To the stockholders of Sentinel Energy Services Inc.:

You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting in lieu of the 2018 annual meeting (the “special meeting”) of stockholders of Sentinel Energy Services Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sentinel,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), which will be held at 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on February 5, 2019, at the offices of Winston & Strawn LLP, at 2121 North Pearl Street, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75201.

The special meeting will be held for the following purposes:

(a)

Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the transaction agreement and plan of merger, dated as of October 18, 2018 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among Sentinel, Strike Capital, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Strike”), OEP Secondary Fund (Strike), LLC (“Blocker”), One Equity Partners Secondary Fund, L.P. (“Blocker Seller”), the other equityholders of Strike party thereto (collectively, the “Unit Sellers” and together with the Blocker Seller, the “Sellers”), OEP-Strike Seller Representative, LLC (the “Seller Representative”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sentinel (“Blocker Merger Sub”), which provides for, among other things, (1) the merger of Blocker Merger Sub with and into Blocker, with Blocker continuing as the surviving entity, immediately followed by the merger of Blocker with and into Sentinel, with Sentinel continuing as the surviving entity, (2) the purchase by Sentinel of certain of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike from certain Unit Sellers for cash, with the Continuing Members (as defined in this proxy statement) retaining the remaining issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike and each such Continuing Member receiving a number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock (as defined in this proxy statement), equal to the number of Company Units (as defined in this proxy statement) retained by such Continuing Member, (3) the contribution by Sentinel to Strike of all remaining cash held by Sentinel, and (4) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement (as defined in this proxy statement) (the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, the “business combination” and such proposal, the “business combination proposal”);

(b)

The Charter Proposals— to consider and vote upon three separate proposals (which we refer to, collectively, as the “charter proposals”) to approve, assuming the business combination proposal is approved and adopted, the following material differences between the current certificate of incorporation of Sentinel (the “Sentinel Charter”) and the proposed amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Charter”) of Strike, Inc. (“StrikeCo”), which, if approved, would take effect upon the Closing (the “Closing”):

(1)

Proposal No. 2 — Charter Proposal A —to approve the provision in the Proposed Charter increasing the authorized capital stock from 221,000,000 shares consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Sentinel Class A common stock”), 20,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Sentinel Class B common stock”), and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“preferred stock”), to authorized capital stock of 451,000,000 shares, consisting of (x) 450,000,000 shares of common stock, including 400,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of StrikeCo (“StrikeCo Class A common stock”), and 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of StrikeCo (“StrikeCo Class B common stock” and, together with StrikeCo Class A common stock, “StrikeCo common stock”) and (y) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (we refer to this as “charter proposal A”);

(2)

Proposal No. 3 — Charter Proposal B — to approve the provision in the Proposed Charter providing that each member of StrikeCo’s board of directors will be elected annually at each annual meeting of stockholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof) following the Closing (we refer to this as “charter proposal B”);

(4)

Proposal No. 4 — Charter Proposal C — to approve all other changes in connection with amending the Sentinel Charter, including, among other things, (1) changing the post-business combination corporate name from “Sentinel Energy Services Inc.” to “Strike, Inc.” and making StrikeCo’s corporate existence perpetual and (2) removing certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company that will no longer apply upon consummation of the business combination, all of which Sentinel’s board of directors believe are necessary to adequately address the needs of StrikeCo after the business combination (we refer to this as “charter proposal C”).

(c)

Proposal No. 5 — The Stock Issuance Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the business combination proposal and the charter proposals are approved and adopted, for the purposes of complying with the applicable listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), the issuance of (x) shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock to (1) the Blocker Seller at the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, (2) CSL Energy in a private placement (the “CSL Private Placement”) at the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the CSL Subscription Agreement (as defined in this proxy statement), (3) certain funds and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (the “Fidelity Investors”) in a private placement (the “Fidelity Private Placement” and, together with the CSL Private Placement, the “Private Placement”), pursuant to the terms of the Fidelity Subscription Agreement (as defined in this proxy statement), (4) the Invacor Sellers (as defined in this proxy statement), pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement and (5) to the Continuing Members who exchange the Company Units and an equal number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock, from time to time, held by them following the Closing, pursuant to and in accordance with, the terms of the Exchange Agreement (as defined in this proxy statement), and (y) shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock to the Continuing Members, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, in each case as described in the accompanying proxy statement (we refer to this proposal as the “stock issuance proposal”);

(d)

Proposal No. 6 — The Director Election Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to elect one director, assuming charter proposal B is not approved and our board of directors remains classified, to serve as a Class I director on StrikeCo’s board of directors for a term of three years expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2021 or until such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. Assuming charter proposal B is approved and our board of directors is declassified, such nominee, if elected, will serve on our board of directors for a term expiring at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders or until such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal (we refer to this proposal as the “director election proposal”);

(e)

Proposal No. 7 — The Incentive Award Plan Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the business combination proposal, the charter proposals and the stock issuance proposal are approved and adopted, the Strike, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement as Annex D (we refer to this proposal as the “incentive award plan proposal” and, collectively with the business combination proposal, the charter proposals and the stock issuance proposal, the “condition precedent proposals”);

(f)

Proposal No. 8 — The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, any of the condition precedent proposals would not be duly approved and adopted by our stockholders or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Transaction Agreement is not satisfied or waived (we refer to this proposal as the “adjournment proposal”).

Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement, which you are encouraged to read carefully.

Only holders of record of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock and shares of Sentinel Class B common stock (collectively, “shares of Sentinel common stock”) at the close of business on January 14, 2019 are entitled to notice of and to vote and have their votes counted at the special meeting and any adjournment of the special meeting. A complete list of Sentinel’s stockholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for ten days before the special meeting at Sentinel’s principal executive offices for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the special meeting.

We are providing the accompanying proxy statement and accompanying proxy card to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the special meeting and at any adjournment of the special meeting.Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, we urge you to read the accompanying proxy statement (and any documents incorporated into the accompanying proxy statement by reference) carefully. Please pay particular attention to the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 50 of this proxy statement.

After careful consideration, Sentinel’s board of directors has determined that each of the business combination proposal, the charter proposals, the stock issuance proposal, the director election proposal, the incentive award plan proposal and the adjournment proposal are in the best interests of Sentinel and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.

Sentinel’s initial stockholders (consisting of Sentinel Management Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), Marc Zenner and Jon A. Marshall) and its other officers and directors entered into letter agreements at the time of the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), pursuant to which they agreed to vote the shares of Sentinel Class B common stock (“founder shares”) purchased by them, as well as any shares of Sentinel Class A common stock sold by Sentinel in the IPO (“public shares”) purchased by them during or after the IPO, in favor of the business combination proposal and for all other proposals presented to Sentinel’s stockholders in this proxy statement. As of the date hereof, Sentinel’s initial stockholders own 20.0% of its total outstanding shares of common stock.

Pursuant to the Sentinel Charter, a holder of public shares (“public stockholder(s)”) may request that Sentinel redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the business combination is consummated. You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)

(a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(ii)

prior to 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on February 1, 2019, (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sentinel’s transfer agent (the “transfer agent”), that Sentinel redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for thebusiness combination proposal. If the business combination is not consummated, the public shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a public stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem its public shares and timely delivers its shares to the transfer agent, we will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account established in connection with the IPO (the “trust account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay franchise and income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. For illustrative purposes, as of December 31, 2018, this would have amounted to approximately $10.15 per public share. If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until immediately prior to the vote on the proposed business combination and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivers its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Sentinel instruct its transfer agent to return the certificate (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement. See “Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Transaction Agreement provides for, among other things, (1) the merger of Blocker Merger Sub with and into Blocker, with Blocker continuing as the surviving entity, immediately followed by the merger of Blocker with and into Sentinel, with Sentinel continuing as the surviving entity, (2) the purchase by Sentinel of certain of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike from certain Unit Sellers for cash, with the Continuing Members retaining the remaining issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike and each such Continuing Member receiving a number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock (as defined in this proxy statement), equal to the number of Company Units retained by such Continuing Member, (3) the contribution by Sentinel to Strike of all remaining cash held by Sentinel, and (4) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

In connection with the business combination, assuming no redemptions by public stockholders, Sentinel is expected to acquire approximately 72%, of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike from the Unit Sellers, with those Unit Sellers who elect to retain certain of their Company Units instead of receiving all cash consideration (the “Continuing Members”) expected to retain the remaining approximately 28% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike (such retained equity interests, the “Retained Company Units”). Prior to the Closing, the equity interests in Strike (referred to as “Company Units”) will be held by the Unit Sellers and indirectly by the Blocker Seller.

either one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock or, at our election, the cash equivalent to the market value of one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Exchange Agreement. The Cash Consideration is expected to be funded from the following sources: (1) proceeds available from the trust account, after giving effect to any and all redemptions; and (2) proceeds from a private placement of 13,200,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock at $10.00 per share, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (the “Equity Offering”).

The consummation of the business combination is conditioned upon, among others, approval by Sentinel’s stockholders of the Transaction Agreement and the business combination and Sentinel having sufficient cash available to pay the Minimum Cash Amount (as defined in this proxy statement) to the Sellers under the Transaction Agreement, which is expected to be approximately $124.4 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Transaction Agreement. Unless waived, if any of these conditions are not satisfied, the business combination may not be consummated. Furthermore, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. See “The Business Combination Proposal — The Transaction Agreement.”

Approval of the business combination proposal, the stock issuance proposal, the incentive award plan proposal and the adjournment proposal require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast by Sentinel’s stockholders present in person or by proxy at the special meeting. Approval of each of charter proposal A and C requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Sentinel common stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting. Approval of charter proposal B requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Sentinel common stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting.

Pursuant to the Sentinel Charter, until the consummation of our initial business combination, only holders of shares of Sentinel Class B common stock can elect, remove and replace directors. Therefore, only holders of Sentinel Class B common stock will vote on the election of directors at the special meeting. The election of directors is decided by a plurality of the votes of the Sentinel Class B common stock present in person or by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the director nominee will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other nominee for the same position. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors.

All Sentinel stockholders are cordially invited to attend the special meeting in person. To ensure your representation at the special meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible. If you are a stockholder of record holding shares of Sentinel common stock, you may also cast your vote in person at the special meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the special meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank. A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the proposals other than the charter proposals. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the proposals except for the charter proposals. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person or an abstention from voting on any of the charter proposals will have the same effective as a vote “AGAINST” such charter proposal.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the special meeting or not, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares

Thank you for your participation. We look forward to your continued support.

To the stockholders of Sentinel Energy Services Inc.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting in lieu of the 2018 annual meeting (the “special meeting”) of stockholders of Sentinel Energy Services Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sentinel,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), will be held at 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on February 5, 2019, at the offices of Winston & Strawn LLP, at 2121 North Pearl Street, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75201. You are cordially invited to attend the meeting, which will be held for the following purposes:

(a)

(b)

The Charter Proposals — to consider and vote upon three separate proposals (which we refer to, collectively, as the “charter proposals”) to approve, assuming the business combination proposal is approved and adopted, the following material differences between the current certificate of incorporation of Sentinel (the “Sentinel Charter”) and the proposed amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Charter”) of Strike, Inc. (“StrikeCo”), which, if approved, would take effect upon the Closing (the “Closing”):

(1)

Proposal No. 2 — Charter Proposal A — to approve the provision in the Proposed Charter increasing the authorized capital stock from 221,000,000 shares consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Sentinel Class A common stock”), 20,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Sentinel Class B common stock”), and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“preferred stock”), to authorized capital stock of 451,000,000 shares, consisting of (x) 450,000,000 shares of common stock, including 400,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of StrikeCo (“StrikeCo Class A common stock”), and 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of StrikeCo (“StrikeCo Class B common stock” and, together with StrikeCo Class A common stock, “StrikeCo common stock”) and (y) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (we refer to this as “charter proposal A”);

(2)

Proposal No. 3 — Charter Proposal B — to approve the provision in the Proposed Charter providing that each member of StrikeCo’s board of directors will be elected annually at each

annual meeting of stockholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof) following the Closing (we refer to this as “charter proposal B”);

(4)

(c)

Proposal No. 5 — The Stock Issuance Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the business combination proposal and the charter proposals are approved and adopted, for the purposes of complying with the applicable listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), the issuance of (x) shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock to (1) the Blocker Seller at the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, (2) CSL Energy in a private placement (the “CSL Private Placement”) at the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the CSL Subscription Agreement (as defined in this proxy statement), (3) certain funds and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (the “Fidelity Investors”) in a private placement (the “Fidelity Private Placement” and, together with the CSL Private Placement, the “Private Placement”), pursuant to the terms of the Fidelity Subscription Agreement (as defined in this proxy statement), (4) the Invacor Sellers (as defined in this proxy statement), pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement and (5) to the Continuing Members who exchange the Company Units and an equal number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock, from time to time, held by them following the Closing, pursuant to and in accordance with, the terms of the Exchange Agreement (as defined in this proxy statement), and (y) shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock to the Continuing Members, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement (we refer to this proposal as the “stock issuance proposal”);

(d)

(e)

(f)

The above matters are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement, which also includes, as Annex A, a copy of the Transaction Agreement. We urge you to read carefully the accompanying proxy statement in its entirety, including the Annexes and accompanying financial statements of Sentinel and Strike.

Prior to the date of this proxy statement, we changed our jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “domestication”). As a result, on the effective date of the domestication, each of Sentinel’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares (the “Class A ordinary shares”) and Class B ordinary shares (the “Class B ordinary shares”) automatically converted by operation of law into one share of Sentinel Class A common stock (as defined below) and one share of Sentinel Class B common stock (as defined below), respectively, and each of Sentinel’s outstanding warrants became warrants to acquire the corresponding number of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock (as defined below). Accordingly, all references to Sentinel in this proxy statement refer to the post-domestication company.

Only holders of record of Shares of Sentinel Class A common stock and shares of Sentinel Class B common stock (collectively, “shares of Sentinel common stock”) at the close of business on January 14, 2019 are entitled to notice of and to vote and have their votes counted at the special meeting and any adjournment of the special meeting. A complete list of Sentinel’s stockholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for ten days before the special meeting at Sentinel’s principal executive offices for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the special meeting.

(i)

(ii)

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. No fractional public warrants will be issued upon separation of the units. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the business combination proposal. If the business combination is not consummated, the public shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a public stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem its public shares and timely delivers its shares to the transfer agent, we will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account established in connection with the IPO (the “trust account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay franchise and income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. For illustrative purposes, as of December 31, 2018, this would have amounted to approximately $10.15 per public share. If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until immediately prior to the vote on the proposed business combination and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivers its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Sentinel instruct its transfer agent to return the certificate (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement. See “Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Under the Transaction Agreement, the approval of each of the condition precedent proposals is a condition to the consummation of the business combination. The adoption of each condition precedent proposal is conditioned on the approval of all of the condition precedent proposals. The director election proposal and the adjournment proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal. If our stockholders do not approve each of the condition precedent proposals, the business combination may not be consummated. Furthermore, the consummation of the business combination is conditioned upon, among others, approval by Sentinel’s stockholders of the Transaction Agreement and the business combination and Sentinel having sufficient cash available to pay the Minimum Cash Amount to the Sellers under the Transaction Agreement, which is expected to be approximately $124.4 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Transaction Agreement. Unless waived, if any of these conditions are not satisfied, the business combination may not be consummated. Furthermore, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. See “The Business Combination Proposal — The Transaction Agreement.”

Your attention is directed to the proxy statement accompanying this notice (including the annexes thereto) for a more complete description of the proposed business combination and related transactions and each of the proposals.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS

Prior to the date of this proxy statement, we changed our jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “domestication”). As a result, on the effective date of the domestication, each of Sentinel’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares automatically converted by operation of law into one share of Sentinel Class A common stock and one share of Sentinel Class B common stock, respectively, and each of Sentinel’s outstanding warrants became warrants to acquire the corresponding number of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock. Accordingly, all references to Sentinel in this proxy statement refer to the post-domestication company.

Q:	Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

Sentinel is proposing to consummate a business combination with Strike. Sentinel and Strike have entered into the Transaction Agreement, the terms of which are described in this proxy statement. A copy of the Transaction Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. Sentinel urges its stockholders to read the Transaction Agreement in its entirety. The Transaction Agreement, provides for, among other things, (1) the merger of Blocker Merger Sub with and into Blocker, with Blocker continuing as the surviving entity, immediately followed by the merger of Blocker with and into Sentinel, with Sentinel continuing as the surviving entity, (2) the purchase by Sentinel of certain of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike from certain Unit Sellers for cash, with the Continuing Members retaining the remaining issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike and each such Continuing Member receiving a number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock equal to the number of Company Units retained by such Continuing Member, (3) the contribution by Sentinel to Strike of all remaining cash held by Sentinel, and (4) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, all of which is referred to, along with the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, as the “business combination.”

Consummation of the business combination requires the approval of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Sentinel common stock that are voted in person or by proxy at the special meeting.

On the effective date of the business combination, each currently issued and outstanding share of Sentinel Class A common stock and Sentinel Class B common stock will convert into one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Sentinel Charter. StrikeCo will also issue shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock. In addition, each of Sentinel’s outstanding whole warrants will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock in accordance with its terms.

Similarly, before the Closing, each outstanding unit of Sentinel (each of which consists of one share of Sentinel Class A common stock and one-third of one warrant to purchase one share of Sentinel Class A common stock) will be separated into its component common stock and warrant.

THE VOTE OF STOCKHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO SUBMIT THEIR PROXIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Q:	Why is Sentinel proposing the business combination?

A:	Sentinel was organized to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

range of services includes installation and maintenance of pipelines and associated facilities, integrity testing, instrumentation, electrical fabrication and technical services for the management and operation of midstream assets. In addition, Strike offers engineering support and other professional services. With more than 30 local service locations across key U.S. energy markets, Strike offers nationwide asset maintenance and service coverage to its clients to provide a single, unified solution for maintaining and servicing their entire asset footprint. Strike also provides large-scale pipeline and facilities construction services, with a particular focus on highly technical and complex installation techniques. Strike’s installation capabilities provide its clients with a single service provider for the full scope of their infrastructure needs from initial construction through an asset’s full life cycle.

Strike operates through two business segments: (1) Infrastructure and Integrity Services (“IIS”) and (2) Major Projects. Strike’s IIS segment provides end-to-end support from initial construction to ongoing integrity, maintenance, engineering, design, program management and operations. Strike’s Major Projects segment provides construction services for large-scale pipeline and facility construction projects across the United States.

Strike’s “safety first” culture is at the core of its operations and service offerings. Coupled with its high standards of quality and environmental stewardship, the leadership team’s commitment to safety ensures quick, safe and reliable service. For clients, Strike’s investment in safety education and enforcement translates to a decreased risk of financial, legal, and reputational repercussions.

See“The Business Combination Proposal — Sentinel’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination.”

Q:	What will Strike’s equityholders receive in return for the acquisition of Strike by Sentinel?

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement, upon completion of the business combination, Sentinel has agreed to pay to the Sellers approximately $124.4 million in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and issue to the Sellers an aggregate of approximately 30.6 million shares of StrikeCo common stock, with Blocker Seller receiving a portion of such cash and shares of StrikeCo A common stock and the Unit Sellers receiving a portion of such cash and/or a number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock equal to the number of Retained Company Units held by them, in each case, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, each Retained Company Unit, together with one share of StrikeCo Class B common stock, will be exchangeable in the future, subject to certain conditions, for either one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock, or, at StrikeCo’s election, the cash equivalent to the market value of one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Exchange Agreement. The Cash Consideration is expected to be funded from the following sources: (1) proceeds available from the trust account, after giving effect to any and all redemptions; and (2) proceeds from a private placement of 13,200,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock at $10.00 per share, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (the “Equity Offering”).

Q:	What are the principal differences between StrikeCo Class A common stock and StrikeCo Class B common stock?

After the business combination, the StrikeCo Class A common stock and StrikeCo Class B common stock will constitute all of the classes of StrikeCo common stock and will possess all voting power for the election of directors of StrikeCo and all other matters requiring stockholder action. The StrikeCo Class A common stock and StrikeCo Class B common stock will at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of StrikeCo, which shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock and StrikeCo Class B common stock each are entitled to one vote per share. The principal difference between the StrikeCo Class A common stock and StrikeCo Class B common stock is that the StrikeCo Class B common stock will not be entitled to receive dividends, if declared by StrikeCo’s board of directors, or to

receive any portion of any assets in respect of such shares upon the liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the post-business combination company. In addition, upon the conversion or cancellation of the Company Units held by the Continuing Members pursuant to the Exchange Agreement for shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock, the corresponding shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock automatically will be cancelled for no consideration.

Q:	What equity stake will current Sentinel stockholders hold in StrikeCo immediately after the consummation of the business combination?

A:	It is anticipated that, upon completion of the business combination, the ownership interests in StrikeCo will be as set forth in the table below.


	Assuming No Redemptions of Public Shares			Assuming Maximum Redemptions of Public Shares⁽¹⁾
Sentinel’s public stockholders		39	%		3	%
Initial Stockholders		10	%		15	%
CSL Energy		4	%		7	%
Fidelity Investors		12	%		20	%
Sellers		35	%		55	%

(1)

Assumes that holders of 32,632,412 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock exercise their redemption rights (maximum redemptions scenario based on $348,956,985 held in trust as of September 30, 2018 and a redemption price of approximately $10.12 per share).

The ownership percentages set forth above were calculated based on the amounts set forth in the sources and uses table on pages 39 and 114 of this proxy statement and do not take into account (a) public warrants and private placement warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the business combination and may be exercised thereafter (commencing 30 days after the closing of the business combination) or (b) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the business combination under the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex D, but does include the founder shares, which, on the effective date of the business combination, will convert into one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Sentinel Charter. If the actual facts are different than the assumptions set forth above, the percentage ownership numbers set forth above will be different.

For more information, please see the section entitled“Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

Furthermore, there are currently outstanding an aggregate of 17,433,333 warrants to acquire our shares of Sentinel Class A common stock, which comprise 5,933,333 private placement warrants held by our initial stockholders and 11,500,000 public warrants. Each of our outstanding whole warrants is exercisable commencing 30 days following the Closing for one share of Class A common stock and, following the consummation of the business combination, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock in accordance with its terms. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement, if we assume that each outstanding whole warrant is exercised and one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock is issued as a result of such exercise, with payment to Sentinel of the exercise price of $11.50 per whole warrant for one whole share, our fully-diluted share capital would increase by a total of 17,433,333 shares, with approximately $200,483,330 paid to Sentinel to exercise the warrants.

Q:	How will StrikeCo and Strike be managed following the business combination?

Following the consummation of the business combination, StrikeCo will hold a majority, expected to be approximately 72%, of the economic interests in Strike and will be the managing member of Strike. As such, StrikeCo, through its directors and officers, will be responsible for all operational and administrative

decisions of Strike and the day-to-day management of Strike’s business. Following the consummation of the business combination, the current management of Strike will become the management of StrikeCo. None of Sentinel’s current officers will be officers of StrikeCo after the Closing.

Sentinel is, and after the Closing StrikeCo will continue to be, managed by its board of directors, which will continue to be made up of seven directors. Following the completion of the business combination, two of our current directors will resign from the board, the remaining five directors will continue to serve as directors of StrikeCo, and those remaining five directors will appoint two new directors in accordance with the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement.

Please see the section entitled “Management of StrikeCo Following the Business Combination” for further information.

Q:	What interests do our initial stockholders, current officers and directors, and Strike’s current owners have in the Business Combination?

In considering the recommendation of our board of directors to vote in favor of the business combination, stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders, our Sponsor and our directors and officers and Strike’s current owners have interests in the business combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of our other stockholders generally. Our directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the business combination, and in recommending to our stockholders that they approve the business combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the business combination. These interests include, among other things:

•

•

the fact that our initial stockholders paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the founder shares, which will convert into 8,625,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Sentinel Charter, and such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the business combination, estimated at approximately $86,767,500 based on the closing price of $10.06 per public shares on Nasdaq on January 15, 2019;

If we do not consummate an initial business combination by November 7, 2019, then the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $4,924,666 based upon the closing price of $0.83 per warrant on Nasdaq on January 15, 2019;

Such purchase may be considered an affiliated joint acquisition because of the affiliation between our Sponsor and CSL Energy; and

the fact that, one or more investment funds controlled by CSL Energy have agreed to purchase 2,200,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock in a private placement pursuant to the CSL Subscription Agreement.

Please also see the section “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” for more information on the interests and relationships of our initial stockholders, current officers and directors, and Strike’s current owners.

Q:	What Is an “Up-C” Structure?

Our corporate structure following the business combination, as described under the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal – General; Structure of the Business Combination,” is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure, which is often used by partnerships and limited liability companies when they undertake an initial public offering either directly or through a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company, such as Sentinel. The Up-C structure will allow Continuing Members to continue to realize tax benefits associated with owning interests in an entity that is treated as a partnership, or “passthrough” entity, for U.S. federal income (and certain state and local) tax purposes following the business combination. One of these benefits is that, for U.S. federal income (and certain state and local) purposes, future taxable income of Strike that is allocated to Continuing Members will be taxed on a flow-through basis and therefore will not be subject to corporate taxes at the entity level. Additionally, because Continuing Members may exchange their Company Units for shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock or, at our option, for cash pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Up-C structure also provides Continuing

Members with potential liquidity that is not generally available to holders of non-publicly traded limited liability companies. See the sections entitled “The Business Combination Proposal” and “Description of Securities.”

Following the business combination, we will receive the same benefits as Continuing Members as a result of our ownership of Company Units in an entity treated as a partnership, or “passthrough” entity, for U.S. federal income (and certain state and local) purposes. As a result of our acquisition of equity interests of Strike from the Unit Sellers at Closing, and as additional Company Units are exchanged by Continuing Members for StrikeCo Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we will obtain a step-up in tax basis in a proportionate share of the Strike assets. This step-up in tax basis will provide us with certain tax benefits, such as future depreciation and amortization deductions that can reduce the taxable income allocable to us. We expect to enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement with Strike and each Unit Seller that will provide for the payment by us to the Unit Sellers of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that we actually realize (or in some cases are deemed to realize) as a result of (1) increases in tax basis resulting from the acquisition of Company Units and (2) certain other tax benefits attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For additional information see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal – Related Agreements – Tax Receivable Agreement.”

Q:	What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the business combination?

A total of $345,000,000, comprised of approximately $336,100,000 of the proceeds from the IPO, including approximately $12,075,000 of underwriters’ deferred discount, and $8,900,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the private placement warrants were placed in a trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. As of September 30, 2018, there were investments and cash held in the trust account of $348,956,985. These funds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of our initial business combination or the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete an initial business combination by November 7, 2019, although we may withdraw the interest earned on the funds held in the trust account to pay franchise and income taxes.

Q:	What happens if a substantial number of the public stockholders vote in favor of the business combination proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

Sentinel’s public stockholders may vote in favor of the business combination and exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the business combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public stockholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public stockholders.

However, the consummation of the business combination is conditioned upon, among others, approval by Sentinel’s stockholders of the Transaction Agreement and the business combination and Sentinel having sufficient cash available to pay the Minimum Cash Amount to the Sellers under the Transaction Agreement, which is expected to be approximately $124.4 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Transaction Agreement.

In addition, with fewer public shares and public stockholders, the trading market for StrikeCo Class A common stock may be less liquid than the market for shares of Sentinel common stock was prior to consummation of the business combination and StrikeCo may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. In addition, with less funds available from the trust account, the working capital infusion from the trust account into StrikeCo’s business will be reduced.

Q:	What conditions must be satisfied to complete the business combination?

A:	Unless waived by the parties to the Transaction Agreement, and subject to applicable law, the consummation of the business combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Transaction

Agreement including, among others, approval by Sentinel’s stockholders of the Transaction Agreement and the business combination and Sentinel having sufficient cash available to pay the Minimum Cash Amount to the Sellers under the Transaction Agreement, which is expected to be approximately $124.4 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Transaction Agreement. Unless waived, if any of these conditions are not satisfied, the business combination may not be consummated. Furthermore, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. See “The Business Combination Proposal — The Transaction Agreement.”

Q:	What happens if the business combination is not consummated?

If we are not able to complete the business combination with Strike or another initial business combination by November 7, 2019, we will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeeming our public shares and liquidating the trust account, in which case our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and our warrants will expire worthless.

Q:	When do you expect the business combination to be completed?

It is currently anticipated that the business combination will be consummated as soon as practicable following the Sentinel special meeting, which is set for February 5, 2019; however, such meeting could be adjourned if the adjournment proposal is adopted by our stockholders at the special meeting and we elect to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, each of the condition precedent proposals has not been approved. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the business combination, see “The Transaction Agreement — Conditions to the Closing of the Business Combination.”

Q:	What proposals are stockholders being asked to vote upon?

Under the Transaction Agreement, the approval of the business combination proposal, the charter proposals, the stock issuance proposal and the incentive award plan proposal (which we sometimes refer to as the “condition precedent proposals”) are conditions to the consummation of the business combination. If our public stockholders do not approve each of the condition precedent proposals, then the business combination may not be consummated.

The stockholders are also being asked to elect Jon A. Marshall as a member of StrikeCo’s board of directors. Pursuant to the Sentinel Charter, until the closing of our business combination, only holders of shares of Sentinel Class B common stock have a right to vote on the election of directors. Therefore, only holders of shares of Sentinel Class B common stock will vote on the director election proposal.

In addition to the foregoing proposals, the stockholders also may be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if (1) based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, each of the condition precedent proposals has not been approved and/or (2) Sentinel determines that one or more of the closing conditions under the Transaction Agreement has not been satisfied. See “The Adjournment Proposal.”

Sentinel will hold the special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement contains important information about the business combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the special meeting. Stockholders should read it carefully.

After careful consideration, Sentinel’s board of directors has determined that the business combination proposal, each of the charter proposals, the stock issuance proposal, the director election proposal, the incentive award plan proposal and the adjournment proposal are in the best interests of Sentinel and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.

THE VOTE OF STOCKHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO SUBMIT THEIR PROXIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Q:	What material negative factors did Sentinel’s board of directors consider in connection with the business combination?

Although the Sentinel board of directors believes that the acquisition of Strike will provide Sentinel stockholders with an opportunity to participate in a combined company with significant growth potential, market share and iconic brands, the board of directors did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion, such as the risk that stockholders would not approve the business combination and the risk that a significant number of stockholders would exercise their redemption rights. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled“The Business Combination Proposal — Sentinel’s Board of Director’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination,” as well as in the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Strike’s Business and Industry.”

Q:	Do I have redemption rights?

If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to request that Sentinel redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement. Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the business combination proposal. We sometimes refer to these rights to elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares into a pro rata portion of the cash held in the trust account as “redemption rights.” If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the next question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Our initial stockholders entered into insider letter agreements, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of a business combination.

The consummation of the business combination is conditioned upon, among others, approval by Sentinel’s stockholders of the Transaction Agreement and the business combination and Sentinel having sufficient cash available to pay the Minimum Cash Amount to the Sellers under the Transaction Agreement, which is expected to be approximately $124.4 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Transaction Agreement. Unless waived, if any of these conditions are not satisfied, the business combination may not be consummated. Furthermore, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. See “The Business Combination Proposal — The Transaction Agreement.”

Q:	How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:	If you are a holder of public shares and wish to exercise your right to redeem your public shares, you must:

(i)

(a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(ii)

prior to 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on February 1, 2019 (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sentinel’s transfer agent (the “transfer agent”), that StrikeCo redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

The address of the transfer agent is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Any holder of public shares will be entitled to request that their public shares be redeemed for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay franchise and income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. For illustrative purposes, as of December 31, 2018, this would have amounted to approximately $10.15 per public share. However, the proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public stockholders, regardless of whether such public stockholders vote for or against the business combination proposal. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any proposal other than the business combination proposal will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights. It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to public stockholders electing to redeem their public shares will be distributed promptly after the consummation of the business combination.

If you are a holder of public shares, you may exercise your redemption rights by submitting your request in writing to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sentinel’s transfer agent, at the address listed at the end of this section.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the business combination proposal at the special meeting and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. If you deliver your shares for redemption to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sentinel’s transfer agent, and later decide prior to the special meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that Sentinel instruct its transfer agent to return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sentinel’s transfer agent, at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by Sentinel’s secretary prior to the vote taken on the business combination proposal at the special meeting. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sentinel’s transfer agent, by 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on February 1, 2019.

If a holder of public shares properly makes a request for redemption and the public shares are delivered as described above, then, if the business combination is consummated, StrikeCo will redeem public shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination.

If you are a holder of public shares and you exercise your redemption rights, it will not result in the loss of any Sentinel warrants that you may hold.

Q:	If I am a holder of units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units?

No. Holders of outstanding units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. No fractional public warrants will be issued upon separation of the units. If you hold your units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if you hold units registered in your own name, you must contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sentinel’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. If you fail to cause your public shares to be separated and delivered to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sentinel’s transfer agent, by 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on February 1, 2019 you will not be able to exercise your redemption rights with respect to your public shares.

Q:	What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

Whether the redemption is subject to U.S. federal income tax depends on the particular facts and circumstances. Please see the section entitled“The Business Combination Proposal — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” We urge you to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights.

Q:	Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the proposed business combination?

A:	No. Neither Sentinel stockholders nor Sentinel warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the business combination under the DGCL.

Q:	What do I need to do now?

Sentinel urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement, including the annexes, and to consider how the business combination will affect you as a stockholder and/or warrant holder of Sentinel. Stockholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q:	How do I vote?

If you are a holder of record of shares of Sentinel common stock on the record date, you may vote in person at the special meeting or by submitting a proxy for the special meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the special meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q:	If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this proxy statement may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to

vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will not be counted for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum or for purposes of determining the number of votes cast at the special meeting. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q:	When and where will the special meeting be held?

A:	The special meeting will be held at the offices of Winston & Strawn LLP, at 2121 North Pearl Street, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75201 on February 5, 2019, at 10:00 a.m., Central Time, unless the special meeting is adjourned.

Q:	Who is entitled to vote at the special meeting?

Sentinel has fixed January 14, 2019 as the record date. If you were a stockholder of Sentinel at the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to vote on matters that come before the special meeting. However, a stockholder may only vote his or her shares if he or she is present in person or is represented by proxy at the special meeting.

Q:	How many votes do I have?

Sentinel stockholders are entitled to one vote at the special meeting for each share of common stock held of record as of the record date. As of the close of business on the record date, there were outstanding 43,125,000 shares of Sentinel common stock, of which 34,500,000 were outstanding public shares.

Q:	What constitutes a quorum?

A quorum of Sentinel stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the special meeting constitutes a quorum at the special meeting. In the absence of a quorum, the chairperson of the special meeting has the power to adjourn the special meeting. As of the record date for the special meeting, 21,562,501 shares of Sentinel common stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q:	What vote is required to approve each proposal at the special meeting?

A:	The following votes are required for each proposal at the special meeting:

•

Business combination proposal: The approval of the business combination proposal requires the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of shares of Sentinel common stock who, being present and entitled to vote at the special meeting to approve the business combination proposal, vote at the special meeting.

•

Charter proposals: The approval of each of charter proposal A and C requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Sentinel common stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting. Approval of charter proposal B requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Sentinel common stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting.

•

Stock issuance proposal: The approval of the stock issuance proposal requires the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the shares of Sentinel common stock who, being present and entitled to vote at the special meeting to approve the stock issuance proposal, vote at the special meeting.

•

Director election proposal: Pursuant to the Sentinel Charter, until the closing of our business combination, only holders of shares of Sentinel Class B common stock have a right to vote on the

election of directors. Therefore, only holders of shares of Sentinel Class B common stock will vote on the director election proposal. The election of the director nominee pursuant to the director election proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the outstanding shares of Sentinel Class B common stock who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting on the election of directors, vote at the special meeting.

•

Incentive award plan proposal: The approval of the incentive award plan proposal requires the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the shares of Sentinel common stock who, being present and entitled to vote at the special meeting to approve the incentive award plan proposal, vote at the special meeting.

•

Adjournment proposal: The approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the shares of Sentinel common stock who, being present and entitled to vote at the special meeting to approve the adjournment proposal, vote at the special meeting.

Q:	What are the recommendations of Sentinel’s board of directors?

Sentinel’s board of directors believes that the business combination proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the special meeting are in the best interest of Sentinel’s stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” the business combination proposal, “FOR” each of the separate charter proposals, “FOR” the stock issuance proposal, “FOR” the director nominee set forth in the director election proposal, “FOR” the incentive award plan proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal, in each case, if presented to the special meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of Sentinel’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of Sentinel and its stockholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. These conflicts of interest include, among others, that if we do not consummate an initial business combination by November 7, 2019, we may be forced to liquidate and the 8,625,000 founder shares and 5,933,333 private placement warrants owned by our initial stockholders would be worthless. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

Q:	How do our Sponsor and the other initial stockholders intend to vote their shares?

Pursuant to the terms of the Voting and Support Agreement, our initial stockholders and Charles S. Leykum agreed to vote their founder shares, as well as any public shares purchased by them, in favor of the business combination proposal and for all other proposals presented to Sentinel’s stockholders in this proxy statement. As of the date of this proxy statement, our initial stockholders own an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of Sentinel common stock, which in the aggregate represents 20% of our total outstanding shares on the date of this proxy statement.

Q:	May our Sponsor and the other initial stockholders purchase public shares or warrants prior to the special meeting?

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Sentinel or its securities, our initial stockholders, Strike and/or its affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Sentinel common stock or vote their shares in favor of the business combination proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that (1) the proposals presented to stockholders for approval at the special meeting are approved and/or (2) that Sentinel satisfy the minimum cash condition. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of

the business combination. This may result in the completion of our business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on shares of Sentinel common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the business combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the special meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. As of the date of this proxy statement, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Sentinel will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the special meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Q:	What happens if I sell my shares of Sentinel common stock before the special meeting?

The record date for the special meeting is earlier than the date of the special meeting and earlier than the date that the business combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares of Sentinel common stock after the applicable record date, but before the special meeting, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at such special meeting.

Q:	May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

Yes. Stockholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Sentinel’s secretary at the address set forth below so that it is received by Sentinel’s secretary prior to the vote at the special meeting (which is scheduled to take place on February 5, 2019) or attend the special meeting in person and vote. Stockholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Sentinel’s secretary, which must be received by Sentinel’s secretary prior to the vote at the special meeting. However, if your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.

Q:	What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the special meeting?

If you fail to take any action with respect to the special meeting and the business combination is approved by stockholders and consummated, you will become a stockholder and/or warrant holder of StrikeCo. If you fail to take any action with respect to the special meeting and the business combination is not approved, you will remain a stockholder and/or warrant holder of Sentinel. However, if you fail to take any action with respect to the special meeting, you will nonetheless be able to elect to redeem your public shares in connection with the business combination, provided you follow the instructions in this proxy statement for redeeming your shares.

Q:	What should I do with my stock certificates, warrant certificates and/or unit certificates?

A:	Sentinel stockholders who exercise their redemption rights must deliver their stock certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sentinel’s transfer agent, (either physically or electronically) prior to 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on February 1, 2019.

Sentinel warrant holders should not submit the certificates relating to their warrants. Public stockholders who do not elect to have their public shares redeemed for the pro rata share of the trust account should not submit the certificates relating to their public shares.

Upon effectiveness of the business combination, holders of Sentinel units, common stock and warrants will receive units, Class A common stock and warrants of StrikeCo without needing to take any action and accordingly such holders should not submit the certificates relating to their units, common stock and warrants. In addition, before the Closing, each outstanding unit of StrikeCo (each of which consists of one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock and one-third of one warrant to purchase one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock) will be separated into its component Class A common stock and warrants.

Q:	What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares of Sentinel common stock.

Q:	Who can help answer my questions?

A:	If you have questions about the business combination or if you need additional copies of the proxy statement, any document incorporated by reference herein or the enclosed proxy card you should contact:

Summary of the Transaction Agreement

The Transaction Agreement provides for, among other things, (1) the merger of Blocker Merger Sub with and into Blocker, with Blocker continuing as the surviving entity, immediately followed by the merger of Blocker with and into Sentinel, with Sentinel continuing as the surviving entity, (2) the purchase by Sentinel of certain of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike from certain Unit Sellers for cash, with the Continuing Members retaining the remaining issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike, and each such Continuing Member receiving a number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock equal to the number of Company Units retained by such Continuing Member, (3) the contribution by Sentinel to Strike of all remaining cash held by Sentinel, and (4) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

In connection with the business combination, assuming no redemptions by public stockholders, Sentinel is expected to acquire approximately 72% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike from the Unit Sellers, with those Unit Sellers who elected to retain certain of their Company Units instead of receiving all cash consideration (the “Continuing Members”) expected to retain the remaining approximately 28% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike (such retained equity interests, the “Retained Company Units”). Prior to the Closing, the equity interests in Strike (referred to as “Company Units”) will be held by the Unit Sellers and indirectly by the Blocker Seller.

For additional information about the Transaction Agreement and the business combination and other transactions contemplated thereby, see “The Business Combination Proposal — The Transaction Agreement.”

Business Combination Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, Sentinel has agreed to pay to the Sellers approximately $124.4 million in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and issue to the Sellers an aggregate of approximately 30.6 million shares of StrikeCo common stock, with Blocker Seller receiving a portion of such cash and shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock, the Unit Sellers who have elected to sell all of their Company Units receiving cash and the Continuing Members receiving cash and/or a number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock equal to the number of Retained Company Units held by them, in each case as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement. Each Retained Company Unit, together with one share of StrikeCo Class B common stock, will be exchangeable in the future, subject to certain conditions, for either one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock or, at our election, the cash equivalent to the market value of one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Exchange Agreement. The Cash Consideration is expected to be funded from the following sources: (1) proceeds available from the trust account, after giving effect to any and all redemptions; and (2) proceeds from a private placement of 13,200,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock at $10.00 per share, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (the “Equity Offering”).

Related Agreements

Exchange Agreement

At the Closing, StrikeCo, Strike and the Continuing Members will enter into the Exchange Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex E to this proxy statement. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Continuing Members and such other Strike Unitholders from time to time party thereto will be entitled to exchange any or all of the Retained Company Units held by them, and surrender an equal number of shares of StrikeCo’s Class B common stock for cancellation, in exchange for, at the option of StrikeCo, a number of shares of StrikeCo’s Class A common stock or the cash equivalent of such shares.

At the Closing, StrikeCo will enter into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the Blocker Seller and the Continuing Members (collectively and together with Blocker Seller, the “Investors”) and OEP-Strike Seller Representative, LLC, in its capacity as representative of the Investors (the “Investors Representative”), substantially in the form attached as Annex F to this proxy statement.

Further, the Investor Rights Agreement provides that, so long as the Investors beneficially own on a continuous basis, in the aggregate, at least 15% in voting power of the then outstanding capital stock of StrikeCo entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, StrikeCo will permit a representative of the Investors selected by the Investors, acting through the Investors Representative, to attend any and all meetings of the StrikeCo board of directors, in a non-voting capacity and, in this respect, StrikeCo shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to its directors; provided that the representative agrees to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, StrikeCo, the Blocker Seller, the Continuing Members, the Sponsor and Marc Zenner and Jon A. Marshall, will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex G to this proxy statement, pursuant to which StrikeCo will have certain obligations to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), all of the shares of the (1) founder shares; (2) private placement warrants; (3) shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants; (4) shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock into which the Retained Company Units and StrikeCo Class B common stock may be exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement; (5) any

For more information on the Registration Rights Agreement, please see the section entitled“The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.”

Tax Receivable Agreement

At the Closing, StrikeCo, Strike, the Unit Sellers and the Seller Representative will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex H to this proxy statement. The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for the payment by StrikeCo to the Unit Sellers of 85% of the net cash savings in respect of such parties, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that StrikeCo actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of the utilization of certain tax attributes of StrikeCo. StrikeCo will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. The amount and timing of future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement is dependent upon a number of factors, which we cannot currently predict or estimate. We believe that the amount of these payments will be substantial. For more information on the Tax Receivable Agreement, please see the section entitled“The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

Lock-Up Agreements

Equity Ownership Upon Closing

As of the date of this proxy statement, there are 43,125,000 shares of Sentinel common stock outstanding, comprised of 34,500,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock and 8,625,000 shares of Sentinel Class B common stock, of which our Sponsor owns 8,550,000 shares of Sentinel Class B common stock and Marc Zenner and Jon A. Marshall own an aggregate of 75,000 shares of Sentinel Class B common stock. On the effective date of the business combination, each currently issued and outstanding share of Sentinel Class A common stock and Sentinel Class B common stock will convert into one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Sentinel Charter. StrikeCo will also issue shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock.

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the business combination, the ownership interests in StrikeCo will be as set forth in the table below.


	Assuming No Redemptions of Public Shares			Assuming Maximum Redemptions of Public Shares⁽¹⁾
Sentinel’s public stockholders		39	%		3	%
Initial Stockholders		10	%		15	%
CSL Energy		4	%		7	%
Fidelity Investors		12	%		20	%
Sellers		35	%		55	%

(1)	Assumes that holders of 32,632,412 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock exercise their redemption rights (maximum redemptions scenario based on $348,956,985 held in trust as of September 30, 2018 and a redemption price of approximately $10.12 per share).

The ownership percentages set forth above were calculated based on the amounts set forth in the sources and uses table on pages 39 and 114 of this proxy statement and do not take into account (a) public warrants and private placement warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the business combination and may be exercised thereafter (commencing 30 days after the closing of the business combination) or (b) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the business combination under the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement, but does include the founder shares, which, on the effective date of the business combination, will convert into one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Sentinel Charter. If the actual facts are different than the assumptions set forth above, the percentage ownership numbers set forth above will be different.

For more information, please see the section entitled“Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

whole warrant is exercised and one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock is issued as a result of such exercise, with payment to Sentinel of the exercise price of $11.50 per whole warrant for one whole share, our fully-diluted share capital would increase by a total of 17,433,333 shares, with approximately $200,483,330 paid to Sentinel to exercise the warrants.

Subject to certain limited exceptions, the founder shares will not be transferred, assigned or sold until the date that is one year after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination or earlier if, subsequent to our business combination, (1) the last sale price of our shares of Sentinel Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (2) we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Organizational Structure

The following diagram illustrates the ownership structure of StrikeCo immediately following the closing of the business combination. The equity interests shown in the diagram were calculated based on the amounts set forth in the sources and uses table on pages 39 and 114 of this proxy statement and are based on the assumptions that (i) no Sentinel stockholder has exercised its redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for their shares of Sentinel Class A common stock; (ii) none of the investors set forth in the chart below has purchased or purchases shares of Sentinel Class A common stock in the open market; (iii) 6,013,928 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are issued to the Blocker Seller pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, (iv) 2,200,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are issued to CSL Energy pursuant to the CSL Subscription Agreement; (v) 11,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are issued to the Fidelity Investors pursuant to the Fidelity Subscription Agreement, (vi) 1,800,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are issued to the Invacor Sellers pursuant to the Contribution Agreement; (vii) 24,550,760 shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock are issued to the Continuing Members pursuant to the Transaction Agreement; (vi) the founder shares convert on a one-for-one basis into an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ownership percentages set forth below do not take into account (a) public warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the business combination and may be exercised thereafter (commencing 30 days after the Closing) or (b) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the business combination under the Incentive Plan.

Proposals to be put to the Special meeting

The following is a summary of the proposals to be put to the special meeting.

The Business Combination Proposal

The Transaction Agreement provides for, among other things, (1) the merger of Blocker Merger Sub with and into Blocker, with Blocker continuing as the surviving entity, immediately followed by the merger of Blocker with and into Sentinel, with Sentinel continuing as the surviving entity, (2) the purchase by Sentinel of certain of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike from certain Unit Sellers for cash, with the Continuing Members retaining the remaining issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike and each such Continuing Member receiving a number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock equal to the number of Company Units retained by such Continuing Member, (3) the contribution by Sentinel to Strike of all remaining cash held by Sentinel, and (4) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

In connection with the business combination, assuming no redemptions by public stockholders, Sentinel is expected to acquire approximately 72%, of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike from the Unit Sellers, and the Continuing Members are expected to retain the remaining approximately 28% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike (such retained equity interests, the “Retained Company Units”). Prior to the Closing, the equity interests in Strike (referred to as “Company Units”) will be held by the Unit Sellers and indirectly by the Blocker Seller.

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Sentinel’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination,” Sentinel’s board of directors concluded that the business combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for its initial public offering, including that the business of Strike had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of execution of the Transaction Agreement.

If any proposal is not approved by Sentinel’s stockholders at the special meeting, the Sentinel board of directors may submit the adjournment proposal for a vote.

For additional information, see “The Business Combination Proposal” section of this proxy statement.

The Charter Proposals

If the business combination proposal is approved and the business combination is to be consummated, Sentinel will amend its current certificate of incorporation (the “Sentinel Charter”), with an amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Charter”) of StrikeCo, in each case, under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

The Proposed Charter differs in certain material respects from the Sentinel Charter and we urge stockholders to carefully consult the information set out in the Section “The Charter proposals” (including the chart of material differences included therein) and the full text of the Proposed Charter of StrikeCo, attached hereto as Annex C.

Sentinel’s stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon and to approve three separate proposals (collectively, the “charter proposals”) relating to StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter. The charter proposals are conditioned on the approval of the business combination proposal. Therefore, if the business combination proposal is not approved, the charter proposals will have no effect, even if approved by our public stockholders. A brief summary of each of the charter proposals is set forth below. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Charter of StrikeCo.

Charter Proposal A — Authorized Capital Stock

Assuming the business combination proposal is approved, our stockholders are also being asked to approve charter proposal A, which is, in the judgment of our board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of StrikeCo after the business combination. Under the Transaction Agreement, the approval of each of the charter proposals is a condition to the consummation of the business combination and therefore approval of this charter proposal A is a condition to the consummation of the business combination.

Charter proposal A is a proposal to approve the provision in the Proposed Charter increasing the authorized capital stock from 221,000,000 shares consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock of a par value of $0.0001 each, 20,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class B common stock of a par value of $0.0001 each and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock of a par value of $0.0001 each, to authorized capital stock of 451,000,000 shares, consisting of (x) 450,000,000 shares of common stock, including 400,000,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock, 50,000,000 shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock, and (y) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

For additional information, see “The Charter Proposals” section in this proxy statement.

Charter Proposal B — Declassification of the Board

Assuming the business combination proposal is approved, our stockholders are also being asked to approve charter proposal B, which is, in the judgment of our board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of StrikeCo after the business combination. Under the Transaction Agreement, the approval of each of the charter proposals is a condition to the consummation of the business combination and therefore approval of this charter proposal B is a condition to the consummation of the business combination.

Charter proposal B is a proposal to approve the provision in the Proposed Charter pursuant to which each member of StrikeCo’s board of directors will be elected annually at each annual meeting of stockholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof) following the Closing.

For additional information, see “The Charter Proposals” section in this proxy statement.

Charter Proposal C — Approval of Other Changes in Connection with Adoption of the Proposed Charter

Assuming the business combination proposal is approved, our stockholders are also being asked to approve charter proposal C, which is, in the judgment of our board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of StrikeCo after the business combination. Under the Transaction Agreement, the approval of each of the charter proposals is a condition to the consummation of the business combination and therefore approval of this charter proposal C is a condition to the consummation of the business combination.

Charter proposal C is a proposal to approve all other changes relating to StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter as part of the business combination, including (1) changing the post-business combination corporate name from “Sentinel Energy Services Inc.” to “Strike, Inc.” and making StrikeCo’s corporate existence perpetual and (2) removing certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company that will no longer apply upon consummation of the business combination, all of which Sentinel’s board of directors believe are necessary to adequately address the needs of StrikeCo after the business combination.

For additional information, see “The Charter Proposals” section of this proxy statement.

The Stock Issuance Proposal

Assuming the business combination proposal and each of the charter proposals are approved, our stockholders are also being asked to approve the stock issuance proposal.

Sentinel’s units, shares of common stock and public warrants are listed on Nasdaq and, as such, we are seeking stockholder approval of the issuance of (x) shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock to (1) the Blocker Seller at the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, (2) CSL Energy in the CSL Private Placement at the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the CSL Subscription Agreement, (3) the Fidelity Investors in the Fidelity Private Placement, pursuant to the terms of the Fidelity Subscription Agreement, (4) the Invacor Sellers, pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement and (5) to the Continuing Members who exchange the Company Units and an equal number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock, from time to time, held by them following the Closing, pursuant to and in accordance with, the terms of the Exchange Agreement, and (y) shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock to the Continuing Members, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, in order to comply with the applicable listing rules of Nasdaq.

The number of shares of StrikeCo common stock that may be issued in connection with the stock issuance proposal is expected to be approximately 21.0 million shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock and 24.6 million shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock.

For additional information, see “The Stock Issuance Proposal” section of this proxy statement.

The Director Election Proposal

Our board of directors is currently divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of our Class I director, Mr. Jon A. Marshall, will expire at the special meeting.

If charter proposal B is approved, our Proposed Charter will provide for the declassification of StrikeCo’s board of directors and StrikeCo’s board of directors will consist of one class of directors only, whose term will continue to the first annual meeting of stockholders following the date of the Closing, and, thereafter, all directors will be elected annually and will be elected for one year terms expiring at the next annual meeting of StrikeCo’s stockholders. If charter proposal B is not approved, our board of directors will remain classified.

Assuming charter proposal B is not approved and StrikeCo’s board of directors remains classified, Mr. Marshall, if elected, will serve on StrikeCo’s board of directors as a Class I director for a term of three years expiring at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. Assuming charter proposal B is approved and StrikeCo’s board of directors is declassified, Mr. Marshall, if elected, will serve on StrikeCo’s board of directors for a term expiring at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal.

For additional information, see “The Director Election Proposal” section of this proxy statement.

The Incentive Award Plan Proposal

Assuming the business combination proposal, each of the charter proposals and the stock issuance proposal are approved, our stockholders are also being asked to approve the incentive award plan proposal.

We expect that, prior to the consummation of the business combination, our board of directors will approve and adopt the Strike, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, referred to as the “Incentive Plan”, and assuming the business combination proposal, each of the charter proposals and the stock issuance proposal are approved, we expect that our stockholders will be asked to approve the Incentive Plan. Our stockholders should carefully read the entire Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex D, before voting on this proposal.

For additional information, see “The Incentive Award Plan Proposal” section of this proxy statement.

The Adjournment Proposal

If based on the tabulated vote, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to authorize Sentinel to consummate the business combination (because any of the condition precedent proposals have not been approved (including as a result of the failure of any other cross-conditioned condition precedent proposals to be approved)) or Sentinel determines that one or more of the closing conditions under the Transaction Agreement has not been satisfied, Sentinel’s board of directors may submit a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies.

For additional information, see “The Adjournment Proposal” section of this proxy statement.

Date, Time and Place of Special meeting of Sentinel’s Stockholders

The special meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on February 5, 2019, at the offices of Winston & Strawn LLP at 2121 North Pearl Street, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75201, to consider and vote upon the proposals to be put to the special meeting, including if necessary, the adjournment proposal.

Voting Power; Record Date

Stockholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting if they owned shares of Sentinel common stock at the close of business on January 14, 2019, which is the record date for the special meeting. Stockholders will have one vote for each share of common stock owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. Our warrants do not have voting rights. On the record date, there were 43,125,000 shares of Sentinel common stock outstanding, of which 34,500,000 were public shares, with the rest being held by our initial stockholders.

Quorum and Vote of Sentinel Stockholders

Our initial stockholders and our other officers and directors at the time of the IPO entered into letter agreements to vote their founder shares, as well as any public shares purchased during or after the IPO, in favor of the business combination proposal and for all other proposals presented to Sentinel’s stockholders in this proxy statement. As of the date hereof, our initial stockholders own 20.0% of our total outstanding common shares.

The proposals presented at the special meeting require the following votes:

•

Business combination proposal: The approval of the business combination proposal requires the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the shares of Sentinel common stock

who, being present and entitled to vote at the special meeting to approve the business combination proposal, vote at the special meeting.

•

Director election proposal: Pursuant to the Sentinel Charter, until the closing of our business combination, only holders of shares of Sentinel Class B common stock have a right to vote on the election of directors. Therefore, only holders of shares of Sentinel Class B common stock will vote on the director election proposal. The election of the director nominee pursuant to the director election proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the outstanding shares of Sentinel Class B common stock who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting on the election of directors, vote at the special meeting.

•

A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on any of the proposals other than the charter proposals. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the proposals except for the charter proposals. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person or an abstention from voting on any of the charter proposals will have the same effective as a vote “AGAINST” such charter proposal.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Sentinel Charter, a public stockholder may request that Sentinel redeem all or a portion of their public shares for cash if the business combination is consummated. You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)

(ii)

prior to 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on February 1, 2019 (a) submit a written request to the transfer agent that StrikeCo redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

As noted above, holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. No fractional public warrants will be issued upon

separation of the units. Holders may instruct their broker to do so, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct them to do so. Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the business combination proposal. If the business combination is not consummated, the public shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a public stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem its public shares and timely delivers its public shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sentinel’s transfer agent, Sentinel will redeem each share of Sentinel Class A common stock for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay franchise and income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until immediately prior to the vote on the proposed business combination and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivers its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Sentinel instruct its transfer agent to return the certificate (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement. See “Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

In order for public stockholders to exercise their redemption rights in respect of the proposed business combination, public stockholders must properly exercise their right to redeem the public shares they hold no later than the close of the vote on the business combination proposal and deliver their public shares (either physically or electronically) to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sentinel’s transfer agent, prior to 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on February 1, 2019. Immediately following the consummation of the business combination, StrikeCo shall satisfy the exercise of redemption rights by redeeming the public shares issued to the public stockholders that validly exercised their redemption rights.

Holders of our warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the warrants.

Appraisal Rights

Neither Sentinel stockholders nor Sentinel warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the business combination under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Sentinel has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the special meeting. A stockholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “Special meeting — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of Sentinel’s board of directors in favor of approval of the business combination proposal, you should keep in mind that Sentinel’s initial stockholders, including its directors and executive officers, and Strike’s current owners have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to those of Sentinel stockholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

•

the fact that our initial stockholders have waived their right to redeem any of the founder shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

•

if the trust account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third-party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

•

the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the business combination;

•

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Sentinel or its securities, the Sentinel initial stockholders, Strike and/or its affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Sentinel common stock or vote their shares in favor of the business combination proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that (1) the proposals presented to stockholders for approval at the special meeting are approved and/or (2) Sentinel has sufficient cash available to pay the Minimum Cash Amount. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the business combination. This may result in the completion of our business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options.

The existence of financial and personal interests of the Sentinel directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of them between what he may believe is best for Sentinel and what he may believe is best for him in determining whether or not to grant a waiver in a specific situation. See the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of this and other risks.

Recommendation to Stockholders

Conditions to the Closing of the Business Combination

Unless waived by the parties to the Transaction Agreement, and subject to applicable law, the consummation of the business combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement including, among others, approval by Sentinel’s stockholders of the Transaction Agreement and the business combination and Sentinel having sufficient cash available to pay the Minimum Cash Amount to the Sellers under the Transaction Agreement, which is expected to be approximately $124.4 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Transaction Agreement. For more information about conditions to the consummation of the business combination, see “The Business Combination Proposal — The Transaction Agreement — Conditions to the Closing of the Business Combination.”

Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination

The following table summarizes the sources and uses for funding the business combination. Where actual amounts are not known or knowable, the figures below represent Sentinel’s good faith estimate of such amounts assuming a closing date of February 1, 2019.

(1)	Cash held in the trust account as of September 30, 2018.

(2)	This amount excludes shares and units issued in connection with the Contribution Agreement.

(3)

This amount is based on Strike’s equity value of $430.0 million and the Continuing Members owning approximately $305.6 million of Strike’s residual equity value, after taking into account the payment by Sentinel of approximately $124.4 million to those Unit Sellers who choose to sell their equity interests in Strike for cash in connection with the Closing.

(4)

Assumes no adjustment for excess working capital is paid to the Unit Sellers and the estimated net debt of Strike on February 1, 2019 is $320 million. As of September 30, 2018, the net debt of Strike and the working capital adjustment would have resulted in (1) an estimated $154.6 million in cash consideration being paid to the Unit Sellers, (2) no cash to Strike’s balance sheet and (3) an estimated $299.9 million in repayment of debt.

(5)	Represents the estimated net debt as of February 1, 2019. For further information on Strike’s indebtedness as of September 30, 2018 see Note 10 to Strike’s unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements on page F-81.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The final determination of the accounting acquirer will depend on an assessment of factors at the time that the merger is consummated because the amount of redemptions will affect the extent to which Sentinel or Strike will be able to exercise control of the combined company. Depending on the ultimate number of redemptions as of the closing date, the merger will be accounted for as follows:

•

If Sentinel is determined to be the accounting acquirer, the merger will be accounted for as a business combination under the scope of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification 805,Business Combinations, or ASC 805. Pursuant to ASC 805, Sentinel could be considered the accounting acquirer based on the following indicators under certain redemption scenarios:

•

Sentinel pays cash and equity consideration for a majority of the members’ equity in Strike;

•

The board of directors will consist of seven directors. Sentinel has control of the chairmanship and the ability to appoint five of the seven board members; and

•

The existing stockholders of Sentinel will retain relatively more voting rights in the combined company than the historical Strike unitholders.

Under the acquisition method, the acquisition-date fair value of the gross consideration paid by Sentinel to affect the business combination will be allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Any excess purchase price after this allocation will be assigned to goodwill.

•

If Strike is determined to be the accounting acquirer, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded in accordance with GAAP. Consequently, Strike’s consolidated financial statements will become the historical financial statements of the registrant following consummation of the merger. Pursuant to ASC 805, Strike could be considered the accounting acquirer based on the following indicators under certain redemption scenarios:

•

Strike management will hold key senior management positions;

•

The historical Strike unitholders will hold the majority voting interest in the combined company; and

•

The board of directors are subject to annual election by majority vote, and Strike would have the ability to control the combined company through its voting interests and management.

Regulatory Matters

The business combination is not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirements or approvals, except for filings with the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the special meeting, a stockholder should carefully read this proxy statement and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Sources of Industry and Market Data

Where information has been sourced from a third party, the source of such information has been identified.

Unless otherwise indicated, the information contained in this proxy statement on the market environment, market developments, growth rates, market trends and competition in the markets in which Sentinel and Strike operate is taken from publicly available sources, including third-party sources, or reflects Sentinel’s, or Strike’s estimates that are principally based on information from publicly available sources.

Emerging Growth Company

Sentinel is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“SOX”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. Sentinel intends to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. This may make comparison of Sentinel’s financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Sentinel will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of its initial public offering, (b) in which it has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion (as adjusted for inflation pursuant to SEC rules from time to time), or (c) in which it is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of its shares of Sentinel Class A common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30^th, and (2) the date on which it has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. Upon the consummation of the business combination, StrikeCo will lose its status as an emerging growth company as a result of its year ended December 31, 2017 revenue exceeding $1.07 billion.

Sentinel and Strike considered this adjustment relevant in evaluating Strike’s financial results in connection with negotiating the business combination; however, Strike does not intend to present Further Adjusted EBITDA as part of its historical financial results following the consummation of the business combination.

RISK FACTORS

Stockholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement. These risks could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of StrikeCo and could adversely affect the trading price of its common stock.

Risks Relating to Strike’s Business and Industry

The markets for oil and gas have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile.

Prices for oil and natural gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, as well as market uncertainty and a variety of other factors that are beyond Strike’s control. Lower oil and natural gas prices generally lead to decreased spending by Strike’s customers. During times of lower prices, Strike’s customers may not have the ability to fund capital expenditures for planned projects. Strike’s customers may also be forced to cut back on discretionary spending and maintenance related projects. In addition, Strike’s customers may find it challenging or impossible to pay for services already performed by Strike. If a client fails to pay Strike on a timely basis or defaults in making payments on a project for which Strike has devoted significant resources, Strike may be required to make a working capital investment. Additionally, in some cases, Strike could experience a material decrease in profitability and liquidity if it chooses, or is required, to pay its subcontractors for work performed for customers that fail to pay, or delay paying, for the related work. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Strike’s results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

Higher oil and natural gas prices generally lead to increased spending by Strike’s customers. However, sustained high energy prices can also be an impediment to overall economic growth and can therefore negatively affect spending by Strike’s customers. Strike’s customers may also require higher returns for individual projects if there is higher perceived risk of price volatility. In addition, Strike’s vehicles and equipment are gasoline powered. An increase in gas prices may negatively affect Strike’s operating costs and lower margins. The price volatility of oil and gas could also make it difficult for Strike’s customers to estimate their demand for Strike’s services. Any factor resulting in a decrease in Strike’s customers spending on Strike’s services could have a material adverse effect on Strike’s results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

Future disruptions in the U.S. financial and credit markets or increases in the costs of capital could have an adverse effect on Strike’s business.

Future disruptions in the U.S. financial and credit markets or increases in the costs of capital could have an adverse effect on Strike’s business. Uncertain or adverse economic conditions that create volatility in the credit and equity markets could reduce the availability of debt or equity financing for Strike. In addition, if costs of capital were to increase significantly due to a lowering of Strike’s credit rating, prevailing industry conditions, the volatility of capital markets or other factors, Strike may be unable to obtain new financing on acceptable terms, or at all. An adverse event in Strike’s financial performance could limit its future ability to access amounts that may be available under its Amended ABL Credit Agreement and Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement (each as defined below) or even result in a default on outstanding indebtedness. Such defaults or unavailability of alternative funding could materially and adversely affect Strike’s results of operations, cash flows and liquidity as well as reputation.

A substantial portion of Strike’s revenues is dependent on successfully obtaining contracts through the bid process.

A substantial portion of Strike’s revenues is dependent on being awarded customers’ contracts through a bid process. Price is often the principal factor that determines who wins the bid, but other factors such as

governmental approvals, financing contingencies, commodity prices, environmental conditions, reputation, quality and overall market and economic conditions are also considered. Strike may not be successful due to, among other things, a potential customer’s perception of its ability to perform the work or the availability of certain crews for highly complex projects.

The competitive environment Strike operates in makes being awarded projects unpredictable. In addition, the bid process is often complex and involves lengthy negotiations and bidding processes. If Strike is unsuccessful in winning bids, or if the ability to win such projects requires the acceptance of lower margins, Strike’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

Strike’s business faces significant competition in the markets it serves.

Strike’s business competes with other companies in the markets in which it operates, including numerous small, owner-operated private companies servicing local markets and some public companies and several large regional companies servicing regional and national markets. Strike also faces competition from existing and prospective customers that employ in-house personnel to perform some of the services Strike provides. Relatively few barriers prevent entry into the markets in which Strike operates, and as a result, any organization that has adequate financial resources and access to technical expertise may become one of Strike’s competitors.

Some of Strike’s competitors have significant financial, technical and marketing resources. Strike cannot be certain that its competitors do not have or will not develop the expertise, experience and resources to provide services that are superior in both price and quality to Strike’s services. In addition, certain of Strike’s competitors may have lower overhead cost structures, and therefore may be able to provide the desired services at lower rates than Strike.

Some of the markets for Strike’s services and products are characterized by continual technological developments to provide better and more reliable performance and services. Unlike some of its competitors, Strike may not be able to design, develop and produce commercially competitive products or to implement such services in a timely manner in response to changes in the market, customer requirements or technology trends. A failure to keep up with competitors may result in Strike’s inability to maintain its competitive position within the industry or maintain its current customer base.

The failure to properly manage projects or project delays could result in additional costs or claims, which could have a material adverse effect on Strike’s operating results, cash flows and liquidity.

Several of Strike’s engagements involve large-scale, complex projects involving the construction of major pipelines and major facilities over extended time periods. The success and benefits of these projects depend in large part on Strike’s ability to manage its client relationships and manage the project itself. To properly manage a project, Strike must timely deploy appropriate resources, including third-party contracts and subcontractors as well as its own personnel. For example, Strike maintains a workforce based upon current and anticipated workloads. Strike could incur significant costs and reduced profitability from underutilization of its workforce if its projects are delayed, or not awarded, or if there is a significant reduction in the level of services it provides. In addition, Strike could incur significant costs or fail to meet deadlines if it underestimates the workforce needed for a particular project. Strike’s results of operations, cash flows and liquidity could be adversely affected if it miscalculates the resources or time needed to complete a project.

Strike may also recognize adverse effect due to operational delays. These operational delays could include delays on a particular project due to local opposition, including political and social activism, injunctive actions or public protests related to the siting of oil, natural gas, or other facilities. Such operational delays could adversely affect Strike’s project margins. These operational delays could also include delays in designs, engineering information or materials provided by the customer or a third party, delays or difficulties in equipment and material delivery, schedule changes, delays from a customer’s failure to timely obtain permits or rights-of-way or

to meet other requirements, delays by subcontractors in completing their portion of the project and other factors, some of which are beyond Strike’s control. These operational delays may result in cancellations or deferrals of project work, which could lead to a decline in revenue, or, for project deferrals, which could cause Strike to incur costs for standby pay, and could lead to personnel shortages on other projects scheduled to commence at a later date.

Strike’s failure to properly manage projects may result in missed deadlines. A failure to meet deadlines may require Strike to share in cost overages or pay liquidated damages, which could adversely affect its results of operations, cash flows and liquidity. Further, any defects or errors, or failures to meet customers’ expectations, could result in large damage claims against Strike. Due to the substantial cost of, and potentially long lead-times necessary to acquire, certain of the materials and equipment used in Strike’s complex projects, damage claims could substantially exceed the amount Strike can charge for its associated services.

Strike recognizes revenue for certain projects using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting; therefore, variations of actual results from Strike’s assumptions could reduce its profitability.

Strike recognizes a portion of its revenue from fixed price contracts, as well as for certain projects pursuant to master and other service agreements, using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, under which the percentage of revenue to be recognized in a given period is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date on the contract to the total estimated costs for the contract. The percentage-of-completion method, therefore, relies on estimates of total expected contract costs. Contract revenue and total cost estimates are reviewed and revised on an ongoing basis as the work progresses. Adjustments arising from changes in the estimates of contract revenues or costs are reflected in the fiscal period in which such estimates are revised. Estimates are based on management’s reasonable assumptions, judgment and experience, but are subject to the risks inherent in estimates, including unanticipated delays or technical complications. Variances in actual results from related estimates on a large project, or on several smaller projects, could be material. The full amount of an estimated loss on a contract is recognized in the period that Strike’s estimates indicate such a loss. Such adjustments could result in reduced profitability, which could negatively affect Strike’s results of operations.

Strike’s failure to comply with the regulations of OSHA and other state and local agencies that oversee safety compliance could reduce Strike’s revenue, profitability and liquidity.

Some of Strike’s operations are inherently dangerous and subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to the maintenance of safe conditions in the workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended (the “Occupational Safety and Health Act”), establishes certain employer responsibilities, including maintenance of a workplace free of recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious injury, compliance with standards promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and various recordkeeping, disclosure and procedural requirements. Various standards, including standards for notices of hazards and safety in excavation and demolition work, may apply to Strike’s operations. Strike has taken and will continue to take steps, including capital and operating expenditures, to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act and other state and local laws and regulations. Failure to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act and other state and local laws and regulations could result in penalties and fines in the future, including, in extreme cases, criminal sanctions for failure to comply.

Amounts included in Strike’s backlog may not result in actual revenue or translate into profits. Strike’s backlog is subject to cancellation and unexpected adjustments and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of future operating results.

also includes eighteen months of projected revenue related to master service agreements or other service contracts, none of which require Strike’s customers to purchase a minimum amount of services and are cancelable on short notice or no advance notice. Backlog amounts are determined based on estimates that incorporate historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts, experience from similar projects and customer communications. These estimates may prove inaccurate, which could cause estimated revenue to be realized in periods later than originally expected, or not at all. In the past, Strike has occasionally experienced postponements, cancellations and reductions in expected future work due to market volatility, regulatory changes, changes in Strike’s customers’ spending plans or other factors. There can be no assurance as to the accuracy of the estimates. As a result, Strike’s backlog as of any particular date is an uncertain indicator of future revenue and earnings. In addition, contracts included in backlog may not be profitable. If backlog fails to materialize, Strike’s results of operations, cash flows and liquidity would be materially and adversely affected.

Strike derives a significant portion of its revenue from master service agreements and other long-term contracts that may be canceled on short notice or no advance notice by its customers and do not guarantee a specific quantity of work.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, Strike derived approximately 44.5% of its revenue from master service agreements or other long-term service contracts. The majority of these contracts are cancelable at the option of Strike’s customers with relatively short notice or no advance notice. In addition, Strike’s customers generally have no obligation to provide Strike with a minimum amount of work under these agreements. This makes estimating expenditures by customers difficult as work is not assured until a definitive work order is placed with Strike and the work completed. Furthermore, Strike’s customers generally require competitive bidding of these contracts upon expiration of their terms. Strike may not be able to renew a contract if its competitors reduce their prices and underbid to procure business. Failure to renew these contracts could reduce Strike’s profitability and cash flows.

Strike’s business may be affected by difficult work sites and environments and adverse weather conditions, which could cause delays and/or increase its costs and reduce profitability.

Strike conducts its operations in challenging and hard to reach terrain and difficult site conditions where delivery of materials and availability of labor may be affected. In addition, Strike’s operations may be materially affected by adverse weather conditions in areas where it operates. Severe weather, such as hurricanes, high winds and seas, blizzards, flooding, heavy rainfall and extreme temperatures may cause the evacuation of personnel, curtailment of services, suspension of operations, inability to deliver materials to jobsites in accordance with contract schedules, loss of or damage to equipment and facilities and reduced productivity. Weather changes can materially change work site conditions after initial inspection and bid submittal. In addition, variations from normal weather patterns can have a significant impact on the demand for oil and natural gas, thereby reducing demand for Strike’s services and equipment.

Performing operations in such conditions can result in project delays or cancellations, potentially causing Strike to incur additional unanticipated costs, reductions in revenue or the payment of liquidated damages. In some cases, delays and additional costs may be substantial, and Strike may be required to cancel a project and/or compensate the customer for the delay. Strike may not be able to recover any such costs. Any such delays or cancellations or errors or other failures to meet customer expectations could result in damage claims substantially in excess of the revenue associated with a project. Delays or cancellations could also negatively affect Strike’s reputation or relationships with its customers, which could adversely affect its ability to secure new contracts.

Acquisitions involve risks that could negatively affect Strike’s operating results, cash flows and liquidity.

