(a)Organizational Documents. At the Effective Time (i) the Company Charter, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth inExhibit B, and as so amended and restated shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and (ii) the Company Code shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as the code of regulations of Sub, as in effect immediately prior to

the Effective Time, and as so amended and restated, shall be the code of regulations of the Surviving Corporation (except that references to the name of Sub shall be replaced by references to the name of the Surviving Corporation), in each case until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law and the applicable provisions of the articles of incorporation and code of regulations of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)Directors.

ARTICLE II.

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

Section 2.01Conversion of Securities.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Sub, the Company or the holders of any capital stock of the Company, Parent or Sub:

(i)Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Excluded Shares, but including Shares of Restricted Stock as provided inSection 2.03(c), shall automatically be converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive $50.00 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes, and all of such Shares automatically shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such a Share (a “Certificate”) or such anon-certificated Share represented immediately prior to the Effective Time by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) (in each case, other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter automatically be cancelled and cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration (subject to any required Tax withholdings as provided inSection 2.05) without interest thereon in accordance with, and subject to the conditions of, thisArticle II.

(ii)Cancellation of Company-Owned Shares and Parent-Owned Shares. All Shares that are held in the treasury of the Company or owned of record by any wholly-owned Company Subsidiary and all Shares owned of record by Parent or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, with no payment being made with respect thereto.

(iii)Capital Stock of Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Sub shall be automatically converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, without par value, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)Merger Consideration Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the number of outstanding Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization,split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

Section 2.02Exchange of Certificates; Payment for Shares.

(a)Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate Computershare Trust Company N.A. or another U.S.-based nationally recognized financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of Shares to receive the funds to which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to this Agreement. At the Closing and prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the Aggregate Common Stock Consideration (other than amounts attributable to Shares of Restricted Stock) (the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall be for the benefit of the holders of Shares that are entitled to receive the Merger Consideration (other than Shares of Restricted Stock). In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by thisSection 2.02, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash sufficient to make such payments. Funds made available to the Paying Agent shall be invested by the Paying Agent, as directed by Parent, in short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of Shares pursuant to thisSection 2.02;provided, that no investment of such deposited funds shall relieve Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent from promptly making the payments required by thisSection 2.02, and following any losses from any such investment that result in the Exchange Fund being insufficient to make the payments contemplated by thisSection 2.02, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for the benefit of the holders of Shares (other than Shares of Restricted Stock), an amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to make the Exchange Fund sufficient to make such payments, which additional funds will be held and disbursed in the same manner as funds initially deposited with the Paying Agent to make the payments contemplated by thisSection 2.02. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as Parent directs. Parent shall direct the Paying Agent to hold the Exchange Fund for the benefit of the former holders of Shares (other than Shares of Restricted Stock) and to make payments from the Exchange Fund in accordance with thisSection 2.02. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to thisSection 2.02, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b)Procedures for Surrender.

(i)Certificated Shares. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant toSection 2.01(a)(i): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance withSection 2.02(e)) to the Paying Agent and shall otherwise be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify, subject to the reasonable consent of the Company, and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificate in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of such a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance withSection 2.02(e)) for cancellation to the Paying Agent, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificate, together with such other customary documents as may reasonably be requested by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall, subject toSection 2.02(d), be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the portion of the Aggregate Common Stock Consideration into which the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate were converted pursuant toSection 2.01(a)(i), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made and the Merger Consideration may be issued to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and the person requesting such payment shall pay to Parent or the Paying Agent any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent and Parent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid.

(ii)Book-Entry Shares. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Book-Entry Share whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant toSection 2.01(a)(i) customary instructions for effecting the transfer of the Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration for each such Share evidenced by such Book-Entry Share. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” or such other evidence, if any, of transfer, in each case, as the Paying Agent may reasonably request in the case of Book-Entry Shares, the holder of such Book-Entry Share shall, subject toSection 2.02(d), be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the portion of the Aggregate Common Stock Consideration into which the Shares formerly represented by such Book-Entry Shares were converted pursuant toSection 2.01(a), and the Book-Entry Shares so transferred shall forthwith be cancelled. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(iii) No interest shall be paid or accrue on any portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance withSection 2.02(e)) or in respect of any Book-Entry Share.

(c)Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. As of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of thisArticle II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d)Termination of Exchange Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following the nine (9) month anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) not disbursed to or claimed by holders of Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Sharesand in compliance with the procedures set forth inSection 2.02(b), without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall be liable to any person or holder of a Share for Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official in compliance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Share shall not have been surrendered prior to five (5) years after the Effective Time, or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such cash shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interests of any person or holder of a Share for Merger Consideration previously entitled thereto.

(e)Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Paying Agent) of that fact (together with the other deliveries required bySection 2.02(b)(i)) by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the portion of the Aggregate Common Stock Consideration into which the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate were converted pursuant toSection 2.01(a)(i);provided,however, that Parent or the Paying Agent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide a bond in a customary amount.

Section 2.03Treatment of Company Options, Stock Units, Restricted Stock and Equity Plans.

(a)Treatment of Company Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions to provide that, (1) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares granted under a Company Stock Plan (the “Company Options”) shall be fully vested and (2) at the Effective Time shall be automatically cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares subject to such cancelled Company Option (whether vested or unvested), multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per Share subject to such cancelled Company Option, without interest (such amounts payable hereunder, the “Option Payments”), which shall be paid in accordance withSection 2.03(e);provided,however, that (x) any such Company Option with respect to which the exercise price per Share subject thereto is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled in exchange for no consideration upon the Effective Time and (y) such Option Payments shall be reduced by the amount of any required Tax withholdings as provided inSection 2.05. From and after the Effective Time, no Company Option shall be outstanding or exercisable, and each Company Option shall only entitle the holder thereof to the payment, if any, provided for in thisSection 2.03(a).

(b)Treatment of Stock Units. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions to provide that, (1) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock units (“Stock Units”) with respect to Shares, including performance-based Stock Units (each, a “Stock Unit Award”) granted pursuant to a Company Stock Plan shall be fully vested, with applicable performance goals deemed to have been satisfied at the target level of performance, and (2) at the Effective Time be automatically cancelled and converted into a right to receive a payment in cash of an amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of (A) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (B) the number of Shares subject to such Stock Unit Award, without interest and (ii) the dividend equivalents accrued on such Stock Unit Award prior to the Closing Date (such amounts payable hereunder, the “Stock Unit Payments”), which shall be paid in accordance withSection 2.03(e). Such Stock Unit Payments and any dividend equivalents accrued on such Stock Unit Awards may be reduced by the amount of any required Tax withholdings as provided inSection 2.05.

