Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On December 14, 2021, R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Chatham Delta Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Chatham Delta Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”), providing for the merger of Acquisition Sub with and into the Company pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Acquisition Sub are affiliates of Chatham Asset Management, LLC (“CAM”).

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) unanimously (i) approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, taken together, are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and (iii) subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, resolved to recommend the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders.

As a result of the Merger, each share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (other than Company Common Stock (i) held by the Company (including shares held as treasury shares) or any of its subsidiaries or Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their wholly owned subsidiaries (including the shares contributed to Parent by certain affiliates of CAM in accordance with the capital commitment letter entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement (as described below)), and (ii) held by stockholders who have properly exercised appraisal rights pursuant to Delaware law) shall be converted into the right to receive $10.85 per share in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time:

•

each Company stock option (“Company Option”) (whether or not vested) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically vest (if unvested) and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the per-share exercise price for such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Option, provided that if the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option will be cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof;

•

each Company time-based restricted stock unit (“Company RSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically vest (if unvested) and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, provided that any Company RSUs granted between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time (the “Interim Period”) will vest on a pro-rata basis based on the number of days in the award period preceding the closing of the Merger, and any such Company RSUs that do not so vest will be forfeited for no consideration;

•

each Company time-based phantom restricted stock unit (“Company Phantom RSU”) award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically vest (if unvested) and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the number of Company Phantom RSUs underlying the award multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, provided that any Company Phantom RSUs granted during the Interim Period will vest on a pro-rated basis based on the number of days in the award period preceding the closing of the Merger, and any such Company Phantom RSUs that do not so vest will be forfeited for no consideration; and

•

each Company performance stock unit or phantom performance stock unit (“Company PSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company PSU attributable to the percentage of the Company PSUs that vest as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (with vesting determined based on the attainment of the applicable performance metrics at the greater of target and actual level of performance for any awards in respect of which the performance period has not expired as of the Effective Time and based on actual level of performance for any awards in respect of which the performance period has expired prior to the Effective Time, in each case, as determined in good faith consistent with past practice by the Board or a committee thereof) multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, provided that any Company PSUs granted during the Interim Period will vest on a pro-rated basis based on the number of days in the award period preceding the closing of the Merger (with vesting based on target-level performance), and any such Company PSUs that do not so vest will be forfeited for no consideration.

If the Merger is consummated, the Company Common Stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange on the closing date and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

Conditions to the Merger and Closing

Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote thereon (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”), (ii) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “Antitrust Condition”), (iii) the absence of any law or order issued by a governmental authority prohibiting the Merger (the “Restraint Condition”), (iv) with respect to the closing conditions of Parent, no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having occurred since the date of the Merger Agreement and (v) other customary closing conditions, including with respect to the accuracy of representations and warranties and the compliance with covenants. Completion of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition.

The parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to cause the conditions to the Merger to be satisfied as expeditiously as possible.

Non-Solicitation of Competing Offers

From the date of the Merger Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company must comply with customary non-solicitation restrictions. Subject to certain customary “fiduciary out” exceptions, the Board is required to recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Merger and is not permitted to withdraw, qualify, amend or modify in any manner adverse to Parent its recommendation. However, the Board may, prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, make a Change of Recommendation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in connection with a Superior Proposal or Intervening Event (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) if the Company complies with certain notice and other requirements set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the payment of the applicable reimbursement amounts (as further described below).

Termination and Reimbursement Amounts

Either the Company or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, including if (i) the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before 5:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the 180th day following the date of the Merger Agreement (subject to an extension to the 240th day following the date of the Merger Agreement in the event that all of the conditions to closing have been or are capable of being satisfied, other than the Antitrust Condition or the Restraint Condition) (the “Termination Date”), (ii) a governmental authority has issued a final and non-appealable law or order prohibiting the Merger, (iii) the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the stockholders’ meeting duly convened therefor (the “Stockholders’ Meeting”) or (iv) the other party breaches or fails to perform, and does not cure (if and as applicable), any representation or covenant that would cause the related condition to the other party’s obligation to consummate the Merger not to be satisfied, in each case subject to certain

limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement. In the event Parent terminates the Merger Agreement under the preceding clause (iv), a reimbursement to Parent of the $20,000,000 payment made by Parent to cover the termination fee due under the Company’s November 3, 2021 agreement and plan of merger with Atlas River Parent Inc. (“Atlas Parent”) and Atlas River Acquisition Sub Inc. (“Atlas Acquisition Sub”), as amended on December 9, 2021 (the “Atlas Merger Agreement,” and such reimbursement to Parent, the “Atlas Termination Fee Refund”), would be payable by the Company in this situation.

The Company may terminate the Merger Agreement if (i) all conditions to the Merger have been satisfied (subject to customary exceptions), (ii) Parent and Acquisition Sub fail to consummate the Merger within two business days following the date the closing should have occurred and (iii) the Company provides written notice to Parent that the conditions to closing have been satisfied or waived and that the Company stands ready, willing and able to consummate the Merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, any failure by Parent or Acquisition Sub to consummate the Merger at any time at which the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence is deemed an intentional and knowing breach of the Merger Agreement by Parent and Acquisition Sub.

The Company may also terminate the Merger Agreement if, prior to receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Board shall have authorized the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to a Superior Proposal and, substantially concurrently with such termination, the Company enters into such Alternative Acquisition Agreement and pays an expense reimbursement of $12,000,000 to Parent. In addition, the Atlas Termination Fee Refund would be payable by the Company to Parent in this situation.

Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement if (i) the Board has made a Change of Recommendation (which termination right will expire upon the Requisite Stockholder Approval having been obtained) or (ii) the Company enters into a definitive acquisition agreement to consummate an Alternative Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The expense reimbursement amount payable by the Company to Parent in this situation is $12,000,000; in addition, the Atlas Termination Fee Refund would be payable by the Company to Parent in this situation.

If the Company or Parent terminates the Merger Agreement because the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the Stockholders’ Meeting, the expense reimbursement amount payable by the Company to Parent in this situation is $12,148,000; in addition, the Atlas Termination Fee Refund would be payable by the Company to Parent in this situation.

In addition, if (i) after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the Stockholders’ Meeting a third party publicly announces and does not withdraw a Qualifying Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) the Merger Agreement is subsequently terminated by either the Company or Parent because the Termination Date has occurred or the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained, or by Parent because the Company intentionally and knowingly breached any covenant or agreement under the Merger Agreement and (iii) within 12 months of such termination, the Company consummates any Qualifying Transaction or enters into a definitive agreement providing for the consummation of any Qualifying Transaction, the expense reimbursement amount payable by the Company to Parent in this situation is $12,000,000. In addition, the Atlas Termination Fee Refund would be payable by the Company to Parent in this situation.

Financing

Parent and Acquisition Sub have obtained equity and debt financing commitments for the purpose of financing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to a capital commitment letter entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, CAM and certain of its affiliated funds that are stockholders of the Company (collectively, the “Investor Group”), as applicable, have committed to (i) capitalize Parent with an aggregate equity contribution of up to $400,000,000 (the “Cash Commitment”), (ii) transfer and contribute to Parent all of the shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Investor Group (the “Rollover Commitment”) and (iii) transfer and contribute to Parent no less than an aggregate of $796,028,000 in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of the Company owned by the Investor Group, in exchange for common equity interests and/or subordinated pay-in-kind instruments of Parent that are unsecured and non-recourse to any subsidiaries of Parent (the “Debt Securities Commitment”). Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, up to $250,000,000 of the

Cash Commitment, together with each of the Rollover Commitment and Debt Securities Commitment, will be used to satisfy Parent’s payment obligations under the Merger Agreement, including the payment of the Merger Consideration, and up to $150,000,000 of the Cash Commitment, together with each of the Rollover Commitment and Debt Securities Commitment, will be used to pay the Company’s working capital needs, short-term debt maturities and other fees and expenses relating to the consummation of the Merger. If applicable, up to $50,000,000 of the Cash Commitment will be used to pay the Company damages in the event of fraud or an intentional and knowing breach of the Merger Agreement by Parent or Acquisition Sub, and the Cash Commitment may also be used to pay any indemnification obligations owed to the Company and its affiliates pursuant to specified sections of the Merger Agreement.

Parent and its lenders have entered into a debt commitment letter, dated December 14, 2021 (the “Debt Commitment Letter”). Pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter, Parent has obtained commitments for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $550,000,000 (the “Backstop ABL Facility”); provided, however, only an aggregate amount of up to $385,000,000 will be available to be drawn under the Backstop ABL Facility to fund the transactions on the closing date. In connection with the Debt Commitment Letter, consents to amend the Company’s existing second amended and restated credit agreement (the “ABL Amendment”) will be sought from the requisite lenders to, among other changes, permit a change of control in connection with the Merger. If the requisite consents to the ABL Amendment are obtained within 40 business days (or such longer period as the lender under the Backstop ABL Facility may agree in its sole discretion) of the date of the Merger Agreement, the commitments under the Backstop ABL Facility will automatically be reduced to zero. If the requisite consents to the ABL Amendment are obtained more than 40 business days (or such longer period as the lender under the Backstop ABL Facility may agree in its sole discretion) of the date of the Merger Agreement, the lender under the Backstop ABL Facility may elect to reduce its commitments under the Backstop ABL Facility to zero. Furthermore, Parent has obtained commitments for a senior secured bridge loan facility (the “Bridge Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,125,000,000 for the purchase of certain of the Company’s existing series of notes in connection with any change of control offers made pursuant to the applicable indentures (the “Change of Control Offers”). The commitments under the Bridge Loan Facility will be automatically reduced by (i) the gross proceeds of (a) any senior secured notes offering in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,125,000,000 or (b) any other offering of debt securities, (ii) the aggregate amount of any of the Company’s existing notes that remain outstanding following (a) any Change of Control Offers and (b) any successful consent solicitations made to the holders of the Company’s existing notes effecting a waiver of any required Change of Control Offers, and (iii) $147,800,000 (less any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the loans under the Company’s existing term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Facility”) prior to the closing date of the Merger) if the consent of the requisite lenders under the Term Loan Facility to, among other changes, permit a change of control in connection with the Merger (the “Term Loan Amendment”) is obtained within 40 business days (or such longer period as the lender under the Bridge Loan Facility may agree in its sole discretion) of the date of the Merger Agreement. If the Term Loan Amendment is obtained more than 40 business days (or such longer period as the lender under the Bridge Loan Facility may agree in its sole discretion) of the date of the Merger Agreement, the lender under the Bridge Loan Facility may elect to reduce its commitments under the Bridge Loan Facility by up to $147,800,000 (less any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the loans under the Term Loan Facility prior to the closing date of the Merger). The obligations of the lenders to provide the debt financing under the Debt Commitment Letter are subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of executed loan documentation, satisfaction of the conditions to, and consummation of, the Merger, consummation of the cash, equity and debt contributions contemplated by the capital commitment letter, and other customary closing conditions for financings of this type.