Strike has made, and in the future may continue to make, strategic acquisitions and investments. Strike tries to evaluate companies that it believes will strategically fit into its business and growth objectives. For example, in December 2016, Strike acquired Crossfire, LLC (“Crossfire”), making Strike one of the largest service

providers in the Permian Basin and solidifying its presence in the Four Corners and Rocky Mountain regions. If Strike is unable to successfully integrate and develop acquired businesses it could fail to achieve anticipated synergies and cost savings, including any expected increases in revenues and operating results, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial results.

Strike may not be able to identify suitable acquisition or strategic investment opportunities, or may be unable to obtain the required consent of its lenders and, therefore, may not be able to complete such acquisitions or strategic investments. Strike may incur expenses associated with sourcing, evaluating and negotiating acquisitions (including those that do not get completed), and Strike may also pay fees and expenses associated with financing acquisitions to investment banks and other advisors. Any of these amounts may be substantial, and together with the size, timing and number of acquisitions Strike pursues, may negatively affect and cause significant volatility in its financial results.

In addition, Strike has assumed, and may in the future assume, liabilities of the company it is acquiring. While Strike retains third-party advisors to consult on potential liabilities related to these acquisitions, there can be no assurances that all potential liabilities will be identified or known to Strike. If there are unknown liabilities or other obligations, Strike’s business could be materially affected.

Certain adverse conditions may require, and future conditions might require, Strike to make substantial write-downs in its assets, which would adversely affect Strike’s balance sheet and results of operations.

Strike reviews its long-lived tangible and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Strike also tests its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually on December 31, or when events or changes in the business environment indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. Based on those results, no impairments were recorded to Strike’s goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. If conditions in any of the businesses in which Strike competes were to deteriorate, it could determine that certain of its assets were impaired, and it would then be required to write-off all or a portion of its costs for such assets. Any significant write-offs would adversely affect Strike’s balance sheet and results of operations.

Legal or other administrative proceedings could have a material adverse effect on Strike’s operations or results of operations.

In the ordinary course of Strike’s business, it is involved in various legal and other administrative proceedings involving claims arising from its operations. A significant adverse result, or multiple adverse results involving similar issues, could require Strike to pay significant amounts or to change the manner in which it does business, which could have a material adverse effect on its operations or results of operations.

Strike’s failure to comply with laws and regulations regarding health, safety and protection of the environment could result in significant liabilities or harm its reputation.

Strike’s operations are subject to stringent laws and regulations relating to protection of natural resources, clean air, drinking water, wetlands, endangered species, greenhouse gases, the environment, health and safety, chemical use and storage, waste management, and transportation of hazardous and non-hazardous materials. These laws and regulations subject Strike to risks of environmental liability. Some environmental laws and regulations may impose strict liability, joint and several liability or both. Strict liability means that Strike could be exposed to liability as a result of Strike’s conduct that was lawful at the time it occurred, or the conduct of or conditions caused by third parties without regard to whether Strike caused or contributed to the conditions. Sanctions for noncompliance with environmental laws and regulations could result in fines and penalties (administrative, civil or criminal), revocations of permits, expenditures for remediation, and issuance of corrective action orders, and actions arising under these laws and regulations could result in liability for property damage, exposure to waste and other hazardous materials, nuisance or personal injuries. Such claims or sanctions

could cause Strike to incur substantial costs or losses and could have a material adverse effect on Strike’s business, financial condition, reputation, and results of operations.

Existing or future laws and regulations related to greenhouse gases and climate change could have a negative effect on Strike’s business and may result in additional compliance obligations with respect to the release, capture, and use of carbon dioxide that could have a material adverse effect on Strike’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Changes in environmental requirements related to greenhouse gases and climate change may negatively affect demand for Strike’s services. For example, oil and natural gas exploration and production may decline as a result of environmental requirements, including land use policies responsive to environmental concerns. Local, state, and federal agencies have been evaluating climate-related legislation and other regulatory initiatives that would restrict emissions of greenhouse gases in areas in which Strike conducts business. Because a portion of Strike’s business depends on the level of activity in the oil and natural gas industry, existing or future laws and regulations related to greenhouse gases and climate change, including incentives to conserve energy or use alternative energy sources, could have a negative effect on Strike’s business if such laws or regulations reduce demand for oil and natural gas. Likewise, such restrictions may result in additional compliance obligations with respect to the release, capture, sequestration, and use of carbon dioxide or other gases that could have a material adverse effect on Strike’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Strike’s customers face stringent regulatory and environmental requirements and permitting processes that could result in delays and/or cancellations of current or planned future projects that could materially and adversely affect Strike.

Many of Strike’s customers face stringent regulatory and environmental requirements and permitting processes, including governmental regulations and policies pertaining to the exportation, exploration, production, development and transportation of oil and natural gas, as well as environmental laws, climate change initiatives, and effects of political or social activism. Failure on the part of Strike’s customers to properly navigate the regulatory and environmental requirements could result in delays and/or cancellations of current or planned future projects. Furthermore, environmental laws applicable to Strike’s customers, including laws regulating the energy industry, and the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, are constantly evolving, making it difficult to predict the effect changes in these environmental laws, or their interpretation, may have upon current or planned future projects. In addition, there may be additional unforeseen factors affecting Strike’s customers such as government shutdowns or understaffing at applicable state and federal agencies that could result in unforeseen delays despite compliance with these environmental and regulatory laws. A delay or cancellation could materially and adversely affect Strike’s results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

Strike may be unable to employ a sufficient number of key employees, technical personnel and other skilled or qualified workers.

The delivery of Strike’s services and products require personnel with specialized skills and experience who can perform labor intensive and physically demanding work. At times of low unemployment in the areas Strike serves, it can be difficult for Strike to find qualified and affordable personnel. As a result of the volatility in the markets in which Strike operates and the demanding nature of the work, workers may choose to pursue employment with Strike’s competitors or in fields that offer a more desirable work environment. Strike’s ability to be productive and profitable will depend upon its ability to employ and retain skilled workers. In addition, its ability to further expand its operations according to geographic demand for its services depends in part on its ability to relocate or increase the size of its skilled labor force. The demand for skilled workers in Strike’s areas of operations can be high, the supply may be limited and Strike may be unable to relocate its employees from areas of lower utilization to areas of higher demand. A significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of Strike’s skilled labor force, increases in the wage rates that Strike must pay, or both. Furthermore, a significant decrease in the wages paid by Strike or its competitors as a result of

reduced industry demand could result in a reduction of the available skilled labor force, and there is no assurance that the availability of skilled labor will improve following a subsequent increase in demand for Strike’s services or an increase in wage rates. If any of these events were to occur, Strike’s capacity and profitability could be diminished and its growth potential could be impaired.

Strike also depends heavily on the efforts of executive officers, managers and other key employees to manage its operations. The unexpected loss or unavailability of key members of management or technical personnel may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, prospects, or results of operations.

Failure to maintain relationships with Strike’s subcontractors or failure of Strike’s subcontractors to satisfy their obligations may have a material adverse effect on Strike’s results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

Strike employs subcontractors at various locations to perform work on some of its projects. The use of subcontractors decreases Strike’s control over the performance and quality of work. There is also a risk that Strike may have disputes with subcontractors arising from, among other things, the quality and timeliness of the work they perform. These risks could adversely affect Strike’s profitability and business reputation. In addition, the absence of qualified subcontractors with whom Strike has satisfactory relationships could adversely affect Strike’s ability to perform under some of its contracts, or the quality of the services it provides.

Strike may be subject to risks relating to its information technology systems.

Strike relies on information technology systems to process, transmit and store electronic information and manage and operate its business. A breach in cyber security could expose Strike, its customers, its suppliers and its employees to risks of misuse of confidential information. A breach could also result in manipulation and destruction of data, production downtimes and operations disruptions, which in turn could adversely affect Strike’s reputation, competitive position, business or results of operations. The costs related to cyber or other security threats or disruptions may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means.

In addition, from time to time Strike may implement new technology systems or replace and/or upgrade its current information technology systems. These upgrades or replacements may not improve Strike’s productivity to the levels anticipated and may subject it to inherent costs and risks associated with implementing, replacing and updating these systems, including potential disruption of Strike’s internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, demands on management’s time and other risks of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems or of integrating new systems into other existing systems. Strike’s inability to prevent information technology system disruptions or to mitigate the impact of such disruptions could have an adverse effect on Strike.

Strike’s business is subject to physical hazards that could result in substantial liabilities and weaken its financial condition.

Strike’s operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil and gas industry that may lead to property damage, personal injury, death or discharge of hazardous materials into the environment. Many of these events are outside Strike’s control. Construction projects undertaken by Strike expose its employees to pipelines carrying potentially explosive or toxic materials, heavy equipment, mechanical failures, transportation accidents, adverse weather conditions and the risk of damage to equipment and property. If serious accidents or fatalities occur, or if Strike’s safety records were to deteriorate, Strike may be restricted from bidding on certain work and obtaining new contracts and certain existing contracts could be terminated. In addition, the occurrence of accidents in Strike’s business could result in significant liabilities, employee turnover, increase the costs of Strike’s projects, or harm Strike’s ability to perform under its contracts or enter into new customer contracts, all of which could materially adversely affect Strike’s revenue, profitability and liquidity.

Indemnification obligations may increase Strike’s overall risk exposure as well as disrupt its operations. In addition, indemnification obtained by Strike may not cover all of its costs owed.

Some of Strike’s contracts require that it assume the environmental risk of site conditions and require that it indemnify its customers for any damages, including environmental damages, or bodily injury incurred in connection with its projects. In addition, Strike generally indemnifies its customers for claims related to the services it provides and actions it takes under contracts. Indemnification obligations may increase Strike’s overall risk exposure as well as disrupt its operations in the event an indemnification obligation arises.

In certain instances, Strike has obtained indemnification or covenants from third parties (including predecessors or lessors) for such clean-up and other obligations and liabilities. However, such third-party indemnities or covenants may not cover all of Strike’s costs and the indemnitors may not pay amounts owed to Strike, and such unanticipated obligations or liabilities, or future obligations and liabilities, may have a material adverse effect on Strike’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Recently enacted comprehensive U.S. tax reform legislation may adversely affect Strike.

On December 22, 2017, the legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”) was signed into law, making substantial changes to U.S. tax law, including a reduction in the corporate tax rate, a limitation on deductibility of interest expense, a limitation on the use of net operating losses to offset future taxable income, the allowance of immediate expensing of capital expenditures, and deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. Strike expects this legislation to have significant effects on it, some of which may be adverse. The magnitude of the net impact remains uncertain at this time and is subject to any other regulatory or administrative developments, including any regulations or other guidance promulgated by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”).

Strike depends on particular suppliers and is vulnerable to product shortages and price increases.

Some of the materials that Strike uses in its operations are obtained from a limited number of suppliers. Strike’s reliance on these suppliers involves several risks, including price increases, inferior quality and a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply in a timely manner. Strike does not have long-term contracts with most of these sources, and the partial or complete loss of certain of these sources could have a negative effect on its results of operations and could damage its customer relationships. Further, a significant increase in the price of one or more of these materials could have a negative impact on Strike’s results of operations. While Strike believes it can increase its prices to adjust for some price increases in commodities, there can be no assurance that price increases of commodities, if they were to occur, would be recoverable.

Strike depends on a core group of customers.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, Strike recognized contract revenue from two customers totaling approximately $701.6 million, or 50% of total contract revenues. If one or both of these customers experience a prolonged period of adverse demand, depressed business activity or financial distress, or if either of these customers breaches or seeks relief from its contractual obligations under its agreements with Strike or if any of these customer relationships otherwise end or materially deteriorate and such lost business is not successfully replaced, Strike’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Substantial defaults by Strike’s customers on its accounts receivable could have a significant impact on Strike’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

A significant portion of Strike’s working capital consists of accounts receivable. Strike’s accounts receivable was $253.1 million and $241.7 million as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018, respectively. If entities responsible for a significant amount of these accounts receivable were to cease doing

business, direct their business elsewhere, become insolvent or unable to pay the amount they owe Strike, or were to become unwilling or unable to make such payments in a timely manner, Strike’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity could be adversely affected. An economic or industry downturn could adversely affect the collectability of these accounts receivable, which could result in longer payment cycles, increased collection costs and defaults in excess of management’s expectations.

Strike has outstanding debt obligations that could limit its ability to fund future growth and operations and increase its exposure to risk during adverse economic conditions.

As of September 30, 2018, Strike had $34.0 million outstanding under its Amended ABL Credit Agreement (as defined below) and $300.2 million outstanding under its Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below). In addition, Strike had approximately $0.7 million of letters of credit outstanding under its Amended ABL Credit Agreement. Strike’s existing debt and associated commitments may have important adverse consequences. For example, the current level of indebtedness could:

•

make it more difficult for Strike to satisfy its contractual obligations;

•

decrease Strike’s liquidity position;

•

increase Strike’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•

limit Strike’s ability to borrow additional funds in the future or refinance on terms favorable to Strike;

•

limit Strike’s ability to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other corporate requirements;

•

limit Strike’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in Strike’s business and industry; and

•

place Strike at a disadvantage compared to its competitors that have less debt or less restrictive covenants in such debt.

Strike’s indebtedness exposes it to affirmative and negative covenants. For example, the Amended ABL Credit Agreement requires Strike and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 as of each fiscal quarter while a trigger period (as described in the Amended ABL Credit Agreement) is in effect. Strike’s indebtedness also exposes it to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, Strike’s debt service obligations on its variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed remains the same. In addition, Strike’s net income and cash flows, including cash available to service its indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease.

Strike’s indebtedness is secured by substantially all of the assets of the borrowers thereunder and other guarantors. The terms of Strike’s indebtedness contain customary events of default and covenants. If an event of default occurs and continues, the lenders may be permitted to terminate their commitments and accelerate all obligations and exercise other rights and remedies. For additional information on the Amended ABL Credit Agreement and the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement see the section entitled “Strike’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Strike may be unable to compete for or work on certain projects if it is unable to obtain sufficient bonding capacity to support certain service offerings. In addition, the amount of performance and surety bonds could reduce availability under Strike’s Amended ABL Credit Agreement and Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement (each as defined below).

Strike is required to obtain performance bonds for some of its contracts. The amount of performance bonds Strike is required to obtain fluctuates between contracts. If Strike is unable to renew or obtain a sufficient level of bonding capacity in the future, it may be precluded from being able to bid for certain contracts or successfully contract with certain customers. Under standard terms in the surety market, sureties issue bonds on a project-by-

project basis and can decline to issue bonds at any time or require the posting of additional collateral as a condition to issuing or renewing any bonds. If Strike were to experience an interruption or reduction in the availability of bonding capacity as a result of these or any other reasons, it may be unable to compete for or work on projects that require bonding. Strike may also be required to post letters of credits in connection with the bonds or pursuant to contracts with third parties, which could reduce borrowing availability under Strike’s Amended ABL Credit Agreement and Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement (each as defined below).

Strike leases a majority of its properties and equipment, which subject it to ongoing payment obligations and compliance with certain covenants.

As of September 30, 2018, Strike leased 62 properties to run its operations. Strike’s lease obligations have terms ranging from month-to-month to 13 years, expiring through December 31, 2027. Under these leases, Strike is obligated to make lease payments in the amount of $2.1 million for the remainder of 2018 (which includes amounts covered under month-to-month leases), $6.5 million for 2019, $4.9 million for 2020 and $16.3 million beyond 2020. If Strike is unable to make such rent payments or comply with the other covenants contained in the leases, the respective landlord could take certain actions against it, up to and including termination of the respective lease. In addition, Strike may be unable to renew such leases or find acceptable alternative lease locations. Any such event could have an adverse impact on Strike’s business, results of operations or financial conditions.

In addition to leases for real property, Strike also leases a significant amount of its equipment assets. As of September 30, 2018, Strike leased $321.4 million of equipment. Under these equipment leases, Strike is obligated to make lease payments in the amount of $16.8 million for the remainder of 2018, $49.2 million for 2019, $31.7 million for 2020 and $13.6 million beyond 2020. Strike’s equipment lease obligations have terms ranging from month-to-month to 5 years. Failure to make lease payments or comply with the other covenants contained in the leases could result in monetary damages, repossession, and the inability to obtain equipment on favorable terms in the future.

Risks Relating to Sentinel and the Business Combination

Directors of Sentinel have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that securityholders vote in favor of approval of the business combination and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement.

When considering Sentinel’s board of directors’ recommendation that its stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the business combination, Sentinel’s stockholders should be aware that directors and executive officers of Sentinel have interests in the business combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Sentinel’s stockholders. These interests include:

•

the continuation of five directors, including two current independent directors, of Sentinel as members of the board of directors of StrikeCo;

•

the repayment of loans made by, and the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by, certain officers or directors or their affiliates in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,500,000 (which right to receive such repayment in the form of warrants was waived in connection with entering into the Voting and Support Agreement); and

•

the continued indemnification of former and current directors and officers of Sentinel and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the business combination.

will be worthless if Sentinel is forced to liquidate. In addition, in the event of Sentinel’s liquidation, Sentinel’s warrants, including the private placement warrants held by certain of Sentinel’s directors and executive officers, will expire worthless. These financial interests of the founders, officers and directors and entities affiliated with them may have influenced their decision to approve the business combination. You should consider these interests when evaluating the business combination and the recommendation of Sentinel’s board of directors to vote in favor of the business combination proposal and other proposals to be presented to the stockholders.

Subsequent to the consummation of the business combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although Sentinel has conducted due diligence on Strike, Sentinel cannot assure you that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in their respective businesses, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Sentinel’s or Strike’s control will not later arise. As a result, StrikeCo may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if the due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that StrikeCo reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about StrikeCo or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause StrikeCo to violate net worth or other covenants to which it may be subject. Accordingly, any stockholders who choose to remain stockholders following the business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, relating to the business combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

To the extent that any shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock are issued pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement or upon exercise of any of the warrants, the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market would increase.

Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Continuing Members may exchange any or all of the shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock issued to them along with a corresponding number of Retained Company Units, for an equal number of shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock after the Closing. The Continuing Members are expected to receive an aggregate of approximately 24.6 million shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock in connection with the Closing.

Furthermore, following the business combination, StrikeCo will have 11,500,000 outstanding warrants to purchase 11,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share, which warrants will become exercisable 30 days following the Closing. In addition, there will be 5,933,333 private placement warrants outstanding exercisable for 5,933,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

To the extent that any shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock are issued pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement or upon exercise of any of the warrants to purchase shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock, there will be an increase in the number of shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of a substantial number of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of StrikeCo’s Class A common stock.

If our stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of our Class A common stock for a pro rata portion of the trust account.

Holders of public shares are not required to affirmatively vote against the business combination proposal in order to exercise their rights to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account. To exercise their redemption rights, they are required to submit a request in writing and deliver their stock (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent by 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on February 1, 2019. Stockholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the trust account less franchise and income taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the business combination.

We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

StrikeCo will have the ability to redeem outstanding public warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to proper notice of such redemption. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force holders (1) to exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so, (2) to sell the warrants at the then-current market price when the holder might otherwise wish to hold your warrants or (3) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the warrants. The private placement warrants are not redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Tax Receivable Agreement requires us to make cash payments to the Continuing Members with respect to certain tax benefits we actually realize (or in some cases are deemed to realize), and we expect that the payments we will be required to make will be substantial.

At the Closing, StrikeCo, Strike, the Unit Sellers and the Seller Representative will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex H to this proxy statement. The Tax Receivable Agreement will provide for the payment by us to Unit Sellers of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that we actually realize (or in some cases are deemed to realize) as a result of (1) increases in tax basis resulting from the acquisition of Company Units and (2) certain other tax benefits attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments that we make to the Unit Sellers under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary, we expect those payments will be substantial.

We have recorded a Tax Receivable Agreement liability (“TRA liability”) on the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheets (unaudited) of $10.8 million under the no redemption scenario on page 140 and $22.9 million under the maximum redemption scenario on page 150. The TRA liability is associated with the tax benefit from a step-up in the tax basis of Sentinel’s proportionate interest in the underlying assets of Strike to fair market value pursuant to an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder. Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Unit Sellers are entitled to 85% of the tax benefit from this step-up. Our estimate of the TRA liability represents 85% of this expected step-up multiplied by our estimated future federal and state income tax rates. As described above, pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Continuing Members are entitled to 85% of the tax benefit from a fair market value tax basis step-up as a result of an exchange of their Retained Company Units after the Closing pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. For the reasons set forth below, the TRA liabilities recorded on the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheets (unaudited) on pages 140 and 150 do not reflect the amount of any liability as a result of any such post-Closing exchange.

We believe that the total amount of future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. However, we are not able to anticipate the expected timing of, or quantify the dollar amount of, these payments. The timing and amount of these payments will depend on a number of factors, including, among other things, (1) the amount and timing of future exchanges of Retained Company Units by Continuing Members, and the extent to which these exchanges are taxable, (2) the price per share of the StrikeCo Class A common stock at the time of any exchange, (3) the amount and timing of future income against which to offset the potential tax benefits resulting from our acquisition of equity interests of Strike from the Unit Sellers at Closing and from the subsequent exchange of Retained Company Units after the Closing pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and (4) the tax laws then in effect. In addition, StrikeCo may be required to make additional payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement if it terminates the agreement early or materially breaches any of its obligations under the agreement. Any payments made by us to the Unit Sellers or Continuing Members under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us. For additional information on the Tax Receivable Agreement see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

The only principal asset of StrikeCo following the business combination will be its interest in Strike, and accordingly it will depend on distributions from Strike to pay taxes and expenses, including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Upon consummation of the business combination, StrikeCo will be a holding company and will have no material assets other than its ownership of Company Units. StrikeCo is not expected to have independent means of generating revenue or cash flow, and its ability to pay its taxes, operating expenses, obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement and pay any dividends in the future, if any, will be dependent upon the financial results and cash flows of Strike and its subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that Strike or its subsidiaries will generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to StrikeCo or that applicable state law and contractual restrictions, including negative covenants under debt instruments will permit such distributions. If Strike does not distribute sufficient funds to StrikeCo to pay its taxes or other liabilities, it may default on contractual obligations or have to borrow additional funds. In the event that StrikeCo is required to borrow additional funds it could adversely affect its liquidity and subject it to additional restrictions imposed by lenders. To the extent StrikeCo is unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, these payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.

If the benefits of the business combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our securities may decline.

If the benefits of the business combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of Sentinel’s securities prior to the Closing may decline. The market values of Sentinel’s securities at the time of the business combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Transaction Agreement were executed, the date of this proxy statement, or the date on which our stockholders vote on the business combination. Because the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the Transaction Agreement will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market price of Sentinel’s common stock, the market value of StrikeCo common stock issued in the business combination may be higher or lower than the values of these shares on earlier dates.

In addition, following the business combination, fluctuations in the price of StrikeCo’s securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the business combination, there has not been a public market for the stock of StrikeCo and trading in Shares of Sentinel Class A common stock has not been active. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to StrikeCo in the business combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the business combination. If an active market for our securities develops and continues, the trading price of our securities following the business combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities and our securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of StrikeCo’s securities may include:

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;

•

changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results;

•

success of competitors;

•

our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•

changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning StrikeCo or the industries in which StrikeCo operates in general;

•

operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to StrikeCo;

•

our ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;

•

changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

•

commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving StrikeCo;

•

changes in StrikeCo’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•

the volume of shares of our Class A common stock available for public sale;

•

any major change in our board or management;

•

sales of substantial amounts of common stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•

general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies that investors perceive to be similar to StrikeCo could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions, or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

Sentinel’s initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares or public warrants from public stockholders or public warrant holders, which may influence a vote on the business combination and reduce the public “float” of our Class A common stock.

Sentinel’s initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or public warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either before or following the completion of the business combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. There is no limit on the number of shares Sentinel’s initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors, or their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and the rules of Nasdaq. However, other than as expressly stated herein, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the trust account will be used to purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions.

In the event that Sentinel’s initial stockholders, directors, executive officers, advisors, or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of any such purchases of shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the business combination or to satisfy a closing condition in the Transaction Agreement that requires us to have a certain amount of cash at the Closing, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. In addition, the purpose of any such purchases of public warrants could be to reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with the initial business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of the business combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our Class A common stock and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing, or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

Sentinel’s initial stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the business combination, regardless of how our public stockholders vote.

Our initial stockholders have agreed to vote their founder shares, as well as any public shares purchased during or after Sentinel’s initial public offering, in favor of the business combination. The initial stockholders own on an as-converted basis, approximately 20% of our outstanding shares prior to the business combination. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval for the business combination will be received than would be the case if our initial stockholders agreed to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public stockholders.

If Strike fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results.

Strike is currently a private company. Following the consummation of the business combination, Strike will be required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires, among other things, Strike to evaluate annually the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, commencing with StrikeCo’s annual report for the year ending December 31, 2019 in accordance with applicable SEC guidance. Effective internal controls are necessary for Strike to provide reliable financial reports and to help prevent fraud. Strike’s management and other personnel will be required to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations increase legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. Despite best efforts, Strike cannot be certain that it will be able to maintain adequate controls over its financial processes and reporting in the future or that Strike will be able to comply with its obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Even if we consummate the business combination, there can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

The exercise price for the outstanding warrants is $11.50 per share of common stock. There can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.

If Sentinel is unable to complete the business combination with Strike or another business combination by November 7, 2019 (or such later date as Sentinel stockholders may approve), Sentinel will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against Sentinel and, as a result, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $10.00 per share.

Under the terms of the Sentinel Charter, Sentinel must complete the business combination with Strike or another business combination by November 7, 2019 (or such later date as Sentinel stockholders may approve), or Sentinel must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against Sentinel. Although Sentinel has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers (other than our independent auditors) it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses it has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust account notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to claims that could take priority over those of Sentinel’s public stockholders.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (1) $10.00 per public share and (2) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We have not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. The Sponsor may not have sufficient funds available to satisfy those obligations. We have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Sentinel’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public stockholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below the lesser of (1) $10.00 per public share and (2) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Sentinel’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.

While Sentinel currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to Sentinel, it is possible that Sentinel’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in

any particular instance. If Sentinel’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to Sentinel’s public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our stockholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

Sentinel’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Sentinel to the extent of distributions received by them.

If Sentinel is unable to complete the business combination with Strike or another business combination within the required time period, Sentinel will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, liquidating and dissolving, subject to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Sentinel cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against Sentinel. As such, Sentinel’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of its stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, Sentinel cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from its stockholders amounts owed to them by Sentinel.

If Sentinel is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/ creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Sentinel’s stockholders. Furthermore, because Sentinel intends to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to its public stockholders promptly after the expiration of the time period to complete an initial business combination, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to its public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from its assets. Furthermore, Sentinel’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to its creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and the company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account before addressing the claims of creditors. Sentinel cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

High levels of redemptions may hinder or prevent the post-combination company from executing its operations strategy.

The management of Strike and Sentinel have made certain assumptions when modeling their expectations of the operations and strategy of the post-business combination company. If a larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than assumed by the management of Strike and Sentinel, the post-combination company may not be able to execute on its operations strategy. For example, in connection with the consummation of the business combination, Strike intends to pay off existing indebtedness under its existing facilities. A high level of redemptions will negatively impact the amount of funds remaining in Sentinel’s trust account and therefore would limit the amount of funds available to pay down Strike’s indebtedness. Failure to discharge Strike’s indebtedness could limit flexibility of the post-combination company.

The ability of stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of shares could increase the probability that the business combination would be unsuccessful and that stockholders would have to wait for liquidation to redeem their stock.

At the time we entered into the agreements for the business combination, we did not know how many stockholders will exercise their redemption rights, and therefore we structured the business combination based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. The agreements with Strike relating to the business combination require us to have sufficient cash available to pay the Minimum Cash Amount. If a larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than we initially expected, this could lead to a lack of liquidity, which could impair StrikeCo’s ability to fund its operations and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement may not be indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this proxy statement is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the business combination been completed on the dates indicated. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.

The business combination is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all.

The completion of the business combination is subject to a number of conditions. The completion of the business combination is not assured and is subject to risks, including the risk that approval of the business combination by Sentinel’s stockholders is not obtained or that there are not sufficient funds in the trust account, in each case subject to certain terms specified in the Transaction Agreement (as described under “The Transaction Agreement — Conditions to the Closing of the Business Combination”), or that other closing conditions are not satisfied. If Sentinel does not complete the business combination, it could be subject to several risks, including:

•

the parties may be liable for damages to one another under the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement;

•

negative reactions from the financial markets, including declines in the price of Sentinel’s shares due to the fact that current prices may reflect a market assumption that the business combination will be completed; and

•

the attention of our management will have been diverted to the business combination rather than our own operations and pursuit of other opportunities that could have been beneficial to that organization.

There can be no assurance that our Class A common stock that will be issued in connection with the business combination will be approved for listing on the NYSE following the Closing, or that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the NYSE.

Sentinel intends to apply to list the shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock and warrants, upon the consummation of the business combination, on the NYSE. StrikeCo’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on the number of our shares that are redeemed. If, after the business combination, the NYSE delists the Class A common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, StrikeCo and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

•

a determination that its Class A common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in its Class A common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for its Class A common stock;

•

a limited amount of analyst coverage; and

•

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

If Sentinel is not able to complete the business combination with Strike or another business combination by November 7, 2019 (or such later date as Sentinel stockholders may approve), Sentinel would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and Sentinel would redeem its public shares and liquidate the trust account, in which case its public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and our warrants will expire worthless.

The Sentinel Charter state that it must complete its initial business combination by November 7, 2019. If Sentinel has not completed the business combination with Strike by then or another business combination by November 7, 2019 (or such later date as our stockholders may approve), Sentinel will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to pay franchise and income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Sentinel’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, Sentinel’s public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and our warrants will expire worthless.

The Proposed Charter designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings arising under Delaware state law that StrikeCo’s stockholders may initiate, which could limit a stockholder’s ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with StrikeCo or its directors, officers or employees.

The Proposed Charter provides that, subject to limited exceptions, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for any:

•

derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of StrikeCo;

•

action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of StrikeCo’s directors, officers or other employees to StrikeCo or its stockholders;

•

action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, StrikeCo’s charter or bylaws;

•

action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of StrikeCo’s charter or bylaws; or

•

other action asserting a claim against StrikeCo that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of StrikeCo’s capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of the Proposed Charter described above. These choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with StrikeCo or its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against StrikeCo and its directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, StrikeCo may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect StrikeCo’s business and financial condition.

The audited financial statements of Crossfire were required to be included in this proxy statement under the technical requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X. Despite the technical requirements, the audited financial statements of Crossfire are not included in this proxy statement.

On December 30, 2016, Strike acquired all of the membership interests in Crossfire for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $19 million. Since the acquisition of Crossfire, Strike has fully integrated the operations of Crossfire into its own operations, and has not treated Crossfire as a stand-alone business. Under the technical requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, Sentinel was required to include the audited financial statements of Crossfire in this proxy statement. On November 26, 2018, Sentinel submitted a letter to the SEC requesting that the SEC waive the requirement to include the audited financial statements of Crossfire in this proxy statement. In the letter, Sentinel stated that the waiver should be granted because the acquisition of Crossfire was insignificant in relation to the financial statements of Strike, the cost of preparing and auditing Crossfire’s financial statements would exceed the benefit investors would derive from them, and the financial results of Crossfire are included in a full year of Strike’s post-acquisition audited financial statements as well as an additional nine months of unaudited results.

Due to the U.S. federal government shutdown, Sentinel has not received a response to the waiver request from the SEC. Despite the technical requirements to include the audited financial statements of Crossfire, Sentinel has determined to proceed with mailing this proxy statement without including the audited financial statements of Crossfire or receiving the requested waiver. If Sentinel is not able to obtain the waiver from the SEC following the reopening of the government, Sentinel may be required to incur substantial costs in preparing audited financial statements of Crossfire.

SPECIAL MEETING

General

Sentinel is furnishing this proxy statement to Sentinel’s stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by Sentinel’s board of directors for use at the special meeting to be held on February 5, 2019, and at any adjournment thereof. This proxy statement is first being furnished to Sentinel’s stockholders on or about January 18, 2019 in connection with the vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. This proxy statement provides Sentinel’s stockholders with information they need to know to be able to vote or instruct their vote to be cast at the special meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The special meeting will be held on February 5, 2019, at 10:00 a.m., Central Time, at the offices of Winston & Strawn LLP, at 2121 North Pearl Street, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75201.

Purpose of the Sentinel Special Meeting

At the special meeting, Sentinel is asking holders of shares of Sentinel common stock to:

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Transaction Agreement, which, among other things, provides for, among other things, (1) the merger of Blocker Merger Sub with and into Blocker, with Blocker continuing as the surviving entity, immediately followed by the merger of Blocker with and into Sentinel, with Sentinel continuing as the surviving entity, (2) the purchase by Sentinel of certain of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike from certain Unit Sellers for cash, with the Continuing Members retaining the remaining issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike and each such Continuing Member receiving a number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock equal to the number of Company Units retained by such Continuing Member, (3) the contribution by Sentinel to Strike of all remaining cash held by Sentinel, and (4) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement (we refer to this proposal as the “business combination proposal”);

•

consider and vote upon three separate proposals (which we refer to, collectively, as the “charter proposals”) to approve, assuming the business combination proposal is approved and adopted, the following material differences between the Sentinel Charter and the Proposed Charter of StrikeCo:

(1)

to approve the provision in the Proposed Charter increasing the authorized capital stock from 221,000,000 shares consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock of a par value of $0.0001 each, 20,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class B common stock of a par value of $0.0001 each and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock of a par value of $0.0001 each, to authorized capital stock of 451,000,000 shares, consisting of (x) 450,000,000 shares of common stock, including 400,000,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock, 50,000,000 shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock and (y) 1,000,000 shares of preferred (we refer to this as “charter proposal A”);

(2)

to approve the provision in the Proposed Charter providing that each member of StrikeCo’s board of directors will be elected annually at each annual meeting of stockholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof) following the Closing (we refer to this as “charter proposal B”);

(3)

to approve all other changes in connection with amending the Sentinel Charter, including (1) changing the post-business combination corporate name from “Sentinel Energy Services Inc.” to “Strike, Inc.” and making StrikeCo’s corporate existence perpetual and (2) removing certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company that will no longer apply upon consummation of the business combination, all of which Sentinel’s board of directors believe are necessary to adequately address the needs of StrikeCo after the business combination (we refer to this as “charter proposal C”);

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the business combination proposal and the charter proposals are approved and adopted, for the purposes of complying with the applicable Nasdaq listing rules, the issuance of (x) shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock to (1) the Blocker Seller at the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, (2) CSL Energy in the CSL Private Placement at the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the CSL Subscription Agreement, (3) the Fidelity Investors in the Fidelity Private Placement, pursuant to the terms of the Fidelity Subscription Agreement, (4) the Invacor Sellers, pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, and (5) to the Continuing Members who exchange the Company Units and an equal number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock, from time to time, held by them following the Closing, pursuant to and in accordance with, the terms of the Exchange Agreement, and (y) shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock to the Continuing Members, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, in order to comply with the applicable listing rules of Nasdaq (we refer to this proposal as the “stock issuance proposal”);

•

to consider and vote upon a proposal to elect one director, assuming charter proposal B is not approved and our board of directors remains classified, to serve as a Class I director on StrikeCo’s board of directors for a term of three years expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2021 or until such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. Assuming charter proposal B is approved and our board of directors is declassified, such nominee, if elected, will serve on our board of directors for a term expiring at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders or until such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal (we refer to this as the “director election proposal”). Pursuant to the Sentinel Charter, until the Closing, only holders of shares of Sentinel Class B common stock can vote on the election of directors. Therefore, only holders of shares of Sentinel Class B common stock will vote on the director election proposal;

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the business combination proposal, the charter proposals and the stock issuance proposal are approved and adopted, the Strike, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex D (we refer to this proposal as the “incentive award plan proposal” and, collectively with the business combination proposal, the charter proposals and the stock issuance proposal, the “condition precedent proposals”); and

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, any of the condition precedent proposals would not be duly approved and adopted by our stockholders or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Transaction Agreement is not satisfied or waived (we refer to this proposal as the “adjournment proposal”).

Recommendation of Sentinel Board of Directors

Sentinel’s board of directors has unanimously determined that the business combination proposal is in the best interests of Sentinel and its stockholders, has unanimously approved the business combination proposal, and unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the business combination proposal, “FOR” each of the separate charter proposals, “FOR” the stock issuance proposal, “FOR” the director nominee set forth in the director election proposal, “FOR” the incentive award plan proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal, in each case, if presented to the special meeting.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

Sentinel has fixed the close of business on January 14, 2019, as the “record date” for determining Sentinel stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the special meeting. As of the close of business on January 14, 2019, there were 43,125,000 shares of Sentinel common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share at the special meeting.

Quorum

The presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the special meeting constitutes a quorum at the special meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

In general, if your shares are held in “street” name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on a timely basis on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee, in its sole discretion, may either leave your shares unvoted or vote your shares on “routine” matters, but not on any “non-routine” matters, like the business combination proposal.

Vote Required for Approval

otherwise established, such failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on any of the proposals other than the charter proposals. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the proposals except for the charter proposals. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person or an abstention from voting on any of the charter proposals will have the same effective as a vote “AGAINST” such charter proposal.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of Sentinel common stock that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. There are two ways to vote your shares of Sentinel common stock at the special meeting:

•

You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by Sentinel’s board “FOR” the business combination proposal, “FOR” each of the separate charter proposals, “FOR” the stock issuance proposal, “FOR” the director nominee set forth in the director election proposal, “FOR” the incentive award plan proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal, in each case, if presented to the special meeting. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the special meeting will not be counted.

•

You Can Attend the Special meeting and Vote in Person. You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a valid legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way Sentinel can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a Sentinel stockholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

•

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

•

you may notify Kent Jamison, Sentinel’s General Counsel and Secretary, in writing before the special meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•

you may attend the special meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are a stockholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of common stock, you may call Morrow Sodali LLC, our proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200, or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by emailing STNL.info@morrowsodali.com.

Vote of Sentinel’s Sponsor, Directors and Officers

Sentinel entered into agreements with its initial stockholders, directors and officers, pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of Sentinel common stock owned by them in favor of an initial business combination.

These agreements apply to Sentinel’s initial stockholders, including the Sponsor, as it relates to the founder shares and the requirement to vote all of the founder shares in favor of the business combination proposal and for all other proposals presented to our stockholders in this proxy statement.

Our initial stockholders, directors and officers have waived any redemption rights, including with respect to any shares of Sentinel purchased in Sentinel’s initial public offering or in the aftermarket, in connection with business combination. The founder shares held by our initial stockholders have no redemption rights upon our liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by us by November 7, 2019. However, our initial stockholders are entitled to redemption rights upon our liquidation with respect to any public shares they may own.

Redemption Rights

Public stockholders may seek to redeem the public shares that they hold, regardless of whether they vote for the proposed business combination, against the proposed business combination or do not vote in relation to the proposed business combination. Any public stockholder may request redemption of their public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay franchise and income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the business combination is consummated, the holder will no longer own these shares following the business combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 20% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Sentinel’s initial stockholders will not have redemption rights with respect to any shares of Sentinel common stock owned by them, directly or indirectly.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)

(ii)

If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Public shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder. In the event the proposed business combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their shares.

Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until immediately prior to the vote on the proposed business combination and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivers its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Sentinel instruct its transfer agent to return the certificate (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement.

If the business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then Sentinel’s public stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares. In such case, Sentinel will promptly return any shares previously delivered by public holders.

The closing price of shares of Sentinel common stock on January 15, 2019, the most recent closing price, was $10.06. For illustrative purposes, the cash held in the trust account on December 31, 2018 was $350,123,005 or approximately $10.15 per public share, as of December 31, 2018. Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of shares of Sentinel common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their shares of Sentinel common stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. Sentinel cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Sentinel common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own those public shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for your public shares only if you properly exercise your right to redeem the public shares you hold, no later than the close of the vote on the business combination proposal, and deliver your public shares (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent, prior to 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on February 1, 2019, and the business combination is consummated.

In order for public stockholders to exercise their redemption rights in respect of the proposed business combination, public stockholders must properly exercise their right to redeem the public shares they hold no later than the close of the vote on the business combination proposal and deliver their public shares (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent, prior to 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on February 1, 2019. Immediately following the consummation of the business combination, StrikeCo shall pay public stockholders who properly exercised their redemption rights in respect of their public shares.

Appraisal Rights

Neither Sentinel stockholders nor Sentinel warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the business combination under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

Sentinel is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Sentinel and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Sentinel will bear the cost of the solicitation.

Sentinel has hired Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the proxy solicitation process. Sentinel will pay that firm a fee of $22,500 plus disbursements. Such fee will be paid with non-trust account funds.

Sentinel will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Sentinel will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Potential Purchases of Public Shares and/or Warrants

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the business combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. As of the date of this proxy statement, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Sentinel will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the special meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

We are asking our stockholders to approve and adopt the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Our stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Transaction Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement. Please see the subsection entitled “The Transaction Agreement” below, for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Transaction Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Transaction Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Because we are holding a stockholder vote on the business combination, we may consummate the business combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Sentinel common stock that are voted at the special meeting.

The Transaction Agreement

This section describes the material provisions of the Transaction Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Transaction Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Transaction Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference. Stockholders and other interested parties are urged to read the Transaction Agreement, carefully and in its entirety (and, if appropriate, with the advice of financial and legal counsel) because it is the primary legal document that governs the business combination.

The Transaction Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Transaction Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Transaction Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Transaction Agreement are also modified in important part by the disclosure letter (the “Disclosure Letter”) and annexes attached thereto which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders. The Disclosure Letter was used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the Disclosure Letter contains information that is material to an investment decision.

General; Structure of the Business Combination

On October 18, 2018, Sentinel entered into the Transaction Agreement with Blocker, the Sellers, Strike, the Seller Representative and Blocker Merger Sub. The Transaction Agreement provides for among other things:

•

the merger of Blocker Merger Sub with and into Blocker, with Blocker continuing as the surviving entity, immediately followed by the merger of Blocker with and into Sentinel, with Sentinel continuing as the surviving entity;

•

the purchase by Sentinel from the Unit Sellers of a certain number of issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike, with certain of the Unit Sellers retaining the remaining issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike; and

•

the contribution by Sentinel to Strike of all remaining cash held by Sentinel.

In connection with the business combination, assuming no redemptions by public stockholders, Sentinel is expected to acquire approximately 72%, of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike from the Unit Sellers, with the Continuing Members (as defined below) expected to retain the remaining approximately 28% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike (such retained equity interests, the “Retained Company Units”). Prior to the Closing, the equity interests in Strike (referred to as “Company Units”) will be held by the Unit Sellers and indirectly by the Blocker Seller.

Following the Closing, Sentinel and Strike will be organized in an “Up-C” structure, meaning that:

•

substantially all of our assets and operations will be held and conducted by Strike;

•

Sentinel’s only assets will be the equity interests of Strike acquired from the Unit Sellers, representing a majority economic interest in Strike, expected to be approximately 72%;

•

Sentinel will be the managing member of Strike pursuant to the terms of Strike’s Third Amended and Restated Regulations (the “A&R Regulations”);

•

the Retained Company Units will be owned by the Unit Sellers, who elected to retain certain of their Company Units instead of receiving all cash consideration (the “Continuing Members”);

•

the shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock generally will vote together with the shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock on matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders but will represent a non-economic interest in us, such that one Retained Company Unit and one share of StrikeCo Class B common stock, together, will represent an economic and voting interest that is equivalent to one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock; and

•

each Retained Company Unit, together with one share of StrikeCo Class B common stock, will be exchangeable in the future, subject to certain conditions, for either one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock or, at our election, the cash equivalent to the market value of one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Exchange Agreement.

Post-Business Combination Ownership Structure

After the business combination, assuming no redemptions by public stockholders, Sentinel will own approximately 72% of Strike, with the Continuing Members owning the remaining 28% of Strike. Specifically, it is anticipated that, upon completion of the business combination, the ownership interests in StrikeCo will be as set forth in the table below.


	Assuming No Redemptions of Public Shares			Assuming Maximum Redemptions of Public Shares⁽¹⁾
Sentinel’s public stockholders		39	%		3	%
Initial Stockholders		10	%		15	%
CSL Energy		4	%		7	%
Fidelity Investors		12	%		20	%
Sellers		35	%		55	%

(1)	Assumes that holders of 32,632,412 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock exercise their redemption rights (maximum redemptions scenario based on $348,956,985 held in trust as of September 30, 2018 and a redemption price of approximately $10.12 per share).

Consideration to be Received in the Business Combination

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, Sentinel has agreed to pay to the Sellers approximately $124.4 million in cash and issue to the Sellers an aggregate of approximately 30.6 million shares of StrikeCo common stock, with Blocker Seller receiving a portion of such cash and shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock and the Unit Sellers, who have elected to sell all of their Company Units receiving cash and the Continuing Members receiving cash and/or a number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock equal to the number of Retained Company Units held by them, in each case as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement. Each Retained Company Unit, together with one share of StrikeCo Class B common stock, will be exchangeable in the future, subject to certain conditions, for either one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock or, at our election, the cash equivalent to the market value of one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Exchange Agreement.

Efforts to Obtain Stockholder Approval and Consummate the Business Combination; Regulatory Matters

Unless the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, we have agreed to call a special meeting of our stockholders, for the purpose of such stockholders considering and voting on the approval of the Transaction Agreement and any other matters required to be voted upon by such stockholders in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Agreement (including the business combination). We may, without the prior consent of the Sellers, make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of such special meeting (1) if required by applicable law or a request from the SEC or its staff, (2) to the extent necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the proxy statement that our board of directors, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, has determined in good faith, is required by applicable law is provided to the Buyer’s stockholders, or (3) if, on a date for which such special meeting is scheduled, the Buyer has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Sentinel capital stock to obtain the Buyer Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present; provided, that (A) the duration of any such adjournment or postponement shall be limited to the minimum duration reasonably necessary to remedy the circumstances giving rise to such adjournment or postponement, (B) no single such adjournment or postponement shall be for more than five business days except as may be required by federal securities laws, and (C) in the case of clause (3), such special meeting shall not be postponed to later than the date that is ten business days after the date for which such special meeting was originally scheduled without the prior written consent of the Sellers. All other postponements or adjournments shall require the prior written consent of the Sellers. Our board of directors has, by a unanimous vote, approved the business combination and directed that the Transaction Agreement and the business combination be submitted to our stockholders for their consideration.

Moreover, each of the parties to the Transaction Agreement has agreed to execute and deliver such documents and take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the provisions of the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the business combination. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Transaction Agreement, each of the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts under the circumstances including by taking, or causing to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, including the business combination, including using commercially reasonable efforts to (1) obtain all necessary consents from any person, including governmental authorities, and making of all filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain such consents or to avoid an action by any governmental authority, (2) defend any Actions, whether judicial or administrative, challenging the Transaction Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, including the business combination, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other governmental authority vacated or reversed and (3) fulfill all conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, including the business combination. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Strike will, and will cause its subsidiaries and each of their respective officers and employees to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Sentinel such customary cooperation reasonably requested by Sentinel in connection with the solicitation of proxies to obtain the Buyer Stockholder Approval, including attending and participating in such presentations, meetings and roadshows reasonably requested by Sentinel and providing such information, financial or otherwise, reasonably requested by Sentinel in connection therewith.

In addition, Blocker Seller, Blocker, Strike, Blocker Merger Sub and Sentinel were required, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than two business days following the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreement, to submit all filings required by the HSR Act, and thereafter provide any supplemental information requested in connection therewith pursuant to the HSR Act and make any similar filing within, to the extent reasonably practicable, a similar time frame with any other governmental authority for which such filing is

required. On October 22, 2018, Blocker Seller, Blocker, Strike, Blocker Merger Sub and Sentinel filed the required forms under the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act on October 31, 2018.

The Transaction Agreement provides that, for a period of six years after the Closing Date, Sentinel will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation, Strike and its subsidiaries, as applicable, to, indemnify and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to, all of the respective past and present directors, officers and employees of Blocker, Strike and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) to the same extent the Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses pursuant to the certificates of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or similar organizational or governing documents of Blocker, Strike and its subsidiaries, as applicable, and indemnification agreements with any of Blocker, Strike and its subsidiaries, as applicable, in existence on the Effective Date with, or for the benefit of, any Indemnitee for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date.

The Transaction Agreement further provides that, except as required by applicable law, for a period of six years after the Closing Date, Sentinel will not, and will not permit the Surviving Corporation, Strike and its subsidiaries to, amend, repeal or modify any provision providing for rights to indemnification and exculpation from liability for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date now existing in favor of the Indemnitees contained in the certificates of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or similar organizational or governing documents of Blocker, Strike and its subsidiaries, as applicable, and indemnification agreements with any of Blocker, Strike or its subsidiaries, as applicable, in existence on the Effective Date with, or for the benefit of, any Indemnitee for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, that if any claims are made or asserted within such six-year period, all rights in respect of any such claims will continue until the full disposition of all such claims.

At or prior to the Closing, Strike and its subsidiaries are required to obtain an irrevocable “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy (the “D&O Tail”) naming the Indemnitees as direct beneficiaries with a claims period of at least six years from the Closing Date in respect of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, and such policy must contain terms with respect to coverage and be in an amount not less favorable than the officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy maintained by Blocker, Strike and its subsidiaries in existence on the Effective Date. Sentinel will cause Blocker, Strike and its subsidiaries to maintain the D&O Tail in full force and effect, for its full term.

If the Surviving Corporation, Strike or any of its subsidiaries or any of their successors or assigns (a) consolidates with or merges into any other person and will not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (b) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, in each such case, to the extent necessary, Sentinel is required to cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of, as the case may be, assume the indemnification obligations set forth in the Transaction Agreement.

The provisions in the Transaction Agreement relating to foregoing indemnification obligations, are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives.

Employee Benefit Matters

The Transaction Agreement provides that for a period of one year following the Closing Date, Sentinel will (or will cause its affiliates to) provide the employees of Strike and its subsidiaries who remain employed by Strike, its subsidiaries or Sentinel (collectively, the “Covered Employees”) with (a) base salary or wages, as applicable, that is no less favorable in the aggregate than each such Covered Employee’s total cash compensation immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (b) employee benefits (excluding any equity-based compensation, synthetic equity, and defined benefit plan benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to the Covered Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date.

The Transaction Agreement further provides that, with respect to any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of Sentinel and its affiliates in which any Covered Employee first becomes eligible to participate on

or after the Closing Date (a “Buyer Plan”), Sentinel will (or will cause its affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to: (1) waive all pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each such Covered Employee and his or her eligible dependents under any such Buyer Plan providing health or welfare benefits, except to the extent such pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations or waiting periods applied immediately prior to the Closing Date under an analogous employee plan; (2) provide such Covered Employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments, co-insurance and deductibles paid prior to becoming eligible to participate in any such Buyer Plan providing group health and welfare benefits under the analogous employee plan (to the same extent that such credit was given under such employee plan) in satisfying any applicable deductible requirements under such Buyer Plan during the plan year in which such participation begins; and (3) recognize all service of such Covered Employees with Strike, its subsidiaries and their predecessors (including recognition of all prior service with any entity that was recognized by Strike or its subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date), for purposes of eligibility and vesting under any Buyer Plan (other than for purposes of benefit accruals under a defined benefit plan, equity based or other incentive compensation plans, or any retiree health or welfare plan or arrangement and except to the extent such service recognition would result in a duplication of benefits), to the extent that such service was recognized for such purpose under an analogous employee plan.

Trust Account Waiver

The Sellers, Strike and its subsidiaries have acknowledged that Sentinel established the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders. In addition, the Sellers, Strike and its subsidiaries have acknowledged that, prior to Closing, it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies in the Trust Account, including, without limitation, any claim for indemnification and have waived any claim for monies in the Trust Account it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, the Transaction Agreement and the business combination, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

Definition of Material Adverse Effect

Many of the representations and warranties in the Transaction Agreement are subject to materiality or material adverse effect qualifications. For purposes of the Transaction Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any effect, change, development, circumstance, occurrence or event that with all other effects, changes, developments, circumstances, occurrences or events has had a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise but not prospects) of Strike and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or Blocker, as applicable; except that Material Adverse Effect will not include any change, occurrence or event, directly or indirectly, arising out of or attributable to:

(a)

general business or economic conditions, market events, occurrences, developments or circumstances affecting the industries in which Strike or its subsidiaries conduct their respective businesses;

(b)

conditions generally affecting the industries in which Strike, its subsidiaries or Blocker conduct their businesses;

(c)

the announcement or performance of, or the public or industry knowledge of, the Transaction Agreement or the business combination, including the impact thereof on relationships with customers, suppliers or employees;

(d)

changes in the U.S. or global financial, banking or securities markets generally, including changes in currency exchange rates or interest rates;

(e)

changes in applicable laws or accounting rules (including GAAP);

(f)

acts or omissions of the Sellers or Strike or its subsidiaries expressly contemplated to be taken pursuant to the Transaction Agreement or at the written request of Sentinel;

(g)

natural disasters, acts of terrorism or war (whether or not declared); or

(h)

the failure, in and of itself, of the financial or operating performance of Strike, its subsidiaries or Blocker to meet projections, forecasts or budgets for any period;

provided, however, that, with respect to subclauses (a), (d), (e) and (g) above, any effect, change, development, circumstance, occurrence or event referred to above will be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or would reasonably be expected to occur to the extent that such effect, change, development, circumstance, occurrence or event has a disproportionate effect on Strike and its subsidiaries compared to other participants in the industries in which Strike and its subsidiaries primarily conduct their businesses (in which case only such disproportionate effect may be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or would reasonably be expected to occur).

Amendment of the Transaction Agreement

The Transaction Agreement may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Sellers Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) and Sentinel; provided, however, that no amendment may be made that materially alters the terms, substance or meaning of the agreements, rights, liabilities or covenants contained in the Transaction Agreement in any material respect without the approval of the affected party.

The description of the transaction agreement in this proxy statement has been included to provide you with information regarding its terms. The transaction agreement contains representations and warranties made by and to the parties as of specific dates. The statements embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the contracts between the parties and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the transaction agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specified date or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, the representations and warranties and other provisions of the transaction agreement should not be read alone, but instead should be read only in conjunction with the information provided elsewhere in this proxy statement. If subsequent information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties, and covenants in the transaction agreement is not fully reflected in this proxy statement or in our other public disclosures, sentinel’s future public disclosures, which are available without charge through the sec’s website at www.sec.gov, will include any material information necessary to provide its stockholders a materially complete understanding of the transaction agreement disclosures. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Related Agreements

This section describes the material provisions of certain additional agreements to be entered into pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, which we refer to as the “Related Agreements,” but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of each of the Related Agreements. Forms of the Exchange Agreement, Investor Rights Agreement, Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, Tax Receivable Agreement, Lock-Up Agreements and copies of the CSL Subscription Agreement, Fidelity Subscription Agreement, Contribution Agreement and Voting and Support Agreement are attached to this proxy statement as Annexes E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L and M, respectively. Stockholders and other interested parties are urged to read such Related Agreements in their entirety prior to voting on the proposals presented at the special meeting.

Exchange Agreement

At the Closing, StrikeCo, Strike and the Continuing Members will enter into the Exchange Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex E to this proxy statement. The Exchange Agreement entitles each Continuing Member and such other Strike Unitholders from time to time party thereto, to exchange, one time per calendar quarter, any or all of the Retained Company Units and surrender an equal number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock, held by them for either (at StrikeCo’s option):

•

a number of shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock equal to the number of Retained Company Units exchanged multiplied by the exchange rate (which initially will be one, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments as described in the Exchange Agreement), or

•

cash in an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of Retained Company Units exchanged, multiplied by (b) the then-applicable exchange rate multiplied by (c) the average of the daily VWAP (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) of a share of StrikeCo Class A common stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the date of delivery of the relevant date of exchange.

StrikeCo may provide shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock that are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, unregistered shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock or any combination thereof, as it may

determine in its sole discretion, it being understood that all such unregistered shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock shall be entitled to the registration rights set forth in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, to the extent such Continuing Member or other Strike Unitholders are a party to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement.

In addition, in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) of StrikeCo, StrikeCo will have the right to require each Continuing Member or such other Strike Unitholders from time to time party thereto to exchange some or all Retained Company Units beneficially owned by such Continuing Member or such other Strike Unitholders from time to time party thereto (and an equal number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock), in consideration for the issuance by StrikeCo to such Continuing Member or such other Strike Unitholders from time to time party thereto of a number of shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock equal to the number of Retained Company Units surrendered multiplied by the exchange rate.

Each party to the Exchange Agreement will bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any exchange. Generally, StrikeCo will also bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes as well as any other expenses incurred by it in connection with an exchange.

Investor Rights Agreement

At the Closing, StrikeCo will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement with the Blocker Seller and the Continuing Members (collectively and together with Blocker Seller, the “Investors”) and OEP-Strike Seller Representative, LLC, in its capacity as representative of the Investors (the “Investors Representative”), substantially in the form attached as Annex F to this proxy statement.

The Investor Rights Agreement provides that, so long as the Investors beneficially own, on a continuous basis, in the aggregate, at least 10% in voting power of the then outstanding capital stock of StrikeCo entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Minimum Threshold”), the Investors, acting through the Investors Representative, shall have the right to cause StrikeCo, and, if so directed, StrikeCo will take all reasonable necessary action to nominate up to two director nominees (the “IRA Directors”) selected by the Investors (acting through the Investors Representatives) to the StrikeCo board of directors at each applicable annual or special meeting of the stockholders of StrikeCo at which directors are generally elected. Subject to applicable stock exchange requirements and applicable SEC rules, at least one IRA Director will be entitled to serve on each standing or ad hoc committee of the StrikeCo board of directors, and the StrikeCo board of directors will not create any new committees without the consent of at least one IRA Director. Furthermore, one of the IRA Directors will be the chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee. So long as the Investor Rights Agreement is in effect, in addition to any requirements under StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter, the StrikeCo bylaws or the DGCL, the size or structure of the StrikeCo board of directors will not be increased without the approval of a majority of the StrikeCo board of directors present and voting, which approval must include at least one IRA Director. The Investors’ right to nominate any person to the StrikeCo board of directors shall automatically terminate, and be of no further force and effect, on the date that the Investors beneficially own less than the Minimum Threshold; provided, further, that if the Investors beneficially own less than the Minimum Threshold, the IRA Directors will, at the request of remaining members of the StrikeCo board of directors, resign from the StrikeCo board of directors.

Further, the Investor Rights Agreement provides that, so long as the Investors beneficially own on a continuous basis, in the aggregate, at least 15% in voting power of the then outstanding capital stock of StrikeCo entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, StrikeCo will permit a representative of the Investors selected by the Investors, acting through the Investors Representative, to attend any and all meetings of the StrikeCo board of directors, in a non-voting capacity and, in this respect, StrikeCo shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to its directors, provided that the representative agrees to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, StrikeCo, the Blocker Seller, the Continuing Members, the Sponsor and Marc Zenner and Jon A. Marshall, will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex G to this proxy statement. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement will amend, restate and replace in its entirety the registration rights agreement, entered into by Sentinel, the Sponsor and Mr. Zenner in connection with Sentinel’s initial public offering, in order to provide substantially similar registration rights to each of the signatories to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which StrikeCo will be required to register for resale all of the (1) founder shares; (2) private placement warrants; (3) shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants; (4) shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock into which the Retained Company Units and StrikeCo Class B common stock may be exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement; (5) any outstanding shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock or any other equity securities (including shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or exchange of any equity security) of StrikeCo held by a party to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement or their affiliates as of the date of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement; and (6) other equity securities issued or issuable with respect to any Registrable Security by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (including upon exercise of the private placement warrants) (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) held by each of the parties thereto.

The Registrable Securities will consist of an aggregate of approximately 39,109,093 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock and 5,933,333 private placement warrants. In addition, as described under “CSL Subscription Agreement” and “Fidelity Subscription Agreement” below, StrikeCo will also be required to register 13,200,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock issuable pursuant to the Subscription Agreements.

StrikeCo will be required, within 45 calendar days after the consummation of the business combination, to file a registration statement registering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the 75th calendar day (or 105th calendar day if the SEC notifies StrikeCo that it will “review” the registration statement. In addition, if an underwritten offering is reasonably expected to result in gross proceeds of at least $10 million, the holders of Registrable Securities will be entitled to demand no more than either (1) one underwritten offering during one 180-day period or (2) a total of three underwritten offerings initiated by (A) the Sponsor, (B) OEP or (C) Pate Holding. The holders of Registrable Securities will also have certain “piggy-back” rights with respect to the underwritten offerings initiated by StrikeCo or other StrikeCo stockholders.

StrikeCo will be required to bear all expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements and any such offerings, other than underwriting discounts and commission on the sale of Registrable Securities, transfer taxes, costs or expenses related to marketing efforts and the fees and expenses of counsel to holders of Registrable Securities. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement also will include customary provisions regarding indemnification and contribution.

Tax Receivable Agreement

At the Closing, StrikeCo, Strike, the Unit Sellers and the Seller Representative will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex H to this proxy statement. StrikeCo has recorded a TRA liability on the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheets (unaudited) of $10.8 million under the no redemption scenario on page 140 and $22.9 million under the maximum redemption scenario on page 150. The TRA liability is associated with the tax benefit from a step-up in the tax basis of Sentinel’s proportionate interest in the underlying assets of Strike to fair market value pursuant to an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder. Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Unit Sellers are entitled to 85% of the tax benefit from this step-up. Our estimate of the TRA liability represents 85% of this expected step-up multiplied by our estimated future federal and state income tax rates.

The TRA liabilities we have recorded in the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios presented on our Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheets (unaudited) differ due to the fact that the TRA liability is treated as contingent consideration as part of business combination accounting and recorded at fair value in the no redemption scenario. The contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved with any future changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Under the maximum redemption scenario, we recorded a TRA liability for 85% of the estimated realizable tax benefit from the aforementioned step-up in the tax basis of Sentinel’s proportionate interest in the underlying assets of Strike to fair market value. We recorded an increase to paid-in capital in an amount equal to the difference between the increase in the deferred tax assets and the TRA liability recorded. However, the TRA liability in the maximum redemption scenario is not reflected at fair value or discounted due to significant uncertainty in the ultimate future payments.

In addition, pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Continuing Members are entitled to 85% of the tax benefit from a fair market value tax basis step-up as a result of an exchange of their Retained Company Units after the Closing pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. For the reasons set forth below, the TRA liabilities recorded on the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheets (unaudited) on pages 140 and 150 do not reflect the amount of any liability as a result of any such post-Closing exchange.

The accounting for the effects of the Tax Receivable Agreement on the Company’s balance sheet upon each subsequent purchase or exchange of the Retained Company Units would be as follows:

•

We will record an increase in deferred tax assets for the estimated income tax effects of the increase in the tax basis of the assets owned by Sentinel based on enacted federal, state and local income tax rates at the date of the exchange or purchase and other existing tax attributes acquired. To the extent we estimate that we will not realize the full benefit represented by the deferred tax asset, based on an analysis of expected future earnings, we will reduce the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance.

•

We will record an increase in the TRA liability for 85% of the estimated realizable tax benefit resulting from (1) the increase in the tax basis of the purchased or exchanged interests as noted above and (2) certain other tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

•

We will record an increase to paid-in capital in an amount equal to the difference between the increase in deferred tax assets and the increase in the TRA liability due to the Unit Sellers under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The amounts to be recorded for both the deferred tax assets and the liability for our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on estimates. All of the effects of changes in any of the estimates after the date of the exchange or purchase will be included recognized in earnings. Similarly, the effect of subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates will be recognized in earnings.

We believe that the total amount of the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. However, we are not able to anticipate the expected timing of, or quantify the dollar amount of, these payments. The timing and amount of these payments will depend on a number of factors, including, among other things, (1) the amount and timing of future exchanges of Retained Company Units by Continuing Members, and the extent to which these exchanges are taxable, (2) the price per share of the StrikeCo Class A common stock at the time of any exchange, (3) the amount and timing of future income against which to offset the potential tax benefits resulting from our acquisition of equity interests of Strike from the Unit Sellers at Closing and from the subsequent exchange of Retained Company Units after the Closing pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and (4) the tax laws then in effect. For example, if all Continuing Members were to exchange their Retained Company Units immediately following the Closing, we expect that the tax savings we would be deemed to realize would be approximately $102.0 million in the aggregate over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement, and over such period we would be required to pay the Continuing Members 85% of such amount, or approximately $87.0 million, assuming, (1) all exchanges occurred on the same day; (2) an estimated price of $10.00 per share of StrikeCo Class A common stock; (3) a constant corporate tax rate of 23.8%; (4) that StrikeCo will have sufficient taxable income in each year to realize on a current basis all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement; and (5) no material changes in relevant tax law. In the event that StrikeCo is required to make payments under the Tax Receivable

Agreement, it expects to use cash received from Strike to fund these payment or to cause Strike to make any payment directly. To the extent StrikeCo is unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, these payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.

In general, StrikeCo may, with the prior written consent of a majority of the disinterested members of the board, terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement at any time by paying, or causing to be paid, to each applicable Unit Seller and Continuing Member an amount equal to the net present value of all payments that would be required to be paid to such persons after the date on which termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement is effective, determined by applying the applicable discount rate and set of valuation assumptions set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement. StrikeCo’s payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement also may be accelerated in the event that StrikeCo materially breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, in which case StrikeCo would be required to pay, among other things, an early termination payment calculated in a manner similar to the payment described in the immediately preceding sentence.

Lock-Up Agreements

The terms of the Lock-Up Agreement to be entered into by OEP will generally be the same, other than the lock-up period. The lock-up period for OEP will be until the earliest of (a) (x) with respect to one-third (1/3) of the shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock, the three-month anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) with respect to an additional one-third (1/3) of the shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock, the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) with respect to the remaining shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock, the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (b) the date following the Closing Date on which StrikeCo completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of StrikeCo’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of StrikeCo’s capital stock for cash, securities or other property. Further, from the Closing Date until the earliest of: (1) the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date and (2) the date following the Closing Date on which StrikeCo completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of StrikeCo’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of StrikeCo’s capital stock for cash, securities or other property, OEP will provide prior written notice to the board of directors of StrikeCo prior to selling, offering to sell, or contracting to sell any StrikeCo Class A common stock issued to OEP pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (“OEP Lock-Up Shares”), even though such OEP Lock-Up Shares are no longer subject to OEP’s lock-up agreement and will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such OEP Lock-Up Shares are sold in an orderly fashion in consultation with the board of directors of StrikeCo.

Subscription Agreements

In order to finance a portion of the Cash Consideration payable in the business combination and the costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, Sentinel entered into the Subscription Agreements, copies of which are attached as Annexes J and K hereto, each dated as of October 18, 2018, with certain investors, including (1) one or more investment funds controlled by CSL Capital Management, L.P. (“CSL Energy”), an energy services-focused private equity fund (the “CSL Subscription Agreement”) and (2) certain funds and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (the “Fidelity Investors” and, collectively with CSL Energy, the “Subscribed Investors”) (the “Fidelity Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Sentinel agreed to issue and sell in a private placement an aggregate of 13,200,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock to the Subscribed Investors for $10.00 per share, or an aggregate cash purchase price of $132.0 million (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement is expected to close concurrently with the Closing.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Subscribed Investors will be entitled to certain registration rights, subject to customary black-out periods and other limitations as set forth therein. In addition, the Fidelity Investors will be entitled to liquidated damages payable by Sentinel in certain circumstances, including in the event that (a) a resale registration statement for the Fidelity Investor’s shares of Class A common stock issued in the Private Placement has not been filed with the SEC within 45 calendar days following the Closing (the “Filing Deadline”), (b) the registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC by the 75th calendar day (or 105^th calendar day if the SEC notifies Sentinel that it will “review” the registration statement) following the Filing Deadline, (c) following the effectiveness of the registration statement, the registration statement ceases to remain continuously effective or the Fidelity Investors are not permitted to utilize the registration statement to resell their acquired shares of Class A common stock, subject to a special grace period for post-effective amendments or (d) after six months following the Closing, the Fidelity Investors who are not affiliates of Sentinel are unable to sell their acquired shares of Class A common stock without restriction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act as a result of Sentinel failing to file with the SEC required reports under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act such that Sentinel is not in compliance with Rule 144(e)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) (each such event referred to in clauses (a) through (d), a “Registration Default”). The Fidelity Subscription Agreement provides that liquidated damages will be payable monthly by Sentinel during the time of a Registration Default in the amount of 0.5% of the purchase price paid by the applicable Fidelity Investor for its acquired shares of Class A common stock, subject to a cap of 5.0%.

Contribution Agreement

In connection with its entry into the Transaction Agreement, on October 18, 2018, Sentinel entered into a purchase and contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Strike, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Strike (“Strike LLC”), CSL Energy Holdings III Corp, LLC (“CSL Holdings”) and Invacor Pipeline and Process Solutions, LLC, an entity under common control with CSL Holdings (“Invacor” and, together with CSL Holdings, the “Invacor Sellers”), pursuant to which (1) immediately prior to the Closing, the Invacor Sellers have agreed to transfer all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Pipelogic Interests”) in Pipelogic Services, L.L.C.

Background of the Business Combination

Sentinel is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 5, 2017, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On December 28, 2018, Sentinel changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “domestication”). As a result, on the effective date of the domestication, each of Sentinel’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares automatically converted by operation of law into one share of Sentinel Class A common stock and one share of Sentinel Class B common stock, respectively, and each of Sentinel’s outstanding warrants became warrants to acquire the corresponding number of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock. Accordingly, all references to Sentinel in this proxy statement refer to the post-domestication company. The business combination was the result of an extensive search for a potential transaction utilizing the global network and investing and operating experience of Sentinel’s management team and Board. The terms of the business combination were the result of extensive negotiations between Sentinel’s management team, the Sponsor, representatives of Strike, and One Equity Partners (“OEP”). The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations, the business combination and related transactions.

Prior to the consummation of Sentinel’s initial public offering, neither Sentinel, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with Sentinel.

After Sentinel’s initial public offering, Sentinel commenced an active search for prospective businesses and assets to acquire. Representatives of Sentinel, including the Chairman of Sentinel, Mr. Andrew Gould, the CEO of Sentinel, Mr. Krishna Shivram, and the Sponsor (who are affiliates of CSL Capital Management), (“CSL”), contacted and were contacted by a number of individuals and entities with respect to acquisition opportunities.

The prospectus for Sentinel’s initial public offering stated that it intended to use the following general criteria and guidelines to evaluate potential acquisition opportunities:

•

whether the target was fundamentally sound but Sentinel believes can achieve better results by leveraging the operating and financial experience of its chief executive officer and CSL;

•

whether the target could utilize the extensive networks and insights that Sentinel’s chief executive officer and CSL have built in the energy services and equipment industry;

•

whether the target was at an inflection point, such as requiring additional management expertise, was able to innovate through new operational techniques, or Sentinel believes it could drive improved financial performance;

•

whether the target exhibits unrecognized value or other characteristics, desirable returns on capital, and a need for capital to achieve the company’s growth strategy, that Sentinel believes have been misevaluated by the marketplace based on its analysis and due diligence review;

•

whether the target could enlarge its base of services and expand its geographical footprint; and

•

whether the target could offer an attractive risk-adjusted return for Sentinel’s stockholders.

In addition, during the course of their evaluation of potential acquisition targets, Sentinel’s management team and the Sponsor, in consultation with Sentinel’s board, identified additional investment criteria and guidelines that they believed would support a successful business combination. Specifically, Sentinel believed it was advisable to focus on prospective target businesses that: had a land-based, rather than offshore, business; conducted most of their business in North America so as to capitalize on Sentinel’s management’s and CSL’s extensive network and experience in the region; had a differentiated, rather than commoditized, business focus to decrease the post-business combination’s sensitivity to commodity price fluctuations; were focused on production as opposed to more speculative exploration-oriented companies; had strong and experienced management team; had owners who were focused on building the future value of the business and maintaining a significant continued equity interest in the post-business combination company, which would demonstrate their alignment with the interests of Sentinel’s stockholders; lacked excessive debt that could hinder the post-business combination company’s business going forward; had a favorable valuation as compared to other companies in the industry; and had an enterprise value of over $500 million.

Following Sentinel’s initial public offering, Sentinel’s management and the Sponsor:

•

considered and conducted an analysis of approximately seventy potential acquisition targets other than Strike; and

•

other than Strike, ultimately engaged in detailed discussions, due diligence and negotiations with nine target businesses (collectively, the “Potential Targets”) or their representatives, entering into non-disclosure agreements with all nine Potential Targets.

The nine Potential Targets included (1) a manufacturer of onshore and offshore oilfield equipment (“Company A”), (2) a compression services provider (“Company B”), (3) a manufacturer of production equipment and diamond cutters with onshore services (“Company C”), (4) an international asset integrity business (“Company D”), (5) an onshore oilfield services provider (“Company E”), (6) a U.S. based directional drilling provider (“Company F”), (7) a manufacturing company specializing in completions equipment (“Company G”), (8) a drill bit manufacturer (“Company H”), and (9) a global technology focused oilfield services provider (“Company I”).

As described in more detail below, Sentinel initiated conversations with Strike in April 2018. Prior to and concurrently with Sentinel’s negotiations with Strike, it also pursued the Potential Targets. In particular, Sentinel most actively pursued Companies A, F, G and H by conducting thorough due diligence, which included meeting with management teams, site visits and valuation submissions and discussions. Specifically, with respect to each of the Potential Targets, Sentinel’s management and the Sponsor:

•

Company A — conducted due diligence and submitted proposed valuations. Sentinel pursued Company A until June 2018 when discussions ceased because the seller of Company A was unwilling to proceed at the proposed valuation.

•

Company B — conducted due diligence. Sentinel continued discussions with Company B until June 2018 at which time Sentinel determined the target was too small for it to pursue. In addition, Sentinel’s management determined that Company B did not fit Sentinel’s investment criteria because it: did not

100

have a differentiated business; did not have a strong and experienced management team; did not have a favorable valuation as compared to other companies in its industry; and did not have an enterprise value over $500 million.

•

Company C — Sentinel pursued Company C until February 2018 when the seller decided to pursue alternative exit strategies.

