2.5 Purchased Contracts; Company Plans; Cure Amounts. Sellers shall provide timely and proper written notice of the motion seeking entry of the Sale Order to all parties to any executory Contracts or unexpired leases to which any Seller is a party that are Purchased Contracts and take all other actions necessary to cause such Contracts to be assumed by Sellers and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent that such Contracts are Purchased Contracts at Closing. Purchaser shall have the right to notify Sellers in writing of any Contract that it does not wish to assume (including any Contract previously listed on Schedule 2.1(b)(iv)), any Contract to which any Seller is a party that Purchaser wishes to assume by adding it to Schedule 2.1(b)(iv) as a Purchased Contract or any Company Plan that Purchaser wishes to assume by adding it to the Schedule 2.1(b)(xiv) as an Assumed Benefit Plan, as applicable, up to two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and (a) any such previously considered Purchased Contract that Purchaser no longer wishes to assume shall be automatically deemed removed from Schedule 2.1(b)(iv) and deemed an Excluded Asset, and (b) any Contract or Company Plan previously excluded from Schedule 2.1(b)(iv) or Schedule 2.1(b)(xiv), as applicable, that Purchaser wishes to assume as a Purchased Contract or Assumed Benefit Plan, as applicable, shall be automatically deemed added to Schedule 2.1(b)(iv) or Schedule 2.1(b)(xiv), as applicable, and deemed a Purchased Contract or Assumed Benefit Plan, as applicable, in each case, without any adjustment to the Base Cash Amount. At the Closing and pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, Sellers will assume the Purchased Contracts (to the extent not previously assumed) and, subject to the terms herein, assign the Purchased Contracts to Purchaser, and Purchaser, subject to the terms herein, will assume the Purchased Contracts. All Cure Costs with respect to the Purchased Contracts will be paid by Purchaser, as and when finally determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Sale Order (the “Assumed Cure Costs”). Sellers will have no Liability for any Assumed Cure Costs.

2.6 Non-Assignment of Assets.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement will not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer and will not effect the assignment or transfer of any Purchased Asset (including any Purchased Contract) if (i) (A) it is prohibited by applicable Law, (B) an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would reasonably likely to subject Purchaser, its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives to civil or criminal Liability or (C) an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the approval, authorization or consent of, or granting or issuance of any license or permit by, any third party thereto, would constitute a breach, default or violation thereof or of any Law (each such action, a “Necessary Consent”), or in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser thereunder or (ii) the Bankruptcy Court has not entered an Order (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Sale Order) approving such assignment or transfer. In such event, such assignment or transfer is subject to such Necessary Consent being obtained and Sellers and Purchaser will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Necessary Consents with respect to any such Purchased Asset (including any Purchased Contract) or any claim or right or any benefit

arising thereunder for the assignment or transfer thereof to Purchaser as Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, that neither Sellers nor Purchaser will be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom consent or approval is requested or to initiate any litigation or Legal Proceedings to obtain any such consent or approval. If such Necessary Consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would give rise to any of the circumstances described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.6(a), be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Purchaser to such Purchased Asset following the Closing, (x) Sellers and Purchaser will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, (1) use commercially reasonable efforts (including cooperating with one another to obtain such Necessary Consents, to the extent feasible) as may be necessary so that Purchaser would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, (2) complete any such assignments or transfers as soon as reasonably practicable, and (3) upon receipt of any applicable Necessary Consents, to transfer or assign the applicable Purchased Asset to Purchaser, and (y) Sellers will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with Purchaser in good faith without further consideration in any arrangement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Sellers intended to provide Purchaser with the benefit of any such Purchased Assets.

(b) Subject to Section 2.6(a), if after the Closing (i) Purchaser or its designee holds any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities or (ii) any Seller holds any Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser or the applicable Seller will promptly transfer (or cause to be transferred) such assets or assume (or cause to be assumed) such Liabilities to or from (as the case may be) the other Party. Prior to any such transfer, the Party receiving or possessing any such asset will hold it in trust for such other Party.

2.7 Exclusion of Purchased Assets or Acquired Entities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and without limiting Section 2.5, at any time on or prior to the third (3^rd) Business Day after the date of the Auction, Purchaser may, in its discretion by written notice to Sellers, designate any of the Purchased Assets as additional Excluded Assets, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the Purchased Assets so designated; provided that there shall be no reduction in the Base Cash Amount if Purchaser elects to designate any Purchased Asset as an Excluded Asset. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Liabilities of Sellers under or related to any Purchased Asset excluded under this paragraph will constitute Excluded Liabilities.

2.8 Further Conveyances and Assumptions. From time to time following the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, assignments, releases and other instruments, and will take such further actions, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure fully to Purchaser and its respective successors or assigns, all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Purchaser under this Agreement and to assure fully to each Seller and its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, the assumption of the Liabilities intended to be assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement, and to otherwise make effective the Transactions and the Financings; provided that nothing in this Section 2.8 will require Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to assume any Liabilities other than the Assumed Liabilities.

III. CONSIDERATION

3.1 Consideration. The aggregate consideration for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price”) will be: (a) Final Cash Amount; plus (b) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities.

3.2 Purchase Price Deposit. Purchaser shall deposit a sum of $21,800,000 (the “Deposit Amount”) into the Trust Account no later than the first Business Day after the Effective Date, which will be held in the Trust Account and will be either delivered to Purchaser or paid to the Company as follows: (a) if the Closing occurs, the Deposit Amount will be applied towards the Estimated Cash Amount payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.3; (b) if this Agreement is validly terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 4.4(d), then the Deposit Amount will promptly be released to the Company (and such Deposit Amount will be deemed fully earned by the Company as compensation and consideration for entering into this Agreement), provided however, that if Purchaser has provided valid written notice of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with and pursuant to Section 4.4(a), (c), (g), (h), (i) or (j), and but for the termination by the Company of this Agreement under Section 4.4(d), this Agreement could have been validly terminated as of the date of such written notice in accordance with Section 4.4(a), (c), (g), (h), (i) or (j), then the Deposit Amount shall be promptly released to the Purchaser; or (c) if this Agreement is validly terminated for any reason other than by the Company pursuant to Section 4.4(d), then the Deposit Amount will promptly be released to Purchaser, provided however, that if Sellers have provided to Purchaser valid written notice of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with and pursuant to Section 4.4(d), and but for the termination by Purchaser of this Agreement under another provision of Section 4, this Agreement could have been validly terminated as of the date of such written notice in accordance with Section 4.4(d), then the Deposit Amount shall be promptly released to the Company.