Other Terms of the Merger Agreement

The Company has made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants to (i) use its reasonable best efforts to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business during the period between the date of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of the Merger Agreement and to not engage in specified types of transactions during this period, subject to certain exceptions, and (ii) prepare a proxy statement relating to the approval by the stockholders of the Company of the Merger Agreement (the “Proxy Statement”) within 15 days after the date of the Merger Agreement, and to hold the Stockholders’ Meeting within 40 days following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to stockholders.

As required by, and concurrently with the execution of, the Merger Agreement, CAM and the Company caused to be filed a stipulation staying the action pending before the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned Chatham Asset Management, LLC v. Pope, et al., C.A. No. 2021-0976-KSJM (Del. Ch.) (the “Chatham Litigation”). In the Merger Agreement, Parent and Acquisition Sub have agreed not to, and to cause their affiliates not to, encourage, facilitate, initiate or participate in the Chatham Litigation or any other similar stockholder litigation until the Merger Agreement is terminated, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Merger Agreement, and CAM has agreed to cause the Chatham Litigation to be dismissed with prejudice no later than three business days following the closing of the Merger. In addition, as required by, and concurrently with the execution of, the Merger Agreement, CAM and its applicable affiliates delivered to the Company a letter withdrawing and reserving certain other claims made by CAM and its affiliates concerning a demand under Section 220 of the DGCL and relating to the Company’s previously filed proxy statement in respect of the Atlas Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Chatham Claims”) until the earlier of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement and (ii) such time as the Company makes a Change of Recommendation, and in the Merger Agreement CAM has agreed to cause the Chatham Claims to be fully rescinded, withdrawn and terminated no later than three business days following the closing of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The summary description of the Merger Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit. The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Parent, Acquisition Sub, CAM, the Investor Group or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement as of the specific dates therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. The Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that will be contained in or attached as an annex to the Proxy Statement, as well as in the other filings that the Company will make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Rights Agreement Amendment

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, on December 14, 2021, the Board approved, and the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Rights Agent”) entered into, the Fifth Amendment to Rights Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2021 (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment amended the Rights Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2019 (the “Initial Rights Agreement”), as amended by the First Amendment to Rights Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2020 (the “First Amendment”), the Second Amendment to Rights Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2021 (the “Second Amendment”), the Third Amendment to Rights Agreement, dated as of August 27, 2021 (the “Third Amendment”), and the Fourth Amendment to Rights Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2021 (the “Fourth Amendment”), between the Company and the Rights Agent (the Initial Rights Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment, the “Rights Agreement,” and as further amended by the Fifth Amendment, the “Amended Rights Agreement”).

The Fifth Amendment modified the Rights Agreement to provide that (i) none of Parent or Acquisition Sub or any of their Affiliates (as defined in the Rights Agreement) or Associates (as defined in the Rights Agreement), either individually or together, shall be deemed to be or become an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) by virtue of, or as a result of, (A) the approval, adoption, execution, delivery or amendment of the Merger Agreement, (B) the public announcement or public disclosure of the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (C) the performance or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the

Merger Agreement (any of the foregoing actions or events, a “Permitted Event”), (ii) none of a Stock Acquisition Date, a Distribution Date, a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, a Section 13 Event or a Triggering Event (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement) will occur or be deemed to have occurred by virtue of, or as a result of, any Permitted Event and (iii) the Expiration Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) shall occur no later than immediately prior to the Effective Time (if the Effective Time shall occur). The Fifth Amendment also removed from the Rights Agreement provisions relating to the Atlas Merger Agreement, which was terminated on December 14, 2021, as described in Item 1.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Fifth Amendment is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the rights agent under the Amended Rights Agreement, also serves as the transfer agent and registrar with respect to the Company Common Stock.

Voting Agreement

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, on December 14, 2021, the Company entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent, CAM and the members of the Investor Group. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the members of the Investor Group have agreed to (i) vote to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, (ii) vote against any action, agreement or transaction that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the Company’s obligations under the Merger Agreement to close the Merger not being satisfied and any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or any other action, agreement or transaction that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, frustrate the purposes of or adversely affect the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iii) vote in favor of any other matter necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and considered and voted upon by the stockholders of the Company and (iv) waive and not exercise, assert or perfect any rights to demand appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock that may arise with respect to the Merger or dissent from the Merger.

The Voting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The summary description of the Voting Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

In a statement on Schedule 13D, as amended (most recently by Amendment No. 7 filed with the SEC on December 15, 2021), CAM disclosed that it beneficially owned 10,927,100 shares of Company Common Stock, that CAM and certain of its affiliated funds collectively owned $796,028,000 in aggregate principal amount of debt securities of the Company, and that certain of CAM’s affiliated funds are party to certain credit default swap arrangements with respect to such debt securities of the Company.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 10, 2021, the Company delivered written notice to Atlas Parent of the Board’s determination that CAM’s unsolicited proposal that CAM and its affiliates acquire all of the Company Common Stock not already owned by CAM and its affiliates for $10.85 per share in cash (the “Chatham Proposal”) constituted a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Atlas Merger Agreement), and that the Company intended to terminate the Atlas Merger Agreement for the purpose of entering into the Merger Agreement with affiliates of CAM. Pursuant to the Atlas Merger Agreement, Atlas Parent had the contractual opportunity through December 16, 2021 to negotiate an amendment of the Atlas Merger Agreement such that the Chatham Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Atlas Merger Agreement) (the “Negotiation Right”).

Following the decision by Atlas Parent to waive the Negotiation Right, on December 14, 2021, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Company delivered to Atlas Parent and Atlas Acquisition Sub a written notice terminating the Atlas Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. In connection therewith, concurrently with the termination of the Atlas Merger Agreement, (i) Parent, on behalf of the Company, paid to Atlas Parent a termination fee of $20,000,000, and (ii) the Company paid to Atlas Parent an expense reimbursement of $12,000,000, in each case as required by the terms of the Atlas Merger Agreement.

Use of Forward-Looking Statements

This document includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the safe harbor created by, the federal securities laws, including statements related to the proposed acquisition of the Company by affiliates of CAM (the “Transaction”). These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations, estimates and projections regarding, among other things, the expected date of closing of the Transaction and the potential benefits thereof, its business and industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by the Company, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “aims,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “might,” “considered,” “potential,” “estimate,” “continue,” “likely,” “target” or similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. By their nature, forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend upon future circumstances that may or may not occur, such as the consummation of the Transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements are not guarantees of

(b) Conversion of Company Securities. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive $10.85 per share of Company Common Stock in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

Section 2.2 Payment for Securities; Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Designation of Paying Agent; Deposit of Exchange Fund. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, at its sole cost and expense, designate a reputable bank or trust company (the “Paying Agent”) that is organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, the identity and the terms of appointment of which to be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as paying agent for the payment of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, and shall enter into an agreement (the “Paying Agent Agreement”) relating to the Paying Agent’s responsibilities with respect thereto, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. Immediately prior to or concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent, cash constituting an amount equal to the Aggregate Merger Consideration (such Aggregate Merger Consideration as deposited with the Paying Agent, the “Exchange Fund”). In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.1(b) (Conversion of Company Securities), Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in an amount required to make such payments in full. Parent shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (i) held for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock and (ii) applied promptly to making the payments pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (Conversion of Company Securities). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section 2.1 (Effect on Securities), except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) Procedures for Exchange.

(i) Certificates: As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time and in any event not later than the third (3rd) Business Day thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent and which shall be in the form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement (which instructions shall be in the form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify).

(ii) Book-Entry Evidence: As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time and in any event not later than the third (3rd) Business Day thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Book-Entry Evidence not held through The Depository Trust Company (and to deliver to The Depository Trust Company, in the case of holders of Book-Entry Evidence held through The Depository Trust Company) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall be in the form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify, and (B) instructions for returning such letter of transmittal in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Book-Entry Evidence shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement (which instructions shall be in the form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no holder of Book-Entry Evidence shall be required to deliver a Certificate or, in the case of holders of Book-Entry Evidence held through The Depository Trust Company, an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (Conversion of Company Securities).

(c) Timing of Exchange. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Evidence for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with, in the case of Certificates and Book-Entry Evidence not held through The Depository Trust Company, a letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, or, in the case of Book-Entry Evidence held through The Depository Trust Company, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Evidence shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Evidence upon the later to occur of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the Paying Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof), Book-Entry Evidence or “agent’s message,” and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Evidence so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Paying Agent Agreement shall provide that the Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Evidence upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Evidence on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Evidence.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Evidence for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon written demand, and any such holders prior to the Merger who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation as a general creditor thereof for payment of their claims for Merger Consideration (without any interest thereon) in respect thereof (other than Dissenting Shares and Excluded Shares), subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash held in the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Evidence immediately prior to such date on which the Exchange Fund would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Authority, shall, to the extent permissible by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent Agreement shall provide that the Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation; provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall promptly be paid to Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no investment (including any losses thereon) shall relieve Parent or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article II, and following any losses (or any diminishment of the Exchange Fund for any other reason) Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent in the amount of such losses.

(g) Withholding. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(h) Stock Transfer Book. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company.

The Company shall obtain from each Company RSU holder set forth in Section 2.3(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter a fully completed and validly executed surrender agreement providing for a cancellation and all release of rights to such Company RSU in a form mutually agreed between the Company and Parent.