(c)Treatment of Restricted Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and without any action on the part of Parent, Sub, the Company or any holder of an outstanding award of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”) under a Company Stock Plan (a “Restricted Stock Award”), (1) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Restricted Stock Award shall become fully vested and the restrictions thereon shall lapse and (2) at the Effective Time, each Restricted Stock Award shall be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award, without interest, and (ii) the dividends accrued on such Restricted Stock Award prior to the Closing Date, which shall be reduced by the amount of any required Tax withholdings as provided inSection 2.05 and be paid in accordance withSection 2.03(e).

(d)Termination of Company Stock Plans. As of the Effective Time, no further Company Options, Stock Units, Restricted Stock or other rights with respect to Shares shall be granted under the Company Stock Plans, and the Company Stock Plans shall terminate.

(e)Parent Funding. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Surviving Corporation or an account identified by Parent prior to the Effective Time (the identity of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) cash in an amount sufficient to allow the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to make the payments required under thisSection 2.03, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make, or cause one of its Subsidiaries to make, the payments required under thisSection 2.03 as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than the first payroll date that is at least ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Time), in each case, subject toSection 2.05.

(f)Actions Prior to Closing. The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take or cause to be taken all actions (including adopting all resolutions, providing notices and procuring consents (after review and approval by Parent of the forms thereof)) that are required under the Company Stock Plans, applicable Law or this Agreement, or are otherwise reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the cancellation of the Company Options, Stock Units and Restricted Stock Awards and other transactions contemplated by thisSection 2.03 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, each holder of a Company Option, Stock Unit Award or Restricted Stock Award cancelled as provided in thisSection 2.03 shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration (if any) specified in and subject to the terms of thisSection 2.03, without interest. In addition, prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions to provide that the Company Stock Plans shall terminate effective as of the Effective Time.

Section 2.04Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any issued and outstanding Shares held by a person (a “Dissenting Shareholder”) who has not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and has complied with all the provisions of the OGCL concerning the right of holders of Shares to require payment of fair cash value of their Shares, in accordance with Section 1701.85 of the OGCL (such Shares, “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as described inSection 2.01(a)(i), but shall instead be converted into the right to payment of such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Shareholder in accordance with Section 1701.85 of the OGCL;provided,however, that if such Dissenting Shareholder fails to perfect, withdraws, or otherwise loses such Dissenting Shareholder’s right to payment of fair cash value pursuant to Section 1701.85 of the OGCL with respect to such Shares, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 1701.85 of the OGCL, such Shares shall be deemed not to be Dissenting Shares and shall be deemed to be converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration for each such Share, without interest and subject toSection 2.02 andSection 2.05. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of Shares received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on the Company pursuant to Section 1701.85 of the OGCL. Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal of Shares. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.05Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent (and their respective affiliates and representatives) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts payable in connection with this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment, or the vesting, waiver of restrictions or other actions provided for in this Agreement, under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law;provided,however, that under no circumstances will Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent (or any of their respective affiliates or representatives) deduct or withhold any amount under Section 1445 of the Code so long as the Company provides the certification and notice described inSection 5.18. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent (or their affiliates or representatives), as the case may be, such deducted or withheld amounts (a) shall be remitted by the applicable withholding agent to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares, Company Options, Stock Unit Awards or Restricted Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.

(b) To Parent’s knowledge, no “material weaknesses” (as such terms are defined in Rule1-02(a)(4) of RegulationS-X) in the design or operation of internal controls over Parent’s financial reporting were identified in connection with the audit of its financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018, that could adversely affect in any material respect Parent’s ability to timely record, process, summarize and report financial information.

Section 4.09Financing.

(a) Parent has delivered to the Company true and complete copies of (i) the executed commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), among Parent and the other party thereto (the “Equity Financing Source”), pursuant to which the Equity Financing Source has committed, subject only to the terms thereof, to invest the amounts set forth therein on the date on which the Closing should occur pursuant toSection 1.02 and to which the Company is an express third-party beneficiary (the “Equity Financing”), and (ii) the executed commitment letter (together with the term sheet and any other annexes, exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto), dated as of the date hereof (the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Commitments”) among Parent and the financial institutions identified therein (the “Lenders” and, together with the Equity Financing Source, the “Financing Sources”), pursuant to which the Lenders have committed, subject only to the terms and conditions thereof, to lend the amounts set forth therein for purposes of funding the Transactions on the date on which the Closing should occur pursuant toSection 1.02 (the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”). Parent has also delivered to the Company true and complete copies of any and all fee letter(s) (with only the fee amounts and economic terms (including economic flex terms) (none of which individually or in the aggregate would reduce the amount of the Debt Financing below an amount necessary (together with the Equity Financing) to satisfy the Financing Uses, adversely affect the availability of the Debt Financing or delay or prevent the Closing or make the funding of the Debt Financing less likely to occur) redacted) relating to the Debt Commitment Letter (any such fee letter, a “Fee Letter”).

(b) Assuming the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth inSection 6.01 andSection 6.02 and that the Financing is funded in accordance with the Financing Commitments, the aggregate net proceeds from the Financing when funded in accordance with the Financing Commitments are sufficient to fund all of the amounts required to be provided by Parent or Sub for the consummation of the Transactions and are sufficient for the satisfaction of all of the

obligations of Parent and Sub at the Closing under this Agreement, including the payment of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, the amounts payable pursuant toSection 2.03 and the payment of all costs and expenses of the Transactions (including any obligations of the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries) which become due or payable by the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary in connection with, or as a result of, the Transactions and any repayment or refinancing of Indebtedness required in connection therewith (including as required by any of the Financing Commitments) (collectively, the “Financing Uses”).