•

Company D — conducted due diligence. Sentinel discussed opportunities with Company D until May 2018 when Sentinel’s management determined that Company D did not fit Sentinel’s investment criteria because: its business had too much international exposure; its owners were not concentrated on increasing its future value and maintaining a significant ownership position in the post-business combination company; it did not have a favorable valuation as compared to other companies in its industry; and it did not have an enterprise value over $500 million.

•

Company E — conducted due diligence and submitted a letter of intent. Sentinel pursued Company E until April 2018 when Sentinel’s management determined that Company E did not fit Sentinel’s investment criteria because: its business had a commoditized, rather than a differentiated focus; its business was not production-oriented; it lacked a strong, experienced management team; its business was sensitive to commodity price fluctuations; and it did not have an enterprise value over $500 million.

•

Company F — conducted due diligence and submitted a non-binding letter of intent. Sentinel pursued Company F until September 2018 when its management determined that the target’s ownership structure was too complicated to merit a transaction.

•

Company G — conducted due diligence. Sentinel’s management continued pursuing negotiations with Company G until October 2018 when Sentinel’s management decided the company was not well organized and was not yet ready to be a public company.

•

Company H — conducted due diligence and submitted non-binding offers. Sentinel’s management pursued Company H until September 2018 when Sentinel’s management determined that it was unable to meet the sellers’ desired valuation.

•

Company I — conducted due diligence. Sentinel continued discussions with Company I until June 2018 when Sentinel’s management determined the company’s valuation was too low to meet Sentinel’s investment criteria.

Based on the discussions and negotiations with the Potential Targets, Strike emerged as a frontrunner to pursue a business combination.

On April 6, 2018, Mr. Shivram met with Steve Pate, Cole Pate, Frank Victor-McCawley and Rob Jessen and representatives of J.P. Morgan, Strike’s advisor, to discuss the potential of a transaction involving Strike and Sentinel. Following the meeting, Mr. Shivram concluded that Sentinel should schedule a follow-up meeting with Strike to continue diligence efforts. Mr. Shivram subsequently communicated his observations of Strike to Sentinel’s board.

On May 2, 2018, Messrs. Gould, Shivram and representatives of CSL met with Messrs. S. Pate, C. Pate, Victor-McCawley and Jessen to receive further information from Strike and J.P. Morgan regarding a potential business combination. Messrs. S. Pate, C. Pate, Victor-McCawley and Jessen provided Sentinel and Messrs. Gould, Shivram and Leykum with information on Strike including its corporate history, the history of its operations and business lines, financial results and future growth plans. The parties agreed to make available additional diligence upon request.

Between May 2 and May 24, 2018, Sentinel and representatives of CSL conducted their initial due diligence on Strike based on the information provided by Strike and other publicly available sources. Sentinel also engaged Winston & Strawn, LLP (“Winston & Strawn”) as counsel to Sentinel. Based on Sentinel’s and CSL’s review of

101

the diligence materials, Sentinel and CSL determined that (1) Strike was well-positioned to capitalize on the North American infrastructure services market, (2) Strike had a robust set of internal controls and systems in place to serve as a platform for growth, (3) Strike was well-regarded among customers as a leading provider of integrity services, and (4) Strike was well-positioned to capitalize on the growing levels of North American oil and gas production, and, on the basis of the foregoing, concluded that Strike was a highly attractive target for Sentinel. Over the same time frame, J.P. Morgan, on behalf of Strike, informed Sentinel that Strike was actively considering strategic alternatives to a transaction with Sentinel but would like to continue furthering discussions with Sentinel at the same time.

On May 24, 2018, Messrs. Gould and Shivram met with Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen and Victor-McCawley along with a representative of J.P. Morgan to further discuss a potential transaction between Strike and Sentinel.

On May 30, 2018, Mr. Shivram sent J.P. Morgan a non-binding letter agreement that outlined the basic terms for a potential transaction whereby Sentinel would acquire an interest in Strike and OEP being bought out for an aggregate of $312,000,000 in cash while the minority owners would receive Sentinel shares. The letter agreement requested an exclusivity period, was subject to confirmatory due diligence and proposed an initial enterprise value. The terms of the letter agreement were determined jointly by Mr. Shivram, Sentinel’s board of directors and representatives of CSL. Mr. Shivram, Sentinel’s board of directors and CSL analyzed the net present value of estimates of future after-tax cash flows, precedent merger and acquisition transaction metrics and public company trading metrics prepared internally by Sentinel and CSL in determining a reasonable enterprise value for the basis of beginning negotiations with Strike.

On June 20, 2018, Mr. Shivram met with Messrs. S. Pate, C. Pate and Victor-McCawley to discuss the details of the non-binding letter agreement and the timeline and mechanics of consummating a transaction between Strike and Sentinel. Among other things, the representatives of Strike and Sentinel discussed the regulations and requirements governing public companies and the level to which current owners of Strike would be shareholders in the surviving entity following the transaction. Specifically, a tentative understanding was reached that OEP would receive cash for 75% of its ownership interests in Strike and retain the balance, and that the Pate family and current Strike management team would receive cash for 25% of their respective ownership interests in Strike and retain the balance, which they would retain for a period of at least one year following the closing of the potential business combination.

On July 1, 2018, J.P. Morgan on behalf of Strike responded to Mr. Shivram with further clarifications on the points discussed in the June 20, 2018 meeting.

On July 12, 2018, J.P. Morgan, on behalf of Strike, contacted Mr. Shivram stating that Strike had received a better monetary offer from another party, but was interested in continuing discussions regarding a business combination with Sentinel due to the high quality of Sentinel’s board and management, provided Sentinel could improve on its previous offer. Mr. Shivram provided the Sentinel board of directors with additional information and informed them that a refinement of the original letter agreement would be required for Strike to continue considering a business combination with Sentinel.

On July 18, 2018, J.P. Morgan, on behalf of Strike, contacted Mr. Shivram and delivered a counter to Sentinel’s original proposed valuation. The counterproposal delivered by J.P. Morgan included a higher enterprise value than initially proposed by Mr. Shivram.

On July 20, 2018, Mr. Shivram delivered a revised offer to Strike. The revised offer contained an enterprise value higher than what Mr. Shivram had proposed in earlier negotiations, but was lower than what Strike, through J.P. Morgan, counterproposed on July 18, 2018.

On July 23, 2018, J.P. Morgan, on behalf of Strike, communicated to Mr. Shivram that Strike was willing to begin negotiations of definitive transaction agreements founded on Sentinel’s latest proposal.

102

On July 27, 2018, Mr. Shivram and representatives of CSL met with members of Strike’s management team to further diligence Strike and meet with members of Strike’s executive management team. In this day-long meeting, Strike provided information related to each of its business units, financial performance and expected financial performance as well as strategy and growth planning for the future business. Mr. Shivram and representatives of CSL were given the opportunity to meet with key leaders of the various business units and ask detailed diligence questions of the underlying business and future growth drivers.

On August 1, 2018, Mr. Shivram convened a meeting of the board of directors of Sentinel to discuss the developments pertaining to Strike, among other targets.

Between August 2 and August 13, 2018, Sentinel and members of CSL conducted extensive due diligence on Strike and, based upon due diligence findings, concluded that an enterprise value lower than that proposed on July 20, 2018 was appropriate based on their analysis of the net present value of estimates of future after-tax cash flows, precedent merger and acquisition transaction metrics and public company trading metrics prepared internally by Sentinel and CSL.

On August 13, 2018, Mr. Shivram presented the revised proposal to Sentinel’s board of directors. Sentinel’s board unanimously approved the proposal.

On the morning of August 14, 2018, Mr. Shivram and representatives of CSL met with Mr. Pate and representatives of OEP for a breakfast meeting to further discuss the terms of the proposed business combination. Later that day, Mr. Shivram delivered the proposal to Strike. Sentinel’s proposal was discussed at length during Strike’s board meeting and Strike came back to Sentinel with a variety of proposed changes including, changes to the proposed valuation, the extent to which the existing owners of Strike (including OEP, the Pate family, Strike’s current management team and the beneficiaries of Strike’s existing employee incentive plan) received cash for their membership interests in Strike, the length of the holding period for the retained equity, the amount of working capital to be delivered with the business, the specific key employees that would stay on to manage the company, the expected financing for the transaction by Sentinel, the expected timeline for closing the proposed business combination, the required approvals for the proposed business combination, the expected board composition of the post-business combination company, including specific individuals that would be on the board. Sentinel was amenable to each of the proposed changes.

On August 21, 2018, Strike countersigned the written term sheet with Sentinel.

Between August 22 and September 18, 2018, Mr. Gould, Mr. Shivram, and members of CSL worked with Strike to compile and refine the investor presentation that would be used for the Private Placement roadshow. JP Morgan and Citi also assisted based on their roles as advisors for Strike and Sentinel, respectively. The goal of the Private Placement roadshow was not only to raise capital from new investors but to preview the proposed business combination with several of Sentinel’s largest initial investors. During this time, Jones Day, counsel to OEP, and Winston & Strawn, counsel to Sentinel, began drafting the purchase agreement and related transaction documents as well as a proxy statement and Sentinel, CSL, OEP, and Strike provided comments. Additionally, Mr. Shivram and CSL worked with Strike to conduct confirmatory due diligence on Strike through numerous conference calls, visits to J.P. Morgan’s downtown Houston office, visits to Strike’s Woodlands office, and a facility visit to Strike’s Baytown field office. During this time, Sentinel, Strike and representatives of CSL decided that Pipelogic, a pipe integrity services business owned by entities under common control with CSL, would have higher growth potential as part of Strike rather than as its own company and that Strike could offer a more complete range of services and technology to Pipelogic’s customer base. Following this determination, Sentinel and Strike engaged in further due diligence of Pipelogic.

On August 30, 2018, Mr. Shivram and representatives of CSL met with Messrs. S. Pate, C. Pate and Victor-McCawley to initiate discussion around the contribution of Pipelogic to Sentinel concurrently with the closing of the business combination. Strike acknowledged CSL’s view that a contribution of Pipelogic would be synergistic for Strike as Pipelogic was active in integrity services, including pipeline cleaning and in-line inspection.

103

On September 10, 2018, Strike’s management team was provided with an information packet detailing out the various aspects of the Pipelogic business and the growth plans in progress. The information packet highlighted a potential valuation range of $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 for Pipelogic and the broader corporate opportunity. The Strike team assigned an internal team to conduct due diligence and come up with a view on valuation.

On September 12, 2018, the Strike management team, which included Messrs. S. Pate and C. Pate, had an introductory dinner with the Pipelogic management wherein the Strike management team was able to ask detailed due diligence questions on the business, growth prospects, and collaboration opportunities.

On the morning of September 19, 2018, Strike management, Sentinel and representatives of CSL agreed to expand their ongoing negotiations to re-evaluate the purchase price and other deal terms. On the afternoon of September 19th, Mr. Shivram communicated a proposed reduction in enterprise value in person to Mr. Pate. The day ended with no valuation agreed to and the parties agreed to continue discussions over the weekend. During the course of valuing Strike, Sentinel identified nine comparable public companies (collectively, the “Comparable Companies”), including Quanta Services Inc. (NYSE: PWR), MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ), Primoris Services Corp. (Nasdaq: PRIM), SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. (TSE: SNC.TO), Team, Inc. (NYSE: TISI), Mistras Group Inc. (NYSE: MG), Shawcor Ltd. (TSE: SCL.TO), Aegion Corp. (Nasdaq: AEGN) and Emcor Group Inc. (NYSE: EME). It was determined that at the time of announcement, the median 2018 and 2019 EBITDA multiples for the Comparable Companies was 9X and 7.5X, respectively. Based on Strike’s 2018 and 2019 EBITDA projections and taking into account the expanded equity base, Strike was valued at 6.3X its 2018 EBITDA and 5.4X its 2019 EBITDA, which represented a discount to the group of Comparable Companies of 30% and 28%, respectively. After considering the discount, OEP decided to receive cash for only 20% of its current ownership position in Strike and retain the balance after closing.

On September 20, 2018, representatives of OEP communicated to Mr. Shivram a revised enterprise value higher than proposed by Mr. Shivram on September 19, 2018.

On September 23, 2018, Mr. Shivram, representatives of OEP, and Strike held a call during which Sentinel, OEP and Strike agreed to a lower enterprise value. The agreed upon enterprise value for Strike (without taking into account the Sentinel founder shares and the Private Placement) was $750 million. After reducing the enterprise value for Strike’s estimated net debt of $320 million, the equity value was determined to be $430 million. Of this equity value, OEP held 54.3% of the equity, valued at $233.5 million, and agreed to receive cash for 20% of their holdings; the Pate family, together with key identified management team members, owned 35.1% of the equity, valued at $150.9 million, and agreed to receive cash for 25% of their holdings; a specific identified employee owned 2.3% of the equity, valued at $10 million, and agreed to receive cash for 60% of his holdings; another specific identified employee owned 1.6% of the equity, valued at $6.7 million, and agreed to receive cash for 75% of his holdings; and finally, the beneficiaries of Strike’s employee incentive plan collectively owned 6.7% of the equity, valued at $28.9 million, and agreed to receive cash for 100% of their holdings. Taking into account the value of the equity stake and the amount of cash being received by each holder, the overall cash payment was determined to be $124.4 million.

After taking into account the $124.4 million cash payment, the residual equity value of Strike was determined to be $305.6 million, of which $186.8 million was held by OEP and $118.8 million was held by the Pate family, Strike’s management team and the two identified employees, collectively, which equates to 30.6 million shares of StrikeCo common stock at a valuation of $10.00 per share.

To accommodate the revised enterprise value, the benefits of an “Up-C” structure were discussed, including, allowing Strike’s current owners to defer certain of their taxes at the closing of the proposed business combination until the time they exchange their StrikeCo Class B common stock and Company Units into StrikeCo Class A common stock pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. It was determined that, given the current owners’ significant equity retention, an Up-C structure would be a reasonable and favorable structure to adopt. As such, the Up-C structure was agreed upon.

104

From September 24th through October 1, 2018, Sentinel, CSL, Strike, JP Morgan, and Citi worked to refine the Private Placement roadshow presentation through several in person meetings at Strike’s Woodlands office.

On October 1, 2018, Sentinel launched the four-day Private Placement roadshow with a target raise of $100,000,000, visiting eight investors in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Baltimore, New York and Boston, which included a mix of larger existing Sentinel shareholders and also new investors. Proceeds from the Private Placement would be used to repay Strike indebtedness and to add growth capital to the balance sheet. On October 5, 2018, Sentinel received a non-binding commitment of $110,000,000 from Fidelity. On October 10th, the Private Placement commitment window ended with no additional commitments. On or about this date Strike, Sentinel and CSL tentatively agreed that CSL would contribute approximately $40 million to the business combination, consisting of all the equity of Pipelogic at a to-be-agreed upon valuation, with the remainder as a subscription for shares of common stock of StrikeCo at $10.00 per share. In parallel, the Strike team continued their internal due diligence on Pipelogic, including an in-person all-afternoon session at Strike’s office on October 3, 2018 with Pipelogic management.

From October 1 through October 18, 2018, Sentinel, CSL, Strike and OEP continued to negotiate various points, including, but not limited to, the Strike purchase agreement and other key transaction related documents, the net working capital peg, Strike management employment agreements, and the valuation of Pipelogic. In parallel, all parties continued the drafting of the proxy statement with Jones Day and Winston & Strawn over numerous calls.

On October 17, 2018, the final points of the transaction were negotiated during a six-hour negotiation at Strike’s Woodlands office. During this session, the parties agreed to a valuation for Pipelogic of $18,000,000.

On October 18, 2018, the Sentinel board of directors reviewed the final form of the transaction agreements and approved the business combination.

On October 19, 2018, Sentinel announced the agreement to acquire a majority of the equity interests of Strike.

Sentinel’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

Sentinel’s board of directors considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the business combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, Sentinel’s board of directors, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Individual members of Sentinel’s board of directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of Sentinel’s reasons for the board of directors’ approval of the business combination, and all other information presented in this section, is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Before reaching its decision, Sentinel’s board of directors reviewed the results of the due diligence conducted by its management, which included:

•

research on comparable public companies;

•

extensive meetings and calls with Strike’s management team regarding operations and forecasts;

•

extensive meetings and calls with OEP regarding Strike;

•

multiple visits to Strike’s headquarters in Woodlands, Texas;

•

a visit to Strike’s field office in Baytown, Texas;

•

review of Strike’s material contracts, financial, tax, legal, and accounting due diligence;

105

•

consultation with Sentinel’s management and legal and financial advisors and industry experts;

•

financial and valuation analysis of Strike and the business combinations;

•

Strike’s audited and unaudited financial statements; and

•

financial projections provided by Strike management team;

The factors considered by the board of directors include, but are not limited to, the following:

Strike positively met several criteria for various investments themes that management viewed as favorable. Sentinel’s management team determined that it would focus on land-based businesses, rather than offshore; North America-based businesses, rather than international; differentiated businesses, rather than commoditized ones; private company targets as opposed to carve-outs; and production oriented businesses, rather than exploration focused ones. The acquisition of Strike fulfills all of these criteria. Strike is a U.S. land focused pipeline and facilities infrastructure services business, directly linked with production. It is vastly differentiated in its footprint and breadth of technical capabilities and services offered. It is a private business that now needs access to a larger pool of capital to capitalize on multiple growth opportunities that are available in an industry that is slated to have secular growth tailwinds for a number of years. Being a large pure play pipeline and facilities infrastructure services business, and working off of a large sticky and renewable backlog that has been growing over time, Strike’s business makes this investment extremely defensible.

Favorable market dynamics provide significant tail winds for Strike’s continued growth. As the pipeline infrastructure in place in the U.S. continues to age, with over 50% of the installed pipelines more than 50 years old, the need for maintenance is ever-growing. These factors, coupled with increasing regulation, are making the pipeline infrastructure compliance programs more onerous, technical and difficult to manage for midstream operators. With increasing environmental responsibilities being imposed on operators, the current regulatory footprint, which covers almost a third of the installed pipeline infrastructure, is expected to grow. Additional drivers include customer and midstream asset consolidation through customer M&A and also vendor consolidation programs by customers. Furthermore, Independent Oil Companies (“IOCs”), with their enhanced focus on Safety and Operational Execution, and key financial sponsors, with little operational capability or experience, have entered the midstream market and are in need of professional one-source service providers. Sentinel believes that these dynamics are favorable for Strike, who with its high quality service delivery and safety track record, nationwide footprint and wide array of technical services, is well poised to benefit from all of these growth drivers.

Strike has a proven track record of organic growth coupled with strategic M&A. Strike was formed in 2003 in the wake of the passage of the Pipeline Safety Act of 2002. The founders, led by CEO Steve Pate, recognized the market opportunity for a high-performance, safety-focused company that clients would trust to comply with these new regulations. Starting small and gaining the customers’ trust over time on the back of a strong performance track record, the management team expanded operations as a maintenance services company, which still remains at the core of Strike’s offerings. As its capabilities grew over time, several customers provided Strike with opportunities to manage their major capital projects, providing Strike an entry into the Major Projects market in 2012. From 2007 through 2017, Strike’s revenue grew at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate of 35%, with more than 75% of this growth being organic. Strike’s revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth for the period 2014-2018 spanning the downcycle has exceeded its identified public comparatives, with 2018 revenue and Further Adjusted EBITDA estimated (as of the date that the board of directors approved the business combination) at $1.8 billion and $134 million, respectively (a significant milestone for a 15-year-old company). Over the last several years, Strike has also acquired two regional infrastructure service providers – one expanded the footprint into the Rockies north through the Bakken and the other solidified Strike’s north eastern footprint.

Strike is led by an exceptional management team that has stayed true to its core over the years. Strike was started 15 years ago by Steve Pate, who is still the CEO of Strike, and other Strike founders. Strike had its beginnings in the maintenance-focused IIS segment) which is still over 60% of the overall Company revenue and

106

the segment that management will continue to focus on for future growth. The management team’s dedication to maintaining an extremely high focus on safety and service delivery, their ability to attract, retain and develop entrepreneurial talent while exercising very strong risk mitigation controls on their business has allowed them to grow aggressively, but with control. Of particular note is their conservative attitude towards risk management and consequently, contractual structures.

Strike serves a widely-diversified customer base in the upstream, midstream and downstream markets. Strike has more than 400 master service agreements with its customers for the IIS segment and the majority of this revenue base renews itself at about 88% annually. This presents a highly reliable, sticky business that continues to enjoy a secular growth phase. The extensive footprint that Strike has developed over the years has also allowed it to become a nationwide provider of midstream infrastructure services. This allows its customers to work with a single-source provider rather than with a fragmented supplier base. This local and regional fragmentation presents the opportunity to leverage their consolidation approach going forward. Additionally, the contract mix at Strike has a relatively low concentration of lump sum contracts, reflecting Strike’s desire to mitigate risk. The bulk of the contracts are based on time & materials, or unit price basis with some being based on a cost-plus methodology. In summary, the Strike team are service providers who execute their customers’ decisions.

Strike is well-positioned to become a successful company in the public markets. As Strike has grown over the years, not only did Strike establish a strong “One Strike” common culture, but also aggressively adopted technology and developed a common platform to provide a strong centralized hub of administrative services to the field operations, including finance, IT, HR, legal, contract management and other such services, allowing Strike to develop a unified “look and feel” nationally in front of customers and employees. In addition, this approach liberates the field operations to focus exclusively on safety, operations execution, customers and delivering financial results. This investment in a common platform will allow Strike to scale up the business significantly without adding much additional G&A costs, while retaining a superior ability to integrate acquired businesses and build on the “One Strike” image. Sentinel believes that Strike presents an opportunity with a sound business model with room to grow, a business well-positioned to benefit from Sentinel team’s background, a business at an inflection point, a potential for expansion geographically and technically, and all this coupled with a strong, healthy balance sheet.

The transaction is attractively structured. The current owners of Strike, namely the Strike founders along with senior management and OEP, have agreed to roll over 75% and 80%, respectively of their current holdings, signifying their expectation of a higher future valuation. At closing, their combined holdings will exceed 34%. Because of the high equity roll-over, and the Private Placement investment led by Fidelity, Strike expects to pay down the entire forecasted net debt of Strike at closing and have a net cash position of $33,000,000 prior to paying transaction-related expenses. Consequently, at closing, Strike is expected to have a strong balance sheet, capable of supporting several growth initiatives.

Terms of the Contribution Agreement for Pipelogic Services. Sentinel’s board of directors, including the audit committee, reviewed the financial and other terms of the Contribution Agreement for Pipelogic Services and determined that they were the product of arm’s-length negotiations among the parties.

Stockholder approval. The Sentinel board of directors considered the fact that in connection with the business combination Sentinel stockholders have the option to (1) remain stockholders of the combined company, (2) sell their shares on the open market or (3) redeem their shares for the per share amount held in the Trust Account.

In the course of its deliberations, the Sentinel board of directors also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative reasons relevant to the transaction, including the following:

•

Oil, natural gas and NGL prices are volatile. A sustained decline in oil, natural gas and NGL prices could adversely affect Strike’s business, financial condition and results of operations and its ability to meet its capital expenditure obligations and financial commitments.

107

•

Future disruptions in the U.S. financial and credit markets or increases in the costs of capital could have an adverse impact on Strike’s business.

•

Strike’s future projections are based on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate. Any material inaccuracies in these projections or underlying assumptions could materially affect the valuation and future performance of the stock.

•

A portion of Strike’s revenue is dependent on successfully obtaining contracts through a bid process and there is a risk of losing such contracts.

•

Strike’s existing businesses are lower margin and Strike may not be able to improve the margins within the existing services or grow into higher margin service lines.

•

Strike’s future growth plans require capital that it may be unable to obtain, which could lead to a decline in its ability to grow the business.

•

Strike could face intense competition and competitive pressures from other companies worldwide in the industries in which it operates.

•

Strike may not be able to acquire and integrate new M&A opportunities as successfully as it has done in the past.

•

Strike’s operations are subject to operational hazards for which it may not be adequately insured.

•

Any failure by Strike to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations could result in governmental authorities taking actions that adversely affect its operations and financial condition.

•

The challenges resulting from members of senior management of Strike not remaining with Strike following the Closing.

•

The risk that other key employees of Strike might not remain with Strike following the Closing.

•

The challenge of attracting and retaining senior management personnel.

•

The risk that the business combination might not be consummated in a timely manner or that the Closing might not occur despite the companies’ efforts, including by reason of a failure to obtain the approval of Strike’s stockholders.

•

The risk that the Strike Approval Period may not be sufficient time to complete the business combination.

•

The significant fees and expenses associated with completing the business combination and the other related Transactions and the substantial time and effort of management required to complete the business combination.

After considering the foregoing potentially negative and potentially positive reasons, the Sentinel board of directors concluded, in its business judgment, that the potentially positive reasons relating to the business combination and the other related Transactions outweighed the potentially negative reasons. In connection with its deliberations, Sentinel’s board of directors did not consider the fairness of the consideration to be paid by it in the business combination to any person other than Strike.

108

Certain Projected Financial Information

In connection with its consideration of the potential combination, Sentinel’s board of directors were provided with prospective financial information prepared by management of Strike (collectively, the “Projections”).

The Projections are included in this proxy statement solely to provide Sentinel’s stockholders access to information made available in connection with the Sentinel’s board of directors’ consideration of the proposed business combination. The Projections should not be viewed as public guidance. Furthermore, the Projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the dates on which the Projections were prepared, which was generally September 2018.

The Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines established by the SEC or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to prospective financial information. The Projections have not been audited. Neither the independent registered public accounting firms of Strike or Sentinel nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the Projections contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or their achievability, and the independent accounting firms of Sentinel and Strike assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the Projections.

In the view of Strike’s management, the Projections were prepared on a reasonable basis, reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of Strike and presented, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of Strike.

The Projections were developed by Strike’s management and considered various material assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

Strike’s current backlog as of the date of the Projections coupled with management estimates of anticipated future revenues and project awards in future periods consistent with recent years and management experience;

•

gross profit assumptions pertinent to each segment of the business along with other relevant considerations;

•

indirect and overhead expenses relating to corporate and field operations necessary to operate the business;

•

an expectation that working capital levels would fluctuate proportionately with revenue and expenses, and, in the aggregate, remain relatively stable as a percentage of revenues subject to certain variables;

•

no material acquisitions or divestures; and

•

other general business and market assumptions, including maintaining strong relationships with its current customers; the historical performance of Strike; economic growth consistent with recent years, including continued expansion and growth in new regional markets, new services, and new capabilities; demand for pipeline infrastructure maintenance continuing to grow consistent with recent years; demand for new pipeline infrastructure remaining strong; Strike’s current and anticipated market position relative to its peers; and other future prospects of Strike as a whole.

While presented with numerical specificity, the Projections are forward-looking and reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to future industry performance under various industry scenarios as well as assumptions for competition, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and matters specific to the businesses of Strike, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the preparing parties’ control including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

109

The Projections were prepared solely for internal use to assist Sentinel in its evaluation of Strike and the business combination. Strike has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the projections to anyone, including Sentinel. Neither Strike’s management nor its representatives has made or makes any representations to any person regarding the ultimate performance of Strike relative to the Projections. The Projections are not fact. The Projections are not a guarantee of actual future performance. The future financial results of Strike may differ materially from those expressed in the Projections due to factors beyond Strike’s ability to control or predict.

The Projections are not included in this proxy statement in order to induce any Sentinel stockholders to vote in favor of any of the proposals at the special meeting.

Certain of the measures included in the Projections arenon-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Further Adjusted EBITDA, Unleveredpre-tax free cash flow and free cash flow conversion.Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, andnon-GAAP financial measures as used by Strike are not reported by all of their competitors and may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. For example, solely for 2018E below, Further Adjusted EBITDA includes $17.9 million adjustment, based on Strike’s management’s estimates, related to aone-time commercial contract settlement that occurred in the third quarter of 2018 in anticipation of the business combination. Sentinel and Strike considered this settlement amount relevant in evaluating Strike’s financial results in connection with negotiating the business combination; however, Strike does not intend to present Further Adjusted EBITDA as part of its historical financial results following the consummation of the business combination.

We encourage you to review the financial statements of Strike included in this proxy statement, as well as the financial information in the sections entitled“Selected Historical Financial Information of Strike” and“Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Financial Information of Strike” in this proxy statement and to not rely on any single financial measure.

Neither Sentinel nor Strike or any of their respective affiliates intends to, and, except to the extent required by applicable law, each of them expressly disclaims any obligation to, update, revise or correct the Projections to reflect circumstances existing or arising after the date such Projections were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Projections are shown to be in error or any of the Projections otherwise would not be realized.

Further Adjusted EBITDA is shown for 2018E only and is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, plus a $17.9 million adjustment, based on Strike’s management’s estimates, related to a one-time commercial contract settlement that occurred in the third quarter of 2018 in anticipation of the business combination. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and also excludes(a) non-cash charges related to compensation expense recognized under stock option plans or otherwise accrued or realized from any deferred equity compensation plan or grants of equity appreciation or similar rights, equity options, restricted equity or other similar rights officers, directors, and employees, and(b) non-recurring fees, cash charges and other cash expenses made or incurred in connection with the contemplated business combination that are paid or otherwise accounted for.

Certain Benefits of Sentinel’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of Sentinel’s board of directors in favor of the business combination, it should be noted that directors and officers of Sentinel have interests in the business combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Sentinel’s stockholders. These interests include:

•

the continuation of five directors, including two current independent directors, of Sentinel as members of the board of directors of StrikeCo;

•

the continued indemnification of former and current directors and officers of Sentinel and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the business combination.

In addition, certain of Sentinel’s founders, directors and entities affiliated with certain of Sentinel’s directors and executive officers, own shares of Sentinel common stock that were issued prior to Sentinel’s initial public offering. Such purchasers have waived their right to receive distributions with respect to the shares of Sentinel Class B common stock held by them upon Sentinel’s liquidation which will occur if we are unable to complete an initial business combination by November 7, 2019. Accordingly, the shares of Sentinel Class B common stock will be worthless if Sentinel is forced to liquidate. In addition, in the event of Sentinel’s liquidation, Sentinel’s warrants, including the private placement warrants held by certain of Sentinel’s directors and executive officers, will expire worthless. These financial interests of the founders, officers and directors and entities affiliated with them may have influenced their decision to approve the business combination. You should consider these interests when evaluating the business combination and the recommendation of Sentinel’s board of directors to vote in favor of the business combination proposal and other proposals to be presented to the stockholders.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

111

of directors concluded that the business combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for its initial public offering, including that the business of Strike had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account at the time of execution of the Transaction Agreement.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of Sentinel’s board of directors in favor of approval of the business combination proposal, you should keep in mind that Sentinel’s initial stockholders, including its directors and executive officers, and Strike’s current owners, have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to those of Sentinel stockholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

•

the fact that our initial stockholders have waived their right to redeem any of the founder shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

•

if the trust account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third- party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

•

the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the business combination;

•

the fact that certain current owners of Strike who will become directors and executive officers of StrikeCo following the business combination, including Steven V. Pate who will become the Chief

112

Executive Officer of StrikeCo, are expected to retain approximately 9.2 million Retained Company Units for which they will be issued the same number of shares of StrikeCo Class B Common Stock at Closing, which they may exchange for shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement;

•

Potential Purchases of Public Shares and/or Warrants

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Sentinel or its securities, the Sentinel initial stockholders, Strike and/or its affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Sentinel common stock or vote their shares in favor of the business combination proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that (1) the proposals presented to stockholders for approval at the special meeting are approved and/or (2) that Sentinel satisfy the minimum cash condition. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the business combination. This may result in the completion of our business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the business combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. As of the date of this proxy statement, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Sentinel will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the special meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Name; Headquarters

The name of the post-combination company after the business combination will be Strike, Inc. and our headquarters will be located at 1800 Hughes Landing Blvd., Suite 500, The Woodlands, TX 77380.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

114

will be able to exercise control of the combined company. Depending on the ultimate number of redemptions as of the closing date, the merger will be accounted for as follows:

•

Sentinel pays cash and equity consideration for a majority of the members’ equity in Strike;

•

The board of directors will consist of seven directors. Sentinel has control of the chairmanship and the ability to appoint five of the seven board members; and

•

The existing stockholders of Sentinel will retain relatively more voting rights in the combined company than the historical Strike unitholders.

•

Strike management will hold key senior management positions;

•

The historical Strike unitholders will hold the majority voting interest in the combined company; and

•

The board of directors are subject to annual election by majority vote, and Strike would have the ability to control the combined company through its voting interests and management.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations for holders of our shares of Sentinel Class A common stock that elect to have their Sentinel Class A common stock redeemed for cash if the business combination is completed. This discussion applies only to Sentinel Class A common stock that is held as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, such as:

•

financial institutions;

•

insurance companies;

•

dealers or traders in securities subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to shares of Sentinel Class A common stock;

•

persons holding Sentinel Class A common stock as part of a “straddle,” hedge, integrated transaction or similar transaction;

•

U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•

U.S. expatriates;

•

Regulated investment companies (RICs) or real estate investment trusts (REITS);

•

Persons subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code;

115

•

partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

•

tax-exempt entities.

If you are a partnership (or other pass-through entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of your partners (or other owners) will generally depend on the status of the partners and your activities.

This discussion is based on the Code and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this proxy statement may affect the tax consequences described herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and estate taxes).

You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.

Redemption of Sentinel Class A Common Stock

In the event that a holder’s shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this proxy statement under the section entitled “Special Meeting — Redemption Rights,” the treatment of the redemption for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or other exchange of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock, a U.S. holder will be treated as described below under the section entitled “U.S. holders — Gainor Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Sentinel Class A Common Stock,” and a Non-U.S. holder will be treated as described under the section entitled “Non-U.S. holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchangeor Other Taxable Disposition of Sentinel Class A Common Stock.” If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock, a holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences to a U.S. holder described below under the section entitled “U.S. holders — Taxation of Distributions,” and the tax consequences to a non-U.S. holder described below under the section entitled “Non-U.S. holders — Taxation of Distributions.”

Whether a redemption of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the redeemed holder before and after the redemption (including any stock constructively owned by the holder as a result of owning private placement warrants or public warrants and any of our stock that a holder would directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the business combination) relative to all of our shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Sentinel Class A common stock generally will be treated as a sale of Sentinel Class A common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (1) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the holder, (2) results in a “complete termination” of the holder’s interest in us or (3) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests result in a redemption qualifying for sale treatment, a holder takes into account not only shares of our stock actually owned by the holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it. A holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the holder has an interest or that have an interest in such holder, as well as any stock that the holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Sentinel Class A common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the private placement warrants or the public warrants. Moreover, any of our stock that a holder directly or constructively acquires pursuant to the business combination generally should be included in determining the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption.

116

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately following the redemption of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock must, among other requirements, be less than eighty percent (80%) of the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account both redemptions by other holders of Sentinel Class A common stock and the Sentinel Class A common stock to be issued pursuant to the business combination). There will be a complete termination of a holder’s interest if either (1) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the holder are redeemed or (2) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the holder are redeemed and the holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of Sentinel Class A common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock will be treated as a corporate distribution to the redeemed holder and the tax effects to such U.S. holder will be as described below under the section entitled “U.S. holders — Taxation of Distributions,” and the tax effects to such Non-U.S. holder will be as described below under the section entitled “Non-U.S. holders — Taxation of Distributions.” After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the holder in the redeemed Sentinel Class A common stock will be added to the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, to the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by it.

A holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “U.S. holder.” A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our shares of Sentinel Class A common stock who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; or

•

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation purposes regardless of its source; or

•

an entity treated as a trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust.

Taxation of Distributions. If our redemption of a U.S. holder’s shares of Sentinel Class A common stock is treated as a distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled “Redemption of Sentinel Class A common stock,” such distributions generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Sentinel Class A common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Sentinel Class A common stock and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “U.S. holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Sentinel Class A Common Stock.”

117

Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Sentinel Class A common stock described in this proxy statement may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Sentinel Class A common stock. If our redemption of a U.S. holder’s shares of Sentinel Class A common stock is treated as a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition, as discussed above under the section entitled “Redemption of Sentinel Class A common stock,” a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Sentinel Class A common stock redeemed. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Sentinel Class A common stock so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the Sentinel Class A common stock described in this proxy statement may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder is an amount equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (2) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Sentinel Class A common stock so disposed of. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Sentinel Class A common stock generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost less any prior distributions paid to such U.S. holder with respect to its shares of Sentinel Class A common stock treated as a return of capital.

U.S. holders who hold different blocks of Sentinel Class A common stock (shares of Sentinel Class A common stock purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. holder.” A Non-U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our Sentinel Class A common stock who, or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

a non-resident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;

•

a foreign corporation; or

•

an estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder.

Taxation of Distributions. If our redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s shares of Sentinel Class A common stock is treated as distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled “Redemption of Sentinel Class A common stock,” to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such distribution will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of thirty percent (30%), unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such

118

reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Sentinel Class A common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Sentinel Class A common stock, which will be treated as described below under the section entitled “Non-U.S. holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Sentinel Class A Common Stock.”

The withholding tax does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides an IRSForm W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of thirty percent (30%) (or a lower applicable treaty rate).

Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Sentinel Class A common stock. If our redemption of a U.S. holder’s shares of Sentinel Class A common stock is treated as a sale or other taxable disposition, as discussed above under the section entitled “Redemption of Sentinel Class A common stock,” a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Sentinel Class A common stock, unless:

•

the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. holder);

•

such Non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the disposition takes place and has a “tax home” in the United States; or

•

we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held our Sentinel Class A common stock.

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a thirty percent (30%) rate (or lower treaty rate). If the second bullet point applies to a Non-U.S. holder, such Non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. tax on such Non-U.S. holder’s net capital gain for such year (including any gain realized in connection with the redemption) at a tax rate of thirty percent (30%).

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares of our Sentinel Class A common stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of our Sentinel Class A common stock (we would be treated as a buyer with respect to a redemption of Sentinel Class A common stock) may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount realized upon such disposition.

We believe that we are not and have not been at any time since our formation a United States real property holding corporation and we do not expect to be a United States real property holding corporation immediately after the business combination is completed.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to our Sentinel Class A common stock and proceeds from the sale, taxable exchange or taxable redemption of our Sentinel Class A common stock may be subject to information reporting

119

to the IRS and possible United States backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder’s United States federal income tax liability, and a holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

FATCA Withholding Taxes

Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of thirty percent (30%) on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends received pursuant to a redemption of stock) on our Sentinel Class A common stock and will impose withholding of thirty percent (30%) on payments of gross proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our Sentinel Class A common stock made after December 31, 2018, to stockholders that fail to meet prescribed information reporting or certification requirements. In general, no such withholding will be required with respect to a U.S. holder or an individual Non-U.S. holder that timely provides the certifications required on a valid IRS Form W-9 or W-8, respectively. Holders potentially subject to withholding include “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution generally will be entitled to a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the effects of FATCA on a redemption of Sentinel Class A common stock.

Vote Required for Approval

The closing of the business combination is conditioned on the approval of the business combination proposal, the charter proposals and the stock issuance proposal at the special meeting. The business combination proposal is conditioned on the approval of the charter proposals and the stock issuance proposal.

This business combination proposal (and consequently, the Transaction Agreement and the business combination) will be approved and adopted only if the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are voted in person or by proxy at the special meeting, vote “FOR” the business combination proposal. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting or an abstention from voting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the business combination proposal.

As of the record date, our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of Sentinel Class A common stock and Sentinel Class B common stock owned by them in favor of the business combination.

Recommendation of the Sentinel Board of Directors

THE SENTINEL BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SENTINEL STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

121

THE CHARTER PROPOSALS

Overview

If the business combination proposal is approved and the business combination is to be consummated, Sentinel will amend its current certificate of incorporation (the “Sentinel Charter”). Sentinel’s stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon and to approve three separate proposals (collectively, the “charter proposals”) relating to StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter. The charter proposals are conditioned on the approval of the business combination proposal. Therefore, if the business combination proposal is not approved, the charter proposals will have no effect, even if approved by our public stockholders.

Charter Proposal A — Authorized Capital Stock

Relating to StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter, Sentinel’s stockholders are being asked to approve the provision in the Proposed Charter increasing the authorized capital stock from 221,000,000 shares consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock of a par value of $0.0001 each, 20,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class B common stock of a par value of $0.0001 each and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock of a par value of $0.0001 each, to authorized capital stock of 451,000,000 shares, consisting of (x) 450,000,000 shares of common stock, including 400,000,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock, and 50,000,000 shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock and (y) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Charter Proposal B — Declassification of the Board

Relating to StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter, Sentinel’s stockholders are being asked to approve the provision in the Proposed Charter providing that each member of StrikeCo’s board of directors will be elected annually at each annual meeting of stockholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof) following the Closing.

Charter Proposal C — Approval of Other Changes in Connection With Adoption of the Proposed Charter

Relating to StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter, Sentinel’s stockholders are being asked to approve all other changes in connection with amending the Sentinel Charter, including, among other things, (1) changing the post-business combination corporate name from “Sentinel Energy Services Inc.” to “Strike, Inc.” and making StrikeCo’s corporate existence perpetual and (2) removing certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company that will no longer apply upon consummation of the business combination.

Reasons for the Approval of the Charter proposals

Authorized Stock

Our board of directors believes that it is important for us to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support our growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs (including, if needed, as part of financing for future growth acquisitions). In addition, charter proposal A, if approved, would also adequately address the needs of StrikeCo after the business combination.

Declassification of the Board

Our board of directors believes that a declassified board of directors (1) allows stockholders to participate more frequently in the election of directors, (2) increases director accountability to stockholders, since such structure enables stockholders to express a view on each director’s performance by means of an annual vote, (3) allows stockholders the ability to influence corporate governance policies and to hold the board of directors and management accountable for implementing these policies.

Corporate Name and Perpetual Existence

Our board of directors believes that changing the post-business combination corporate name from “Sentinel Energy Services Inc.” to “Strike, Inc.” and making StrikeCo’s corporate existence perpetual is desirable to reflect

122

the business combination with Strike and to clearly identify StrikeCo as the publicly traded entity. Additionally, perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations, and our board of directors believes that it is the most appropriate period for StrikeCo following the business combination.

Blank Check Company

Our board of directors has determined it is in the best interest of Sentinel to eliminate provisions specific to our status as a blank check company. This deletion is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following consummation of the business combination. For example, these proposed amendments remove the requirement to dissolve Sentinel and allow it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the business combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations, and our board of directors believes it is the most appropriate period for StrikeCo.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of charter proposals A and C requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Sentinel common stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting and the approval of charter proposal B requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Sentinel common stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting. Abstentions, broker non-votes or the failure to vote on this proposal, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal.

The charter proposals are conditioned on the approval of the business combination proposal. Therefore, if the business combination proposal is not approved, the stock issuance proposal will have no effect, even if approved by our public stockholders.

Recommendation of the Sentinel Board of Directors

THE SENTINEL BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SENTINEL STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE CHARTER PROPOSALS.

123

THE STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming the business combination proposal and each of the charter proposals are approved, our stockholders are also being asked to approve the stock issuance proposal.

Sentinel’s units, shares of Sentinel Class A common stock and public warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq and, as such, we are seeking stockholder approval for the issuance of (x) shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock to (1) the Blocker Seller at the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, (2) CSL Energy in the CSL Private Placement at the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the CSL Subscription Agreement, (3) the Fidelity Investors in the Fidelity Private Placement, pursuant to the terms of the Fidelity Subscription Agreement, (4) the Invacor Sellers, pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement and (5) to the Continuing Members who exchange the Company Units and an equal number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock, from time to time, held by them following the Closing, pursuant to and in accordance with, the terms of the Exchange Agreement, and (y) shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock to the Continuing Members, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, in order to comply with the applicable listing rules of Nasdaq.

Reasons for the Approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal

We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a), (b) and (d). Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (B) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities. Collectively, Sentinel and StrikeCo, as successor to Sentinel, may issue 20% or more of our outstanding common stock or 20% or more of the voting power, in each case outstanding before the issuance, in connection with the business combination, the Private Placement and the incentive award proposal.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), stockholder approval is required when any issuance or potential issuance will result in a “change of control” of the issuer. Although Nasdaq has not adopted any rule on what constitutes a “change of control” for purposes of Rule 5635(b), Nasdaq has previously indicated that the acquisition of, or right to acquire, by a single investor or affiliated investor group, as little as 20% of the common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) or voting power of an issuer could constitute a change of control. The issuances to CSL Energy and Fidelity Investors in connection with the Private Placement, in case as described in this proxy statement, may result in CSL Energy and Fidelity Investors owning more than 20% of our outstanding common stock, or more than 20% of the voting power, in each case outstanding before the issuance.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), stockholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the greater of book or market value of the stock if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or may be equal to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, in each case outstanding before the issuance.

124

Effect of the Proposal on Current Stockholders

In the event that this proposal is not approved by Sentinel stockholders, the business combination may not be consummated. In the event that this proposal is approved by Sentinel stockholders, but the Transaction Agreement is terminated (without the business combination being consummated) prior to the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, StrikeCo will not issue the shares of common stock.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the stock issuance proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of Sentinel common stock present and entitled to vote at the special meeting. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting or an abstention from voting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the stock issuance proposal.

The stock issuance proposal is conditioned on the approval of the charter proposals, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the business combination proposal. Therefore, if the business combination proposal and the charter proposals are not approved, the stock issuance proposal will have no effect, even if approved by our public stockholders.

Recommendation of the Sentinel Board of Directors

THE SENTINEL BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SENTINEL STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL.

125

THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

Overview

Sentinel’s board of directors is currently divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of our Class I director, Jon A. Marshall, will expire at the special meeting.

If charter proposal B is approved, the Proposed Charter will provide for the declassification of StrikeCo’s board of directors and StrikeCo’s board of directors will consist of one class of directors only, whose term will continue to the first annual meeting of stockholders following the date of the Closing, and, thereafter, all directors will be elected annually and will be elected for one year terms expiring at the next annual meeting of StrikeCo stockholders. If charter proposal B is not approved, our board of directors will remain classified.

Director Nominee

Our board of directors has nominated Jon A. Marshall for election as a Class I director. Assuming charter proposal B is not approved and our board of directors remains classified, Mr. Marshall, if elected, will serve on our board of directors for a term of three years expiring at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. Assuming charter proposal B is approved and StrikeCo’s board of directors is declassified, Mr. Marshall, if elected, will serve on StrikeCo’s board of directors for a term expiring at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. Please see “Other Information Related to Sentinel” for more information on Mr. Marshall’s experience.

Vote Required for Approval

The director election proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal at the special meeting.

Pursuant to the Sentinel Charter, until the closing of our business combination, only holders of shares of Sentinel Class B common stock have a right to vote on the election of directors. Therefore, only holders of shares of Sentinel Class B common stock will vote on the director election proposal. The election of the director nominee pursuant to the director election proposal, assuming a quorum is present, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the outstanding shares of Sentinel Class B common stock who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting to vote on the election of directors, vote at the special meeting. This means that the director nominee will be elected if he receives more affirmative votes than any other nominee for the same position. Votes marked “FOR” the nominee will be counted in favor of the nominee. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting and abstentions will have no effect on the vote since a plurality of the votes cast is required for the election of the director nominee. Cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of directors.

Recommendation of the Sentinel Board of Directors

THE SENTINEL BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SENTINEL STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE DIRECTOR NOMINEE.

126

THE INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

On January 10, 2019, our board of directors unanimously adopted and approved the Strike Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), and is submitting the Incentive Plan to our stockholders for their adoption and approval. Our board of directors believes StrikeCo’s interests will be best advanced by stimulating the efforts of employees, officers, non-employee directors, and certain other service providers of StrikeCo and its subsidiaries, in each case, who are selected to be participants, by heightening the desire of such persons to continue working toward and contributing to the success and progress of StrikeCo The Incentive Plan allows for the grant of stock options (including options intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“incentive stock options”) under Section 422 of the Code and options not intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“nonqualified stock options” and together with incentive stock options, “options”), appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), cash incentive awards, performance shares, performance units and other stock-based awards (collectively, “awards”), any of which may have vesting or other restrictions contingent on the achievement of management objectives (as described below). Our board of directors has adopted and approved the Incentive Plan to permit StrikeCo to use stock-based compensation to further align the interests of Incentive Plan participants with those of our stockholders.

This proposal is conditioned on the approval of the business combination proposal, the charter proposals and the stock issuance proposal. Therefore, if any of those proposals are not approved, this proposal will have no effect, even if approved by our public stockholders.

Purpose of the Incentive Plan

Our board of directors recommends that our stockholders approve the Incentive Plan because it believes StrikeCo’s ability to grant stock-based awards is crucial in allowing StrikeCo to effectively compete for, retain and appropriately motivate and reward key talent. We believe that it is in the long-term interest of both StrikeCo and our stockholders to strengthen StrikeCo’s ability to attract, motivate and retain employees, officers, non-employee directors and other service providers and to provide additional incentive for those persons through stock ownership to improve financial performance, increase profits and strengthen the mutuality of interest between those persons and our stockholders. We believe that grants of stock-based awards are necessary to enable us to attract and retain top talent; if the Incentive Plan is not approved, we believe our recruitment and retention capabilities will be adversely affected.

Promotion of Good Corporate Governance Practices

Our board of directors believes the use of stock-based awards promotes best practices in corporate governance by incentivizing the creation of stockholder value. By providing participants in the Incentive Plan with a stake in StrikeCo’s success, the interests of the participants are further aligned with those of our stockholders. Specific features of the Incentive Plan that are consistent with commonly viewed good corporate governance practices include, but are not limited to:

•

The Incentive Plan will be administered by a committee of the board of directors of StrikeCo (the “Strike Board”), consisting entirely of independent directors;

•

except in connection with a corporate transaction, options and SARs under the Incentive Plan may not be granted with exercise or base prices lower than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date;

•

except in connection with a corporate transaction, the Incentive Plan prohibits the repricing of options and SARs without stockholder approval, including no cancellation and replacement of any outstanding option or SAR with a new option, SAR, other award or cash or amendment or modification that reduces the exercise price of an option or base price of a SAR;

127

•

the Incentive Plan prohibits the grant of dividend equivalents with respect to options and SARs and subjects all dividends and dividend equivalents paid with respect to other awards to the same vesting conditions as the underlying shares subject to the awards;

•

the Incentive Plan prohibits “liberal share recycling” — meaning that shares used to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes relating to an outstanding award will not be recycled back into the Incentive Plan for future grants;

•

the Incentive Plan does not contain a liberal change in control definition; and

•

non-employee directors may not be awarded compensation for their service as a director having an aggregate maximum value on the grant date that exceeds $750,000 during any calendar year and such limit may not be amended by us without first seeking stockholder approval.

Plan Summary

The following summary of the material terms of the Incentive Plan are qualified in their entirety by reference to a copy of the Incentive Plan, which is set forth in Annex D to this proxy statement. The Incentive Plan will become effective on the date that it is approved by our stockholders (the “Effective Date”).

Purpose. The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to provide a means through which StrikeCo may attract and retain key service providers of StrikeCo and its subsidiaries and to provide to such persons incentives and rewards for service and/or performance.

Eligibility.Non-employee directors, officers, employees, and other service providers of StrikeCo and its subsidiaries will be eligible for awards, as selected by the Committee (as defined below); provided, that, incentive stock options may be granted only to employees. As of December 31, 2018, we had approximately six non-employee directors, 27 consultants and 6,954 employees who would be eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan, if selected by the compensation committee of the Strike Board or such other committee designated by the Strike Board (the “Committee”) or its delegate. A written agreement between StrikeCo and each participant will evidence the terms of each award granted under the Incentive Plan.

Number of Shares Authorized and Award Limit. Pursuant to the Incentive Plan, StrikeCo has reserved an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance of awards to be granted under the Incentive Plan (all of which may be issued as incentive stock options). Non-employee directors may not be granted compensation having an aggregate maximum value at the date of grant that exceeds $750,000. The closing sale price of a share of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq on January 15, 2019 was $10.06.

If any award granted under the Incentive Plan expires unexercised, is canceled, forfeited, settled in cash or unearned (in whole or in part), shares of our common stock subject to such award will again be made available for future grants under the Incentive Plan. Use of shares of our common stock to pay the required exercise price or tax obligations, or shares not issued in connection with settlement of an option or SAR, reacquired by StrikeCo on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of an option will not be available again for other awards under the Incentive Plan. If a participant elects to give up the right to receive compensation in exchange for shares of common stock based on fair market value, such shares of common stock will not count against the aggregate limit of shares authorized under the Incentive Plan to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations.

Administration. The Committee will administer the Incentive Plan. Among other responsibilities, the Committee will select participants and determine the type of awards to be granted to participants, the number of shares of common stock to be covered by awards and the terms and conditions of awards, interpret the Incentive Plan and awards granted thereunder, and make any other determination and take any other action that it deems necessary or desirable to administer the Incentive Plan. The Committee may delegate some or all of its power and authority under the Incentive Plan to the Strike Board (or any members thereof) or, subject to applicable law,

128

to a subcommittee of the Strike Board, and member of the Strike Board, the Chief Executive Officer or other executive officer of StrikeCo as the Committee deems appropriate; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its power and authority to a member of the Strike Board, the Chief Executive Officer or other executive officer of StrikeCo with regard to the selection for participation in the Incentive Plan of an officer, director, or other person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or decisions concerning the timing, pricing or amount of an award to such an officer, director or other person.

Amendment or Termination. Unless earlier terminated, the expiration date of the Incentive Plan will be the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that such expiration will not affect awards then outstanding, and the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan shall continue to apply to such awards. The Strike Board may amend or terminate the Incentive Plan at any time; provided, that, no such amendment or termination will be effective without stockholder approval if such approval is required by applicable law, rule or regulation, or such amendment seeks to modify the non-employee director compensation limit as described above. Any such amendment or termination that would materially impair the rights of any participant or any holder or beneficiary of any award granted under the Incentive Plan will not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected participant, holder or beneficiary. None of the following actions can be taken under the Incentive Plan without approval of our stockholders: (1) amendment or modification to reduce the exercise price of any option or the base price of any SAR; (2) cancel any outstanding option or SAR and replace it with a new option or SAR, other award or cash; or (3) any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of Nasdaq.

Options. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to participants. All options granted under the Incentive Plan will be nonqualified stock options unless the award agreement states that the option is an incentive stock option. Non-employee directors, officers, employees, and other service providers of StrikeCo and its subsidiaries may be granted nonqualified stock options, but only employees of StrikeCo and its subsidiaries may be granted incentive stock options. The Committee will determine the exercise price of options granted under the Incentive Plan. Subject to certain exceptions in connection with a corporate transaction, the exercise price of an incentive or nonqualified stock option will be at least 100% (and in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a more than 10% stockholder, 110%) of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the option on the date the option is granted. The Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the terms of each option. Options may not be exercisable for more than ten years from the date they are granted and will not provide for any dividends or dividend equivalents thereon. Acceptable consideration for the purchase of the common stock issued upon the exercise of an option will be specified in the award agreement and may include cash, check, cash equivalents and/or shares of common stock, a reduction in the number of shares deliverable upon exercise and such other forms of consideration that the Committee may accept.

SARs. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant SARs to participants in the Incentive Plan. Generally, SARs permit a participant to exercise the right and receive a payment equal to the value of the common stock’s appreciation over a period of time in excess of the fair market value (the “base price”) of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the SAR. StrikeCo may settle such amount in cash, in shares of our common stock valued at fair market value, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee and specified in the award agreement. SARs granted under the Incentive Plan will become exercisable and will expire in such manner and on such date(s) as determined by the Committee, with the term of the SAR not to exceed ten years from the grant date. The Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the terms of each SAR. SARs granted under the Incentive Plan will not provide for any dividends or dividend equivalents thereon.

Restricted Stock. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant restricted stock to participants in the Incentive Plan. The Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the terms of each grant of restricted stock. Subject to the terms of the award, the recipients of restricted stock generally will have the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the restricted stock, including the right to vote the stock, on the grant date. Dividends, if any, paid by StrikeCo with respect to awards of restricted stock prior to the time all restrictions and vesting

129

conditions on the restricted stock have lapsed will be withheld by the Committee and distributed to the participant in cash or shares of common stock upon the release of the restrictions applicable to the underlying shares of restricted stock.

RSUs. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant RSUs to participants. An RSU is the right to receive shares of our common stock (or to the extent provided in the award agreement, cash or a combination of cash and common stock) following achievement of all vesting conditions and the lapse of all restrictions. The Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the terms of each award of RSUs. Recipients of RSUs will not have the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the common stock underlying such RSUs, including the right to vote the stock, until common stock in respect of the RSUs is actually issued to the participant following satisfaction of all vesting conditions. Dividends, if any, paid by StrikeCo with respect to common stock underlying an award of RSUs prior to the time all restrictions and vesting conditions on the RSU have lapsed will be withheld by the Committee and distributed to the participant in cash or shares of common stock upon the release of the restrictions and vesting conditions applicable to the shares subject to the award. RSUs may be settled in shares of our common stock, cash or a combination thereof in the discretion of the Committee.

Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee, in its discretion, may award unrestricted shares of our common stock, or other awards denominated in share of our common stock, to participants either alone or in tandem with other awards granted under the Incentive Plan. The Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the terms of each other stock-based award.

Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares, and Performance Units. The Committee may, in its discretion, also grant performance shares, performance units and cash incentive awards to participants under the Incentive Plan. Each grant will specify the number or amount of performance shares or performance units, or the amount payable with respect to cash incentive awards, which number or amount may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other factors. These awards, when granted under the Incentive Plan, become payable to participants upon of the achievement of specified management objectives and upon such terms and conditions as the Committee determines at the time of grant. Each grant may specify with respect to the management objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement and may set forth a formula for determining the number of performance shares or performance units, or the amount payable with respect to cash incentive awards, that will be earned if performance is at or above the minimum or threshold level, or is at or above the target level but falls short of maximum achievement. Each grant will specify the time and manner of payment of cash incentive awards, performance shares or performance units that have been earned, and any grant may further specify that any such amount may be paid or settled in cash, shares of common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units or any combination thereof. Any grant of performance shares may provide for the payment of dividend equivalents in cash or in additional shares of common stock, subject to deferral and payment on a contingent basis based on the participant’s earning of the performance shares with respect to which such dividend equivalents are paid. Each grant of performance shares, performance units or cash incentive awards will be evidenced by an award agreement which specifies the applicable terms and conditions of such award, including any vesting and forfeiture provisions. The performance period with respect to a cash incentive award, performance share, or performance unit will be a period of time determined by the Committee on the grant date. The performance period may be subject to earlier lapse or modification, including in the event of retirement, death or disability of the participant or in the event of a change in control of StrikeCo

Management Objectives. Any award granted under the Incentive Plan may specify management objectives that must be satisfied or met (1) as a condition to the grant or exercisability of all or a portion of an award or (2) as a condition to the vesting of the holder’s interest in the shares of common stock subject to an award or of payment with respect to an award, which objectives will include, but not be limited to, the following performance objectives measured on a company, subsidiary, business, operating unit or individual basis: cash flow; free cash flow; operating cash flow; earnings; market share; economic value added; achievement of annual operating budget; profits; profit contribution margins; profits before taxes; profits after taxes; operating profit; return on assets; return on investment; return on equity; return on invested capital; gross sales; net sales; sales volume; stock price; total stockholder return; dividend ratio; price-to-earnings ratio; expense targets; operating efficiency;

130

customer satisfaction metrics; working capital targets; the achievement of certain target levels of innovation and/or development of products; measures related to acquisitions or divestitures or the formation or dissolution of joint ventures; corporate bond rating by credit agencies; debt to equity or leverage ratios; or other performance measures determined by the Committee. If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of StrikeCo, or the manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render the management objectives unsuitable, the Committee may in its discretion modify such management objectives or the acceptable levels of achievement, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate.

Adjustments in Capitalization and Change in Control. In general, in the event of (1) any extraordinary cash dividend, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of StrikeCo, (2) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities or (3) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the forgoing, necessary or appropriate equitable adjustments (as determined by the Committee) will be made, including to the number of shares of common stock or other securities of StrikeCo (or number and kind of other securities, consideration or other property) that may be delivered in respect of awards or with respect to which awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan. In addition, in the event of a change in control, the Committee may provide in substitution for any or all awards outstanding under the Incentive Plan such alternative consideration (including cash), if any, it in good faith may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and shall require in connection therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced. In connection with any of the foregoing events, the Committee may in its sole discretion elect to cancel outstanding options or SARs with an exercise price or base price that is equal to or less than the then current fair market value of our common stock without any consideration to the participant therefor.

Change in Control is generally defined in the Incentive Plan as any of the following events: (1) the date any one person, or more than one “person” acting as a group, acquires ownership of common stock possessing 35% or more of the then-outstanding shares of common stock or total voting power of StrikeCo; (2) individuals who as of the effective date of the Incentive Plan constitute the Strike Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided, that any person becoming a director subsequent to the effective date whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be, for purposes of this provision, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; (3) consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of StrikeCo unless, following such event, (a) stockholders of StrikeCo immediately prior to such event beneficially own securities representing more than 50% of the then-outstanding common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the surviving or continuing corporation, (b) no person (excluding any entity resulting from such event or any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by StrikeCo or an affiliate) beneficially owns 35% or more of the then-outstanding common stock or combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the surviving or continuing corporation and (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the entity resulting from such event were members of the Incumbent Board; or (4) approval by the stockholders of a complete dissolution or liquidation of StrikeCo. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will issuance of shares of common stock to investors to that certain Exchange Agreement entered between StrikeCo, Strike and the Strike Unitholders, dated as of the Closing.

Clawback/Repayment. All awards granted under the Incentive Plan may be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (1) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Strike Board or the Committee and as in effect from time to time or (2) applicable law.

Transferability. Awards under the Incentive Plan will generally not be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

131

No Right to Continued Employment. The Incentive Plan does not give any participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of StrikeCo or any of its subsidiaries. StrikeCo and its subsidiaries (as applicable) may at any time dismiss a participant from employment or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Incentive Plan.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences generally arising with respect to awards under the Incentive Plan. This discussion does not address all aspects of the United States federal income tax consequences of participating in the Incentive Plan that may be relevant to participants in light of their personal investment or tax circumstances and does not discuss any state, local or non-United States tax consequences of participating in the Incentive Plan. Each participant is advised to consult his or her personal tax advisor concerning the application of the United States federal income tax laws to such participant’s particular situation, as well as the applicability and effect of any state, local or non-United States tax laws before taking any actions with respect to any awards.

Incentive Stock Options. A participant who is granted an incentive stock option will not have federal income tax liability upon the grant of an incentive stock option and will not recognize regular taxable income when the incentive stock option is exercised. However, the participant will recognize alternative minimum taxable income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price paid for those shares, if the participant is subject to the alternative minimum tax in the taxable year of the exercise. A participant generally will recognize income in the year in which the participant disposes of the shares purchased under such incentive stock option. If the participant makes a “qualifying disposition,” the participant will recognize a long-term capital gain equal to the excess of (1) the amount realized upon the sale or disposition over (2) the exercise price paid for the shares and StrikeCo cannot take an income tax deduction with respect to those shares. A qualifying disposition occurs when the participant’s sale or other disposition of the shares takes place (a) more than two (2) years after the grant date of the incentive stock option and (b) more than one (1) year after the date the option was exercised for the particular shares involved in the disposition. In contrast, a disqualifying disposition is any sale or other disposition made before both of these minimum holding periods are satisfied. Normally, when shares purchased under an incentive stock option are subject to a disqualifying disposition, the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the lesser of (1) the amount realized upon that disposition and (2) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date over the exercise price paid for those shares and StrikeCo is entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income that the participant recognizes in connection with the disposition, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Nonqualified Stock Options. A participant who is granted a nonqualified stock option will not have federal income tax liability upon the grant of the nonqualified stock option, but will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the participant exercises the option in an amount equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over (2) the exercise price paid for those shares and StrikeCo will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income that the participant recognizes, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code. A participant will later also recognize a capital gain to the extent that the amount realized from the subsequent sale of the shares exceeds the participant’s basis in the shares.

Appreciation Rights (SARs). A participant who is granted a SAR will not have federal income tax liability upon the grant of the SAR, but will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the participant exercises the SAR in an amount equal to the amount of the cash or the value of the stock that is transferred to the participant upon exercise of the SAR and StrikeCo will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income that the participant recognizes, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Restricted Stock. A participant who is granted an award of restricted stock will recognize taxable income when the substantial risk of forfeiture of the shares lapses, i.e., at the time of “vesting,” unless the participant makes an

132

election to be taxed at the time of the grant. Assuming such an election is not made, the taxable income will be equal to the fair market value of the shares of restricted stock when they vest over the amount, if any, paid for those shares and StrikeCo will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income that the participant recognizes, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code. The participant may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to include as ordinary income in the year of the award an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares on the transfer date less the amount, if any, paid for those shares. If the participant makes a Section 83(b) election, the participant will not recognize any additional income when the shares vest. If a Section 83(b) election is made, any appreciation in the value of the shares of restricted stock after the award is granted is not taxed as compensation but instead is taxed as a capital gain when the restricted shares are later sold or transferred. If the participant makes a Section 83(b) election and the restricted stock is later forfeited, the participant is not entitled to a tax deduction or a refund of the tax already paid. The Section 83(b) election must be filed with the IRS within thirty (30) days after the shares are awarded to the participant.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). A participant who is granted a RSU generally will not recognize income when the RSU is granted or vested, but only when the RSU is settled. The participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the amount of the cash or the fair market value of the stock that the participant receives on settlement and StrikeCo will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income that the participant recognizes, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares and Performance Units. No income generally will be recognized upon the grant of cash incentive awards, performance shares or performance units. Upon payment or settlement of cash incentive awards, performance shares or performance units, the recipient generally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of receipt an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any nonrestricted shares of common stock received and StrikeCo will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income that the participant recognizes, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) generally limits a public company’s ability to deduct compensation paid in excess of $1 million during any taxable year to certain “covered employees”, which includes a company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and each of its other named executive officers. If an individual is determined to be a covered employee for any year beginning after December 31, 2016, then that individual will continue to be a covered employee for future years, regardless of changes in the individual’s compensation or position.

Withholding Taxes. To the extent StrikeCo is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a participant or other person under the Incentive Plan, and the amounts available to StrikeCo for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to StrikeCo for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld, which arrangements, in the discretion of the Committee, may include relinquishment of a portion of such benefit.

New Plan Benefits

As a general matter, it is not possible to determine specific amounts and types of benefits that will be awarded or paid under the Incentive Plan because the grant and actual payout of awards under the Incentive Plan are discretionary. However, it is currently anticipated that Messrs. S. Pate, R. Jessen, and C. Pate will receive equity grants under the Incentive Plan as set forth below. In addition, the Transaction Agreement provides that, as a condition to the Closing of the business combination, Sentinel’s board of directors shall have recommended equity awards to be granted to certain individuals (including Mr. C. Pate), provided that such awards will not be issued until approved by Sentinel’s compensation committee and a registration statement on Form S-8 has been filed with the SEC covering the shares of capital stock subject to such awards. The following table shows, as to

133

each named executive officer and the various indicated groups, the planned restricted stock unit and performance unit grants:

Strike Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan


Name and Position	Aggregate Number of Units⁽¹⁾
Stephen V. Pate, Chief Executive Officer		400,000
Robert J. Jessen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer		125,000
A. Cole Pate, President and Chief Operating Officer		470,000
Jason Heckt, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Business Development		—
Kacey Smart, Executive Vice President		—
Mark Gandy, Former Chief Financial Officer		—
All current executive officers as a group		1,270,000
All current directors who are not executive officers as a group		—
All current employees as a group (excluding executive officers)		685,000

(1)

It is currently anticipated that the awards granted to Messrs. S. Pate, R. Jessen, and C. Pate would be structured as follows: the awards granted to S. Pate and R. Jessen would be 50% restricted stock units and 50% performance units. C. Pate would receive two separate grants: a grant of 270,000 units, which would be 50% restricted stock units and 50% performance units, and a separate grant of 200,000 units, all of which would be restricted stock units. Each restricted stock unit or performance unit award granted to Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen and C. Pate would vest ratably over a three-year period. The remainder of the grants listed here would be solely in the form of restricted stock units, vesting ratably over a three-year period. Note that this is an estimate based on a per share price of $10.00. Because these amounts of the aggregate units are based on an aggregate grant date dollar value per award, the actual number of restricted stock units and/or performance units that may be awarded is subject to change based on the actual underlying share price.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

No equity awards of StrikeCo were outstanding as of December 31, 2017 or are currently outstanding.

Recommendation

Our board of directors believes that the Incentive Plan will provide us with the continued ability to link participants’ pay to stockholder returns, is a critical compensation component in our ability to attract, retain and motivate employees by aligning their interests with the interests of our stockholders.

THE SENTINEL BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SENTINEL STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN PROPOSAL.

134

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The adjournment proposal allows Sentinel’s board of directors to submit a proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the condition precedent proposals or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Transaction Agreement has not been satisfied.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the adjournment proposal is presented to the special meeting and is not approved by the stockholders, Sentinel’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the condition precedent proposals or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Transaction Agreement has not been satisfied. In such events, the business combination would not be completed.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of Sentinel common stock present and entitled to vote at the special meeting. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting or an abstention from voting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the adjournment proposal.

The adjournment proposal is not conditioned upon any other proposal.

Recommendation of the Sentinel Board of Directors

THE SENTINEL BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction and Basis of Presentation

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Sentinel Energy Services, Inc. (“Sentinel” or the “Company”) present the combination of the financial information of Sentinel and Strike Capital, LLC (“Strike”) adjusted to give effect to the business combination and related transactions.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 are based on the historical financial statements of Sentinel and Strike after giving effect to the business combination and related transactions. Sentinel and Strike shall collectively be referred to in this section as the “Companies.” Subsequent to the business combination and related transactions, the Companies are referred to herein as “StrikeCo.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statement of operations as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were derived from Sentinel’s and Strike’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, included elsewhere in this proxy statement. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 was derived from Sentinel’s and Strike’s audited consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017, included elsewhere in this proxy statement. This information should be read together with the Company’s and Strike’s unaudited and audited financial statements and related notes, the sections titled “Strike’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Sentinel’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

In connection with the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions by public stockholders, Sentinel will acquire a majority, expected to be approximately 72%, of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike from the Unit Sellers, with those Unit Sellers who elected to retain certain of their Company Units instead of receiving all cash consideration (the “Continuing Members”) expected to retain the remaining approximately 28% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike (such retained equity interests, the “Retained Company Units”). Prior to the Closing, the equity interests in Strike (referred to as “Company Units”) will be held by the Unit Sellers and indirectly by the Blocker Seller.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 give pro forma effect to the business combination and related transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 assumes that the business combination and related transactions were completed on September 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma adjustments for the business combination and related transactions give effect to the following proposed and contemplated transactions:

(1)

the contemplated deregistration of Sentinel under Article 206 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2018 Revision) and the subsequent domestication under Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, pursuant to which Sentinel’s jurisdiction of incorporation is changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “domestication”)

(2)

completion of transactions provided for by the transaction agreement dated as of October 18, 2018, by and among Sentinel, Strike, Blocker, Blocker Seller, the other equityholders of Strike party thereto, the Seller Representative, and the Blocker Merger Sub Transaction Agreement, (the “Transaction Agreement”) (these transactions collectively, the “business combination”) including:

136

the purchase by Sentinel from the Unit Sellers of a certain number of issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike, with the Unit Sellers retaining the remaining issued and outstanding equity interests of Strike, and

the contribution by Sentinel to Strike of all remaining cash held by Sentinel

(3)	the proceeds from a private placement of 13,200,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock at $10.00 per share, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (the “Equity Offering”)

(4)	the entry into a tax receivable agreement by StrikeCo, Strike, certain Strike Unitholders parties thereto, and the Seller Representative (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”)

(5)

the transfer of all issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Pipelogic Interests”) in Pipelogic Services, L.L.C. (“Pipelogic”) to Sentinel in exchange for 1,800,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock and the contribution of Pipelogic Interests from Sentinel to Strike LLC in exchange for 1,800,000 units of Strike (the “Pipelogic Business Combination”).

(6)

the amendment of Sentinel’s current certificate of incorporation, with an amended and restated certificate of incorporation of StrikeCo for the three charter proposals, including the proposal to increase the authorized share capital stock to 451,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 450,000,000 shares of common stock, including 400,000,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock, 50,000,000 shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock, and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Charter Proposals”).

(7)

the partial repayment of the Term Loan and related accrued interest using the remaining cash from the financing of the proposed business combination under the no redemption scenario. Under the maximum redemption scenario, no remaining cash proceeds are available for repayment of debt. The repayment of debt is not a required condition for the consummation of the proposed business combination.

The pro forma information contained herein assumes Sentinel’s stockholders approve the proposed business combination. Sentinel initial stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they approve the proposed acquisition of Strike. Sentinel cannot predict how many of its public stockholders will elect to convert their stock to cash. As a result, pro forma financial statements are provided under two different assumptions, as described below. However, there can be no assurance regarding which scenario will be closest to the actual results.

If the business combination is consummated, the consideration for the transaction will be provided by (1) the funds remaining in Sentinel’s trust account, totaling $349.0 million as of September 30, 2018, assuming no Sentinel stockholder redemption, and (2) the $132.0 million provided by the proceeds from the private placement of 13.2 million of StrikeCo’s Class A common stock at a price of $10.00 per share.

The final determination of the accounting acquirer will depend on an assessment of factors at the time that the proposed business combination is consummated. The Company will not know whether the current stockholders of Sentinel or the current equityholders of Strike will have a majority voting interest until the redemption period has expired and the proposed business combination is consummated. To determine the accounting acquirer, the Company considered additional factors outlined in FASB ASC 805-10-55-11 through 55-14 and discussed below.

The following factors indicating that Sentinel is the accounting acquirer will not be affected by the number of redemptions:

•

The combined company’s board of directors will initially consist of seven members, five of whom currently serve on the board of Sentinel, including the chairperson; and

•

Sentinel will pay cash and equity consideration to the Sellers in exchange for Company Units.

The following factors indicating that Strike is the accounting acquirer will not be affected by the number of redemptions:

•

One Equity Partners (OEP) is the majority equityholder of Strike and will hold the largest voting interest in the combined company;

•

Strike management will hold all key senior management positions;

137

•

No employee of Sentinel will serve in an operational or management role at the combined company; and

•

Strike is significantly larger than Sentinel based on total assets, total revenues and total earnings.