3.3 Payment of Purchase Price. At the Closing, (a) Purchaser will pay (i) to Sellers, in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Company (for itself, or on behalf of an affiliated company) not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Estimated Cash Amount less the Deposit Amount less the Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Specified Matters Escrow Amount and (ii) to the Escrow Agent, (A) the Adjustment Escrow Amount to an escrow account (the “Adjustment Escrow Account”) and (B) Specified Matters Escrow Amount to an escrow account (the “Specified Matters Escrow Account”), which accounts shall be established and maintained by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and (b) the Deposit Amount will be released to Sellers.

3.4 Determination of Final Cash Amount.

(a) At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), together with reasonable supporting documentation, setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of Modified Net Current Assets, Closing Acquired Entity Indebtedness and Closing Acquired Entity Net Cash, and, based thereon, the Company’s good faith estimate of the Final Cash Amount (such estimated amount, the “Estimated Cash Amount”). Sellers shall prepare the Estimated Closing Statement in accordance with the Accounting Principles. Following the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, the Company shall provide Purchaser and its Representatives with

reasonable access to work papers and other books and records for purposes of assisting Purchaser in its review of the Estimated Closing Statement. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall consider in good faith any revisions to the Estimated Closing Statement raised by Purchaser in connection with its review of the Estimated Closing Statement.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than 30 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a statement (the “Closing Statement”), together with reasonable supporting documentation, setting forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s good faith calculation of Modified Net Current Assets, Closing Acquired Entity Indebtedness and Closing Acquired Entity Net Cash and, based thereon, its good faith calculation of the Final Cash Amount. Purchaser shall prepare the Closing Statement in accordance with this Agreement and the Accounting Principles. During the 30-day period following the delivery of the Closing Statement, Purchaser shall provide the Company and its Representatives with reasonable access to the Acquired Entities’ accounting and other personnel and to the work papers and other books and records related to the preparation of the Closing Statement for purposes of assisting the Company in its review of the Closing Statement. At or prior to the end of such 30-day period, the Company shall either:

(i) deliver a notice to Purchaser confirming that no adjustments are proposed by the Company to Purchaser’s calculation of the amount of Modified Net Current Assets, Closing Acquired Entity Indebtedness, Closing Acquired Entity Net Cash and the Final Cash Amount as set forth on the Closing Statement (a “Notice of Acceptance”), after which the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Final Cash Amount as set forth therein shall be final and binding on the Parties as the Final Cash Amount; or

(ii) deliver a written notice to Purchaser to the effect that the Company believes that Purchaser’s calculation of the amount of Modified Net Current Assets, Closing Acquired Entity Indebtedness, Closing Acquired Entity Net Cash and the Final Cash Amount, as set forth on the Closing Statement, contains mathematical errors or is otherwise not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Accounting Principles (a “Notice of Disagreement”) and, specifying in reasonable detail and accompanied by supporting calculations and documentation, the nature of such mathematical errors or non-compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the Accounting Principles and the resulting adjustments (collectively, the “Proposed Adjustments”);

provided, however, that if the Company fails to deliver a Notice of Acceptance or a Notice of Disagreement within such 30-day period, then the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Final Cash Amount as set forth therein shall be final and binding on the Parties as the Final Cash Amount.

(c) If there are any Proposed Adjustments, Purchaser shall, no later than 15 days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Notice of Disagreement, notify the Company whether Purchaser accepts or rejects each such Proposed Adjustment. Thereafter, the Company and Purchaser shall work in good faith to resolve any differences that remain with respect to the Proposed Adjustments. If any of the Proposed Adjustments are not so resolved (the “Unresolved

Adjustments”) within 15 days after Purchaser’s notice to Sellers of its rejection of any Proposed Adjustments (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree in writing), then, at the request of either the Company or Purchaser, the Unresolved Adjustments will be jointly submitted for arbitration to a mutually agreed nationally recognized firm with accounting expertise and relevant experience in resolving similar purchase price adjustment disputes (the “Accounting Firm”), and the Parties will enter into an engagement letter if requested by the Accounting Firm. The Parties shall mutually determine the procedures with respect to the resolution of the Unresolved Adjustments; provided that if the Parties do not reach an agreement on such process within ten Business Days of the engagement of the Accounting Firm, then the Accounting Firm shall, within the subsequent ten Business Days, unilaterally determine such procedures, and inform the Parties in writing of such procedures. The scope of the review by the Accounting Firm will be limited to: (i) a disposition of the Unresolved Adjustments through a strict application of the Accounting Principles and the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) based on its determination of the matters described in clause (i) above and all items and amounts that were previously accepted or agreed upon or deemed agreed upon by the Parties in accordance with this Section 3.4(c), as applicable, a calculation of Modified Net Current Assets, Closing Acquired Entity Indebtedness, Closing Acquired Entity Net Cash and, based thereon, the Final Cash Amount. No Party will disclose to the Accounting Firm, and the Accounting Firm will not consider for any purpose, any settlement discussions or offers made by any Party with respect to the Unresolved Adjustments or otherwise unless expressly agreed to by both Parties in writing. In no event shall either Party or its Representatives have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Accounting Firm without the prior written consent of the other Party. The Accounting Firm shall not be entitled to, and the Parties shall not individually request the Accounting Firm to, (A) make any determination other than as set forth above, (B) determine any Unresolved Adjustment to be a value higher than the highest value or lower than the lowest value proposed by the Parties in the Closing Statement or the Notice of Disagreement, or (C) undertake any independent investigation of the facts relating to the Unresolved Adjustments. The Accounting Firm will be instructed to render, as promptly as practicable and, to the extent reasonably practicable, within 15 days after such submission of the Unresolved Adjustments to the Accounting Firm, its written decision resolving the matters submitted to it, which written decision will include a worksheet setting forth the reason for each Unresolved Adjustment determination, the material calculations used to determine the Accounting Firm’s ruling including the calculation of Modified Net Current Assets, Closing Acquired Entity Indebtedness and Closing Acquired Entity Net Cash and the Final Cash Amount. The determination of the Final Cash Amount by the Accounting Firm and the statement prepared by the Accounting Firm setting forth such determination will, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties as the Final Cash Amount and judgment may be entered upon such determination and statement in any court of competent jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm incurred pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) shall be paid out of the Adjustment Escrow Account or by Purchaser based on the inverse of the percentage the Accounting Firm’s determination bears to the total amount of the items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of Sellers’ position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Purchaser and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be paid out of the Adjustment Escrow Account.

(d) Payment Upon Final Determination of Final Cash Amount:

(i) If the Final Cash Amount is greater than the Estimated Cash Amount then (A) Purchaser shall pay to Sellers, within five Business Days after the date on which the Final Cash Amount becomes final and binding pursuant to this Section 3.4, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts Sellers designate in writing to Purchaser, an amount in cash equal to such difference and (B) within three Business Days after the date on which the Final Cash Amount is finally determined, the Company and Purchaser shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release and pay to Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts the Company designates in such joint written instructions, the Adjustment Escrow Funds.