Section 4.7 Financing.

(a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent has delivered to the Company (i) a true and complete copy of the executed debt commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof, from the Debt Financing Sources party thereto (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in a manner not in violation of Section 5.17(b) and together with all exhibits, schedules, amendments, supplements, modifications, term sheets, and annexes thereto, the “Debt Commitment Letter”), (ii) true and complete copies of any related executed fee letters, each dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in a manner not in violation of Section 5.17(b) and together with all exhibits, schedules, amendments, supplements, modifications, term sheets, and annexes

thereto, the “Fee Letters,” and together with the Debt Commitment Letter, the “Debt Financing Letters” ) (provided that, at the election of Parent or Acquisition Sub, the fee amounts, “flex terms,” yield or interest rate caps, original issue discount amounts, and other economic and similar terms that are confidential and the rates and fee amounts included in the “market flex” provisions (but not the covenants or other terms) in each case that are included in the Fee Letters may be redacted in a customary manner; provided, further, that no provision that could adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, termination or aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing may be redacted), pursuant to which Debt Financing Letters, and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the Debt Financing Sources party thereto have committed to lend the aggregate amount of debt financing and in the manner contemplated by the Debt Financing Letters to Acquisition Sub and engage in the other transactions contemplated therein for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (together with any alternative debt financing pursuant to Section 5.17(c), the “Debt Financing”) and (iii) a true and complete copy of the executed commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof (the “Capital Commitment Letter” and, together with the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters, the “Financing Commitments”) from each of the Capital Financing Sources pursuant to which the Capital Financing Sources have committed to, among other things, make certain investments in Parent, subject to the terms and conditions therein, the amounts set forth therein (the “Capital Financing,” and together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”). The Capital Commitment Letter expressly provides and shall continue to expressly provide that the Company is an intended third-party beneficiary thereof, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

(b) The Financing Commitments are in full force and effect as of the date of this Agreement and, as of the date of this Agreement, have not been withdrawn or terminated or otherwise amended, supplemented or modified and no such amendment, supplement or modification is contemplated. There are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to the Financing Commitments that could affect the availability or conditionality of the Debt Financing. There are no conditions precedent to the obligations to fund the full amount of the commitments under the Financing Commitments or to any other obligations of the parties under the Financing Commitments other than the conditions precedent expressly set forth in the applicable Financing Commitment. The Financing will provide Parent with immediately available U.S. funds on the Closing Date sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms contemplated hereby, including for the avoidance of doubt, to enable Parent to (i) pay all of (a) the Aggregate Merger Consideration, (b) the Debt Payoff Amount, (c) any amounts that may become payable pursuant to a change of control offer pursuant to the Company Indentures and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.3 (Company Equity Awards), and (d) all associated third-party costs and Expenses of the Merger payable by Parent, including any fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Funding Obligations” and such sufficient proceeds, the “Funds”).

(c) The Financing Commitments, in the forms so delivered, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Parent and Acquisition Sub, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto and are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against Parent and Acquisition Sub and against each of the other parties thereto, as the case may be, in each case, except that such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance moratorium, equitable principles or other similar laws, now or hereafter in effect, affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledge and agree that their respective obligations hereunder are not conditioned in any manner whatsoever upon obtaining the Funds to satisfy the Funding Obligations.

(d) As of the date hereof, Parent and Acquisition Sub have no reason to believe that the terms and conditions to the Financing shall not be satisfied by the Closing Date or that the funding contemplated in the Financing shall not be made available to Parent and Acquisition Sub on the Closing Date in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the date hereof, Parent and Acquisition Sub are not in default in the performance, observation or fulfillment of any obligation, covenant or condition contained in the Financing Commitments, and no event has occurred or circumstance exists that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could or could reasonably be likely to (i) constitute or result in a default under or breach of the Financing Commitments on the part of Parent and/or Acquisition Sub and their Affiliates, (ii) constitute or result in a failure to satisfy on or before the Closing Date a condition precedent to or other contingency to be satisfied set forth in the Financing Commitments, (iii) make any of the statements set forth in the Financing Commitments inaccurate in any material respect or (iv) otherwise result in any portion of the Financing being unavailable on the Closing Date. Parent and Acquisition Sub have fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees, if any, required by the Financing Commitments to be paid on or prior to the date hereof.

Section 4.8 Capitalization of Acquisition Sub. The authorized share capital of Acquisition Sub consists of 1,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, all of which are validly issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding share capital of Acquisition Sub is, and at the Effective Time will be, owned by Parent. Acquisition Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated hereby, and it has not conducted any business prior to the date hereof and has no, and prior to the Effective Time will have no, assets, liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those incident to its formation and pursuant to this Agreement and the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.9 Investment Intention. Parent is acquiring through the Merger the shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the distribution (as such term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act) thereof. Parent understands that the shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation will not be registered under the Securities Act or any Blue Sky Laws and cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act, any applicable Blue Sky Laws or pursuant to an exemption from any such registration.

Section 4.10 Brokers. Except for Jefferies LLC, no broker, finder, investment banker, consultant or intermediary is entitled to any investment banking, brokerage, finder’s or similar fee or commission in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 4.11 Solvency. Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries (which, for purposes of this Section 4.11, shall include the Company and its Subsidiaries). Assuming that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, that the Company has performed, in all material respects, all material obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement and that the most recent estimates, projections and forecasts of the Company and its Subsidiaries provided to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that were and continue to be reasonable, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on the Closing Date immediately following the Closing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will be Solvent at and immediately after the Effective Time. As used in this Section 4.11, the term “Solvent” means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date, (a) the Parent and Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, are able to pay their respective indebtedness and other liabilities, contingent or otherwise, as the indebtedness and other liabilities become due in the usual course of business, (b) Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, have total assets not less than the sum of such entity’s liabilities, and (c) Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of its business. For purposes of this Section 4.11, the amount of any contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

Section 4.12 Share Ownership. Except as set forth on Section 4.12 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, none of Parent, Acquisition Sub or any Capital Financing Source owns (directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, including pursuant to a derivatives contract), or has owned at any time during the three (3) years preceding the date hereof, any capital stock of the Company and none of Parent, Acquisition Sub or any Capital Financing Source holds any rights to acquire any capital stock of the Company except pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 4.13 Acknowledgment of Disclaimer of Other Representations and Warranties.

(a) [Reserved.]

(b) Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Article IV, neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub nor any other Person on behalf of Parent or Acquisition Sub makes (and Parent, on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries, and their respective Affiliates and Representatives, hereby disclaims) and the Company has not relied on, any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent, Acquisition Sub, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, operations, properties, assets, liabilities or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, including as to the accuracy or completeness of any information.

operations, assets, liabilities, conditions (financial or otherwise), prospects or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Parent and Acquisition Sub and their respective Representatives and Affiliates are not relying on, and waive any claim based on reliance on, any representation, warranty or other information of the Company or any Person except for those expressly set forth in Article III (Representations and Warranties of the Company) and (ii) no Person has been authorized by the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries or any other Person on behalf of the Company to make any representation or warranty relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective its businesses or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, and if made, such representation or warranty shall not be relied upon by Parent or Acquisition Sub as having been authorized by such entity.

In taking the foregoing actions, each of the Company and Parent shall act reasonably and as promptly and expeditiously as possible. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, obtaining any consents, approvals or waivers from Third Parties pursuant to Section 5.3(a)(ii) above or otherwise shall not be a condition to the obligations of any party to consummate the Merger.

(b) Without limiting anything in this Section 5.3, none of the parties hereto or their respective Affiliates shall extend any waiting period or comparable period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

Section 5.4 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) The Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) afford to Parent and its Representatives (and any Debt Financing Sources and their Representatives) reasonable access (and taking into account any remote working arrangement of the Company and its Subsidiaries), at Parent’s sole cost and expense, in a manner not disruptive in any material respect to the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice throughout the period commencing on the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VII (Termination, Amendment and Waiver), to the management employees, officers, properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, during such period, shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to Parent and its Representatives (including any Debt Financing Sources and their respective Representatives) all information (to the extent not publicly available) concerning the business, properties and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries as may reasonably be requested, including any financial statements, other financial data and monthly financial statements within the time such statements are customarily prepared, and, during such period (it being understood, this Section 5.4 shall not require the delivery of delivery of financial information not otherwise required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 5.17, 5.18 or 5.19 of this Agreement); provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to disclose any information to Parent or Acquisition Sub to the extent that such disclosure would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, (a) violate applicable Law or result in any breach under any confidentiality provisions of any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (b) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege; provided that the Company will inform Parent of the general nature of the document or information being withheld and reasonably cooperate with Parent in seeking to provide such document or information in a manner that would not result in violation of Law, breach of confidentiality (including by way of redaction) or the loss or waiver

of such privilege; provided, further, nothing herein shall authorize Parent or its Representatives to undertake any environmental testing involving sampling of soil, groundwater, air or other environmental medium or similar invasive techniques at any of the properties owned, operated or leased by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to provide access or make any disclosure to Parent (i) to the extent that such access or information is reasonably pertinent to a litigation where the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties or (ii) regarding matters that relate to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, including with respect to the consideration or valuation of the Merger or any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal, in each case, other than as required by the terms of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.5(b)(i), the board of directors of the Company, directly or indirectly through Subsidiaries or Representatives, may, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party that has made a bona fide written Alternative Acquisition Proposal not resulting from or arising out of a breach of Section 5.5(b)(i), and (ii) furnish nonpublic information or data relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Third Party making such Alternative Acquisition Proposal (including its Representatives) if, prior to so furnishing such information such Third Party has executed a customary confidentiality agreement for this type of transaction with the Company; provided that (A) such confidentiality agreement does not contain provisions which prohibit the Company from providing information to Parent as required in accordance with this Section 5.5(c) or that otherwise prohibits the Company from complying with the provisions of this Section 5.5(c) and (B) the Company provides to Parent and Acquisition Sub any non-public information that is provided to such Third Party that was not previously made available to Parent or Acquisition Sub, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Third Party (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours thereof); provided, further, that the board of directors of the Company shall be permitted to take an action described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) if, and only if, prior to taking such particular action, the board of directors of the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal and financial advisors that such Alternative Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal.