(c) As of the date hereof, (i) all of the Financing Commitments are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded or, except as permitted bySection 5.07 after the date hereof, otherwise amended, supplemented or modified (or contemplated to be amended, supplemented or modified) in each case by Parent, or to the knowledge of Parent, any other party thereto in any respect, (ii) each of the Financing Commitments, in the form delivered to the Company, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, Sub and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception, (iii) there are no side letters or other Contracts or arrangements (except for any Fee Letters, any fee credit or discount letters and engagement letters) with respect to the Debt Financing relating to the Financing Commitments among the parties thereto that would add any condition precedent to funding of the Debt Financing, reduce the amount of the Debt Financing below an amount necessary (together with the Equity Financing) to satisfy the Financing Uses, adversely affect the availability of the Debt Financing or delay or prevent the Closing or make the funding of the Debt Financing less likely to occur and (iv) no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent under any term, or a failure of any condition, of the Financing Commitments or otherwise result in the aggregate amount of the Financing being unavailable on the date on which the Closing should occur pursuant toSection 1.02. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth inSection 6.01 andSection 6.02 and compliance by the Company withSection 5.07, Parent has no reason to believe that it or any Equity Financing Source or Lender would be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of the Financing Commitments required to be satisfied by it. Parent and Sub have fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Financing Commitments to be paid on or before the date of this Agreement. As of the date hereof, (i) there are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments (collectively, the “Disclosed Conditions”), and (ii) no person has any right to impose, and none of Parent or any counterparty to any Financing Commitment has any obligation to accept (1) any condition precedent to such funding, other than the Disclosed Conditions, (2) any reduction to the aggregate amount available under the Financing Commitments on the Closing Date below an amount necessary to satisfy the Financing Uses or (3) any term of condition that would have the effect of reducing the aggregate amount available under the Financing Commitments on the Closing Date below an amount necessary to satisfy the Financing Uses. Parent affirms that it is not a condition to the Closing or to any of its other obligations under this Agreement that Parent and/or any of its affiliates obtain financing for or related to any of the Transactions.

(d) Neither Parent nor Sub has, directly or indirectly, entered into an exclusivity,lock-up or other similar agreement, arrangement or binding understanding with any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing that prohibits such provider from providing or seeking to provide any services or financing, including debt or equity financing, to any third party in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (including in connection with the making of any Competing Proposal) in connection with the Transactions.

Section 4.10Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent and Sub have caused the Guarantor to deliver the Guarantee, dated as of the date of this Agreement, to the Company. As of the date of this Agreement, (i) the Guarantee is in full force and effect and has not been withdrawn or terminated or otherwise amended, supplemented or modified in any respect, (ii) the Guarantee is a legal and valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception, and (iii) no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could constitute a default or breach on the part of the Guarantor under the Guarantee.

Section 4.11Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission for which the Company could be responsible in connection with the Transactions based on arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent, Sub or any of their respective affiliates, other than those that become payable by the Surviving Corporation following the consummation of the Merger.

Section 4.12Solvency. Assuming that (a) the conditions to the obligation of Parent and Sub to consummate the Merger have been satisfied or waived, (b) the most recent financial statements included in a Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q or an Annual Report onForm 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Company and the consolidated Company Subsidiaries as at the end of the periods covered thereby and the consolidated results of operations of the Company and the consolidated Company Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby in accordance with GAAP and (c) any estimates, projections or forecasts of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been prepared by them in good faith based upon assumptions that were and continue to be reasonable, then at and immediately following the Effective Time and after giving effect to all of the Transactions, including the funding of the Debt Financing and the Financing Uses and the Merger, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and each Subsidiary of Parent and Surviving Corporation, taken as a whole, will be Solvent. As of the date hereof, Parent and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are Solvent.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the last sentence of thisSection 5.03(b), if, at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, (i) the Company receives a written Competing Proposal that the Company Board (or any committee thereof) believes to bebona fide and such written Competing Proposal did not result from a breach of thisSection 5.03, and (ii) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Competing Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal from the same person making such Competing Proposal, then the Company may, only following the execution of an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with the person making such Competing Proposal, (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the person making such Competing Proposal and its representatives and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Competing Proposal and its representatives regarding such Competing Proposal;provided,however, that the Company will (x) as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 48 hours) notify Parent of the receipt of any Competing Proposal that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, including the identity of any person making such Competing Proposal and the material terms thereof, (y) furnish to Parent a true and correct copy of any confidentiality or other agreement entered into with such person and (z) as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours after providing material) provide to Parent any material information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries provided or made available to such other person (or its representatives) that was not previously provided or made available to Parent. None of the foregoing provisions ofSection 5.03(a) orSection 5.03(b) shall prohibit the Company or the Company Representatives from communicating with any person or group of persons that has made a Competing Proposal after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach ofSection 5.03(a) solely to request the clarification of the terms and conditions thereof so as to determine whether the Competing Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and any such communications, to the extent limited to such purpose, shall not be a breach of thisSection 5.03; provided that the Company has first provided Parent written notice of the Competing Proposal (and such anticipated effort to seek clarification).

(c) Except as set forth inSection 5.03(d) orSection 5.03(e), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) adopt, authorize, approve, endorse, declare advisable or recommend to the shareholders of the Company (or publicly propose to adopt, authorize, approve, endorse, declare advisable or recommend to the shareholders of the Company), any Competing Proposal, (ii) withhold, modify, amend, change, qualify or withdraw, or publicly propose to withhold, modify, amend, change, qualify or withdraw, in a manner adverse to Parent

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to prior compliance with the provisions set forth below), at any time prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may make a Change of Company Recommendation (and, if so desired by the Company Board), terminate this Agreement in accordance withSection 7.01(f) in order to cause the Company to concurrently enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Competing Proposal if, but only if, prior to taking any such action:

(i) (A) abona fide written Competing Proposal (that did not result from a breach of thisSection 5.03) is made to the Company by a third person after the date of this Agreement and such Competing Proposal is not withdrawn and (B) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that (I) such Competing Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (II) the failure to make a Change of Company Recommendation in connection with such Superior Proposal would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;

(ii) the Company provides Parent prior written notice of the intention of the Company Board (or any committee thereof) to make a Change of Company Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Competing Proposal (a “Notice of Change of Recommendation”) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of taking any such action, which notice shall include the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and copies of the proposed transaction documents in respect of such Competing Proposal, including the identity of the person making such Superior Proposal (it being agreed that neither the delivery of the Notice of Change of Recommendation by the Company nor any public disclosure thereof shall constitute a Change of Company Recommendation);

(iii) if requested by Parent, the Company has negotiated, and caused any applicable Company Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent with respect to any changes to the terms of this Agreement, the Financing Commitments and the Guarantee proposed by Parent in a written binding offer, for at least three (3) Business Days following receipt by Parent of such Notice of Change of Recommendation (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any material term of the Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Change of Recommendation and an additional two (2) Business Day period from the date of such notice), and during each such period, the Company Board has considered in good faith any such proposed changes by Parent; and

(iv) taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement, the Financing Commitments and the Guarantee offered by Parent in a binding irrevocable written offer to the Company pursuant toclause(iii) above, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Competing Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes irrevocably offered in writing by Parent were to be given effect.