(ii) If the Final Cash Amount is less than the Estimated Cash Amount, then within three Business Days after the date on which the Final Cash Amount becomes final and binding pursuant to this Section 3.4, the Company and Purchaser shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release and pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in such joint written instructions (A) to Purchaser the portion of the Adjustment Escrow Funds equal to the amount of such shortfall and (B) to Sellers the remaining portion of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, if any.

(iii) If the Final Cash Amount is equal to the Estimated Cash Amount, then the Company and Purchaser shall, within three Business Days after the date on which the Final Cash Amount becomes final and binding pursuant to this Section 3.4, deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release and pay to Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts the Company designates in such joint written instructions, all of the Adjustment Escrow Funds.

(e) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be reported as such by the Parties on their Tax Returns, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

5.9 Employee Compensation and Company Plans; ERISA.

(a) As used herein, the term “Company Plan” will mean each “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA whether or not subject to ERISA, in each case other than a “multiemployer plan,” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) and each other material equity incentive, severance, termination indemnity, redundancy pay, employment, company stock plan, change-in-control, retention, fringe benefit, bonus, thirteenth month, incentive, savings, retirement, deferred compensation, disability, educational assistance, holiday pay, housing assistance, moving expense reimbursement, or other benefit plan, agreement, arrangement, program, policy or Contract, under which any current or former Business Employee, officer, director, contractor (who is a natural Person) or consultant (who is a natural Person) or their eligible dependents or beneficiaries has any present or future right to benefits and which are entered into, contributed to, sponsored by or maintained by Sellers or any Acquired Entities or any Affiliate; regardless of whether it is mandated under local Law, voluntary, private, funded, unfunded, financed by the purchase of insurance, contributory or noncontributory; provided that any governmental plan or program, including plans or programs requiring the mandatory payment of social insurance taxes or similar contributions to a governmental fund with respect to the wages of an employee, will not be considered a “Company Plan” for these purposes. Section 5.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth an accurate and complete list of each Company Plan indicating those that are Acquired Entity Benefit Plans by jurisdiction.

(b) Sellers have made available to Purchaser an accurate and complete copy of (i) each writing that sets forth the terms of each Acquired Entity Benefit Plan and the Identified Assumed Benefit Plans (together, the Acquired Entity Benefit Plans and the Identified Assumed Benefit Plans, the “Transferring Plans”), including plan documents, plan amendments, any related trusts, all summary plan descriptions and other material summaries and descriptions furnished to participants and beneficiaries, (ii) a written description of any Transferring Plan that

is not otherwise in writing and of any Company Plan that is not a Transferring Plan, (iii) all registration statements filed with respect to any Transferring Plan, (iv) all insurance policies purchased by or to provide benefits under any Transferring Plan, (v) the Form 5500 filed in each of the most recent plan years with respect to each Identified Assumed Benefit Plan and any Company Plan subject to Title IV, including all schedules thereto, financial statements, actuarial reports and the opinions of independent accountants, and (vi) with respect to any Company Plan that meets or purports to meet the requirements of section 401(a) of the Code, the most recent determination letter or opinion letter issued by the IRS for each such Company Plan.

(c) Each Company Plan is in material compliance with all applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code. Except as would not result in material Liability to Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities) after the Closing, (i) each Company Plan is and at all times has been maintained, funded, operated and administered, and (ii) Sellers and the Acquired Entities have performed all of their obligations under each Company Plan, in each case in compliance with the terms of such Company Plan and in material compliance with all applicable Laws. No non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA has occurred with respect to any Company Plan that would result in any Liability to Purchaser or its Affiliates.

(d) Each Company Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or opinion letter to that effect from the IRS and, to the Knowledge of Sellers, no event has occurred since the date of such determination or opinion that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect such determination or opinion and each other Company Plan that is intended to qualify for tax-preferential treatment under applicable Law so qualifies and has received, where required, approval from the applicable Governmental Body that it is so qualified and no event has occurred or circumstance exists that may give rise to disqualification or loss of tax-preferential treatment.

(e) None of the Sellers or any of their ERISA Affiliates contributes to, is obligated to contribute to or has any Liability with respect to any “multiemployer plan” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA. To the Knowledge of Sellers, no condition exists that would subject Purchaser or any Acquired Entities to any direct or indirect liability under Title IV of ERISA. No Transferring Plan is (i) subject to Title IV of ERISA, or (ii) a defined benefit pension plan or other arrangement that provides benefits on a defined benefit basis in the event of retirement or redundancy.

(f) The only Company Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA is the Shiloh Industries, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “DB Retirement Plan”). With respect to the DB Retirement Plan, (i) Sellers have paid all amounts due to the PBGC pursuant to Section 4007 of ERISA, (ii) Sellers have not filed a notice of intent to terminate such Company Plan or has adopted any amendment to treat such plan as terminated and as of the date of this Agreement, the PBGC has not instituted proceedings to treat such Company Plan as terminated, and (iii) no accumulated funding deficiency, whether or not waived, exists. Sellers have not ceased operations at any facility or withdrawn from any Company Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA in a manner that would subject any Acquired Entities or any Sellers to liability under Sections 4062(e), 4063, or 4064 of ERISA. The actuarial valuation report of the DB Retirement Plan for the plan year

beginning on November 1, 2018 (the “2018 Actuarial Valuation Report”) is accurate in all material respects. Based on due inquiry to and information received from the actuary for the DB Retirement Plan, as of August 24, 2020, there has not been a material change in liabilities of the DB Retirement Plan after the 2018 Actuarial Valuation Report. Since October 31, 2019, the DB Retirement Plan has not been amended in a manner that would result in a material increase in liabilities of the DB Retirement Plan.

(g) Except as required by applicable Law, no Company Plan provides health or welfare benefits for any retired or former employee, or their beneficiaries or dependents, nor are any Acquired Entities obligated to provide health or welfare benefits to any active employee following such employee’s retirement or other termination of service.

(h) The plan sponsor of each Identified Assumed Benefit Plan has the right to modify and terminate benefits (other than pensions) under each such Identified Assumed Benefit Plan with respect to both retired and active employees employed or formerly employed or otherwise retained or formerly retained in the operation of the Business without consent of any third party and without penalty or additional material Liability.

(i) Each Company Plan that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) (i) has been operated and maintained, in form and operation, in accordance in all material respects with Section 409A of the Code and applicable related guidance and (ii) does not, by its terms, require any benefit distribution as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(j) The consummation of the Transactions (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) will not cause accelerated vesting, payment or delivery of, or increase the amount or value of any payment or benefit under or in connection with any Transferring Plan or constitute a “deemed severance” or “deemed termination” under any Transferring Plan otherwise with respect to, any current or former Business Employee. No Acquired Entity has made or is obligated to make, as a result of the consummation of the Transactions, any payments that would be nondeductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code. None of the Acquired Entities is required to “gross up” or otherwise compensate any individual because of the imposition of any Taxes on any compensatory payment to such individual.