(d) Notices. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of its receipt thereof) (i) notify Parent of any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or any other written proposals or inquiries received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall identify the material terms and conditions thereof and the Person making any such Alternative Acquisition Proposal (or other written proposal or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal) and (ii) provide to Parent copies of any written documentation material to understanding such Alternative Acquisition Proposal which is received by the Company from the Person (or from any Representatives of such Person) making such Alternative Acquisition Proposal (or other written proposal or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal). The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (but in no event later twenty-four (24) hours), of the status and any material developments regarding any such Alternative Acquisition Proposals or any material changes to the material terms of any such Alternative Acquisition Proposal. Without limitation to the Company’s rights under Section 5.5(e) (Change of Recommendation), it is understood and agreed that any contacts, disclosures, discussions or negotiations permitted under this Section 5.5, including any public announcement that the Company or the board of directors of the Company has made any determination contemplated under this Section 5.5 to take or engage in any such actions, shall not (in and of itself) constitute a Change of Recommendation or otherwise constitute a basis for Parent or Acquisition Sub to terminate this Agreement.

(e) Change of Recommendation.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including this Section 5.5(e), the board of directors of the Company shall not (i) withdraw (or qualify, amend or modify in any manner adverse to Parent), or propose publicly to withdraw (or qualify, amend or modify in any manner adverse to Parent), the Company Recommendation or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable any Alternative Acquisition Proposal (any such action in clause (i) or (ii), a “Change of Recommendation”).

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including Section 5.5(e)(i), at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the board of directors of the Company may (A) effect a Change of Recommendation following a bona fide written Alternative Acquisition Proposal that did not result from or arise out of a breach of this Section 5.5 and which the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith, in consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, is a Superior Proposal, in each case, if and only if, the Company’s board of directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties required of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Law and the Company complies with Section 5.5(e)(iii) or (B) following receipt of a bona fide written Alternative Acquisition Proposal which the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith, in consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, is a Superior Proposal, terminate this Agreement for the purpose of entering into a definitive acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) with respect to such Superior Proposal, if, and only if, the Company’s board of directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Law and the Company complies with Section 5.5(e)(iii) and, concurrently with

entering into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, the Company terminates this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1(c)(ii) (Definitive Agreement for Superior Proposal) and pays the applicable Parent Expenses and Atlas Termination Fee Refund pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(ii) and Section 7.7, respectively.

(iii) Prior to the board of directors of the Company effecting a Change of Recommendation or causing the Company to terminate this Agreement for purposes of entering into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, in each case as permitted under Section 5.5(e)(ii), the Company shall have given Parent (A) at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the amount or form of consideration payable in connection with the applicable Alternative Acquisition Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional two (2)-Business Day period) of the Company’s intention to take such action, which shall include a description of the terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal, the identity of the Person making the Superior Proposal and a copy of any proposed definitive agreement(s) relating to such Superior Proposal and (B) an opportunity to liaise with the Company and its outside legal and financial advisors during the foregoing four (4) Business Day period (or subsequent two (2) Business Day period) to discuss the foregoing Superior Proposal and negotiate in good faith any adjustments or revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response thereto, such that such Alternative Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the board of directors of the Company may also effect a Change of Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the board of directors of the Company to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, provided that the board of directors of the Company shall have given Parent (i) at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event, which shall include a description in reasonable detail of the applicable Intervening Event, and (ii) an opportunity to liaise with the Company and its outside legal and financial advisors during the foregoing five (5)-Business Day period to discuss the foregoing Intervening Event and negotiate in good faith any adjustments or revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response thereto, such that the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would no longer be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Law.

(f) Permitted Disclosures. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the board of directors of the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law or rules and policies of the NYSE with regard to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders), so long as any such compliance rejects any Alternative Acquisition Proposal and reaffirms its recommendation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such action is permitted by Section 5.5(b), or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder.

Section 5.6 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Acquisition Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification, contribution and advancement of expenses for facts, events, acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby), now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of (or in a comparable role with) the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any person serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director or officer of (or in a comparable role with) another Person (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), as the case may be, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms (with respect to the Company’s organizational documents, it being agreed that after the Closing such rights shall be mandatory rather than permissive), and Parent shall and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to perform such obligations thereunder. Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to exculpation, indemnification, contribution, advancement of expenses and limitation of director or officer (or comparable) liability that are no less favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to the period prior to Closing than those set forth in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents as of the Closing Date, which provisions thereafter shall not, for a period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the D&O Indemnified Parties.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.6(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, Parent shall not (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any Action, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all of the D&O Indemnified Parties covered by the Action from all liability arising out of such Action.

(c) For at least six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its other Subsidiaries to, maintain in full force and effect the coverage provided by the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, employment practices liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the Closing Date and maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable (the “Existing D&O Insurance Policies”), or provide substitute policies (with insurance carriers having an A.M. Best financial strength rating of least an “A”) for the Company and the D&O Indemnified Parties who are currently covered by such Existing D&O Insurance Policies, in either case, with limits and on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the D&O Indemnified Parties than the Existing D&O Insurance Policies, covering claims arising from facts, events, acts or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated hereby (provided that Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall not be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate annual premium currently paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the Existing D&O Insurance Policies

(the “Maximum Amount”), but in such case shall purchase as much of such coverage as possible for such amount). In lieu of such insurance, prior to the Effective Time, the Company may purchase prepaid, non-cancellable six (6) year “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, employment practices liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (“Tail Coverage”), effective as of the Effective Time, with limits and on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the D&O Indemnified Parties than the Existing D&O Insurance Policies, covering claims arising from facts, events, acts or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated hereby (provided that the premium for such Tail Coverage shall not exceed the Maximum Amount, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation (or its applicable Subsidiaries) to maintain such Tail Coverage in full force and effect, without any modification, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder, in which event Parent shall cease to have any obligations under the first sentence of this Section 5.6(c)).

(d) From and after the Closing, the D&O Indemnified Parties are third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.6. The provisions of this Section 5.6 shall survive the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Party and his or her successors, heirs or representatives. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any D&O Indemnified Party in enforcing its indemnity and other rights under this Section 5.6 to the same extent and under the same conditions and procedures (and subject to the same conditions, including with respect to the advancement of expenses) (with respect to the Company’s organizational documents, it being agreed that after the Closing such rights shall be mandatory rather than permissive) as such D&O Indemnified Party is entitled on the date of this Agreement under the organizational documents of the Company (or the corresponding organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Company). The rights of each D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other applicable rights such D&O Indemnified Party may have under the respective organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, applicable Law or otherwise.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any claim (whether arising before, at or after the Closing) is made against any of the D&O Indemnified Parties on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such claim.

Section 5.7 Notification of Certain Matters. Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the this Agreement, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, (b) any Action commenced against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relates to this Agreement, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, or (c) the existence of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to cause any condition to the obligations of any party hereto to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied.

Section 5.8 Public Announcements. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 5.5 (No-Shop; Alternative Acquisition Proposals) or in connection with any dispute among the parties regarding this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the parties or their respective Affiliates shall issue any such press release or make any public statement prior to obtaining the other parties’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that no such consent shall be necessary to the extent disclosure may be required by Law, Order or applicable stock exchange rule or any listing agreement of any party hereto (and in such event, such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party prior to such disclosure) or is consistent with prior communications previously consented to by the other parties. In addition, the Company may, without Parent or Acquisition Sub’s consent, communicate to its employees, customers, suppliers and consultants; provided that such communication is consistent with prior communications of the Company not made in violation of this Section 5.8 or with any plan previously agreed to by Parent and the Company in which case such communications may be made consistent with such plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not restrict Parent’s disclosure of information regarding the transactions contemplated hereby, including information related to Parent’s determination to enter into this Agreement, in connection with fundraising, marketing, informational or reporting activities so long as such disclosures are made pursuant to a confidentiality agreement containing customary terms. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.8 shall not apply to or otherwise restrict any Company communication (including a press release or other public statement) regarding an Alternative Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 5.5 or Company communication (including a press release or other public statement) made by the Company from and after a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.5 by the board of directors of the Company.

Section 5.9 Employee Benefits.

(a) Employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time who remain employees of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates following the Effective Time are hereinafter referred to as the “Continuing Employees.” For the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the one (1)-year anniversary thereof or such shorter period during which the Continuing Employee remains in continued employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries (“Continuation Period”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to, provide for each Continuing Employee (i) at least the same base salary and wage rate provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) target short-term cash bonus opportunities (excluding equity, equity-based, retention and long-term incentive compensation, non-qualified deferred compensation, retiree health or welfare and defined benefit pension benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (for the avoidance of doubt, other than one time or special non-ordinary incentive compensation opportunities payable in connection with, or as a result of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and (iii) employee benefits (excluding retention, non- qualified deferred compensation, equity, equity-based or other long-term incentive compensation, retiree health or welfare and defined benefit pension benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate (including with respect to the proportion of employee cost) to the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee by

the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Continuation Period, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to provide, to each Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates during such period under circumstances that would have entitled such Company Employee to severance benefits if such termination had occurred prior to the Effective Time, severance payments and benefits that are no less favorable than the severance payments and benefits that such Continuing Employee would have been eligible to receive upon a termination of employment under any applicable severance plan, policy, practice or arrangement sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of such arrangement as in effect as of the date hereof, provided that such Continuing Employee may be required to execute a release of claims in a form provided or approved by Parent in connection with such Continuing Employee’s receipt of severance payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of this Section 5.9(a) shall not apply to Continuing Employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

(b) For purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits, where length of service is relevant under any health, welfare, retirement, severance or vacation benefit plan or arrangement of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Continuing Employees after the Effective Time (collectively, the “New Plans”), Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Continuing Employees who are eligible participants under such New Plans to receive service credit for service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (and any respective predecessors) to the same extent such service credit was granted under the analogous Old Plan, except (1) for benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans, (2) for purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits, (3) to the extent any such service credit would result in the duplication of benefits, or (4) for purposes of any equity-incentive plan or nonqualified deferred compensation plan. In addition and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) cause each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time or satisfaction of any other eligibility requirements, in any and all New Plans to the extent that (A) coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (collectively, the “Old Plans”) and (B) such Continuing Employee has satisfied all waiting time and other eligibility requirements under the Old Plan being replaced by the New Plan and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (A) all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent such conditions were inapplicable or waived under the comparable Old Plan and (B) any expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan (in each case, except for benefit accruals under defined benefit pension plans, for purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits). For the avoidance of doubt, any service referred to in this Section 5.9(b) shall not be recognized for purposes of eligibility for retirement vesting under equity plans of Parent or any of its Affiliates.

