as collateral or (b) to any Affiliate of Buyer. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the parties hereto of any such obligations.

9.9No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights, remedies or claims of any nature upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, except for the rights of (i) the Indemnitees as set forth Section ‎6.6; (ii) K&L Gates and DLA as set forth in Section ‎9.10; (iii) the Financing Sources as set forth in Sections 9.3, 9.5, this Section 9.9 and Section 9.16; (iv) the Released Parties as set forth in Section 9.13; and (v) the Non-Parties as set forth in Section ‎9.11. All of the Persons

identified as third-party beneficiaries in the immediately preceding sentence shall be entitled to enforce such provisions and to avail themselves of the benefits of any remedy for any breach of such provisions, all to the same extent as if such Persons were parties to this Agreement.

9.10Legal Representation.

(a)Each of Buyer and the Company (and the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time) hereby agree, on behalf of itself, its respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, and its respective successors and assigns (all such parties, the “Waiving Parties”), that K&L Gates LLP (or any successor) (“K&L Gates”) and DLA Piper LLP (US) (or any successor) (“DLA”) may represent (i) any or all of the Equityholders or any of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees or Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Group”) or (ii) the Stockholder Representative, in each case, in connection with any dispute, litigation, claim, proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or the Transactions or thereby adverse to the Waiving Parties or any other Person, notwithstanding its representation (or any continued representation) of the Company (and the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time) and/or any of the Company Subsidiaries. Each of Buyer and the Company, on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest, breach of duty or any other objection arising therefrom or relating thereto.

(b)Each of Buyer and the Company (and the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time), on behalf of its itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby irrevocably acknowledge and agree that all communications, written or oral, between any of the Acquired Companies, any Person in the Seller Group or the Stockholder Representative and its counsel, including K&L Gates and DLA, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or the Transactions, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications that do not pass to the Surviving Corporation notwithstanding the Merger, and instead survive, remain with and are controlled by the Stockholder Representative (the “Privileged Communications”), without any waiver thereof.

(c)Each of Buyer and the Company (and the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time), on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby further agree (i) that no Person may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications, whether located in the records or email server of an Acquired Company or the Surviving Corporation or otherwise (including in the knowledge of the officers and employees), in any dispute or Legal Proceedings against or involving any of the parties hereto after the Closing, (ii) not to assert that any privilege has been waived as to the Privileged Communications, whether located in the records or email server of an Acquired Company or the Surviving Corporation or otherwise (including in the knowledge of the officers and employees) and (iii) not to take any action that would result in any subsequent waiver of the privilege respecting the Privileged Communications.

9.11Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Related Claims may only be made or asserted against (and are expressly limited to) the Persons that are expressly identified as the parties hereto in the preamble to and signature pages of this Agreement and solely in their capacities as such. No Person who is not a party hereto, including

any current, former or future Affiliate or Representative of any party hereto, any Financing Source or any current, former, or future Affiliate or Representative of any of the foregoing (such Persons, collectively, but specifically excluding the parties hereto, “Non-Parties”), shall have any liability (whether at Law or in equity, based upon contract, tort, statute or otherwise) for obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any Related Claim and each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives and releases all such liabilities, obligations and Related Claims against any such Non-Party, other than in the case of Fraud by a Non-Party. Without limiting the rights of any party hereto against the other parties hereto as set forth herein, in no event shall any party hereto, any of its Affiliates or any Person claiming by, through or on behalf of any of them institute any Related Claim against any Non-Party. In no event shall any Person be liable for the Fraud of any other Person, and a claim for Fraud may only be asserted against the Person that committed such Fraud. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.11 shall not apply to Section 9.15, which shall be binding upon, and enforceable by the Stockholder Representative in its entirety against, the Equityholders.

9.12Specific Performance.

(a)The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached, and that money damages or legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Therefore, it is accordingly agreed that each party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by any other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of any other party, in any of the Chosen Courts, and appropriate injunctive relief shall be granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.