(k) No Legal Proceeding (other than routine claims for benefits in the Ordinary Course of Business) is pending or, to the Knowledge of Sellers, threatened with respect to any Transferring Plan.

VI. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER

Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Sellers that:

6.1 Organization and Good Standing. Purchaser is a limited liability company organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing and in good standing or to have such power and authority would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

6.2 Authorization of Agreement. Purchaser has all necessary limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement, and the consummation by it of the Transactions and the Financings, have been duly and validly authorized by Purchaser, and no other corporate action on the part of Purchaser is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions and the Financings. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming due and valid authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Sellers, is a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to Enforceability Exceptions.

6.3 Consents and Approvals; No Violations.

(a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation by Purchaser of the Transactions and the Financings do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate the Organizational Documents of Purchaser, (ii) assuming that all consents, approvals and authorizations contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) of subsection (b)

of this Section have been obtained, and all filings described in such clauses have been made, conflict with or violate any Law applicable Purchaser or by which Purchaser or any of its respective properties are bound, or (iii) result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) or result in the loss of a benefit under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, amendment or acceleration of, any Contracts to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser or any of its respective properties are bound, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for any such conflict, violation, breach, default, acceleration, loss, right or other occurrence which would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation by Purchaser of the Transactions and the Financings do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, action by, filing with or notification to, any Governmental Body, except for (i) the applicable requirements, if any, of the Exchange Act and state securities, takeover and “blue sky” Laws, (ii) the applicable requirements of the HSR Act, and (iii) any such consent, approval, authorization, permit, action, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain would not materially affect the ability of Purchaser to consummate the Transactions or the Financings.

6.4 Financial Capability.

(a) Purchaser has delivered to Sellers true, accurate and correct copies of (i) the executed equity commitment letter (together with all exhibits, and annexes thereto, the “Equity Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which the equity investor named therein (the “Investor”) have committed to provide Purchaser with equity financing in the amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”) and (ii) the executed debt commitment letter to Purchaser (together with all exhibits, schedules and annexes thereto, the “Debt Commitment Letter,” and collectively with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letters”) pursuant to which the lender named therein on behalf of itself and its affiliated originating funds (the “Lender” and together with the “Investor”, the “Financing Sources”) have committed to lend to Purchaser the amounts set forth therein (the “Debt Financing,” and collectively with the Equity Financing, the “Financings”), in the case of each of the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), subject to the respective terms and conditions set forth therein. As of the Effective Date, the Commitment Letters are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn or terminated or otherwise amended or modified in any respect. Each Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, the other parties thereto, except as may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions. There are no other agreements, side letters, fee letters, understandings or arrangements relating to the Commitment Letters that would permit a reduction in the total amount of the Financings contemplated by the Commitment Letters (other than as contemplated by the terms thereof in effect on the Effective Date) or impose additional conditions precedent, or permit any party thereto to expand, amend or modify any of the conditions precedent set forth therein or which would limit or delay the obligations of the Investor or Lender to provide sufficient funding to complete the Transactions in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letters or contain any conditions to the consummation of the Transactions or the Financings. As of the Effective Date, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of

Purchaser or its Affiliate(s) (if applicable), or to the knowledge of Purchaser, any of the other parties thereto, under any term or condition of the Commitment Letters. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financings, other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letters. As of the Effective Date, no Financing Source has notified Purchaser in writing of its intention to terminate its commitment under the Commitment Letters. Purchaser has paid in full all commitment or other fees required by the Commitment Letters that are due as of the date hereof. Purchaser has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any condition to the funding of the full amount of the Financings or that the Financings will not be available to Purchaser on the Closing Date.

(b) Assuming (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article V, (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 9.1, Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 and (iii) the performance by each Seller of its obligations contained in this Agreement, the amounts committed under the Commitment Letters are, and at Closing will be, sufficient to (A) pay the Purchase Price, (B) pay all expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and all other amounts payable by Purchaser at the Closing, and (C) provide adequate working capital to the Business at the Closing. Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in this Agreement, upon the consummation of the Transactions, Purchaser will not be insolvent as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code.

6.5 Condition of the Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Sellers are not making any representations or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given by Sellers in Article V (as modified by the Company Disclosure Letter), and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained therein, the Purchased Assets are being transferred on a “where is” and, as to condition, “as is” basis, including with respect to any environmental conditions at, on, in, under or migrating to or from the Purchased Assets.

6.6 Exclusivity of Representations and Warranties. Purchaser acknowledges that except for the representations and warranties made by Sellers in Article V, none of Sellers, the Acquired Entities, any of their respective Affiliates, nor any Representatives of any of the foregoing, make (and neither Purchaser or any other Person has relied upon) any representations or warranties on behalf of Sellers. Purchaser further agrees that neither Sellers nor any other Person will have or be subject to any Liability to Purchaser or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Purchaser, Purchaser’s use of, any such information, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Purchaser in certain “data rooms” or management presentations in expectation of the Transactions. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has conducted its own independent investigation of Sellers, their respective businesses and the Transactions, and has not relied on any representation, warranty or other statement by any Person on behalf of Sellers, other than the representations and warranties of Sellers expressly contained in Article V, and that all other representations and warranties are specifically disclaimed. In connection with any investigation by Purchaser of Sellers, Purchaser has received or may receive from Sellers or its other Representatives on behalf of Sellers certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information in written or verbal communications. Purchaser acknowledges that there are

uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties, that Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to Purchaser (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans). Accordingly, Purchaser acknowledges that neither Sellers nor any other Person on behalf of Sellers make (and neither Purchaser or any other Person has relied upon) any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall limit the liability of Sellers, their Affiliates or any Representatives thereof or restrict any remedies available to Purchaser in the event of a fraud.

VII. BANKRUPTCY COURT MATTERS

As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Sellers will file the voluntary petitions necessary to commence the Bankruptcy Cases and within three (3) Business Days of filing such petition file with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking (a) entry of the Bidding Procedures Order and authorizing the observance and performance of the terms of Section 7.2 and the Bidding Procedures Order by Sellers and Purchaser and (b) entry of the Sale Order, including the approval of this Agreement and the sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser on the terms and conditions hereof if determined to be the “highest or otherwise best offer” in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order.