(e) Other than in connection with a Competing Proposal (which shall be subject toSection 5.03(d) and shall not be subject to thisSection 5.03(e)), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Company Board (or any committee thereof) from effecting a Change of Company Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Change of Company Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;provided, that the Company shall give Parent at least three (3) Business Days of such determination and the intention of the Company Board (or any committee thereof) to take such action, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the basis for such Change of Company Recommendation (it being agreed that neither the delivery of such notice by the Company nor any public disclosure thereof shall constitute a Change of Company Recommendation).

(f) Nothing contained in thisSection 5.03 shall prohibit the Company Board (or any committee thereof) from (i) disclosing to the shareholders of the Company a position contemplated byRule 14e-2(a),Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of RegulationM-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the shareholders of the Company if the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company under applicable Law (for the avoidance of doubt, it being agreed that the issuance by the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) of a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position, as contemplated by Rules14d-9 and14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, shall not constitute a Change of Company Recommendation). Nothing in the foregoing provisions of thisSection 5.03(f) will be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to effect a Change of Company Recommendation other than in accordance withSection 5.03(d) orSection 5.03(e).

The Company shall notify Parent promptly of the receipt of any comments to the Proxy Statement from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and will supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company and the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Transactions.

(b) The Company shall cause (and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause within five (5) Business Days) the Proxy Statement in definitive form to be disseminated to the shareholders of the Company as of the record date established for the Company Shareholder Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable after confirmation from the SEC that it will not review, or that it has completed its review of, the Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Clearance”).

(c) If, at any time prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting, any information relating to the Company or Parent, Sub, the Guarantor, any of their affiliates or any transaction any of them have or are contemplating entering into in connection with this Agreement, is discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall as promptly as practicable notify the other party. Following such notification, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement describing such information as promptly as reasonably practicable after Parent has had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and, to the extent required by applicable Law or the SEC or its staff, the Company shall disseminate such amendment or supplement to the shareholders of the Company.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may adjourn, recess or postpone the Company Shareholder Meeting, and may change the record date thereof in connection such postponement, solely (i) after consultation with Parent, to the extent necessary, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, to ensure that any required

supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the shareholders of the Company a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Company Shareholder Meeting or (ii) if as of the time for which the Company Shareholder Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Shareholder Meeting or to the extent that at such time the Company has not received proxies sufficient to allow the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval at the Company Shareholder Meeting. The obligation of the Company to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholder Meeting shall not be affected by a Change of Company Recommendation unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance withSection 7.01(f).

(f) The Company, through the Company Board, shall (i) except in the case of a Change of Company Recommendation permitted bySection 5.03(d) orSection 5.03(e), use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from the holders of Company Common Stock proxies in favor of the Company Shareholder Approval in accordance with the OGCL, (ii) submit this Agreement for adoption by the shareholders of the Company and (iii) except in the case of a Change of Company Recommendation permitted bySection 5.03(d) orSection 5.03(e), recommend to the shareholders of the Company that they adopt this Agreement and include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement.

Section 5.07Financing.

(a) Parent and Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to do all things necessary or advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing on a timely basis (taking into account the anticipated timing of the Marketing Period) and, in any event not later than the date the Closing is required to be effected in accordance withSection 1.02, on the terms and conditions (including, to the extent applicable, the “flex” provisions) described in the Financing Commitments or otherwise on terms acceptable to Parent so long as such other terms would be permitted under the restrictions on amendments, modifications and replacements otherwise set forth in thisSection 5.07 (for purposes of thisSection 5.07, the Financing Commitments and the Debt Commitment Letter shall include any Fee Letter), including using their reasonable best efforts to (i) enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letters on the terms and conditions (as such terms may be modified or adjusted in accordance with the terms of, and within the limits of the flex provisions contained in any Fee Letter, or otherwise as acceptable to Parent so long as such terms would be permitted pursuant to the next succeeding sentence (the “Definitive Debt Financing Agreements”), (ii) satisfy on a timely basis (taking into account the anticipated timing of the Marketing Period) (or, if deemed advisable by Parent or Sub, obtain a waiver of) all terms, conditions and covenants, including with respect to the payment of any commitment, engagement or placement fees required as a condition to the Financing, applicable to Parent or Sub in the Financing Commitments and the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements, (iii) if the conditions to the availability of the Financing have been satisfied or waived (or with the funding of the Financing, would be concurrently satisfied), consummate and cause the Financing Sources to fund (including funding the Bridge Facility (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) to the extent Notes (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) have not then been issued), the Financing at or prior to Closing and (iv) in the event that all of the Disclosed Conditions have been satisfied (or with the funding of the Financing, would be concurrently satisfied) or waived, enforce their rights under the Financing Commitments and the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements. Parent and Sub shall not agree to any amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications to or replacements of, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other provision under the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing without the prior written consent of the Company other than amendments, restatements, supplements, modifications, replacements or waivers to the Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements if such amendment, modification or waiver would not (and would not be reasonably expected to) (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing or Equity Financing (including as a result of changing