(b)Each party hereto hereby waives (i) any defenses in any action for specific performance, and agrees not to oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as provided herein, on the basis that (A) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (B) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

(c)The parties hereto agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section ‎9.12, no party shall in any respect waive its right to seek at any time any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including monetary damages) and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section ‎9.12 shall require any party hereto to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section ‎9.12 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under ‎‎Article VIII, nor shall the commencement of any Legal Proceeding pursuant to this Section ‎9.12 or anything set forth in this Section ‎‎9.12 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of ‎‎Article VIII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement any other Transaction Document that may be available then or thereafter.

9.13Release. Effective upon the Closing, except for any rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents each of Buyer and the Company on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates and each of its current, former and future officers, directors, employees, partners, members, advisors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Equityholders, their respective Affiliates and each of their respective current, former and future officers, directors, employees, partners, members, advisors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) of and from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, executions, judgments, duties, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, contracts and covenants (whether express or implied), and claims and demands whatsoever whether in law or in equity which the Releasing Parties may have against each of the Released Parties, now has or in the future may have, in respect of any cause, matter or thing relating to the business or operations of the Acquired Companies, the Transactions or the ownership of Common Shares, Stock Options, RSUs or PSUs by the Released Parties, in each case, occurring or arising on or prior to the date of the Closing Date, in each case, except (i) to the extent arising out of the Transaction Documents, (ii) to the extent not waivable under applicable Law, (iii) in the case of Fraud or (iv) with respect to any covenants or agreements that survive the Closing pursuant to Section 9.1(a). Subject to the terms of this Section 9.13, each of Buyer and the Company, on behalf of itself and each Releasing Party, covenant and agree that no Releasing Party shall assert any such claim against the Released Parties.

9.14Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts including by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “.pdf” form, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

9.15Stockholder Representative.

(a)Designation. The Stockholder Representative is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed to serve as of the Closing as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of each Equityholder with respect to all matters in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b)Authority. Each Equityholder, by his, her or its (i) acceptance of any portion of the Merger Consideration or (ii) approval of this Agreement and the Merger by voting in favor of, or consenting to, the Transactions, irrevocably appoints the Stockholder Representative as the representative, agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Equityholder for all purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and any other Transaction Documents, including the full power and authority on such Equityholder’s behalf to (A) consummate the Transactions, (B) make any determinations and settle any matters in connection with the adjustment of the Merger Consideration contemplated by ‎‎Article III, (C) cause the Paying Agent to distribute any funds payable by Buyer hereunder which are for the account of the Equityholders (if any), (D) to deduct and/or hold back any funds which may be payable to any Equityholder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in order to pay, or establish a reserve for, any amount which may be payable by such Equityholder hereunder, (E) instruct the Escrow Agent to release any amounts from the Adjustment Escrow Account as permitted by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, (F) give or receive notice under this Agreement, to

execute and deliver on behalf of such Equityholder any amendment to the terms hereof or grant any waiver, consent or approval by the Equityholders under this Agreement, (G) take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Equityholder in connection herewith, (H) retain funds for reasonably anticipated expenses and liabilities, (I) approve amendments to this Agreement and (J) do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Equityholder or the Equityholders collectively are permitted or required to do or exercise in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and any other Transaction Document. The Stockholder Representative shall act for the Equityholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in the manner the Stockholder Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Equityholders. All decisions and actions by the Stockholder Representative made in accordance with the authority granted to it hereunder shall be binding upon all of the Equityholders, and no Equityholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer and Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by, and all decisions, consents and instruction of, the Stockholder Representative in connection with this Agreement as being actions, decisions, consents and instructions of the Equityholders, and each of Buyer and Merger Sub are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for acts done by them in accordance with any such actions, decisions, consents and instructions.

(c)Expense Reserve Holdback Amount.