7.2 Approval of Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement.

(a) In the event that a Competing Bid is consummated, in consideration for Purchaser having expended considerable time and expense in connection with this Agreement and the negotiation thereof and the identification and quantification of assets of Sellers, Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay Purchaser, in accordance with the terms hereof and, subject to the entry of and terms of the Bidding Procedures Order, the Expense Reimbursement Amount plus a break-up fee in an amount equal to three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) of the Base Cash Amount (the “Break-Up Fee” and, together with the Expense Reimbursement Amount, the “Termination Payment”). The Termination Payment shall be paid on the first Business Day following the date of consummation of a Competing Bid from the proceeds of a Competing Bid (or from other assets of Sellers if the Competing Bid does not result in provision of sufficient cash or cash equivalents to Sellers to make such payment). In addition, if (i) this Agreement is terminated other than pursuant to Sections 4.4(b), 4.4(d) and 4.4(e) and (ii) at the time of such termination, Purchaser is not then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that would result in a failure of a condition to the Closing, then Sellers, jointly and severally, will pay the Expense Reimbursement Amount to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three Business Days following such termination of this Agreement.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, each Party may pursue any remedies available to it for such breaches by the other Party prior to such termination, in accordance with the terms

hereof. Purchaser will be entitled to seek specific performance of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.3 while also seeking payment of the Termination Payment, but Purchaser shall not be entitled to both obtain specific performance to cause the Closing to occur and also receive the Termination Payment. Upon payment of the Termination Payment to Purchaser in accordance with this Section 7.2, Sellers and their respective Representatives and Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser and its Representatives and Affiliates, on the other, will be deemed to have fully released and discharged each other from any Liability resulting from the termination of this Agreement and neither Sellers, their Representatives or Affiliates, on the one hand, nor Purchaser, its Representatives or Affiliates, on the other hand, or any other Person will have any other remedy or cause of action under or relating to this Agreement or any applicable Law, including for reimbursement of expenses. The Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall Sellers be required to pay the Termination Payment on more than one occasion.

7.3 Bankruptcy Process.

(a) Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, the sale of the Purchased Assets and the Transactions are subject to higher or otherwise better bids (in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order) and Bankruptcy Court approval. Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge that Sellers must take reasonable steps to demonstrate that they have sought to obtain the highest or otherwise best offer for the Purchased Assets, including giving notice thereof to the creditors of Sellers and other interested parties, providing information about Sellers’ business to prospective bidders, entertaining higher or otherwise better offers from such prospective bidders, and, in the event that additional qualified prospective bidders desire to bid for the Purchased Assets, conducting an auction in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order (the “Auction”). Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that Sellers and their Affiliates will be permitted, and will be permitted to cause their Representatives, to initiate contact with, solicit or encourage submission of any inquiries, proposals or offers by, respond to any unsolicited inquiries, proposals or offers submitted by, and enter into any discussions or negotiations regarding any of the foregoing with, any Person (in addition to Purchaser and its Affiliates, agents and Representatives).

(b) The bidding procedures to be employed with respect to this Agreement and any Auction will be those reflected in the Bidding Procedures Order, which will be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and with such modifications or supplements reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to be bound by and accept the terms and conditions of the Bidding Procedures Order as entered by the Bankruptcy Court to the extent such order is substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and with such modifications or supplements reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.

(c) Purchaser will provide adequate evidence and assurance under the Bankruptcy Code of the future performance by Purchaser of each Purchased Contract. Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, reasonably promptly take all actions reasonably required to assist in obtaining a Bankruptcy Court finding that there has been an adequate demonstration of adequate assurance of future performance under the Purchased Contracts, such as furnishing affidavits, non-confidential financial information and other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court and making Purchaser’s Representatives available to testify before the Bankruptcy Court. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser

will, from and after the Closing Date, (i) assume all Liabilities of Sellers under the Purchased Contracts and (ii) satisfy and perform all of the Liabilities related to each of the Purchased Contracts when the same are due thereunder.

(d) If this Agreement and the sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser on the terms and conditions hereof are determined to be the “highest or otherwise best offer” in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, Purchaser and Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Bankruptcy Court to enter the Sale Order in substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D with such changes or modifications as may be requested by Purchaser or Sellers that are consented to in writing by the other party, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) Sellers covenant and agree that if the Sale Order is entered, the terms of any plan of reorganization or liquidation, or any structured dismissal, of any of the Bankruptcy Cases, submitted by Sellers to the Bankruptcy Court for confirmation will not conflict with, supersede, abrogate, nullify, modify or restrict the terms of this Agreement and the rights of Purchaser hereunder, or in any way prevent or interfere with the consummation or performance of the Transactions including any transaction that is contemplated by or approved pursuant to the Sale Order.

(f) Purchaser agrees to be bound by and accept the terms and conditions of the Sale Order as entered by the Bankruptcy Court to the extent such order is substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D and with such modifications or supplements reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. If the Sale Order or any other orders of the Bankruptcy Court relating to this Agreement are appealed or petition for certiorari or motion for rehearing or reargument is filed with respect thereto, Sellers agree to take all action as may be commercially reasonable and appropriate to defend against such appeal, petition or motion and Purchaser agrees to cooperate in such efforts and each Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an expedited resolution of such appeal.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement will restrict Sellers or their Affiliates from selling, disposing of or otherwise transferring any Excluded Assets or from settling, delegating or otherwise transferring any Excluded Liabilities, or from entering into discussions or agreements with respect to the foregoing.

VIII. COVENANTS

8.1 Access to Information. From the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Purchaser will be entitled, through its Representatives, to make such investigation of the properties, offices, plants and other facilities, books and records (including Tax Returns of any Acquired Entity and Tax Returns that relate solely to the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities, it being understood that Sellers shall not be obligated to provide to Purchaser copies of any consolidated income Tax Returns of Sellers) of Sellers and the Acquired Entities as it reasonably requests in furtherance of the consummation of the Transactions. Any such investigation and examination will be conducted upon reasonable advance notice and under reasonable circumstances, will occur only during normal business hours and will be subject to restrictions under applicable Law. Sellers will provide reasonable access to their respective

Representatives and the Representatives of the Acquired Entity and shall direct such Representatives to cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives in connection with such investigation and examination and to furnish Purchaser with such financial, operating and other data and information as Purchaser may reasonably request and shall permit Purchaser to make extracts and copies of such books and records, in each case in furtherance of the consummation of the Transactions. Purchaser and its Representatives will cooperate with Sellers and their Representatives.

8.3 Consents; Environmental Permits.

(a) Sellers and Purchaser will use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain at the earliest practicable date all consents and approvals contemplated by this Agreement, including the consents and approvals referred to in Section 5.3 and the Necessary Consents; provided, however, that none of Sellers or Purchaser (other than with respect to Assumed Cure Costs) will be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom consent or approval is requested or to initiate any Legal Proceedings to obtain any such consent or approval. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that obtaining any such authorizations, consents and approvals, giving such notices and making such filings will not be a condition to Closing.