In addition to the factors listed above, the following factors were considered, including (1) the combined company will be branded Strike, Inc., (2) the combined company’s headquarters will move to Strike’s headquarters, (3) Strike’s customers and assets will generate 100% of future revenue and earnings for the combined company, (4) the industry expertise of the combined company resides with the management of Strike, and Strike’s management is responsible for the execution of the operational and financial strategy of the combined company, including strategic planning, financial reporting, capital raising and investor and board presentations. As the relevant factors above are mixed, the Company has concluded that the relative voting rights is the deciding factor in its conclusions regarding the accounting acquirer.

In the no redemption scenario, the Company has concluded that Sentinel would be deemed to be the accounting acquirer due to the following:

•

The existing stockholders of Sentinel and their affiliates would hold a majority of the voting interests in the combined company; and

•

Assuming the existing stockholders of Sentinel and their affiliates vote as a block, they would be able to elect the board members at an annual meeting of stockholders.

In the maximum redemption scenario, the Company has concluded that Strike would be deemed to be the accounting acquirer due to the following:

•

The Continuing Members and Blocker Seller would hold a majority of the voting interests in the combined company; and

•

Assuming the Continuing Members and Blocker Seller vote as a block, they would be able to elect the board members at an annual meeting of stockholders.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the business combination and related financing transactions and has been prepared for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the business combination and related financing transactions taken place on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of the future consolidated results of operations of StrikeCo. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of the Companies and should be read in conjunction with their historical financial statements.

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the business combination and related financing transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of StrikeCo. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be associated with the business combination.

The following redemption scenarios are presented in the pro forma information:

•

Assuming No Redemption:This presentation assumes that no stockholders of Sentinel exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account;

138

•

Assuming Maximum Redemption:This presentation assumes that the maximum number of stockholders holding Sentinel’s public shares exercise their redemption rights, to the extent that cash is available to complete the transaction, and that such shares are redeemed for their pro rata share of the funds in the trust account less cash needed to pay remaining transaction costs. Therefore, this presentation assumes maximum redemption of the common stock subject to possible redemption of 29,632,948 shares redeemed to stockholders at $10.12 per share.

For pro forma purposes, the fair value of consideration given and thus the estimated purchase price was determined based upon the $10.00 per share closing price of Sentinel’s common stock. The final purchase consideration could significantly differ from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information due to movements in Sentinel’s common stock price as of the closing date of the business combination. A sensitivity analysis related to the fluctuation in Sentinel’s common stock price was performed to assess the impact a hypothetical change of 10% on the closing price of Sentinel’s common stock would have on the estimated purchase price and goodwill as of the closing date.

The following table reflects estimated purchase price and goodwill based on a hypothetical change in stock price (in thousands):


	Assuming No Redemption
	Purchase Price		Estimated Goodwill
As presented in the pro forma combined results	$	770,943	$	102,824
10% increase in common stock price	$	801,508	$	133,389
10% decrease in common stock price	$	740,378	$	72,259

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. As such, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should not be relied on as indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. There was no historical relationship between Sentinel and Strike prior to the business combination. Therefore, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

Below are the pro forma financial information and related notes thereto which give effect to the business combination and related transactions under no redemption scenario assuming Sentinel is an accounting acquirer and maximum redemption scenario assuming transaction is accounted for as a reverse merger with Strike being the accounting acquirer of Sentinel.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Pro Forma Balance Sheet – No Redemption

Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price

The business combination, under no redemption, has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the ASC 805. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values, as determined in accordance with ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements, as of the business combination date. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded at the effective time of the business combination at their respective fair values and added to those of Sentinel.

The following is a preliminary estimate of the purchase consideration to be paid to effect the business combination (in thousands):


Investment in trust account, less transaction costs	$	322,457
Cash proceeds from private placement		132,000

Total cash and equity consideration	$	454,457
Unit Seller shares at fair value		305,647
Tax Receivable Agreement to Strike Unitholders		10,839

Total	$	770,943

Cash and cash equivalents	$	300,833
Contract assets		153,122
Accounts receivable, net		241,693
Inventories		3,239
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		8,302
Property and equipment, net		141,869
Intangible assets, net		383,400
Other long-term assets		1,691
Accounts payable		(131,850	)
Accrued expenses		(32,283	)
Contract liabilities		(29,718	)
Deferred income tax liability		(8,553	)
Current portion of long-term debt		(18,627	)
Long-term debt, net of current portion		(344,999	)

Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$	668,119

Goodwill	$	102,824

Sentinel has made preliminary purchase price allocations based on currently available information. The final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is expected to be completed as soon as practicable after completion of the business combination. Compensation expense related to the vesting of junior and phantom units is included in the consideration transferred as it relates to pre-combination services.

At the closing of the business combination, StrikeCo, Strike, the Unit Sellers and the Seller Representative will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex H to this proxy statement. The Tax Receivable Agreement will be treated as contingent consideration for accounting purposes and included as part of the consideration transferred in the business combination. The Tax Receivable Agreement obligation will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and classified as a liability. The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for the payment by StrikeCo to the Unit Sellers for certain U.S. federal, state, and local income tax benefits deemed realized as described in more detail in “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

143

The amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination could differ materially from the preliminary amounts presented in these unaudited pro forma financial statements. A decrease in the fair value of assets acquired or an increase in the fair value of liabilities assumed in the business combination from those valuations presented in these unaudited pro forma financial statements would result in a corresponding increase in the amount of goodwill that will result from the business combination. In addition, if the value of the acquired assets is higher than indicated, it may result in higher amortization and depreciation expense than is presented in these unaudited pro forma financial statements.

Approximately $102.8 million (excluding goodwill of $8.3 million related to Pipelogic as discussed below) has been allocated to goodwill under no redemption. Goodwill represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable definite-lived intangible assets acquired.

Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill. Intangible assets not recognized apart from goodwill consist primarily of the strong market position and the assembled workforce of Strike.

In accordance with ASC Topic 350,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. In the event management of StrikeCo determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, an accounting charge for the amount of impairment during the quarter in which the determination is made may be recognized.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 are as follows:

Adjustment allocated to cost of revenues					$	2,167	$	1,500
Adjustment allocated to operating expenses					$	1,202	$	1,990

The preliminary fair market value of fixed assets was derived using a combination of cost approach and market approach.

(c) Represents the adjustment to intangible assets to reflect the preliminary fair market value and the amortization expense (in thousands):


	Preliminary Fair Value		Remaining Useful Life in Years		Year Ended December 31, 2017 Amortization Expense		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Amortization Expense
Trade name	$	191,200		10 - 15	$	2,244	$	1,683

Pro forma adjustment	$	149,599			$	26,599	$	20,752

The preliminary fair market value for customer relationships and backlog was determined using income approach while tradenames were valued using the relief-from-royalty method.

(d) Represents the estimated adjustment to goodwill as a result of the business combination.


Preliminary purchase price	$	770,943
Less: fair value of net assets acquired		668,119

Total estimated goodwill		102,824
Less: Strike historical goodwill		71,130

Pro forma adjustment	$	31,694

145

(e) Represents the adjustment related to the reclassification of the $349.0 million of investment held in the trust account to cash to reflect the fact that this investment is available for use in connection with the business combination.

(f) Represents adjustment to reflect (1) an $11.0 million deferred tax liability representing future temporary differences of the excess of book basis over tax basis, which includes the book basis after fair value adjustments in connection with the business combination and the increased tax basis resulting from the acquisition of Company Units, offset by (2) a $2.5 million deferred tax asset related to certain other tax benefits attributable to payments to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

(g) At the closing of the business combination, StrikeCo, Strike, the Continuing Members and the Seller Representatives will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement. For a description of the Tax Receivable Agreement, refer to “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement.” Under the no redemption scenario, the liability related to the Tax Receivable Agreement is treated as contingent consideration and discounted to fair value of $10.8 million. If the Tax Receivable Agreement was not entered into, StrikeCo would generally be entitled to realize and retain the full economic benefit of the tax attributes covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will cause StrikeCo’s annual cash costs attributable to income taxes (together with the amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement) to be not less than the amount that would have been paid if such tax attributes were not available to StrikeCo’s taxable income. As a result, stockholders of StrikeCo will not be entitled to economic benefit of the tax attributes covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement.

(h) Represents the adjustment of debt to fair value totaling $11.9 million, partial repayment of Term Loan totaling $299.0 million, and payment of $0.9 million in related accrued interest.

(p) Represents Blocker Seller receiving 6.0 million shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock and the Continuing Members receiving 24.6 million shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock reflective to the number of Retained Company Units held by them. Holders of Class B common stock will have the right to vote on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the StrikeCo stockholders, but will not be entitled to any dividends or any distributions in liquidation from StrikeCo. Each Retained Company Unit, together with one share of StrikeCo Class B common stock, will be exchangeable in the future, subject to certain conditions, for either one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock or, at Sentinel’s election, the cash equivalent to the market value of one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Exchange Agreement. Upon redemption or exchange of Retained Company Units held by a Continuing Member, a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled.

146

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 are as follows:

(u) Represents adjustment to eliminate historical depreciation expense and recognize new depreciation expense based on the fair value of property and equipment on a straight-line basis from January 1, 2017. The depreciation of property and equipment is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. The net adjustment to depreciation is as follows (in thousands):


	Year Ended December 31, 2017		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Calculation of depreciation adjustment
Depreciation — historical Strike	$	25,555	$	18,203
Depreciation after fair value		28,924		21,693

Depreciation expense adjustment for the period	$	3,369	$	3,490
Depreciation allocated to cost of revenues	$	2,167	$	1,500
Depreciation allocated to operating expenses	$	1,202	$	1,990

(v) Represents adjustment to eliminate historical amortization expense and recognize new amortization expense based on the fair value of intangible assets on a straight-line basis from January 1, 2017. The amortization of intangible assets is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. The net adjustment to amortization is as follows (in thousands):


	Year Ended December 31, 2017		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Calculation of amortization adjustment
Amortization — historical Strike	$	12,443	$	8,530
Amortization after fair value		39,042		29,282

Amortization expense adjustment for the period	$	26,599	$	20,752

(w) Represents adjustment to eliminate previously recorded transaction costs totaling $2.8 million.

(x) Represents the reversal of historical interest expense related to term loan paydown.

(y) Represents reversal of investment income on trust account.

148

(z) Represents adjustment to income tax expense as a result of the tax impact on the pro forma adjustments related to financing and purchase price allocation adjustments attributable to StrikeCo using the statutory tax rate to compute the income tax expense as follows (in thousands):


	Year Ended December 31, 2017			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
StrikeCo income (loss) before tax	$	9,668		$	12,742
Statutory federal and state rate		26.3	%		16.4	%
Texas margin tax rate		7.6	%		6.7	%

Pro forma adjustment to income tax	$	3,277		$	2,943

(zy) Upon completion of the transaction, Sentinel will become the managing member of Strike. These pro forma results under no redemption reflect anon-controlling interest related to the Retained Company Units held by the Continuing Members on the consolidated statement of operations.

(zz) Represents the net earnings per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares of Sentinel and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the business combination and related transactions, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2017. As the business combination and related proposed equity transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the business combination have been outstanding for the entire periods presented. If the maximum number of shares are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire periods. The shares of Class B common stock are not included in the weighted average shares outstanding as they do not share in earnings. For the purposes of applying theas-if converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share, it was assumed that all 24.6 million units are exchanged (with automatic cancellation of all outstanding shares of Class B common stock) for Class A common stock. However, since this results in anti-dilution, the effect of such exchange was not included in calculation of diluted earnings per share.

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

(aa) Represents the preliminary net adjustment to cash in connection with the business combination. A reconciliation of the pro forma cash adjustment maximum redemption (in thousands):


Investment from Trust Account	$	49,072
Cash proceeds from private placement		132,000
Cash consideration paid to Sellers		(154,572	)
Transaction costs (estimated); including underwriter fees		(26,500	)

Pro forma adjustment	$	—

(ab) Adjustment to trust account under maximum redemption by stockholders to reflect payment of transaction costs and maximum redemption of redeemable shares at $10.12 per share totaling 29,632,948 shares.

(ac) At the closing of the business combination, StrikeCo, Strike, the Unit Sellers and the Seller Representatives will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement. For a description of the Tax Receivable Agreement, refer to “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement.” Under the maximum redemption scenario, a liability is recorded for 85% of the estimated realizable tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, or $22.9 million, which is not adjusted to fair value or discounted. If the Tax Receivable Agreement was not entered into, StrikeCo would generally be entitled to realize and retain the full economic benefit of the tax attributes covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will cause StrikeCo’s annual cash costs attributable to income taxes (together with the amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement) to be not less than the amount that would have been paid if such tax attributes were not available to StrikeCo’s taxable income. As a result, stockholder of StrikeCo will not be entitled to economic benefit of the tax attributes covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement.

(ad) Represents adjustment of $12.1 million in underwriter compensation deferred until closing of the transaction.

(ae) Represents the conversion of Sentinel Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares to StrikeCo Class A common stock as a result of the business combination.

Holders of Class B common stock will have the right to vote on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the StrikeCo stockholders, but will not be entitled to any dividends or any distributions in liquidation from StrikeCo. Each Retained Company Unit, together with one share of StrikeCo Class B common stock, will be exchangeable in the future, subject to certain conditions, for either one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock or, at Sentinel’s election, the cash equivalent to the market value of one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Exchange Agreement. Upon redemption or exchange of Retained Company Units held by a Continuing Member, a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled.

(ah) Represents 3.5 million shares Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption converted to Class A common stock under maximum redemption scenario of 29,632,948 shares redeemed.

(ar) Represents the net earnings per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares of Sentinel and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the business combination and related transactions, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2017. As the business combination and related proposed

155

equity transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the business combination have been outstanding for the entire periods presented. If the maximum number of shares are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire periods. The shares of Class B common stock are not included in the weighted average shares outstanding as they do not share in earnings. For the purposes of applying theas-if converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share, it was assumed that all 24.6 million units are exchanged (with automatic cancellation of all outstanding shares of Class B common stock) for Class A common stock. However, since this results in anti-dilution, the effect of such exchange was not included in calculation of diluted earnings per share.

OTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO SENTINEL

Introduction

Sentinel was incorporated on June 5, 2017 as a Cayman Islands exempted company in order to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a target business. On December 28, 2018, Sentinel changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “domestication”). As a result, on the effective date of the domestication, each of Sentinel’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares automatically converted by operation of law into one share of Sentinel Class A common stock and one share of Sentinel Class B common stock, respectively, and each of Sentinel’s outstanding warrants became warrants to acquire the corresponding number of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock. Accordingly, all references to Sentinel in this proxy statement refer to the post-domestication company. Although Sentinel’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to any particular industry or geographic region, its management focused on identifying opportunities in the oil and gas services industry sector. Prior to executing the Transaction Agreement with Strike, Sentinel’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its initial public offering and the identification and evaluation of possible acquisition targets for business combinations.

Initial Public Offering

Sentinel is a blank check company incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on our business activities, Sentinel is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because we have no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

On November 7, 2017, we consummated the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 34,500,000 units, including the issuance of 4,500,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $345,000,000. Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, in June 2017, the Sponsor purchased 14,375,000 shares of Sentinel Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. The number of founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that the initial public offering would be 57,500,000 units and therefore that such founder shares would represent, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the outstanding shares of Sentinel Class A common stock under the initial public offering. In August 2017, the Sponsor surrendered 5,750,000 of its shares of Sentinel Class B common stock for no consideration, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of Sentinel Class B common stock. In October 2017 and January 2018, the Sponsor transferred 37,500 founder shares to Marc Zenner and Jon A. Marshall, respectively, for the same per-share purchase price initially paid by the Sponsor.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, we consummated the private sale of an aggregate of 5,933,333 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, to the Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $8,900,000 (the “private placement warrants”). The warrants sold in the private placement, or the private placement warrants, are identical to the warrants included in the units sold in the initial public offering, except that, so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, (1) they will not be redeemable by Sentinel, (2) they (including the shares of Sentinel Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the Sentinel completes its initial business combination and (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis.

157

Upon the closing of the initial public offering and the private placement warrants, approximately $345,000,000 was placed in a trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “trust account”). Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay franchise and income taxes, if any, the Sentinel Charter provides that none of the funds held in trust will be released from the trust account until the earlier of (1) the completion of our initial business combination or (2) the redemption of Sentinel’s public shares if Sentinel is unable to complete an initial business combination by November 7, 2019, subject to applicable law. The proceeds held in the trust account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

After the payment of underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion of $12,075,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions, which amount will be payable upon consummation of our initial business combination if consummated) and approximately $1,000,000 in expenses relating to the initial public offering, approximately $1,000,000 of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and private placement was not deposited into the trust account and was retained by us for working capital purposes. The net proceeds deposited into the trust account remain on deposit in the trust account earning interest. As of September 30, 2018, there was $348,956,985 in investments and cash held in the trust account and $555,272 of cash held outside the trust account available for working capital purposes.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

Sentinel’s initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the business combination. Sentinel will not complete a business combination unless it acquires a controlling interest in a target company or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Sentinel’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed business combination.

Stockholder Approval of Business Combination

Under the Sentinel Charter, in connection with any proposed business combination, Sentinel must seek stockholder approval of an initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public stockholders may seek to redeem their public shares, subject to the limitations described in the prospectus for Sentinel’s initial public offering. Accordingly, in connection with the business combination, the public stockholders may seek to redeem their public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement.

Voting Restrictions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting

158

would be to increase the likelihood that (1) the proposals presented to stockholders for approval at the special meeting are approved and/or (2) Sentinel has sufficient cash available to pay the Minimum Cash Amount. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the business combination. This may result in the completion of our business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

We have until November 7, 2019 to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our business combination by that date (or such later date as our stockholders may approve in accordance with the Sentinel Charter), we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to pay franchise and income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our business combination by November 7, 2019.

Our initial stockholders and our officers and directors at the time of our IPO have entered into letter agreements with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by November 7, 2019. However, if our initial stockholders or our directors and officers at the time of our IPO acquire public shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by November 7, 2019.

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $1,000,000 of proceeds held outside the trust account, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay franchise and income taxes on interest income earned on the trust account balance, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of the IPO, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the trust account, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon our dissolution would be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public stockholders. We cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be less than $10.00. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent accountants), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such

159

agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (1) $10.00 per public share or (2) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations, and we believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below (1) $10.00 per public share or (2) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. We have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations and we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per public share.

We will seek to reduce the possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account. Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including

160

liabilities under the Securities Act. We will have access to up to approximately $1,000,000 from the proceeds of the IPO with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from our trust account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

If we file a winding up petition or a winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable insolvency law, and a liquidator may determine that such funds should be included in our insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third party creditors with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.00 per share to our public stockholders. Additionally, if we file a winding up petition or a winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be subject to challenge under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a “voidable preference”. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our stockholders. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

Properties

We currently lease executive offices at 700 Louisiana Street, Suite 2700, Houston, Texas 77002 from our Sponsor. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations. We have agreed to pay our Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services, that this amount is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.

Employees

Sentinel has three executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Sentinel’s matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to its affairs. Sentinel does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

Sentinel’s board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Marshall, Steger and Levering, will expire at our first annual

163

meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Zenner and Shivram, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office for the third class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Leykum and Gould, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders.

Sentinel’s officers are appointed by Sentinel’s board of directors and serve at the discretion of Sentinel’s board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Sentinel’s board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in Sentinel’s bylaws as it deems appropriate. Sentinel’s bylaws provide that its officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of Sentinel or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of Sentinel’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Zenner, Marshall, Steger and Levering are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Sentinel directors, officers and persons owning more than 10% of shares of common stock to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Based on our review of the copies of such reports furnished to Sentinel and representations from certain reporting persons that CSL Sentinel Holdings, LLC filed a late Form 3 due to clerical error during the year ended December 31, 2017, we believe that all applicable filing requirements were complied with for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Legal Proceedings

There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us or any members of our management team in their capacity as such, and we and the members of our management team have not been subject to any such proceeding in the 12 months preceding the date of this proxy statement.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

Sentinel has registered its securities under the Exchange Act and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, Sentinel’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by Sentinel’s independent registered public accounting firm. Sentinel has filed with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018.

SENTINEL’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement.

On December 28, 2018, we changed our jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “domestication”). As a result, on the effective date of the domestication, each of Sentinel’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares automatically converted by operation of law into one share of Sentinel Class A common stock and one share of Sentinel Class B common stock (as defined below), respectively, and each of Sentinel’s outstanding warrants became warrants to acquire the corresponding number of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock. The following discussion and analysis relates to financial statements covering periods prior to the effectiveness of the domestication. Accordingly, the references in this section of the proxy statement to the Company’s ordinary shares and Cayman Islands law reflect the Company’s status as a Cayman Islands exempted company during such periods.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on June 5, 2017 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“business combination”). On December 28, 2018, we changed our jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. We intend to consummate the business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO that closed on November 7, 2017 (the “initial public offering”) and the simultaneous private placement of warrants to purchase our shares of Sentinel Class A common stock (“private placement warrants”), and from additional issuances of, if any, our equity, or a combination of cash and equity.

The issuance of additional shares of common stock in a business combination:

•

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the initial public offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the shares of Sentinel Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the shares of Sentinel Class B common stock;

•

may subordinate the rights of holders of shares of common stock if preferred stock are issued with rights senior to those afforded our shares of common stock;

•

could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present executive officers and directors;

•

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

•

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our shares of Sentinel Class A common stock and/or warrants to purchase our shares of Sentinel Class A common stock.

On September 30, 2018, we held cash and cash equivalents of $555,272, current liabilities of $901,136 and deferred underwriting compensation of $12,075,000. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.

165

Results of Operations

We have not generated any revenues to date, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. Our entire activity up to September 30, 2018 was related to our company’s formation, the initial public offering, and since the closing of the initial public offering, a search for a business combination candidate. We have and expect to continue to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in Trust Account. We expect to continue to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with the search for an initial business combination target.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we had net income of $604,651, which consisted of interest income of $1,562,392 held in the Trust Account, net of general and administrative costs of $957,741. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we had net loss of $12,966, which consisted of general and administrative costs of $12,966. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had net income of $2,684,370, which consisted of interest income of $3,956,985 held in the Trust Account, net of general and administrative costs of $1,272,615. For the period from June 5, 2017 (date of inception) to September 30, 2017, we had net loss of $16,356, which consisted of general and administrative costs of $16,356.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the initial public offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial sale of the founder shares to our Sponsor, and the proceeds of loans and advances from the Sponsor in the amount of $115,236. Upon the closing of the initial public offering, we repaid our Sponsor $115,236 in settlement of the outstanding loans and advances.

On November 7, 2017, we consummated the IPO of 30,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit generating gross proceeds of $300,000,000 before underwriting discounts and expenses. On November 7, 2017, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we completed the private sale of 5,333,333 private placement warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per private placement warrant to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to Sentinel of approximately $8,000,000. In connection with the initial public offering, the underwriters were granted an option to purchase up to 4,500,000 over-allotment units. On November 9, 2017, we consummated the closing of the sale of 4,500,000 additional units upon receiving notice of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $45,000,000. Simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment option, we consummated the private sale of an additional 600,000 private placement warrants to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $900,000.

Approximately $345,000,000 of the net proceeds from the initial public offering (including the over-allotment units) and the private placements with the Sponsor has been deposited in the trust account. The $345,000,000 of net proceeds held in the trust account includes $12,075,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that will be released to the underwriters of the initial public offering upon completion of our initial business combination. Of the gross proceeds from the initial public offering that were not deposited in the trust account, $6,900,000 was used to pay underwriting discounts and commissions in the initial public offering, $115,236 was used to repay loans and advances from the Sponsor, and the balance was reserved to pay accrued offering and formation costs, business, legal and accounting due diligence expenses on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

We presently have no operating revenue; our net income was $2,684,370 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and consists primarily of administrative fees, professional fees and costs related to our search for a business combination totaling $1,272,615 offset by investment income of $3,956,985. Through September 30, 2018, our liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of approximately $1,000,000 held outside of the trust account from the sale of units upon the closing of the IPO. In the future, a portion of interest income on the funds held in the trust account may be released to us to pay tax obligations.

166

At September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $555,272 and working capital deficit of $217,220.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. The terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.

We may also need to obtain additional financing either to complete an initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our shares of Sentinel Class A common stock upon completion of a business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities in connection with such business combination.

Liquidation and Going Concern

The Company only has 24 months from the closing date of the IPO (or until November 7, 2019) to complete an initial business combination. If the Company does not complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing date of the IPO, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within 24 months of the closing of the IPO. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquire public shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the prescribed time period.

In the event of liquidation, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including trust account assets) will be less than the initial IPO price per unit in the IPO.

This mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after November 7, 2019. As of September 30, 2018, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to meet its future obligations. Management has determined that the Company has access to funds from the Sponsor entity that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the initial business combination or November 7, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that is considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Class A ordinary shares that are subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our balance sheets. Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income applicable to ordinary shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Sentinel has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the initial public offering and the private placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,433,333 Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the Treasury Stock method. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per share of common stock for the period.

Sentinel’s statement of operations includes a presentation of net income (loss) per ordinary share subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, less applicable income tax expense, by the weighted average number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing net income, less income attributable to Class A ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding for the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of shareholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of shareholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. The Company anticipates its first presentation of changes in shareholders’ equity, in accordance with the new guidance, will be included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.

168

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if as an “emerging growth company” we choose to rely on such exemptions, we may not be required to, among other things, (1) provide an independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (2) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (3) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the independent registered public accounting firm’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (4) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions are applicable to us for a period of five years from the date of completion of the IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Strike’s History

Headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, Strike has grown rapidly since its inception, ranking among Inc. 5000’s 2018 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. Strike was founded as Strike, LLC in 2003 by Stephen Pate, who continues to serve as Strike’s Chief Executive Officer, and a few others. In August

170

2013, Strike, LLC became a portfolio company of OEP, a middle market private equity firm focused on the industrial, healthcare and technology sectors in North America and Europe. In November 2016, Strike, LLC created a holding company, Strike, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Strike.

Since its inception in the Eagle Ford and South Texas region, Strike has expanded to over 6,000 employees with more than 30 local service locations across the United States as of September 30, 2018.

Strike’s growth has also been supported by its selective acquisition strategy. In May 2008, Strike acquired Pickett Measurement Systems, Inc. (“Pickett”), a measurement and fabrication services company specializing in skid-mounted measurement equipment. In June 2014, Strike acquired Delta Directional Drilling, LLC (“Delta Directional”), a horizontal directional drilling service provider that performs directional drilling and fiber optic installations. In June 2015, Strike acquired substantially all of the net assets of Circle K of Arkansas, Inc., a pipeline service provider with its primary operations in the Northeastern region of the United States. In December 2016, Strike acquired Crossfire, LLC (“Crossfire”), a pipeline and facilities service provider offering a full suite of infrastructure services operating primarily in the Western region of the United States. The Crossfire acquisition cemented Strike as one of the largest service providers in the Permian Basin and bolstered its presence in the Rockies and Bakken regions. In January 2018, Strike acquired substantially all of the assets of Capstone Energy Services, LLC (“Capstone”), a pipeline and facility service provider primarily servicing the Northeastern region of the United States. The Capstone acquisition solidified Strike’s presence in the Utica and Marcellus shale plays.

Strike’s Operations

Strike operates through two business segments: (1) Infrastructure and Integrity Services and (2) Major Projects.

Infrastructure and Integrity Services

Strike’s IIS segment provides end-to-end support from initial construction to ongoing integrity, maintenance and operations. The IIS segment’s comprehensive service offering includes, among other services:

•

Integrity Programs. Ongoing asset integrity and maintenance programs, often traversing the entirety of client assets.

•

Local Call-Out Programs. Routine operations and maintenance and emergency call out services, often performed by embedded local teams working closely with clients.

•

Upgrade Programs. Enhancements and upgrades to existing assets, often driven by federal and state regulatory requirements.

•

Technical Services. Technical and specialty services, including in-line inspection support, hydrostatic testing, engineering and design, fabrication, instrumentation and electrical, and directional drilling.

171

As of September 30, 2018, the IIS segment operates across the United States, including in the Eagle Ford, Rockies, Permian, Bakken, Marcellus and Utica shale plays, and across thousands of miles of transport pipeline assets and associate facilities across the country. Strike’s local presence allows it to be highly responsive to clients’ needs and to deliver the regional terrain expertise, quick mobilization, and specialized service required for projects. Strike’s locally-based and experienced operational leaders provide clients with a consistent level of high-quality service while also helping Strike develop and maintain long-term relationships with its clients. Recurring work for repeat clients produces embedded Strike crews with high familiarity with clients’ assets.

LOGO

Strike’s clients engage the IIS segment for routine services, including high-frequency, often non-discretionary, small-ticket projects such as integrity testing programs, periodic maintenance, emergency call out response, and upgrades or enhancements to existing assets. These routine services generate a highly visible, recurring revenue stream. High customer retention and a recurring client base provide further visibility into Strike’s revenue streams. 88 percent of the IIS segment’s top 50 clients recur year over year. The IIS segment generates revenue through more than 400 master services agreements with its customers. Additionally, Strike has entered into strategic alliance agreements with many of its top clients, which provide for multi-year, multi-region services and benefit Strike through long-term revenue. These agreements often provide for ongoing integrity and maintenance services, and enable Strike to maintain a broad base of recurring clients.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017 and the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the IIS segment earned approximately $343.1 million, $289.2 million, $638.7 million and $799.0 million, respectively, in revenue before intercompany eliminations.

Major Projects

Strike’s Major Projects segment provides construction services for large-scale pipeline and facility construction projects across the United States, including:

•

Major Pipeline Installations. Specialized in highly technical installations, such as in congested or urban areas, often as part of a large-scale project or programmatic solution.

•

Major Facilities Development. Compressor, meter, and regulatory stations, storage and tank terminals, and civil site preparation.

172

Strike entered the large-scale midstream infrastructure projects market in 2012 and has quickly developed a strong reputation completing projects across the country. The Major Projects segment focuses in highly technical projects involving complex installation or development methods, congested urban locations or difficult terrain, and requiring specialized equipment, broad geographic reach or multi-project coordination. In addition, Strike’s management team believes that it is one of only a small, select group of companies who are able to complete projects of significant size, such as large diameter pipeline installation and major facilities projects.

Strike has made significant investments to develop in-house execution capabilities to execute client projects from start to finish. Strike’s integrated engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) offering is unique to the midstream infrastructure market in providing a fully-integrated, in-house delivery platform with the capability to design, engineer, procure and build midstream infrastructure assets. Comprised of qualified project managers and professional engineers, as well as procurement and environmental, health and safety (“EH&S”) specialists, Strike’s unified EPC approach allows Strike to schedule and budget for projects as a whole, manage critical interdependencies, minimize project costs, involve project managers at the forefront of the engineering phase, identify and resolve issues across projects and disciplines, and improve performance and reporting across projects. Strike’s management team believes it is one of only a few companies in the United States that is able to provide an integrated EPC solution to the infrastructure market without the need to outsource engineering or design services to a sister company or other third party.

Strike is a trusted provider to some of the largest midstream and upstream operators in North America on the development of their most complex and mission critical infrastructure assets. Strike’s Major Projects segment can generally make accurate assessments of its upcoming projects due to its backlog system and generally longer project lead times. In addition, Strike has been relied on by newer and non-traditional private equity backed customers who rely on Strike’s experience and full-service offerings.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017 and the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Major Projects segment earned approximately $374.6 million, $466.3 million, $791.8 million and $506.2 million, respectively, in revenue before intercompany eliminations.

Industry Overview

Demand for maintenance, integrity, and project development services in the midstream sector has grown significantly in recent years, and Strike believes the following key dynamics have driven, and will continue to drive, this growth.

Ongoing focus by operators on the maintenance and integrity of their assets

Increasing regulation and public scrutiny has heightened operator focus on both the safety and integrity of their existing assets. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”), over half of the pipelines in the United States were built before 1970, driving increased spending on maintenance and integrity services.

Continued infrastructure development

Demand for pipeline infrastructure and the related level of oil and natural gas pipeline construction activity in North America has grown significantly in recent years as technological advances have significantly increased producible North American oil and natural gas reserves and changed the geographic sources of North American energy production. This has generated increased demand for new pipeline infrastructure for long-distance transportation of oil and gas production to refining centers, distribution hubs and industrial users throughout North America. In October 2017, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) reported over 2,700 miles of pending natural gas pipeline projects, each with a project length in excess of 100 miles. These long-distance transport projects are likely to further necessitate the build-out of laterals and “last-mile” connection projects through highly congested areas, especially along the Texas Gulf Coast, and across difficult terrains, where Strike management believes it maintains a unique advantage in the market.

173

Increasing regulation and public scrutiny

Growing focus on corporate responsibility and reputational risk drives businesses to proactively address potential EH&S issues in response to intense public scrutiny due to recent high-profile environmental disasters. Regulatory scrutiny and oversight continue to be stringent, with tighter regulations passed in many U.S. states and more major pipeline regulatory acts enacted in the last 20 years than in the prior 100.

Client market consolidation and asset aggregation

Operators continue to consolidate the markets they operate in and aggregate assets in order to drive synergies. The fragmented nature of the midstream industry results in inefficiencies, which may lead to industry consolidation as larger companies acquire smaller, local operators. Clients with larger geographic asset footprints are more likely to value a national single service provider, like Strike, which can provide maintenance and service coverage to their entire asset base. Larger clients that have greater access to capital also are generally more capable of investing in new construction and making mandated and other necessary infrastructure upgrades. As clients expand their market share, service providers may leverage existing client relationships to grow with their clients into new regions.

Client consolidation of vendor spend

As clients continue to combine and expand their asset footprint, they will likely consolidate their vendor relationships away from smaller regional providers and turn to full-service providers, like Strike, with an established presence across key U.S. energy markets and an ability to provide nationwide asset service coverage. Operators are increasingly seeking to shift their spending to larger providers with excellent reputations, a demonstrated track record of safely performing best-in-class services, and the ability to provide a full complement of services across their entire asset footprint.

New investor-backed entrants and non-traditional owners continue to enter the market

According to data from Mergermarket, more than 100 private-equity backed management teams are at work in the North American midstream industry. Many of these new investor-backed companies lack internal capabilities and are increasingly turning to full-service providers such as Strike to assist them in planning and developing projects. New market entrants with in-house personnel may still find that in-house handling of these operational responsibilities may not be an effective solution without adequate knowledge, experience, resources, and staff support. These clients are increasingly turning to one-stop providers like Strike for a full suite of services, integrated EPC capabilities and strong project execution.

Strike’s Competitive Strengths

Leading U.S. provider of full life cycle infrastructure services

Since its founding in 2003, Strike has developed into a national provider of critical infrastructure related services to the U.S. midstream and upstream sectors. Unlike many of its competitors, Strike provides its clients with a single point of contact to handle the full scope of their infrastructure service needs throughout an asset’s life cycle, from project development to installation to ongoing integrity, maintenance, and expansion. Strike offers a full complement of services through its (1) IIS segment, which is focused on providing a comprehensive portfolio of services primarily for existing infrastructure assets and (2) Major Projects segment, which provides differentiated technical expertise and execution capabilities to assist in the development of new, large-scale infrastructure assets across the U.S.

Established and diversified blue-chip client base which is focused on safety and project certainty

Over the last 15 years Strike has developed strong relationships with its customers, which include some of the largest midstream and upstream companies in North America. As a testament to these strong relationships,

174

Strike has entered into strategic alliance agreements with many of its top clients which provide for multi-region services, typically spanning multiple years. Increasing regulation and public scrutiny has heightened Strike’s clients’ focus on the safety and integrity of their assets, and by extension, the safety and execution track record of their service providers. Strike has an industry-leading safety record, as evidenced by its experience modification rate (“EMR”) of 0.48 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to the industry benchmark average of 1.0. EMR measures a company’s claims history and safety record as compared to other businesses in its industry. A lower EMR indicates that a business is less risky than the industry average. Safety remains a core principle of Strike, and for the year ended December 31, 2017, Strike had a total recordable incident rate (“TRIR”) of 0.44 and a lost time injury rate (“LTIR”) of 0.00, compared to the 2017 oil and gas industry average of 0.8 and 0.2, respectively. TRIR and LTIR are measures of an organizations safety performance. TRIR gives Strike, its customers, contractors and investors a look into Strike’s safety performance by calculating the number of recordable incidents per 100 people. A higher TRIR can result in more frequent OSHA inspections, greater OSHA oversight and increased fines. LTIR gives Strike and investors a clearer picture of how these incidents impact the business by calculating the number of incidents that result in time away from work. A higher LTIR may result in higher insurance premiums.

Nationwide footprint with a presence in most major energy markets and a clear path to continue expansion

Strike is able to provide its clients with an integrated service offering across their asset footprint nationwide. Strike has an established presence in most key energy markets with more than 30 local service locations throughout 14 U.S. states, including major energy markets in the South, Rockies and Northeast regions. Strike’s roots are in the heart of major pipeline corridors in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Strike has primarily grown its nationwide presence organically, with select acquisitions in strategic markets, such as its acquisitions of Crossfire and Capstone. The Crossfire acquisition cemented Strike as one of the largest service providers in the Permian Basin and bolstered its presence in the Rockies and Bakken energy markets in the Western region of the United States. The Capstone acquisition solidified Strike’s presence in the Utica and Marcellus shale plays in the Northeastern region of the United States.

Strike’s local presence allows it to be highly responsive to clients’ needs and to deliver the regional terrain expertise, quick mobilization, and specialized service required for projects. Strike’s locally-based and experienced operational leaders provide clients with a consistent level of high-quality service while also helping Strike develop and maintain long-term relationships with its clients. Recurring work for repeat clients produces embedded Strike crews with high familiarity with clients’ assets.

Strike expects to continue to grow its geographic footprint by opening additional locations across the country and expanding its service offerings both organically and through targeted acquisitions. Strike is well-positioned to take advantage of promising adjacent market opportunities, including gas distribution and downstream infrastructure and facilities. Key technical service markets also present opportunities to bring adjacent services in-house, including corrosion surveys and cathodic protection. As Strike expands, its headquarters in The Woodlands, Texas provides centralized corporate and administrative support services to its local offices, including legal, accounting and risk management, creating efficiencies of scale and allowing employees in the field to focus on delivering first-class, consistent services to their clients.

Client-focused solutions supported by long-term client partnerships and differentiated technical expertise and execution capabilities

While maintaining its core focus on maintenance and integrity work, Strike has expanded its capabilities to meet the needs of its clients. Strike specializes in highly technical solutions and various complex installation techniques to meet its clients’ needs. Strike’s Major Projects segment grew from its technical work on live line maintenance and repairs projects, compared to many competitors with origins in more commoditized construction projects. Given this foundation, Strike maintains a competitive advantage on projects in congested locations or difficult terrains requiring use of complex installation or construction techniques.

175

Strike has made significant investments to develop in-house execution capabilities to execute client projects from start to finish. Strike’s integrated EPC offering is unique to the midstream infrastructure market in providing a fully-integrated, in-house delivery platform with the capability to design, engineer, procure and build midstream infrastructure assets. Comprised of qualified project managers and professional engineers, as well as procurement and EH&S specialists, Strike’s unified EPC approach allows Strike to schedule and budget for projects as a whole, manage critical interdependencies, minimize project costs, involve project managers at the forefront of the engineering phase, identify and resolve issues across projects and disciplines, and improve performance and reporting across projects. This EPC capability also allows Strike to work closely with clients as they develop, expand or replace their infrastructure assets. In addition, the EPC offering often enables Strike to become involved with projects at an earlier stage, enabling Strike to identify significant cost savings for its clients and implement more efficient engineering and design solutions. This early involvement can improve project economics and mitigate project execution risk for the client.

Strike’s management team believes it is one of only a few companies in the United States that is able to provide an integrated EPC solution to the infrastructure market without the need to outsource engineering or design services to a sister company or other third party. Customer demand for this unique capability contributes to the high volume of work secured by the Major Projects segment. The following chart shows the percentage of Major Projects revenues during the twelve months ended September 30, 2018 generated by jobs that have either an EPC Master Job or are assigned to an EPC program.

LOGO

Proven scalable platform with a track record of consistent growth across oil and gas cycles

Strike has a demonstrated history of growth through economic and commodity cycles and a proven ability to scale its platform organically. Strike grew its revenue during the Great Recession from 2008 to 2011 and from 2012 to 2017 when oil prices were highly volatile. Irrespective of commodity prices, there is always a need to maintain the existing aging midstream infrastructure and support the movement of commodities to the global marketplace.

The following charts show Strike’s steady increase in revenues and number of customers, respectively, through volatile economic and commodity cycles.

LOGO

176

Strike’s revenues are supported by its principled growth strategy, which includes both organic expansion and targeted acquisitions. Strike’s growth has historically been primarily organic, with Strike executing select acquisitions in strategic markets. Strike’s organic expansion of service lines and geographic presence has been driven by deep relationships with its clients. As Strike’s clients continue to grow their asset footprints, Strike is well positioned to continue to grow alongside them. The chart below shows the percentage of Strike’s revenues during the twelve months ended September 30, 2018 attributable to acquired businesses as compared to home-grown service lines.

LOGO

Experienced and innovative management team supported by a highly experienced board with prior industry leadership

Strike continues to be managed by one of its founding partners and chief executive officer, Stephen Pate, and its named executive officers have an average of over 23 years of experience in the oil and gas sector. Strike’s leadership is supported by an experienced group of entrepreneurial operational leaders overseeing a skilled and dedicated workforce of over 6,000 employees. Strike’s founders and management team will retain a sizable ownership position in the post-combination company. Strike believes that management’s deep industry expertise and in-depth understanding of the needs of Strike’s clients will enhance Strike’s ability to deliver innovative, client-driven solutions. Management has continually invested in the next generation of leaders and has historically promoted primarily from within, creating a strong and consistent company culture that is critical to Strike’s success.

Business Strategy

Capitalize on current market dynamics and client relationships to increase market and wallet share through continued geographic expansion

Strike has a local presence in most key energy markets with a stable, non-union workforce. Strike’s nationwide platform and local expertise allows it to seamlessly and consistently provide its clients with high-quality service across their asset footprints. Strike plans to leverage its long-standing client relationships and geographic reach to transition regional clients into national relationships. As Strike’s existing customers consolidate the markets they operate in and aggregate assets, Strike expects to grow alongside them and increase its market share by extending its service to cover clients’ new and growing operations.

Additionally, market and vendor consolidation at the client level provides an opportunity for Strike to increase its wallet share, or Strike’s percentage of a specific customer’s total spending on a product or service. As operators continue to consolidate the markets they operate in and aggregate assets, they will continue to consolidate their vendor relationships away from smaller regional providers and turn to full-service providers like Strike with an established presence across key U.S. energy markets and the ability to offer nationwide coverage. Strike has an industry leading position in its ability to service an operator’s needs nationwide and across their asset footprint as the majority of the industry consists of smaller local and regional firms.

177

Use growing geographic distribution network to increase market and wallet share through further addition of service offerings

Strike was founded in South Texas to provide reliable and innovative maintenance and integrity services. Since its inception, Strike has developed to be a nationwide provider of full life cycle infrastructure services. Meaningful opportunities exist for Strike to continue to increase the breadth of its service offerings to its clients. In particular, Strike believes that numerous technical services lines present attractive opportunities for Strike to bring additional services, such as corrosion surveys and cathodic protection, in-house and across its distribution network. Strike has a track-record of successfully adding complementary service offerings and implementing them across Strike’s existing geographic distribution network.

The chart below provides examples of two select service lines, Hydro-testing and In-Line Inspection (“ILI”) support services and Instrumentation and Electrical (“I&E”), that Strike has successfully added and distributed across its geographic footprint as such geographic footprint has also continued to expand.

Strike has a history of service line addition and distribution

LOGO

Leverage existing client relationships to continue growth into adjacent markets

Many of Strike’s clients also own and maintain assets in markets adjacent to Strike’s core upstream and midstream asset markets. Strike is well-positioned to take advantage of long-term adjacent market opportunities, including in the gas distribution and downstream infrastructure markets, through continued growth and expansion of these client relationships. Strike believes significant operational alignment and synergies exist in expanding the scope of pipeline and related assets it services to cover the full breadth of pipeline assets in the distribution and downstream pipeline infrastructure space. Given its ability to leverage its existing national platform, Strike also sees an opportunity to grow and expand in such adjacent markets at attractive growth rates upon establishing itself as a larger presence in these markets.

Continued dedication to best-in-class safety culture

Strike’s “safety first” culture stems from its leadership team and is at the core of its operations and service offerings. Strike’s commitment to safety allows it to consistently achieve a safety record above industry standards. Strike’s strong safety record is a key differentiator for clients and an important barrier to entry for other service providers. Coupled with its high standards of quality and environmental stewardship, the leadership team’s commitment to safety ensures quality, safe and reliable service.

178

Strike continues to invest in comprehensive safety and training programs to further strengthen its safety performance. The “Strike Zero” program aims to reduce the number of safety incidents to zero through continuous process improvement, ongoing training and the adoption of new technology. For clients, Strike’s investment in safety education and enforcement translates to a decreased risk of financial, legal and reputational repercussions.

For Strike, the emphasis on safety reduces the risk of workplace injuries and improves productivity. Strike’s “Strike Zero” safety platform and technology have historically shown the ability to grow and maintain effectiveness at scale. The charts below illustrate how Strike has continued to decrease its injury rate and number of automobile accidents as the company has continued to work more hours and drive more miles, respectively.

LOGO

Continued management and mitigation of operational risk through robust, data-driven, internal and estimating controls

Since its founding, Strike has been focused on assessing and minimizing project risk. While Strike serves its clients through its offices nationwide, Strike’s corporate office maintains a centralized control of the review and risk assessment of all new master service agreements and other client agreements, vendor and other third party agreements, and project bids. As part of this review process, Strike utilizes an extensive proprietary project database that assists in assessing project risk and contracting projects appropriately. This centralized control model allows Strike to apply standardized project controls and risk metrics uniformly across its platform creating efficiencies of scale and improving operational efficiency by allowing local operational leaders to focus on delivering first-class consistent service to clients nationwide. These established centralized controls and processes also increase the ease and efficiency at which Strike is able to integrate acquired companies and standardize the risk profiles of acquired companies in a streamlined manner.

Continued development of management and operational leadership

Strike’s ability to attract and retain top talent is critical to its continued success and Strike’s strong safety and service culture. Strike has attracted, and expects to continue to attract, some of the industry’s most experienced and well-regarded operational leaders and skilled employees. Strike has continually invested in the next generation of leaders and has historically promoted primarily from within, creating a single, cohesive culture of entrepreneurship and community leadership across Strike.

179

Strike relies on its strong foundational IIS segment and the technical capabilities often employed in its Major Projects segment to offer employees long-term careers in which they can grow and develop over time to become leaders within the business. Strike’s ability to utilize both segments to provide long-term career employment provides a competitive advantage over competitors with higher turnover rates. Developing key leadership within the organization maintains the core culture of Strike during times of growth. The chart below shows the percentage of employees who have worked in both segments of the business.

LOGO

Pursue a highly selective approach to capital efficient acquisitions

Strike maintains a rigorous and highly disciplined approach to pursuing acquisitions. Strike believes that acquisitions are an attractive method of increasing its presence in existing markets, expanding into new markets, gaining new clients and service offerings and improving operating efficiencies through economies of scale.

Private equity sponsors and many of Strike’s peers are modelled to acquire companies for continued operation on a standalone basis with separate management and administration functions. This limits these peers to target companies with more robust capital management and administrative capabilities, which often trade at a premium. Strike’s platform of centralized control processes and administrative systems enables it to acquire smaller service providers that excel at client service and operational performance, but could benefit from more sophisticated capital and administrative management. This advantage gives Strike the ability to acquire target companies with less sophisticated corporate management controls at a discount and generate greater returns on investment. Strike’s management team has a track record of successfully identifying targets, executing acquisitions, and integrating acquired businesses, such as its acquisitions of Crossfire and Capstone.

Maintain a strong balance sheet to create operational and strategic flexibility

Strike intends to maintain a conservative approach to managing its balance sheet to allow operational and strategic flexibility. Strike carefully manages its liquidity and debt position through monitoring its cash flows and spending levels. On a pro forma basis giving effect to the business combination, as of September 30, 2018, Strike had $0.9 million of cash on hand and $65.3 million of availability under its Amended ABL Credit Agreement (as defined below) and no availability under its Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below), providing it with the flexibility to pursue organic and acquisitive opportunities to grow the business.

Customers

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2018, Strike’s IIS segment had approximately 300 customers, and its Major Projects segment had approximately 30 customers. In fiscal 2015, Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (“Sunoco”), accounted for approximately 13% of Strike’s total revenues. In fiscal 2016, Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains All American”) and Energy Transfer Partners, LP (“Energy Transfer Partners”), accounted for approximately 25% and 15%, respectively, of Strike’s total revenues. In fiscal 2017, Valley Crossing Pipeline, LLC (“Valley Crossing Pipeline”) and Plains All American, accounted for approximately 35% and 14%, respectively, of Strike’s total revenues. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Valley Crossing Pipeline, accounted for approximately 15% of Strike’s total revenues. While the loss of these customers could have a material adverse effect on Strike, Strike’s management believes that its relationship with each customer is good.

Backlog

Strike had a backlog of signed contracts, agreements, and recurring master service agreements of $1.51 billion at December 31, 2017 and $1.30 billion at September 30, 2018. Backlog is the amount of revenue expected to be realized by Strike on its uncompleted contracts, consisting of the portion of revenue relating to work to be performed on contracts, including new contractual agreements on which work has not begun. Backlog also includes eighteen months of projected revenue related to master service agreements or other service contracts, none of which require Strike’s customers to purchase a minimum amount of services and are cancelable on short notice or no advance notice.

Suppliers, Materials and Working Capital

Under many of Strike’s contracts, the customers provide the necessary materials and supplies for projects and Strike is responsible for the installation of, but not the cost or warranty of, those materials. Under certain other contracts, Strike is required to purchase the necessary materials and supplies on behalf of its customers from third-party providers. The price and availability of raw materials may vary from year to year due to market conditions and production capacities. Strike is not dependent on any one vendor and has not experienced significant difficulty in obtaining project-related materials or supplies.

For more information, see “Strike’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Working Capital.”

Seasonality

Seasonal patterns can have an adverse impact on project margins. Strike’s operations are typically affected more by weather conditions during the first and fourth quarters of its fiscal year, when adverse weather conditions can impact project margins, alter construction schedules, and create variability in the required number of employees. In addition, the mix of business conducted in different geographic areas can affect project margins due to the particular characteristics associated with the physical locations where the work is being performed, such as mountainous or rocky terrain versus open terrain. Site conditions, including unforeseen underground conditions, can also impact project margins.

Competition

Strike’s industry is highly competitive and highly fragmented. Strike competes with several large corporations and numerous small, privately owned companies. The national or large regional firms that compete with Strike’s IIS segment include Aegion, Emcor, Mistras, Shawcor and Team. The national or large regional firms that compete with Strike’s Major Projects segment include MasTec, Quanta Services, Primoria and SNC Lavalin.

Certain barriers to entry exist in the markets in which Strike operates, including adequate financial resources, technical expertise, high safety ratings and a proven track record of operational success. Strike competes based upon its industry experience, technical expertise, financial and operational resources, geographic presence, industry reputation, safety record and reputation for customer service. The principal competitive factors for our services include geographic presence, breadth of service offerings, worker and general public safety, price, quality of service, and industry reputation.

Intellectual Property

Strike’s business and operations are not substantially dependent upon patents, trademarks or licenses.

Regulation

Strike’s operations are subject to evolving and often increasingly stringent federal, state and local law and regulations administered by federal, state and local health and safety and environmental agencies and authorities,

181

including OSHA of the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”). Strike is subject to laws that apply to businesses generally, including laws and regulations related to labor relations, equal employment opportunities and wages. For example, Strike is subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, and comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard requires that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and the public. OSHA continues to evaluate worker safety and to propose new regulations, such as but not limited to, the recent rules regarding respirable silica sand. As a service provider Strike may also be subject to contractor licensing requirements, permitting and inspection requirements, and construction codes. Although it is not possible to estimate the financial and compliance impact of any proposed rules, the imposition of more stringent requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Strike believes it has all material licenses and permits needed to conduct operations and that Strike is in material compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. However, Strike could incur significant liabilities if it fails to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

Environmental Matters

Strike is subject either directly or indirectly to laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Numerous federal, state and local governmental agencies, such as the EPA, issue regulations that often require compliance measures that carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties and may result in injunctive obligations for non-compliance or revocation of Strike’s licenses or permits. See “Risk Factors — Strike’s failure to comply with laws and regulations regarding health, safety and protection of the environment could result in significant liabilities or harm its reputation.” In addition, some laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose strict liability for environmental contamination, rendering a person liable for environmental damages and cleanup costs without regard to negligence or fault on the part of that person. Strict adherence with these regulatory requirements increases our cost of doing business and consequently affects our profitability.

Historically, the costs to comply with environmental laws have not been material to Strike’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Strike is not aware of any pending environmental compliance or remediation matters that, in the opinion of management, are reasonably likely to have a material effect on Strike’s business, financial position or results of operations or cash flows. However, environmental laws and regulations have been subject to frequent changes over the years, and the imposition of more stringent requirements or more stringent enforcement could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, reputation and results of operations.

Directional Drilling Activities

Some of the work that Strike performs is in underground environments. If the field location maps are not accurate or do not indicated objects present in the soil, Strike’s underground work could hit objects in the soil containing pollutants. Upon such events, Strike may be liable for fines and damages, incur significant costs and may be unable to obtain reimbursement from the parties providing the incorrect information. Additionally, Strike may perform drilling operations below certain environmentally sensitive terrains and water bodies. It is possible that such directional drilling could cause a surface fracture, resulting in the release of subsurface materials, which may contain contaminants in excess of amounts permitted by law, potentially exposing Strike to remediation costs and fines.

Hazardous Material Handling and Remediation

Certain of Strike’s current and historical construction operations have used hazardous materials. To the extent that such materials are not properly stored, contained, recycled or disposed of, this could trigger additional obligations or liability under environmental laws. Additionally, previously unknown contamination or leaks

182

could be discovered. Strike and it customers may be subject to claims under various environmental laws and regulations, and/or common law doctrines for toxic torts and other damages, as well as for natural resource damages and the investigation and clean-up of soil, surface water, groundwater, and other media under laws such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). Such claims may arise, for example, out of current or former conditions at project sites, current or former properties owned, operated or leased by Strike, or contaminated sites owned or operated by third parties. Liability may be imposed without regard to fault and may be strict and joint and several, such that Strike may be held responsible for more than its share of any contamination or other damages, and it may be unable to obtain reimbursement from the parties that caused the contamination. Furthermore, the presence of contamination from such substances or wastes could interfere with ongoing operations or adversely affect Strike’s ability to sell, lease or use its properties as collateral for financing.

Climate Change

There has been an increased focus on environmental legislation and regulation focused on climate change. Potential new regulations, regulatory actions or requirements, if enacted or implemented, could result in additional charges to Strike’s operations and to Strike’s customers. For example, if new regulations are adopted regulating greenhouse gas emissions from mobile sources such as cars and trucks, Strike could experience a significant increase in environmental compliance costs in light of its large rolling-stock fleet. Additionally, Strike has a substantial investment in construction equipment that utilizes diesel fuel. Any changes in laws requiring Strike to use equipment that runs on alternative fuels could require a significant investment, which could adversely impact its financial performance.

Employees

As of September 30, 2018, Strike had over 6,000 employees, none of whom were represented by unions or were subject to collective bargaining agreements. Strike believes it has good employee relations.

Properties

Facilities

Strike’s executive offices are located at 1800 Hughes Landing Blvd., Suite 500, The Woodlands, TX 77380. The telephone number of its executive office is (888) 353-1444.

Strike leases 62 locations as of September 30, 2018 with leased properties located throughout the United States and the Netherlands. The leases have terms ranging from month-to-month to 13 years, expiring through December 31, 2027. Under these leases, Strike is obligated to make lease payments in the amount of $2.1 million for the remainder of 2018 (which includes amounts covered under month-to-month leases), $6.5 million for 2019, $4.9 million for 2020 and $16.3 million beyond 2020. Strike believes that its facilities are adequate to meet its current and foreseeable requirements for the next several years.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Strike expects to continue making capital expenditures to meet anticipated needs for its services. In fiscal 2017, capital expenditures were approximately $22.5 million. Total construction equipment purchases in fiscal 2017 were $8.2 million. For additional detail of property and equipment, net, as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, see Note 11,“Property and Equipment, Net,” to Strike’s consolidated financial statements.

Strike believes that ownership of equipment is often preferable to leasing to ensure the equipment is available as needed. In addition, ownership has historically resulted in lower overall equipment costs. Strike attempts to obtain projects that will keep its equipment fully utilized in order to increase profit. All equipment is

183

subject to scheduled maintenance to ensure reliability. Maintenance facilities exist at most of Strike’s regional offices as well as on-site on major jobs to properly service and repair equipment. Major equipment not currently utilized is rented to third parties whenever possible.

Legal Proceedings

Strike is subject to a variety of legal cases, claims and other disputes that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. The outcome of such cases, claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on Strike’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Strike assesses these matters on a case-by-case basis as they arise. Strike is not currently a party to any legal proceedings, and it is not aware of any pending or potential legal actions. See Note 2,“Litigation and Contingencies,” to Strike’s consolidated financial statements for additional detail.

Introduction

Strike, a Texas limited liability company established in 2003, is a nationwide provider of end-to-end pipeline and facilities infrastructure solutions. Strike offers a full complement of integrated maintenance, integrity, repair, construction, and technical services to its highly diversified, long-standing client base, which includes some of the largest midstream and upstream companies in North America. Strike’s broad range of services includes installation and maintenance of pipelines and associated facilities, integrity testing, instrumentation, electrical, fabrication, and technical services for the management and operation of midstream assets. In addition, Strike offers engineering support and other professional services. With more than 30 local service locations across key U.S. energy markets, Strike offers nationwide asset maintenance and service coverage to its clients to provide a single, unified solution for maintaining and servicing their entire asset footprint. Strike also provides large-scale pipeline and facilities construction services, with a particular focus on highly technical and complex installation techniques. Strike’s installation capabilities provide its clients with a single service provider for the full scope of their infrastructure needs from initial construction through an asset’s full life cycle.

Strike operates through two business segments: (1) Infrastructure and Integrity Services and (2) Major Projects. Strike’s IIS segment provides end-to-end support from initial construction to ongoing integrity, maintenance, engineering, design, program management and operations. Strike’s Major Projects segment provides construction services for large-scale pipeline and facility construction projects across the United States.

Economic, Industry and Market Factors

We closely monitor the effects that changes in economic and market conditions may have on our customers. General economic and market conditions can negatively affect demand for our customers’ products and services, which can lead to rationalization of our customers’ capital and maintenance budgets in certain end-markets. Fluctuations in market prices for oil, gas and other fuel sources can affect demand for our services. These fluctuations, as well as the highly competitive nature of our industry, can result, and in the past have resulted, in lower bids and lower profit on the services we provide. In the face of increased pricing pressure, we strive to maintain our profit margins through productivity improvements and cost reduction programs. Other market,

186

regulatory and industry factors, such as (1) changes to our customers’ capital spending plans; (2) mergers and acquisitions among the customers we serve; (3) access to capital for customers in the industries we serve; (4) new or changing regulatory requirements or other governmental policy uncertainty; (5) economic, market or political developments; and (6) changes in technology, tax and other incentives could also affect demand for our services. While we actively monitor economic, industry and market factors that could affect our business, we cannot predict the effect that changes in such factors may have on our future results of operations, liquidity and cash flows, and we may be unable to fully mitigate, or benefit from, such changes.

Infrastructure and Integrity Services. IIS results are primarily driven by the following factors:

•

Ongoing maintenance and operations activity. Demand for IIS services is driven by the ongoing maintenance and operational needs of infrastructure asset owners. These needs are largely recurring and nondiscretionary. Aging infrastructure increases the demand for maintenance and spending on compliance.

•

State and federal regulatory requirements. IIS provides its customers with services to assist in their compliance with state and federal regulations for testing, monitoring, and remediation of existing infrastructure assets. These regulations are driven largely by public environmental and safety concerns.

•

Old and aging infrastructure. IIS provides its customers with services to test, repair, and enhance the efficiency of asset infrastructure. Old and aging infrastructure increases client needs for such services to keep their assets in service and operating at an efficient or optimized level.

•

Investment in infrastructure rehabilitation, enhancement, or construction. IIS revenues are positively impacted by increased capital expenditures in new assets and enhancements to existing assets by major asset owners in the energy industry. Capital expenditures are impacted by market activity, product transportation needs, energy commodity prices and business activity in the energy industry.

Major Projects. Major Projects results are primarily driven by the following factors:

•

Large capital investments. Demand for Major Projects services is driven by large capital investments by asset owners in building new major infrastructure to meet product transport needs in the energy and petrochemical markets.

Impact of Seasonality and Cyclical Nature of Business

Our revenue and results of operations can be subject to seasonal and other variations. These variations are influenced by weather, customer spending patterns, bidding seasons, project schedules and timing, in particular for large non-recurring projects and holidays. Typically, our revenue is lowest in the first quarter of the year because cold, snowy or wet conditions cause project delays. Revenue in the second quarter is typically higher than in the first quarter, as some projects begin, but continued cold and wet weather can often impact second quarter productivity. The third and fourth quarters are typically the most productive quarters of the year, as a greater number of projects are underway and weather is normally more accommodating to construction projects. In the fourth quarter, many projects tend to be completed by customers seeking to spend their capital budgets before the end of the year, which generally has a positive impact on our revenue. However, the holiday season and inclement weather can cause delays, which can reduce revenue and increase costs on affected projects. Any quarter may be positively or negatively affected by adverse or unusual weather patterns, including warm winter weather, excessive rainfall or natural catastrophes such as hurricanes or other severe weather, making it difficult to predict quarterly revenue and margin variations.

Additionally, parts of our industry can be highly cyclical. Fluctuations in end-user demand within the industries we serve, or in the supply of services within those industries, can impact demand for our services. As a result, our business may be adversely affected by industry declines or by delays in new projects. Variations in project schedules or unanticipated changes in project schedules, in particular, in connection with large construction and installation projects, can create fluctuations in revenue, which may adversely affect us in a

187

given period, even if not in total. In addition, revenue from master service and other service agreements, while generally predictable, can be subject to volatility. The financial condition of our customers and their access to capital; variations in project margins; regional, national and global economic, political and market conditions; regulatory or environmental influences; and acquisitions, dispositions or strategic investments/other arrangements can also materially affect quarterly results in a given period. Accordingly, our operating results in any particular period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other period.

Components and Factors Affecting our Operating Results

Revenue

We provide integrated maintenance, integrity, repair, construction, and technical services to our customers. We primarily derive revenue from projects performed under time and materials arrangements, cost-plus contracts, fixed price contracts, and unit price contracts.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists principally of salaries, employee incentives and benefits, subcontracted services, equipment rentals and repairs, fuel and other equipment expenses, material costs, parts and supplies, insurance and facilities expenses. Project profit is calculated by subtracting a project’s costs of revenue, including project-related depreciation, from project revenue. Project profitability and corresponding project margins will be reduced if actual costs to complete a project exceed our estimates on fixed price and installation/construction service agreements. Estimated losses on contracts are recognized immediately when estimated costs to complete a project exceed the remaining revenue to be received over the remainder of the contract. Factors impacting our costs of revenue include:

Revenue Mix. The mix of revenue derived from the projects we perform impacts overall project margins, as margin opportunities can vary by project. For example, installation work is often performed on a unit price or fixed price basis, and has a higher level of margin risk than maintenance or upgrade work, which is often performed under pre-established or time and materials pricing arrangements, and may vary from project to project. As a result, changes in project mix between installation work and maintenance or upgrade services can impact our project margins in a given period.

Seasonality, Weather and Geographic Mix. Seasonal patterns can have a significant impact on project margins. Generally, business is slower at the beginning of the year. Adverse or favorable weather conditions can impact project margins in a given period. For example, extended periods of rain or snowfall can negatively impact revenue and project margins as a result of reduced productivity from projects being delayed or temporarily halted. Conversely, in periods when weather remains dry and temperatures are accommodating, more work can be done, sometimes with less cost, which can favorably impact project margins. In addition, the mix of business conducted in different geographic areas can affect project margins due to the particular characteristics associated with the physical locations where the work is being performed, such as mountainous or rocky terrain versus open terrain. Site conditions, including unforeseen underground conditions, can also impact project margins.

Performance Risk. Overall project margins may fluctuate due to project pricing, job productivity and work volume. Job productivity can be affected by quality of the work crew and equipment, availability of skilled labor, environmental or regulatory factors, customer decisions and crew productivity. Crew productivity can be influenced by weather conditions and job terrain, such as whether project work is in a right of way that is open or one that has physical obstructions or legal encumbrances.

Subcontracted Resources. Our use of subcontracted resources in a given period is dependent upon activity levels and the amount and location of existing in-house resources and capacity. Project margins on subcontracted work can vary from those on self-perform work. As a result, changes in the mix of subcontracted resources versus self-perform work can impact our overall project margins.

188

Material versus Labor Costs. In many cases, our customers are responsible for supplying their own materials on projects; however, under certain contracts, we may agree to provide all or part of the required materials. Project margins are typically lower on projects where we furnish a significant amount of materials due to the fact that mark-ups on materials are generally lower than project margins on labor costs. Therefore, increases in the percentage of work with significant materials requirements could decrease our overall project margins.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist principally of compensation and benefit expenses, travel expenses and related costs for our finance, benefits and risk management, legal, facilities, information services and executive functions. General and administrative expenses also include non-cash stock-based compensation expense, outside professional and accounting fees, acquisition costs, including those related to acquisition integration, expenses associated with information technology used in administration of the business and various forms of insurance.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, net, consists of contractual interest expense on outstanding debt obligations, amortization of deferred financing costs and other interest expense, including interest expense related to financing arrangements. Gross interest expense is offset, in part, by interest earned on cash and fixed income investments.

Financial Performance Metrics

Our senior management team regularly reviews certain key financial performance metrics within our business, including:

•

revenue and profitability; and

•

earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which excludes certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. See discussion of our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures in the section entitled “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Revenues.Revenues increased $354.2 million, or 38.3%, to $1,279.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Contributing to the increase was a $40.2 million decrease in revenue from our Major Projects Segment and a $398.3 million increase in revenue from our IIS Segment.

Major Projects Segment.Major Projects revenue decreased $40.2 million, or 7.3%, to $506.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Contributing to $25.4 million of the decrease in revenue was the wind-down of two large pipeline projects in Texas and Arkansas in 2017 partly offset by 2018 revenue associated with two large pipeline awards in Texas and a large compressor station award. The remaining $14.8 million decrease in revenue was associated with timing of remaining backlog.

Infrastructure and Integrity Services Segment.IIS revenue increased $398.3 million, or 99.4%, to $799.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Contributing to the increase was $85.5 million of additional revenue in the NorthEast region stemming primarily from the Capstone acquisition that took place in January of 2018 and a $22.9 million increase in revenue from the Bolt operating unit due to the separate branding of the business and new leadership, coupled with increased levels of activity in the regional business units during the period, primarily in the West Texas and Central regions, which generated $256.7 million of the remaining $289.9 million in additional revenues period over period.

Gross profit.Gross profit increased $33.2 million, or 39.4%, to $117.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 9.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 9.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Contributing to the increase was a $27.6 million decrease, or 47.2%, in gross profit from our Major Projects Segment and a $60.7 million increase, or 235.4%, in gross profit from our IIS Segment.

Major Projects Segment.Major Projects gross profit decreased $27.6 million, or 47.2%, to $30.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Segment gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues decreased to 6.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 10.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Contributing to the decrease was a $17.9 million decline in gross profit due to a commercial contract settlement on a large pipeline project in 2018 coupled with losses on a limited number of facility projects due, in part, to sustained inclement weather and negative impacts of Hurricane Florence, which drove up cost of revenues during the period.

Infrastructure and Integrity Services Segment.IIS gross profit increased $60.7 million, or 235.4%, to $86.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Segment gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues increased to 10.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 6.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Contributing to the increase was additional gross profit related to activity in the NorthEast region stemming primarily from the Capstone acquisition and an overall gross profit increase as a function of revenue increases period over period. The 2017 gross margin percentage was impacted by integration costs from the Crossfire acquisition and lower gross profit levels of newly acquired Crossfire operating units.

Payroll and payroll related costs.Payroll and payroll related costs decreased $3.0 million, or 10.8%, to $25.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Contributing to the decrease period over period was a $9.5 million decrease in bonus accruals due to a discretionary bonus award in 2017 approved by the board, and a $5.5 million decrease in insurance expenses, offset by a $9.0 million increase in payroll expenses due to headcount adds and $3.0 million increase in payments to unit holders.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.1 million, or 6.7%, to $18.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Contributing to the increase was an additional $0.9 million in depreciation from the Capstone acquisition in 2018 coupled with additional depreciation from property and equipment purchased over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

191

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $4.3 million, or 18.2%, to $28.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Contributing to the increase was an additional $1.7 million increase in company-sponsored events expense, $1.0 million increase in insurance-related expenses, $0.5 million increase in vehicle rentals and $1.4 million of additional other expenses to support Strike’s growth partially offset by $0.3 million decrease in professional fees.

Gain (loss) on sale of property and equipment.Gain on sale of property and equipment decreased $0.9 million, or 32.6%, to a gain of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a gain of $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily related to sales of machinery and automobiles during the normal course of business.

Transaction expenses. Transaction expenses increased $2.8 million, or 100%, to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase relates to professional fees in 2018 in connection with the contemplated business combination.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $4.7 million, or 17.5%, to $31.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in interest expense was due to an increased borrowing base and higher interest rates in 2018.

Other income. Other income decreased $31,000, or 106.9%, to expense of $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was related to small miscellaneous income and expense items.

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax expense increased $0.2 million, or 37.2%, to $0.9 million tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. As a limited liability company in 2018 and 2017, the Company was not subject to federal income taxes, as components of its income and expenses flowed through directly to the members. However, the Company was subject to state income taxes and the increase in income tax expense relates to increased state tax obligations in Texas.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA increased $29.3 million, or 58.4%, to $79.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects $21.7 million in additional net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 driven by higher consolidated revenues and gross profit. This change for the period was coupled with increased interest expense of $4.7 million due to an increased borrowing base and higher interest rates in 2018, and transaction expenses of $2.8 million in connection with the contemplated business combination.

Revenues. Revenues increased $654.0 million, or 87.4%, to $1,402.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to a $325.5 million increase in revenue from our Major Projects Segment and a $349.4 million increase in revenue from our IIS Segment. Increased intersegment revenue of $21.0 million is eliminated in consolidation and relates mostly to interdivisional work performed in connection with the Valley Crossing Project.

Major Projects Segment. Major Projects revenue increased $325.5 million, or 69.8%, to $791.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to $437.1 million in additional project volume related to the Valley Crossing Project, partially offset by large projects completed in 2016 that did not carry over into 2017.

Infrastructure and Integrity Services Segment. IIS revenue increased $349.4 million, or 120.8%, to $638.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Infrastructure and Integrity Services Segment. IIS gross profit increased $14.6 million, or 61.9%, to $38.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Segment gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues decreased to 6.0% for the year ended December 31, 2017 from 8.2% for year ended December 31, 2016. Contributing to the increase in gross profit were increased services in West Texas due to increased

194

basin activity and customer spend and increased gross profit from the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) business. The gross margin percentage was impacted in 2017 by integration costs from the Crossfire acquisition and lower gross profit levels of newly acquired Crossfire operating units.

Payroll and payroll related costs. Payroll and payroll related costs increased $15.3 million, or 61.3%, to $40.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to an $7.8 million increase related to increased headcount in connection with the acquisition of Crossfire and to support the Company’s continued growth, $5.3 million increase in employee bonuses paid in 2017 due to the Company’s strong growth in the year ended December 31, 2017 and a $2.2 million increase in payments to certain equity holders reflecting higher bonus payments made in 2017.

Depreciation and amortization.Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.9 million, or 9.8%, to $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to $1.8 million in additional amortization related to the acquisition of Crossfire.

General and Administrative.General and administrative expenses increased $7.6 million, or 32.2%, to $31.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to additional general and administrative expenses that related to the Crossfire acquisition in 2017. Additional increases to support Strike’s growth included $1.8 million in additional property taxes on leased equipment, $0.7 million increase in rent expense for real estate and $0.5 million in additional computer and IT spend.

(Gain) loss on sale of property and equipment.(Gain) loss on sale of property and equipment increased $10.4 million, or 244.8%, to a gain of $6.2 million in 2017 compared to a loss of $4.3 million in 2016. The gain in 2017 was primarily a result of $3.8 million in sales of vehicles and $1.3 million in amortization of a deferred gain on a sales-leaseback transaction from Crossfire. The loss in 2016 was due to the sale of construction mats purchased in 2015.

Interest expense.Interest expense increased $24.4 million, or 187.1 %, to $37.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in interest expense was due to an increased borrowing base, higher interest rates and the addition of a $110.0 million letter of credit facility in connection with the Valley Crossing Pipeline project.

Other income. Other income decreased $0.5 million, or 92.7%, to $41,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 due to aone-timeup-front fee paid by Crossfire to Strike for a shared services agreement in 2016 that was not charged in 2017.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased $0.4 million, or 56.0%, to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. As a limited liability company in 2017 and 2016, the Company was not subject to federal income taxes, as components of its income and expenses flowed through directly to the members. However, the Company was subject to state income taxes and the increase in income tax expense relates to state tax obligations in Texas.

Earnings from investment in affiliate. Earnings from investment in affiliate was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase represented the Company’s 44% share in earnings from the investment in Capstone Energy Services, LLC.

Adjusted EBITDA.Adjusted EBITDA increased $45.5 million, or 88.8%, to $96.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA reflects increased revenues and cost efficiencies on higher levels of production in 2017 contributing to increased net income of $25.9 million period over period coupled with increased interest expense of $24.4 million due to an increased borrowing base, higher interest rates period over period, and the Valley Crossing Pipeline letter of credit added in 2017.

Infrastructure and Integrity Services Segment. IIS gross profit decreased $18.6 million, or 44.1%, to $23.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Segment gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues decreased to 8.2% for the year ended December 31, 2017 from 12.3% for year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily attributed to lower levels of activity in the South and West Texas regions and a lower margin project mix in the Central region.

Payroll and payroll related costs.Payroll and payroll related costs increased $0.2 million, or 0.7%, to $24.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.3 million in payroll related costs due to headcount adds, and an increase of $0.4 million in other various payroll related costs offset by a decrease of $1.7 million in payments to unit holders and a decrease of $1.8 million in insurance costs.

Depreciation and amortization.Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.8 million, or 3.9%, to $19.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily due to lower depreciation expense for property and equipment that became fully depreciated during the year.