(i)The Stockholder Representative will hold the Expense Reserve Holdback Amount in a segregated FDIC-insured (to the applicable limits) account separate from the Stockholder Representative’s corporate funds and Stockholder Representative will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Reserve Holdback Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Reserve Holdback Amount other than as a result of its fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(ii)The Expense Reserve Holdback Amount shall be retained by the Stockholder Representative for such time as the Stockholder Representative shall determine in its sole discretion. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Stockholder Representative’s responsibilities, the Stockholder Representative will deliver the aggregate amount of funds remaining in the Expense Reserve Holdback Account to the Paying Agent, for the benefit of and distribution to, the Equityholders and the Paying Agent shall pay to:

(A)each Stockholder, with respect to each Common Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by such Stockholder upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of surrender as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in

accordance with this Agreement, an amount equal to the Expense Reserve Holdback Release Amount Per Share; and

(B)the Company for payment to each holder of any In-the-Money Stock Options, RSUs or PSUs, with respect to each Common Share underlying such Stock Option, RSU or PSU, an amount equal to the Expense Reserve Holdback Release Amount Per Share.

(iii)For Tax purposes, the Expense Reserve Holdback Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Equityholders at the time of Closing.

(d)Replacement. The Stockholder Representative may resign in writing at any time. In the event that the Stockholder Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Equityholders (or, if applicable, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns) who held a majority of the voting power represented by the capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall select another representative to fill such vacancy, and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Stockholder Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. Written notice of any such resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative, and the appointment of a new Stockholder Representative, shall be delivered by the Equityholders to Buyer promptly after such action is taken.

(e)Exculpation.

(i)The Stockholder Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any other Transaction Document while acting in good faith, except in the event of liability that primarily results from the Stockholder Representative’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. Buyer agrees that it will not look to the personal assets of the Stockholder Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Acquired Companies (pre-Closing) or the Equityholders.

(ii)The Equityholders will, severally (based on its Pro Rata Share; provided, that the aggregate percentage of the indemnification provided to the Stockholder Representative shall in all cases sum to 100%) but not jointly with the other Equityholders, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided that in the event that any such Representative Loss

is finally adjudicated to have been primarily caused by the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) the Expense Reserve Holdback Amount, (ii) the amounts in the Adjustment Escrow Account at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Equityholders and (iii) any other funds that become payable to the Equityholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Equityholders; provided, that while the Stockholder Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholder Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(iii)This Section ‎‎9.15(e) will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

9.16Exculpation of Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, on behalf of itself, the Company Subsidiaries and each of its controlled Affiliates hereby:

(a)agrees that any action or proceeding, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Financing Sources, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Financing and/or any of the agreements (including the Commitment Letter) entered into in connection with the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, so long as such forum is and remains available, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such action or proceeding to be the exclusive jurisdiction of such court;

(b)agrees that any such action or proceeding shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of Law principles that would result in the application of the Laws of another state);

(c)without limiting the rights of Buyer and/or Merger Sub under the Commitment Letter and/or any right or remedy available to any person under the definitive documentation governing the Financing, agrees not to bring or support or permit any of its Affiliates to bring or support any action or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source in any

way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than any federal (to the extent permitted by Law) or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York;

(d)agrees that service of process upon the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or its controlled Affiliates in any such proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section ‎9.3;

(e)irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Legal Proceeding in any such court;

(f)KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE FINANCING, THE COMMITMENT LETTER OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO IN CONNECTION WITH THE FINANCING OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR THE PERFORMANCES OF ANY SERVICES THEREUNDER;

(g)without limiting the rights of Buyer and/or Merger Sub under the Commitment Letter and/or any right or remedy available to any person under the definitive documentation governing the Financing, agrees that none of the Financing Sources will have any liability to the Stockholder Representative, the Equityholders, the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective controlled Affiliates (in each case, other than Buyer and its subsidiaries) and hereby waives any and all claims and causes of action against the Financing Sources relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise; and

(h)agrees that the Financing Sources are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions of this Section ‎9.16 and that such provisions and the definition of “Financing Source” and “Financing” (and any other provisions of this Agreement to the extent a modification thereof would affect the substance of any of the foregoing) shall not be amended or waived in any way adverse to any Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source.