(b) Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other and, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Date use reasonable best efforts to obtain the transfer or reissuance to Purchaser of all Environmental Permits necessary to lawfully own and operate the Business and Purchased Assets. The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any requests for additional information made by such agencies, and use respective reasonable best efforts to cause regulatory approval to be obtained as soon as practicable after the date of filing. Each Party will bear its costs of the preparation and review of any such filing. Sellers and Purchaser shall have the right to review in advance all characterizations of the information relating to the Transactions which appear in any filings to transfer the Environmental Permits and the filing Party shall consider in good faith any revisions reasonably requested by the non-filing Party.

8.4 Reasonable Best Efforts; Consents to Assignment.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and without limiting the generality of Section 7.2(a) or Section 8.4(d), each of the Parties will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including the prompt preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Transactions and the taking of such commercially reasonable actions as are necessary to obtain any requisite approvals, consents, orders, exemptions or waivers by any Governmental Body or any other

Person, including filings pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) and any actions necessary to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act. Each Party will promptly consult with the others with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to, and provide the other Parties (or their counsel) copies of, all filings made by such party with any Governmental Body or any other Person or any other information supplied by such Party to a Governmental Body or any other Person in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. Purchaser and Sellers will make all filings under the HSR Act as promptly as practicable, and no later than 10 Business Days, following the Effective Date. Purchaser and Sellers will make all filings (i) under the HSR Act ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date and (ii) all filings required under any Other Antitrust Regulations within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Effective Date (unless the Parties jointly agree to alternate timing). Purchaser will be responsible for all filing fees under the HSR Act or any Other Antitrust Regulations applicable to Purchaser.

(b) The parties may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other parties under this Section 8.4 as “outside counsel” or “outside counsel and corporate in-house counsel with responsibility for antitrust and regulatory matters only.” Such materials and the information contained therein will be given only to the designated counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel and / or corporate in-house counsel with responsibility for antitrust or regulatory matters to the directors, officers or employees (other than corporate in-house counsel with responsibility for antitrust and regulatory matters if permitted) of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials or its legal counsel; provided that materials provided pursuant to this Section 8.4 may be redacted by the producing party to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements and as necessary to address reasonable privilege considerations.

(c) Each Party will promptly inform the others of any communication from any Governmental Body (other than the Bankruptcy Court or the Office of the United States Trustee) regarding any of the Transactions and promptly provide the others with copies of all related correspondence or filings. If any Party or Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Body (other than the Bankruptcy Court or the Office of the United States Trustee) with respect to the Transactions, then such Party will endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other Party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Each Party will provide any necessary information and reasonable assistance as the others may request in connection with its preparation of any additional necessary filings or submissions to any Governmental Body, including any additional filings necessary under the HSR Act.

(d) Neither Sellers nor Purchaser will independently participate in any meeting with any Governmental Body (other than the Bankruptcy Court or the Office of the United States Trustee) in respect of any findings or inquiry in connection with the Transactions without giving, in the case of Sellers, Purchaser, and in the case of Purchaser, Sellers, prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent reasonably practicable and not prohibited by the applicable Governmental Body, the opportunity to attend and/or participate in such meeting.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall, in all cases in good faith consultation with Sellers to the extent such consultation is reasonably practicable, (i) determine the timing and strategy for and be solely in control of the final content of any substantive oral or written communications with any applicable Governmental Body except responses to inquiries directed solely to Sellers by such Governmental Body and (ii) lead all proceedings and coordinate all activities with respect to seeking any consents, approvals, or expiration of applicable waiting periods in connection with the HSR Act and Other Antitrust Regulations.

(f) Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to resolve all objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Body with respect to the Transactions under the HSR Act or any Other Antitrust Regulation, such that the Transactions may be consummated prior to the Termination Date. To the extent any Legal Proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any Transaction as violative of the HSR Act or any Other Antitrust Regulation, each of the Parties will cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such Legal Proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Transactions, unless Sellers and Purchaser agree in writing that litigation is not in their respective best interests. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, in no event will Purchaser, or any of its Affiliates, be obligated to (i) enter into any agreement, consent decree or other commitment requiring the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to divest (including through the granting of any license rights) or hold separate any assets or (ii) take any other action that would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, properties, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), operating results, operations or prospects of any of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(g) Nothing in this Section 8.4 will be construed to limit the generality of Section 7.2(a).

8.5 Publicity. With the exception of press releases issued by Sellers and Purchaser on the Effective Date and the Closing Date in forms mutually agreeable to the Company and Purchaser, Purchaser and Sellers will not issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the Transactions without obtaining the prior written approval of the other Parties, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that such consent will not be required if disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that Purchaser or Sellers, as applicable, will use its or their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law or Bankruptcy Court requirement to consult with the other Parties with respect to the text of any such required disclosure.

8.6 Confidentiality. Purchaser acknowledges that Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) has been, and in the future will be, provided to it in connection with this Agreement, including under Section 8.1 and Section 8.11, and is subject to the terms of the confidentiality agreement dated June 10, 2020 between the Company and MiddleGround Management, L.P., an Affiliate of Purchaser (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Purchaser acknowledges and

understands that this Agreement and related documents may be publicly filed in the Bankruptcy Court and further made available by Sellers to prospective bidders or contract counterparties and that, such disclosure will not be deemed to violate any confidentiality obligations owing to Purchaser, whether pursuant to this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement or otherwise. The obligations of MiddleGround Management, L.P. under the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate upon consummation of the Closing, other than solely with respect to any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities.

8.7 Access Agreements. Prior to the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser will negotiate mutually acceptable terms of an agreement providing Sellers with access, for a period of at least 12 months following the Closing Date, to Purchaser’s personnel, including the Transferred Employees, information technology systems, including email, third party service providers and books and records, and use of office space and office support for employees of Sellers, as is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration of the Bankruptcy Case and to permit Sellers to wind-down and liquidate Sellers’ Bankruptcy estates following the Closing.