the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financing or similar fee) unless (I) in the case of any reduction in the amount of the Debt Financing, the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount or (II) the aggregate amount of the Financing would still be sufficient to satisfy the Financing Uses, (B) impose new or additional conditions, amend or modify any of the Disclosed Conditions in any manner materially adverse to the interests of the Company, or otherwise expand any conditions, to the receipt of the Debt Financing or Equity Financing, (C) delay or prevent the Closing beyond the date the Closing is required to be effected in accordance withSection 1.02, (D) make the funding of the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining any of the Financing) less likely to occur or (E) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements or the ability of Parent or Sub to timely consummate the Transactions; provided that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to the implementation of any “flex” provisions under the Debt Commitment Letter or any Fee Letter as in effect on the date hereof;provided,further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent may also amend (or amend and restate) any Debt Commitment Letter, Fee Letters and any fee credit or discount and engagement letters or any Definitive Debt Financing Agreements to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or any person with similar roles or titles who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof and amend titles, allocations and fee sharing arrangements with respect to the existing and additional lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers or similar entities) in all material respects in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof;provided,further, that Parent shall provide the Company executed copies thereof in accordance withclause (d) below. Upon any such replacement, amendment, supplement or other modification of, or waiver under, the Equity Commitment Letter or Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with thisSection 5.07, the term “Equity Commitment Letter” or “Debt Commitment Letter,” as applicable, shall mean such Commitment Letter as so replaced, amended, supplemented, modified or waived (and consequently the terms “Debt Financing,” “Equity Financing” and “Financing” shall mean the Equity Financing and the Debt Financing contemplated by such Commitment Letters as so replaced, amended, supplemented, modified or waived). Parent and Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect the Financing Commitments (including any Definitive Debt Financing Agreements) until the Transactions are consummated (subject to Parent’s and Sub’s right to replace, restate, supplement, modify, assign, substitute, waiver or amend the Financing Commitments and the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements in accordance herewith), provided that such efforts shall not require any modification of, or waiver of any rights under, the Financing Commitments, or any payment or other concession that would not be required under the existing terms of the Financing Commitments (including any “flex” provisions) if the applicable Financing was consummated in accordance with its terms prior to the expiration of the applicable Financing Commitment. Neither Parent nor Sub shall release, or consent to the termination (other than by the Lenders in accordance with its terms as of the date hereof) of, the obligations of the Lenders under the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Parent or any of its affiliates (which for purposes of thisSection 5.07(b) shall be deemed to include Guarantor and its affiliates) engage any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing on an exclusive basis or otherwise on terms that prohibit or

are designed to prevent such provider from providing or seeking to provide such services or financing to any person in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the Transactions (including in connection with the making of any Competing Proposal).

(c) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any “flex” provisions) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, Parent and Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, arrange and obtain from alternative sources of debt financing an amount sufficient (when added to the Equity Financing) to satisfy the Financing Uses, on terms and conditions (including any “flex” provisions) that are (i) no less favorable in any material respect to Parent or the Company as those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including any “flex” term applicable thereto) or (ii) otherwise acceptable to Parent, which, in each case, shall not expand upon the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding on the Closing Date of the Financing as set forth in the Financing Commitments in effect on the date hereof. The new debt commitment letter and fee letter entered into in connection with such alternative financing are referred to, respectively, as a “New Debt Commitment Letter” and a “New Fee Letter.” In the event Parent or Sub enter into any such New Debt Commitment Letter, (i) Parent and Sub shall promptly provide the Company with true, correct and complete copies thereof (provided that the New Fee Letter may be redacted in a manner consistent with the Fee Letter provided as of the date hereof), (ii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as modified pursuant toclause (iii) below, and (iii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letter” (and any definition incorporating the term “Debt Commitment Letter,” including the definition of Definitive Debt Financing Agreements) shall be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letter and any Fee Letter to the extent not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter or New Fee Letter, as the case may be, at the time in question and any New Debt Commitment Letter or New Fee Letter to the extent then in effect.

(d) Parent and Sub shall, and shall cause their representatives to, keep the Company reasonably informed of material developments in their efforts to arrange the Financing and provide copies of all draft financing documents related to the Debt Financing to the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Company in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall (i) furnish the Company complete, correct and executed copies of any amendments, restatements, modifications or supplements to, or replacements or waivers of, the Financing Commitments promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) upon their execution and (ii) give the Company prompt written notice (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) (A) of any material default or breach by any party under any of the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing of which Parent or Sub becomes aware, (B) of any termination of any of the Financing Commitments, (C) of the receipt of any written notice from any Equity Financing Source or Lender with respect to any (1) actual or potential default, breach, termination or repudiation of any Financing Commitment, any definitive agreement relating to the Financing or any material provision of the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing, in each case by any party thereto, or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing with respect to the obligation to fund the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at the Closing (and, for the

avoidance of doubt, other than those relating to the ordinary course negotiation of the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements), and (D) if for any reason Parent or Sub believe in good faith that they will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the aggregate amount of the Financing necessary to satisfy the Financing Uses on the terms or in the manner contemplated by the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing, as the case may be.

(e) Prior to the Closing, subject to Parent’s expense reimbursement obligations set forth below, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and instruct the Company representatives to, in each case, use their reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent and Sub all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the Debt Financing, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) cause management of the Company to prepare for and participate in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, sessions with rating agencies, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions, road shows, lender meetings and other customary syndication activities, in each case, with appropriate seniority and expertise, at reasonable times and on reasonable notice, (ii) provide reasonable and customary assistance with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda, offering documents, offering memoranda and similar customary documents reasonably required in the Debt Financing, including the execution and delivery of customary authorization letters related thereto (including customary representations (solely with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) with respect to the absence of materialnon-public information in the public-side version of documents distributed to potential lenders and the absence of material misstatements) and provide reasonable cooperation with the due diligence efforts of the Debt Financing Sources to the extent reasonable and customary (and, to the extent applicable, subject to the limitations contained inSection 5.05 hereof), (iii) (A) obtain documents reasonably requested by Parent or the Lenders relating to the repayment of the Senior Credit Facility and the release on the Closing Date of related liens, including the Payoff Letter and (B) provide as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, no less than four (4) business days prior to the Closing Date) all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including (1) the USA PATRIOT Act and (2) if applicable, a certification regarding beneficial ownership as required by 31 C.F.R. §1010.230 to any Debt Financing Source that has requested such certification, relating to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, in each case as reasonably requested by Parent or the Lenders at least nine (9) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (iv) furnish Parent and Sub and the Lenders as promptly as reasonably practicable (or in the case ofclause (2) as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event, more than 15 Business Days after the end of the relevant quarter) with (1) the Required Information, (2) customary “flash” or “recent development” revenue information (which may be provided in a reasonable range or estimate and may be provided on anon-GAAP basis) for any fiscal quarter ending after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, and (3) such other financial and other pertinent information pertaining to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (it being understood that the Company shall not be required to provide (a) any financial statements other than the Target Financial Statements (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof) and the Constantia Financial Statements or (b) any information specified as excluded from the definition of the Required Information pursuant to clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the proviso contained therein; (v) cooperate to facilitate the pledging of, granting of security interests in and obtaining perfection of any liens on, collateral (including, to the extent the delivery thereof is not covered by the Payoff Letter,