General and Administrative.General and administrative expense decreased $0.7 million, or 2.9%, to $23.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily driven by continued cost efficiencies during 2016.

196

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 12.8%, to $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in interest expense was due to entering into the new term loan.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.

However, the Company was subject to state income taxes in Texas and the income tax expense represents the Company’s state tax obligation.

Adjusted EBITDA.Adjusted EBITDA increased $4.5 million, or 9.6%, to $51.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects $9.3 million in increased depreciation and amortization expense in 2016 due to additions of property, equipment and intangibles, $0.4 million increase in acquisition related costs from the Crossfire acquisition and $0.4 million in increased equity-based compensation period over period, offset by $7.1 million in lower net income period over period. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA as well as a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, please see —“Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and funds available under our Amended ABL Credit Agreement and Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement (each as defined below). Our primary liquidity needs are for working capital, capital expenditures, insurance, income taxes and debt service. We regularly evaluate opportunities for strategic acquisitions and investments. We may consider opportunities to borrow additional funds, repurchase, refinance or retire outstanding debt or repurchase additional shares of our outstanding common stock, any of which may impact our cash. We believe that our current cash position, cash generated through operations, and financing arrangements will be sufficient to satisfy the anticipated cash requirements associated with our existing operations for the next twelve months.

Amended ABL Credit Agreement

On November 30, 2016, Strike, Strike, LLC, Delta Directional and Strike Global Holdings, LLC (“Global”; and together with Strike, Delta Directional and any other person that becomes a borrower thereunder, the “ABL Borrowers”) entered into an ABL Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (in such capacity, the “ABL Agent”) and the lenders party thereto (such agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to ABL Loan and Security Agreement, dated March 23, 2018 (“Amendment No. 1”), and amended by Amendment No. 2 to ABL Loan and Security Agreement, dated November 14, 2018, the “Amended ABL Credit Agreement”). The Amended ABL Credit Agreement provides for a $100.0 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The Amended ABL Credit Agreement matures on November 30, 2021. The ABL Borrowers will use the loans to finance their mutual and collective business enterprise.

Effective as of March 23, 2018 pursuant to Amendment No. 1, outstanding loans under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement bear interest at our option at either the base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% or the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%. The applicable margin for loans set forth above will

197

vary based on the average excess availability under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement for the immediately preceding month. Effective as of March 23, 2018 pursuant to Amendment No. 1, the ABL Borrowers will be charged an unused line fee rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.500% on a per annum basis payable quarterly in arrears. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had $65.3 million of available credit capacity under its Amended ABL Credit Agreement.

The borrowing base thereunder equals the sum of the accounts formula amount, plus the unbilled accounts formula amount, minus the availability reserve. The accounts formula account is equal to the sum of (i) 85% of the value of eligible accounts (other than eligible long dated accounts) and (ii) 75% of the eligible long dated account amount, minus the dilution reserve. The unbilled accounts formula amount is equal to the lesser of 70% of the value of eligible unbilled accounts and $25,000,000.

The loans under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid from time to time, without penalty or payment. Mandatory prepayments of the loans under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement are required if an overadvance exists.

The Amended ABL Credit Agreement requires that Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 as of each fiscal quarter end while a trigger period is in effect. A trigger period is the period (a) commencing on the day that excess availability is less than the greater of (i) $12,500,000 or (ii) 12.5% of availability, and (b) continuing until, during the preceding 30 consecutive days, excess availability has been at all times more than the greater of (i) $12,500,000 and (ii) 12.5% of availability.

The Amended ABL Credit Agreement is secured by liens on substantially all assets of the ABL Borrowers and the other guarantors, including without limitation, equity interests in domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting interests in first-tier foreign subsidiaries (subject to limitations as regards foreign subsidiary holding companies).

The Amended ABL Credit Agreement contains, subject to certain carveouts, exceptions and thresholds, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that the ABL Borrowers consider customary for an agreement of this type. If an event of default occurs and continues, the lenders will be permitted to terminate their commitments under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement, accelerate all obligations under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement and exercise other rights and remedies.

Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement

On November 30, 2016, Strike, LLC (the “Term Loan Borrower”) entered into a Term Loan and LC Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (in such capacity, the “Term Loan Agent”) and the lenders party thereto (such agreement, as amended by the Incremental Joinder dated March 27, 2018, and Amendment No. 1 to Term Loan and LC Loan and Security Agreement dated November 14, 2018, the “Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for $325.0 million of term loans (the “Term Loans”) and a $100.0 million letter of credit commitment, which letter of credit commitment expired on August 31, 2018. The Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement matures on November 30, 2022 (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”).

Outstanding Loans under the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at our option at either the base rate, plus 7.00%, or the LIBOR rate, plus 8.00%, each per annum. The Term Loan Borrower is required to make quarterly amortization payments. As of March 31, 2018, the quarterly amortization payments are $4,111,842.11, with the balance due at the Term Loan Maturity Date. If the Term Loan Borrower prepays any Term Loans prior to November 30, 2017, such prepayment will be at a premium of 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Terms Loans so prepaid, and if the Term Loan Borrower prepays any Term Loans between November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2018, such prepayment will be at a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid.

198

Subject to certain thresholds, the Term Loan Borrower is required to prepay the loans under the Amended Term Loan Agreement upon receipt of net cash proceeds from certain dispositions and casualty/condemnation events and the incurrence of indebtedness, other than indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement. In addition, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, the Term Loan Borrower is required to make an annual prepayment of the loans under the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement equal to a percentage of excess cash flow.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement is secured by liens on substantially all assets of the Term Loan Borrower and the other guarantors, including without limitation, equity interests in domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting interests in first-tier foreign subsidiaries (subject to limitations as regards foreign subsidiary holding companies).

The Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement contains, subject to certain carveouts, exceptions and thresholds, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that the Term Loan Borrower considers customary for an agreement of this type. If an event of default occurs and continues, the lenders will be permitted to terminate their commitments under the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement, accelerate all obligations under the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement and exercise other rights and remedies.

Capital Expenditures.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we spent approximately $22.5 million on capital expenditures. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we spent approximately $14.4 million on capital expenditures and incurred approximately $28.7 million of equipment purchases under capital lease and other financing arrangements. We estimate we will spend approximately $4.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and between approximately $15.0 million and $25.0 million on capital expenditures in fiscal year 2019. We anticipate our cash on hand, existing borrowing capacity under our Amended ABL Credit Agreement, and future cash flows from operations will provide the funds needed to meet our customer demand and anticipated capital expenditures in fiscal year 2019.

Working Capital.

We need working capital to support seasonal variations in our business, primarily due to the effect of weather conditions on external construction and maintenance work which depends on the spending patterns of our customers. Working capital needs are generally higher during the summer and fall months due to increased demand for our services when favorable weather conditions exist in many of the regions in which we operate. Conversely, working capital needs are typically converted to cash during the winter months. These seasonal trends, however, can be impacted by changes in the timing of projects, affected by project delays or accelerations and/or other factors that may affect customer spending. Working capital requirements typically increase when we commence multiple projects or large projects due to certain costs, including subcontractor costs and inventory becoming payable before the receivables resulting from work performed are collected. In addition, fluctuations in working capital period over period are impacted by the timing of billing milestones and payments made by customers during the reported period.

The following table sets forth general information derived from Strike’s statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and nine months ended September 30, 2017:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Cash and Cash Equivalents.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $0.9 million and $11.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Operating Activities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $31.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, attributed to a net income of $12.7 million primarily adjusted for: $18.2 million in depreciation of property and equipment, $8.5 million in amortization of intangible assets, $2.7 million in amortization of deferred loan costs, $2.4 million in equity-based compensation, offset by $1.8 million gain on sales of property and equipment. Our operating cash flows were negatively impacted by a net $74.5 million decrease from our working capital components primarily driven by an increase in contract assets due to work performed but not yet billed, a decrease in accounts payable due to timing of payment to our vendors, and a decrease in contract liabilities where the Company incurred less to billingsup-front for procured materials. The decrease in working capital components was partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses due to the timing in payment of our vendors, and a decrease in accounts receivable due to payments by customers made during the period.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was attributed to a net loss of $8.9 million primarily adjusted for: $23.6 million in depreciation of property and equipment, $3.7 million in amortization of intangible assets, $2.5 million in amortization of deferred loan costs, $2.1 million in equity-based compensation and partially offset by $0.5 million in earnings from equity method investment related to Crossfire, and a $2.6 million gain on sale of property and equipment. Our operating cash flows were negatively impacted by a $0.9 million decrease from our working capital components primarily driven by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the timing of payments to our vendors during the period, and an increase in contract liabilities where the Company was able to billup-front for procured materials. This increase was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable due to timing of payments of our customers.

Investing Activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $15.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was attributed to $14.4 million in purchases of property and equipment, $4.2 million in cash paid for acquisition, net of cash acquired offset by $2.8 million in proceeds from disposal of property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities was $27.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was attributed to $28.3 million in purchases of property and equipment offset by $0.6 million in proceeds from disposal of property and equipment.

Financing Activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $36.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to $75.0 million in proceeds from long-term debt from the incremental borrowing from term loan in March of 2018, offset by $20.8 million in principal payments on long-term debt, $6.0 million in payments on the revolving line of credit, $1.2 million in payments for deferred loan costs and $10.3 million in distributions to members.

Net cash used by financing activities of $7.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to $16.2 million in principal payments on long-term debt, $1.4 million in distributions to members, $0.2 million in payments for deferred loan costs, offset by $10.0 million in proceeds from long-term debt.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2016 and the period ended December 31, 2015

Cash and Cash Equivalents.

At December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 we had $11.7 million, $18.9 million, and $1.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Operating Activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $15.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 was attributed to net income of $13.6 million primarily adjusted for: $25.6 million in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, $12.4 million in amortization of intangible assets, $3.5 million in amortization of deferred loan costs, $2.9 million in equity-based compensation, $1.3 million in provision for bad debts and partially offset by a $6.2 million gain on sale of property and equipment. Our operating cash flows were also negatively impacted by a net $37.3 million decrease in our working capital components primarily driven by an increase in accounts receivable, largely due to the timing of payments on large contracts and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets which relates to prepaid materials for a project to commence in early 2018. The decrease in cash flows from working capital components was partially offset by increased accounts payable and accrued expenses due to timing in payment of our vendors, and billings in excess of cost and earnings, which increased due to a major project where the Company was able to billup-front for procured materials.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 was attributed to a loss of $12.3 million primarily adjusted for: $30.1 million in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, $14.3 million in amortization of intangible assets, $2.4 million in amortization of deferred loan costs, $3.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt, $2.5 million in equity-based compensation and a $4.3 million loss on sale of property plant and equipment. In addition, operating cash flows were negatively impacted by a net $32.2 million decrease in our working capital components. The net decrease in cash flows from working capital components was primarily driven by a decrease in accounts payable due to the timing in payment of our vendors coupled with an increase in accounts receivable.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $44.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 was attributed to a loss of $5.2 million primarily adjusted for: $19.8 million in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, $16.1 million in amortization of intangible assets, $1.6 million in amortization of deferred loan costs, $2.1 million in equity-based compensation offset slightly by a $1.7 million gain on sale of property and equipment. In addition, operating cash flows were positively impacted by a net $11.9 million increase in our working capital components. The net increase in cash flows from working capital components was primarily driven by an increase in accounts payable due to the timing of payments to our vendors, an increase in billings in excess of costs and earnings where the Company is able to billup-front for procured materials and a decrease in accounts receivable due to timing of payments from our customers. This increase was offset by an increase in costs in excess of billings and prepaid expenses and other current assets and a decrease in accrued expenses.

201

Investing Activities.

Net cash used in investing activities of $17.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 was attributed to $22.5 million in purchases of property and equipment offset by $5.4 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment which relates primarily to the sale of vehicles from the Crossfire acquisition.

Net cash used in investing activities of $7.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 was attributed to $14.3 million in purchases of property and equipment offset by $6.7 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities of $19.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 was attributed to $12.1 million in cash paid for acquisition, net of cash acquired, $21.2 million in purchases of property and equipment offset by $14.0 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.

Financing Activities.

Net cash used in financing activities of $5.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 was primarily due to $27.3 million of principal payments on long-term debt and $3.4 million in distribution payments to members. This was offset by $25.0 million in net repayments on the revolving line of credit.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $12.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due $242.5 million in proceeds from long-term debt. This was offset by $206.4 million in principal payments on long-term debt, $11.5 million in distribution payments to members, $10.8 million in payments for deferred loan costs and $1.0 million in net repayments on the revolving line of credit.

Net cash used in financing activities of $29.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to $22.4 million in principal payments on long-term debt, $15.5 million in net repayments on the revolving line of credit, $4.9 million in distribution payments to members and $1.0 million in payments for deferred loan costs. This was offset by $14.1 million from the issuance of member units.

Contractual Obligations

The table below presents Strike’s significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2017. Since December 31, 2017, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations, other than an additional $75.0 million incremental term loan borrowing pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement entered into on May 30, 2018 with the maturity date of May 30, 2022. We expect to fund these contractual obligations with cash generated from operating activities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s audited condensed consolidated financial statement and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). To supplement Strike’s financials presented in accordance with GAAP, additionalnon-GAAP financial measures are provided and reconciled in the following tables.

Strike provides supplementalnon-GAAP financial information that Strike’s management utilizes to evaluate its ongoing financial performance and provide additional insight to investors as supplemental information to its GAAP results. Strike uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to provide a baseline for analyzing trends in its business and to exclude certain items that may not be indicative of its core operating results. The use ofnon-GAAP financial information should not be considered as alternative to, or more meaningful than, the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, because thesenon-GAAP measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP, such measures are susceptible to differing calculations, and not all comparable or peer companies calculate theirnon-GAAP measures in the same manner as Strike. As a result, thenon-GAAP financial measures presented in this proxy statement may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Thesenon-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Further Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Further Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures not determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and other certain items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to revenue, net. We define Further Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA plus, solely for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a $17.9 million adjustment related to a one-time commercial contract settlement entered into in the third quarter of 2018 in anticipation of the business combination, based on management’s estimates.

We exclude the items listed below from net income when arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending on accounting methods, values of assets, capital structures and the methods by which assets were acquired. Certain items that we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital, tax structure, equity-based compensation as well as historical costs of depreciable and amortizable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. We include a $17.9 million adjustment in calculating Further Adjusted EBITDA because Sentinel and Strike believe the commercial contract settlement to which this amount relates to be attributable to Strike’s anticipation of the business combination and therefore not indicative of Strike’s normal operating results. As such, Sentinel and Strike considered this settlement amount to be relevant in evaluating Strike’s financial results in connection with the business combination. However, Strike does not intend to present Further Adjusted EBITDA as part of its historical financial results following the consummation of the business combination. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Further Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expense and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time we prepare our consolidated financial statements. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ materially from our assumptions and estimates.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in our audited historical consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement. Management believes that the following accounting estimates are those most critical to fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

We provide services pursuant to master service agreements, repair and maintenance contracts and fixed price and non-fixed price installation contracts. Pricing under these contracts may be competitive unit price, cost-plus, time and materials basis or fixed price (or lump sum basis), and the final terms and prices of these contracts are frequently negotiated with the customer. Under our time and materials type contracts, we recognize revenue as services are performed.

Revenues from construction contracts are generally recognized using the percentage of completion method. The extent of progress toward completion is measured based on the cost to cost method. Contract costs include

204

all direct materials, labor and subcontract costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. The cost estimation process is based on professional knowledge and experience of our engineers, project managers and financial professionals. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected contract settlements are factors that influence estimates of total contract value and total costs to complete those contracts and, therefore, the Company’s profit recognition.

Management reviews estimates of contract revenue and costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in these factors may result in revisions to costs and income, and their effects are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations in the period in which such changes are recognized. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

As discussed in Note 2, “—Revenue Recognition,” of the Notes to Strike’s Consolidated Financial Statements, effective for the year ended December 31, 2017, we adopted the new revenue recognition guidance using the modified retrospective transition method. The new guidance will be applied to contracts with customers that were not substantially complete as of January 1, 2018. Our financial results for reporting periods after January 1, 2018 will be presented under the new guidance, while our financial results for prior periods will continue to be reported in accordance with the prior guidance and our historical accounting policy. We have completed our evaluation of the impact of the new guidance on our contracts with customers, including identification of differences that will result from the new requirements. Based on this evaluation, we recorded a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings from adoption as of January 1, 2018 will be approximately $1.5 million. Our disclosures related to revenue recognition will expand to address new quantitative and qualitative requirements regarding the nature, amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers and additional information related to contract assets and liabilities.

The current asset (historically referred to as “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” and called “Contract assets” following the adoption of ASC Topic 606) represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed for contracts accounted for under the cost-to-cost method. The liability (historically referred to as “Billings in excess of costs incurred and estimated earnings of uncompleted contracts” and called “Contract liabilities” following the adoption of ASC Topic 606) represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

We may incur costs subject to change orders, whether approved or unapproved by the customer, and/or claims related to certain contracts. We determine the probability that such costs will be recovered based upon evidence such as past practices with the customer, specific discussions or preliminary negotiations with the customer or verbal approvals. We treat items as costs of contract performance in the period incurred if it is not probable that the costs will be recovered or will recognize additional revenue if it is probable that the contract price will be adjusted and can be reliably estimated.

Change orders are modifications of an original contract, which effectively change deliverables under a contract. Either the Company or its customers and suppliers may initiate change orders. Change orders may include, among other things, changes in specifications or design, manner of performance, equipment, materials, scope of work, and/or the period of completion of the project. Change orders occur when changes are experienced after the original contract has been executed.

Change orders are included in the total estimated contract revenue when it is probable that the change order will result in additional value that can be reliably estimated and realized. The Company defers recognition of the entire amount of revenue or a portion thereof associated with unapproved change orders if there is substantial uncertainty as to amounts involved or ultimate realization. The Company recognizes revenues from claims to the extent the related costs have been incurred, the value can be reliably estimated and recovery is probable. As of September 30, 2018, the Company included approximately $39.6 million of change orders and/or claims in the

205

transaction price for certain contracts that were in the process of being resolved in the normal course of business. There were no such change orders or claims outstanding as of December 31, 2017.

The Company considers subcontractor claims to be amounts in excess of the agreed contract price that subcontractors at times seek to collect from the Company for alleged Company-caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, unapproved change orders, or other causes of unanticipated costs. The Company periodically evaluates outstanding claims against the Company and estimates the monetary exposure of those claims based on contract provisions, prior experience with the subcontractor, and other known and available information and data. The Company provides for any material known claims believed to be measurable and probable of settlement with a claimant in their cost estimates. Actual settlement of claims may be significantly different than the Company’s estimate, which may result in additional direct contract costs or reduction to direct contract costs recognized in the period when settlement occurs. There were no such claims as of September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

Valuation of Goodwill

We have recorded goodwill in connection with our historical acquisitions of companies and acquisition of Strike by OEP in 2013. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company performs its annual impairment tests of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year. Further, goodwill is monitored by management for potential impairment triggers. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment level, which is referred to as a component. Management identifies its reporting units by assessing whether components (1) have discrete financial information available; (2) engage in business activities; and (3) have a segment manager regularly review the component’s operating results. Net assets and goodwill of acquired businesses are allocated to the reporting unit associated with the acquired business based on the organizational structure of the combined entities. If two or more components are deemed economically similar, those components are aggregated into one reporting unit when performing the annual goodwill impairment review. Under this methodology, we have identified six reporting units within the Company.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an update intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step in the two-step goodwill impairment test. The update requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and to recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The income tax effect associated with an impairment of tax deductible goodwill is also considered in the measurement of the goodwill impairment.

Our annual goodwill impairment assessment is performed in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently if events or circumstances arise which indicate that goodwill may be impaired. For instance, a significant change in business climate or loss of a significant customer may trigger the need for interim impairment testing of goodwill for our reporting units. The quantitative impairment test involves comparing the fair value of our reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded as a reduction to goodwill with a corresponding charge to “Asset impairment charges.”

Valuation of Other Intangible Assets

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business acquisitions are recorded at their fair values determined by management as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the transaction consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. We amortize intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations over their estimated useful lives unless their useful lives are determined to be indefinite. For certain business combinations, we utilize independent valuations to assist us in estimating the fair value of purchased intangibles. Our intangible assets include trade names, backlog, customer relationships, and software, all of which are subject to amortization with the exception of one trade name with an indefinite life.

206

The value of these identifiable intangible assets are determined using a combination of the income approach through the application of discounted cash flow projections, relief from royalty methods, or contractual nature of the future benefits. The useful lives of these assets are determined by estimating the period of economic benefit of the intangible asset and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the that estimated useful life or term of related agreements as indicated above.

Identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually. As of December 31, 2017, the Company prepared an analysis to determine if there was any impairment. The analysis did not result in an impairment charge as the fair value of the trade name exceeded its carrying amount. The impairment analysis assumed earnings growth for the Company over the next five years. Should this growth not occur or if there were changes to any other key assumptions used in the analysis, a potential impairment charge in a future period may occur.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The Company concluded there were no indicators evident or other circumstances present that these assets were not recoverable and accordingly, no impairment losses have been recognized for the periods presented.

Income Taxes

We follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. The realizability of deferred tax assets are evaluated annually and a valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not give rise to future benefits.

We regularly evaluate valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets for which future realization is uncertain, including in connection with changes in tax laws affecting these assets. The estimation of required valuation allowances includes estimates of future taxable income. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. If actual future taxable income differs from our estimates, we may not realize deferred tax assets to the extent estimated.

We record reserves for income taxes related to certain tax positions in those instances where we consider it more likely than not that additional taxes may be due in excess of amounts reflected on income tax returns filed. When recording reserves for expected tax consequences of uncertain positions, we assume that taxing authorities have full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. We continually review exposure to additional tax obligations, and as further information is known or events occur, changes in tax reserves may be recorded. To the extent interest and penalties may be assessed by taxing authorities on any underpayment of income tax, such amounts have been accrued and included in the provision for income taxes.

The Company follows guidance issued by the FASB which clarifies accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the

207

income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement.

In accordance with this guidance, the Company has elected to record income tax related interest and penalties, if any, as a component in the provision of income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred no material income tax related interest or penalties. The Company completed its analysis of its tax positions and believes there are no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company believes that there are no tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would significantly increase or decrease unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Currently, our market risks relate to potential changes in the fair value of our long-term debt due to fluctuations in applicable market interest rates. Going forward our market risk exposure generally will be limited to those risks that arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative, non-operating transactions, nor do we utilize financial instruments or derivative instruments for trading purposes.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash balances are maintained in financial institutions which at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions in which accounts are maintained and has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations as to the financial condition of its customers with respect to trade receivables. Generally, no collateral is required as a condition of sale. The Company’s consideration of allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon current market conditions and other factors.

209

Board Composition

StrikeCo’s business affairs will be managed under the direction of its board of directors. StrikeCo’s board of directors will consist of seven members.

StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter provides, subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, that the number of directors, which will be fixed at seven members, may be increased or decreased from time to time by a resolution of StrikeCo’s board of directors. In addition, each director shall be elected annually at each annual meeting of stockholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof). The directors shall hold their office for a term of one year or until their respective successors are elected and qualified, subject to such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

Director Independence

Upon the Closing, we anticipate that the size of the post-combination company’s board of directors will be seven directors, six of whom will qualify as independent within the meaning of the independent director guidelines of the NYSE. We anticipate that Messrs. Gould, Shivram, Leykum, Marshall, Zenner and Gardner will be “independent directors” as defined in the rules of the NYSE and applicable SEC rules.

The rules of the NYSE require that a majority of StrikeCo’s board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person who, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).

Committees of the Board of Directors

Effective upon completion of the business combination, StrikeCo’s board of directors will establish the following committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The proposed composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by StrikeCo’s board of directors.


Audit Committee	Compensation Committee	Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Mr. Zenner *	Mr. Shivram *	Mr. Gardner *
Mr. Shivram	Mr. Leykum	Mr. Gould
Mr. Marshall	Mr. Gould	Mr. Zenner
Mr. Leykum	Mr. Gardner	Mr. Marshall
Mr. Gardner

*	Denotes chairman

Audit Committee

StrikeCo’s audit committee will oversee StrikeCo’s corporate accounting and financial reporting process. Among other matters, the audit committee will:

•

appoint our independent registered public accounting firm;

•

evaluate the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance;

•

determine the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm;

•

review and approve the scope of the annual audit and the audit fee;

210

•

discuss with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the results of the annual audit and the review of StrikeCo’s quarterly financial statements;

•

approve the retention of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform any proposed permissible non-audit services;

•

monitor the rotation of partners of the independent registered public accounting firm on StrikeCo’s engagement team in accordance with requirements established by the SEC;

•

be responsible for reviewing StrikeCo’s financial statements and StrikeCo’s management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations to be included in StrikeCo’s annual and quarterly reports to be filed with the SEC;

•

review StrikeCo’s critical accounting policies and estimates; and

•

review the audit committee charter and the committee’s performance at least annually.

The initial members of the audit committee will be Marc Zenner, Krishna Shivram, Jon A. Marshall, Charles S. Leykum and Lee Gardner, with Mr. Zenner serving as the chair of the committee. Under the rules of the SEC, members of the audit committee must also meet heightened independence standards. We anticipate that our board of directors has determined that all of the members of the audit committee will be independent directors as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE with respect to audit committee membership. We also believe that Mr. Zenner qualifies as our “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K. Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the audit committee, which will be available on our corporate website atwww.strikeusa.com/investors upon the completion of the business combination. The information on our website is not part of this proxy statement.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee will review and recommend policies relating to compensation and benefits of our officers and employees. Among other matters, the compensation committee will:

•

review and recommend corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of our chief executive officer and other executive officers;

•

evaluate the performance of these officers in light of those goals and objectives and recommend to our board of directors the compensation of these officers based on such evaluations;

•

recommend to our board of directors the issuance of stock options and other awards under our stock plans; and

•

review and evaluate, at least annually, the performance of the compensation committee and its members, including compliance by the compensation committee with its charter.

The initial members of StrikeCo’s compensation committee will be Krishna Shivram, Charles S. Leykum, Andrew Gould and Lee Gardner, with Mr. Shivram serving as the chair of the committee. We anticipate that three of the members of our compensation committee will be independent under the applicable rules of the NYSE, and each will be “non-employee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the compensation committee, which will be available on our corporate website at www.strikeusa.com/investors upon the completion of the business combination. The information on our website is not part of this proxy statement.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for making recommendations to StrikeCo’s board of directors regarding candidates for directorships and the size and composition of StrikeCo’s

211

board of directors. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for overseeing StrikeCo’s corporate governance policies and reporting and making recommendations to StrikeCo’s board of directors concerning governance matters.

The initial members of StrikeCo’s nominating and corporate governance committee will be Lee Gardner, Andrew Gould, Marc Zenner and Jon A. Marshall, with Mr. Gardner serving as the chair of the committee. We anticipate that each of the members of StrikeCo’s nominating and corporate governance committee will be an independent director under the applicable rules of the NYSE relating to nominating and corporate governance committee independence. Our board of directors plans to adopt a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee, which will be available on our corporate website at www.strikeusa.com/investors upon the completion of the business combination. The information on our website is not part of this proxy statement.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Effective upon the consummation of the business combination, StrikeCo will adopt a code of business conduct and ethics that will apply to all of its employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. The code of business conduct and ethics will be available after the Closing on StrikeCo’s website at www.strikeusa.com/investors. StrikeCo expects that, to the extent required by law, any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on its website.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters

StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter that will become effective immediately following the business combination contains provisions that limit the liability of StrikeCo’s directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, StrikeCo’s directors will not be personally liable to StrikeCo or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:

•

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to StrikeCo or its stockholders;

•

any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•

unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or

•

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter that will become effective immediately following the business combination and its bylaws provide that StrikeCo is required to indemnify its directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. StrikeCo’s bylaws also provide that StrikeCo is obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit StrikeCo to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether StrikeCo would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under Delaware law. StrikeCo expects to enter into agreements to indemnify its directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by its board of directors. With specified exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. StrikeCo believes that these bylaws provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. StrikeCo will also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against StrikeCo’s directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against StrikeCo’s directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit StrikeCo and its stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that StrikeCo pays the costs of settlement and damage.

212

Post-Combination Company Executive Compensation

Following the Closing, the combined company intends to develop an executive compensation program that is designed to align compensation with the combined company’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling the combined company to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to the long-term success of the combined company. Decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by the compensation committee of the board of directors.

Director Compensation

Following the completion of the business combination, StrikeCo’s compensation committee will determine the annual compensation to be paid to the members of StrikeCo’s board of directors.

Strike, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan

The combined company intends to establish the Strike, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan. For more information on the Incentive Plan, please see the section titled “The Incentive Award Plan Proposal” included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

213

214

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The primary objectives of Strike, LLC’s executive compensation program are to attract and retain talented executives and motivate its named executive officers to support Strike, LLC’s business objectives by paying for performance with annual bonus opportunities. Strike, LLC did not specifically benchmark the compensation of its named executive officers against that paid by other peer group companies for its fiscal year 2018, but its Board of Directors and Compensation Committee generally take such information into account in making compensation related decisions. However, Strike, LLC engaged FW Cook and Sentinel engaged Longnecker & Associates, both compensation consultants, to assist with benchmarking and to provide guidance with respect to Messrs. S. Pate’s, R. Jessen’s and C. Pate’s new employment agreements to become effective upon consummation of the business combination and as described below under “Employment Agreements.”

Overview

Strike, LLC’s Board of Directors and Compensation Committee administer Strike, LLC’s executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving base salaries and bonuses for named executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to executive compensation and may make individual decisions regarding discretionary bonus awards.

Compensation Components

Strike, LLC’s compensation program has historically had two primary components consisting of base salary and annual cash bonuses. Strike, LLC also offers its named executive officers retirement savings opportunities, health and welfare benefits and perquisites that supplement the two primary components of compensation.

Base Salaries

The base salaries for Strike, LLC’s named executive officers are subject to minimum amounts established in accordance with their respective employment agreements, which are described below in “Employment Agreements.” With the exception of the base salaries for Mr. Smart and Mr. Heckt (which increased from $450,000 to $550,000 on September 11, 2015), the base salaries paid to each of Strike, LLC’s named executive officers have not changed since the named executive officers entered into their current employment agreements with Strike, LLC. For 2018, the base salaries for the named executive officers are as provided in the “Salary” column of the “2018 Summary Compensation Table” below.

Annual Bonuses

Annual bonus awards are used to reward and motivate Strike, LLC’s named executive officers for achieving key financial and operational business objectives. The annual bonus awards are generally payable based on Strike, LLC’s performance. Strike, LLC believes that a significant portion of the compensation paid to Strike, LLC’s named executive officers should be based on its annual performance so that the executives are appropriately motivated to maximize Strike, LLC’s operating performance each year.

215

Pursuant to their employment agreements, the named executive officers’ annual bonuses are performance-based opportunities and are intended to reward the executives for achievingpre-determined revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization goals (“Bonus EBITDA”) of Strike, LLC, as reflected in the following table:


Name	Percentage of Bonus EBITDA Target Achieved	Bonus Amount Paid (as Percentage of Base Salary)
Stephen V. Pate	80% 100% 120%	50% 100% 125%
Robert J. Jessen	80% 100% 120%	25% 50% 75%
A. Cole Pate	80% 100% 120%	50% 100% 125%
Jason Heckt	80% 100% 120%	50% 75% 125%
Kacey Smart	80% 100% 120%	50% 75% 125%

If the actual Bonus EBITDA achieved is between two target levels, the executive’s performance bonus percentage is interpolated on a straight-line basis between the target levels. The named executive officers must be employed on January 1 following the applicable bonus year in order to be entitled to receive payment of the annual bonus. The bonus is paid promptly following the issuance of Strike, LLC’s audited financial statements with respect to the applicable bonus year, but in no event later than March 15th following the taxable year with respect to which the bonus is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

For 2018, the Bonus EBITDA target was $111,800,000 and was calculated differently than EBITDA, Adjusted EBTIDA and Further Adjusted EBTIDA as defined herein. Generally, the Bonus EBITDA contemplates adjustments for categories permitted as addbacks under the company’s credit agreements, including but not limited to certain taxes, extraordinary and/or unusual events, and other items, subject to the Compensation Committee’s discretion and approval. The percentage of the Bonus EBITDA target achieved in 2018 is dependent on Strike Capital, LLC’s financial results as reflected in their 2018 audited financial statements, which are not available at this time. The percentage of the Bonus EBITDA target achieved in 2018 will be disclosed on a Form8-K once it is determined.

Strike, LLC’s named executive officers are also eligible for discretionary annual bonuses from time to time, which are determined based on both individual performance and the performance of Strike, LLC. There is no formal bonus program and no set formula or specific performance measure for determining discretionary annual bonuses. Discretionary annual bonus awards for these named executive officers are based on the Chief Executive Officer’s subjective judgment. Mr. Jessen received a discretionary bonus in the amount of $25,000 for fiscal year 2018 based on his contributions to Strike, LLC’s positive performance and his leadership role within the finance department. None of Strike, LLC’s other named executive officers received discretionary bonuses in respect of fiscal year 2018.

Further information about bonuses paid to Strike, LLC’s named executive officers are contained in the “2018 Summary Compensation Table” below.

216

Equity Compensation

Strike, LLC has not historically granted equity compensation to its named executive officers. However, following the closing of the business combination, StrikeCo anticipates making long-term incentive awards under the Incentive Plan to Messrs. S. Pate, R. Jessen, and C. Pate. It is currently anticipated that each of these awards will be structured as follows: 50% in the form of restricted stock units and 50% in the form of performance units, each vesting ratably over a three-year period, with the following aggregate grant date dollar values: S. Pate — $4,000,000; R. Jessen — $1,250,000; and C. Pate —$2,700,000. In addition, StrikeCo anticipates making an additional grant of restricted stock units with a grant date value equal to $2,000,000 to Mr. C. Pate in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement and Disclosure Letter. For more information regarding the Incentive Plan, see “The Incentive Award Plan Proposal” on page 127.

Retirement Benefits

Strike, LLC sponsors the Strike, LLC 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), which is atax-qualified retirement savings plan that permits Strike, LLC’s eligible employees, including the named executive officers, to defer a portion of their annual salary to the 401(k) Plan on apre-tax basis. Strike, LLC makes safe harbor matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 3% of employee eligible compensation and 50% of the next 2% of employee eligible compensation, contributed to the plan as a deferral. Strike, LLC may also make qualified nonelective contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Employees are 100% immediately vested in safe harbor matching contributions and qualifiednon-elective contributions.

Perquisites

Strike, LLC’s named executive officers are also eligible to receive other benefits, which Strike, LLC believes are commensurate with the types of benefits and perquisites provided to similarly situated executives of other similar companies. These benefits consist of car allowances, country club dues, payment of roadway tolls, and payment of the full cost of medical insurance premiums for the executives and their families (which is not offered to employees of Strike, LLC in positions below certain management levels).

Employment Agreements

Current Employment Agreements

Strike, LLC entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. S. Pate, C. Pate, Smart, and Heckt on August 30, 2013, which agreements provide that they will serve as the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President and Executive Vice President of Strike, LLC respectively and will receive base salaries of $1,250,000, $1,000,000, $450,000, and $450,000 respectively, which base salaries will be reviewed annually but may not be decreased. Such employment agreements provide that Messrs. S. Pate, C. Pate, Smart, and Heckt will be eligible for annual cash bonuses as described above under the heading “Annual Bonus.” Messrs. S. Pate, C.

Such executives (or their estate if applicable) are entitled to payment of compensation and benefits accrued before termination of employment in the event of an involuntary termination for cause, voluntary termination without good reason, or termination due to death or disability.

217

Messrs. S. Pate, C. Pate, Smart, and Heckt’s employment agreements include obligations to not disclose Strike, LLC’s confidential information or trade secrets at any time, disparage the company at any time, or solicit the company’s customers or employees or compete with the company within the United States for two years following termination of employment. The employment agreements also provide that any incentive-based compensation or other compensation paid to such executives pursuant to the employment agreements or any other arrangement by Strike, LLC or any related entity that is subject to recovery under any applicable law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement, or any policy adopted by Strike, LLC or any related entity will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required.

Mr. Jessen is party to an employment offer letter with Strike, LLC, dated October 3, 2017, that provides he will serve as the Chief Financial Officer of Strike, LLC and will have an annual base salary of $450,000 and an annual bonus as described above under the heading “Annual Bonus.” His offer of employment includes a transaction bonus upon completion of a sale of Strike, LLC in an amount that is determined based on the amount realized per unit of Strike, LLC by its unitholders in such transaction. This amount is not determinable at this time, but is estimated to be in the range of $550,000 to $750,000, depending on net debt at the time of the closing of the business combination, net working capital adjustments, and other items that may affect equity value per unit. Mr. Jessen’s offer letter also provides that Strike, LLC paid $2,121.77 per month for three months of Mr. Jessen’s and his family’s continued participation in his prior employer’s medical plan (through COBRA) upon his start date with Strike, LLC and that Mr. Jessen will be eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan as described above. Mr. Jessen’s offer letter also provides that he will have unlimited paid time off and will continue to serve on the Board of Directors of Strike, LLC.

New Employment Agreements

Strike, LLC anticipates that new employment agreements will be entered into by and between each of Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen, and C. Pate and Strike, LLC effective upon the closing of the business combination.

The new employment agreements for Messrs S. Pate, Jessen and C. Pate will supersede each named executive officer’s current employment agreement or offer letter (as applicable) and provide that such individual will serve as the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer respectively with base salaries of $950,000, $575,000, and $750,000 respectively. The new employment agreements also provide that beginning with the 2019 fiscal year, Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen and C. Pate will be eligible for annual cash target bonus opportunities of 125%, 80% and 100% of base salary respectively, with maximum bonus payable equaling 250%, 160% and 200% of base salary respectively. Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen and C. Pate will also be entitled to monthly car allowances pursuant to their new employment agreements in the amounts of $1,500, $1,000, and $1,000 respectively, reimbursements of fuel and/or mileage, and up to $15,000 each in annual club membership dues or fees. The new employment agreements also provide that Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen and C. Pate will be entitled to receive, subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan and any corresponding award agreements, an equity award opportunity with a grant date value of $4,000,000, $1,250,000 and $2,700,000, respectively. Half of such equity compensation awards will be in the form of restricted stock units vesting in three annual tranches, and half of such equity compensation awards will be in the form of performance units subject to performance-based vesting over a three-year period. Such awards are contingent upon approval of such grants by our compensation committee, registration of the underlying shares of our stock on a FormS-8 and listing of such shares on a national securities exchange. The new employment agreements also provide that Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen and C. Pate will be entitled to unlimited paid vacation days and full company-paid medical insurance premiums and other group insurance plans for the named executive officers and their spouses and dependents.

The new employment agreements may be terminated by either party for any reason upon 30 days’ written notice to the other party. If Strike, LLC terminates the employment of Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen or C. Pate without cause or if one of such named executive officers terminates his employment for good reason, in each case, other than in connection with a change in control of Strike, LLC, such named executive officer will be entitled to receive severance compensation in the form of a lump sum payment equal to the sum of: 300% of his then

218

current base salary and 100% of his then applicable target annual bonus for Mr. S. Pate, and 200% of his then current base salary and 100% of his then applicable target annual bonus for each of Messrs. Jessen and C. Pate. In the event that Strike, LLC terminates the employment of Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen or C. Pate without cause or one of such named executive officers terminates his employment for good reason within twenty-four (24) months following a change in control, such named executive officers will instead be entitled to receive severance compensation in a lump sum payment equal to the sum of: 300% of his then current base salary and 200% of his then applicable target annual bonus for Mr. S. Pate, and 250% of his then current base salary and 200% of his then applicable target annual bonus for Messrs. Jessen and C. Pate. Upon any termination by Strike, LLC without cause or by Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen and C. Pate for good reason, such named executive officers will be entitled to full vesting of any awards outstanding under the Incentive Plan (or any such successor plan). Upon the termination of the executive’s employment with Strike, LLC for any reason, including for cause or the executive’s voluntary termination of his own employment, such executive shall be entitled to payment of any base salary earned but unpaid through the date of termination, earned but unpaid annual bonus and prorated portions thereof for fiscal years completed prior to termination, vested benefits, and any unreimbursed expenses; provided, however, that if any of an executive’s employment is terminated by Strike, LLC for good cause, then any annual bonus in respect of a prior fiscal year, but not yet paid or due to be paid, shall be forfeited by such executive.

Pursuant to the new employment agreements, in the event of Messrs. S. Pate’s, Jessen’s or C. Pate’s termination of employment by Strike, LLC without cause or one of them voluntary terminates his employment for good reason, such named executive officer will be entitled to reimbursement for the costs of COBRA medical insurance premiums for continued participation by such named executive officer, his spouse, and his eligible dependents in Strike, LLC’s group healthcare plan for an eighteen (18) month period for Mr. S. Pate and for a twelve (12) month period for Messrs. Jessen and C. Pate. Following the expiration of such COBRA continuation period, such named executive officers will be entitled to receive a monthly cash payment equal to the total monthly COBRA premium for a period of six (6) months. However, if the named executive officer is receiving severance compensation in connection with a change in control as provided above, then following the expiration of the COBRA continuation period, he will instead be entitled to receive monthly cash payments for a period of eighteen (18) months for Mr. S. Pate and twelve (12) months for Messrs. Jessen and C. Pate.

Messrs. S. Pate’s, Jessen’s and C Pate’s new employment agreements require execution andnon-revocation of a general release of all current and past claims against Strike, LLC and all of its present and past agents, officers, employees, directors, executives, shareholders, and benefit plans in exchange for payment of the severance compensation and benefits described above. Such employment agreements also include restrictive covenant obligations to not disclose Strike, LLC’s confidential information or trade secrets at any time, disparage Strike, LLC at any time, solicit the customers or employees of Strike, LLC, interfere with Strike, LLC’s business relationships, or compete with Strike, LLC during the individual’s employment and for two years following termination of employment. The employment agreements provide that any breach of such restrictive covenants by Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen or C. Pate will require such named executive officer to forfeit and return any and all severance compensation.

Finally, the new employment agreements provide that if any amounts payable to Messrs. S. Pate, Jessen or C. Pate would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, or similar state or local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such tax, then such payment shall be reduced if, and only to the extent that, such reduction will allow such named executive officer to receive a greater net after tax amount than he would receive absent such reduction.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding (1) the actual beneficial ownership of Sentinel’s common shares as of January 15, 2019 and (2) expected beneficial ownership of StrikeCo common stock immediately following consummation of the business combination, assuming that no public shares are redeemed, and alternatively the maximum number of public shares are redeemed, by:

•

each person who is, or is expected to be, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock;

•

each of our current executive officers and directors;

•

each person who will become a named executive officer or director of StrikeCo post-business combination; and

•

all executive officers and directors of Sentinel as a group pre-business combination and all executive officers and directors of StrikeCo post-business combination.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the beneficial ownership percentages set forth below do not take into account (a) public warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the business combination and may be exercised thereafter (commencing 30 days after the Closing) or (b) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the business combination under the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex D.

The beneficial ownership of shares of Sentinel common stock pre-business combination is based on 43,125,000 shares of Sentinel common stock issued and outstanding (of which 34,500,000 are shares of Sentinel Class A common stock and 8,625,000 are shares of Sentinel Class B common stock) as of January 15, 2019.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of StrikeCo common stock post-business combination assuming no public shares are redeemed has been determined based upon the following assumptions: (i) no Sentinel stockholder has exercised its redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for their shares of Sentinel Class A common stock; (ii) none of the investors set forth in the table below has purchased or purchases shares of Sentinel Class A common stock in the open market; (iii) 6,013,928 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are issued to the Blocker Seller pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, (iv) 2,200,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are issued to CSL Energy pursuant to the CSL Subscription Agreement; (v) 11,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are issued to the Fidelity Investors pursuant to the Fidelity Subscription Agreement, (vi) 1,800,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are issued to the Invacor Sellers pursuant to the Contribution Agreement; (vii) 24,550,760 shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock are issued to the Continuing Members pursuant to the Transaction Agreement; (vi) the founder shares convert on a one-for-one basis into an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock; and (ix) there will be an aggregate of 88,689,688 shares of StrikeCo common stock issued and outstanding (consisting of 64,138,928 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock and 24,550,760 shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock) at Closing.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of StrikeCo common stock post-business combination assuming the maximum number of public shares have been redeemed has been determined based on the following assumptions: (i) holders of 32,632,412 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock have exercised their redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for their shares of Sentinel Class A common stock; (ii) none of the investors set forth in the table below has purchased or purchases shares of Sentinel Class A common stock in the open market; (iii) 6,013,928 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are issued to the Blocker Seller pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, (iv) 2,200,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock

223

are issued to CSL Energy pursuant to the CSL Subscription Agreement; (v) 11,000,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are issued to the Fidelity Investors pursuant to the Fidelity Subscription Agreement, (vi) 1,800,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock are issued to the Invacor Sellers to the Contribution Agreement; (vii) 24,550,760 shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock are issued to the Unit Sellers who retain a certain number of equity interests in Strike following the Closing pursuant to the Transaction Agreement; (vi) the founder shares convert on a one-for-one basis into an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock; and (ix) there will be an aggregate of 56,057,276 shares of StrikeCo common stock issued and outstanding (consisting of 31,506,516 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock and 24,550,760 shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock) at Closing.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Sentinel or StrikeCo securities, as applicable, beneficially owned by them.

The founder shares are designated as shares of Sentinel Class B common stock and are identical to the shares of Sentinel Class A common stock included in the units, and holders of founder shares have the same stockholder rights as public stockholders, except that (1) holders of the founder shares have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the initial business combination, (2) the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (3) the initial stockholders, and the Company’s other officers and directors at the time of the IPO have entered into letter agreements with Sentinel, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of the business combination, (4) the founder shares are shares of Sentinel Class B common stock that will convert into shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock at the time of the initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights, as described herein and (5) the founder shares are subject to registration rights. Furthermore, Sentinel’s initial stockholders have agreed to vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the initial business combination.

In August 2017, the Sponsor surrendered 5,750,000 of its shares of Sentinel Class B common stock for no consideration, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of Sentinel Class B common stock. The shares of Sentinel Class B common stock represent 20.0% of Sentinel’s issued and outstanding shares. As described above, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option in connection with the initial public offering in full, and therefore none of the shares of Sentinel Class A common stock were forfeited.

Sentinel’s initial stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their shares of Sentinel Class A common stock until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the business combination or (B) subsequent to the business combination, (x) if the last sale price of Shares of Sentinel Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the business combination, or (y) the date on which Sentinel completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of Sentinel’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

The Sponsor and Sentinel’s officers and directors will agree, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their private placement warrants until 30 days after the completion of the business combination.

In October 2017 and April 2018, the Sponsor transferred 37,500 founder shares to Marc Zenner and Jon A. Marshall, respectively, both of whom are independent directors of Sentinel, at the original purchase price.

Private Placement Warrants

Upon the closing of the initial public offering on November 7, 2017 and November 9, 2017, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,933,333 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per whole warrant

227

(approximately $8,900,000 in the aggregate) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering. Each whole private placement warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Sentinel’s share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the private placement warrants was added to the proceeds from the initial public offering held in the trust account. If the business combination is not completed within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the private placement warrants will expire worthless. The private placement warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Registration Rights

The holders of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock, private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the shares of Sentinel Class A common stock, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Sentinel Class A common stock) pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed on or before the date of the prospectus for the initial public offering. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights.

However, the registration rights agreement provides that Sentinel will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. Sentinel will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Advances from Related Parties

On June 12, 2017, the Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $200,000 to cover expenses related to our initial public offering pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2017 or the completion of our initial public offering. During the period June 5, 2017 (date of inception) through December 31, 2017, we utilized advances from the Note to pay expenses and offering costs incurred totaling $115,236. Upon the closing of our initial public offering, we paid $115,236 in full settlement of the Note.

The Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor paid certain administrative expenses on behalf of Sentinel. These advances were due on demand and were non-interest bearing. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, these related parties paid certain administrative expenses on behalf of Sentinel in the amount of $4,793 and $94,168, respectively. The outstanding balance on the advances was repaid in full as of September 30, 2018.

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the date the units were first listed on the Nasdaq, Sentinel agreed to pay the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial business combination or Sentinel’s liquidation, Sentinel will cease paying these monthly fees. Sentinel paid $3,642 and $16,005 for such expenses under the administrative service agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Option Agreement

On November 2, 2017, Sentinel entered into an option agreement (“Option Agreement”) pursuant to which CSL Energy Opportunities Fund III, L.P. and CSL Energy Holdings III, Corp, LLC (“Option Holders”) agreed to purchase an aggregate of up to 10,000,000 units (the “Co-Investment Units”), consisting of one share of Class A common stock (the “Co-Investment Shares”) and one-third of one warrant to purchase one share of Class A

228

common stock (the “Co-Investment Warrants,” and together with the Co-Investment Shares, the “Co-Investment Securities”), for $10.00 per unit (the “Exercise Price”), or an aggregate maximum amount of $100,000,000, immediately prior to the closing of Sentinel’s initial business combination.

The Option Holders have indicated to us that, in light of their commitment under the CSL Subscription Agreement, they do not intend to exercise their right to purchase the Co-Investment Units pursuant to the Option Agreement.

Existing Sentinel Related Party Policy

Prior to the consummation of Sentinel’s initial public offering, we adopted a code of ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by Sentinel’s board of directors (or the appropriate committee of Sentinel’s board of directors) or as disclosed in Sentinel’s public filings with the SEC. Under Sentinel code of ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving Sentinel. A form of the code of ethics that was adopted prior to the consummation of Sentinel’s initial public offering was filed as an exhibit to the registration statement relating to Sentinel’s initial public offering.

In addition, Sentinel’s audit committee, pursuant to a written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the audit committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. A form of the audit committee charter that we plan to adopt prior to the consummation of Sentinel’s initial public offering is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement relating to Sentinel’s initial public offering. We also require each of Sentinel’s directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of Sentinel’s Sponsor, officers or directors unless we, or a committee of independent directors, have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA that Sentinel’s initial business combination is fair to Sentinel company from a financial point of view. Furthermore, no finder’s fees, reimbursements or cash payments will be made to Sentinel’s Sponsor, officers or directors, or Sentinel or their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of Sentinel’s initial business combination, other than the following payments, none of which will be made from the proceeds of Sentinel offering held in the trust account prior to the completion of Sentinel’s initial business combination:

•

payment to our Sponsor for office space, utilities and secretarial support of up to $10,000 per month; and

•

reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by Sentinel from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of Sentinel’s officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, provided, that, if Sentinel does not consummate an initial business combination, a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account may be used by Sentinel to repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds from the trust account are used for such repayment.

229

Sentinel Agreements

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, StrikeCo, the Blocker Seller, the Continuing Members, the Sponsor and Marc Zenner and Jon A. Marshall, will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex G to this proxy statement. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement will amend, restate and replace in its entirety the registration rights agreement, entered into by Sentinel, the Sponsor and Mr. Zenner in connection with Sentinel’s initial public offering, in order to provide substantially similar registration rights to each of the signatories to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which StrikeCo will be required to register for resale all of the (1) founder shares; (2) private placement warrants; (3) shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants; (4) shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock into which the Retained Company Units and StrikeCo Class B common stock may be exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement; (5) any outstanding shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock or any other equity securities (including shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or exchange of any equity security) of StrikeCo held by a party to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement or their affiliates as of the date of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement; and (6) other equity securities issued or issuable with respect to any Registrable Security by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (including upon exercise of the private placement warrants) (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) held by each of the parties thereto.

The Registrable Securities will consist of an aggregate of approximately 39,109,093 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock and 5,933,333 private placement warrants. In addition, as described under “CSL Subscription Agreement” and “Fidelity Subscription Agreement” below, StrikeCo will also be required to register 13,200,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock issuable pursuant to the Subscription Agreements.

StrikeCo will be required, within 45 days after the consummation of the business combination, to file a registration statement registering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities. In addition, if an underwritten offering is reasonably expected to result in gross proceeds of at least $10 million, the holders of Registrable Securities will be entitled to demand no more than either (1) one underwritten offering during one 180-day period; (2) a total of three underwritten offerings initiated by the Sponsor; or (3) a total of three underwritten offerings initiated by Pate Holding. The holders of Registrable Securities will also have certain “piggy-back” rights with respect to the underwritten offerings initiated by StrikeCo or other StrikeCo stockholders.

StrikeCo will be required to bear all expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements and any such offerings, other than underwriting discounts and commission on the sale of Registrable Securities and the fees and expenses of counsel to holders of Registrable Securities. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement also will include customary provisions regarding indemnification and contribution.

Contribution Agreement

In connection with its entry into the Transaction Agreement, on October 18, 2018, Sentinel entered into a purchase and contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Strike, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Strike (“Strike LLC”), CSL Energy Holdings III Corp, LLC (“CSL Holdings”) and Invacor Pipeline and Process Solutions, LLC, an entity under common control with CSL Holdings (“Invacor” and, together with CSL Holdings, the “Invacor Sellers”), pursuant to which (1) immediately prior to the Closing, the Invacor Sellers have agreed to transfer all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Pipelogic Interests”) in Pipelogic Services, L.L.C. (“Pipelogic”) to Sentinel in exchange for 1,800,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock and (2) immediately following the Closing, Sentinel has agreed to contribute the Pipelogic Interests to Strike LLC in exchange for 1,800,000 units of Strike.

On October 18, 2018, Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc., which we refer to as Houlihan Lokey, rendered its opinion addressed to Sentinel’s board of directors as to, as of such date, the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the aggregate consideration of 1,800,000 shares of Sentinel Class A common stock (at $10.00 per share) to be paid by Sentinel for the Pipelogic Interests pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. Houlihan Lokey’s opinion was directed to Sentinel’s board of directors (in its capacity as such) and only addressed the aggregate consideration to be paid by Sentinel for the Pipelogic Interests pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and did not address any other aspect or implication of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding. The full text of Houlihan Lokey’s written opinion is attached as Annex N to this proxy statement and describes the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Houlihan Lokey in connection with the preparation of its opinion. Houlihan Lokey’s opinion is not intended to be, and does not constitute, advice or a recommendation to Sentinel’s board of directors, any security holder of Sentinel or any other person as to how to act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the business combination or any related transaction. Houlihan Lokey was engaged by Sentinel solely to provide the opinion.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Upon consummation of the business combination, the StrikeCo board will adopt a written related person transaction policy that sets forth the following policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions.

A “Related Person Transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which StrikeCo or any of its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “Related Person” means:

•

any person who is, or at any time during the applicable period was, one of StrikeCo’s officers or one of StrikeCo’s directors;

•

any person who is known by StrikeCo to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock;

•

any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law of a director, officer or a beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, officer or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock; and

•

any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is a partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has a ten percent (10%) or greater beneficial ownership interest.

234

StrikeCo will have policies and procedures designed to minimize potential conflicts of interest arising from any dealings it may have with its affiliates and to provide appropriate procedures for the disclosure of any real or potential conflicts of interest that may exist from time to time. Specifically, pursuant to its Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee will have the responsibility to review related party transactions.

235

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following description of the StrikeCo capital stock reflects StrikeCo’s capital stock as it will exist as of the effective time of the business combination. The StrikeCo capital stock will be governed by StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter, its bylaws and the DGCL. This description is a summary and is not complete. We urge you to read StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter, which will be in effect as of the effective time of the business combination and a form of which is included as Annex C to this proxy statement and is incorporated herein by reference, in its entirety.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

The Proposed Charter authorizes the issuance of 451,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (x) 450,000,000 shares of common stock, including (1) 400,000,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, (2) 50,000,000 shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share and (y) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The outstanding shares of StrikeCo common stock will be, and the shares of common stock issuable in connection with the business combination pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and the private placement will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. As of the record date for the special meeting, there were outstanding 43,125,000 shares of Sentinel common stock, of which 34,500,000 were public shares, held of record by approximately one holder, 8,625,000 were shares of Sentinel Class B common stock, held by our initial stockholders, and there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 17,433,333 warrants outstanding held of record by approximately four holders. Such numbers do not include DTC participants or beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.

Common Stock

StrikeCo Class A Common Stock

The StrikeCo Class A common stock will have all the rights, powers and privileges provided for in the Proposed Charter.

StrikeCo Class B Common Stock

The Proposed Charter provides that the StrikeCo Class B common stock will not be entitled to receive dividends, if declared by StrikeCo’s board of directors, or to receive any portion of any such assets in respect of their shares upon liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the post-combination company.

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of StrikeCo common stock will possess all voting power for the election of StrikeCo’s directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and will at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of StrikeCo. Holders of StrikeCo common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Dividends

Holders of StrikeCo Class A common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions, if any, as may be declared from time to time by StrikeCo’s board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions. Holders of StrikeCo Class B common stock are not entitled to share in any such dividends or other distributions.

236

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of StrikeCo, the holders of StrikeCo Class A common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of StrikeCo’s assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied and after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of StrikeCo. Holders of StrikeCo Class B common stock are not entitled to receive any portion of any such assets in respect of their shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock.

Preemptive or Other Rights

StrikeCo’s stockholders will have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to StrikeCo common stock.

Election of Directors

There will be no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors. StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter establishes a declassified board of directors with each member of the board of directors being elected annually. Each director will be subject to election by a plurality of votes cast at each annual meeting of StrikeCo stockholders.

Preferred Stock

StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. StrikeCo’s board of directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. StrikeCo’s board of directors will be able, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of StrikeCo’s board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of StrikeCo or the removal of existing management. Sentinel has no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof. Although StrikeCo does not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, StrikeCo cannot assure you that it will not do so in the future.

Capital Structure Prior to the Business Combination

Prior to the date of this proxy statement, we changed our jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “domestication”). As a result, on the effective date of the domestication, each of Sentinel’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares automatically converted by operation of law into one share of Sentinel Class A common stock and one share of Sentinel Class B common stock (as defined below), respectively, and each of Sentinel’s outstanding warrants became warrants to acquire the corresponding number of shares of Sentinel Class A common stock. Accordingly, all references to Sentinel in this proxy statement refer to the post-domestication company.

The following is a summary of Sentinel’s authorized share capital after the domestication and prior to the business combination. On the effective date of the business combination, each currently issued and outstanding shares of Sentinel Class A common stock and Sentinel Class B common stock will convert into one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Sentinel Charter. StrikeCo will also issue shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock. In addition, each of Sentinel’s outstanding whole warrants will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock in accordance with its terms.

We are providing stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the Closing, their public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two

237

business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay franchise and income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the founder shares and any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the business combination.

We will consummate the business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock that are voted in person or by proxy at the special meeting are voted in favor of the business combination proposal at the special meeting. However, the participation of our sponsors, officers and directors, or their affiliates in privately negotiated transactions (as described in this proxy statement), if any, could result in the approval of the business combination even if a majority of the stockholders vote, or indicate their intention to vote, against the business combination.

Our initial stockholders and our other officers and directors at the time of the IPO have entered into letter agreements with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the business combination. Public stockholders may elect to redeem their public shares whether they vote for or against the business combination.

Pursuant to the Sentinel Charter, if we are unable to consummate an initial business combination by November 7, 2019, we will (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay franchise and income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Our initial stockholders and our other officers and directors at the time of the IPO have entered into letter agreements with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares held by them if we fail to complete our business combination by November 7, 2019. However, if our Sponsor, officers or directors acquire public shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our business combination within the prescribed time period.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of StrikeCo after our initial business combination, holders of StrikeCo common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.

Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock, except that upon the consummation of our initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein, we will provide our stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

Founder Shares

238

stockholder rights as public stockholders, except that (1) holders of the founder shares have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the initial business combination, (2) the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (3) the initial stockholders and Sentinel’s other officers and directors at the time of the IPO have entered into letter agreements with Sentinel, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of the business combination, (4) the founder shares are shares of Sentinel Class B common stock that will convert into shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock at the time of the initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights, as described herein and (5) the founder shares are subject to registration rights. Furthermore, Sentinel’s initial stockholders have agreed to vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the initial business combination.

In the case that additional shares of Sentinel Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the initial public offering and related to the Closing, the ratio at which the shares of Sentinel Class B common stock shall convert into shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Sentinel Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of StrikeCo Class B common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Sentinel Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of StrikeCo common stock outstanding upon completion of this offering plus all shares of Sentinel Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the business combination).

Our initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any founder shares held by them until one year after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination or earlier if, subsequent to our business combination, (1) the last sale price of our shares of common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination or (2) we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Preferred Stock

The Sentinel Charter provides that preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the shares of common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. Sentinel has no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof. Although StrikeCo does not currently intend to issue any preferred stock, StrikeCo cannot assure you that it will not do so in the future.

Warrants

Public Warrants

Upon the Closing, each whole warrant will entitle the registered holder to purchase one share of StrikeCo Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the business combination. A warrant holder may exercise its

239

warrants only for a whole number of shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. The warrants will expire five years after the date on which they first became exercisable, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

StrikeCo will not be obligated to deliver any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to its satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and StrikeCo will not be obligated to issue a share of common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will StrikeCo be required to net cash settle any warrant.

StrikeCo will be obligated to file as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of its initial business combination, and to use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if its common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that the shares of common stock satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, StrikeCo may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event it so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the warrants become exercisable, StrikeCo may call the warrants for redemption:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

•

if, and only if, the reported closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before StrikeCo sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable, StrikeCo may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

StrikeCo has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and StrikeCo issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price (for whole shares) after the redemption notice is issued.

240

If StrikeCo calls the warrants for redemption as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” StrikeCo’s management will consider, among other factors, its cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on its stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. If StrikeCo’s management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If StrikeCo’s management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. If StrikeCo calls the warrants for redemption and its management does not take advantage of this option, the holders of the private placement warrants and their permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

A holder of a warrant may notify StrikeCo in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as specified by the holder) of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

If the number of outstanding shares of common stock is increased by a share dividend payable in common stock, or by a split-up of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of common stock. A rights offering to holders of common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share dividend of a number of shares of common stock equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock) multiplied by (2) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of common stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (1) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, in determining the price payable for shares of common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (2) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of shares of common stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if StrikeCo, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of common stock on account of such common stock (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of shares of common stock in connection with a proposed initial business combination, or (d) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of common stock in respect of such event.

241

If the number of outstanding shares of common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of the shares of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of common stock.

Whenever the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of StrikeCo with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which StrikeCo is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of StrikeCo’s outstanding shares of common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of StrikeCo as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which StrikeCo is dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of common stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of shares of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants.

The warrants are issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Sentinel. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.

The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to StrikeCo, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

242

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, StrikeCo will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Private Placement Warrants

The private placement warrants (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the business combination, subject to certain exceptions, and they will not be redeemable by StrikeCo so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Our Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described below, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by StrikeCo and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants.

If holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of Sentinel’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan Sentinel funds as may be required.

Subject to certain limited exceptions, our Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private placement warrants (including the shares of Sentinel Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of any of these warrants) until the date that is 30 days after the date we complete our initial business combination. Under the Voting and Support Agreement, the right to convert such loans into warrants was waived by the initial stockholders and Mr. Leykum.

Dividends

The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon StrikeCo’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of the business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to the business combination will be within the discretion of StrikeCo’s board of directors at such time. Further, if StrikeCo incurs any indebtedness, its ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants StrikeCo may agree to in connection therewith.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

243

of any equity security) of StrikeCo held by a party to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement or their affiliates as of the date of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement; and (6) other equity securities issued or issuable with respect to any Registrable Security by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (including upon exercise of the private placement warrants) (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) held by each of the parties thereto.

The Registrable Securities will consist of an aggregate of approximately 39,109,093 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock and 5,933,333 private placement warrants. In addition, as described under“CSL Subscription Agreement” and “Fidelity Subscription Agreement” below, StrikeCo will also be required to register 13,200,000 shares of StrikeCo Class A common stock issuable pursuant to the Subscription Agreements.

StrikeCo will be required to bear all expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements and any such offerings, other than underwriting discounts and commission on the sale of Registrable Securities and the fees and expenses of counsel to holders of Registrable Securities. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement also will include customary provisions regarding indemnification and contribution.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter and Bylaws

Sentinel is currently subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which we refer to as “Section 203,” regulating corporate takeovers.

Section 203 prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:

•

A stockholder who owns fifteen percent or more of StrikeCo’s outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);

•

an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

•

an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than ten percent of StrikeCo’s assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

•

StrikeCo’s board of directors approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction;

•

after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of StrikeCo’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or

•

on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by StrikeCo’s board of directors and authorized at a meeting of StrikeCo’s stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

244

StrikeCo’s Proposed Charter, bylaws and the DGCL contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by StrikeCo’s board of directors. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the members of StrikeCo’s board of directors or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. For instance, StrikeCo’s board of directors will be empowered to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death, or removal of a director in certain circumstances; and StrikeCo’s advance notice provisions in its bylaws will require that stockholders must comply with certain procedures in order to nominate candidates to StrikeCo’s board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting.

StrikeCo’s authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of StrikeCo by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted common stock or warrants of StrikeCo for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities, provided that (1) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (2) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted common stock or warrants of StrikeCo for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

•

1% of the total number of shares of StrikeCo common stock then outstanding (as of the date of this proxy statement, there were 43,125,000 shares of Sentinel common stock outstanding); or

•

the average weekly reported trading volume of StrikeCo Class A common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

•

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

•

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

•

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

•

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

245

As a result, our initial stockholders will be able to sell their founder shares and private placement warrants, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration one year after we have completed our initial business combination.

We anticipate that following the consummation of the business combination, we will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

246

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Neither Sentinel stockholders nor Sentinel warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the business combination under the DGCL.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of this proxy statement to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if we believe the stockholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. However, if stockholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the stockholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another stockholder and together both of the stockholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the stockholders should follow these instructions:

•

If the shares are registered in the name of the stockholder, the stockholder should contact us at our offices at Sentinel Energy Services Inc., 700 Louisiana Street, Suite 2700, Houston, Texas 77002 or by telephone at (281) 407-0686, to inform us of his or her request; or

•

If a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the stockholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The transfer agent for our securities is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Sentinel’s board of directors is aware of no other matter that may be brought before the special meeting. Under Delaware law, only business that is specified in the notice of special meeting to stockholders may be transacted at the special meeting.

FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the stockholders at StrikeCo’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, assuming consummation of the business combination, it must be submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and StrikeCo’s bylaws. Since the 2019 annual meeting would be StrikeCo’s first annual meeting of stockholders, such proposals must be received by StrikeCo at its offices at 1800 Hughes Landing Blvd., Suite 500, The Woodlands, TX 77380, Attention: Secretary, a reasonable time before StrikeCo begins to print and mail its 2019 annual meeting proxy materials in order to be considered for inclusion in StrikeCo’s proxy materials for the 2019 annual meeting.

In addition, StrikeCo’s bylaws provide notice procedures for stockholders to nominate a person as a director and to propose business to be considered by stockholders at a meeting. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to StrikeCo at its offices at 1800 Hughes Landing Blvd., Suite 500, The Woodlands, TX 77380, Attention: Secretary, not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 120^th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders;

247

provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, which we anticipate will be the case for the 2019 annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received no earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was first made by StrikeCo. Nominations and proposals also must satisfy other requirements set forth in the StrikeCo bylaws. The chairman of our board of directors may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any stockholder proposal not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

Strike is controlled by an investment fund managed by OEP Capital Advisors L.P. (“One Equity Partners” or “OEP”). Prior to this filing, the historical consolidated financial statements of Strike were not audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and, therefore, were not subject to the independence rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and PCAOB. The historical consolidated financial statements of Strike, the target for purposes of the business combination, were previously audited in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and subject to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) independence rules.

In 2015, an Ernst & Young Global (“EYG”) member firm in Italy (“EYFBA”), an unrelated entity based in Italy (“Italian Company”) and an unaffiliated third party (the “Third party”) (together, “the Service Providers”) executed a joint agreement to provide IT security services to a local Italian regional government agency (the “Government Customer”). The public tender issued by the Government Customer required distinct services that are generally not provided by a single service provider. As such, the Service Providers entered into the joint agreement to respond collectively to the public tender, which they were awarded. The joint agreement sets forth, among other things, specific scopes of work to be provided by each party, with responsibility specifically attributed to each party based on their respective elements of scope. In the event of non-performance by a Service Provider, the Service Providers are jointly and severally liable to the Government Customer. Under the joint agreement, EYFBA and the Italian Company remain independent and autonomous in the performance of their distinct obligations. The Service Providers are individually responsible for their own work that is performed, issue their own invoices and receives payments directly from the Government Customer; there is no sharing of resources, finances, profits or activities among the Service Providers.

In July 2017, a fund controlled by OEP acquired a controlling interest in the Italian Company resulting in the Italian Company becoming an affiliate of Strike under the SEC and PCAOB independence rules by virtue of Strike and the Italian Company being under the common control of OEP.

The joint agreement to which EYFBA and the Italian Company are parties represents a business relationship between EY and Strike that is inconsistent with the SEC and PCAOB auditor independence rules. This business relationship is not prohibited by the AICPA independence standards applicable to EY’s prior audits of Strike’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. The services under this joint agreement between EYFBA and the Italian Company are expected to conclude in early to mid-2019. The completion of activities is subject to formal approval by the Government Customer, which is expected to be obtained by mid-2019; however, the Government Customer controls the ultimate timing of their approval. The release of EYFBA from its obligations under the joint agreement will not occur until approval has been obtained from the Government Customer and therefore, the business relationship will not terminate until that time. The Italian Company has no relationship or business activity with Strike outside of the common control by OEP. The fees from this business relationship are not material to EYFBA or the Italian Company. None of the professionals who provided or were involved with the business relationship were or are a member of the EY audit engagement team with respect to the audits of Strike’s consolidated financial statements or are otherwise a covered person as defined by the SEC independence rules. EYFBA’s services and the services of any other Service Provider have no impact on the operations or consolidated financial statements of Strike.

Beginning in December 2017, the European arm of OEP (“OEP-Europe”) and the EYG member firm in France (“EY France”) performed legal services related to due diligence around employment and labor law, as well as other corporate legal matters. These services were completed in January 2018 and July 2018, respectively. OEP-Europe is an affiliate of Strike under the SEC independence rules by virtue of being under common control. These legal services are inconsistent with the auditor independence rules of the SEC and the PCAOB relative to EY’s audits of the consolidated financial statements of Strike under PCAOB standards. These services were not prohibited by the AICPA independence standards applicable to EY’s prior audits of the consolidated financial statements of Strike. None of the professionals who provided the services was or are a member of the EY audit engagement team or otherwise a covered person with respect to the audits of Strike’s consolidated financial statements. The services were not related to, and did not affect, the operations or consolidated financial statements of Strike or EY’s audits. Total fees for the legal services were not material to EY France or OEP-Europe.

Beginning in January 2018, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EY (“EYCA”) provided an OEP portfolio company (“OEP-PC”) with buy-side investment banking services pursuant to a contingent fee arrangement. OEP-PC is an affiliate of Strike under the SEC independence rules by virtue of being under common control. The service and fee arrangement are inconsistent with the SEC and PCAOB independence rules. These services and fee arrangement were not prohibited by the AICPA independence standards applicable to EY’s prior audits of the consolidated financial statements of Strike. No fees were collected by EYCA under the contingent fee arrangement and the service was terminated in June 2018. None of the professionals who provided or were involved with this engagement was or are a member of the EY audit engagement team or otherwise a covered person with respect to the audits of Strike’s consolidated financial statements. The operations and related financial results of OEP-PC are unrelated to Strike’s operations or its consolidated financial statements.

After careful consideration of the facts and circumstances and the applicable independence rules, EY has concluded that (i) the aforementioned matters do not and will not impair EY’s ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment in connection with its audits of Strike’s consolidated financial statements and (ii) a reasonable investor with knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances would conclude that EY has been and is capable of exercising objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within its audit engagements. After considering these matters, Strike’s management and the Strike Audit Committee concur with EY’s conclusions.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Description of Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Sentinel Energy Services Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 5, 2017. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act,” as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

At September 30, 2018, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity through September 30, 2018 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) described below and since the closing of the Public Offering, a search for a business combination candidate. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company generatesnon-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year end.

The Company intends to finance its initial business combination with proceeds from the Public Offering (Note 3) and sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 3), the Company’s capital stock, debt or a combination of the foregoing. Upon the closings of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, approximately $345,000,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) (discussed below).

The registration statement for the Company’s Public Offering (Note 3) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 2, 2017.

Trust Account

The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred eighty (180) days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial business combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

The Company’s amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay income taxes, if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any Class A ordinary shares included in the Units (as defined in Note 3) sold in the Public Offering (the “Public Shares”) that have been properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of such Class A ordinary shares if it does not complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering; and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the Public Offering if the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, (subject to the requirements of law). The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.

F-6

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial business combination. The initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial business combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an initial business combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an initial business combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of an initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against an initial business combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, including interest but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, including interest but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of an initial business combination or will allow shareholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under Nasdaq rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will complete its initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, voted are voted in favor of an initial business combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related initial business combination, and instead may search for an alternate initial business combination.

If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an initial business combination, a public shareholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such Class A ordinary shares are recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, if the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at aper-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands’ law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor (as defined in Note 3) and the Company’s officers and

F-7

directors will enter into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they will agree to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) held by them if the Company fails to complete an initial business combination within 24 months of the closing of the Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquires Class A ordinary shares in or after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete an initial business combination within the prescribed time period.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an initial business combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of ordinary shares, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of an initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein.

Liquidation and Going Concern:

The Company only has 24 months from the closing date of the Public Offering (until November 7, 2019) to complete an Initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing date of the Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at aper-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands’ law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months of the closing of the Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquire shares of Class A ordinary shares in or after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

In the event of liquidation, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Public Offering.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of September 30, 2018 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 27, 2018.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply tonon-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

F-9

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets.