(c) Except as provided in Section 5.1(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause each Company Long Term Cash Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, vest in full and be paid to each such holder in full.

(d) Prior to making any written communications to the Company Employees pertaining to compensation or benefits matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and the Company shall consider any such comments (if any are received during such reasonable period of time) in good faith.

(e) Upon Parent’s reasonable request from time to time prior to Closing, the Company shall, in a reasonable period of time following receipt of such request (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such request), provide Parent with the then-most recent calculations and reasonable back-up information relating to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code relating to the Merger, including any non-compete valuations.

(f) The Company will take all actions necessary to complete the termination of the Employee Trust and the return of the trust corpus of the Employee Trust to the Company prior to the Closing.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.9 to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall (i) be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan, New Plan or any other employee benefit plans of the Company or Parent, (ii) prevent Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates from amending or terminating any of their benefit plans or, after the Effective Time, any Company Benefit Plan in accordance with their terms, (iii) prevent Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, after the Effective Time, from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee, or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any director, officer, employee or individual Person, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Continuing Employee by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates or under any benefit plan which Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates may maintain.

(h) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor the terms of each collective bargaining agreement and works council agreement until such collective bargaining agreement or works council agreement expires pursuant to its terms or is modified by the parties thereto.

Section 5.10 Company Equity Awards. No less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide Parent with an updated Outstanding Equity Award Schedule to reflect any changes between the Capitalization Date and such date, and a further updated Outstanding Equity Award Schedule as reasonably requested by Parent thereafter, in each case, to reflect any further changes between the Capitalization Date and the Effective Time.

Section 5.11 Repayment of Indebtedness.

(a) In connection with and conditioned upon the Effective Time, Parent shall (or shall cause an Affiliate to) provide and make available to the Company in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the amount necessary for the Company and its Subsidiaries to repay and discharge in full all amounts outstanding or otherwise due and owing pursuant to the terms of the financing arrangements set forth on Section 5.11 of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Company Debt”), including accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations (including penalties or other charges or amounts that become payable thereunder as a result of the prepayment thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated at the Closing or that may become due and payable at the Effective Time) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries thereunder, subject to the outcome of the Credit Agreement Consent Solicitations (collectively, the “Debt Payoff Amount”). Subject to Parent’s compliance with the previous sentence, the Company shall pay the Debt Payoff Amount to the counterparties under the Company Debt as promptly as practicable following the date the Company receives such Debt Payoff Amount. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to, on or prior to the Closing Date, provide Parent with (x) if required in connection with the Debt Financing and if the ABL Credit Agreement Consent Solicitation is not successful, a customary payoff letter and any related release documents (collectively, the “ABL Payoff Letter”) from the agent under the Existing ABL Credit Agreement and (y) if the TLB Credit Agreement Consent Solicitation is not successful, a customary payoff letter and any related release documents (collectively, the “TLB Payoff Letter”) from the agent under the Existing TLB Credit Agreement. Each of the ABL Payoff Letter (if applicable) and TLB Payoff Letter shall specify the aggregate amount of the Company’s obligations (including principal, interest, fees, expenses, premium (if any) and other amounts payable in respect of such indebtedness) that will be outstanding under such indebtedness as of the Closing and providing for a release of all Liens and guarantees thereunder upon the receipt of the respective payoff amounts specified in the ABL Payoff Letter and TLB Payoff Letter, as applicable.

(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts upon Parent’s written request to prior to Closing: (i)(x) issue a notice of redemption for the aggregate principal amount of any of the Company Notes requested by Parent in writing, pursuant to the indentures governing the Company Notes (it being understood that the Company’s 8.820% debentures due 2031 are not redeemable pursuant to their terms) (the “Company Indentures”) in order to effect a redemption at or after Closing and (y) issue any change of control offer pursuant to the terms, if any, of the Company Indentures (which offer notice may, pursuant to the terms of the Company Indentures, be issued prior to Closing only if conditioned on the occurrence of a change of control or change of control repurchase event, as the case may be, under the applicable Company Indenture), and (ii) prepare any customary ancillary documents required by the Company Indentures for such redemption, change of control offer or satisfaction and discharge, including customary officer’s certificates, resolutions of the Company, and/or legal opinions required to be issued prior to the Closing from Company’s counsel to the trustees thereunder, use reasonable best efforts to cause the trustees to cooperate and facilitate such redemption, change of control offer or satisfaction and discharge and providing any other reasonably requested information related to the Company Notes

to facilitate the redemption (including by means of any change of control offer) of the Company Notes (or, if elected by Parent, the satisfaction and discharge of any Company Indenture on the Closing Date) following the Effective Time; provided that, in each case, Company shall provide the Parent the opportunity to review and comment on such notices and any other documents in connection with this Section 5.11(b) reasonably in advance of their delivery, without the Parent being required to request such documents from the Company and the Company shall accept, in all material respects, the Parent’s comments, except to the extent they are not reasonable. In the event Parent requests that any of the Company Notes (other than the 7.000% Notes due 2022) be redeemed (including pursuant to a change of control offer) or satisfied and discharged prior to Closing, Parent shall make available to the Company prior to Closing, as applicable, all funds necessary to satisfy any obligations of the Company to the holders of the Company Notes that may arise, including (a) any funds necessary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company Notes and (b) principal, interest and any applicable premiums or consent payments in connection with the repurchase, redemption or acquisition of the Company Notes. Parent shall, promptly upon written request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent such costs, fees and expenses are incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with the Company complying with its obligations under this Section 5.11(b).

Section 5.12 No Control of the Company’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 5.1, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ operations.

Section 5.13 Rule 16b-3 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may take such actions, if any, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to ensure that the dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including any derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any officer or director of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act are exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.14 Stock Exchange Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable laws, rules and policies of the NYSE to enable (a) the delisting of the Company Common Stock from the NYSE and the termination of trading of the Company Common Stock on the Closing Date and (b) the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent acknowledges that, on the date hereof in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company has entered into the Rights Agreement Amendment, which provides that the Rights shall expire and shall cease to be exercisable effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company will not enter into a stockholder rights plan, “poison pill” or other similar agreement or arrangement that is, or at the Effective Time shall be, applicable (other than for the purpose of exempting this Agreement and such transactions therefrom) to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a) Each of the Company and Parent shall keep the other reasonably informed of, and reasonably cooperate with such party in connection with, any stockholder litigation or claim against such party or its directors or officers relating to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that no settlement in connection with such stockholder litigation shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, CAM and the Company shall execute and cause to be filed a stipulation staying the Chatham Litigation. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, make, encourage, facilitate, initiate or participate in the Chatham Litigation or any other similar stockholder litigation, including the action captioned Patodia v.

(b) Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall agree to or permit any amendments, supplements, replacements or other modifications to, obtain any replacement of, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other provision under the Debt Financing (other than to effect any flex provisions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter) without the prior written consent of the Company if (and only if) such amendments, supplements, replacements, waivers or modifications would (i) reduce the net cash proceeds available from the Debt Financing such that Parent would not have sufficient cash proceeds (after giving effect to the fundings contemplated under the Capital Commitment Letter or otherwise funded with equity proceeds) to fulfill its Funding Obligations on the Closing Date, (ii) impose any new or additional (or expand, amend or otherwise modify any existing) condition precedent to the availability of the Debt Financing that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the ability of Parent or Acquisition Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) adversely impact in any material respect the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or (iv) would otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent may amend, supplement or otherwise modify the Debt Commitment Letter (a) to (i) add lenders, lead arrangers, co-managers, bookrunners, syndication agents or any Person with similar or other roles or titles that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof and (ii) increase the amount of the Debt Financing and/or (b) to facilitate the syndication of the Debt Financing, in each case of clause (a) and (b) so long as such amendment or modification complies with this Section 5.17(b).

For purposes of this Agreement, references to “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, as hereafter amended or modified, to the extent such amendment or modification is permitted by this Section 5.17, and references to

“Debt Commitment Letter,” “Debt Financing Sources” or “Debt Financing” shall include such documents, as hereafter amended or modified (or commitments or financing sources, as applicable), to the extent permitted by this Section 5.17.

(c) In the event that (i) all or any portion of the Debt Financing becomes or would reasonably be expected to become unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (including any “flex” provisions applicable thereto), (ii) Parent or Acquisition Sub becomes aware of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to make the full amounts or any portion of the Debt Financing unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter and such portion is necessary for Parent and Acquisition Sub to satisfy the Funding Obligations on the Closing Date, or (iii) any definitive agreement with respect to the Debt Financing shall expire or be withdrawn, terminated, repudiated or rescinded, in whole or in part, for any reason, by any other party thereto, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall promptly after the occurrence of such event, (A) notify the Company in writing thereof as promptly as practicable (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) after obtaining Knowledge thereof, (B) in case of clause (i), above, use their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative debt financing in an amount sufficient to enable Parent and Acquisition Sub to satisfy its Funding Obligations on the Closing Date that does not impose (i) any conditions that would, taken as a whole, be materially less favorable to Parent and Acquisition Sub than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, or (ii) any terms that prevent, delay or impair the ability of Parent and Acquisition Sub to obtain the Debt Financing or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, as compared to the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof, taking into account any flex provisions thereof as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event (the “Alternative Financing”) and (C) obtain and deliver a debt commitment letter and/or definitive financing agreements to the Company with respect to such Alternative Financing, including true and complete copies of any related executed fee letters (provided that, solely with respect to any such fee letters, the fee amounts and other economic terms may be redacted in a customary manner from such true and complete copies) (collectively, including all exhibits, schedules, amendments, supplements, modifications and annexes thereto, a “New Debt Commitment Letter”); provided that neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall be required to arrange or obtain any Alternative Financing having terms and conditions (including any flex provisions applicable thereto) less favorable in all material respects, taken as a whole, to Parent and/or Acquisition Sub than those contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (including any flex provisions applicable thereto). For purposes of this Agreement, references to “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by any Alternative Financing and New Debt Commitment Letter to the extent permitted by this Section 5.17, and references to “Debt Commitment Letter,” “Debt Financing Sources,” or “Debt Financing” shall include such documents (or commitments or financing sources, as applicable) in connection with any Alternative Financing and New Debt Commitment Letter to the extent permitted by this Section 5.17.