effective prior to the Effective Time, and no person who will not be a director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary immediately after the Effective Time shall be required to take any action pursuant to thisclause (3); (4) neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to execute or deliver any agreements, certificates or instruments in connection with any Financing (or any alternative financing) at or prior to the Effective Time (other than customary authorization or representation letters and “know-your-customer” information noted above); (5) neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be responsible for the preparation of any pro forma financial statements or any adjustments to any pro forma financial information required to be provided in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letter and the Company’s reasonable best efforts to provide assistance, if requested, in connection with pro forma financial information shall be limited to providing financial information reasonably available to the Company under its current reporting systems; (6) neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment (other than for reasonableout-of-pocket costs or expenses that are reimbursed by Parent as provided below in thisSection 5.07(e)) or incur any other liability or provide or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Financing or any of the foregoing prior to the Effective Time; (7) nothing contained in thisSection 5.07(e) or otherwise shall require the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, prior to the Effective Time, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing and (8) nothing contained in thisSection 5.07(e) shall require (A) any officer or representative of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to deliver any certificate or opinion or take any other action under thisSection 5.07 that could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to such officer or representative or (B) any person who will not be an officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary immediately after the Effective Time to execute or deliver any certificate, document, agreement or other instrument pursuant to thisSection 5.07 if such certificate, document, agreement or other instrument will only become effective on or after the Effective Time. The Company hereby consents to the use of its and the Company Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing so long as such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm, disparage or otherwise adversely affect the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall not be deemed to have breached thisSection 5.07(e) as it relates to the condition set forth inSection 6.02(b) unless the Financing (or any alternative financing) has not been obtained primarily as a result of the Company’s or any of the Company Subsidiaries’ willful and material breach of their obligations under thisSection 5.07(e). Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all documented and reasonableout-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s representatives in connection with such cooperation;provided that Parent shall not be required to reimburse the Company or any of the Company’s representatives for any costs and expenses incurred by the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s representatives with respect to the financial statements, financial information or other materials (a) prepared prior to the date hereof that may be used in connection with the Debt Financing (it being understood that thisclause (a) shall not exclude the fees and expenses of the Company’s auditors, accountants and counsel in providing the assistance or comfort required by thisSection 5.07(e)) and (b) prepared after the date hereof in connection with the Proxy Statement or the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act (it being understood that this clause (b) shall not exclude the

fees and expenses of the Company’s auditors, accountants and counsel in providing the assistance or comfort required by clause (ii) or (vi) of thisSection 5.07(e)). Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Company representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the Financing (including any action taken in accordance with thisSection 5.07(e)) and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical information provided in writing by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries specifically for use in connection therewith);provided,however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments or penalties are determined by a final,non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Company representatives.

(f) Each of Parent and Sub acknowledges and agrees that neither the obtaining of the Financing or any alternative financing is a condition to the Closing, and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the Transactions irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any alternative financing, subject to the applicable conditions set forth inSection 6.01 andSection 6.02.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations contained in thisSection 5.07 (other than the last two sentences ofSection 5.07(e)) shall terminate upon the occurrence of the Closing.

Section 5.08Public Announcements. The initial press release issued by Parent and the Company concerning this Agreement and the Transactions shall be a joint press release, the contents of which have received prior approval from both such parties, and thereafter, until the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other, including providing reasonable opportunity to review and comment, before issuing any broadly-disseminated, generally applicable employee communication, press release or public statement with respect to the Transactions and shall not issue any such press release, employee communication or public statement prior to such consultation with the other party;provided, that the restrictions set forth in thisSection 5.08 shall not apply to any press release, employee communication, public statement or other announcement issued or made, or proposed to be issued or made, by (a) the Company in connection with a Competing Proposal or Change of Company Recommendation, (b) the Company as may be required by applicable Law, the fiduciary duties of the Company Board or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, in each case, subject to the conditions set forth inSection 5.03 or (c) Parent, Sub or the Company that is consistent in all material respects with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by a party hereto in accordance with this Section 5.08, including investor conference calls, filings with the SEC, Q&As or other publicly disclosed documents, in each case under thisclause (c) to the extent such disclosure is still accurate. Nothing in thisSection 5.08 shall limit the ability of the Company to make any internal announcements to its employees that are consistent in all material respects with the employee communications, press releases or public statements regarding the Transactions made by a party hereto in accordance with thisSection 5.08. Nothing in thisSection 5.08 shall restrict or prohibit Parent or any of its affiliates from making any (i) customary announcement or other communication in connection

with the arrangement of the Financing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such announcement or communications that Parent reasonably determines in good faith are required to ensure that any document concerning the Financing does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they are made), or (ii) any disclosures regarding the Company in connection with the Financing to the extent that such disclosure is of the type and nature previously disclosed by the Company to investors in its securities. For the avoidance of doubt, any public filings providing notice to or seeking approval from any Governmental Entity made pursuant toSection 5.06 shall be governed bySection 5.06 and not thisSection 5.08.

Section 5.09Directors & Officers Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Indemnification. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, to the fullest extent (x) permitted by applicable Law and (y) provided for in the Company Charter, the Company Code or the equivalent organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each current or former director or officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against (i) all losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, claims, damages or liabilities or, subject to the proviso of the next succeeding sentence, amounts paid in settlement, arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time) to the extent that they are based on or arise out of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or fiduciary under benefit plans or performed services at the request of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), and (ii) all Indemnified Liabilities to the extent they are based on or arise out of or pertain to the Transactions, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, and including any expenses incurred in enforcing such person’s rights under thisSection 5.09. In the event of any such Indemnified Liability (whether or not asserted before the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Parties promptly after statements therefor are received and otherwise advance to such Indemnified Party upon request, reimbursement of documented expenses reasonably incurred (provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advance if it is determined by a final andnon-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not legally entitled to indemnification under Law).