8.8 Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser will, or will cause one or more of its Affiliates or designees to, offer employment to all or substantially all of the Business Employees, in each case with such employment to commence immediately following the Closing. Sellers and their Affiliates will cooperate with and use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser and its Affiliates in their efforts to secure the transition of the relevant Business Employees to Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers and their Affiliates will (i) at such times as Purchaser may reasonably request after providing Sellers with reasonable advance notice, cooperate with Purchaser and permit Purchaser to speak with and meet with Business Employees to discuss such Business Employee’s employment with Purchaser after the Closing and (ii) provide all relevant information in their possession necessary for Purchaser to offer employment to the relevant Business Employees, including for the hiring and transfer of the Transferred Employees, including all relevant payroll, compensation, benefits participation, annual vacation entitlement (and the amount of accrued vacation in the current fiscal year) and withholding tax information with respect to the Business Employees employed by any Seller; provided, that Purchaser will not have access to personnel records of any Seller the disclosure of which is prohibited by applicable Law. Business Employees employed by any Seller who accept offers of employment from Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser are referred to as “Transferred Employees”. Purchaser agrees to provide credit to the Transferred Employees for all periods of service with Seller and their Affiliates upon commencing their employment with Purchaser for purposes of eligibility for and calculation of benefits, vacation, paid time off and participation under any benefit plans maintained by Purchaser but, unless otherwise required by applicable Law only to the extent such service (A) was recognized under the relevant similar Company Plan and (B) does not result in a duplication of benefits. For a 6-month period following the Closing, Purchaser will provide each Transferred Employee with (i) a base salary or standard hourly wage substantially comparable to that provided by the applicable Seller to such Transferred Employee at the time of the Closing and (ii) employee benefits comparable in aggregate to those offered to such Transferred Employee under the Identified Assumed Benefit Plans.

(b) Purchaser shall assume any and all Collective Bargaining Agreements included within the Assumed Liabilities. To the extent required by applicable Law or any Collective Bargaining Agreement, Purchaser shall recognize and engage in collective bargaining with any Union representing any Transferred Employee and any Business Employee of any Acquired Entity.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Business Employees of the Acquired Entities shall continue to be employed by the Acquired Entities as of the Closing.

(d) Purchaser and Seller shall take all actions necessary to cause the sponsorship of the Assumed Benefit Plans to transfer to Purchaser and to facilitate Purchaser’s assumption of the Liabilities associated with the Assumed Benefit Plans, in each case effective as of the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing Date and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Sellers shall cause the accrued benefit under any Company Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code which is not an Assumed Benefit Plan to be fully vested. Sellers will be responsible for providing “continuation coverage” required under Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”) for each “M&A qualified beneficiary” (as that term is defined under the regulations issued under Section 4980B of the Code) who is entitled to COBRA by reason of a “qualifying event” described under Section 4980B(f)(3)(F) of the Code. Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser will be responsible for providing COBRA for each “M&A qualified beneficiary” who is entitled to COBRA by reason of a “qualifying event” under Sections 4980B(f)(3)(A)-(E) of the Code that occurs before, on or after the Closing.

(e) To the extent permitted by Law, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with copies of all records, data and documentation relating to any Assumed Benefit Plans which are in its possession and shall direct each person who provides services in relation to the Assumed Benefit Plans to make available to Purchaser any and all records, data and documentation relating to the Assumed Benefit Plans that such person would be required to provide or make available to Seller on the request of Seller. Seller and Purchaser shall arrange with Assumed Benefit Plan vendors, insurers and other service providers for the execution of all documents necessary to effectuate the transfer of the Assumed Benefit Plans.

(f) Purchaser’s employment of the Transferred Employees will be “at will” and may be terminated by Purchaser and/or any of its Affiliates at any time for any reason, subject to applicable Law.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement will (i) create any third-party rights in any Business Employees or any current or former employees or other service providers of any Seller or any Seller Affiliate (or any beneficiaries or dependents of the foregoing) or in any other person, (ii) constitute an amendment to any Company Plan or in any other benefit plan of Seller, Purchaser or their Affiliates or (iii) obligate Purchaser, Sellers, the Acquired Entities or any of their respective Affiliates to maintain any particular employee benefit plan, program or arrangement.

(h) Sellers shall be responsible for any notices required to be given under the WARN Act relating to any acts or omissions on or prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be responsible for any notices required to be given under and shall otherwise comply with all Liabilities arising under the WARN Act relating to any acts or omissions after the Closing Date.

(i) Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser an updated Schedule 5.10(b)(i) setting forth as of such date all Business Employees employed by Sellers.

8.9 Releases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, effective upon the Closing, (a) Purchaser (individually and on behalf of its Affiliates) hereby releases and waives any and all actual or potential claims, causes of action, Legal Proceedings and/or Liabilities, of whatever kind or nature (including attorneys’ fees and costs), in law or equity, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, now existing or hereafter arising, whether contractual, in tort or otherwise, which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates had, have, or may have in the future against each Seller and each of its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns and all of their respective Representatives relating in any way to the Purchased Assets (including any environmental conditions, violations of Environmental Law or Releases of Hazardous Materials existing at, on, under or migrating from the Real Property) or the Assumed Liabilities and (b) each Seller (individually and on behalf of its Affiliates) hereby releases and waives any and all actual or potential claims, causes of action, Legal Proceedings and/or Liabilities of whatever kind or nature (including attorneys’ fees and costs), in law or equity, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, now existing or hereafter arising, whether contractual, in tort or otherwise, which such Seller or Affiliate thereof had, have, or may have in the future against Purchaser and each of its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns and all of their respective Representatives relating in any way to the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities; provided that (i) nothing in this Agreement will constitute a release of any Person arising from conduct of such Person that is determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted an actual fraud, willful breach, knowing and intentional misrepresentation or criminal act by such Person and (ii) nothing in this Agreement will be construed to release any Person from any of its contractual obligations under this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated by the Transactions, including its obligations in respect of the Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities, Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities, as the case may be, each of which will remain fully effective and enforceable from and after the Closing Date.

8.10 Bulk Transfer Laws. Purchaser acknowledges that Sellers will not comply with the provisions of any bulk transfer Laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the Transactions, and hereby waives all claims related to the non-compliance therewith.

8.11 Financing.

(a) Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are not subject to any condition regarding Purchaser’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereunder. Purchaser will use reasonable best efforts to arrange, consummate and obtain the Financings on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters, including (i) maintaining in effect and full force the Commitment Letters in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) negotiating and entering into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contained in the Debt

Commitment Letter, (iii) satisfying on a timely basis at or prior to Closing all conditions applicable to Purchaser contained in the Commitment Letters, and (iv) complying with its obligations under the Commitment Letters. Purchaser shall prevent any potential or threatened breach of the Equity Commitment Letter and shall specifically enforce the terms and provisions of the Equity Commitment Letter, including specific performance of covenants, promises or agreements contained therein or obtaining an Order enjoining any party thereto from any threatened, or from the continuation of any actual, breach of the covenants, promises or agreements contained in the Equity Commitment Letter. In the event that, in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser, all conditions applicable to the Debt Commitment Letter have been satisfied, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Lender to fund the Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date.

(b) Purchaser shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of Purchaser’s efforts to arrange the Financing and promptly provide to the Company copies of all material definitive documents related to the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters. Purchaser shall give the Company prompt notice: (i) of any material breach by any party to the Commitment Letters or Debt Agreements of which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates becomes aware; and (ii) of the receipt by Purchaser of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing Source under the Commitment Letters with respect to any (A) material breach or termination or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letters or any Debt Agreements of any provisions of the Commitment Letters or any Debt Agreements, or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Commitment Letters or any Debt Agreements.