Redeemable Ordinary Shares

As discussed in Note 1, all of the 34,500,000 Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such shares under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 480. Although the Company has not specified a maximum redemption threshold, its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A ordinary shares shall be affected by charges against additional paid in capital.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 33,166,476 and 32,898,039, respectively, of 34,500,000 Class A ordinary shares were classified outside of permanent equity.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income applicable to ordinary shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the initial public offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,433,333 Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the Treasury Stock method. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share for the period as presented.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of net income (loss) per share for ordinary shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to thetwo-class method. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, less applicable income tax expense, by the weighted average number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class B ordinary shares is calculated by dividing net income, less income attributable to Class A ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding for the periods.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

F-10

FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must bemore-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

Related Parties

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) subtopic Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)850-10 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to ASC850-10-20, the Company’s related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified person, any other person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection ofSection 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure. Any material events that occur between the balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements were issued are disclosed as subsequent events, while the financial statements are adjusted to reflect any conditions that existed at the balance sheet date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC ReleaseNo. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of shareholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of shareholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. The Company anticipates its first presentation of changes in shareholders’ equity, in accordance with the new guidance, will be included in its Form10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

3. Public Offering

In November 2017, the Company closed its Public Offering of 34,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), with gross proceeds of $345,000,000 from the sale of Units. The closings occurred on November 7, 2017 with respect to 30,000,000 Units and on November 9, 2017 with respect to 4,500,000 Units related to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option.

Each Unit consists of one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value, andone-third of one warrant (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. No fractional shares will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sent the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

Simultaneous with the closing of the Public Offering on November 7, 2017, Sentinel Management Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”) purchased an aggregate of 5,333,333 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per whole warrant (approximately $8,000,000 in the aggregate) in a private placement (the “Private Placement Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the overallotment, the Company consummated the private placement of an additional 600,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $900,000.

The Company paid an underwriting discount of 2.0% of the per Unit offering price to the underwriters at the closing of the Public Offering, with an additional fee (the “Deferred Discount”) of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds payable upon the Company’s completion of an initial business combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its initial business combination.

4. Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In June 2017, the Sponsor entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, for the purchase of 14,375,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for $25,000, or $0.002 per share. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, “Founder Shares” shall be deemed to include the shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof. The Sponsor is a portfolio company of CSL Capital Management, L.P., an energy services-focused private equity fund.

The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the Public Offering except that the Founder Shares are shares of Class B ordinary shares which automatically convert into shares of Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Company’s initial business combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below.

In August 2017, the Sponsor surrendered 5,750,000 of its Class B ordinary shares for no consideration, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares. This forfeiture also adjusted

F-12

the shares subject to forfeiture from 1,875,000 to 1,125,000, to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Public Offering. As described above, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option in connection with the Public Offering in full, and therefore none of the Founder Shares were forfeited.

The Company’s initial shareholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of an initial business combination or (B) subsequent to an initial business combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after an initial business combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors will agree, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination.

In October 2017 and April 2018, the Sponsor transferred 37,500 founder shares to Marc Zenner and Jon A. Marshall, respectively, both of whom are independent directors of the Company, at the original purchase price.

Private Placement Warrants

Upon the closing of the Public Offering on November 7, 2017 and November 9, 2017, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per whole warrant (approximately $8,900,000 in the aggregate) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering. Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of the Company’s Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Public Offering held in the Trust Account. The remaining portion of the purchase price was held outside the Trust Account for transaction and working capital expenses. If an initial business combination is not completed within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will benon-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A ordinary shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed on or before the date of the prospectus for the Public Offering. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights.

However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicablelock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Advances from Related Parties

The Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor paid certain administrative expenses on behalf of the Company. These advances were due on demand and werenon-interest bearing. During the three and nine months ended

F-13

September 30, 2018, these related parties paid certain administrative expenses on behalf of the Company in the amount of $4,793 and $94,168, respectively. The outstanding balance on the advances was repaid in full as of September 30, 2018.

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the date the Units were first listed on the Nasdaq, the Company agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company paid $3,642 and $16,005 for such expenses under the administrative service agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

5. Shareholders’ Equity

Ordinary Shares

The authorized ordinary shares of the Company include up to 200,000,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares and 20,000,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares. If the Company enters into an initial business combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an initial business combination) be required to increase the number of Class A ordinary shares which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s shareholders vote on an initial business combination to the extent the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with an initial business combination. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each ordinary share.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were 34,500,000 shares of Class A, of which 33,166,476 and 32,898,039, respectively were classified outside of permanent equity, and 8,625,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Preferred Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred shares with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable, such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2017

1. Description of Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Sentinel Energy Services Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 5, 2017. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “initial business combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act,” as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

At December 31, 2017, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 5, 2017 (date of inception) through December 31, 2017 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“initial public offering”) described below and since our initial public offering a search for a business combination. On November 7, 2017, the Company closed its initial public offering of 30,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Unit (See Note 3). On November 7, 2017, simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, the Company completed the private sale of 5,333,333 private placement warrants (the “private placement warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant to the Company’s sponsor, Sentinel Management Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “sponsor”). On November 9, 2017, the underwriters of the initial public offering exercised their overallotment option in connection with the initial public offering in full and, on November 9, 2017, the underwriters purchased 4,500,000 Units (“overallotment units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $45,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the overallotment, the Company consummated the private placement of an additional 600,000 private placement warrants to the sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $900,000.

The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generatenon-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the net proceeds from the initial public offering. The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year end.

The Company intends to finance its initial business combination with proceeds from the initial public offering (Note 3) and the private placements of the private placement warrants (Note 4), the Company’s capital stock, debt or a combination of the foregoing. Upon the closings of the initial public offering, the sale of the overallotment units and the private placement warrants, approximately $345,000,000 was placed in a trust account (the “trust account”) (discussed below).

Trust Account

The proceeds held in the trust account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred eighty (180) days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Funds will remain in the trust account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the initial business combination or (ii) the distribution of the trust account proceeds as described below.

DECEMBER 31, 2017

The Company’s amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay income taxes, if any, none of the funds held in the trust account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any Class A ordinary shares included in the Units (the “public shares”) sold in the initial public offering that have been properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of such Class A ordinary shares if it does not complete the initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering; and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the initial public offering if the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering, (subject to the requirements of law). The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the initial public offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the initial public offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial business combination. The initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the trust account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial business combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an initial business combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an initial business combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the initial business combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their public shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the initial business combination or will allow shareholders to sell their public shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under NASDAQ rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will complete its initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, voted are voted in favor of the initial business combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related initial business combination, and instead may search for an alternate initial business combination.

Class A ordinary shares are recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the initial public offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, if the Company is unable to complete the initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at aper-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands’ law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors will enter into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they will agree to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within 24 months of the closing of the initial public offering. However, if the sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquires Class A ordinary shares in or after the initial public offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the prescribed time period.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an initial business combination, the Company’s shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of ordinary shares, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. The Company’s shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that the Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, upon the completion of the initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements

F-24

SENTINEL ENERGY SERVICES INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED

DECEMBER 31, 2017

that apply tonon-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs of $19,858,221, consisting principally of underwriting discounts and commissions of $18,975,000 (including approximately $12,075,000 of which payment is deferred) and $883,221 of professional, printing, filing, regulatory and other costs were charged to additionalpaid-in capital upon the closing of the initial public offering in November 2017.

Redeemable Ordinary Shares

As discussed in Note 1, all of the 34,500,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as parts of the Units in the initial public offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such shares under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with FASB ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC 480. Although the Company has not specified a maximum redemption threshold, its amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

F-25

SENTINEL ENERGY SERVICES INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED

DECEMBER 31, 2017

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A ordinary shares shall be affected by charges against additional paid in capital.

Accordingly, at December 31, 2017, 32,898,039 of 34,500,000 Class A ordinary shares included in the Units were classified outside of permanent equity.

Net Loss Per Ordinary Share

Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to ordinary shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the initial public offering (including the consummation of the Over-allotment) and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,433,333 Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per ordinary share for the period.

The Company’s statement of operations include a presentation of net loss per share for ordinary shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to thetwo-class method. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the trust account, net of any applicable income tax expense, by the weighted average number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding for the period from the issuance of such shares through December 31, 2017. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class B ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net loss, less income attributable to Class A ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding for the period.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must bemore-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2017. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

Subsequent Events

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.

3. Initial Public Offering

In November 2017, the Company closed its initial public offering of 34,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, with gross proceeds of $345,000,000 from the sale of Units. The closings occurred on November 7, 2017 with respect to 30,000,000 Units and on November 9, 2017 with respect to 4,500,000 Units related to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option.

Each Unit consists of one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value, andone-third of one warrant (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. No fractional shares will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or 12 months from the closing of the initial public offering and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sent the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

Simultaneous with the closing of the initial public offering on November 7, 2017, the sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,333,333 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per whole warrant (approximately $8,000,000 in the aggregate) in a private placement. Simultaneously with the closing of the overallotment, the Company consummated the private placement of an additional 600,000 private placement warrants to the sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $900,000.

The Company paid an underwriting discount of 2.0% of the per Unit offering price to the underwriters at the closing of the initial public offering, with an additional fee (the “Deferred Discount”) of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds payable upon the Company’s completion of an initial business combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event the Company completes its initial business combination.

4. Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In June 2017, the sponsor entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, for the purchase of 14,375,000 founder shares for $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, “founder shares” shall be deemed to include the shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof.

The founder shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the initial public offering except that the founder shares are shares of Class B ordinary shares which automatically convert into shares of Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Company’s initial business combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below.

In August 2017, the sponsor surrendered 5,750,000 of its Class B ordinary shares for no consideration, resulting in the sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares. This forfeiture also adjusted the shares subject to forfeiture from 1,875,000 to 1,125,000, to the extent that the over-allotment option was is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the founder shares will represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the initial public offering. As described above, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option in connection with the initial public offering in full, and therefore none of the founder shares were forfeited.

The Company’s initial shareholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial business combination or (B) subsequent to the initial business combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

The sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors will agree, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their private placement warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination.

The sponsor transferred 37,500 founder shares to Marc Zenner in October 2017 and, in January 2018, to Jon Marshall, its independent directors, at the original purchase price.

Private Placement Warrants

Upon the closing of the initial public offering on November 7, 2017 and November 9, 2017, the sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,933,333 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per whole warrant (approximately $8,900,000 in the aggregate) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering. Each whole private placement warrant is exercisable for one whole share of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the private placement warrants was added to the proceeds from the initial public offering held in the trust account. If the initial business combination is not completed within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the private placement

warrants will expire worthless. The private placement warrants will benon-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Registration Rights

The holders of founder shares, private placement warrants and Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the founder shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A ordinary shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed on or before the date of the prospectus for the initial public offering. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights.

Related Party Loans

On June 12, 2017, the sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $200,000 to cover expenses related to the initial public offering pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”). This loan wasnon-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2017 or the completion of the initial public offering. During the period June 5, 2017 (date of inception) through December 31, 2017, the Company utilized advances from the Note to pay expenses and offering costs incurred totaling $115,236. Upon closing of the Offering, the Company paid $115,236 in full settlement of the Note.

Advances from Related Party

During the period June 5, 2017 (date of inception) through December 31, 2017, a related party paid expenses and offering costs incurred on behalf of the Company totaling $133,619. As of December 31, 2017, the amount due to the related party was repaid in full.

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the date the Units were first listed on the NASDAQ, the Company agreed to pay an affiliate of the sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company recorded $12,163 for such expenses under the administrative service agreement for the period June 5, 2017 (date of inception) to December 31, 2017.

Option Agreement

On November 2, 2017, the Company entered into an option agreement (“Option Agreement”) pursuant to which CSL Energy Opportunities Fund III, L.P. and CSL Energy Holdings III, Corp, LLC (“Option Holders”) agreed to purchase an aggregate of up to 10,000,000 units (the“Co-Investment Units”), consisting of one Class A Share (the“Co-Investment Shares”) andone-third of one warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share (the“Co-Investment Warrants,” and together with theCo-Investment Shares, the“Co-Investment Securities”), for $10.00 per unit (the “Exercise Price”), or an aggregate maximum amount of $100,000,000, immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination.

F-29

SENTINEL ENERGY SERVICES INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED

DECEMBER 31, 2017

TheCo-Investment Warrants will have the same terms as the private placement warrants so long as they are held by the Option Holders or its permitted transferees, and theCo-Investment Shares will be identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the units being sold in this offering, except that theCo-Investment Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights, as described herein.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Description of Company

Strike Capital, LLC (“Strike”, or the “Company”) is a Texas limited liability company whose only asset is the 100% member units of Strike, LLC. In August 2013, Strike, LLC became a portfolio company of One Equity Partners (“OEP”), a middle market private equity firm focused on the industrial, healthcare and technology sectors in North America and Europe. In November 2016, Strike, LLC created a holding company, Strike Capital, LLC, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the holding company. There are no restrictions of cash flows between Strike Capital, LLC and Strike, LLC.

Strike is a nationwide provider ofend-to-end pipeline, facilities, energy and civil infrastructure solutions. Strike offers a full complement of integrated engineering, construction, maintenance, integrity, and specialty services to its diversified, long-standing client base, which includes some of the largest midstream and upstream companies in North America. Strike operates through two business segments: (1) Infrastructure and Integrity Services (“IIS”) and (2) Major Projects. Strike’s IIS segment providesend-to-end support from initial construction to ongoing integrity, maintenance, engineering, design, program management and operations. Strike’s Major Projects segment provides construction services for large-scale pipeline and facility construction projects across the United States. With more than 30 locations across key U.S. energy markets, Strike is able to leverage local crews to deliver the regional terrain expertise, quick mobilization, and specialized service required for any project. Strike provides its clients with a single point of contact for the full scope of their infrastructure needs across the nation and throughout an asset’s life cycle, from initial project engineering to ongoing support.

In May 2008, Strike, LLC acquired Pickett Measurement Systems, Inc. (“Pickett”), a measurement and fabrication services company specializing in skid-mounted measurement equipment. In June 2014, Strike acquired Delta Directional Drilling, LLC (“Delta”), a horizontal directional drilling contractor with rigs strategically located across the country. In June 2015, Strike LLC acquired substantially all of the net assets of Circle K of Arkansas, Inc., an oil and gas construction company. In December 2016, Strike acquired Crossfire, LLC (“Crossfire”), a pipeline and facilities construction company offering a full suite of construction and infrastructure services operating in the Western region of the United States. The Crossfire acquisition cemented Strike as one of the largest service providers in the Permian Basin and bolstered its presence in the Rockies and Bakken regions. In January 2018, Strike acquired substantially all of the assets of Capstone Energy Services, LLC (“Capstone”), a pipeline and facility construction service company within the Northeastern region of the United States. The Capstone acquisition solidified Strike’s presence in the Utica and Marcellus shale plays.

The Company operates through multiple service and fabrication facilities principally located in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Colorado and Louisiana, and has approximately 6,400 employees, with its corporate headquarters located in The Woodlands, Texas.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Common Control Transaction. As noted above, Strike, LLC created a holding company, Strike Capital, LLC, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the holding company in November 2016. This transaction was among entities under common control and did not result in a change in control. Therefore, it did not meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the net assets have been recorded at historical cost basis. The historical operations of Strike, LLC are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Strike, LLC prior to the common control transaction and (ii) the combined results of Strike, LLC and Strike following the common control transaction.

Reporting Period. The audited period ended December 31, 2015 consists of the financial position as of December 31, 2015 and results of operations, cash flows and changes in members’ equity from January 10, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Segments. The Company reports its results under two reportable segments: Major Projects and Infrastructure Integrity Services. See Note 19 for additional information regarding the Company’s segments.

Basis of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include Strike and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The Company’s investments in other entities for which the Company does not have a controlling interest, but for which it has the ability to exert significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are recorded as other long-term assets. Income or loss from these investments is recorded as a separate line item in the statements of operations. Intercompany profits or losses associated with the Company’s equity method investments are eliminated until realized by the investee in transactions with third parties.

Restatement of previously reported financial statements.The Company has restated its Statements of operations and its segment disclosures included in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and period ended December 31, 2015 to correct errors in the compilation of the Company’s previously reported segment results as well as the classification of equity-based compensation within Cost of revenues.

Use of Estimates. The presentation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include but are not limited to estimated cost to complete construction-type contracts using thepercentage-of-completion method, net realizable value of inventory, estimated lives of depreciable assets, estimates related to fair value of reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, estimates related to deferred tax assets and liabilities including any related valuation allowances, and allocation of purchase price in business combinations. While management believes that such estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Limitation of Members’ Liability. Under the terms of the limited liability agreement, as amended, the members are not obligated for debt, obligations, or other liabilities of the Company. Profits and losses are allocated to members based on their ownership interests.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition.Revenue is derived from construction projects performed under master and other service agreements as well as from contracts for specific projects or jobs requiring the construction and installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an entire infrastructure system. Revenue derived from projects performed under master service agreements and other longer term contracts approximates 44.5%, 56.1%, and 66.8% of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and period ended December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Company frequently provides services under time and materials agreements, unit price agreements, cost-plus agreements, andlump-sum agreements. Revenue and related costs for master and other service agreements billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue from fixed price contracts provides for a fixed amount of revenue for the entire project, subject to certain additions for changed scope or

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

specifications. Under unit-based contracts, Strike is compensated based on pricing established with the customer for each delivered unit. The Company also performs services under master service agreements on a cost-plus basis, under which Strike is compensated for all of its allowed expenses plus an agreed percentage of profit. Revenue from these contracts is generally recognized using thepercentage-of-completion method, under which the percentage of revenue to be recognized for a given project is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date on the contract to the total estimated costs for the contract. Such contracts provide that the customer accept completion of progress to date and compensate the Company for services rendered. Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontracted costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and the operational costs of capital equipment.

The estimation process for revenue recognized under thepercentage-of-completion method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Management reviews estimates of contract revenue and costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected contract settlements are factors that influence estimates of total contract value and total costs to complete those contracts and, therefore, the Company’s profit recognition. Changes in these factors may result in revisions to costs and income, and their effects are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations in the period in which such changes are recognized. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The majority of fixed price contracts are completed within one year.

Change Orders and Customer Claims.The Company may incur costs subject to change orders, whether approved or unapproved by the customer, and/or claims related to its in-process contracts. Change orders are modifications of an original contract, which effectively change deliverables under a contract. Either the Company or its customers and suppliers may initiate change orders. Change orders may include, among other things, changes in specifications or design, manner of performance, equipment, materials, scope of work, and/or the period of completion of the project. Change orders occur when changes are experienced after the original contract has been executed. Management determines the probability that such costs will be recovered based upon engineering studies and legal opinions, past practices with the customer, specific discussions, correspondence or preliminary negotiations with the customer. The Company treats such costs as a cost of contract performance in the period incurred if it is not probable that the costs will be recovered or recognizes revenue up to the amount of the related cost if it is probable that the contract price will be adjusted and can be reliably estimated. Change orders are included in the total estimated contract revenue when it is probable that the change order will result in additional value that can be reliably estimated and realized.

Subcontractor Claims.The Company from time to time receives claims for amounts in excess of the agreed contract price that subcontractors may seek to collect from the Company for alleged Company-caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, unapproved change orders, or other causes of unanticipated costs. The Company periodically evaluates outstanding claims against the Company and estimates the monetary exposure of those claims based on contract provisions, prior experience with the subcontractor, and other known and available information and data. The Company provides for any material known claims believed to be measurable and probable of settlement with a claimant in their cost estimates. Actual settlement of claims may be significantly different from the Company’s estimate, which may result in additional direct contract costs or reduction to direct contract costs recognized in the period when settlement occurs.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no claims outstanding and no claims included in estimated costs. The Company actively engages in substantive meetings with its customers to complete the final approval process, and generally expects these processes to be completed within one year.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The asset, “Costs incurred and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”, represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies. Accounts receivable include third party obligations primarily under contracts described in the aforementioned “Revenue Recognition” policy due under terms specified in the contract, and generally subject to lien rights on the underlying construction projects. Typically, contract terms require payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Certain contracts provide for retainage provision which are generally due upon completion of the contracts and acceptance by the customer. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had retainage receivables of approximately $59.4 million and $22.3 million, respectively, included in accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for anticipated losses of its business units when a business unit has historical experience of losses in the ordinary course of business. In addition, an allowance is established when it is probable that a specific receivable is not collectible and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Amounts are written off against the allowance when they are considered to be uncollectible.

Management actively monitors the economic environment and its impact on the Company’s customers and their creditworthiness in connection with its evaluation of the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio and the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s billings are pursuant to contract provisions and contracts are with established companies; however, accounts receivable may be exposed to potential credit risk if the customers should encounter financial difficulties. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $0.8 million as of December 31, 2017. No allowance was recorded as of December 31, 2016.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents, which are carried at fair value. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.

Inventories.Inventories, including materials consumed in the construction process, are stated at the lower of cost or market value. On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the new inventory standard, Accounting Standards Update2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU2015-11”). Under this ASU, inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Prior to adoption of this ASU, inventories were stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by using either thefirst-in,first-out or the weighted-average methods. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Inventories consist primarily of parts and supplies held for use in the ordinary course of business, which are valued by the Company at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Technological or market changes can render certain materials obsolete. Allowances for inventory obsolescence are determined based upon specific facts and circumstances and market conditions. Management determined no allowance for slow-moving and obsolete items was necessary as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost, or, if acquired in a business combination, at the acquisition date fair value. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Property and equipment under capital leases are depreciated

F-41

STRIKE CAPITAL, LLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

over their estimated useful lives. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or losses are recognized in operations in the year of disposal. The cost of routine repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; and significant renewals and improvements are capitalized. Identifiable intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life or term of related agreements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.The Company periodically evaluates the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned to long-lived assets. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected undiscounted futurepre-tax cash flows of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Fair values take into consideration management’s estimates of risk-adjusted discount rates, which are believed to be consistent with assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. The Company concluded there were no indicators evident or other circumstances present that these assets were not recoverable and accordingly, no impairment losses have been recognized for the periods presented.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets.The Company has goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets that have been recorded in connection with its acquisitions of businesses. Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition consideration paid over the fair value of identifiable net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually. The Company performs its annual impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each year, and on a quarterly basis, management monitors these assets for potential impairment triggers. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company tests goodwill at the reporting unit level which is the level for which there are distinct cash flows, products, capabilities and available financial information. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of the fair value of its reporting units before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit in step one of thetwo-step goodwill impairment model. If, through the qualitative assessment, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is greater than its carrying value, the remaining impairment steps would be unnecessary.

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an update intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step in thetwo-step goodwill impairment test. The update requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and to recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The income tax effect associated with an impairment of tax deductible goodwill is also considered in the measurement of the goodwill impairment. The Company elected to adopt the provisions of the update in connection with its annual impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Management has determined there are six reporting units for goodwill impairment analysis purposes. For each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the period ended December 31, 2015, management performed an annual impairment test of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by examining relevant events and circumstances that could have an effect on their fair values, such as: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, entity-specific events, financial performance and other relevant factors or events that could affect earnings and cash flows.

The Company’s analysis indicated that the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units was in excess of its carrying amount.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Deferred Loan Costs. Debt issuance costs, net of amortization, are recorded as a reduction from the debt’s carrying value on the balance sheet. For line of credit arrangements, debt issuance costs are stated net of amortization as an asset on the balance sheet. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the arrangements. Amortization of deferred loan costs of $3.5 million and $2.4 million were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Amortization of deferred loan costs of $1.6 were recorded for the period ended December 31, 2015. Deferred loan costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $1.8 million and $2.2 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash balances are maintained in financial institutions which at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions in which accounts are maintained and has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations as to the financial condition of its customers with respect to receivables. Generally, no collateral is required as a condition of sale. The Company’s consideration of allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon current market conditions and other factors.

Product Warranties. The Company provides a warranty for a period of time based on the terms of each contract. Historically, the Company has incurred little or no cost associated with these warranties during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, or the period ended December 31, 2015. The Company determined no accrual for warranty was necessary.

Fair Value Measurements. From time to time, the Company may record financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. These fair value measurements incorporate nonperformance risk (i.e., the risk that an obligation will not be fulfilled). In measuring fair value, the Company reflects the impact of credit risk on liabilities, as well as any collateral. The Company also considers the credit standing of counterparties in measuring the fair value of assets.

The Company uses any of three valuation techniques to measure fair value: the market approach, the income approach, and the cost approach in determining the appropriate valuation technique based on the nature of the asset or liability being measured and the reliability of the inputs used in arriving at fair value.

The inputs used in applying valuation techniques include assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (i.e., assumptions about risk). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. The Company uses observable inputs in their valuation techniques, and classifies those inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy establish by applicable accounting guidance, which prioritizes those inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

F-43

STRIKE CAPITAL, LLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, equity investments, accounts payable and other current liabilities, and debt obligations.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value guidance establishes a valuation hierarchy, which requires maximizing the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using public market prices, quotes from financial institutions and other available information. The fair value of the Company’s short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value represented in the balance sheets principally due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term equipment notes approximate carrying value based on their effective interest rates compared to current market rates. The carrying amounts of the revolving loan and term loan debt approximate fair value because those financial instruments bear interest at variable rates that approximate current market rates for loans with similar maturities and credit quality.

Derivative Instruments. Derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with classification as current or noncurrent based upon the maturity of the derivative instruments. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded in current earnings. Cash flows from derivative contracts are reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows in the same categories as the cash flows from the underlying transactions. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is the ability of third parties to meet their obligations under the terms of the contracts. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance by third parties. There are no derivatives currently outstanding as of December 31, 2017.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on aNon-Recurring Basis.Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on anon-recurring basis, for which remeasurement occurs in the event of an impairment or other measurement event, if applicable, may include items such as equity investments, long-lived assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets.

Valuation of Net Assets Acquired. The determination of the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination requires estimates and judgments of future cash flow expectations for the acquired business and the related identifiable tangible and intangible assets. Fair values are calculated using expected cash flows and industry-standard valuation techniques. For current assets and current liabilities, book value is generally assumed to equal fair value. Goodwill is the amount by which consideration paid exceeds the fair value of acquired net assets. Acquisition costs, including acquisition integration costs, are expensed as incurred and are included within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Due to the time required to gather and analyze the necessary data for each acquisition, U.S. GAAP provides a “measurement period” of up to one year in which to finalize these fair value determinations. During the measurement period, preliminary fair value estimates may be revised if new information is obtained about the facts and circumstances existing as of the date of acquisition based on the final net assets and net working capital of the acquired business, as prescribed in the applicable purchase agreements. Such adjustments may result in the

recognition of, or adjust the fair values of, acquisition-related assets and liabilities and/or consideration paid. For the year ended December 31, 2017, measurement period adjustments included certain adjustments to the preliminary estimates of intangible assets and acquisition-related contingent consideration, and resulted in approximately $1.0 million reduction in the final valuation of the equity issued and approximately $1.4 million allocated from goodwill to specifically identifiable intangible assets for businesses acquired in 2016. For the period ended December 31, 2015, measurement period adjustments included certain adjustments to the preliminary estimates of goodwill and specifically identifiable intangible assets, and resulted in approximately $3.3 million allocated from goodwill to specifically identifiable intangible assets. There were no such adjustments recorded in the year ended December 31, 2016. Fair value adjustments resulting from circumstances that developed after the date of acquisition are reflected as income or expense, as appropriate, in the period the adjustment is considered probable.

Investments in Affiliates. Investments in entities of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, but over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s share of net income or losses from unconsolidated equity investments is included in equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statements of operations when applicable. Equity investments are reviewed for impairment by assessing whether any decline in the fair value of the investment below the carrying value is other than temporary. In making this determination, factors such as the ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment and the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity are evaluated in determining whether a loss in value should be recognized. Any impairment losses related to investments would be recognized in other expense. Equity method investments are carried at original cost and are included in Investment in Affiliate in the consolidated balance sheet and are adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the investees’ income, losses and distributions.

Income Taxes. As a limited liability company, the Company is not subject to federal income taxes as components of its income and expenses flow through directly to the members. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been reflected in the financial statements. However, the Company is subject to state income taxes in various states in which it operates.

The liability method is used in accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. The realizability of deferred tax assets are evaluated annually and a valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not give rise to future benefits.

The Company follows guidance for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using atwo-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement.

In accordance with this guidance, the Company has elected to record income tax related interest and penalties, if any, as a component in the provision of income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and period ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred no material income tax related interest or penalties. The Company completed its analysis of its tax positions and believes there are no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company believes that there are no tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would significantly increase or decrease

unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. The Company is subject to federal tax examinations for 2014 and later years. The Company is also subject to state tax examinations for the fiscal years 2013 and later. There are no income tax examinations currently in process.

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). The provisions of the 2017 Tax Act will require significant judgments and estimates to be made, and management’s interpretations of these provisions could differ from those of the U.S. Treasury Department or the IRS, which has yet to promulgate all of the regulations implementing the 2017 Tax Act. Management completed its analysis of the TCJA and determined there was no material effect on the Company’s provision for income taxes.

Equity-Based Compensation. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had certain member units issued and outstanding related to an acquisition completed in 2014. As and when approved by the Board of Directors, the Company shall distribute to the holder of the units a preferred distribution, plus any unpaid return calculated at the remaining unpaid balance, multiplied by an applicable rate of 8% per annum. The units require the holder to remain employed by the Company for a period of five years from the date of acquisition; otherwise, the distribution will be reducedpro-rata based on the number of calendar quarters remaining in the five-year period. The preferred distribution is recorded as equity-based compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Refer to Note 13. Members’ Equity and Unit-Based compensation for additional information.

Earnings per Unit. Basic and diluted earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income attributable to members of Strike Capital by the weighted average number of Founder and Common units during the reporting period. Our basic and diluted EPU are computed using the two-class method, whereby earnings are allocated to the Founder and Common units that are participating securities based on their respective ownership. Per unit amounts are computed by dividing net income available to members by the weighted average units outstanding during each period.

Self-Insurance. The Company is insured for employer’s liability, workers’ compensation, auto liability and general liability claims. Under these programs, the deductible for workers’ compensation is $5,000 per occurrence. The Company has no deductibles for auto liability and general liability. The Company also has employee health care benefit plans for most employees, of which the primary plan is subject to a deductible of $1,000 per claimant per year. The Company is also required to post letters of credit and provide cash collateral to certain of its insurance carriers. Cash collateral deposited with insurance carriers is included in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s self-insurance liability is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets within current liabilities. The determination of such claims and expenses and the appropriateness of the related liability is reviewed and updated quarterly, however, these insurance liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to unknown factors, including the severity of an injury, the determination of the Company’s liability in proportion to other parties and the number of incidents not reported. Accruals are based upon known facts and historical trends. Although management believes its accruals are adequate, a change in experience or actuarial assumptions could materially affect the Company’s results of operations in a particular period.

Litigation and Contingencies. Accruals for litigation and contingencies are reflected in the consolidated financial statements based on management’s assessment, including advice from legal counsel, of the expected outcome of litigation or other dispute resolution proceedings and/or the expected resolution of contingencies. Liabilities for estimated losses are accrued if the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability

of loss and the determination as to whether the amount is reasonably estimable. Accruals are based only on information available at the time of the assessment due to the uncertain nature of such matters. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations in a given period.

Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU2014-09”). The core principle of this ASU is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use judgment and make estimates when evaluating contract terms and other relevant facts and circumstances. Additionally, ASU2014-09 requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of ASU2014-09 by one year. In 2016 and 2017, the FASB issued several accounting standards updates to clarify certain topics within ASU2014-09, and to update certain other topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) to conform with the new guidance in Topic 606.

The Company adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is also referred to as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“Topic 606”), under the modified retrospective transition approach effective January 1, 2018, with application to all existing contracts that were not substantially completed as of January 1, 2018. A cumulative effect adjustment of $1.5 million was made to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 based on the difference between the recognition criteria under Topic 606 and the Company’s previous revenue recognition practices under the previous revenue recognition guidance, ASC Topic605-35. Consistent with the modified retrospective transition approach, the 2017 prior period was not adjusted to conform to the new standard.

The Company’s assessment of the effects of Topic 606 on its consolidated financial statements, financial statement disclosures, business processes, systems and controls included a detailed review of representative contracts at each of the Company’s business units and a comparison of its historical accounting policies and practices to Topic 606 and related disclosures under the new standard. Based on the Company’s review of its revenue arrangements, the Company expects to recognize revenue and earnings over time utilizing thecost-to-cost measure of progress for its fixed price, unit price and cost-plus contracts as well as certain master service and other service agreements, consistent with current practice. For these contracts, thecost-to-cost measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control of goods or services to the customer under Topic 606. Contracts recognized over time are typically comprised of a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not distinct from other promises in the contract due to the significant integration services provided by the Company in connection with its contracts.

Contract modifications are routine in the performance of the Company’s contracts and are typically evidenced by a change order. In most instances, change orders relate to adjustments to prices and the scope of services provided, which are not distinct from the scope of services in the original contract. Therefore, change orders will typically be accounted for on a cumulativecatch-up basis under Topic 606, consistent with the Company’s current practice.

The Company’s future disclosures related to revenue recognition will include information about unsatisfied performance obligations and expectations of the timing of recognition for those obligations. Additionally, in the

F-47

STRIKE CAPITAL, LLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

future, the Company’s disclosures will reflect the amount of contract assets and contract liabilities, as calculated on aby-contract basis. The Company has implemented targeted changes to its internal reporting processes to facilitate gathering the data needed for the reporting and disclosure requirements.

Other Accounting Pronouncements to Be Adopted

In May 2017, FASB issued guidance which provided clarification as to when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Limited and administrative modifications that do not change the value, vesting conditions, or classification of the award are exempt from following the modification guidance in the related topic. This standard, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2018, is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The updated guidance eliminates Step 2 of the impairment test, which requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. Strike is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 using a prospective approach. Earlier adoption is permitted. Strike early adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018 and the implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance, which amends the existing accounting standards for the classification of certain cash flows and is intended to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018, on a retrospective basis. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance, which amends the existing accounting standards for leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. Strike is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. Earlier adoption is permitted. Strike is currently evaluating the timing and the impact of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance, which amends the existing accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The guidance primarily addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with other amendments related specifically to equity securities without readily determinable fair values applied prospectively. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Certain amendments, including the disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant observable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, should be applied prospectively, while other amendments should be applied retrospectively. The Company evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2020.

Also in August 2018, the FASB issued an update that aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtaininternal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include aninternal-use software license). Entities can choose to adopt the new guidance prospectively or retrospectively. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this update to materially impact its consolidated financial statements and will adopt the new standard by January 1, 2020.

In June 2018, the FASB issued guidance, which expands the guidance in Topic 718 to include share-based payments for goods and services tonon-employees and generally aligns it with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Earnings per Unit

The Company has not historically presented earnings per unit (“EPU”) as its member units did not trade on a public market. Accordingly, the Company was permitted under accounting guidance to omit such disclosure. However, based on the subsequent event as described in Note 20 below, the Company is presenting basic and diluted EPU for the periods included in the statement of operations.

Basic and diluted EPU are computed using the two-class method, whereby earnings (losses) are allocated to each participating class based on the respective ownership and their respective contractual rights. Per unit amounts are computed by dividing net income available to members by the weighted average units outstanding during each period. The unvested Phantom and Junior units are antidilutive and therefore, have not been included in diluted EPU.

In accordance with the Company’s existing Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, Founder units are entitled to receive a cumulative minimum annual distributions amount of $2 million.

All units issued in connection with the Delta acquisition (see further discussion Note 13) have been included in common units outstanding and have been allocated their respective share of unallocated earnings as participating units in accordance with the two- class method. Additionally, Delta units are entitled to a preferred distribution of $9 million which has been accounted for as equity-based compensation which is reflected in net income (loss). Refer to Note 13 for further discussion.

In connection with the Crossfire acquisition, the Company incurred $0.5 million of transaction expenses, which is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.

The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition has been recorded as anon-current asset and is not amortized, but is subject to review at least on an annual basis for impairment. Goodwill recognized was primarily attributable to expected operating efficiencies and expansion opportunities in the businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized from the acquisition is not expected to be tax deductible as it was treated as a stock acquisition for tax purposes.

Circle K Acquisition.On June 30, 2015, the Company acquired substantially all the net assets of Circle K of Arkansas Inc. (“Circle K”), which provides pipeline and facility construction and maintenance services to the oil, natural gas and utility industries. The acquisition was completed for a purchase price of approximately $12.1 million, net of cash received. Included in the purchase agreement is anearn-out feature for the seller that is based on continued employment by the seller and annual earnings targets by the acquired entity through the year ended December 31, 2017. Thisearn-out terminated in 2016 as the seller terminated his employment with the Company. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

In connection with the Circle K acquisition, the Company incurred $0.3 of transaction expenses, which was reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, unaudited pro forma revenue totaled approximately $901.2 million and unaudited pro forma net loss totaled approximately $27.5 million, respectively. For the period ended December 31, 2015, unaudited pro forma revenue totaled approximately $957.1 million and unaudited pro forma net loss totaled approximately $21.0 million.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial results have been prepared by adjusting the historical results of Strike to include the historical results of the acquired businesses described above, and then adjusted (i) to remove acquisition costs; (ii) to increase amortization expense resulting from the acquired intangible assets; (iii) to increase interest expense as a result of the cash consideration paid; (iv) to reduce interest expense from debt repaid upon acquisition; and (v) to eliminate the effects of intercompany transactions. These unaudited supplemental pro forma financial results do not include adjustments to reflect other cost savings or synergies that may have resulted from this acquisition. Future results may vary significantly due to future events and transactions, as well as other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.

Note 7. Equity Method Investment

On December 31, 2016, the Company contributed a business consisting of machinery and equipment, vehicles, certain contracts and cash to Capstone Energy Services, LLC (“Capstone”) in exchange for a 44% membership interest in Capstone. Capstone provides maintenance and construction activities for the oil and natural gas industry primarily in Pennsylvania and Ohio. As a result of the contribution, the Company’s ownership interest in the business decreased to 44% which resulted in thede-recognition of these assets as of December 31, 2016. There was no gain or loss recognized on this transaction.

The Company accounted for its investment in Capstone as an equity method investment. The basis difference between the amount at which the investment is carried and the amount of the underlying equity in net assets of Capstone, referred to as equity method goodwill was approximately $5.8 million and $5.3 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The fair value of the Company’s equity investment is not readily observable. Equity investments are reviewed for impairment by assessing whether there has been a decline in the fair value of the investment below the carrying value, and whether that decline is considered to be other than temporary. In making this determination, factors such as the ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment and the inability of the investee to sustain future earnings capacity are considered. The Company is not aware of events or changes in circumstances that would have a significant adverse effect on the carrying values of its equity method investments as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

In January 2018, the Company entered into an exchange and redemption agreement with the majority owner of the affiliate, whereby the Company exchanged its 44% ownership and paid approximately $4.2 million in consideration and received substantially all of the assets from the affiliate.

Interest on the term loan and the revolving loan was payable monthly at the federal funds rate, prime, or LIBOR, at the Company’s election, plus a margin. The unused borrowing capacity was subject to a commitment fee rate between 0.35% and 0.70%, based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. The credit agreement required the Company to comply with certain administrative and financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, leverage ratio, and a limit on capital expenditures.

The term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which was 9.50% (inclusive of the applicable margin) as of December 31, 2017, and is due quarterly. Principal payments of $3.1 million are due quarterly with all unpaid principal and interest due on November 30, 2022, the term loan maturity date. In addition to interest on any borrowings on the letter of credit facility, the Company is also assessed an unused line fee and a facility fee. The term loan and letter of credit facility agreement is secured by all assets of the Company. On December 30, 2016, the letter of credit facility was increased to $110 million, which was outstanding as of December 31, 2017 to support a project in process. The letter of credit commitment expired on August 31, 2018. Thereafter, all letters of credit are drawn from the ABL loan discussed below.

Note 13. Member’s Equity and Unit-Based Compensation

Member Units. In accordance with the Company’s limited liability agreement, as amended, the Company has 1,000,000 member units authorized, 663,889.4270 member units issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2017. Additionally, under the terms of the agreement, within 90 days following the year end, a minimum annual distribution of $2.0 million is to be paid to certain members of the Company pro rata based on the number of member units held by each. Following payment of the annual minimum distribution amount, all other distributions, including upon any dissolution, liquidation or termination of the Company, are to be paid out in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Delta Units. In connection with the acquisition of Delta Directional Drilling, LLC in 2014, the Company issued 4,108.0283 member units to the seller. As and when approved by its Board of Directors, the Company shall distribute to the holder of these units a preferred distribution of $9.0 million, plus any unpaid priority return calculated at the remaining unpaid balance multiplied by an applicable rate of 8% per annum. The Delta units also require the holder to remain employed by the Company for a period of five years from the date of the acquisition; otherwise the distribution will be reduced pro rata based on number of calendar quarters remaining in the five-year period. Since the $9.0 million payment is contingent on the holder remaining employed by the Company, the preferred distribution will be recorded as share-based compensation expense ratably over the five-year period. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and period ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of approximately $2.8 million, $2.5 million, and $2.1 million, respectively.

Phantom and Junior Units. Effective August 30, 2013, the Company adopted the Strike LLC Phantom Unit Plan. The combined aggregate number of Junior Units and Phantom Units available to be issued will not exceed 100,000. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, the Company has 46,900.95 and 39,952.98 Junior Units issued and outstanding, respectively. Of the Junior Units issued, 32,355 were immediately vested. The remaining Junior Units will vest 20% annually. The Phantom Units under this plan represent a hypothetical Junior Units and will vest only upon the consummation of the sale of the Company. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, 22,650 and 15,025 Phantom Units under this plan were issued and outstanding, respectively. Holders of Junior Units and Phantom Units do not have voting rights on any matters. No value has been reflected in the financial statements for these Phantom Units as the units will not vest until the occurrence of a sale of the Company. In connection with the transaction with Sentinel Energy Services Inc. discussed in Note 20, the Company anticipates recording compensation expense of $3.0 million associated with these Phantom Units.

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various disputes arising from the normal course of business. Management does not believe the outcome of these disputes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Capital Leases.The Company entered into agreements that provide lease financing for machinery and equipment in the current year. Leases meeting certain criteria are capitalized, with the related asset recorded in property and equipment and a corresponding amount recorded within the Company’s debt obligations. Capital lease additions are reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows within the supplemental disclosures ofnon-cash information.

Operating Leases.The Company entered into multiple office leases which include escalation features, where the rates increase over the terms of the leases. The amount of rent expensed is based on a straight-line calculation of the amount owed over the entire lease term. The difference between the straight-line amount and the contractual amount owed is classified as deferred rent and is amortized to rent expense over the lease term. In addition, two of the office leases contained an allowance for leasehold improvements. These amounts were capitalized as leasehold improvements, with the deferred rent being ratably allocated to rent expense over the lease terms. The Company entered into sublease agreements for certain office leases. These subleases extend through 2019. Sublease income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and period ended December 31, 2015 was

In March 2018, the Company exercised certain rental purchase options (“RPO”) under certain operating leases effectively converting them into capital leases. The capital lease obligations of approximately $25 million will be repaid over a forty-eight month period.

Concentrations of Risk.The Company is subject to certain risk factors, including, but not limited to: risks related to customer consolidation, rapid technological and regulatory changes; changes in customers’ capital spending plans; risks related to market conditions and/or economic downturns; competition; the ability to manage projects effectively and in accordance with management’s estimates; customer disputes related to the performance of services; the nature of its contracts, which do not obligate the Company’s customers to undertake any infrastructure projects and may be canceled on short notice; seasonality, adverse weather conditions and fluctuations in operational factors; risks related to the Company’s acquisitions and investment arrangements, including acquisition integration and financing; recoverability of goodwill; governmental and/or regulatory changes or other factors affecting the industries in which the Company operates; potential exposure to environmental liabilities; collectability of receivables; exposure from system or information technology interruptions; availability of qualified employees; the adequacy of our reserves; exposure to litigation; exposure related to foreign operations; and exposure to multiemployer pension plan liabilities. The Company grants credit, generally without collateral, to its customers. Consequently, the Company is subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and economic factors. However, the Company generally has certain lien rights on that work and maintains a diverse customer base. The Company believes its billing and collection policies are adequate to minimize potential credit risk. Strike’s customers include public and private energy providers and the primary industry served by the Company’s customers is utilities (including petroleum and natural gas pipeline infrastructure; electrical utility transmission and distribution; power generation; heavy civil and industrial infrastructure). See Note 18 below for information on the Company’s significant customers.

Self-Insurance. As discussed in Note 2, the Company maintains insurance policies for workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability, which are subject to per claim deductibles. The Company is self-insured up to the amount of the deductible. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the amount accrued for insurance

F-59

STRIKE CAPITAL, LLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

claims totaled $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company considers all insurance claims to be short-term in nature and includes them in current liabilities. The Company had no related insurance recoveries/receivables as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Surety Bonds. The Company is required to obtain surety bonds related to certain contracts with customers. Surety bonds totaled approximately $15.5 million as of December 31, 2017 which primarily related to performance on certain of the Company’s in process contracts.

Indemnities. The Company generally indemnifies its customers for the services it provides under its contracts, as well as other specified liabilities, which may subject the Company to indemnity claims, liabilities and related litigation. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company was not aware of any material asserted or unasserted claims in connection with these indemnity obligations.

Other Guarantees.In the ordinary course of its business, the Company generally warrants the work it performs for a one totwo-year period following substantial completion of a project. Much of the work performed by the Company is evaluated for defects shortly after the work is completed. Accrued warranty claims are not, and have historically not been, material. However, if warranty claims occur, the Company could be required to repair or replace warrantied items, or, if customers elect to repair or replace the warrantied item using the services of another provider, the Company could be required to pay for the cost of the repair or replacement.

Note 17. Employee Benefit Agreement

The employees of the Company are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan (the “Plan”) sponsored by the Company. The Plan covers substantially all of the Company’s employees subject to certain length of service requirements. All eligible employees may contribute a percent of their compensation subject to a maximum imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan also permits the Company to make matching contributions at a discretionary percentage determined by the Company each year. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company made contributions of approximately $2.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company made contributions of approximately $1.4 million.

No other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s contract revenues during 2016.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized contract revenue from three customers totaling approximately $281.2 million, or 39% of total contract revenues. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s contract revenues during 2015.

Note 19. Segments (restated) and error corrections

The “management approach” has been used to present the following segment information. This approach is based upon the way management of the Company organizes segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Financial information is reported on the basis that it is used internally by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. The Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”) has been identified as the CODM. The CODM evaluates operating results and financial data on a two-segment basis, and uses revenue and gross profit as key performance measures.

The Company’s two reportable segments are:

•

Major Projects – The Major Projects segment provides construction services including scheduling, management, and construction of pipelines up to 48” across various terrains and challenging environments, and constructs single-source facilities solutions with end-to-end construction capabilities ranging from compressor and meter stations to large gas treating and processing facilities.

•

Infrastructure and Integrity Services – The Infrastructure and Integrity Services segment provides comprehensive pipeline related services from initial construction to ongoing integrity, maintenance and operations, as well as ancillary services that include hydrostatic testing, horizontal directional drilling, fabrication, instrumentation and electrical and other services.

The Company manages its business primarily on the segment basis, with the CODM evaluating the Company’s performance based upon gross profit, which is defined as revenue less cost of revenues that are directly attributable to each segment. Segment gross profit does not include certain operating costs directly or indirectly associated with the operations of each business segment, such as depreciation and amortization recorded as operating expense, selling, general and administrative expenses and other costs. Segment gross profit is the key metric that is used by the CODM in evaluating business performance and is one of the bases for comparing operating performance with competitors. Segment gross profit is useful to measure and evaluate operating performance; however, other companies within this industry may define Segment gross profit differently than the Company, and as a result it may be difficult to use for comparison. The Company records certain intersegment transactions, which are eliminated in consolidation.

Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments is presented and reconciled to the consolidated financial information in the following tables. The tables have been updated to reflect adjustments to correct previously undetected errors in the allocation of revenues and cost of revenues to each segment, as well as the classification of equity-based compensation within Cost of revenues. The impact of the correction of the classification of equity-based compensation resulted in an increase to Cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the period ended December 31, 2015 of $2.85 million, $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. All periods have been restated to correct these errors and certain reclassifications to conform to current period presentation. While the segment allocation changes and the equity-based compensation reclassification had no effect on the Company’s consolidated operating results, they affected the revenue, cost of revenues and gross profit of each segment.

All of the Company’s operations are conducted in the United States and all revenues are derived from customers located in that region.

For years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for the period ended December 31, 2015, all property, plant and equipment is located in the United States.

Note 20. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all events subsequent to the consolidated balance sheet date through November 26, 2018, the date the financial statements were issued.

In January 2018, the Company entered into an exchange and redemption agreement with the majority owner of Capstone, its equity method investment, whereby the Company exchanged its 44% ownership and paid approximately $4.2 million in consideration and received substantially all of the assets from the affiliate. Determination of the estimated fair values of the net assets for this acquisition was preliminary as of the date these financial statements were available to be issued; as a result, further adjustments to these estimates may occur.

On October 19, 2018, it was announced the Company will be acquired by Sentinel Energy Services, Inc. This transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Upon consummation of the merger, the Company’s Phantom Units will vest. The awards will be classified as a liability and the corresponding compensation cost will be recognized in the statement of operations. As of the date these financial statements were issued, the Company anticipates recording compensation expense of approximately $3.0 million.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Description of Company

Strike Capital, LLC (“Strike”, or the “Company”) is a Texas limited liability company and was formed in 2016. In November 2016, Strike, LLC created a holding company, Strike Capital, LLC, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the holding company. There are no restrictions of cash flows between Strike Capital, LLC and Strike, LLC. Strike is a nationwide provider ofend-to-end pipeline, facilities, energy and civil infrastructure solutions. Strike offers a full complement of integrated engineering, construction, maintenance, integrity, and specialty services to its diversified, long-standing client base, which includes some of the largest midstream and upstream companies in North America. Strike operates through two business segments: (1) Infrastructure and Integrity Services (“IIS”) and (2) Major Projects. Strike’s IIS segment providesend-to-end support from initial construction to ongoing integrity, maintenance and operations. Strike’s Major Projects segment provides engineering, design, program management and construction services for large scale pipeline and facility construction projects across the United States. With more than 30 locations across key U.S. energy markets, Strike is able to leverage local crews to deliver the regional terrain expertise, quick mobilization, and specialized service required for any project. Strike provides its clients with a single point of contact for the full scope of their infrastructure needs across the nation and throughout an asset’s life cycle, from initial project engineering to ongoing support.

In May 2008, Strike acquired Pickett Measurement Systems, Inc. (“Pickett”), a measurement and fabrication services company specializing in skid-mounted measurement equipment. In June 2014, Strike acquired Delta Directional Drilling, LLC (“Delta”), a horizontal directional drilling contractor with rigs strategically located across the country. In June 2015, Strike LLC acquired substantially all of the net assets of Circle K of Arkansas, Inc., an oil and gas construction company. In December 2016, Strike acquired Crossfire, LLC (“Crossfire”), a pipeline and facilities construction company offering a full suite of construction and infrastructure services operating in the Western region of the United States. The Crossfire acquisition cemented Strike as one of the largest service providers in the Permian Basin and bolstered its presence in the Rockies and Bakken regions. In January 2018, Strike acquired substantially all of the assets of Capstone Energy Services, LLC (“Capstone”), a pipeline and facility construction service company within the Northeastern region of the United States. The Capstone acquisition solidified Strike’s presence in the Utica and Marcellus shale plays.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Segments.The Company reports its results under two reportable segments: Major Projects and Infrastructure Integrity Services. See Note 14 for additional information regarding the Company’s segments.

Basis of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include Strike and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The Company’s investments in other entities for which the Company does not have a controlling interest, but for which it has the ability to exert significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are recorded as investment in affiliate. Income or loss from these investments is recorded as a separate line item in the statements of operations. Intercompany profits or losses associated with the Company’s equity method investments are eliminated until realized by the investee in transactions with third parties.

F-70

Restatement of previously reported financial statements. The Company has restated its Statements of operations and its segment footnote as included in its notes to the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 to correct errors in the compilation of the Company’s previously reported segment results as well as the classification of equity-based compensation within Cost of revenues.

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Information.These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows with respect to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The results of the Company have historically been subject to significant seasonal fluctuations.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and its subsidiaries incorporated in Sentinel Energy Service Inc.’s Proxy Statement on FormS-4.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. See the Revenue Recognition policy included below for further details regarding these updates. Certain reclassifications have also been made to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for 2017 to conform to classifications for 2018. Specifically, the amounts previously reported as “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” and “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets have been included in the newly titled “Contract assets” and “Contract liabilities” in accordance with the newly adopted revenue recognition guidance discussed below.

Earnings per Unit. Basic and diluted earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income attributable to members of Strike by the weighted average number of Founder and Common units during the reporting period. Our basic and diluted EPU are computed using the two-class method, whereby earnings are allocated to the Founder and Common units that are participating securities based on their respective ownership. Per unit amounts are computed by dividing net income available to members by the weighted average units outstanding during each period.

Limitation of Members’ Liability. Under the terms of the limited liability agreement, as amended, the members are not obligated for debt, obligations, or other liabilities of the Company. Profits and losses are allocated to members based on their ownership interests.

F-71

Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition.Revenue is derived from construction projects performed under master service agreements as well as from contracts for specific projects or jobs requiring the construction and installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an entire infrastructure system.

The Company adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is also referred to as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“606”), under the modified retrospective transition approach effective January 1, 2018, with application to all existing contracts that were not substantially completed as of January 1, 2018. A cumulative effect adjustment of $1.5 million was made to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 based on the difference between the recognition criteria under Topic 606 and the Company’s previous revenue recognition practices under the previous revenue recognition guidance, ASC Topic 605-35. Consistent with the modified retrospective transition approach, the comparative 2017 prior period was not adjusted to conform to the current period presentation.

Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, control of promised goods and services is transferred to customers, and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services transferred. Revenue is recognized by the Company primarily over time utilizing thecost-to-cost measure of progress for fixed price contracts and certain master service and other service agreements, consistent with the Company’s previous revenue recognition practices. The Company concluded thecost-to-cost measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control of goods or services to the customer for these contracts.

Revenue derived from projects performed under master service agreements and other longer term contracts approximated 49.4% and 46.4% of consolidated revenue for nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.Revenue defined from projects performed under fixed price and lump sum agreements totaled 4.7% and 8.2% of consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

There was no material adjustment as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 based on the difference between the recognition criteria under Topic 606 and the Company’s previous revenue recognition practice under the previous revenue recognition guidance, ASC Topic 605-35.

Contracts.Revenue is derived from construction projects performed under master and other service agreements as well as from contracts for specific projects or jobs requiring the construction and installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an entire infrastructure system. The Company frequently provides services under time and materials, unit price, cost-plus, or fixed price master service or other service agreements. Revenue and related costs for master and other service agreements billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are rendered. The Company performs services under master and other service agreements on a fixed fee basis, under which Strike furnishes specified units of service for a fixed price per unit of service and revenue is recognized as the services are rendered.

Revenue from fixed price contracts provides for a fixed amount of revenue for the entire project, subject to certain additions for changed scope or specifications. Under unit-based contracts, Strike is compensated as units are completed based on pricing established with the customer for each delivered unit. The Company also performs services under master and service agreements on a cost-plus basis, under which Strike is paid for all of its allowed expenses plus an agreed percentage of profit. Revenue from these contracts, as well as for certain projects pursuant to master and other service agreements, is recognized over time using thepercentage-of-completion method, under which the percentage of revenue to be recognized for a given project is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date on the contract to the total estimated costs for the contract. Such contracts provide that the customer accept completion of progress to date and compensate the Company for services rendered, which may be measured in terms of costs incurred, units installed, hours expended or some other measure of progress.

F-72

Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontracted costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and the operational costs of capital equipment. The estimation process for revenue recognized under thepercentage-of-completion method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Management reviews estimates of contract revenue and costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected contract settlements are factors that influence estimates of total contract value and total costs to complete those contracts and, therefore, the Company’s profit recognition. Changes in these factors may result in revisions to costs and income, and their effects are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations in the period in which such changes are recognized.

The timing of customer billings is generally dependent upon advance billing terms, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of the work, or when services are provided. Under the typical payment terms of master and other service agreements and fixed price contracts, the customer makes progress payments based on quantifiable measures of performance by the Company as defined by each specific agreement. Progress payments, generally net of amounts retained, are paid by the customer over the duration of the contract. Amounts billed and due from customers are classified within accounts receivable, net, in the consolidated balance sheets. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Performance Obligations.A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts often require significant integration services, and even when delivering multiple distinct services, are generally accounted for as a single performance obligation. Contract amendments and change orders are generally not distinct from the existing contract and are accounted for as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation. The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are completed within one year.

When more than one contract is entered into with a customer on or close to the same date, the Company evaluates whether those contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract as well as whether those contracts should be accounted for as one, or more than one, performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and is based on the facts and circumstances of the various contracts.

Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of unearned transaction prices under contracts for which work is wholly or partially unperformed. As of September 30, 2018, the amount of the Company’s remaining performance obligations was $800.8 million, which the Company expects to recognize in the subsequent twelve months.

Additionally, Strike may incur incremental costs to obtain certain contracts, such as sales commissions and legal fees or initialset-up or mobilization costs, certain of which can be capitalized under the newly adopted revenue recognition guidance. Such costs were not material during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Variable Consideration.Transaction prices for the Company’s contracts may include variable consideration, which comprises items such as change orders, claims, incentives and liquidated damages. Change orders are modifications of an original contract, which effectively change deliverables under a contract. Either the Company or its customers and suppliers may initiate change orders. Change orders may include, among other things, changes in specifications or design, manner of performance, equipment, materials, scope of work, and/or the period of completion of the project. Management estimates variable consideration for a performance obligation utilizing estimation methods that best predict the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the estimated transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable

F-73

consideration is resolved. Management’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in transaction price are based largely on, past practices with the customer, specific discussions, correspondence or preliminary negotiations with the customer legal opinions and all other relevant information that is reasonably available. The effect of variable consideration on the transaction price of a performance obligation is typically recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulativecatch-up basis. To the extent unapproved change orders, claims and liquidated damages reflected in transaction price are not resolved in the Company’s favor, or to the extent incentives reflected in transaction price are not earned, there could be reductions in, or reversals of, previously recognized revenue.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company included approximately $39.6 million of change orders and/or claims in the transaction price for certain contracts that were in the process of being resolved in the normal course of business. These transaction price adjustments are included within contract assets, as appropriate. As of September 30, 2018, these change orders and/or claims were primarily related to certain large projects within the Infrastructure and Integrity Services segment that have either recently been completed, or are expected to reach substantial completion in the coming months. The Company actively engages with its customers to complete the final approval process, and generally expects these processes to be completed within one year. Amounts ultimately realized upon final acceptance by customers could be higher or lower than such estimated amounts. There were no such change orders or claims outstanding as of December 31, 2017.

Revenues by Category. The following tables present Strike’s revenue disaggregated by contract type for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:


Revenues by contract type (in thousands)	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Unit-price contracts	$	839,384	$	655,364
Fixed price contracts		59,946		65,320
Cost-plus contracts		238,561		511,806
Time and materials contracts		141,303		170,034

Total revenues		1,279,194		1,402,524

Contract Assets and Liabilities.With respect to the Company’s contracts, interim payments are typically received as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of contractual milestones. As a result, under fixed price contracts the timing of revenue recognition and contract billings results in contract assets and contract liabilities. Contract assets represent revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed for fixed price contracts and are current assets that are transferred to accounts receivable when billed or the billing rights become unconditional. Contract assets are not considered a significant financing component as the intent is to protect the customer in the event the Company does not perform on its obligations under the contract.

Conversely, contract liabilities represent billings in excess of revenues recognized for fixed price contracts. These arise under certain contracts that allow for upfront payments from the customer or contain contractual billing milestones, which result in billings that exceed the amount of revenues recognized for certain periods. Contract liabilities are current liabilities and are not considered a significant financing component, as they are used to meet working capital requirements that are generally higher in the early stages of a contract and protect the Company from the other party failing to meet its obligations under the contract. Contract assets and liabilities are recorded on a performance obligation basis at the end of each reporting period.

F-74

Contract assets and liabilities consisted of the following:


	September 30,		December 31,
(in thousands)	2018		2017
Contract assets	$	153,122	$	106,407
Contract liabilities		29,718		44,260

The increase in contract assets was primarily due to an increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in contract liabilities was primarily due to normal fluctuations in the mix of projects and billing terms.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $38.2 million related to contract liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2017.

The Company recognizes unbilled receivables fornon-fixed price contracts within “Accounts receivable” in certain circumstances, such as when revenues have been earned and recorded but the amount cannot be billed until a later date, costs have been incurred but are yet to be billed or if amounts arise from routine lags in billing.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there was a $17.9 million impact to gross profit due to a commercial settlement on a large pipeline project.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions. The Company utilizes certain practical expedients and exemptions associated with the new revenue recognition guidance. For example, the Company elected the modified retrospective transition method, which allowed the guidance to be applied only to contracts that were not considered substantially complete as of January 1, 2018. Additionally, in cases where the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Company’s performance completed to date, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice and does not disclose such performance as a remaining performance obligation. Also, contract consideration is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component if payment is expected to be collected less than one year from when the services are performed.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See the revenue recognition discussion within Significant Accounting Policies above, and the recently issued accounting standards discussion below, for information pertaining to the effects of recently adopted and other recently issued accounting standards, as updated from the discussion in the Company’s 2017 audited financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an update that amends certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Certain disclosure requirements will be removed, such as the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements, and other disclosure requirements will be modified or added, including a new requirement to disclose the range and weighted average (or a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution) of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Certain amendments, including the disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant observable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, should be applied prospectively, while other amendments should be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2020.

F-75

aninternal-use software license). Entities can choose to adopt the new guidance prospectively or retrospectively. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this update to materially impact its consolidated financial statements and will adopt the new standard by January 1, 2020.

In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance which provided clarification as to when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Limited and administrative modifications that do not change the value, vesting conditions, or classification of the award are exempt from following the modification guidance in the related topic. This standard, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2018, did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance which reduces diversity in practice by providing guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. These transactions include contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies and distributions received from equity method investments. This ASU, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2018, is effective on a retrospective basis, and the changes did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires the recognition of operating leaseright-of-use assets and the corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued an update that provides entities a choice between the previously required modified retrospective transition method and another transition method that allows entities to initially apply the new standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. While Strike continues to evaluate the effect of this standard on its consolidated financial statements, it is anticipated that adoption will result in a significant amount of leaseright-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities being recorded on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s assessment, which it expects to substantially complete in the fourth quarter of 2018, includes an evaluation of its existing lease portfolio, a comparison of its historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard, and an evaluation of the effect of certain accounting policy elections. In addition, the Company is evaluating certain changes to its current business processes and internal controls to meet the reporting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. The standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s compliance with the financial covenants under its current credit facility. The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2019 and will apply the transition method that allows for the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings on such date. The Company’s expectations may change as its assessment progresses. For information about the Company’s future lease commitments as of December 31, 2017, see Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies, in the Company’s 2017 audited financial statements.

Note 3. Earnings Per Unit

Basic and diluted EPU are computed using the two-class method, whereby earnings (losses) are allocated to each participating class based on the respective ownership. Per unit amounts are computed by dividing net income available to members by the weighted average units outstanding during each period. The unvested Phantom and Junior units are antidilutive and therefore, have not been included in diluted EPU.

In accordance with the Company’s existing Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, Founder units are entitled to receive a cumulative minimum annual distributions amount of $2 million.

All units issued in connection with the Delta acquisition (see further discussion Note 11) have been included in common units outstanding and have been allocated their respective share of unallocated earnings as participating units in accordance with the two- class method. Additionally, Delta units are entitled to a preferred distribution of $9 million which has been accounted for as equity-based compensation which is reflected in net income (loss). Refer to Note 11 for further discussion.

The following table provides details underlying the Company’s earnings (loss) per unit calculations for the periods indicated:

Note 4. Acquisition

During 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Crossfire LLC (“Crossfire”). Crossfire provides maintenance and construction activities in the oil and natural gas industry primarily in the Western andMid-Western regions of the United States. The aggregate consideration for this acquisition consisted of 41,493.0892 Member Units valued at $19.0 million as of the acquisition settlement date. There were no contingent consideration payments as part of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the year ended December 31, 2017, and resulted in approximately $1.0 million reduction in the final valuation of the equity issued and approximately $8.3 million allocated from goodwill to specifically identifiable intangible assets. The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

industry primarily in Pennsylvania and Ohio. As a result of the contribution, the Company’s ownership interest in the business was 44% which resulted in thede-recognition of these assets as of December 31, 2016. There was no gain or loss recognized on this transaction.

On January 1, 2018, the Company entered into an exchange and redemption agreement with the majority owner of the affiliate whereby the Company exchanged its 44% ownership and paid approximately $4.2 million cash and acquired the assets of Capstone for an aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $12.1 million. This asset acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the results of the acquired business have been included in the Company’s Infrastructure and Integrity Services segment and consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. The Company is in the process of finalizing its assessments of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities related to the acquired business, and further adjustments to the purchase price allocations may occur.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:


(in thousands)	Capstone

Net amortization expense for intangible assets and liabilities was $8.5 million and $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurement

The fair value hierarchy included in GAAP gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs, which consist of unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 inputs consist of quoted prices for similar instruments. Level 3 valuations are derived from inputs that are significant and unobservable, and these valuations have the lowest priority.

Fair value of financial instruments

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts for these instruments approximated fair value due to the short-term nature or maturity of the instruments.

Debt.The fair value of the Company’s long-term equipment notes approximate carrying value based on their effective interest rates compared to current market rates. The carrying amounts of the revolving loan and term loan debt approximate fair value because those financial instruments bear interest at variable rates that approximate current market rates for loans with similar maturities and credit quality.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Acquisitions. The determination of the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination requires estimates and judgments of future cash flow expectations for the acquired business and the related identifiable tangible and intangible assets. Fair values are calculated using expected cash flows and industry-standard valuation techniques. For current assets and current liabilities, book value is generally assumed to equal fair value. Goodwill is the amount by which consideration paid exceeds the fair value of acquired net assets.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In connection with the Company’s acquisitions, identifiable intangible assets acquired typically include goodwill, trade names, backlog, customer relationships, and software. The Company utilizes the fair value premise as the primary basis for its valuation procedures, which is a market-based approach to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Strike periodically engages the services of an independent valuation firm when a new business is acquired to assist management with this valuation process, including assistance with the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and the development of market-

F-80

based valuation assumptions. Based on these considerations, management utilizes various valuation methods, including an income approach, a market approach and a cost approach, to determine the fair value of intangible assets acquired based on the appropriateness of each method in relation to the type of asset being valued. The assumptions used in these valuation methods are analyzed and compared, where possible, to available market data, such as industry-based weighted average costs of capital and discount rates, trade name royalty rates, public company valuation multiples and recent market acquisition multiples. The level of inputs used for these fair value measurements is the lowest level (Level 3). The Company believes that these valuation methods appropriately represent the methods that would be used by other market participants in determining fair value.

Note 9. Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance

The following table provides details of accounts receivable, net of allowance (together, “accounts receivable, net”) as of the dates indicated:


Accounts receivable, net of allowance (in thousands)	September 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Contract billings	$	190,157		$	194,512
Retainage		52,423			59,439

Total accounts receivable	$	242,580		$	253,951
Less allowance for doubtful accounts		(887	)		(835	)

Total accounts receivable, net	$	241,693		$	253,116

Retainage, which has been billed, but is not due until completion of performance and acceptance by customers, is expected to be collected within one year. Receivables expected to be collected beyond one year are recorded within other long-term assets.

The Company’s billings are pursuant to contract provisions and contracts are with established companies; however, accounts receivable may be exposed to potential credit risk if our customers should encounter financial difficulties. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The Company had total contract values of approximately $1,578 million and $1,620 million related to uncompleted contracts, including approved change orders at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The contracts were in various stages of completion at these respective dates.

*	Payable to various financial institutions secured by certain equipment, with monthly principal interest payments ranging from $1,732 to $91,607.

On November 30, 2016, the Company entered into a $250 million term loan and $100 million letter of credit facility agreement (Term Loan Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain financial institutions as lenders. The term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which was 10.45% and 9.50% (inclusive of the applicable margin) as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and is due quarterly. Principal payments of $3.125 million are due quarterly with all unpaid principal and interest due on November 30, 2022, the term loan maturity date. In addition to interest on any borrowings on the letter of credit facility, the Company is also assessed an unused line fee and a facility fee. The term loan and letter of credit facility agreement is secured by all assets of the Company. On December 30, 2016, the letter of credit facility was increased to $110 million, which was outstanding as of December 31, 2017 to support a project in process. The letter of credit commitment expired on August 31, 2018. There after, any letters of credit are drawn from the ABL Loan discussed below.

On November 30, 2016, the Company entered into its ABL Loan and Security Agreement (“ABL”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain financial institutions as lenders. The ABL provides a revolver commitment up to $100 million and bears interest at LIBOR plus a floating applicable margin, which was 6.5% and 4.62% (inclusive of the applicable margin) as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The ABL termination date is November 30, 2021. The ABL includes customary restrictive covenants regarding indebtedness, sales of assets, liens, and investments, among other restrictions. In addition to interest, the ABL also includes an unused line fee and letter of credit facility fees. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had approximately $34.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under the ABL.

The credit agreement has certain restrictive and financial covenants including a net leverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2018.

Debt issuance costs associated with line of credit arrangements are classified as an asset and all other debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction to the long-term debt balance on the consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the arrangements.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accrued interest payable, which is recorded within other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $0.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively. For additional information pertaining to the Company’s debt instruments, see Note 12. Long-Term Debt in the Company’s 2017 audited annual financial statements.

Note 11. Member’s Equity and Unit-Based Compensation

Member Units. In accordance with the Company’s limited liability agreement, as amended, the Company has 1,000,000 member units authorized, 663,889 member units issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2018. Additionally, under the terms of the agreement, within 90 days following the year end, a minimum annual distribution of $2.0 million is to be paid to certain members of the Company pro rata based on the number of member units held by each. Following payment of the annual minimum distribution amount, all other distributions, including upon any dissolution, liquidation or termination of the Company, are to be paid out in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Delta Units. In connection with the acquisition of Delta Directional Drilling, LLC, the Company issued 4,108.0283 member units to the seller. As and when approved by its Board of Directors, the Company shall distribute to the holder of these units a preferred distribution of $9.0 million plus any unpaid priority return as

F-82

calculated as the remaining unpaid balance multiplied by an applicable rate of 8% per annum. The Delta units also require the holder to remain employed by the Company for a period of five years from the date of the acquisition; otherwise the distribution will be reduced pro rata based on number of calendar quarters remaining in the five-year period. Since the $9.0 million payment is contingent on the holder remaining employed by the Company, the preferred distribution will be recorded as share-based compensation expense ratably over the five-year period. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of approximately $2.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Phantom and Junior Units. Effective August 30, 2013, the Company adopted the Strike LLC Phantom Unit Plan. The combined aggregate number of Phantom Units and Junior Units available to be issued will not exceed 100,000. The Company has 47,950.96 issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Of the Junior Units issued, 32,355 were immediately vested. The remaining Junior Units that were issued will vest 20% annually for five years. The Phantom Units under this plan represent a hypothetical Junior Unit and vest only upon the consummation of a sale of the Company. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 22,650 Phantom Units under this plan were issued and outstanding. Holders of Junior Units and Phantom Units do not have voting rights on any matters. No value has been reflected in the financial statements for these Phantom Units as the units will not vest until the occurrence of a sale of the Company. In connection with the transaction with Sentinel Energy Services, Inc. discussed in Note 15, the Company anticipates recording compensation expense of $3.0 million associated with these Phantom Units.

Note 12. Income Taxes

As a limited liability company, the Company is not subject to federal income taxes as components of its income and expenses flow through directly to the members. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been reflected in these financial statements. However, the Company is subject to state income taxes in various states in which it operates.

In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, management uses an estimated annual effective tax rate based on forecasted annualpre-tax income, permanent tax differences, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effect of significant discrete items is separately recognized in the quarter(s) in which they occur. There were no discrete items during the year to date period.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases. The Company leases certain land, buildings and equipment undernon-cancelable lease agreements, including related party leases. The terms of these agreements vary from lease to lease, and certain leases include renewal options and escalation clauses.

Rent and related expense for operating leases that havenon-cancelable terms in excess of one year totaled approximately $60.2 million and $40.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company also incurred rent and related expense for facilities, vehicles and equipment having original terms of one year or less totaling approximately $109.4 million and $57.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

F-83

In March 2018, the Company exercised options on certain rental purchase option (RPO) operating leases effectively converting them into capital leases. The capital lease obligations of approximately $25 million will be repaid over a forty-eight-month period.

Self-Insurance. The Company maintains insurance policies for workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability, which are subject to per claim deductibles. The Company is self-insured up to the amount of the deductible. As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the amount accrued for insurance claims totaled $1.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company considers all insurance claims to be short-term in nature and includes them in current liabilities. The Company had no insurance recoveries/receivables as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Indemnities. The Company generally indemnifies its customers for the services it provides under its contracts, as well as other specified liabilities, which may subject the Company to indemnity claims, liabilities and related litigation. As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company was not aware of any material asserted or unasserted claims in connection with these indemnity obligations.

Note 14. Segments (restated) and error corrections

The “management approach” has been used to present the following segment information. This approach is based upon the way the management of the Company organizes segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Financial information is reported on the basis that it is used internally by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. The Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”) has been identified as the CODM. The CODM evaluates operating results and financial data on a two-segment basis, and uses revenue and gross profit as key performance measures.

The Company’s two reportable segments are:

•

The Company manages its business primarily on the segment basis, with the CODM evaluating the Company’s performance based upon gross profit, which is defined as revenue less cost of revenues that are directly attributable to each segment. Segment gross profit does not include certain operating cost directly or indirectly associated with the operations of each business segment, such as depreciation and amortization recorded as operating expense, selling, general and administrative expenses and other costs. Segment gross profit is the key metric that is used by the CODM in evaluating business performance and is one of the bases of comparing operating performance with competitors. Segment gross profit is useful to measure and evaluate operating performance; however, other companies within this industry may define Segment gross profit differently than the Company, and as a result it may be difficult to use for comparison. The Company records certain intersegment transactions, which are eliminated in consolidation.

F-84

Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments is presented and reconciled to the consolidated financial information in the following tables. The tables have been updated to reflect adjustments to correct previously undetected errors in the allocation of revenues and cost of revenues to each segment, as well as the classification of equity-based compensation within Cost of revenues. The impact of the correction of the classification of equity-based compensation resulted in an increase to Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 of $2.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. All periods have been restated to correct these errors and certain reclassifications to conform to current period presentation. While the segment allocation changes and the equity-based compensation reclassification had no effect on the Company’s consolidated operating results, they affected the revenue, cost of revenues and gross profit of each segment.