(d) Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the availability, the terms nor the obtaining of the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing, nor the completion of any issuance of securities contemplated by the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing, is in any manner a condition to the Merger, the Closing or the obligations of Parent and/or Acquisition Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Parent and/or Acquisition Sub shall (i) furnish the Company with complete, correct and executed copies of each amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of the Financing Commitments promptly upon their execution, (ii) as promptly as practicable (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) after obtaining Knowledge thereof, give the Company prompt written notice of (x) any breach or default or threatened breach or default, including the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any financing source with respect to any actual or threatened (in writing) breach or default by any party to the Financing Commitments and/or any Definitive Financing Agreement of which Parent or Acquisition Sub becomes aware as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) after obtaining knowledge thereof, (y) any actual or threatened (in writing) withdrawal, repudiation or termination of the Financing Commitments and/or any Definitive Financing Agreement, including the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any financing source with respect to any actual or threatened withdrawal, repudiation or termination by any party to the Financing or (z) the occurrence of any incurable event or circumstance that makes a condition precedent relating to the Financing unable to be satisfied by any party, and (iii) notify the Company promptly if for any reason Parent or Acquisition Sub no longer believes in good faith that it will be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments on the terms described therein. In the event that Parent and/or Acquisition Sub commences an enforcement action to enforce its rights under any agreement in respect of the Debt Financing or to cause any Debt Financing Source to fund all or any portion of the Debt Financing, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of such enforcement action.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be deemed to have breached its obligations hereby as a result of Parent’s failure to prepare the pro forma financial statements as part of the Required Information.

Section 5.19 Consent Solicitation; Debt Offers; Company Additional Secured Notes.

(a) The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of a written request from Parent or Acquisition Sub to do so (and in any event, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below, within forty (40) Business Days following such request, subject to extension as may be reasonably agreed between the Company and Parent), (i) commence a consent solicitation with respect to any or all of the Company’s outstanding Company Notes, on such terms and conditions, including pricing and timing terms, as specified by Parent following consultation with the Company and its legal counsel, and which terms are reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its legal counsel (any Notes COC Consent Solicitations described in sub clause (x) below and where the fee is payable by Parent and any other conditions to such offer do not take effect until the Effective Time is understood to be satisfactory), to amend or waive the provisions of the indenture applicable to each series of Company Notes with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of such series (x) such that no offer to repurchase the Company Notes will be required as a result of any “Change of Control Triggering Event” or “Change of Control” (as defined in the applicable indentures for the Company Notes) occurring in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) solicit the consent of the holders of each series of Company Notes regarding certain proposed amendments to the Company Indenture governing such series of Company Notes as determined by Parent and in compliance with applicable law (including SEC rules and regulations) and the provisions of the Company Indentures governing the applicable series of Company Notes, which amendments may include the elimination of all or substantially all of the restrictive covenants and may include certain other provisions contained in the Company Indenture governing such series of Company Notes that can be eliminated or included upon the consent of the holders of a majority of the principal amount thereof and that would become operative at the Effective Time, and where any consent fee or dealer manager, or similar fee, is paid by Parent as set forth in Section 5.19(d) hereof (collectively, the “Notes COC Consent Solicitations”), (ii) seek the consent of the Required Lenders under the Existing ABL Credit Agreement (as such term is defined therein), on such terms and conditions as may be specified by Parent or Acquisition Sub to amend or waive the Existing ABL Credit Agreement with the consent of Required Lenders (as defined therein) to provide that no repayment of any loans or other extensions of credit thereunder will be required as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including pursuant to Sections 8.01, 8.06, 8.07 and 9.01(g) of the Existing ABL Credit Agreement and such other amendments to or waivers of the applicable provisions of the Existing ABL Credit Agreement as may be reasonably requested in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “ABL Credit Agreement Consent Solicitation”), (iii) seek the consent of the Required Lenders under the Existing TLB Credit Agreement (as such term is defined therein), on such terms and conditions as may be specified by Parent or Acquisition Sub to amend or waive the Existing TLB Credit Agreement with the consent of Required Lenders (as defined therein) to provide that no repayment of any loans or other extension of credit thereunder will be required as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.03, 6.05, 6.06 and 7.01(l) of the Existing TLB Credit Agreement and such other amendments to or waivers of the applicable provisions of the Existing TLB Credit Agreement as may be reasonably requested in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “TLB Credit Agreement Consent Solicitation” and, together with the ABL Credit Agreement Consent Solicitation, the “Credit Agreement Consent Solicitations”) and (iv) commence one or more exchange offers or tender offers (which may be a “Change of Control Offer” under the Company Notes) to purchase or exchange all or a portion of the Company Notes on such terms and amounts and for such consideration (including the issuance of new notes) as determined by Parent, using one or more offering memoranda, offers to purchase or similar documents (the “Tender Offers” and together with the Notes COC Consent Solicitation and the Credit Agreement Consent Solicitations, the “Debt Offers” and together with all related documentation, amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”). Subject to the

following sentence, the Company or its Subsidiaries shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Agreement that would result in the incurrence of any indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the foregoing shall not restrict the Company and its Subsidiaries from (a) assisting Parent to incur indebtedness at an escrow entity that will be merged with the Company substantially contemporaneously with the Effective Time or incurring indebtedness as an escrow entity that will be assumed by the Company substantially contemporaneously with the Effective Time or (b) incurring any indebtedness that would constitute “Additional Notes” under the Company Indenture governing the Company Existing Secured Notes (the “Company Additional Secured Notes”) if (i) such indebtedness is permitted by the Company Indentures, the Existing ABL Credit Agreement and the Existing TLB Credit Agreement (as reasonably determined by the Company in consultation with Parent), including following the effectiveness of any consents obtained in connection with the Debt Offers and taking into account any expected borrowings under a revolving credit facility to be incurred at or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) with respect to any Company Additional Secured Notes that are issued initially by the Company, such Company Additional Secured Notes shall require the Company to redeem such Company Additional Secured Notes if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated within fifteen (15) calendar days following the issuance thereof or an extended period as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company to the extent permissible under the terms of such Company Additional Secured Notes and only if such Company Additional Secured Notes would still be fungible for tax purposes with the Company Existing Secured Notes, (iii) Parent deposits or causes to be deposited any premium, accrued interest or underwriting or similar fee to be paid if any mandatory redemption or repayment occurs with respect to all or any portion of such indebtedness prior to the Effective Time, it being understood that with respect to any Company Additional Secured Notes, such premiums, interest, fees and other amounts shall be deposited by Parent into the escrow account that holds the proceeds from the issuance of the Company Additional Secured Notes on the date of the issuance of the Company Additional Secured Notes no matter the initial issuer of such notes (and for the avoidance of doubt, any underwriting or similar fee shall only be required to be deposited to the extent such fee is required to be paid upon a mandatory redemption or repayment), (iv) in the case of any Company Additional Secured Notes, such notes would, not later than substantially contemporaneously with the Effective Time, trade fungibly with the Company Existing Secured Notes and would not, prior to the Effective Time, subject the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to any affirmative or negative covenants (other than any mandatory redemption, escrow or repayment provisions as set forth above or as otherwise would be customary for an “add-on” offering of similar securities) that differ in any respect (as reasonably determined by the Company) from those to which the Company and/or its Subsidiaries are subject to as of the date of this Agreement (but after giving effect to any consents obtained with respect to the Company Existing Secured Notes in connection with the Debt Offers) under the Company Existing Secured Notes and (v) for the avoidance of doubt, Parent agrees to indemnify the Financing Indemnitees (as defined below) as set forth in Section 5.19(f) hereof. The proceeds of such indebtedness shall be deposited into escrow under customary escrow arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Company in consultation with Parent and the release of the proceeds thereof into the Exchange Fund to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to, among other things, the substantially contemporaneous occurrence of the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that counsel to Parent reasonably determines (in consultation with counsel to the Company) that an issuance of

debt securities would ultimately be fungible for tax purposes with the Company Existing Secured Notes (and otherwise meet the requirements of “Additional Notes” under the Company Indenture governing the Company Existing Secured Notes) if initially issued by an escrow or other entity upon (i) a merger of such entity with the Company substantially contemporaneously with the Effective Time or (ii) the assumption by the Company substantially contemporaneously with the Effective Time of such debt securities, then the Company shall not be required to issue any Company Additional Secured Notes prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Any Offer Documents and all material requested to be published or mailed to in connection with the Debt Offers shall be prepared by the Parent or at the Parent’s request by the Company in consultation with Parent and subject to the prior review (which review shall be made as promptly as reasonably practicable) and comment by Parent. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to assist any solicitation agent(s) in connection with the Debt Offers. With respect to any consent solicitation, assuming the requisite consents have been received with respect to such series of Company Notes, the Existing ABL Credit Agreement and/or the Existing TLB Credit Agreement or the issuance of any Company Additional Secured Notes in accordance with Section 5.19(a) hereof, the Company shall, and as applicable, cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) execute indentures or supplemental indentures to the applicable Company Indentures governing each series of Company Notes or an amendment to the Existing ABL Credit Agreement or the Existing TLB Credit Agreement and provide all documents required in connection therewith, (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause the trustee under each such Company Notes indenture and lenders and/or agent under the Existing ABL Credit Agreement or the Existing TLB Credit Agreement to enter into such supplemental indenture or amendment prior to or substantially simultaneously with the execution thereof by the Company, which may occur prior to the Closing Date and (iii) deliver all documentation reasonably requested in connection with or necessary to effectuate the Debt Offers or the issuance of any Company Additional Secured Notes in accordance with Section 5.19(a) hereof, including customary legal opinions of Company counsel, delivery of corporate resolutions by the Company authorizing the Debt Offers or the issuance of any Company Additional Secured Notes in accordance with Section 5.19(a) hereof, customary officer’s certificates of the Company, press releases, SEC filings, new indentures, and notes as part of the Tender Offer, if applicable, notices and any other customary documents reasonably required in connection with the Debt Offers or any issuance of Company Additional Secured Notes in accordance with Section 5.19(a) hereof, which may be prior to Closing, it being understood that Parent’s counsel shall provide all legal opinions required in connection with the Debt Offers or the issuance of any Company Additional Secured Notes to the extent required after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or its legal counsel be required to deliver an opinion with respect to a Debt Offer, the issuance of Company Additional Secured Notes or otherwise that in the opinion of the Company or its legal counsel does not comply with the applicable Contracts, laws, rules, regulations or court decisions or an opinion with respect to the defeasance of the Company Notes.