(b)Insurance. The Company shall be permitted to, prior to the Effective Time, and if the Company fails to do so, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain and fully pay the premium (which premium shall not exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the amount of the annual premiums paid by the Company for the current year (the “Premium Cap”)) for an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage with respect to Indemnified Liabilities for a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate to the intended beneficiaries thereof than the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policy as of the

Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time (and for so long thereafter as any claims brought before the end of such six (6)-year period thereunder are being adjudicated) the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement (provided that in the event the annual costs of such a policy would exceed the Premium Cap, then on terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that provide the best coverage as is then available at a cost up to, but not exceeding, the Premium Cap), or the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six (6)-year period (and for so long thereafter as any claims brought before the end of suchsix-year period thereunder are being adjudicated) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement (provided that in the event the annual costs of such a policy would exceed the Premium Cap, then on terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that provide the best coverage as is then available at a cost up to, but not exceeding, the Premium Cap).

(c)Successors. In the event the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then and in either such case, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, require such successors, assigns or transferees of the Surviving Corporation or Parent to assume the obligations set forth in thisSection 5.09.

(d)Continuation. For not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, to the extent consistent with applicable Law, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to ensure that the articles of incorporation and the code of regulations of the Surviving Corporation and the articles of incorporation, code of regulations, bylaws or any equivalent organizational or governing documents of each Company Subsidiary shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for periods at or prior to the Effective Time than are currently set forth in the Company Charter, the Company Code or the equivalent organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary. The contractual indemnification rights, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement with any of the directors, officers or employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, without any further action, and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms following the Effective Time.

(e)Benefit. The provisions of thisSection 5.09 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, each Indemnified Party’s heirs, executors or administrators and each Indemnified Party’s representatives, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation and shall not be amended in a manner that is materially adverse to any Indemnified Parties (including their successors, assigns and heirs) without the consent of the Indemnified Party (including the successors, assigns and heirs) affected thereby.

(f)Non-Exclusivity. The provisions of thisSection 5.09 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement, including thisSection 5.09, is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or the Indemnified Parties, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in thisSection 5.09 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

Section 5.10Takeover Statutes. The parties shall use all reasonable efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to restrict or prohibit the Transactions and (b) if any Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to restrict or prohibit any of the Transactions, to take all action necessary, including granting approvals, so that such Transaction may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize (to the greatest extent practicable) the effects of such Takeover Statute on such Transaction.

In no event shall the Company be required to pay to Parent more than one Company Termination Fee pursuant toSection 7.02(b). In no event shall Parent be required to pay to the Company (x) more than one Parent Termination Fee pursuant toSection 7.02(c) or (y) both the Parent Termination Fee and damages for willful breach. Except as provided inSection 7.02(a), in the event that Parent receives full payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant toSection 7.02(b) under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee was payable, the receipt of the Company Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy for any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, judgments, inquiries, fines and fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, suffered or incurred by Parent, Sub or any of their respective affiliates in connection with this Agreement (and the termination of this Agreement), the Merger and the Transactions (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, other than any losses or damages incurred or suffered by Parent or Sub as a result of the Company’s willful breach. Except as provided inSection 7.02(a)(i),7.02(a)(ii) or7.02(a)(v) in the event that the Company receives full payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant toSection 7.02(c) under circumstances where a Parent Termination Fee was payable, the receipt of the Parent Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy for any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, suffered or incurred by the Company or any of its controlled affiliates in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the Transactions (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and the Company shall not have, and expressly waives and relinquishes, any other right, remedy or recourse (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at Law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity). Each party acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its controlled affiliates, that the payment of the Parent Termination Fee is not a penalty but instead is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that shall compensate the Company and its controlled affiliates in the circumstances in which the Parent Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

for, or with respect to, this Agreement or the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, any breach by Parent or Sub), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure except with respect to (x) with respect to clause (II), (1) the Company’s rights to recover liabilities or damages for willful breach by Parent or Sub as provided in Section 7.02(a)(iv) which shall be payable under the Guarantee (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof) and (2) the Company’s rights against Guarantor under the Guarantee (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof), (y) prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, the Company’s third-party beneficiary rights under the Equity Commitment Letter to specific performance, including by the Guarantor of its funding commitment thereunder (subject to the terms and conditions of and to the extent provided in the Equity Commitment Letter and this Agreement) and (z) the Company’s rights against Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC under the Confidentiality Agreement, the Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement or the Super Clean Team Agreement;provided,however, thisSection 7.02(d) shall not limit the right of the parties hereto to specific performance of this Agreement pursuant to, and subject to the limitations in,Section 8.10 prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms subject to the conditions and limitations thereof;provided,further, in no event will the Company be entitled to both (x) the payment of the Parent Termination Fee or damages for willful breach of Parent and Sub and (y) specific performance of this Agreement.

Section 7.03Amendment. Subject toSection 5.09(e), this Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time before or after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval;provided,however, that (i) after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the shareholders of the Company without the further approval of such shareholders and (ii) no amendment shall be made to this Agreement after the Effective Time. Except as required by Law, no amendment of this Agreement by the Company shall require the approval of the shareholders of the Company. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sixth sentence ofSection 7.02,Section 8.05,Section 8.06, the last sentence ofSection 8.08(b),Section 8.08(c) andSection 8.11 and this sentence of thisSection 7.03 may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner that impacts or is adverse in any material respect to the Debt Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Lenders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any person that becomes a party to the Debt Commitment Letter after the date hereof).

Section 7.04Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of the other contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance by the other with any of the covenants or conditions contained in this Agreement;provided,however, that (i) after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, there may not be any extension or waiver of this Agreement that by Law requires further approval by the shareholders of the Company without the approval of the Company’s shareholders and (ii) no waiver shall be made under this Agreement after the Effective Time. Except as required by Law, no extension or waiver by the Company shall require the approval of the shareholders of the Company. Any such extension or waiver shall be

valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Section 8.03Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties intend that the remedies and limitations thereon contained in this Agreement, includingSection 7.02 andSection 8.10, shall 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 or under the Equity Commitment Letter or the Guarantee or any Debt Commitment Letter.