The

A-20

Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the 45th day following delivery thereof, unless the Sellers Representative gives written notice of its disagreement with the Closing Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to the Buyer prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the specific items and matters in dispute (the “Disputed Matters”). If a Notice of Disagreement is received by the Buyer Representative in a timely manner, then the Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the earlier of (i) the date the Sellers Representative and the Buyer Representative resolve in writing the Disputed Matters or (ii) the date any Disputed Matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm in accordance with thisSection 2.3(e). During the20-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, the Sellers Representative and the Buyer Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing the Disputed Matters. During such period the Buyer Representative shall have access to the work papers of the Sellers Representative prepared in connection with the Notice of Disagreement. If the Sellers Representative and the Buyer Representative are unable to resolve all Disputed Matters during such20-day period, then within ten days following the expiration of such20-day period, the Sellers Representative and the Buyer Representative shall submit in writing to the Accounting Firm for review any remaining Disputed Matters. The Sellers Representative and the Buyer Representative shall jointly request that the Accounting Firm render its reasoned written decision with respect to such remaining Disputed Matters for the purpose of calculating the Adjustment Amount within the30-day period following submission of such Disputed Matters to the Accounting Firm (it being understood that in conducting such review and rendering such decision, the Accounting Firm shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator). The determination of the Disputed Matters by the Accounting Firm will be based on whether such Disputed Matters have been calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Agreement. The Accounting Firm will make its determination solely on presentations and supporting material provided by the Parties and not pursuant to any independent review. The Accounting Firm’s determination as to any Disputed Matter shall not be more beneficial to the Buyer Representative than the determination of that item or amount by the Buyer Representative in the Closing Statement or more beneficial to the Sellers than the determination of that item or amount in the Notice of Disagreement. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The cost of any such review and determination by the Accounting Firm (including the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm) pursuant to thisSection 2.3(e) shall be allocated between the Buyer, on one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, based upon the extent to which each Party prevailed, as determined by the Accounting Firm. The fees (including attorneys’ fees) and disbursements of the Sellers’ independent auditors incurred in connection with their review of the Closing Statement and preparation of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by the Sellers, and the fees (including attorneys’ fees) and disbursements of the Buyer’s auditors incurred in connection with their preparation of the Closing Statement and review of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by the Buyer. The Buyer Representative shall revise the Closing Statement and the Adjustment Amount to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of any Disputed Matters pursuant to the provisions of thisSection 2.3(e).

(f) If the difference between the Adjustment Amount (as finally determined pursuant toSection 2.3(e)) and the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement is greater than zero, then the Company shall, and the Buyer shall cause the Company to, promptly (but in any event within ten days after such final determination) deliver to the Sellers Representative, to be further distributed to the Sellers, an amount equal to such excess, to be distributed to the Sellers in proportion to the number of Company Units held by such Sellers as of immediately prior to the Closing, in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Sellers Representative. If the difference between the Adjustment Amount (as finally determined pursuant toSection 2.3(e)) and the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement is negative, then the Sellers Representative shall promptly (but in any event within ten days after such final determination) deliver to the Company an amount equal to the absolute value of such deficiency by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Company.

A-21

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that any payment of cash under this Agreement to the Blocker Seller or its successors or assignees would cause the cumulative amount treated as paid in cash for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the Blocker Seller pursuant to this Agreement to exceed 60% of an amount equal to (i) the fair market value of shares of Buyer Class A Common Stock to be issued to the Blocker Seller hereunder (determined by using the average of the high and low trading price on the date that the Blocker Seller became entitled to such payment), plus (ii) the cumulative amount of cash paid to the Blocker Seller pursuant to this Agreement (or that would be so paid but for thisSection 2.3(g)), then such excess cash amount (the “Blocker Seller Tax Adjustment Amount”) shall instead be paid to the Blocker Seller or its successors or assignees in the form of a number of shares of Buyer Class A Common Stock (the “Blocker Seller Tax Adjustment Shares”) equal to the first round number exceeding (A) the Blocker Seller Tax Adjustment Amount divided by (B) the lesser of (I) the average of the daily VWAP of a share of Buyer Class A Common Stock for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the date of issuance of any Blocker Seller Tax Adjustment Shares and (II) the average of the high and low trading price of the Blocker Seller Tax Adjustment Shares on the date that the Blocker Seller or its successors or assignees became entitled to such Blocker Seller Tax Adjustment Shares.

2.4Issuance of Buyer Class B Common Stock. At the Closing, the Buyer shall (a) issue to the Continuing Members, one share of Buyer Class B Common Stock for each Retained Company Unit, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens consisting of restrictions on transfer generally arising under applicable Federal Securities Laws or state securities Law), and (b) make appropriate book entries (to the accounts designated by the Unit Sellers in writing prior to Closing) evidencing the issuance to the Unit Sellers of such shares of Buyer Class B Common Stock.

2.5Pre-Closing Reorganization.Prior to the First Blocker Merger, the Blocker will cause (a) any cash held by the Blocker to be distributed to the Blocker Seller or used to repay any indebtedness of the Blocker, (b) any indebtedness of the Blocker to be capitalized or repaid and (c) the equity interests of the Company held indirectly by the Blocker to be distributed to the Blocker (such actions in clauses (a), (b) and (c) are referred to as the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”). Effective prior to the First Blocker Merger Effective Time, the only asset of the Blocker will be the Acquired Company Units held by the Blocker, and the Blocker will have no liabilities other than accrued but unpaid Taxes, if any.

2.6Tax Treatment; Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The Parties agree that (i) the sale and purchase of the Acquired Company Units is intended for all applicable income Tax purposes to be treated as a taxable sale and purchase of partnership interests (and (ii) the First Blocker Merger and the Second Blocker Merger, taken together as an integrated transaction, are intended for all applicable income Tax purposes to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and this Agreement is intended to qualify as, and the Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury RegulationsSection 1.368-2(g) (clauses (i) and (ii), the “Intended Tax Treatment).

(b) Within 60 days of the final determination of Net Working Capital, the Buyer Representative shall provide to the Sellers Representative a schedule allocating the Purchase Price, and all other amounts constituting consideration for federal income Tax purposes, allocable to the Acquired Company Units among the assets of the Company (the “Allocation Schedule”), which such schedule shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Sections 755 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If the Sellers Representative does not object to such Allocation Schedule provided by the Buyer Representative within 45 days of receipt of such Allocation Schedule, then such Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the Sellers Representative objects to such Allocation Schedule provided by the Buyer Representative within 45 days of receipt of such Allocation Schedule, then the Parties shall work together in good faith to resolve all disputed items and agree upon the Allocation Schedule;provided, that, if the Parties are not able to resolve all disputed items within 30 days of the Sellers Representative’s objection, then the Parties shall submit all unresolved disputed items to the Accounting

A-22

Firm for resolution and the Parties will instruct the Accounting Firm to render a final determination as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Allocation Schedule as mutually agreed upon by the Parties or as finally determined by the Accounting Firm, as applicable, shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees, costs and expense of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not determined in a Party’s favor bears to the total amount at issue as finally determined by the Accounting Firm. The Parties shall make appropriate adjustments to the Allocation Schedule to reflect changes in the Purchase Price.

(c) The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, report, act and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and the Allocation Schedule, as finally determined and as adjusted pursuant toSection 2.6(b), including for purposes of (i) Treasury RegulationSection 1.743-1(d)(2) in determining the applicable adjustment to the U.S. federal income Tax basis of the Company’s assets and (ii) Treasury RegulationSection 1.751-1(a)(2) in determining the character of each Seller’s gain or loss, as the case may be, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. From and after the date hereof, (x) the Parties shall not take, or knowingly fail to take, any action that could reasonably be expected to prevent such Intended Tax Treatment and (y) the Parties shall cooperate to provide each other with Tax representation letters containing normal and customary representations, warranties and covenants for purposes of any Tax opinion with respect to the Intended Tax Treatment described in clause (ii) ofSection 2.6(a) to be rendered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any such Tax opinion required to be provided in connection with any filings with the SEC. The Parties agree to notify each other with respect to the initiation of any Action by any Taxing Authority relating to the Intended Tax Treatment or the Allocation Schedule, to consult with each other with respect to any such Action by such Taxing Authority, and to not take any position during the course of any such Action by such Taxing Authority that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment or with the Allocation Schedule, unless required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local ornon-U.S. Law).

2.7Closing. Unless another date, location or time is mutually agreed upon by the Buyer and the Company, the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) will take place remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and executed signature pages on the third Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth inArticle VIII (other than those conditions which by their terms are required to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), or on such other date or at such other time and place as the Buyer and the Company agree in writing (the date upon which the Closing occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date”). All proceedings to be taken and all documents to be executed and delivered by all parties at the Closing will be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously and no proceedings will be deemed to have been taken nor documents executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed and delivered.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof), the Buyer or the Company (or applicable Affiliate) shall pay over such amount to the applicable Governmental Authority (together with any applicable Tax Returns) and such amounts so withheld and paid over will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

10.2Tax Returns. The Sellers Representative shall cause to be prepared (a) all required income Tax Returns of the Blocker for anyPre-Closing Tax Period (the “Blocker Income Returns”) and (b) all required income Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for anyPre-Closing Tax Period (the “Company Income Returns,” and together with the Blocker Income Returns, the “Seller Income Returns”).

The Sellers Representative shall make any change reasonably requested by the Buyer to such draft Seller Income Returns that are received in writing not less than 5 days prior to the due

A-66

date for such Tax Return. The Buyer shall cause the Blocker, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, to timely file such Seller Income Returns as revised to reflect the Buyer’s reasonable comments. The Sellers Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, will pay or cause to be paid (at the time of filing) all income Taxes shown as due and owing on such originally filed Seller Income Tax Returns. The Sellers and the Buyer agree that with respect to any Straddle Period, (a) the Buyer shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, to utilize the “interim closing method” (and the “calendar day convention”) pursuant to Section 706 of the Code (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) to account for any varying interests in the Company for such taxable year, (b) the Buyer shall cause any such income Tax Returns with respect to such taxable year to be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of the Blocker, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or change in facts, and (c) at least 30 days prior to the due date of any such income Tax Returns, or such shorter period as required to timely file such income Tax Returns, the Buyer shall provide to the Sellers Representative for review and comment drafts of all such income Tax Returns required to be filed by the Blocker, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, after the Closing Date, and the Buyer shall make any change reasonably requested by the Sellers Representative to such income Tax Returns that are received in writing not less than 5 days prior to the due date for such Tax Return.

10.3Apportionment of Taxes. For purposes of determining whether the following Taxes are attributable to aPre-Closing Tax Period (or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date), the parties agree as follows:

(a) In the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis for a Straddle Period, the amounts that are attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

(b) In the case of Taxes in the form of interest or penalties, all such Taxes shall be treated as attributable to aPre-Closing Tax Period (or the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) to the extent relating to a Tax for aPre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) whether such items are incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on, before or after the Closing Date.

(c) In the case of Taxes imposed on the Blocker, the Company, any Company Subsidiaries, or the Buyer (or its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) as a result of income of any Flow-Thru Entity (including the Company or any Company Subsidiaries) realized prior to the Closing Date (such income being computed assuming the Flow-Thru Entity had a year that ends on the Closing Date and closed its books), such Taxes shall be treated as Taxes of the Blocker, Company or Company Subsidiary for aPre-Closing Tax Period.

(d) In the case of all other Taxes for a Straddle Period (including income Taxes, employment Taxes, and sales and use Taxes) the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Company or Subsidiary filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology” For purposes of this clause (c), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the mechanics set forth in clause (a) for periodic Taxes.

A-67

10.4Cooperation; Audits; Ordinary Course.

(a) In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the Tax liabilities imposed on the Blocker, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, for allPre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods, the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers Representative, on the other hand, shall cooperate on a reasonable basis with each other, including the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Taxing Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes. The Buyer shall and shall cause the Blocker, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Blocker, the Company, and the Company Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Sellers Representative, any extension thereof) for the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) give the Sellers Representative reasonable notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and shall allow the Sellers Representative to take possession of such books and records.

(a) ThisSection 10.5 will control any Tax Matters. The Buyer shall promptly notify the Sellers Representative upon receipt by the Buyer, the Blocker, the Company or any of their Affiliates of any notice of any Tax Matter from any Taxing Authority for anyPre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period (a “Pre-Closing Tax Matter”). The Sellers Representative may, at the Sellers’ expense, and upon notice to the Buyer, assume the defense of anyPre-Closing Tax Matter that relates solely to income Taxes for aPre-Closing Tax Period (a “Sellers Tax Matter”). If the Sellers Representative assumes the defense of a Sellers Tax Matter, then the Sellers Representative will have the authority to represent the interests of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries before the relevant Taxing Authority and the Sellers Representative will have the right to control the defense, including responding to inquiries and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Sellers Tax Matter;provided, that (i) the Sellers Representative may not enter into any settlement or otherwise compromise any such Sellers Tax Matter without the prior written consent of the Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), (ii) the Buyer will have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Sellers Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by the Sellers Representative, and (iii) the Sellers Representative shall keep the Buyer informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Sellers Tax Matter and will (in good faith) allow the Buyer to consult with it regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding.

(b) With respect to anyPre-Closing Tax Matter that is not a Sellers Tax Matter (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Sellers Representative does not assume the defense of suchPre-Closing Tax Matter pursuant toSection 10.5(a)), then the Buyer will have the authority, with respect to any suchPre-Closing Tax Matter, to represent the interests of the Blocker, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries before the relevant Taxing Authority and the Buyer will have the right to control the defense, including responding to inquiries and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, suchPre-Closing Tax Matter;provided, that (i) the Buyer may not enter into any settlement or otherwise compromise any suchPre-Closing Tax Matter to the extent it adversely affects the Tax liability of any of the Sellers without the prior written consent of the Sellers Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably

A-68

conditioned, withheld or delayed), (ii) the Sellers Representative will have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of suchPre-Closing Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by the Buyer, and (iii) the Buyer shall keep the Sellers Representative informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any suchPre-Closing Tax Matter and will (in good faith) allow the Sellers Representative to consult with it regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding.

10.6Amendment of Tax Returns and Other Actions.

(a) None of the Buyer, the Blocker, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates amend, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of any of the Blocker, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries with respect to aPre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Sellers Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), if such action could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax liability of any of the Sellers or result in an Indemnified Tax.

(b) None of the Buyer, the Blocker, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates shall (i) initiate any voluntary contact with any Taxing Authority relating to Taxes of the Blocker, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries with respect to anyPre-Closing Tax Period, without the prior written consent of the Sellers Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), except that this clause (i) shall not restrict the Blocker, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries from filing any Tax Return for a tax period ending after the Closing Date, or (ii) permit the Blocker, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates to take any action (including making any Tax election) on or after the Closing that is effective for Tax purposes on or before the Closing Date and that is outside the Ordinary Course of Business.

The agreements and obligations of the Parties under thisArticle XI, together with any covenant and agreement that by its terms provide for performance fully or in part following the Closing (including but not limited toSection 2.3,Section 2.6 andSection 10.1), shall survive the Closing and shall continue in accordance with their terms.

(b) The representations and warranties of the Parties set forth inArticle III,IV,V andVI and all covenants of any of the Parties that are to be fully performed prior to Closing, shall not survive the Closing.

11.5Successors and Assigns; Third-Party Beneficiaries.

No Party may assign any of such Party’s rights or delegate any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement to any Person without the prior written consents of the other Parties to this Agreement, and any purported assignment or delegation without such prior written consents will be void and of no effect;provided,however, that (i) the Sellers Representative may assign any of its rights and delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (on a full or partial basis, permanently or temporarily, or for one or more specific instances or circumstances) to any Person (including any Seller) and (ii) the Buyer may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to its Financing Sources.

11.10Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Sellers Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) and the Buyer;provided,however, that no amendment may be made that alters the terms, substance or meaning of the agreements, rights, liabilities or covenants contained in this Agreement in any material respect without the approval of the affected Party.

11.12Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement is to be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its rules of conflict of laws. Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery in New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

Each Party irrevocably agrees not to assert (a) any objection which it may ever have to the laying of venue of any such Action in the Delaware Court of Chancery in New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and (b) any claim that any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

11.13Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES, AND AGREES TO CAUSE EACH OF HIS, HER OR ITS AFFILIATES TO WAIVE, AND COVENANTS THAT NEITHER IT NOR ANY OF HIS, HER OR ITS AFFILIATES WILL ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES THAT THISSECTION 11.13 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THE PARTIES ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO OR CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THISSECTION 11.13 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

11.14Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is found to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision will be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

A-73

11.15Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which will constitute but one instrument. This Agreement is effective upon delivery of one executed counterpart from each Party to the other Parties. The signatures of all of the Parties need not appear on the same counterpart. The delivery of signed counterparts by email which includes a copy of the sending party’s signature(s) (including by “.pdf” format) is as effective as signing and delivering the counterpart in person.

11.16Enforcement of Agreement. Each Party’s obligation under this Agreement is unique. The Parties acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law if any Party fails to perform in any material respect any of its obligations hereunder and accordingly agree that each Party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek an injunction or similar equitable relief restraining such Party from committing or continuing any such breach or threatened breach or to seek to compel specific performance of the obligations of any other Party under this Agreement, without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the Parties shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. No remedy shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and all available remedies shall be cumulative.

11.17Release.

(a) Each of the Buyer and the Blocker Merger Sub agrees that, effective as of the Closing, the Blocker, Company and the Company Subsidiaries will be deemed to have released and discharged the Sellers Parties (whether in such person’s capacity as a Seller, securityholder, director, officer, employee or otherwise) from any and all Actions, whether known or unknown, liquidated or contingent, to the extent based upon or arising out of the dealings among any of the Sellers Parties, on the one hand, and the Blocker, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, on the other hand, on or prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Buyer Released Claims”);provided,however, the Buyer Released Claims shall not include any liabilities arising out of or under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. Each of the Buyer and the Blocker Merger Sub acknowledges that the Laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Each of the Buyer and the Blocker Merger Sub acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a party from waiving claims that it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, Each of the Buyer and the Blocker Merger Sub agrees that, effective as of the Closing, the Blocker, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries will be deemed to waive any such provision (subject to the limitations herein). Each of the Buyer and the Blocker Merger Sub further agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, cause the Blocker, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to (i) institute an Action to the extent based upon, arising out of, or relating to any of the Buyer Released Claims, or (ii) participate, assist, or cooperate in any such Action except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b) The Sellers agree that, effective as of the Closing, the Sellers will be deemed to have released and discharged, on behalf of itself and its equityholders and their Affiliates (other than the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (and the Blocker in the case of the Blocker Seller)), the Buyer Parties (whether in such person’s capacity as a securityholder, director, officer, employee or otherwise) from any and all Actions, whether known or unknown, liquidated or contingent, to the extent based upon or arising out of the dealings among any of the Buyer Parties, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, on or prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Sellers Released Claims”);provided,however, the Seller Released Claims shall not include any liabilities arising out of or under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, any rights to indemnification under any Organizational Documents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any other Contract (including the Company A&R Regulations), or any rights to accrued and unpaid salary or compensation earned by such the Sellers or their respective Affiliates or employee benefits due to the

A-74

Sellers or their respective Affiliates. The Sellers acknowledge that the Laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” The Sellers acknowledge that such provisions are designed to protect a party from waiving claims that it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, the Sellers agree that, effective as of the Closing, the Sellers will be deemed to waive any such provision (subject to the limitations herein). The Sellers further agree that it will not, directly or indirectly, cause any of its equityholders or Affiliates to (i) institute an Action to the extent based upon, arising out of, or relating to any of the Sellers Released Claims, or (ii) participate, assist, or cooperate in any such Action except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

11.18Non-Recourse. Except in the case of intentional fraud, all Actions that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to: (a) this Agreement, (b) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), (c) any breach of this Agreement and (d) any failure of the Transactions to be consummated, may be made only against (and, without prejudice to the rights of any express third party beneficiary to whom rights under this Agreement inure pursuant toSection 11.5), are those solely of the Persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement Except in the case of intentional fraud, no other Person, including any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, optionholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or Representative of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any Party, or any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of, or any financial advisor or lender to any of the foregoing, shall have any liabilities (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to the items in the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (d) and each Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably releases and forever discharges each of such Persons from any such liability or obligation.

11.19Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, then this Agreement will be construed as drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (a) any reference or citation in this Agreement to any Contract or any federal, state, local or foreign statutes, regulations or other Laws or statutory or regulatory provision shall, when the context requires, be deemed references or citations to such Contracts, statutes, regulations, other Laws or provisions, as amended, modified and supplemented from time to time (and, in the case of a statute, regulation or other Law, to (i) any successor provision and (ii) all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder); (b) all references to the preamble, recitals, Sections, Articles, Exhibits or Disclosure Letter are to the preamble, recitals, Sections, Articles, Exhibits or Disclosure Letter of or to this Agreement; (c) the words “herein”, “hereto”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or paragraph hereof; (d) masculine gender will also include the feminine and neutral genders and vice versa; (e) words importing the singular will also include the plural, and vice versa; (f) the words “include”, “including” and “or” mean without limitation by reason of enumeration; (g) all references to “$” or dollar amounts are to lawful currency of the United States of America; (h) the terms “delivered” or “made available” or similar phrases when used in this Agreement will mean that such documents or other information has been physically or electronically delivered to the relevant parties, including via a virtual data room; and (i) time periods within or following which any payment is to be made or any act is to be done will be calculated by excluding the day on which the time period commences and including the day on which the time period ends and by extending the period to the next Business Day following if the last day of the time period is not a Business Day.

A-75

11.20Disclosure Letter. For the purposes of the Disclosure Letter, any information, item or other disclosure set forth in any section of the Disclosure Letter will be deemed to have been included in any other sections of the Disclosure Letter as though fully set forth in such section of the Disclosure Letter to the extent the relevance of such matter to such section is reasonably apparent on its face (without inquiry or investigation). Inclusion of information in any part of the Disclosure Letter will not be construed as an admission that such information is material to the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Blocker, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Buyer, as applicable. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Letter are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected therein and the inclusion of such matters shall not be deemed an admission that such matters were required to be reflected in the Disclosure Letter.

11.21Conflict of Interest. If the Sellers so desire, and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Blocker, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Buyer or the Blocker Merger Sub, Jones Day is permitted to represent the Sellers and/or the Sellers Representative after the Closing in connection with any matter, including anything related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, Jones Day is permitted to represent the Sellers, the Sellers Representative and their respective agents and Affiliates, or any one or more of them, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (“dispute” includes litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceeding) with the Buyer, the Blocker Merger Sub, the Blocker, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective agents or Affiliates under or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any related matter, such as any claim. Upon and after the Closing, the Blocker, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries will cease to have any attorney-client relationship with Jones Day, unless and to the extent Jones Day is specifically engaged in writing by the Blocker, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to represent the Blocker, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries after the Closing and either (a) such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to the Sellers or the Sellers Representative or (b) the Sellers or the Sellers Representative (as applicable) consent in writing at the time to such engagement. Any such representation of the Blocker, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries by Jones Day after the Closing in accordance herewith will not affect the foregoing provisions hereof. For example, and not by way of limitation, even if Jones Day is representing the Blocker, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries after the Closing, Jones Day is permitted simultaneously to represent the Sellers and/or the Sellers Representative in any matter, including any disagreement or dispute relating hereto. Furthermore, Jones Day is permitted to withdraw from any representation of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in order to be able to represent or continue so representing the Sellers or the Sellers Representative, even if such withdrawal causes the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or Buyer additional legal expense (such as to bring new counsel “up to speed”), delay or other prejudice

11.22Privileged Communications. Each of the Buyer and the Blocker Merger Sub agrees that, as to all communications between and among all counsel (including Jones Day) for the Sellers, the Blocker, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Sellers Representative, the Sellers, the Blocker, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by or in connection with this Agreement (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”), the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence with respect to the Privileged Communications belongs to the Sellers and may be controlled by the Sellers and will not pass to or be claimed by the Buyer, the Blocker Merger Sub or any of its respective subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries). The Privileged Communications are the property of the Sellers and, from and after the Closing, none of the Buyer, its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Blocker, Company and the Company Subsidiaries) or any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through the Buyer or such Subsidiaries will seek to obtain the Privileged Communications, whether by seeking a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or through other means. The Buyer, and its respective Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), together with any of their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns, further agree that no such party may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications in any action against or involving any of the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates after the Closing. The Privileged Communications may be used by the

A-76

Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with any dispute that relates to the transactions contemplated by or in connection with this Agreement, including in any claim brought by the Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Buyer or any of its respective Subsidiaries and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of its Affiliates) after the Closing, the Buyer and its Subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by counsel to such third party;provided, that neither the Buyer nor its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Blocker, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Sellers Representative.

11.23Trust Account Waiver. The Sellers, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries acknowledge that the Buyer established the Trust Account for the benefit of its public shareholders. The Sellers, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries acknowledge that, prior to the Closing, it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, including, without limitation, any claim for indemnification and hereby waives any claim for monies in the Trust Account it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and the Transactions, and, the Sellers, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

CAPITALIZATION

Section 4.1.Authorized Capital Stock. The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, which the Corporation is authorized to issue is [●]¹ shares, consisting of (a) 220,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”), including (i) 200,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”), (ii) 20,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock”), and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). Prior to the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation (this “Certificate”), the Corporation was a Cayman Islands exempted company (at such time, the “Predecessor Corporation”), which had authorized share capital consisting of (i) 200,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Predecessor Class A Ordinary Shares”), (ii) 20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Predecessor Class B Ordinary Shares”), and 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, par value $0.0001 per share. Immediately upon the acceptance of this Certificate for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, each Predecessor Class A Ordinary Share

¹	NTD: Number of authorized shares of each class (other than Class B) to be determined.

A-83

automatically, without any further action, converted into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock and each Predecessor Class B Ordinary Share automatically, without any further action, converted into an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock.

Section 4.2.Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is hereby expressly authorized to provide out of the unissued shares of the Preferred Stock for one or more series of Preferred Stock and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, of each such series and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issuance of such series and included in a certificate of designation (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) filed pursuant to the DGCL, and the Board is hereby expressly vested with the authority to the full extent provided by law, now or hereafter, to adopt any such resolution or resolutions.

Section 4.3.No Class Vote on Changes in Authorized Number of Shares of Preferred Stock. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate, any Preferred Stock Designation or any resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series of stock adopted by the Board, the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

Section 4.4.Common Stock.

(a) Voting.

(i) Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power with respect to the Corporation.

(ii) Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to vote.

(iii) Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, holders of the Class A Common Stock and holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), holders of shares of any series of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate (including any amendment to any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock or other series of Common Stock if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, are entitled exclusively, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or the DGCL.

(b) Class B Common Stock.

(i) Shares of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on aone-for-one basis (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”) automatically at the time of the closing of an initial Business Combination.

A-84

(ii) Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the case that additional shares of Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Corporation’s initial public offering of securities (the “Offering”) and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, all issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of the closing of the initial Business Combination at a ratio for which:

(1) the numerator shall be equal to the sum of (A) 25% of all shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable (upon the conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or otherwise) by the Corporation, related to or in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination (excludingCo-Investment Securities and any securities issued or issuable to any seller in the initial Business Combination) plus (B) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination; and

(2) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination.

As used herein, the termCo-Investment Securities means the shares of Class A Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to that certain Option Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2017, by and between the Corporation, CSL Energy Opportunities Fund III, L.P. and CSL Energy Holdings III, Corp, LLC, as the same may be amended.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock or equity linked securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding consenting or agreeing separately as a single class in the manner provided inSection 4.4(b)(iii), and (ii) in no event shall the Class B Common Stock convert into Class A Common Stock at a ratio that is less thanone-for-one.

The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any subdivision (by stock split, subdivision, exchange, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, exchange, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares occurring after the original filing of this Certificate without a proportionate and corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.

Each share of Class B Common Stock shall convert into itspro rata number of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to thisSection 4.4(b). Thepro rata share for each holder of Class B Common Stock will be determined as follows: each share of Class B Common Stock shall convert into such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is equal to the product of one multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to thisSection 4.4(b) and the denominator of which shall be the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock at the time of conversion.

(iii) Voting. Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), for so long as any shares of Class B Common Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the prior vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the Class B Common Stock. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the holders of Class B Common Stock may be taken without a

A-85

meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of the outstanding Class B Common Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of Class B Common Stock were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt written notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent of the holders of Class B Common Stock shall, to the extent required by law, be given to those holders of Class B Common Stock who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders of Class B Common Stock to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

Section 4.5.Rights and Options. The Corporation has the authority to create and issue rights, warrants and options entitling the holders thereof to acquire from the Corporation any shares of its capital stock of any class or classes, with such rights, warrants and options to be evidenced by or in instrument(s) approved by the Board. The Board is empowered to set the exercise price, duration, times for exercise and other terms and conditions of such rights, warrants or options;provided, however, that the consideration to be received for any shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise thereof may not be less than the par value thereof.

ARTICLE V.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 5.1.Board Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon the Board by statute, this Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation (“Bylaws”), the Board is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, this Certificate, and any Bylaws adopted by the stockholders;provided, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

Section 5.2.Number, Election and Term.

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement by and between the Corporation and the other holders of Common Units (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), the number of directors of the Corporation, other than those who may be elected by the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock voting separately by class or series, shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board.

(b) Subject toSection 5.5, the Board shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, and designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III. The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate; the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate; and the term of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate. At each succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, beginning with the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual

A-86

meeting shall be elected for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office, subject to their earlier death, resignation or removal. Subject toSection 5.5, if the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The Board is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions thereof, to assign members of the Board already in office to the aforesaid classes at the time this Certificate (and therefore such classification) becomes effective in accordance with the DGCL.

(c) Subject toSection 5.5 hereof, a director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

(d) Unless and except to the extent that the Bylaws shall so require, the election of directors need not be by written ballot.

Section 5.3.Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to (a) Section 5.5 hereof and (b) the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement, any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely by the majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancies occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. In the event of vacancies on the Board, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, shall exercise the powers of the full Board until the vacancy is filled.

Section 5.4.Removal. Subject toSection 5.5 hereof, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66²⁄₃ percent of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. At least 45 days prior to any annual or special meeting of stockholders at which it is proposed that any director be removed from office, written notice of such proposed removal and the alleged grounds thereof shall be sent to the director whose removal will be considered at the meeting.

Section 5.5.Preferred Stock – Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of thisArticle V, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect one or more directors, the term of office, the filling of vacancies, the removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series of the Preferred Stock as set forth in this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) and such directors shall not be included in any of the classes created pursuant to thisArticle V unless expressly provided by such terms.

Section 5.6.No Cumulative Voting. Except as may otherwise be set forth in the resolution or resolutions of the Board providing the issue of one or more series of Preferred Stock, and then only with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, cumulative voting in the election of directors is specifically denied.

A-87

ARTICLE VI.

BYLAWS

Subject to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement, in furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by law, the Board shall have the power and is expressly authorized to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders;provided,however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66²⁄₃ percent of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws; andprovided further,however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

ARTICLE VII.

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS; ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

Section 7.1.Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board.

Section 7.2.Advance Notice. Subject to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement, advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws.

Section 7.3.Action by Written Consent. Except as may be otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) relating to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected by a duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders other than with respect to the Class B Common Stock, with respect to which action may be taken by written consent.

ARTICLE VIII.

LIMITED LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1.Limitation of Director Liability. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended unless a director violated their duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived improper personal benefit from their actions as directors. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

Section 8.2.Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

A-88

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition;provided,however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under thisSection 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by thisSection 8.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of thisSection 8.2(a), except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

(b) Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation or advancement of expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and charges) under thisSection 8.2 shall be made promptly, and in any event within forty-five days (or, in the case of an advancement of expenses, twenty days, provided that the director or officer has delivered the undertaking contemplated bySection 8.2(a) if required), upon the written request of the director or officer. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within forty-five days (or, in the case of an advancement of expenses, twenty days, provided that the director or officer has delivered the undertaking contemplated bySection 8.2(a) if required), the right to indemnification or advancements as granted by thisSection 8.2 shall be enforceable by the director or officer in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, which shall be the sole and exclusive forums for any such action. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advancement of expenses where the undertaking required pursuant toSection 8.2(a), if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the Corporation to the maximum extent permitted by law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

A-89

under law, this Certificate, the Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

(d) Any repeal or amendment of thisSection 8.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Certificate inconsistent with thisSection 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

(e) For purposes of thisSection 8.2, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any constituent Corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under thisSection 8.2 with respect to the resulting or surviving Corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent Corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(f) ThisSection 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.

ARTICLE IX.

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY

To the extent allowed by law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, and the Corporation renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of the Corporation will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to the Corporation, except, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall apply with respect to any of the directors or officers of the Corporation only with respect to a corporate opportunity that was offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and such opportunity is one the Corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Corporation to pursue.

ARTICLE X.

EXCLUSIVE FORUM FOR CERTAIN LAWSUITS

Section 10.1.Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Certificate or the Bylaws, or (d) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (a) through (d) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction.

A-90

Section 10.2.Consent to Jurisdiction. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope ofSection 10.1 immediately above is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (a) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforceSection 10.1 immediately above (an “FSC Enforcement Action”) and (b) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such FSC Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

ARTICLE XI.

Section 11.1.Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Certificate shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Certificate (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Certificate containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Certificate.

ARTICLE XII.

AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Subject to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Corporation reserves the right at any time and from time to time to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force that may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by this Certificate and the DGCL; and, except as set forth inArticle VIII, all rights, preferences and privileges of whatever nature herein conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons by and pursuant to this Certificate in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in thisArticle XI. In addition to any other vote of holders of capital stock that is required by this Certificate or by law, any amendment or repeal ofArticle V,Article VI,Article VIII,Article IX and thisArticle XII shall require the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66²⁄₃ percent of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal.

Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the holders of Class B Common Stock may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of the outstanding Class B Common Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of Class B Common Stock were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of stockholders are recorded.

(iv)Dividends. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amended & Restated Certificate, dividends shall not be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock.

(v)Transfer of Class B Common Stock.

(1) A holder of Class B Common Stock may transfer shares of Class B Common Stock to any transferee (other than the Corporation) only if, and only to the extent permitted by the LLC Agreement, such holder also simultaneously transfers an equal number of such holder’s Common Units to such transferee in compliance with the LLC Agreement. The transfer restrictions described in thisSection 4.4(b)(v)(1)are referred to as the “Restrictions.”

(4) The Board may, to the extent permitted by law, from time to time establish, modify, amend or rescind, by bylaw or otherwise, regulations and procedures that are consistent with the provisions of thisSection 4.4(b)(v) for determining whether any transfer or acquisition of shares of Class B Common Stock would violate the Restrictions and for the orderly application, administration and implementation of the provisions of thisSection 4.4(b)(v). Any such procedures and regulations shall be kept on file with the Secretary of the Corporation and with the Transfer Agent and shall be made available for inspection by any prospective transferee and, upon written request, shall be mailed to holders of shares of Class B Common Stock.

(5) The Board shall have all powers necessary to implement the Restrictions, including without limitation, the power to prohibit the transfer of any shares of Class B Common Stock in violation thereof.

(vi)Exchange of Class B Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock (together with the same number of Common Units) may be exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock as provided in the Exchange Agreement. The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exchange of shares of Class B Common Stock and Common Units for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be issuable upon any such exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement;provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Corporation from satisfying its obligations in respect of any such exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement by delivering to the holder of the shares of Class B Common Stock and Common Units being exchanged (A) shares of Class A Common Stock held in treasury by the Corporation or (B) cash in lieu of shares of Class A Common Stock in the amount permitted by and provided in the Exchange Agreement. All shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be issued upon any such exchange of shares of Class B Common Stock and Common Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement will, upon issuance in accordance with the Exchange Agreement, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS BOOK ENTRY ARE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS (INCLUDING RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER) SET FORTH IN THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE CORPORATION (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AND SHALL BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO ANY STOCKHOLDER MAKING A REQUEST THEREFOR).

(viii)Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up of the Corporation. The holders of Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to receive any assets of the Corporation in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(c)Dividends. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of the Corporation) when, as

A-96

and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

(d)Class A Common Stock. In no event shall the shares of Class A Common Stock be split, divided, or combined (including by way of stock dividend) unless the outstanding shares of the other class shall be proportionately split, divided or combined.

(e)Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up of the Corporation. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by them.

Article 1

Stockholders

1.1 Place of Meetings. Meetings of stockholders of Strike, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), shall be held at the place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) from time to time.

1.2 Annual Meetings. Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held at such time and place as fixed by the Board of Directors for the purpose of electing directors and transacting any other business as may properly come before such meetings.

1.3 Special Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only by the Board of Directors, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Lead Director of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, to be held at such place, date and time as shall be designated in the notice or waiver of notice thereof. Only business within the purposes described in the Corporation’s notice of meeting required bySection 1.4 may be conducted at the special meetings. The ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting is specifically denied.

1.4 Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given that shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation (as the same may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, the written notice of any meeting shall be given no fewer than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.

1.5 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

1.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or these Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes that could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the stockholders present at any duly convened meeting may continue to do business until adjournment notwithstanding any withdrawal from the meeting of holders of shares counted in determining the existence of a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided inSection 1.5 of these Bylaws until a quorum shall attend. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or

A-104

any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes;provided,however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

1.7 Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, if any, or in his or her absence by the Lead Director, if any, or in his or her absence by the Vice Chairperson of the Board of the Directors, if any, or in his or her absence by the Chief Executive Officer, or in his or her absence by a chairperson designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation, by a chairperson chosen at the meeting. The Board of Directors may appoint anon-executive Lead Director, who shall be a director of the Corporation and shall undertake duties prescribed herein and such other duties or responsibilities as the Board of Directors may assign. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

1.8 Voting; Proxies. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder that has voting power upon the matter in question. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders who are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, be decided by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders who are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote. In the case of a matter submitted for a vote of the stockholders as to which a stockholder approval requirement is applicable under the stockholder approval policy of The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other exchange or quotation system on which the capital stock of the Corporation is quoted or traded, the requirements of Rule16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in each case for which no higher voting requirement is specified by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”), the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the vote required for approval shall be the requisite vote specified in such stockholder approval policy,Rule 16b-3 or Code provision, as the case may be (or the highest such requirement if more than one is applicable).

1.9 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date for stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders, which shall not be more than 60 nor fewer than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice of a meeting of stockholders, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed: (1) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (2) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to

A-105

any adjournment of the meeting;provided,however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote.

1.10 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting;provided,however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is fewer than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder as of the record date. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. An original or duplicate stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders or the books of the Corporation or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

1.11 Notice of Stockholder Business; Nominations.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. Nominations of one or more individuals to the Board of Directors (each, a “Nomination,” and more than one, “Nominations”) and the proposal of business other than Nominations (“Business”) to be considered by the stockholders of the Corporation may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (1) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting or any supplement thereto (provided,however, that reference in the Corporation’s notice of meeting to the election of directors or to the election of members of the Board of Directors shall not include or be deemed to include Nominations), (2) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (3) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time the notice provided for in thisSection 1.11 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in thisSection 1.11. Subclause (3) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit business (other than matters properly brought under Rule14a-8 (or any successor thereto) under the Exchange Act and indicated in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such Business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting;provided,however, that reference in the Corporation’s notice of meeting to the election of directors or to the election of members of the Board of Directors shall not include or be deemed to include Nominations. Nominations may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (2) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided for in thisSection 1.11 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in thisSection 1.11. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may make Nominations of one or more individuals (as the case may be) for election to such positions as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required bySection 1.11(c)(1) shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation in accordance withSection 1.11(c)(1)(E).

Article 6

Indemnification

6.1 Right to Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, member, trustee, partner, manager, representative or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation (an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis in such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as director, officer, employee, member, trustee, partner, manager, representative or agent or in any other capacity while serving as such, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was

A-114

unlawful. The Corporation shall indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if the initiation of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnitee was authorized by the Board of Directors.

6.2 Prepayment of Expenses. The Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition;provided,however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking (an “Undertaking”) by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise.

6.3 Claims.

(a) To obtain indemnification under thisArticle 6, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by an Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of thisSection 6.3(a), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not and were not parties to the matter in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee (“Disinterested Directors”), (2) if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by less than a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors or (3) if a majority of Disinterested Directors so directs, by the stockholders of the Corporation.

(b) If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under thisArticle 6 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnitee has been received by the Corporation, the Indemnitee may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required Undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct that makes it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. If a determination shall have been made pursuant toSection 6.3(b) that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to thisSection 6.3(b). The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to thisSection 6.3(b) that the procedures and presumptions of thisArticle 6 are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of thisArticle 6.

6.4 Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any current or former employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of thisArticle 6 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of current or former directors and officers of the Corporation.

A-115

6.5 Non-exclusivity of Rights.

(b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.

A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Corporation.

The Corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect the same.

The Company shall, subject to the availability of cash, make advance distributions to the Members of their respective Tax Distributions on a quarterly basis based upon estimates of the required Tax Distributions in a manner sufficient to permit the Members to apply such advances toward their quarterly estimated tax payment obligations. If the Manager determines there are insufficient funds available to pay the Tax Distributions in full, then Tax Distributions shall be made to each Member on a pro rata basis, with each Unit receiving the same amount on a per Unit basis. To the extent that any holders of Units have not received Tax Distributions in full under thisSection 5.1(b), such unpaid amounts shall carryforward and shall be distributed in future periods as Tax Distributions under this Section. Tax Distributions shall be treated as advances of any amounts holders of Units are entitled to receive pursuant toSection 5.1(a) andArticle X. For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Manager specifies that a distribution is not a Tax Distribution pursuant to thisSection 5.1(b), each Distribution with respect to a Unit shall be treated as a Tax Distribution.

5.2 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in these Regulations, the Company shall not make any Distribution to any Member on account of any Company Interest to the extent such Distribution would render the Company insolvent, violate any applicable Law or violate the terms of the Credit Agreement or result in a default (or an event that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) thereunder.

ARTICLE VI

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS

6.1 Capital Accounts.

(a) The Company shall maintain a separate Capital Account for each Member according to the rules of Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). For this purpose, the Company may (in the discretion of the

A-136

Manager), upon the occurrence of the events specified in Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), increase or decrease the Capital Accounts in accordance with the rules of such Treasury Regulation and Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to reflect a revaluation of Company property.

(b) For purposes of computing the amount of any item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction to be allocated pursuant to thisArticle VI and to be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Members, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for this purpose);provided,however, that:

(i) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall include those items described in Code Section 705(a)(l)(B) or Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) and Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(ii) If the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property.

(iii) Items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property.

(iv) Items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions with respect to Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the property’s Book Value in accordance with Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(v) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis).

6.2 Allocations. Except as otherwise provided inSection 6.3 andSection 6.4, Net Profits and Net Losses for any Allocation Period shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

6.3 Regulatory Allocations.

(a) Losses attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during an Allocation Period in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-2(i)(3)), Profits for such Allocation Period (and, if necessary, for subsequent Allocation Periods) shall be allocated to the Members in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-2(i)(4).

(b) Nonrecourse deductions (as determined according to Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any Allocation Period shall be allocated pro rata among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise provided inSection 6.3(a), if there is a net decrease in the Minimum Gain during any Allocation Period, each Member shall be allocated Profits for such Allocation Period (and, if necessary, for subsequent Allocation Periods) in the amounts and of such character as determined according to Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-2(f). ThisSection 6.3(b) is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-2(f), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

A-137

(c) If any Member that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or Distribution described in Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Allocation Period, computed after the application ofSections 6.3(a) and6.3(b) but before the application of any other provision of thisArticle VI, then Profits for such Allocation Period shall be allocated to such Member in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. ThisSection 6.3(c) is intended to be a qualified income offset provision as described in Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(d) If the allocation of Net Loss to a Member as provided inSection 6.2 would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, there shall be allocated to such Member only that amount of Loss as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. The Net Losses that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Member shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests, subject to thisSection 6.3(d).

(e) Profits and Losses described inSection 6.1(b)(v) shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that the adjustments to the Capital Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

(f) The allocations set forth inSection 6.3(a) through and includingSection 6.3(e) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections1.704-1(b) and1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to allocate Profits and Losses of the Company or make Distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of thisArticle VI, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, income, gain, deduction and loss shall be reallocated among the Members so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations (taking into consideration any future Regulatory Allocations that are reasonably expected to be made to offset prior Regulatory Allocations) and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Profits and Losses (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profits and Losses (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) among the Members so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Member is zero. In addition, if in any Allocation Period there is a decrease in partnership minimum gain, or in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, and application of the minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth inSection 6.3(a) orSection 6.3(b) would cause a distortion in the economic arrangement among the Members, the Members may, if they do not expect that the Company will have sufficient other income to correct such distortion, request the Internal Revenue Service to waive either or both of such minimum gain chargeback requirements. If such request is granted, these Regulations shall be applied in such instance as if it did not contain such minimum gain chargeback requirement.

6.4 Final Allocations. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in these Regulations exceptSection 6.3, the Manager shall make appropriate adjustments to allocations of Profits and Losses to (or, if necessary, allocate items of gross income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company among) the Members upon the liquidation of the Company (within the meaning ofSection 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) of the Treasury Regulations), the transfer of substantially all the Units (whether by sale or exchange or merger) or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, such that, to the maximum extent possible, the Capital Accounts of the Members are proportionate to their Percentage Interests. In each case, such adjustments or allocations shall occur, to the maximum extent possible, in the Allocation Period of the event requiring such adjustments or allocations.

6.5 Tax Allocations.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in the remainder of thisSection 6.5, the income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company will be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the

A-138

Members for computing their Capital Accounts;provided, that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable Law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits will be allocated among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value (“704(c) allocations”) using the “traditional method” as described in Treasury RegulationsSection 1.704-3(b), or any other reasonable method described in Treasury RegulationsSection 1.704-3 so as to minimize to the maximum extent possible the Tax Distributions made pursuant toSection 5.1(b), as determined by the Manager.

(c) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant toSection 5.1(b), subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) (“reverse 704(c) allocations”) using the “traditional method” as described in Treasury RegulationsSection 1.704-3(b), or any other reasonable method described in Treasury RegulationsSection 1.704-3 so as to minimize to the maximum extent possible the Tax Distributions made pursuant toSection 5.1(b), as determined by the Manager.

(d) Allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members pro rata as determined by the Manager taking into account the principles of Treasury RegulationSection 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(e) Each Member’s pro rata share of the Company’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” within the meaning of Treasury RegulationSection 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be determined under any reasonable method selected by the Manager.

(f) Allocations pursuant to thisSection 6.5 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, Distributions or other Company items pursuant to any provision of these Regulations.

6.6 Combined Reporting. If Texas Law requires any Member (or an Affiliate thereof) and the Company to participate in the filing of a combined group report for Texas franchise tax purposes, such Member (or an Affiliate thereof) shall cause one of the members of the combined group other than the Company to be the reporting entity and pay the Texas franchise tax liability due in connection with such combined report. The Company’s Texas franchise tax liability shall be equal to the amount of the Texas franchise tax that the Company would have paid if it had computed its Texas franchise tax liability for the reporting period on a separate entity basis (rather than as a member of the combined group). The Company shall bear all costs related to such separate entity Texas franchise tax computation. The Members agree that the Company shall no later than five business days prior to the due date of any estimated or final Texas franchise tax report, pay such Member (or an Affiliate thereof) the Texas franchise tax determined as owed under such separate entity Texas franchise tax computation. Except as provided in thisSection 6.6 with respect to the amount of such combined group’s Texas franchise tax that the Company is required to pay any such Member (or an Affiliate thereof), such Member (or an Affiliate thereof) shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any and all Texas franchise tax of such combined group that is imposed on the Company.

6.7 Preparation of Tax Returns. The Manager shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all tax returns required to be filed by the Company. No later than five days before the due date for quarterly federal estimated income tax payments, the Company shall send to each Person who was a Member at any time during the prior quarter, an estimate of such Member’s state tax apportionment information and allocations to the

A-139

Members of taxable income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for the prior quarter, which estimate shall have been reviewed by the Company’s outside tax accountants. In addition, no later than the earlier of (i) March 15 following the end of the prior Fiscal Year, and (ii) thirty (30) Business Days after the issuance of the final financial statement report for a Fiscal Year by the Company’s auditors, or as soon as commercially practicable thereafter, the Company shall send to each Person who was a Member at any time during such Fiscal Year, a statement showing such Member’s final state tax apportionment information and allocations to the Members of taxable income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for such Fiscal Year and a completed IRS ScheduleK-1. Each Member shall notify the Company upon receipt of any notice of tax examination of the Company by federal, state or local authorities. The Manager shall have the authority to prepare the tax returns of the Company using such permissible methods and elections as it determines in its reasonable discretion, including the use of any permissible method under Section 706 of the Code for purposes of determining the varying Company Interests of its Members (provided,however, that, in respect of the acquisition of Corporation’s acquisition of Company Interests on the Effective Date pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the Company shall use the interim closing method and the calendar day convention pursuant to Treasury Regulation1.706-4).

6.8 Tax Elections. The taxable year of the Company (the“Taxable Year”) shall be the Fiscal Year set forth inSection 2.8 or such other accounting period as the Company may be required to utilize as its taxable year pursuant to the Code and the Treasury Regulations. The Company and any eligible Subsidiary shall make an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code and shall not thereafter revoke such election. Each Member will upon request supply any information reasonably necessary to give proper effect to any such elections. The Company shall not make any election to be an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including by filing any US Internal Revenue Service Form 8832 that would cause the Company to be taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

6.9 Tax Controversies.

(a) The Manager shall be the “partnership representative” (within the meaning given to such term in Section 6223 of the Code) (the “Partnership Representative”) and, as such, (i) shall be authorized to designate any other Person selected by the Manager as the partnership representative and (ii) shall be authorized and required to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend the Company’s funds for professional services and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Each Member agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Company with respect to the conduct of such proceedings.

(b) In the event of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service, the Partnership Representative shall be permitted, with the consent of the Manager, to make on a timely basis, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the election provided by Section 6226(a) of the Code to treat a “partnership adjustment” as an adjustment to be taken into account by each Member in accordance with Section 6226(b) of the Code. If the election under Section 6226(a) of the of the Code is made, the Partnership Representative shall furnish to each Member for the year under audit a statement reflecting the Member’s share of the adjusted items as determined in the notice of final partnership adjustment, and each such Member shall take such adjustment into account as required under Section 6226(b) of the Code and shall be liable for any related tax, interest, penalty, addition to tax, or additional amounts. If an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code is not made, the Partnership Representative shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the financial burden of any “imputed underpayment” (as determined under Section 6225 of the Code) to each Member, through the application of the procedures established pursuant to Section 6225(c) of the Code.

(c) In the event of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service, if the Partnership Representative does not make the election provided by Section 6226(a) of the Code as noted above, the Partnership Representative shall allocate the burden of any taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any “imputed underpayment” within the meaning of Section 6225 of the Code), penalties, interest and related expenses imposed on the Company among

A-140

the Members to whom such amounts are attributable (whether as a result of their status, actions, inactions or otherwise), as reasonably determined by the Partnership Representative, and each Member shall promptly reimburse the Company in full for the entire amount the Partnership Representative determines to be attributable to such Member;provided that the Company will also be allowed to recover any amount due from such Member pursuant to this sentence from any distribution otherwise payable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement. Solely for purposes of determining the current Member(s) to which any taxes or other amounts are attributable under this provision, references to any Member in thisSection 6.9(c) shall include a reference to each Person that previously held the Units currently held by such Member (but only to the extent of such Person’s interest in such Units).

(d) In the event of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service, the Partnership Representative shall (i) keep the Member Tax Rep reasonably informed of any administrative or judicial income tax proceeding relevant to any adjustment or proposed adjustment at the Company level of the Company items and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the Member Tax Rep prior to submitting any material written filings or submissions in connection with an income tax audit of the Company.

(e) The Partnership Representative is authorized to, and shall follow principles (to the extent available) similar to those set forth inSection 6.9(b) andSection 6.9(c) with respect to any audits by state, local, or foreign tax authorities and any tax liabilities that result therefrom.

(f) The provisions contained in thisSection 6.9 shall survive the dissolution of the Company and the withdrawal of any Member or the Transfer of any Member’s interest in the Company and shall apply to any current or former Member.

ARTICLE VII

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF UNITS

7.1 Restrictions on Transfer. No holder of Units may Transfer any interest in any Units, except Transfers (a) pursuant to and in accordance withSection 7.2 or (b) approved in writing by the Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Transfer” shall not include an event that terminates the existence of a Member for income tax purposes (including a change in entity classification of a Member under Treasury RegulationsSection 301.7701-3, a sale of assets by, or liquidation of, a Member pursuant to an election under Code Sections 336 or 338, or a merger, severance, or allocation within a trust or amongsub-trusts of a trust that is a Member), but that does not terminate the existence of such Member under applicable state law (or, in the case of a trust that is a Member, does not terminate the trusteeship of the fiduciaries under such trust with respect to all the Company Interests of such trust that is a Member);provided,however, that this sentence shall not apply for purposes of applyingSection 7.7(b)(iv),Section 7.7(b)(vi) orSection 7.7(b)(vii).

7.2 Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained inSection 7.1 shall not apply to any Transfer (each, a “Permitted Transfer”) in connection with: (a)(i) an “Exchange” pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement (as defined therein) or (ii) a Transfer by a Member to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; (b) by any Continuing Member, a Transfer by such Continuing Member to such Continuing Member’s spouse, any lineal ascendants or descendants or trusts or other entities in which such Continuing Member or Continuing Member’s spouse, lineal ascendants or descendants are the sole beneficial owners; (c) by the Manager to the extent required by the terms of the Credit Agreement; or (d) a Transfer to a partner, shareholder, member or Affiliate of such Member (which may include special purpose investment vehicles wholly owned by one or more Affiliated investment funds but shall not include portfolio companies);provided,however, that (A) the restrictions contained in these Regulations will continue to apply to Units after any Permitted Transfer of such Units, and (B) in the case of the foregoing clauses (b), (c) and (d), the Permitted Transferees of the Units so Transferred shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of these Regulations and, the transferor will deliver a written notice to the Company and the Members, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the

A-141

identity of the proposed transferee. In the case of a Permitted Transfer of any Common Units, the transferring Member shall be required to transfer an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock corresponding to the proportion of such Member’s Common Units that were transferred in the transaction to such Permitted Transferee. All Permitted Transfers are subject to the additional limitations set forth inSection 7.7(b).

7.3 Restricted Units Legend. The Units have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, in addition to the other restrictions on Transfer contained in these Regulations, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is then available. To the extent such Units have been certificated, each certificate evidencing Units and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Units (if such securities remain Units as defined herein after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (or such other form as shall be approved by the Manager):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SPECIFIED IN THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED REGULATIONS OF STRIKE CAPITAL, LLC, AS MAY BE AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME AND THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO AMONG STRIKE CAPITAL, LLC, STRIKE, INC. AND THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, AND STRIKE CAPITAL, LLC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO ANY TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY STRIKE CAPITAL, LLC TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.”

7.4 Transfer. Prior to Transferring any Units (other than pursuant to an “Exchange” pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), the Transferring holder of Units shall cause the prospective transferee to be bound by these Regulations as provided inSection 7.2 and any other agreements executed by the holders of Units and relating to such Units in the aggregate, including the Registration Rights Agreement and the Exchange Agreement if applicable (collectively, the “Other Agreements”), and shall cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company and the other holders of Units counterparts of this Regulations and any applicable Other Agreements. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units in violation of any provision of these Regulations (including any indirect Transfers) (a) shall be void, and (b) the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Units as the owner of such securities for any purpose.

7.5 Assignee’s Rights.

(a) The Transfer of a Company Interest in accordance with these Regulations shall be effective as of the date of its assignment (assuming compliance with all of the conditions to such Transfer set forth herein), and such Transfer shall be shown on the books and records of the Company. Profits and Losses and other Company items shall be allocated between the transferor and the Assignee according to Code Section 706, using any permissible method as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Manager. Distributions made before the effective date of such Transfer shall be paid to the transferor, and Distributions made after such date shall be paid to the Assignee.

(b) Unless and until an Assignee becomes a Member pursuant toSection 3.5, the Assignee shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder or under applicable Law, other than the rights granted

A-142

specifically to Assignees pursuant to these Regulations;provided,however, that, without relieving the transferring Member from any such limitations or obligations as more fully described inSection 7.6, such Assignee shall be bound by any limitations and obligations of a Member contained herein that a Member would be bound on account of the Assignee’s Company Interest (including the obligation to make Capital Contributions on account of such Company Interest).

7.6 Assignor’s Rights and Obligations. Any Member who shall Transfer any Company Interest in accordance with these Regulations shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Units or other Company Interest and shall no longer have any rights or privileges, or, except as set forth in thisSection 7.6, duties, liabilities or obligations, of a Member with respect to such Units or other Company Interest (it being understood, however, that the applicable provisions ofSections 8.8 and9.4 shall continue to inure to such Person’s benefit), except that unless and until the Assignee (if not already a Member) is admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance withSection 3.4 (the “Admission Date”), (a) such assigning Member shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of a Member with respect to such Units or other interest, and (b) the Manager may, in its sole discretion, reinstate all or any portion of the rights and privileges of such Member with respect to such Units or other interest for any period of time prior to the Admission Date. Nothing contained herein shall relieve any Member who Transfers any Units or other Company Interest from any liability of such Member to the Company with respect to such Company Interest that may exist on the Admission Date or that is otherwise specified in TBOC and incorporated into these Regulations or for any liability to the Company or any other Person for any materially false statement made by such Member (in its capacity as such) or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Member (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company.

7.7 Overriding Provisions.

(a) Any Transfer in violation of thisArticle VII shall be null and voidab initio, and the provisions ofSections 7.5 and7.6 shall not apply to any such Transfers. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person to whom a Transfer is made or attempted in violation of thisArticle VII shall not become a Member, shall not be entitled to vote on any matters coming before the Members and shall not have any other rights in or with respect to any rights of a Member of the Company. The approval of any Transfer in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the requirement for such approval in any other or future instance. The Manager shall, and is hereby authorized to, promptly amend these Regulations and the Schedule of Members attached hereto to reflect any Permitted Transfer pursuant to thisArticle VII, without the requirement of any consent or acknowledgement of any other Member.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions ofSection 3.4,Section 3.5 andSection 7.1, in no event shall any Member Transfer any Units to the extent such Transfer would:

(i) result in the violation of the Securities Act, or any other applicable federal, state or foreign Law;

(ii) cause an assignment under the Investment Company Act;

(iii) in the reasonable determination of the Manager, be a violation of or a default (or an event that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in an acceleration of any indebtedness under, any promissory note, mortgage, loan agreement, indenture or similar instrument or agreement to which the Company or the Manager is a party;provided that the payee or creditor to whom the Company or the Manager owes such obligation is not an Affiliate of the Company or the Manager;

(iv) be a Transfer to a Person who is not legally competent or who has not achieved his or her majority under applicable Law (excluding trusts for the benefit of Persons who are not legally competent or who are minors); or

A-143

(v) cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” or to be taxed as a corporation pursuant to Section 7704 of the Code or successor provision of the Code.

7.8 Spouses of Members. Spouses of the Members do not become Members as a result of such marital relationship. Each spouse of a Member, if applicable, has executed a Spouse’s Agreement in the form attached hereto asExhibit B (each a “Spouse’s Agreement”). Such Member’snon-delivery to the Company of an executed consent in the form ofExhibit B attached to these Regulations at any time shall constitute such Member’s continuing representation and warranty that such Member is not legally married as of such date.

ARTICLE VIII

Unless otherwise specified in the notice, the resignation shall take effect upon receipt thereof by the Members, and the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. For the avoidance of doubt, the Members have no right under these Regulations to remove or replace the Manager.

A-144

8.4 Vacancies. Vacancies in the position of Manager occurring for any reason shall be filled by the Corporation (or, if the Corporation has ceased to exist without any successor or assign, then by the holders of a majority in interest of the voting capital stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such cessation). For the avoidance of doubt, the Members (other than the Corporation) have no right under these Regulations to fill any vacancy in the position of Manager.

8.5 Transactions Between Company and Manager. The Manager may cause the Company to contract and deal with the Manager, or any Affiliate of the Manager, provided such contracts and dealings are on terms comparable to and competitive with those available to the Company from others dealing at arm’s length or are approved by the Members holding a majority of the Units then outstanding. The Members hereby approve each of the contracts or agreements between or among the Manager, the Company and their respective Affiliates entered into on or prior to the date hereof.

8.6 Reimbursement for Expenses. The Manager shall not be compensated for its services as Manager of the Company except as expressly provided in these Regulations. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Manager’s Class A Common Stock will be publicly traded and therefore the Manager will have access to the public capital markets and that such status and the services performed by the Manager will inure to the benefit of the Company and all Members; therefore, the Manager shall be reimbursed by the Company for any reasonableout-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company, including all fees, expenses and costs associated with being a public company (including public reporting obligations, proxy statements, stockholder meetings, stock exchange fees, transfer agent fees, SEC and FINRA filing fees and offering expenses) and maintaining its corporate existence. To the extent practicable, expenses incurred by the Manager on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company and, if and to the extent any reimbursements to the Manager or any of its Affiliates by the Company pursuant to thisSection 8.6 constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by such Person on behalf of the Company), such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.

8.7 Delegation of Authority. The Manager (a) may, from time to time, delegate to one or more Persons such authority and duties as the Manager may deem advisable, and (b) may assign titles (including chief executive officer, chief strategy officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, president, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer or assistant treasurer) and delegate certain authority and duties to such Persons as the same may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time. Any number of titles may be held by the same individual. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of such agents of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Manager, subject to the other provisions in these Regulations.

8.8 Limitation of Liability of Manager.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in an agreement entered into by such Person and the Company, neither the Manager nor any of the Manager’s Affiliates shall be liable to the Company or to any Member that is not the Manager for any act or omission performed or omitted by the Manager in its capacity as the sole manager of the Company pursuant to authority granted to the Manager by these Regulations;provided,however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, such limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent the act or omission was attributable to the Manager’s or its Affiliates’ gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of Law or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by the Manager or its Affiliates contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company. The Manager may exercise any of the powers granted to it by these Regulations and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent (so long as such agent was selected in good faith and with reasonable care). The Manager shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts, including financial advisors, and any act of or failure

A-145

to act by the Manager in good faith reliance on such advice shall in no event subject the Manager to liability to the Company or any Member that is not the Manager.

(b) Whenever these Regulations or any other agreement contemplated herein provides that the Manager shall act in a manner which is, or provides terms which are, “fair and reasonable” to the Company or any Member that is not the Manager, the Manager shall determine such appropriate action or provide such terms considering, in each case, the relative interests of each party to such agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable United States generally accepted accounting practices or principles.

(c) Whenever in these Regulations or any other agreement contemplated herein, the Manager is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “sole discretion” or “discretion,” with “complete discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Manager shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or other Members.

(d) Whenever in these Regulations the Manager is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Manager shall act under such express standard and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by these Regulations or any other agreement contemplated herein, and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as the Manager acts in good faith, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Manager shall not constitute a breach of these Regulations or any other agreement contemplated herein or impose liability upon the Manager or any of the Manager’s Affiliates.

8.9 Investment Company Act. The Manager shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Company shall not be subject to registration as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act.

8.10 Outside Activities of the Manager. The Manager shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business or operations, other than in connection with (a) the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Common Units, (b) the management of the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (c) the operation of the Manager as a reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and listed on a securities exchange, (d) the offering, sale, syndication, private placement or public offering of stock, bonds, securities or other interests, (e) financing or refinancing of any type related to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their assets or activities, and (f) such activities as are incidental to the foregoing;provided,however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, the net proceeds of any financing raised by the Manager pursuant to the preceding clauses (d) and (e) shall be made available to the Company, whether as Capital Contributions, loans or otherwise, as appropriate, and,provided further, that the Manager may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time hold or acquire assets in its own name or otherwise other than through the Company and its Subsidiaries so long as the Manager takes commercially reasonable measures to ensure that the economic benefits and burdens of such assets are otherwise vested in the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries, through assignment, mortgage loan or otherwise or, if it is not commercially reasonable to vest such economic interests in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Members shall negotiate in good faith to amend these Regulations to reflect such activities and the direct ownership of assets by the Manager. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Manager from executing any guarantee of indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

8.11 Management of Strike, LLC and its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, the Manager shall, on behalf of the Company as the sole managing member of Strike, LLC and its Subsidiaries, have the full power and authority to do, and to direct or delegate to the Officers to do, all things and on such terms as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of Strike, LLC and its Subsidiaries, in the same manner as with respect to the Company.

ARTICLE IX

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS

9.1 Limitation of Liability and Duties of Members.

(a) Except as specifically provided in these Regulations or in TBOC, no Member (including the Manager) shall be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability solely by reason of being a Member or acting as the Manager of the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under these Regulations or TBOC shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for liabilities of the Company.

(b) In accordance with TBOC and the Laws of the State of Texas, a Member may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Member. It is the intent of the Members that no Distribution to any Member pursuant toArticle V orArticle X shall be deemed to be a return of money or other property paid or a distribution distributed in violation of TBOC. The making of any such Distribution to a Member shall be deemed to be approved upon by unanimous consent of the Members, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any Member receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return any such money or property to the Company or any other Person. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of these Regulations, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of these Regulations (subject toSection 8.8 with respect to the Manager), to the extent that, at law or in equity, any Member (or such Member’s Affiliate or any manager, managing member, general partner, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of such Member or of any Affiliate of such Member (each Person described in this parenthetical, a “Related Person”)) has duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, to the Manager, to another Member, to any Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest or to any other Person bound by these Regulations, all such duties (including fiduciary duties) are hereby eliminated, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and replaced with the duties or standards expressly set forth herein, if any;provided,further, the Members and the Company hereby waive any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be established or implied by TBOC or any applicable Law by the Manager to the Members and the Company, and in doing so, acknowledge and agree that the duties and obligations of the Manager to the Members and the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The elimination of duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, the Manager, each of the Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest and each other Person bound by these Regulations and replacement thereof with the duties or standards expressly set forth herein, if any, are approved by the Company, the Manager, each of the Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest and each other Person bound by these Regulations.

(d) Notwithstanding any duty (including any fiduciary duty) otherwise applicable at law or in equity, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, will not apply to any Member (including the Corporation in its capacity as a Member or as Manager) or to any Related Person of such Member, and no Member (or any Related Person of such Member) that acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Company or the Members will have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Company or the Members, or to develop any particular investment, and such Person will not be liable to the Company or the Members for breach of any fiduciary or other duty (other than any fiduciary owed by such Person to the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such Person pursues or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to, another Person or does not communicate such investment opportunity to the Members. Notwithstanding any duty (including any fiduciary duty (other than any fiduciary duty owed to the Corporation)) otherwise applicable at law or in equity, neither the Company nor any Member has any rights or obligations by virtue of these Regulations or the relationship created hereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such ventures

A-147

outside the Company, even if competitive with the activities of the Company or the Members, will not be deemed wrongful or improper.

9.2 Lack of Authority. No Member, other than the Manager or a duly appointed Officer, in each case in its capacity as such, has the authority or power to act for or on behalf of the Company, to do any act that would be binding on the Company or to make any expenditure on behalf of the Company. The Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Manager of the powers conferred on them by Law and these Regulations.

9.3 No Right of Partition. No Member, other than the Manager, shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of Law of any Company property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company.

9.4 Indemnification.

(a) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) to the fullest extent permitted under TBOC, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Company is providing immediately prior to such amendment), against all loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment, actions, other expenses whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties) (the “Liabilities”) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Member or is or was serving as the Manager, Partnership Representative, Officer, employee or other agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, partnership representative, officer, director, principal, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise;provided,however, that no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified for any Liabilities suffered that are attributable to such Indemnified Person’s or its Affiliates’ gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of Law or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Indemnified Person or its Affiliates contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such Indemnified Person in defending a proceeding, shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

(b) The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in thisSection 9.4 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, bylaw, action by the Manager or otherwise.

(c) The Company shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, or substantially equivalent insurance, at its expense, to protect any Indemnified Person (and the investment funds, if any, they represent) against any expense, liability or loss described inSection 9.4(a) whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Indemnified Person against such Liabilities under the provisions of thisSection 9.4. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase and maintain property, casualty and liability insurance in types and at levels customary for companies of similar size engaged in similar lines of business, as determined in good faith by the Manager, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (including employment practices coverage) with a carrier and in an amount determined necessary or desirable as determined in good faith by the Manager.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including in thisSection 9.4), (i) any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in thisSection 9.4 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing or is found in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal liability on account thereof) shall have

A-148

personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the Company and (ii) the Company agrees that any indemnification and advancement of expenses available to any current or former Indemnified Person from any investment fund that is an Affiliate of the Company who served as a director or manager of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or as a Member of the Company by virtue of such Person’s service as a member, director, partner or employee of any such investment fund prior to or following the Effective Time (any such Person, a “Sponsor Person”) shall be secondary to the indemnification and advancement of expenses to be provided by the Company pursuant to thisSection 9.4 and the Company (A) shall be the primary indemnitor of first resort for such Sponsor Person pursuant to thisSection 9.4 and (B) shall be fully responsible for the advancement of all expenses and the payment of all damages or liabilities with respect to such Sponsor Person which are addressed by thisSection 9.4.

(e) If thisSection 9.4 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person pursuant to thisSection 9.4 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of thisSection 9.4 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

9.5 Inspection Rights. Subject toSection 12.3, the Company shall permit each Member and each of its designated representatives to examine the books and records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at the principal office of the Company or such other location as the Manager shall reasonably approve during reasonable business hours, and make copies and extracts therefrom, for any purpose reasonably related to such Member’s Company Interest.

ARTICLE X

DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

10.1 Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substituted Members or the attempted withdrawal or resignation of a Member. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon:

(a) the decision of the Manager and the consent of the Members holding a majority of the outstanding Units to dissolve the Company;

(b) such time that there are no Members of the Company other than the Corporation, unless the Company is continued in accordance with TBOC; or

Except as otherwise set forth in thisArticle X, the Company is intended to have perpetual existence. An Event of Withdrawal shall not cause a dissolution of the Company and the Company shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of these Regulations.

10.2 Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more Persons as liquidator. The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in TBOC. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidators shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Manager. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:

(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidators shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

A-149

(b) the liquidators shall cause the notice described in TBOC to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Company in the manner described thereunder;

(c) the liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine) the following: first, all expenses incurred in liquidation; second, all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company owed to creditors other than the Members and third, all of the debt, liabilities and obligations of the Company owed to Members (other than any payments or distributions owed to such Members in their capacity as Members pursuant to these Regulations); and

(d) all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in accordance withArticle V by the end of the Taxable Year during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, by 90 days after the date of the liquidation). The distribution of cash or property to the Members in accordance with the provisions of thisSection 10.2 andSection 10.3 below constitutes a complete return to the Members of their Capital Contributions, a complete distribution to the Members of their interest in the Company and all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning of TBOC. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for those funds.

10.3 Deferment; Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions ofSection 10.2, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if upon dissolution of the Company the liquidators determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss (or would otherwise not be beneficial) to the Members, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities (other than loans to the Company by Members) and reserves. Subject to the order of priorities set forth inSection 9.2, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, either (a) all or any portion of such remaining Company assetsin-kind in accordance with the provisions ofSection 10.2(d), (b) as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions ofSection 10.2(d), undivided interests in all or any portion of such Company assets or (c) a combination of the foregoing. Any such Distributions in kind shall be subject to (i) such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such assets as the liquidators deem reasonable and equitable and (ii) the terms and conditions of any agreements governing such assets (or the operation thereof or the holders thereof) at such time. Any Company assets distributed in kind will first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value, thus creating Profit and Loss (if any), which shall be allocated in accordance withArticle VI. The liquidators shall determine the Fair Market Value of any property distributed in accordance with the valuation procedures set forth inArticle XI.

10.4 Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Company is terminated (and the Company shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the Manager (or such other Person or Persons as TBOC may require or permit) shall file a certificate of termination with the Secretary of State of Texas, cancel any other filings made pursuant to these Regulations that are or should be canceled and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company. The Company shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of these Regulations until it is terminated pursuant to thisSection 10.4.

10.5 Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant toSections 10.2 and10.3 in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

A-150

ARTICLE XI

VALUATION

11.1 Determination. “Fair Market Value” of a specific Company asset will mean the amount which the Company would receive in anall-cash sale of such asset in an arms-length transaction with a willing unaffiliated third party, with neither party having any compulsion to buy or sell, consummated on the day immediately preceding the date on which the event occurred which necessitated the determination of the Fair Market Value (and after giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale), as such amount is determined by the Manager (or, if pursuant toSection 10.2, the liquidators) in its good faith judgment using all factors, information and data it deems to be pertinent.

11.2 Dispute Resolution. If any Member or Members dispute the accuracy of any determination of Fair Market Value in accordance withSection 11.1, and the Manager and such Member(s) are unable to agree on the determination of the Fair Market Value of any asset of the Company, the Manager and such Member(s) shall each select a nationally recognized investment banking firm experienced in valuing securities of closely-held companies such as the Company in the Company’s industry (the “Appraisers”), who shall each determine, or cause to be determined, the Fair Market Value of the asset or the Company (as applicable) in accordance with the provisions ofSection 11.1. The Appraisers shall be instructed to give written notice of their determination of the Fair Market Value of the asset or the Company (as applicable) within 30 days of their appointment as Appraisers. If Fair Market Value as determined by an Appraiser is higher than Fair Market Value as determined by the other Appraiser by 10% or more, and the Manager and such Member(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value, the original Appraisers shall designate a third Appraiser meeting the same criteria used to select the original two and the Fair Market Value determined by such third Appraiser shall be final and binding. If Fair Market Value as determined by an Appraiser is within 10% of the Fair Market Value as determined by the other Appraiser (but not identical), and the Manager and such Member(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value, the Manager shall select the Fair Market Value of one of the Appraisers. The fees and expenses of the Appraisers shall be borne by the Company.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Unitholder shall be entitled one time per calendar quarter to effect an Exchange. In the event an Unitholder wishes to effect an Exchange, such Unitholder shall (i) deliver to Holdings an Exchange Notice and (ii) on the Date of Exchange surrender or, in the absence of such surrender, be deemed to have surrendered, Company Units (and surrender for cancellation one or more stock certificates (if certificated) or instructions and stock powers (if uncertificated)) representing a corresponding number of shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock) (in each case, free and clear of all Liens), in each case, to Holdings’ address set forth inSection 5.4. In consideration for such surrender, the exchanging Unitholder shall be entitled to, at the sole option of Holdings, either (A) a Cash Exchange Payment by Holdings in accordance with the instructions provided in the Exchange Notice, in which event such exchanged Company Units and such shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock automatically shall be deemed cancelled concomitant with such payment, without any action on the part of any Person, including such Unitholder, the Company or Holdings, or (B) the issuance by Holdings to such Unitholder of a number of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock equal to (I) the number of Company Units exchangedmultiplied by (II) the Exchange Rate as of the relevant Date of Exchange, and concomitantly with any such issuance, such exchanged Company Units and shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock automatically shall be deemed cancelled, without any action on the part of any Person, including the Company and Holdings.