(c) If at any time prior to the completion of any Debt Offer any information should be discovered by the Company or by Parent or Acquisition Sub that the Company or Parent or Acquisition Sub reasonably believes should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Offer Documents, so that the Offer Documents shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,

the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party, and an appropriate amendment or supplement prepared by Parent (with the reasonable assistance of the Company) describing such information shall be disseminated by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of the applicable Company Notes and/or the lenders and agents under the Existing ABL Credit Agreement. The parties shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable, and any other applicable laws in connection with any Debt Offer.

(d) Parent shall select and pay the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any dealer manager, information agent, exchange agent, depositary or other agent retained in connection with any Debt Offer, and pay all consent fees (or provide the Company or such Subsidiary with the funds required therefor in advance of the required payment thereof) payable in connection with any Debt Offer. At Parent’s expense, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent that is necessary or reasonably required in connection with a Debt Offer, including, without limitation, (i) to the extent required by the policies or procedures of the Depository Trust Company in connection with any Debt Offer, (ii) executing supplemental indentures to the Company Indentures governing each series of Company Notes and/or an amendment to the Existing ABL Credit Agreement or the Existing TLB Credit Agreement (that other than in the case of the Note COC Consent Solicitations will become operative only immediately upon the Effective Time), and (iii) using reasonable best efforts to cause the trustee under each such Company Indenture and the lenders and/or agent under the Existing ABL Credit Agreement or the Existing TLB Credit Agreement to enter such supplemental indenture and/or amendment prior or substantially simultaneously with execution thereof by the Company, and (iv) providing the information necessary to distribute the applicable Offer Documents to the holders of the applicable series of Company Notes and/or the lenders and agents under the Existing ABL Credit Agreement or the Existing TLB Credit Agreement.

(e) The Company shall not be required to take any action in connection with any Debt Offer or otherwise as contemplated by this Section 5.19 that it believes, after consultation with counsel, would reasonably be expected to (i) cause the Company to violate federal or state laws, (ii) cause the Company to violate the provisions of the Company Indentures governing the applicable series of Company Notes, the Existing ABL Credit Agreement, the Existing TLB Credit Agreement or any Contract as of the date hereof, to the extent that such violation would be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, or (iii) require the Company or its Subsidiaries to agree to pay any fees, reimburse any expenses or otherwise incur any liability or give any indemnities prior to the Effective Time unless Parent reimburses or is required to reimburse or indemnify the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall not be required to enter into any amendment to the Existing ABL Credit Agreement or the Existing TLB Credit Agreement to take effect prior to the Closing Date which would be adverse in any material respect to the Company (it being understood and agreed that any amendment or waiver to effect the Credit Agreement Consent Solicitations shall not be deemed to be adverse in any material respect to the Company). It is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that the failure to obtain the consent of the holders (in and of itself) of the Company Notes or the consent of the requisite lenders under the Existing ABL Credit Agreement or the Existing TLB Credit Agreement in connection with any Debt Offer and the completion of any Debt Offer shall not be deemed to be a breach by the Company under this Agreement or a failure of any condition hereto.

(f) Parent shall, promptly upon written request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including professional fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys’ fees, dealer manager or tender agent fees and fees and expenses of other advisors, investment banks or lenders) to the extent such costs are incurred by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries in connection with activities of the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives (including counsel) in connection with any Debt Offer or otherwise as contemplated pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.19, including in any offer and issuance of Company Additional Secured Notes, and Parent will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Financing Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs (including cost of investigation), settlement payments, injuries, liabilities, judgments, awards, penalties, fines or expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by them in connection with any Debt Offer or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.19, any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided in writing to Parent by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company) for inclusion in the Offer Documents or any misuse of the logos or marks of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, except to the extent that such losses, damages, claims, costs (including cost of investigation), settlement payments, injuries, liabilities, judgments, awards, penalties, fines or expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and disbursements) are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen out of or resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Financing Indemnitee. Each Financing Indemnitee is intended to be a third party beneficiary of this Section 5.19(f), with full rights of enforcement as if a party hereto.

Section 5.20 Company Disclosure Letter; VDR; Other Matters.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to have been delivered to Parent and Acquisition Sub prior to the execution of this Agreement, notwithstanding the fact that it will be delivered to Parent concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and the execution of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the materials, information and contents of the VDR shall be deemed to have been delivered, made available or otherwise provided to Parent and Acquisition Sub and their respective Representatives prior to the date of this Agreement, notwithstanding the fact that they will be delivered to Parent concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and the execution of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c) Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub knowingly and voluntarily acknowledges that it and its Representatives and Affiliates shall, for purposes of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Capital Commitment Letter and the Voting Agreement, be deemed to have received, prior to the date of this Agreement, full and complete access to and the contents of (i) the books and records, facilities, properties, employees, advisors, premises, equipment, Contracts and other properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) the Company Disclosure Letter and (iii) the VDR. Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub, on behalf of itself and its respective Representatives and Affiliates, waives to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection or claim which it may now or hereafter have with respect to this Section 5.20 and the matters covered hereby, including any claim, argument, or remedy premised on any claim or argument, that the contents of (i) the books and records, facilities, properties, employees, advisors, premises, equipment, Contracts and other properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) the Company Disclosure Letter or (iii) the VDR, were concealed, misdescribed, misrepresented or otherwise not disclosed prior to execution of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Capital Commitment Letter or the Voting Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s withdrawal, termination or abandonment of any filing with any Governmental Authority (including the Proxy Statement (as defined under the Atlas Agreement) and under any Antitrust Laws) in connection with the Atlas Agreement shall not be a breach of any provision of this Agreement.

In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated and the Merger abandoned pursuant to Section 7.1 (Termination), written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and of no effect without liability on the part of any party hereto (or any of its Representatives), and all rights and obligations of any party hereto shall cease; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.3 (Expense Reimbursement), no such termination shall relieve any party hereto of any liability or damages (which the parties hereto acknowledge and agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of Expenses or out-of-pocket costs) resulting from fraud or Intentional Breach of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement prior to such termination (it being acknowledged and agreed, without limitation, that any failure by Parent or Acquisition Sub to consummate the Merger at any time at which the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(iii) (Failure to Consummate the Merger) shall be an Intentional Breach by Parent and Acquisition Sub), in which case, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.3 (Expense Reimbursement), the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or in equity; provided, further, that (i) the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 7.2 (Effect of Termination), Section 7.3 (Expense Reimbursement), Section 7.6 (Expenses; Transfer Taxes) and Article VIII (General Provisions) shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 (Termination) in accordance with their respective terms and (ii) the Parent’s and its Representatives’ indemnification, expense reimbursement and other obligations under Section 5.17 or Section 5.18 in favor or for the benefit of the Company and its Representatives shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 (Termination) until fully performed or discharged in accordance with their terms.

Section 7.3 Expense Reimbursement.

(a) Expense Reimbursement Triggers: In the event that:

(i) (A) After the date hereof and prior to the time of the Stockholders’ Meeting there shall have been publicly announced and not withdrawn an Alternative Acquisition Proposal (provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 7.3(a)(i), the references to “twenty percent (20%)” in the definition of “Alternative Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to references to “fifty percent (50%)”) (a “Qualifying Transaction”), (B) this Agreement is subsequently terminated by (x) the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) (Termination Date) or Section 7.1(b)(iii) (Requisite Stockholder Approval), or (y) by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(i) (Breach or Failure to Perform) as a result of an Intentional Breach of the Company’s covenant or agreement under this Agreement by the Company, and (C) within twelve (12) months of such termination of this Agreement, the Company consummates any Qualifying Transaction or enters into a definitive agreement providing for the consummation of any Qualifying Transaction;

(ii) [Reserved.]

(iii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(ii) (Definitive Agreement for Superior Proposal); or

(iv) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) (Change of Recommendation; Alternative Acquisition Proposal), then the Company shall, (A) in the case of Section 7.3(a)(i) above, no later than two (2) Business Days following the date that is the earlier of (x) the execution of the definitive agreement in respect of such Qualifying Transaction and (y) the consummation of such Qualifying Transaction, (B) in case of Section 7.3(a)(iii) above, as a condition to such termination, and (C) in the case of Section 7.3(a)(iv) above, no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination, pay, or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, at the direction of Parent, the Parent Expenses in an amount equal to $12,000,000; provided, further, that in the event that any Parent Expenses have been previously paid pursuant to the last sentence hereof, no Parent Expenses shall be payable pursuant to the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (other than the immediately preceding proviso), in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Parent Expenses on more than one occasion. If the Company or Parent shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) (Requisite Stockholder Approval), then the Company shall pay to Parent, not later than two (2) Business Days after notice of the termination of this Agreement, Parent Expenses in an amount equal to $12,148,000.