Section 8.04Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Annexes, Exhibits, Company Disclosure Letter, Parent Disclosure Letter and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto), the Guarantee, the Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 8.05Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties;provided,however, that Parent and Sub may without the consent of the other party (a) assign their rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to an affiliate, (b) collaterally assign their rights under this Agreement to any of the Debt Financing Sources or any agent or collateral trustee for the Debt Financing Sources or (c) assign their rights under this Agreement in connection with any sale or transfer of equity securities of, or any merger, consolidation, change of control or other business combination involving, Parent, Sub or any of their Subsidiaries, but in the case ofclause (a), (b), and (c) no such assignment will relieve Parent or Sub of their obligations under this Agreement. Any assignment or transfer in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 8.06Parties in Interest. Except for (a) Article II, which, after the Closing, shall be for the benefit of any person entitled to payment thereunder, (b) Section 5.09, which, after the Closing, shall be for the benefit of each Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party’s heirs, executors or administrators and each Indemnified Party’s representatives, (c) Section 7.02(d),Section 7.03,Section 8.05, thisSection 8.06,Section 8.08 andSection 8.11, which shall be for the benefit of the Parent Related Parties, and (d) Section 5.05, which shall be for the benefit of the affiliates of Guarantor that are party to the Confidentiality Agreement, each of whom identified inclauses (a) through (d), shall be an express third-party beneficiary of the identified Section of this Agreement, Parent, Sub and the Company hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties, agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other parties hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement;provided, that the persons named inclause (a) through (d) of this sentence shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement. The parties hereto further agree that the rights of third-party beneficiaries underclauses (a) through (d) of the preceding sentence shall not arise unless and until the Effective Time occurs. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties may be subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance withSection 7.04 without notice or liability to any other person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debt Financing Sources shall be third-party beneficiaries of the sixth sentence ofSection 7.02,Section 8.05, the last sentence ofSection 8.08(b),Section 8.08(c),Section 8.11, the last sentence ofSection 7.03 and this sentence of thisSection 8.06.

Section 8.07Mutual Drafting; Interpretation; Headings. Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties hereto. If 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 provision. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: (a) the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; (b) the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; (c) the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and (d) the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and words of similar meaning, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections,” “Annexes” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and the Annexes and Exhibits to this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to “$” are intended to refer to U.S. dollars. The term “or” shall not be deemed to be exclusive. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. In this Agreement, references to “as of the date hereof,” “as of the date of this Agreement” or words of similar import shall be deemed to mean “as of immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.” The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that the Financing is the responsibility of Parent and Sub and not the Company or any Company Subsidiary and that (i) the Company makes no representations or warranties relating to the Financing (including whether the Company has authorized the Financing or whether any of the transactions contemplated by the Financing conflict with or violate any obligation of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or Contract to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party), (ii) except forSection 5.07(e), none of the covenants of the Company in this Agreement require the Company to take any action relating to the Financing and (iii) for purposes of the representations and warranties and covenants and obligations of the Company hereunder, the Transactions shall not include the Financing. When a reference is made in this Agreement or the Company Disclosure Letter to information or documents being provided, made available or disclosed to Parent, Sub or their affiliates, such information or documents shall include only information or documents (x) contained in the Data Room, but only to the extent such information or documents were accessible, and identified in the Data Room index, to Parent as of 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 23, 2019 or (y) described in the last sentence ofSection 3.18(a);provided,however, that with respect toSection 3.25, “made available” shall include documents transmitted to Parent’s counsel by electronic mail on the date of this Agreement.

Section 8.08Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of Law thereof except to the extent the laws of Ohio are mandatorily applicable to the Merger, which provisions shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Ohio.

(b) Each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any other party or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions. Each of the parties agrees not to commence any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Transactions except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described in this Agreement. Each of the parties agrees that notice as provided in this Agreement pursuant toSection 8.02(b) shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described in this Agreement for any reason, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) that (A) the Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such Proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter of this Agreement, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, against the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than (except as may be expressly permitted in any Debt Commitment Letter) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and in each case appellate courts thereof).

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (INCLUDING AS IT MAY RELATE TO THE DEBT FINANCING SOURCES OR THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THISSECTION 8.08(c).

Section 8.09Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile or by electronic delivery in .pdf format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 8.10Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to the limitations set forth inSection 8.10(c), at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant toArticle VII, the parties 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 of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity (except as set forth in this Agreement).

(b) Each of the parties agrees that (i) the seeking of remedies pursuant to thisSection 8.10 shall not in any way constitute a waiver by any party seeking such remedies of its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement, including underSection 7.02, in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in thisSection 8.10 are not available or otherwise are not granted, (ii) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall require a party to institute any Proceeding for (or limit a party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under thisSection 8.10 prior, or as a condition, to exercising any termination right underArticle VII (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding seeking remedies pursuant to thisSection 8.10 restrict or limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms ofArticle VII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter;provided, that in no event will a party be entitled to both (x) the payment of the Parent Termination Fee or the Company Termination Fee, as applicable, and (y) specific performance of the other party’s obligations to consummate the Merger or (in the case of obligations of Parent or Sub) obtain the Equity Financing, and (iii) no party shall require the other to post any bond or other security as a condition to institute any Proceeding for specific performance under thisSection 8.10.

(c)Notwithstanding anythingto the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the parties specifically acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be entitled to any injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief or remedy to enforce the obligation of Parent or Sub to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to cause Parent and Sub to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions, including to effect the Closing in accordance withSection 1.02, unless and until (i) all conditions inSection 6.01 andSection 6.02 have been and continue to be satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by deliveries made at the Closing, provided that such conditions would be so satisfied on such date if it were the Closing Date), (ii) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, (iii) the Company has irrevocably

notified Parent in writing that if specific performance is granted and the Equity and Debt Financing are funded, then it would take such actions that are required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur and (iv) Parent and Sub fail to complete the Closing on the date by which the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant toSection 1.02.

Section 8.11Non-Recourse. Except to the extent otherwise set forth in any Guarantee, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the persons who are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such person. None of the Debt Financing Sources shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Equity Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment Letter or, in each case, the performance thereof; provided that in no event shall the foregoing relieve the Debt Financing Sources from any obligations to Parent or Sub (and following the Closing Date, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) arising under the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements.

* * * * * * * *

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Parent, Sub and the Company have caused this Agreement to be signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized all as of the date first written above.