An Exchange pursuant to thisSection 2.1 of Company Units, and the cancellation of Company Units and shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock, for shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock will be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Date of Exchange whether or not the applicable Cash Exchange Payment or shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock have been delivered to the exchanging Unitholder at such time, and if Holdings does not elect a Cash Exchange Payment, the Unitholder will be treated as a holder of record of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on such Date of Exchange.

A-165

require each Unitholder to Exchange some or all of the outstanding Company Units beneficially owned by such Unitholder (and a corresponding number of shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock) (in each case, free and clear of all Liens), in consideration for the issuance by Holdings to such Unitholder of a number of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Company Units surrenderedmultiplied by the Exchange Rate (a “Change of Control Exchange”), with such Change of Control Exchange to be effected by the surrender of such Company Units to Holdings (and surrender for cancellation one or more stock certificates (if certificated) or instructions and stock powers (if uncertificated)) and the subsequent automatic conversion of such exchanged Company Units into an equal number of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock (whereupon, the Company Units so converted shall cease to exist and concomitantly with any such issuance, any exchanged shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock automatically shall be deemed cancelled without any action on the part of any Person, including the Company or Holdings);provided, that if the Company requires the Unitholders to Exchange less than all of their outstanding Company Units (and to surrender a corresponding number of shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock for cancellation), each Unitholder’s participation in the Change of Control Exchange shall be reducedpro rata.Any Change of Control Exchange shall be effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be effective if such Change of Control is not consummated) (the “Change of Control Exchange Time”) and each Unitholder will be treated as a holder of record of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock as of the Change of Control Exchange Time. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any Company Units and a corresponding number of shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock held by an Unitholder that are not Exchanged or cancelled, as applicable, pursuant to a Change of Control Exchange may be Exchanged by such Unitholder pursuant toSection 2.1(a) subject to, and in accordance with, the terms thereof and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Holdings shall not be entitled to make a Cash Exchange Payment in the case of a Change of Control Exchange.

(d) To effect the delivery of such shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock, Holdings shall: (i) deliver or cause to be delivered at the offices of the then-acting registrar and transfer agent of Holdings Class A Common Stock (or, if there is no then-acting registrar and transfer agent of Holdings Class A Common Stock, at the principal executive offices of Holdings) such number of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock, registered in the name of the relevant Unitholder (or in such other name as is requested in writing by such Unitholder), in certificated or uncertificated form, as determined by Holdings, or (ii) if shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock are settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, upon the written instruction of such Unitholder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such Unitholder.

(e) Holdings shall provide written notice of an expected Change of Control to all Unitholders within the earlier of (i) five days following the execution of the agreement with respect to such Change of Control and (ii) ten days before the proposed date upon which the contemplated Change of Control is to be effected, indicating in such notice such information as may reasonably describe the Change of Control transaction, subject to applicable Law, including the date of execution of such agreement or such proposed effective date, as applicable, the amount and types of consideration to be paid for Company Units or shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock, as applicable, in the Change of Control (which consideration shall be identical whether paid for Company Units or shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock), any election with respect to types of consideration that a holder of Company Units or shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock, as applicable, shall be entitled to make in connection with the Change of Control, the percentage of total Company Units or shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock, as applicable, to be transferred to the acquirer by all stockholders of Holdings in the Change of Control, and the number of Company Units held by each Unitholder that Holdings intends to require be Exchanged for shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock in connection with the Change of Control. Holdings shall update such notice from time to time to reflect any material changes to such notice. Holdings may satisfy any such notice and update requirements described in the preceding two sentences by providing such information on Form8-K, Schedule TO, Schedule14D-9 or similar form filed with the SEC.

A-166

(f) Immediately upon the Exchange of any Company Unit pursuant to thisSection 2.1, an equal number of outstanding shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the exchanging Unitholder automatically shall be deemed cancelled without any action on the part of any Person, including such Unitholder, the Company or Holdings. Any such cancelled shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such shares shall automatically cease and terminate.

(g) The Company, Holdings and each Unitholder shall bear its own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated, except that Holdings shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange;provided,however, that if any shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than that of the Unitholder that requested the Exchange (or The Depository Trust Company or its nominee for the account of a participant of The Depository Trust Company that will hold the shares for the account of such Unitholder), then such Unitholder or the Person in whose name such shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock are to be delivered shall pay to the Company the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Holdings that such tax has been paid or is not payable. For the avoidance of doubt, each exchanging Unitholder shall bear any and all income or gains taxes imposed on gain realized by such exchanging Unitholder as a result of any such Exchange.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Manager of the Company, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and tax advisor, shall determine in good faith that interests in the Company do not meet the requirements of Treasury RegulationSection 1.7704-1(h) (or other provisions of those Treasury Regulations), the Company may impose such restrictions on Exchanges as the Company may reasonably determine to be necessary or advisable so that the Company is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code.

(i) Upon receiving an Exchange Notice from a Unitholder, Holdings may elect to cause the Company to effect the Exchange underSection 2.1 and deliver to the Unitholder the applicable number of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock or the Cash Exchange Payment that such Unitholder is entitled to receive in the Exchange, in which event the Unitholder shall deliver to the Company the Common Units being surrendered in the Exchange.

2.2Class A Common Shares to be Issued.

(a) In connection with any Exchange, Holdings reserves the right to provide Holdings Class A Common Stock that are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock or any combination thereof, as it may determine in its sole discretion, it being understood that to the extent an Unitholder is a party to the Registration Rights Agreement, any unregistered shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock issued to such Unitholder shall be entitled to the registration rights as set forth therein.

(b) Holdings shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuances upon any Exchange, such number of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the Exchange of all Company Units that may be outstanding from time to time. Holdings shall take any and all actions necessary or desirable to give effect to the foregoing.

(c) Prior to the Date of Exchange effected pursuant to this Agreement, Holdings shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to qualify for exemption under Rule16b-3(d) or (e), as applicable, under the Exchange Act, and to be exempt for purposes of Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, any acquisitions from, or dispositions to, Holdings of equity securities of Holdings (including derivative securities with respect thereto) and any securities that may be deemed to be equity securities or derivative securities of Holdings for such purposes that result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by each

A-167

officer or director of Holdings, including any director by deputization. The authorizing resolutions shall be approved by either the board of directors of Holdings or a committee thereof composed solely of two or moreNon-Employee Directors (as defined in Rule16b-3) of Holdings (with the authorizing resolutions specifying the name of each such director whose acquisition or disposition of securities is to be exempted and the number of securities that may be acquired and disposed of by each such Person pursuant to this Agreement).

(d) Any shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock to be issued by Holdings in accordance with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid andnon-assessable.

2.3Capital Stock of Holdings and the Company.

(a) Holdings shall, and shall cause the Company to, take all actions necessary so that, at all times for as long as this Agreement is in effect: (i) the number of Company Units outstanding equals the number of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock outstanding; and (ii) one Company Unit is exchangeable for one share of Holdings Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Upon the issuance by Holdings of any shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock other than pursuant to an Exchange (including any issuance in connection with a business acquisition by Holdings or its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, an equity incentive program or upon the conversion, exercise (including cashless exercise) or exchange of any security or other instrument convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock), Holdings shall contribute the proceeds of such issuance (net of any selling or underwriting discounts or commissions or other expenses) to the Company in exchange for a number of newly issued Company Units equal to the number of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock issued.

(c) At any time that the Company issues a Company Unit to anyone other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, Holdings shall issue a share of Holdings Class B Common Stock to the recipient of such Company Unit. Upon the conversion or cancellation of any Company Unit pursuant to this Agreement or the Company A&R Regulations, a corresponding number of shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock shall automatically be cancelled without any action on the part of any Person, including such Unitholder, the Company or Holdings. Holdings may only issue shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock to the Unitholders and their respective Permitted Transferees. A Unitholder may only transfer Company Units to a Person if (i) such Person is a Permitted Transferee of such Unitholder and (ii) an equal number of shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock are simultaneously transferred to the Permitted Transferee.

(d) If Holdings redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires any shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock for cash (including a redemption, repurchase or acquisition of restricted shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock for nominal or no value), the Company shall, coincident with such redemption, repurchase or acquisition, redeem, repurchase or acquire an identical number of Company Units held by Holdings upon the same terms, including the same price, as the terms of the redemption, repurchase or acquisition of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock.

(e) Holdings shall not in any manner effect any Subdivision or Combination of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock unless the Company simultaneously effects a Subdivision or Combination, as the case may be, of Company Units with an identical ratio as the Subdivision or Combination of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock. The Company shall not in any manner effect any Subdivision or Combination of Company Units unless Holdings simultaneously effects a Subdivision or Combination, as the case may be, of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock and shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock with an identical ratio as the Subdivision or Combination of Company Units.

(f) Holdings shall not issue, and shall not agree to issue (including pursuant to any security or other instrument convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for) any class of equity securities other than shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock and shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock or one or more series of preferred stock that Holdings may determine to issue from time to time in accordance with, and

A-168

subject to the limitations contained in, the Holdings Charter and thisSection 2.3(f). Holdings shall not issue any shares of preferred stock unless (i) the Company issues or agrees to issue, as the case may be, to Holdings a number of units, with designations, preferences and other rights and terms that are substantially the same as such shares of preferred stock, equal to the number of such shares of preferred stock issued by Holdings, and (ii) Holdings transfers to the Company the proceeds (net of any selling or underwriting discounts or commissions and other expenses) of the issuance of such preferred stock (and agrees to transfer to the Company any amounts paid by the holders of securities or instruments exercisable or exchangeable therefor upon their exercise or exchange, if applicable, net of expenses).

(g) For as long as this Agreement is in effect: (i) the Company shall not, and Holdings shall cause the Company not to, at any time, issue Company Units except as required by this Agreement; (ii) the Company shall not, and Holdings shall cause the Company not to, at any time, issue Company Units to any Person other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the Unitholders and their respective Permitted Transferees; and (iii) Holdings shall not transfer any Company Units except in connection with a Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Holdings from pledging any Company Units held by Holdings in connection with a credit facility that is for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(h) If Holdings makes a dividend or other distribution of Holdings stock on its shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock, the Company shall make a dividend or other distribution to the holders of Company Units of an equivalent number of Company Units with designations, preferences and other rights and terms that are substantially the same as such distributed stock.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, no Exchange will impair the right of an exchanging Unitholder to receive any distribution for periods ending on or prior to the Date of Exchange for such Exchange (but for which payment had not yet been made with respect to the Company Units in question at the time the Exchange is consummated).

2.4Adjustments. Without limiting anything set forth inSection 2.3:

(a) In the event there is any (i) Subdivision or Combination of the shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock or Company Units that is not accompanied by an equivalent Subdivision or Combination of the Holdings Class A Common Stock; (ii) Subdivision or Combination of the Holdings Class A Common Stock that is not accompanied by an equivalent Subdivision or Combination of the shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock and Company Units, or (iii) dividend or distribution of cash or other property made by Holdings on shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock that is not funded by a matching pro rata dividend or distribution of cash or other property made by the Company on the Company Units, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted accordingly.

(b) If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Holdings Class A Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, then upon any subsequent Exchange, an exchanging Unitholder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such exchanging Unitholder would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any Subdivision or Combination of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Holdings Class A Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, thisSection 2.4(b) shall continue to be applicable,mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property.

(c) This Agreement shall apply to,mutatis mutandis, and all references to “Company Units” or “Holdings Class B Common Stock” shall be deemed to include, any security, securities or other property of the Company or Holdings which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution of Company

A-169

Units or shares of Holdings Class B Common Stock, as applicable, by reason of any distribution or dividend, split, reverse split, combination, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, exchange (other than an Exchange) or other transaction.

2.5Withholding; Certification ofNon-Foreign Status.

(a) If Holdings shall be required to withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local or foreign tax rules or regulations in respect of any Exchange, Holdings shall be entitled to take such action as it deems appropriate, in its reasonable discretion, in order to ensure compliance with such withholding requirements, including, at its option, withholding shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock with a fair market value equal to the minimum amount of any taxes that Holdings may be required to withhold with respect to such Exchange;provided that, in the event that Holdings so determines that withholding is required with respect to an Exchange, Holdings shall notify the Sellers Representative as soon as reasonably practicable of its intent to withhold and Holdings shall consider in good faith any forms, statements, documentation or other information submitted by, and otherwise cooperate on a reasonable basis with, the Sellers Representative to reduce or eliminate the proposed withholding. To the extent that amounts are (or property is) so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts (or property) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid (or delivered) to the applicable Unitholder and, as soon as reasonably practicable after any such withholding, Holdings shall deliver to the Sellers Representative the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the applicable taxing authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment and, upon request of the Sellers Representative or applicable Unitholder, other evidence of such payment and Holdings shall cooperate on a reasonable basis with the Sellers Representative or applicable Unitholders to claim and obtain a refund for any such Taxes withheld.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Holdings may, in its reasonable discretion, require that an exchanging Unitholder deliver to Holdings a certification ofnon-foreign status in accordance with Sections 1445 and 1446(f)(2) of the Code and Treasury RegulationSection 1.1445-2(b) prior to an Exchange. In the event Holdings has required delivery of such certification but an exchanging Unitholder does not provide such certification, Holdings shall nevertheless deliver or cause to be delivered to the exchanging Unitholder the Holdings Class A Common Stock or the Cash Exchange Payment in accordance withSection 2.1, but subject to withholding as provided inSection 2.5(a).

5.14Enforcement of Agreement. Each Party’s obligation under this Agreement is unique. The Parties acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law if any Party fails to perform in any material respect any of its obligations hereunder and accordingly agree that each Party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek an injunction or similar equitable relief restraining such Party from committing or continuing any such breach or threatened breach or to seek to compel specific performance of the obligations of any other Party under this Agreement, without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the Parties shall raise the defense that there is

5.15Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, then this Agreement will be construed as drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

2.1Tax Benefit Schedule.

(a)Tax Benefit Schedule. Within 90 calendar days after the due date (taking into account valid extensions) of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporate Taxpayer (or its wholly owned Subsidiaries, as applicable) for any Taxable Year in which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment (collectively, a “Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment”), the Corporate Taxpayer shall provide to the Holders Representative a schedule showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment in respect of each Holder for such Taxable Year and any Tax Benefit Payment in respect of the Holders (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). The Tax Benefit Schedules provided by the Corporate Taxpayer will become final as provided inSection 2.2(a) and shall be amended as provided inSection 2.2(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Corporate Taxpayer shall cause the Company to ensure that an election under Section 754 of the Code is in effect for each Taxable Year of the Company (until the Company becomes an entity that is disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

(b)Applicable Principles. Subject toSection 3.3(a), the Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment for each Taxable Year is intended to measure the decrease or increase in the actual liability for Taxes of the Corporate Taxpayer and its wholly owned Subsidiaries (and the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable and without duplication) for such Taxable Year (or portion thereof) attributable to the Basis Adjustments and the Imputed Interest, determined using a “with and without” methodology. For the avoidance of doubt, the actual liability for Taxes of the Corporate Taxpayer and its wholly owned Subsidiaries (and the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable and without duplication) will take into account any deduction of Imputed Interest. Carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax item attributable to the Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state and local Tax Law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type.

2.2Procedure; Amendments.

(a)Procedure. Every time the Corporate Taxpayer delivers to the Holders Representative an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to

A-197

Section 2.2(b), including any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporate Taxpayer shall also allow the Holders Representative reasonable access at no cost to the appropriate representatives, as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer, at the Corporate Taxpayer and the Advisory Firm that prepared the relevant Corporate Taxpayer Returns in connection with a review of such Schedule. Without limiting the application of the preceding sentence, the Corporate Taxpayer shall, upon request, deliver to the Holders Representative work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the computation of such Tax Benefit Schedule. An applicable Tax Benefit Schedule or amendment thereto shall, subject to the final sentence of thisSection 2.2(a), become final and binding on the Holders Representative and each Holder and its Affiliates 30 calendar days from the first date on which the Corporate Taxpayer sent the Holders Representative the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless (i) the Holders Representative within 30 calendar days after the date the Corporate Taxpayer sent such Schedule or amendment thereto provides the Corporate Taxpayer with written notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith and setting forth in reasonable detail the Holders Representative’s material objection along with a letter from an Advisory Firm supporting such objection, if such objection relates to the application of Tax Law (an “Objection Notice”) or (ii) the Holders Representative provides a written waiver of the right to provide any Objection Notice with respect to such Schedule or amendment thereto within the period described inclause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the Holders Representative are unable to resolve the issues raised in any Objection Notice within 30 calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of such Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the Holders Representative shall employ the reconciliation procedures described inSection 7.9 (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).

(b)Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year shall be amended from time to time by the Corporate Taxpayer (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct inaccuracies in the Schedule identified after the date the Schedule was provided to the Holders Representative, (iii) to comply with an Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures applicable to this Agreement, (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment in respect of a Holder for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other tax item to such Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment in respect of a Holder for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year, or (vi) to take into account payments made pursuant to this Agreement (any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”).

2.3Consistency with Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all calculations and determinations hereunder, including Basis Adjustments, the Schedules, and the determination of the Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment, shall be made in accordance with any elections, methodologies or positions taken on the relevant Corporate Taxpayer Returns.

ARTICLE III

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

3.1Payments.

(a)Payments. Except as provided inSections 3.6 and5.3, and subject toSection 3.3, within five Business Days after all the Tax Benefit Schedules with respect to the Taxable Year delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement become final in accordance withArticle II, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay or cause to be paid to each Holder for such Taxable Year such Holder’s Tax Benefit Payment (if any) determined pursuant toSection 3.1(b). Each such payment shall be made, at the sole discretion of the Corporate Taxpayer, by wire or Automated Clearing House transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by the Holders Representative to the Corporate Taxpayer or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and the Holders Representative.

A-198

(b) A “Tax Benefit Payment” in respect of a Holder for a Taxable Year means an aggregate amount, not less than zero, which the Corporate Taxpayer is required to pay or cause to be paid pursuant toSection 3.1, equal to the sum of the Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount in respect of such Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, for Tax purposes, the Interest Amount shall not be treated as interest for U.S. federal and applicable state and local Tax purposes but instead shall be treated as additional consideration for the acquisition of Company Units in Exchanges, unless otherwise required by Law, as reasonably determined by the Corporate Taxpayer. The “Net Tax Benefit” in respect of such Holder for a Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit in respect of such Holder as of the end of such Taxable Year (or portion thereof) over (ii) the total amount of payments previously made under thisSection 3.1 in respect of such Holder (excluding payments of Interest Amounts).

(c) The “Interest Amount” in respect of such Holder for a Taxable Year (or portion thereof) shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit in respect of such Holder with respect to such Taxable Year (or portion thereof) calculated at the Agreed Rate compounded annually from the due date (without extensions) for filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporate Taxpayer for such Taxable Year until the Payment Date. The Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount shall be determined separately with respect to each separate Exchange on an individual basis by reference to the resulting Basis Adjustment to the Corporate Taxpayer.

3.2Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in a duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. It is also intended that the provisions of this Agreement, subject toArticle IV andSection 7.13, will result in 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit (but calculated by taking into account all Exchanges by all Holders as of any time) as of any determination date being paid to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to ensure such intentions are realized. For the avoidance of doubt, interest shall not accrue under more than one provision of this Agreement for any specific period of time.

3.3Pro Rata Payments; Coordination of Benefits.

(a) Notwithstanding anything inSection 3.1 to the contrary, to the extent that the aggregate tax benefit of the Corporate Taxpayer’s, and/or its wholly owned Subsidiaries’, as applicable, deductions within Net Tax Benefit (including the Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest under this Agreement) is limited in a particular Taxable Year because the Corporate Taxpayer and/or its wholly owned Subsidiaries, as applicable, does or do not have sufficient taxable income or other limitations to utilize the tax benefits within Net Tax Benefit (including the Basis Adjustments or Imputed Interest), the Net Tax Benefit shall be allocated among all Holders eligible for payments hereunder in proportion to the respective amounts of Net Tax Benefit that would have been allocated to each such party if the Corporate Taxpayer and, as applicable, its wholly owned Subsidiaries, had sufficient taxable income so that there were no such limitation (or such other limitations did not apply).

(b) After taking into accountSection 3.3(a), if the Corporate Taxpayer defers a Tax Benefit Payment in respect of a particular Taxable Year pursuant toSection 5.3, then the Parties agree that no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any Taxable Year until all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of prior Taxable Years have been made in full. If, as a result of the deferral described in the foregoing sentence, the Tax Benefit Payments are to be partially but not fully satisfied with respect to a Taxable Year, such Tax Benefit Payments shall be made in the same proportion as the Tax Benefit Payments that would have been paid to the Holders if the Corporate Taxpayer were to satisfy its obligation in full.

3.4No Return of Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Holders shall not be required to return any previously made TRA Payment or any other payment hereunder.

3.5Stock and Stockholders of the Corporate Taxpayer. TRA Payments and any other payments hereunder are not conditioned on the Holders holding any stock of the Corporate Taxpayer (or any successor thereto).

A-199

3.6Interest Amount Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable Agreed Rate or Default Rate shall exceed the maximum lawful interest rate that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved in accordance with applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”), the Agreed Rate and Default Rate (as applicable) shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided, that any amounts unpaid as a result of such limitation (other than with respect to an Early Termination Payment) shall be paid (together with interest calculated at the Agreed Rate or the Default Rate (as applicable) with respect to the period such amounts remained unpaid) on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

3.7Day Count Convention. All computations using the Agreed Rate, Default Rate or Termination Rate shall use the “Actual/360” day count convention.

ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION

4.1Early Termination and Breach of Agreement.

(a) The Corporate Taxpayer may, with the prior written consent of a majority of the disinterested members of the Board, terminate this Agreement with respect to all amounts payable to all of the Holders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any transferee pursuant toSection 7.5(a)) at any time by paying or causing to be paid to such Holders an Early Termination Payment;provided,however, that this Agreement shall terminate with respect to any such Holder only upon the payment of such Early Termination Payment to such Holder;provided,further, that the Corporate Taxpayer may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under thisSection 4.1(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of an Early Termination Payment to a Holder, the Corporate Taxpayer shall not have any further payment obligations in respect of such Holder under this Agreement, other than for any Tax Benefit Payment (i) agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and such Holder as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Date, (ii) that is the subject of an Objection Notice, which will be payable in accordance with resolution of the issues identified in such Objection Notice pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the Early Termination Date (except to the extent that the amounts described inclauses (i),(ii) and(iii) above are included in the calculation of the Early Termination Payment). If an Exchange occurs with respect to Company Units with respect to which the Corporate Taxpayer has previously paid or cause to be paid to the applicable Holder an Early Termination Payment, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange.

(b) In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer materially breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of Law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated, and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach to each Holder and shall include (i) each Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach (and the Corporate Taxpayer shall provide each Holder with an Early Termination Schedule, which shall become final in accordance with the procedures set forth inSection 4.2), (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and any Holder as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of such breach, (iii) any Tax Benefit Payment that is the subject of an Objection Notice, which will be payable in accordance with resolution of the issues identified in such Objection Notice pursuant to this Agreement, and (iv) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of such breach, as applicable (except to the extent that the amounts described inclauses (ii),(iii) and(iv) above are included in the calculation of the amount described inclause (i) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporate Taxpayer materially breaches this Agreement, each Holder shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth inclauses (i),(ii),(iii) and(iv) above or to seek specific

A-200

performance of the terms hereof. The Parties agree that it will not be considered to be a material breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within 30 calendar days of the date such payment is due (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into accountSections 3.6,5.2 and5.3).

4.2Early Termination Notice. If the Corporate Taxpayer chooses to exercise its right of early termination underSection 4.1, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to the Holders Representative notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporate Taxpayer’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment for each Holder. The Early Termination Schedule will become final and binding with respect to the Holders Representative and each Holder and its Affiliates 30 calendar days from the first date on which the Corporate Taxpayer sent the Holders Representative such Early Termination Schedule unless (a) the Holders Representative within 30 calendar days after the date the Corporate Taxpayer sent such Schedule or amendment thereto provides the Corporate Taxpayer with an Objection Notice with respect to such Early Termination Schedule or (b) the Holders Representative provides a written waiver of the right to provide any Objection Notice with respect to such Schedule or amendment thereto within the period described inclause (a) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the Holders Representative, for any reason, are unable to resolve the issues raised in such Objection Notice within 30 calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of the Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the Holders Representative shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures. The date on which every Early Termination Schedule under this Agreement becomes final with respect to all Holders in accordance with thisSection 4.2 shall be the “Early Termination Effective Date”.

4.3Payment upon Early Termination.

(a) Within five Business Days after the Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay or cause to be paid to each Holder an amount equal to its Early Termination Payment. Such payment shall be made, at the sole discretion of the Corporate Taxpayer, by wire or Automated Clearing House transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the Holder or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and the Holder.

(b) An “Early Termination Payment” in respect of a Holder shall equal the net present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the Early Termination Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Corporate Taxpayer to such Holder underSection 3.1(a) beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied.

ARTICLE V

5.2Late Payments by the Corporate Taxpayer. The amount of all or any portion of any TRA Payment not made to the Holders when due under the terms of this Agreement (taking into account any deferral underSection 5.3) shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such TRA Payment was due and payable.

A-201

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, to the extent that, at the time any TRA Payment becomes due and payable hereunder, (i) the Corporate Taxpayer Group is not permitted, pursuant to the terms of any outstanding or committed indebtedness for borrowed money to make such TRA Payment, or if, after making such TRA Payment, the Corporate Taxpayer Group would be in breach or default under the terms of any such indebtedness, or (ii) (A) the Corporate Taxpayer does not have the cash on hand to make such TRA Payment, and (B) the Corporate Taxpayer is not able to obtain cash from the Corporate Taxpayer Group to fund such TRA Payment because (1) the Corporate Taxpayer Group is not permitted, pursuant to the terms of any such indebtedness, to make tax distributions or similar payments to the Corporate Taxpayer to allow it to make such TRA Payment, or if, after making such TRA Payment, the Corporate Taxpayer Group would be in breach or default under the terms of any such indebtedness or (2) the applicable member of the Corporate Taxpayer Group does not have the cash on hand to make the payment described inclause (1) above, then, in each case, upon prior notice to the Holders Representative, the Corporate Taxpayer shall be permitted to defer such TRA Payment until the condition described inclauses (i) or(ii) above is no longer applicable.

(b) If the Corporate Taxpayer defers any TRA Payment (or portion thereof) pursuant toSection 5.3(a), such deferred amount shall accrue interest at the Agreed Rate, from the date that such amounts originally became due and owing pursuant to the terms hereof to the Payment Date, compounded annually, and such deferred amounts shall not be treated as late payments or as a breach of any obligation under this Agreement.

The Corporate Taxpayer shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporate Taxpayer, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporate Taxpayer would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place (except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement).

7.6Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

7.7Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Laws rules or provisions (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.

7.8Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, in which case the Superior Court of the State of Delaware) for the purposes of any legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement, and agrees to commence any such legal proceeding only in such courts. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any such legal proceeding. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any legal proceeding out of this Agreement in such courts, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such legal proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING OR

A-204

COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER AT LAW, IN EQUITY, BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

7.9Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer and the Holders Representative are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed byArticle II orArticle IV within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to such Parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm, and (unless the Corporate Taxpayer and the Holders Representative agree otherwise), the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporate Taxpayer or the Holders Representative or their Affiliates or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the Parties are unable to agree on an Expert within 15 calendar days of the end of the 30calendar-day period set forth inSections 2.1 or4.2, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within 30 calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within 15 calendar days or, in each case, as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. If the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement), the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement, subject to adjustment upon resolution. For the avoidance of doubt, thisSection 7.9 shall not restrict the ability of the Corporate Taxpayer or its Affiliates to determine when or whether to file or amend any Tax Return. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne equally by the Corporate Taxpayer and the Holders (on a pro rata basis based on relative proportion of all Early Termination Payments under this Agreement, measured by present value of payments due under this Agreement, using the present value calculation and assumptions described underSection 4.3(b) assuming for such purpose the Early Termination Date is the date the Reconciliation Dispute is resolved) participating in the Reconciliation Dispute. The Corporate Taxpayer may withhold payments under this Agreement to collect amounts due under the preceding sentence. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of thisSection 7.9 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to thisSection 7.9 shall be binding on the Corporate Taxpayer and the Holders Representative and/or its Affiliates, as applicable, participating in the Reconciliation Dispute and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

7.10Withholding. The Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold or cause to be deducted and withheld from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporate Taxpayer determines in good faith it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law,provided, that, (a) the Corporate Taxpayer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify any applicable Holder of its intent to withhold at least ten Business Days prior to withholding such amounts and (b) except with respect to any withholding obligation resulting from any change in Law arising on or after the date hereof, the Corporate Taxpayer shall not withhold on account of U.S. federal income Taxes with respect to an applicable Holder that provides (i) a properly prepared and executed certificate ofnon-foreign status under Treasury RegulationsSection 1.1445-2(b)(2) and (ii) an IRS FormW-9 claiming a complete exemption from backup withholding.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporate Taxpayer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Holder.

7.11Admission of the Corporate Taxpayer into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

(a) If the Corporate Taxpayer and its wholly owned Subsidiaries are or become members of a combined, consolidated, affiliated or unitary group that files a consolidated, combined or unitary income tax

A-205

return pursuant to Sections 1501et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state or local Law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the relevant group as a whole; and (ii) TRA Payments, Net Tax Benefit, Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit, Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated (or combined or unitary, where applicable) taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and attributes of the relevant group as a whole.

(b) If any entity that is or may be obligated to make a TRA Payment, or any entity any portion of the income of which is included in the income of the Corporate Taxpayer’s consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group, directly or indirectly transfers (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) one or more assets to a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. income tax purposes with which such entity does not file a consolidated income tax return pursuant to Section 1501et seq. of the Code (or, for purposes of calculations relating to state or local taxes, a consolidated, combined or unitary income tax return under applicable state or local Law), such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any TRA Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and, if applicable, determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such transfer. The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the transferred asset, increased by the amount of debt that would increase the transferor’s “amount realized” for U.S. federal income tax purposes in connection with such transfer, in the case of a contribution of an encumbered asset (including an interest in an entity classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership which has debt outstanding). For the avoidance of doubt, a transaction treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a liquidation into the Corporate Taxpayer of one or more of its wholly owned Subsidiaries or merger of one or more of such entities into one another or the Corporate Taxpayer will not cause any such Persons to be treated as having disposed of any of its assets for purposes of thisSection 7.11(b). In the event there occurs a transaction described in the preceding sentence, the Tax Benefit Payments and any other amounts due under this Agreement shall be calculated without regard to such transaction.

7.12Confidentiality. Each Holder and each of its assignees acknowledge and agree that the information of the Corporate Taxpayer is confidential and agrees that, until the date that is three years after the termination of this Agreement in respect of such Holder (or assignee), such Holder (or assignee) shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters acquired pursuant to this Agreement of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates and successors, learned by the Holder heretofore or hereafter, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, as required by Law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement. ThisSection 7.12 shall not apply to (a) any information that has been made publicly available by the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of the Holder in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community, (b) any information independently determined by a Holder or provided to a Holder by a third party on anon-confidential basis and (c) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for the Holder to prepare and file its Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing Authority with respect to such Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other agreement, the Holders and each of their assignees (and each employee, representative or other agent of the Holders or their assignees, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure and any related tax strategies of or relating to the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, the Holder or its assignee, and any of their transactions or agreements, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Holder or its assignee relating to such tax treatment and tax structure and any related tax strategies.

If a Holder or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of thisSection 7.12, the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of thisSection 7.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Corporate Taxpayer or its Affiliates and the

A-206

accounts and funds managed by the Corporate Taxpayer and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

7.13Change in Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in Law, a Holder reasonably believes that the existence of this Agreement could cause income (other than income arising from receipt of a payment under this Agreement) recognized by such Holder (or its direct or indirect owners) to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain (or otherwise taxed at ordinary income rates) for U.S. federal income tax purposes or could have other material adverse tax consequences to such Holder (or its direct or indirect owners), then at the election of such Holder and the receipt by such Holder of the written consent of the Corporate Taxpayer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and to the extent specified by such Holder, this Agreement shall cease to have further effect with respect to such Holder.

7.14Independent Nature of Holders’ Rights and Obligations. The rights and obligations of each Holder are independent of the rights and obligations of any other Holder. No Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder, nor shall any Holder have the right to enforce the rights or obligations of any other Holder. The obligations of each Holder are solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable solely by, the Corporate Taxpayer. The decision of each Holder to enter into this Agreement has been made by such Holder independently of any other Holder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing (other than the Company A&R Regulations and any joinder thereto), and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Corporate Taxpayer acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group and will not assert any such claim with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i) Vacancies arising through the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal of any IRA Director may be filled by the Board only with a director nominee selected by the Investors (acting through the Investors Representative), and the IRA Director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of directors at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

(ii) So long as the Investors satisfy the Minimum Threshold, the Company shall notify the Investors Representative in writing of the date on which proxy materials are expected to be mailed by the Company in connection with an election of directors at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders (and the Company shall deliver such notice at least 60 days (or such shorter period to which the Investors Representative consents in writing) prior to such expected mailing date or such earlier date as may be specified by the Company reasonably in advance of such earlier delivery date on the basis that such earlier delivery is necessary so as to ensure that such nominee may be included in such proxy materials at the time such proxy materials are mailed). The Company shall provide the Investors Representative with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments on any portion of the proxy materials relating to the IRA Director or the rights and obligations provided under this Agreement and to discuss any such comments with the Company.

With respect to any Investors’ nominee, the Investors Representative shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such nominee substantially satisfies all reasonable stated criteria and guidelines for director nominees of the Company (it being understood and agreed that each of the IRA Directors on the Effective Date meet such criteria). The Company shall be entitled to rely on any written direction from the Investors Representative regarding the Investors’ nominee(s) without further action by the Company.

Such notice shall be given promptly (and in any event at least five (5) Business Days before the filing of the Underwritten Offering Filing or two (2) Business Days before the filing of the Underwritten Offering Filing in connection with a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering);provided, that if the Shelf Underwritten Offering is a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering and the Managing Underwriter advises Holdings and the Requesting Holders that the giving of notice pursuant to thisSection 2.02(b) would adversely affect the offering, no such notice shall be required (and such Holders shall have no right to include Registrable Securities in such bought or overnight Underwritten Offering); andprovided further, that Holdings shall not so notify any such other Holder that has notified Holdings (and not revoked such notice) requesting that such Holder not receive notice from Holdings of any proposed Shelf Underwritten Offering. Each such Holder shall then have four (4) Business Days (or one (1) Business Day in the case of a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering) after the date on which the Holders received notice pursuant to thisSection 2.02(b) to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Shelf Underwritten Offering (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and such

A-230

other information as is reasonably required to effect the inclusion of such Registrable Securities) (any such Holder making such request, a “Shelf Piggybacking Holder”).

(c) If the Managing Underwriter of the Shelf Underwritten Offering shall advise Holdings and the Requesting Holders in writing, with a copy to be provided upon request to any Shelf Piggybacking Holder, of its belief that the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering by the Requesting Holders and any Shelf Piggybacking Holders, together with any Holdings Securities or Other Securities requested or proposed to be included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities for such Shelf Underwritten Offering, then Registrable Securities, Holdings Securities and Other Securities shall be included in the Shelf Underwritten Offering, up to the Maximum Number of Securities (as set forth in such written advice from the Managing Underwriter), in the following priority:

(i)first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering by the Requesting Holders and the Shelf Piggybacking Holders,pro rata among the Requesting Holders and the Shelf Piggybacking Holders based on the respective numbers of Registrable Securities that each requested be included; and

(ii)second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), any Holdings Securities or Other Securities requested or proposed to be included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering allocated, as applicable, in accordance with the order of priority established in the agreement or agreements granting the registration rights with respect to any such Other Securities.

(d) The Managing Underwriter and any other underwriters for any Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be selected by Holdings;providedthat the Managing Underwriter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Holders. The Requesting Holders shall determine the pricing of the Registrable Securities offered pursuant to any Shelf Underwritten Offering and the applicable underwriting discounts and commissions and determine the timing of any such Shelf Underwritten Offering, subject toSection 2.03.

Section 2.03Delay and Suspension Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Holdings may (a) delay filing or effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or effecting a Shelf Underwritten Offering or (b) suspend the Holders’ use of any prospectus that is a part of the Shelf Registration Statement upon written notice to each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any materialnon-public information regarding Holdings) (in which event such Holder shall discontinue sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement but may settle any then-contracted sales of Registrable Securities), in each case for a period of up to 60 days, if Holdings’ board of directors determines upon the advice of legal counsel (x) that such delay or suspension is in the best interest of Holdings and its stockholders generally due to a pending financing or other transaction involving Holdings, including a proposed sale of Class A Common Stock by Holdings for its own account, (y) that such registration or offering would render Holdings unable to comply with applicable securities laws or (z) that such registration or offering would require disclosure of material information that Holdings has abona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential (any such period, a “Suspension Period”);provided, however, that in no event shall any Suspension Periods collectively exceed an aggregate of 120 days in any twelve-month period and there shall be no more than two Suspension Periods.

Section 2.04Piggyback Registration Rights.

(a) Subject toSection 2.04(c), if Holdings at any time proposes to file an Underwritten Offering Filing for an Underwritten Offering of shares of Class A Common Stock (or other equity securities of the same class as the Registrable Securities) for its own account or for the account of any other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights (a “Piggyback Underwritten Offering”), it will give written notice of such Piggyback

A-231

Underwritten Offering to each Holder that, together with such Holder’s Affiliates, holds at least the Minimum Number of Registrable Securities, which notice shall be held in strict confidence by such Holders and shall include the anticipated filing date of the Underwritten Offering Filing and, if known, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or other equity securities of the same class as the Registrable Securities) that are proposed to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, and of such Holders’ rights under thisSection 2.04(a). Such notice shall be given promptly (and in any event at least five (5) Business Days before the filing of the Underwritten Offering Filing or two (2) Business Days before the filing of the Underwritten Offering Filing in connection with a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering);provided, that if the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering and the Managing Underwriter advises Holdings that the giving of notice pursuant to thisSection 2.04(a) would adversely affect the offering, no such notice shall be required (and such Holders shall have no right to include Registrable Securities in such bought or overnight Underwritten Offering). Each such Holder shall then have four (4) Business Days (or one (1) Business Day in the case of a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering) after the date on which the Holders received notice pursuant to thisSection 2.04(a) to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and such other information as is reasonably required to effect the inclusion of such Registrable Securities) (any such Holder making such request, a “Piggybacking Holder”). If no request for inclusion from a Holder is received within such period, such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering. Subject toSection 2.04(c), Holdings shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities that Holdings has been so requested to include by the Piggybacking Holders;provided, however, that if, at any time after giving written notice of a proposed Piggyback Underwritten Offering pursuant to thisSection 2.04(a) and prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto, Holdings or such other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights, as applicable, shall determine for any reason not to proceed with or to delay such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, Holdings shall give written notice of such determination to the Piggybacking Holders (which such Holders will hold in strict confidence) and (i) in the case of a determination not to proceed, shall be relieved of its obligation to include any Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering (but not from any obligation of Holdings to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay, shall be permitted to delay inclusion of any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in including the Holdings Securities or Other Securities, as applicable.

(b) Each Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Piggyback Underwritten Offering at any time prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto by giving written notice to Holdings of its request to withdraw. Any Holder may deliver written notice (a “PiggybackOpt-Out Notice”) to Holdings requesting that such Holder not receive notice from Holdings of any proposed Piggyback Underwritten Offering;provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such PiggybackOpt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of a PiggybackOpt-Out Notice from any Holder (unless subsequently revoked), Holdings shall not, and shall not be required to, deliver any notice to such Holder pursuant to thisSection 2.04 and such Holder shall no longer be entitled to participate in any Piggyback Underwritten Offering.

(c) If the Managing Underwriter of the Piggyback Underwritten Offering shall advise Holdings of its belief that the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, together with the number of Holdings Securities and Other Securities proposed or requested to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities for such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, then Holdings Securities, Other Securities and Registrable Securities shall be included in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering, up to the Maximum Number of Securities (as set forth in such written advice from the Managing Underwriter), in the following priority:

(i) If the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is initiated for the account of Holdings:

(3)third, any Other Securities requested to be included by Persons having rights of registration that are subordinate to the rights of the Piggybacking Holders with respect to such offering.

(ii) If the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is initiated for the account of any other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights:

(1)first, all of the Other Securities requested to be included therein by such Persons;

(2)second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (1), the Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Piggybacking Holders and any Other Securities requested to be included by Persons (other than those for the account of which the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is initiated) having rights of registration on parity with the Piggybacking Holders with respect to such offering,pro rata among the Piggybacking Holders and such other Persons based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (or other equity securities of the same class as the Registrable Securities) each requested to be included; and

(3)third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), any Holdings Securities proposed to be included and any Other Securities requested to be included by Persons (other than those for the account of which the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is initiated) having rights of registration that are subordinate to the rights of the Piggybacking Holders with respect to such offering, allocated, as applicable, in accordance with the order of priority established in the agreement or agreements granting the registration rights with respect to any such Other Securities.

(d) Holdings or the other Persons for the account of which the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is initiated, as applicable, shall select the underwriters in any Piggyback Underwritten Offering and shall determine the pricing of the shares of Class A Common Stock (or other securities of the same class as Registrable Securities) offered pursuant to any Piggyback Underwritten Offering, the applicable underwriting discounts and commissions and the timing of any such Piggyback Underwritten Offering.

(b) In connection with any Piggyback Underwritten Offering in which any Holder has the right to include Registrable Securities pursuant toSection 2.04, such Holder agrees (i) to supply any information reasonably requested by Holdings in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement and/or any other documents relating to such registered offering and (ii) to execute and deliver any agreements and instruments being executed by all holders on substantially the same terms reasonably requested by Holdings or the Managing Underwriter, as applicable, to effectuate such registered offering, including, without limitation, underwriting agreements, custody

A-236

Section 3.03Indemnification Procedures. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant toSection 3.01 orSection 3.02, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under thisArticle III, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice), and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, unless in the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such claim, to assume the defense thereof jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to the extent that it chooses, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party that it so chooses, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation;provided,however, that (a) if the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (b) if such Indemnified Party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party or (c) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct then, in any such case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in each jurisdiction, except to the extent any Indemnified Party or Parties reasonably shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to such party or parties which are not available to the other Indemnified Parties or to the extent representation of all Indemnified Parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct) and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any expenses therefor. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (x) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (y) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

Section 3.04Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in thisArticle III is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities in respect of which indemnity is to be provided hereunder, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall to the fullest extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such party in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of Holdings (on the one hand) and a Holder (on the other hand) shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(b) Holdings and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to thisArticle III were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to inSection 3.04(a). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to inSection 3.04(a) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the

A-237

provisions of thisArticle III, no Holder shall be liable for indemnification or contribution pursuant to thisArticle III for any amount in excess of the net proceeds of the offering received by such Holder, less the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth herein, and other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Restricted Party, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1.Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have such meanings ascribed to them in the Transaction Agreement.

2.Non-Solicitation;Non-Competition.

(a) For a period of four years following the date hereof (the “Term”), the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause [his] Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly contact or solicit vendors, suppliers, customers or clients of the Strike Companies with whom the Restricted Party had contact or about whom the Restricted Party received proprietary, confidential or otherwisenon-public information for the purpose of providing (i) services relating to pipeline products and services, including new construction, make-ready, testing, maintenance, repairs, rehabilitation, upgrades, facility construction and reconnection, (ii) construction services relating to the installation and construction of mainline and lateral pipelines and associated facilities, testing and repair, (iii) new and refurbished flow measurement systems for natural gas and liquid applications, (iv) directional drilling services for various applications, including gas, oil, water, sewer and fiber, (v) instrumentation, electrical

The Restricted Party further agrees that during the Term, [he] shall not, and shall cause [his] Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, provide any products or services related to the Business to the Company or any of the Strike Companies’ customers and clients. For purposes of thisSection 2, “customers and clients” shall mean and include those customers and clients who have an existing contractual relationship with any Strike Company as of Closing Date.

(b) In addition, the Restricted Party agrees that during the Term, the Restricted Party will not, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, company, partnership, corporation, business or other entity of whatever nature, engage in, make loans to, own, operate, manage, control, become financially interested in or otherwise have any connection with, whether as an officer, director, manager, employee, independent contractor, advisor, sales representative, consultant, shareholder, owner, partner, member or in any other capacity, the Business within any portion of the United States(the “Territory”) and anywhere outside of the Territory where any Strike Company has engaged in the Business;provided, however, that the passive ownership by the Restricted Party of 5% or less of the outstanding voting securities of a publicly traded company will not be deemed to be a breach of thisSection 2.

4.Remedies. The Restricted Party acknowledges that a violation by the Restricted Party or its Affiliates, as applicable, of any of the covenants contained inSection 2 or3 would cause irreparable damage to the Company in an amount that would be material but not readily ascertainable, and that any remedy at law (including the payment of damages) would be inadequate. Accordingly, the Restricted Party agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company or any Strike Company shall be entitled (without the necessity of showing economic loss or other actual damage) to injunctive relief (including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and/or permanent injunctions) in any court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or threatened breach of any of the covenants set forth inSection 2 or3 in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies it may have.

(b) during any twelve (12) month period, individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason (other than death or disability) to constitute at least a majority of the Board;provided,however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Stockholders, was approved by a vote or the approval of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or written action or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;

(c) consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including, without limitation, a sale of Strike Capital, LLC) (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, all or substantially all of the Persons who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the shares of Common Stock and Voting Shares immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding common shares and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions relative to each other as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the shares of Common Stock and Voting Shares of the Company, as the case may be; or

(d) approval by the Stockholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will the issuance of Common Stock to investors pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement entered between One Equity Partners Secondary Fund, L.P., Strike Capital, LLC and the unitholders of Strike Capital, LLC dated October [ ], 2018 be deemed to be a Change in Control.

A-277

13.Detrimental Activity and Recapture Provisions. Any Evidence of Award may reference a clawback policy of the Company or provide for the cancellation or forfeiture of an award or the forfeiture and repayment to the Company of any gain related to an award, or other provisions intended to have a similar effect, upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee from time to time, if a Participant, either (a) during employment or other service with the Company or a Subsidiary, or (b) within a specified period after termination of such employment or service, engages in any detrimental activity, as described in the applicable Evidence of Award or such clawback policy. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any Evidence of Award or such clawback policy may also provide for the cancellation or forfeiture of an award or the forfeiture and repayment to the Company of any shares of Common Stock issued under and/or any other benefit related to an award, or other provisions intended to have a similar effect, upon such terms and conditions as may be required by the Committee or under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the shares of Common Stock may be traded.

14.Non-U.S. Participants. In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of grants under this Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms for awards to Participants who are foreign nationals or who are employed by the Company or any Subsidiary outside of the United States of America or who provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary under an agreement with a foreign nation or agency, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of this Plan (includingsub-plans) as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes, without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose, and the secretary or other appropriate officer of the Company may certify any such document as having been approved and adopted in the same manner as this Plan. No such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements, however, will include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as then in effect unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the Stockholders.

15.Transferability.

(a) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no Option Right, Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share, Performance Unit, Cash Incentive Award, award contemplated bySection 9 of this Plan or dividend equivalents paid with respect to awards made under this Plan will be transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. In no event will any such award granted under this Plan be transferred for value. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, Option Rights and Appreciation Rights will be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him or her or, in the event of the Participant’s legal incapacity to do so, by his or her guardian or legal representative acting on behalf of the Participant in a fiduciary capacity under state law or court supervision.

(b) The Committee may specify on the Date of Grant that part or all of the shares of Common Stock that are (i) to be issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, upon the termination of the Restriction Period applicable to Restricted Stock Units or upon payment under any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units or (ii) no longer subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to inSection 6 of this Plan, will be subject to further restrictions on transfer.

A-278

Common Stock, and such Participant fails to make arrangements for the payment of taxes or other amounts, then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company will withhold shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a Participant is required to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable income, employment, tax or other laws, the Participant may elect, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by having withheld, from the shares of Common Stock required to be delivered to the Participant, shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld or by delivering to the Company other shares of Common Stock held by such Participant. The shares of Common Stock used for tax or other withholding will be valued at an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock on the date the benefit is to be included in Participant’s income. In no event will the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock to be withheld and delivered pursuant to thisSection 16 exceed the minimum amount required to be withheld, unless (i) an additional amount can be withheld and not result in adverse accounting consequences, (ii) such additional withholding amount is authorized by the Committee, and (iii) the total amount withheld does not exceed the Participant’s estimated tax obligations attributable to the applicable transaction. Participants will also make such arrangements as the Company may require for the payment of any withholding tax or other obligation that may arise in connection with the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of Option Rights.

17.Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

(a) To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any grants made hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Participants. This Plan and any grants made hereunder will be administered in a manner consistent with this intent. Any reference in this Plan to Section 409A of the Code will also include any regulations or any other formal guidance promulgated with respect to such section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

(b) Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries will have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under this Plan and grants hereunder to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to a Participant or for a Participant’s benefit under this Plan and grants hereunder may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owed by a Participant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) the Participant will be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to thesix-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay it, without interest, on the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth business day of the seventh month after such separation from service and (ii) the Participant’s death.

(d) Solely with respect to any award that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that is payable on account of a Change in Control (including any installments or stream of payments that are accelerated on account of a Change in Control), a Change in Control shall occur only if such event also constitutes a “change in the ownership,” “change in effective control,” and/or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of assets” of the Company as those terms are defined under Treasury Regulation§1.409A-3(i)(5), but only to the extent necessary to establish a time and form of payment that complies with Section 409A of the Code, without altering the definition of Change in Control for any purpose in respect of such award.

A-279

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan and grants hereunder to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Plan and grants hereunder as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In any case, a Participant will be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a Participant or for a Participant’s account in connection with this Plan and grants hereunder (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its affiliates will have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

18.Amendments.

(a) The Board may at any time and from time to time amend this Plan in whole or in part;provided,however, that no amendment to the Plan shall be effective without the approval of the Company’s stockholders if (i) stockholder approval is required by applicable law, rule or regulation, including any rule of the Nasdaq Stock Market, or any other stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded, or (ii) such amendment seeks to modify thenon-employee Director compensation limits set forth inSection 3(d).

(b) Except in connection with a corporate transaction or event described inSection 11 of this Plan or in connection with a Change in Control, the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the Option Price of outstanding Option Rights or the Base Price of outstanding Appreciation Rights, or cancel outstanding “underwater” Option Rights or Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other awards or Option Rights or Appreciation Rights with an Option Price or Base Price, as applicable, that is less than the Option Price of the original Option Rights or Base Price of the original Appreciation Rights, as applicable, without Stockholder approval. ThisSection 18(b) is intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater” Option Rights and Appreciation Rights and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for inSection 11 of this Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, thisSection 18(b) may not be amended without approval by the Stockholders.

(c) If permitted by Section 409A of the Code, but subject to the paragraph that follows, including in the case of termination of employment or service, or in the case of unforeseeable emergency or other circumstances or in the event of a Change in Control, to the extent a Participant holds an Option Right or Appreciation Right not immediately exercisable in full, or any Restricted Stock as to which the substantial risk of forfeiture or the prohibition or restriction on transfer has not lapsed, or any Restricted Stock Units as to which the Restriction Period has not been completed, or any Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units which have not been fully earned, or any dividend equivalents or other awards made pursuant toSection 9 of this Plan subject to any vesting schedule or transfer restriction, or who holds shares of Common Stock subject to any transfer restriction imposed pursuant toSection 15(b) of this Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for continued vesting or accelerate the time at which such Option Right, Appreciation Right or other award may be exercised or the time at which such substantial risk of forfeiture or prohibition or restriction on transfer will lapse or the time when such Restriction Period will end or the time at which such Cash Incentive Awards, Performance Shares or Performance Units will be deemed to have been fully earned or the time when such transfer restriction will terminate or may waive any other limitation or requirement under any such award.

(d) Subject toSection 18(b) of this Plan, the Committee may amend the terms of any award theretofore granted under this Plan prospectively or retroactively. Except for adjustments made pursuant toSection 11 of this Plan, no such amendment will materially impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate this Plan at any time. Termination of this Plan will not affect the rights of Participants or their successors under any awards outstanding hereunder and not exercised in full on the date of termination.

19.Governing Law. This Plan and all grants and awards and actions taken hereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware.

A-280

20.Effective Date/Termination. This Plan will be effective as of the Effective Date. No grant will be made under this Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but all grants made prior to such date will continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms thereof and of this Plan. Awards hereunder may be made at any time prior to the termination of this Plan, provided that no Incentive Stock Options may be granted later than ten years after the date on which the Plan was approved by the Board.

21.Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) The Company will not be required to issue any fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Plan. The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement of fractions in cash.

(b) This Plan will not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate such Participant’s employment or other service at any time.

(c) Except with respect toSection 21(e) of this Plan, to the extent that any provision of this Plan would prevent any Option Right that was intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option from qualifying as such, that provision will be null and void with respect to such Option Right. Such provision, however, will remain in effect for other Option Rights and there will be no further effect on any provision of this Plan.

(d) No award under this Plan may be exercised by the holder thereof if such exercise, and the receipt of cash or stock thereunder, would be, in the opinion of counsel selected by the Company, contrary to law or the regulations of any duly constituted authority having jurisdiction over this Plan.

(e) Subject to Section 409A of the Code or the extent otherwise provided for in an Evidence of Award, absence on leave approved by a duly constituted officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will not be considered interruption or termination of service of any employee for any purposes of this Plan or awards granted hereunder.

(f) No Participant will have any rights as a Stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted to him or her under this Plan prior to the date as of which he or she is actually recorded as the holder of such shares of Common Stock upon the stock records of the Company.

(g) Subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may condition the grant of any award or combination of awards authorized under this Plan on the surrender or deferral by the Participant of his or her right to receive a cash bonus or other compensation otherwise payable by the Company or a Subsidiary to the Participant.

(h) Except with respect to Option Rights and Appreciation Rights, the Committee may permit Participants to elect to defer the issuance of shares of Common Stock under this Plan pursuant to such rules, procedures or programs as it may establish for purposes of this Plan and which are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Committee also may provide that deferred issuances and settlements include the crediting of dividend equivalents or interest on the deferral amounts.

(i) If any provision of this Plan is or becomes invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify this Plan or any award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision will be construed or deemed amended or limited in scope to conform to applicable laws or, in the discretion of the Committee, it will be stricken and the remainder of this Plan will remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or an Evidence of Award to the contrary, nothing in this Plan or in an Evidence of Award prevents a Participant from providing, without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations, and for purpose of clarity a

A-281

Participant is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.

22.Stock-Based Awards in Substitution for Awards Granted by Another Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary:

(a) Awards may be granted under this Plan in substitution for or in conversion of, or in connection with an assumption of, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other stock or stock-based awards held by awardees of an entity engaging in a corporate acquisition or merger transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary. Any conversion, substitution or assumption will be effective as of the close of the merger or acquisition, and, to the extent applicable, will be conducted in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. The awards so granted may reflect the original terms of the awards being assumed or substituted or converted for and need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, and may account for shares of Common Stock substituted for the securities covered by the original awards and the number of shares subject to the original awards, as well as any exercise or purchase prices applicable to the original awards, adjusted to account for differences in stock prices in connection with the transaction.

(b) In the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary merges has shares available under apre-existing plan previously approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or merger, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, to reflect such acquisition or merger) may be used for awards made after such acquisition or merger under this Plan;provided,however, that awards using such available shares may not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of thepre-existing plan absent the acquisition or merger, and may only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to such acquisition or merger.

(c) Any shares of Common Stock that are issued or transferred by, or that are subject to any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Company underSections 22(a) or 22(b) of this Plan will not reduce the shares of Common Stock available for issuance or transfer under this Plan or otherwise count against the limits contained inSection 3 of this Plan. In addition, no shares of Common Stock subject to an award that is granted by, or becomes an obligation of, the Company underSections 22(a) or22(b) of this Plan will be added to the aggregate limit contained inSection 3(a)(i) of this Plan.

Exhibit L

FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of [●], 2018, by and between STRIKE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [●] (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as directors or officers unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such corporations.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals as directors and officers, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect such persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors and officers are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation. The amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) of the Company requires indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to applicable Delaware law. The Charter expressly provides that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement and reimbursement rights.

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons.

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future.

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so protected against liabilities.

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Charter and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

WHEREAS, Indemnitee may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve or continue to serve for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

A-283

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1SERVICES TO THE COMPANY. In consideration of the Company’s covenants and obligations hereunder, Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve as an officer, director or key employee of the Company for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders Indemnitee’s resignation or until Indemnitee is removed. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company, as provided in Section 16. This Agreement, however, shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments of the parties, if any.

2DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement:

(a) References to “agent” shall mean any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company or other person authorized by the Company to act for the Company, to include such person serving in such capacity as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other official of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of, for the convenience of, or to represent the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise) in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

A-286

4INDEMNITY IN PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise) in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that any court in which the Proceeding was brought or the Delaware Court shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, to be held harmless or to exoneration.

5INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A PARTY WHO IS WHOLLY OR PARTLY SUCCESSFUL. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding, the Company also shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred in connection with a claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue, or matter on which Indemnitee was successful. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

6INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A WITNESS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness or deponent in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee was or is not a party or threatened to be made a party, Indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

7CONTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF JOINT LIABILITY.

(a) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification, hold harmless and/or exoneration rights provided for in this Agreement are unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying, holding harmless or exonerating Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have at any time against Indemnitee.

(b) The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.

A-287

(c) The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee from any claims for contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

8EXCLUSIONS. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification, advance of expenses, hold harmless or exoneration payment in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

(a) for which payment has actually been received by or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, or other indemnity or advancement provision or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount actually received under any insurance policy, contract, agreement, other indemnity or advancement provision or otherwise;

(b) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule) or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or

(c) except as otherwise provided in Sections 13(f)-(g) hereof, prior to a Change in Control, in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, advance of expenses, hold harmless or exoneration payment, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law. Indemnitee shall seek payments or advances from the Company only to the extent that such payments or advances are unavailable from any insurance policy of the Company covering Indemnitee.

9ADVANCES OF EXPENSES; DEFENSE OF CLAIM.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, and to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Company shall pay the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee (or reasonably expected by Indemnitee to be incurred by Indemnitee within three months) in connection with any Proceeding within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, prior to the final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing a Proceeding to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. To the fullest extent required by applicable law, such payments of Expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon the Company’s receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of Indemnitee, to repay the advanced amounts to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless or exonerated by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, the Charter, applicable law or otherwise. This Section 9(a) shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which an indemnification, advance of expenses, hold harmless or exoneration payment is excluded pursuant to Section 8.

(b) The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.

(c) The Company shall not settle any action, claim or Proceeding (in whole or in part) which would impose any Expense, judgment, liability, fine, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent.

A-288

10PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION AND APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) Indemnitee agrees to promptly notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding, claim, issue or matter therein which may be subject to indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights, or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement, or otherwise.

(b) Indemnitee may deliver to the Company a written application to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement. Such application(s) may be delivered from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in Indemnitee’s sole discretion. Following such a written application for indemnification by Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined according to Section 11(a) of this Agreement.

11PROCEDURE UPON APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) A determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made in the specific case by one of the following methods, which shall be at the election of Indemnitee: (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board or (ii) by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee. The Company promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing with respect to any determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

(b) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 11(b). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. If the Independent Counsel is selected by the Board, the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person or law firm so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company

A-289

or Indemnitee may petition the Delaware Court for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Delaware Court, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

(c) The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel and to fully indemnify and hold harmless such Independent Counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or such Independent Counsel’s engagement pursuant hereto.

12PRESUMPTIONS AND EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS.

(a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(b) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including by the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by the Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(b) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 11 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a final judicial determination that any or all such indemnification is expressly prohibited under applicable law; provided, however, that such30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto.

(c) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(d) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors, managers, or officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise, the Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing member of the Enterprise, or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise, the Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing member of the Enterprise, by an independent certified public

A-290

accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Enterprise, the Board, any committee of the Board or any director, trustee, general partner, manager or managing member of the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 12(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

(e) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

13REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE.

(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5, 6 or the last sentence of Section 11(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (v) a contribution payment is not made in a timely manner pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, (vi) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (vii) payment to Indemnitee pursuant to any hold harmless or exoneration rights under this Agreement or otherwise is not made in accordance with this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Delaware Court to such indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or advancement rights. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of Delaware law (without regard to its conflict of laws rules) shall apply to any such arbitration. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.

(c) In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated and to receive advancement of Expenses under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, held harmless, exonerated and to receive advancement of Expenses, as the case may be, and the Company may not refer to or introduce into evidence any determination pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement adverse to Indemnitee for any purpose. If Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 13, Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to Section 9 until a final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed).

(d) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(e) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

A-291

(f) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law against all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of such written request) pay to Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Expenses which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any judicial proceeding or arbitration brought by Indemnitee: (i) to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement or any other indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement or contribution agreement or provision of the Charter now or hereafter in effect; or (ii) for recovery or advances under any insurance policy maintained by any person for the benefit of Indemnitee, regardless of the outcome and whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration right, advancement, contribution or insurance recovery, as the case may be (unless such judicial proceeding or arbitration was not brought by Indemnitee in good faith).

(g) Interest shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee at the legal rate under Delaware law for amounts which the Company indemnifies, holds harmless or exonerates, or advances, or is obliged to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate or advance for the period commencing with the date on which Indemnitee requests indemnification, to be held harmless, exonerated, contribution, reimbursement or advancement of any Expenses and ending with the date on which such payment is made to Indemnitee by the Company.

14SECURITY. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of Indemnitee.

15NON-EXCLUSIVITY; SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS; INSURANCE; SUBROGATION.

(a) The rights of Indemnitee as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any Proceeding (regardless of when such Proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) or claim, issue or matter therein arising out of, or related to, any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Charter or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b) The DGCL and the Charter permit the Company to purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond (“Indemnification Arrangements”) on behalf of Indemnitee against any liability asserted against Indemnitee or incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee or in such capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement or under the DGCL, as it may then be in effect. The purchase, establishment, and maintenance of any such Indemnification Arrangement shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or of Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or the other party or parties thereto under any such Indemnification Arrangement.

A-292

(c) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, trustees, partners, managers, managing members, fiduciaries, employees, or agents of the Company or of any other Enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, trustee, partner, managers, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness, deponent or otherwise), the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(d) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(e) The Company’s obligation to indemnify, hold harmless, exonerate or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration payments or advancement of expenses from such Enterprise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Indemnitee shall have no obligation to reduce, offset, allocate, pursue or apportion any indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement, contribution or insurance coverage among multiple parties possessing such duties to Indemnitee prior to the Company’s satisfaction and performance of all its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) the Company shall perform fully its obligations under this Agreement without regard to whether Indemnitee holds, may pursue or has pursued any indemnification, advancement, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or insurance coverage rights against any person or entity other than the Company.

16DURATION OF AGREEMENT. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee serves as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other Enterprise which Indemnitee serves at the request of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement) by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, whether or not Indemnitee is acting in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or advancement can be provided under this Agreement.

17SEVERABILITY. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

A-293

18ENFORCEMENT AND BINDING EFFECT.

(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director, officer or key employee of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director, officer or key employee of the Company.

(b) Without limiting any of the rights of Indemnitee under the Charter as they may be amended from time to time, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(c) The indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration and advancement of expenses rights provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer employee or agent of the Company or a director, officer, trustee, general partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other Enterprise at the Company’s request, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.

(d) The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

(e) The Company and Indemnitee agree herein that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, enforce this Agreement by seeking, among other things, injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which Indemnitee may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company hereby waives any such requirement of such a bond or undertaking to the fullest extent permitted by law.

19MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Company and Indemnitee. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

20NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (ii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third (3rd) business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

Section 5.1.Authorized Capital Stock. The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, which the Corporation is authorized to issue is 221,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 220,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”), including (i) 200,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”), (ii) 20,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock”), and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). Prior to the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation (this “Certificate”), the Corporation was a Cayman Islands exempted company (at such time, the “Predecessor Corporation”), which had authorized share capital consisting of (i) 200,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Predecessor Class A Ordinary Shares”), (ii)

B-1

20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Predecessor Class B Ordinary Shares”), and 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, par value $0.0001 per share. Immediately upon the acceptance of this Certificate for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, each Predecessor Class A Ordinary Share automatically, without any further action, converted into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock and each Predecessor Class B Ordinary Share automatically, without any further action, converted into an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock.

Section 5.2.Preferred Stock. Subject toArticle X hereof, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is hereby expressly authorized to provide out of the unissued shares of the Preferred Stock for one or more series of Preferred Stock and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, of each such series and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issuance of such series and included in a certificate of designation (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) filed pursuant to the DGCL, and the Board is hereby expressly vested with the authority to the full extent provided by law, now or hereafter, to adopt any such resolution or resolutions.

Section 5.3.No Class Vote on Changes in Authorized Number of Shares of Preferred Stock. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate, any Preferred Stock Designation or any resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series of stock adopted by the Board, the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

Section 5.4.Common Stock.

(a)Voting.

B-2

(b)Class B Common Stock.

(2) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock or equity linked securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding consenting or agreeing separately as a single class in the manner provided inSection 5.4(b)(iii), and (ii) in no event shall the Class B Common Stock convert into Class A Common Stock at a ratio that is less thanone-for-one.

Each share of Class B Common Stock shall convert into itspro rata number of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to thisSection 5.4(b). Thepro rata share for each holder of Class B Common Stock will be determined as follows: each share of Class B Common Stock shall convert into such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is equal to the product of one multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to thisSection 5.4(b) and the denominator of which shall be the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock at the time of conversion.

B-3

shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the Class B Common Stock. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the holders of Class B Common Stock may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of the outstanding Class B Common Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of Class B Common Stock were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt written notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent of the holders of Class B Common Stock shall, to the extent required by law, be given to those holders of Class B Common Stock who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders of Class B Common Stock to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

(c)Dividends. Subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock and the provisions of Article X hereof, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of the Corporation) when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

(d)Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up of the Corporation. Subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock and the provisions of Article X hereof, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (on an as converted basis with respect to the Class B Common Stock) held by them.

Section 5.5.Rights and Options. The Corporation has the authority to create and issue rights, warrants and options entitling the holders thereof to acquire from the Corporation any shares of its capital stock of any class or classes, with such rights, warrants and options to be evidenced by or in instrument(s) approved by the Board. The Board is empowered to set the exercise price, duration, times for exercise and other terms and conditions of such rights, warrants or options;provided, however, that the consideration to be received for any shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise thereof may not be less than the par value thereof.

ARTICLE VI.

Subject toSection 6.5, if the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The Board is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions thereof, to assign members of the Board already in office to the aforesaid classes at the time this Certificate (and therefore such classification) becomes effective in accordance with the DGCL.

(c) Subject toSection 6.5 hereof, a director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

In the event of vacancies on the Board, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, shall exercise the powers of the full Board until the vacancy is filled.

Section 6.4.Removal. Subject toSection 6.5 hereof, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, only by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66²⁄₃ percent of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. At least 45 days prior to any annual or special meeting of stockholders at which it is proposed that any director be removed from office, written notice of such proposed removal and the alleged grounds thereof shall be sent to the director whose removal will be considered at the meeting.

B-5

Section 6.5.Preferred Stock – Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of thisArticle VI, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect one or more directors, the term of office, the filling of vacancies, the removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series of the Preferred Stock as set forth in this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) and such directors shall not be included in any of the classes created pursuant to thisArticle VI unless expressly provided by such terms.

Section 6.6.No Cumulative Voting.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders;provided,however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66²⁄₃ percent of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws; andprovidedfurther,however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

B-6

ARTICLE IX.

LIMITED LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1.Limitation of Director Liability. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended unless a director violated their duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived improper personal benefit from their actions as directors. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

Section 9.2.Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition;provided,however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under thisSection 9.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by thisSection 9.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of thisSection 9.2(a), except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

(b) Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation or advancement of expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and charges) under thisSection 9.2 shall be made promptly, and in any event within forty-five days (or, in the case of an advancement of expenses, twenty days, provided that the director or officer has delivered the undertaking contemplated bySection 9.2(a) if required), upon the written request of the director or officer. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within forty-five days (or, in the case of an advancement of expenses, twenty days, provided that the director or officer has delivered the undertaking contemplated bySection 9.2(a) if required), the right to indemnification or advancements as granted by thisSection 9.2 shall be enforceable by the director or officer in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, which shall be the sole and exclusive forums for any such action. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the

B-7

Corporation to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advancement of expenses where the undertaking required pursuant toSection 9.2(a), if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the Corporation to the maximum extent permitted by law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(c) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by thisSection 9.2 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Certificate, the Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

(d) Any repeal or amendment of thisSection 9.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Certificate inconsistent with thisSection 9.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

(e) For purposes of thisSection 9.2, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any constituent Corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under thisSection 9.2 with respect to the resulting or surviving Corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent Corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(f) ThisSection 9.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.

ARTICLE X.

BUSINESS COMBINATION REQUIREMENTS; EXISTENCE

Section 10.1.General.

(a) The provisions of thisArticle X shall apply during the period commencing upon the effectiveness of this Certificate and terminating upon the consummation of the Corporation’s initial Business Combination and no amendment to thisArticle X shall be effective prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination unless approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of all then outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

(b) Immediately after the Offering, a certain amount of the net offering proceeds received by the Corporation in the Offering (including the proceeds of any exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment

B-8

option) and certain other amounts specified in the Corporation’s registration statement on FormS-1, as initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 22, 2017, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), were deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), established for the benefit of the Public Stockholders (as defined below) pursuant to a trust agreement described in the Registration Statement. Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay franchise and income taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account (including the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account) will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of 100% of the Offering Shares (as defined below) if the Corporation is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering and (iii) the redemption of shares in connection with a vote seeking to amend any provisions of this Certificate relating to stockholders’ rights orpre-initial Business Combination activity (as described inSection 10.7). Holders of shares of Common Stock included as part of the units sold in the Offering (the “Offering Shares”) (whether such Offering Shares were purchased in the Offering or in the secondary market following the Offering and whether or not such holders are Sentinel Management Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”) or officers or directors of the Corporation, or affiliates of any of the foregoing) are referred to herein as “Public Stockholders.”

Section 10.2.Redemption Rights.

(a) Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Corporation shall provide all holders of Offering Shares with the opportunity to have their Offering Shares redeemed upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to, and subject to the limitations of,Sections 10.2(b) and10.2(c) (such rights of such holders to have their Offering Shares redeemed pursuant to such Sections, the “Redemption Rights”) hereof for cash equal to the applicable redemption price per share determined in accordance withSection 10.2(b) hereof (the “Redemption Price”); provided, however, that the Corporation shall not redeem Offering Shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Corporation’s failure to have net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (or any successor rule)) in excess of $5 million or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to the initial Business Combination upon consummation of the initial Business Combination (such limitation hereinafter called the “Redemption Limitation”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate, there shall be no Redemption Rights or liquidating distributions with respect to any warrant issued pursuant to the Offering.

(b) If the Corporation offers to redeem the Offering Shares other than in conjunction with a stockholder vote on an initial Business Combination with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act (or any successor rules or regulations) and filing proxy materials with the SEC, the Corporation shall offer to redeem the Offering Shares upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, in accordance with the provisions ofSection 10.2(a) hereof pursuant to a tender offer in accordance with Rule13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule or regulation) (such rules and regulations hereinafter called the “Tender Offer Rules”) which it shall commence prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination and shall file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination that contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination and the Redemption Rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule or regulation) (such rules and regulations hereinafter called the “Proxy Solicitation Rules”), even if such information is not required under the Tender Offer Rules; provided, however, that if a stockholder vote is required by law to approve the proposed initial Business Combination, or the Corporation decides to submit the proposed initial Business Combination to the stockholders for their approval for business or other legal reasons, the Corporation shall offer to redeem the Offering Shares, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, in accordance with the provisions ofSection 10.2(a) hereof in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the Proxy Solicitation Rules (and not the Tender Offer Rules) at a price per share equal to the Redemption Price calculated in accordance with the following

B-9

provisions of thisSection 10.2(b). In the event that the Corporation offers to redeem the Offering Shares pursuant to a tender offer in accordance with the Tender Offer Rules, the Redemption Price per share of the Common Stock payable to holders of the Offering Shares tendering their Offering Shares pursuant to such tender offer shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its franchise and income taxes, by (ii) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares. If the Corporation offers to redeem the Offering Shares in conjunction with a stockholder vote on the proposed initial Business Combination pursuant to a proxy solicitation, the Redemption Price per share of the Common Stock payable to holders of the Offering Shares exercising their Redemption Rights shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its franchise and income taxes, by (b) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares.

(c) If the Corporation offers to redeem the Offering Shares in conjunction with a stockholder vote on an initial Business Combination pursuant to a proxy solicitation, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), shall be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Offering Shares.

(d) In the event that the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering, the Corporation shall (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Offering Shares in consideration of aper-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Corporation’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

(e) If the Corporation offers to redeem the Offering Shares in conjunction with a stockholder vote on an initial Business Combination, the Corporation shall consummate the proposed initial Business Combination only if (i) such initial Business Combination is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Common Stock that are voted at a stockholder meeting held to consider such initial Business Combination and (ii) the Redemption Limitation is not exceeded.

16.Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other amounts in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under this Plan, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes or other amounts required to be withheld, which arrangements (in the discretion of the Committee) may include relinquishment of a portion of such benefit. If a Participant’s benefit is to be received in the form of shares of Common Stock, and such Participant fails to make arrangements for the payment of taxes or other amounts, then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company will withhold shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a Participant is required to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable income, employment, tax or other laws, the Participant may elect, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by having withheld, from the shares of Common Stock required to be delivered to the Participant, shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld or by delivering to the Company other shares of Common Stock held by such Participant.