(b) Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but subject to Section 8.9 (Specific Performance), (i) Parent’s receipt in full of the Parent Expenses pursuant to Section 7.3(a), in circumstances where such Parent Expenses are owed pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i), Section 7.3(a)(iii) or Section 7.3(a)(iv), (ii) Parent’s receipt in full of the Atlas Termination Fee Refund pursuant to Section 7.7 (Atlas Payment) in circumstances where such payment is owed and (iii) Parent’s receipt in full of Parent Expenses in an amount equal to $12,148,000 in the circumstances where such Parent Expenses are paid pursuant to the last sentence of the paragraph immediately preceding this paragraph, in each case as applicable, other than in connection with an Intentional Breach by the Company, shall constitute the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Parent and Acquisition Sub against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective direct or indirect, former, current or future stockholders, members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates or successors or assignees of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon payment of such amount, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except that the Company shall also be obligated with respect to Section 7.3(c) and Section 7.6 (Expenses; Transfer Taxes), as applicable).

(c) Acknowledgement. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the reimbursement of the Parent Expenses is not a penalty, but is the amount that will reimburse the Parent for actual and incurred costs and expenses in the circumstances in which such reimbursement is payable, for the efforts and resources expended while negotiating this Agreement and (iii) without these agreements, the parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement. If the Company fails to pay promptly the amounts due pursuant to Section 7.3(a), the Company will also pay for Parent’s reasonable and documented third-party costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) if Parent commences the filing of any lawsuit or other legal action against the Company taken to collect payment and such suit ultimately results in a judgment against the Company for the payment of the applicable amount due pursuant to Section 7.3(a), together with interest on the unpaid amount under this Section 7.3, accruing from its due date, at an interest rate per annum equal to two percentage points in excess of the prime commercial lending rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal. Any change in the interest rate hereunder resulting from a change in such prime rate will be effective at the beginning of the date of such change in such prime rate.

Section 7.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the Company and Parent at any time before or after receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that after the Requisite Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall not be any amendment that by Law or in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such further approval of such stockholders; provided, further, any amendment to this Section 7.4 or Section 8.5, Section 8.7, Section 8.8, Section 8.10(b), Section 8.12, or Section 8.13, in each case to the extent such amendment would affect the rights of a Debt Financing Source, shall also be approved by such Debt Financing Source. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

Section 7.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable Law, any party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance for its benefit of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties made to it by another party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement or condition for its benefit contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall only be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Parent or Acquisition Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Section 7.6 Expenses; Transfer Taxes. Except as expressly set forth herein (including the following sentence) and the Atlas Termination Fee, which the Parent has paid or caused to be paid on behalf of the Company, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such Expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated; provided that Parent shall be responsible for and pay all costs and Expenses in connection with the filings of the notification and report forms under any Antitrust Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All transfer, stamp and documentary Taxes or fees and sales, use, gains, real property transfer and other similar Taxes or fees arising out of or in connection with entering into and carrying out this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger, shall be apportioned among Parent and the Company in accordance with applicable local customs.

Section 7.7 Atlas Payment. The Parent agrees that, at or prior to the time at which the Atlas Termination Fee became due and payable by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Atlas Agreement, the Parent shall have made (or shall have caused to be made) such payment (the “Atlas Payment”), and the Company agrees that it shall have validly terminated the Atlas Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Atlas Agreement. If the Merger does not occur, upon the termination of this Agreement (a) pursuant to (1) Section 7.1(c)(ii) (Definitive Agreement for Superior Proposal), (2) Section 7.1(d)(i) (Breach or Failure to Perform) or (3) Section 7.1(d)(ii) (Change of Recommendation; Alternative Acquisition Proposal) or (b) in any circumstance where reimbursement of Parent Expenses is owed pursuant to Section 7.3 (for the avoidance of doubt, in any of the circumstances contemplated by Section 7.3(a)), then, in each case, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days of such termination, pay, or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to Parent an amount equal to $20,000,000 as reimbursement for the Atlas Payment made by Parent (the “Atlas Termination Fee Refund”); it being understood that (x) the Atlas Termination Fee Refund shall be paid in addition to any required reimbursement of the Parent Expenses under Section 7.3 and (y) in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Atlas Termination Fee Refund on more than one occasion.

Section 8.3 Interpretation; Certain Definitions.

(a) The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Disclosure of any fact, circumstance or information in any Section of the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be disclosure of such fact, circumstance or information with respect to any other Section of the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, respectively, if it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure relates to any such other Section. The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment, in and of itself, that the information is required to be disclosed, that such item did not arise in the ordinary course of business or in a manner consistent with past practice, or admission or evidence of materiality of such item or that a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, has occurred, nor shall it establish any standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.

(c) The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” References to articles, sections, clauses, paragraphs, exhibits, annexes and schedules are to the articles, sections, clauses and paragraphs of, and exhibits, annexes and schedules to, this Agreement, unless otherwise specified, and the table of contents and headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Words describing the singular number shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa, words denoting any gender shall be deemed to include all genders, words denoting natural persons shall be deemed to include business entities and vice versa and references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. The phrases “the date of this Agreement” and “the date hereof” and terms or phrases of similar import shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the Preamble. When used in reference to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the term “material” shall be measured against the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. References to any statute or Law shall be deemed to refer to such statute or Law as amended from time to time and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (provided that for purposes of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that are made as of a specific date or dates, references to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute, as amended, and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case, as of such date). Terms defined in the text of this Agreement have such meaning throughout this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement, and all terms defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. All references to “dollars” or “$” refer to currency of the United States of America. All references to “U.S.” or the “United States” are to the United States of America, including its territories and possessions. Any reference to “days” means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. Unless otherwise specified, the words “made available to,” “delivered to,” “provided to” or “furnished to” Parent or Acquisition Sub (or words of similar import) include the documents posted to the VDR prior to the execution of this Agreement (without limitation to, and to be read consistent with, Section 5.20). The word “or” is not exclusive.

Section 8.4 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties intend that the remedies and limitations thereon contained in Section 7.3(b) (Exclusive Remedy) be construed as an integral provision of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that increases a party’s liability or obligations hereunder.

Section 8.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that, without such consent, (i) Parent may assign this Agreement after prior notice to the Company, to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (except any such assignment which would, or would reasonably be expected to, prevent, delay or impair the ability of Parent or Acquisition Sub to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Financing) or (ii) on or after the Effective Time, Parent or Acquisition Sub may assign its respective rights under this Agreement to any Debt Financing Sources pursuant to the terms of the Debt Financing for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning as collateral in respect of the Debt Financing (however, such assignment will not relieve Parent or Acquisition Sub of its obligations hereunder); provided, further, that in the event Parent or Acquisition Sub assigns this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.5, the Financing Commitments shall be modified as applicable to reflect such assignment (it being understood that any such assignment shall be null and void until such modifications are so made). Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 8.5 shall be null and void.

Section 8.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the schedules and appendices hereto) constitutes, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter, the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 8.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that it is specifically intended that (A) the D&O Indemnified Parties (with respect to Section 5.6 (Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance) and Section 5.16(b) from and after the Effective Time), (B) the Financing Indemnitees (with respect to Section 5.19(f) (Consent Solicitation; Debt Offers; Company Additional Secured Notes)), (C) the Company Related Parties (with respect to Section 7.3 (Expense Reimbursement)), (D) the holders of the Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards (with respect to Article II (Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock; Exchange of Certificates) from and after the Effective Time), and (E), the Debt Financing Sources (with respect to Section 7.4 (Amendment), Section 8.5 (Assignment), Section 8.8 (Governing Law), Section 8.10(b) (Consent to Jurisdiction), Section 8.12 (WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL), Section 8.13 (Debt Financing Sources) and this Section 8.7 (No Third- Party Beneficiaries)), in each case are express third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

Section 8.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and all Actions (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (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.

Section 8.9 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the right of a party hereto to cause the other parties hereto to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the right of the Company to cause Parent to fully enforce the terms of the Capital Commitment Letter against the Capital Financing Sources, subject to the terms set forth therein), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or any other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order.

(b) To the extent any party hereto brings an Action to specifically enforce the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an Action to enforce specifically any provision that expressly survives the termination of this Agreement), the Termination Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the third (3rd) Business Day following the resolution of such Action or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

Section 8.10 Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby (a) expressly and irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state courts of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any Action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, (d) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and (e) agrees that each of the other parties hereto shall have the right to bring any Action for enforcement of a judgment entered by the state courts of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees: (i) that any proceeding, whether in Law or in equity, in contract, in tort, or otherwise, involving the Debt Financing Sources arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the performance of services thereunder or related thereto, will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the state of New York in the borough of Manhattan and any appellate court thereof, and each of the parties hereto submits for itself and its property with respect to any such proceeding, to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court; (ii) not to bring or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support anyone in bringing any such proceeding in any other court, or (iii) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such proceeding in any such court; and (iv) any such proceeding will be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would case the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York; provided, however, that on or prior to the Closing Date, the definition of Company Material Adverse Effect and the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall, for the purposes of the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements executed in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the choice of law doctrine of such state.

(c) Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 8.10(a) in any such Action by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to its address as specified in or pursuant to Section 8.2 (Notices). However, the foregoing shall not limit the right of a party to effect service of process on the other party by any other legally available method.

Section 8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall together be considered one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 8.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, ACQUISITION SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER, THE DEBT FINANCING, ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, ACQUISITION SUB OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.12.

Section 8.13 Debt Financing Sources.

Section 6.05 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) This Agreement, and any dispute, claim, legal action, suit, proceeding or controversy arising out of or relating hereto, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (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. Each of the parties hereto hereby (a) expressly and irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state courts of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any Action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, (d) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and (e) agrees that each of the other parties hereto shall have the right to bring any Action for enforcement of a judgment entered by the state courts of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 6.06 Specific Performance. (a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or any other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order.

Section 6.10 Capacity. The Principal Stockholders are signing this Agreement solely in the Principal Stockholders’ capacity as stockholders of the Company and not in any other capacity, and this Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect any actions taken, or required or permitted to be taken, by the Principal Stockholders or any Affiliate or Representative of the Principal Stockholders or any of its Affiliates in any other capacity.

such party and in no event shall any party be liable for breaches of this Agreement by any other party hereto.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in the Company or Parent any direct or indirect ownership or incident of ownership of or with respect to any Shares.