(c) If Purchaser becomes aware that the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter has become unavailable on the respective terms and conditions contemplated therein, in whole or in part, for any or no reason, Purchaser will promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) notify the Company thereof and will use its reasonable best efforts to as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event arrange for alternative financing from other sources (which alternative financing shall be in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions on the terms contemplated in this Agreement) on terms and conditions not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Purchaser and its Affiliates than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (such financing, the “Alternative Financing”) and to obtain new financing commitment letters with respect to such Alternative Financing (including all exhibits, annexes, schedules, term sheets, and executed fee letters attached thereto or contemplated thereby, collectively, the “Alternative Commitment Letters”). Purchaser shall promptly provide to the Company copies of the Alternative Commitment Letters (it being agreed and understood that any fee letters included in the Alternative Commitment Letters may be redacted to omit the numerical amounts provided therein or any other provision thereof (relating to the terms not affecting conditionality) as may be reasonably required by the lenders that are counterparties thereto (the “Alternative Lenders”)).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion and without the prior written consent of any Seller, permit or cause replacement, termination, amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter if such replacement, termination, amendment, modification, or waiver (i) does not add new conditions or modifications to any existing conditions, in each case, in a manner that would be reasonably expected to delay or prevent the Closing or make the funding of the Debt Financing less likely to occur, (ii) does not reduce the committed amount of the Debt Financing to an amount that would cause Purchaser to not have sufficient funds to consummate the Transactions on the terms contemplated in this Agreement, or (iii) does not materially and adversely impact the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Agreements. Purchaser shall promptly provide to the Company copies of any commitment letters, or amendments, modifications or waivers thereof, entered into pursuant to this Section 8.11(d) (it being agreed and understood that any fee letters included in such documents may be redacted to omit the numerical amounts provided therein or any other provision thereof (relating to the terms not affecting conditionality) as may be reasonably required by the lenders that are counterparties thereto).

violation or breach of, or default under, any agreement to which such Seller is a party, in each case under this clause (7) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel and provided that Sellers shall otherwise use reasonable efforts to take such action in a way that would not result in any such conflict, violation, breach or default. Any information provided to the Purchaser or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 8.11 will be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 8.6.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained in this Section 8.11 shall require, and in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Purchaser require, Purchaser to (i) seek the Equity Financing from any source other than the Investor or in any amount in excess of that contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter or (ii) pay any fees in excess of those contemplated by the Commitment Letters.

8.12 Notification of Certain Matters.

8.13 Sale Free and Clear. Sellers acknowledge and agree, and the Sale Order shall be drafted to provide, without limitation, that, (a) on the Closing Date and concurrently with the Closing, all then-existing Liens against or created by Sellers, any of their Affiliates, or the bankruptcy estate, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be fully released from and with respect to the Purchased Assets and (b) Purchaser is not a successor to any Seller or the bankruptcy estate by reason of any theory of law or equity, and Purchaser shall not assume or in any way be responsible for any Liability of Sellers, any of their Affiliates (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, indirectly by means of the acquisition of the Acquired Entities) and/or the bankruptcy estate, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Closing Date, the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to Purchaser free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Exceptions or Transferred Exceptions) to the fullest extent permitted by Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

8.16 Specified Matters Escrow. If, from and after the Closing and during the term of the Escrow Agreement, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities) incurs any costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), losses, damages, assessments, settlements, financial obligations or judgements (“Losses”), including any Losses arising under Title IV of ERISA, arising under or in connection with the DB Retirement Plan or any inaccuracy in the first sentence of Section 5.9(f) (collectively, the “Specified Matters Losses”), Purchaser may, notwithstanding anything in Section 11.1 to the contrary, recover any such Specified Matters Losses from the Specified Matters Escrow Account. Subject to the proviso in Section 8.9 and without limiting, abrogating or affecting in any way the rights or remedies of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates hereunder in respect of Excluded Liabilities, (a) the rights provided in this Sections 8.16 and pursuant to the Escrow Agreement will be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Purchaser against any Seller with respect to any Specified Matters Losses and (b) Purchaser and its Affiliates will not be entitled to receive more than the Specified Matters Escrow Amount as recovery from the Sellers for such Losses. All payments made pursuant to this Section 8.16 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price (including for U.S. federal, state, foreign or any local Tax purposes), unless otherwise required under applicable Law.

The Sellers agree to reasonably assist Purchaser’s efforts to obtain prior to the Closing, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, (a) standard ALTA 2006 extended coverage owner’s policies of title insurance in connection with the Owned Real Property, with liability amounts in the amounts reasonably requested by Purchaser and consistent with the values of the Owned Real Property determined in accordance with the Allocation Principles, in each case showing fee simple title to the Owned Real Property vested in the Person designated in writing by Purchaser, with such endorsements as Purchaser may reasonably request, subject only to Permitted Exceptions, (b) ALTA/NSPS land title surveys depicting the Owned Real Property, prepared by a nationally recognized licensed surveyor, and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser and (c) such owner’s affidavits and other documentation reasonably requested by a title insurance company in connection with the issuance of the title policies contemplated by clause (a) of this Section 8.17, provided that no such affidavit or documentation shall include any representations, warranties or indemnities which expand upon the representations, warranties and/or indemnities otherwise made by any Seller herein (and subject to all the limitations related thereto as provided herein). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser agrees that the receipt by Purchaser of the title policies or surveys shall in no event be a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.18 Dutch Borrower’s Credit Agreement Obligations. At Closing, the Sellers will use reasonable best efforts (a) to pay in full all of the Dutch Borrower’s Credit Agreement Obligations to the applicable holders of such Dutch Borrower’s Credit Agreement Obligations and (b) to deliver or cause to be delivered such corporate approvals and documentation required to authorize and effect such repayment, including a share premium contribution agreement and letter of direction in respect of any amounts paid by or on behalf of the Dutch Acquired Holding Entity to repay such Dutch Borrower’s Credit Agreement Obligations, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.

X. TAXES

10.1 Transfer Taxes.

(a) All documentary, stamp, transfer, motor vehicle registration, VAT, excise and other similar direct or indirect non-income or transfer Taxes and all filing and recording fees (and any penalties and interest associated with such Taxes and fees) arising from or relating to the consummation of the Transactions, including, if applicable, any Taxes or fees (and any penalties and interest on such Taxes or fees) under the People’s Republic of China State Taxation Administration Bulletin [2015] No.7, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), will be borne as follows regardless of the Party on whom Liability is imposed under the provisions of the Laws relating to such Transfer Taxes: (a) Purchaser shall be responsible for Transfer Taxes in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate and (b) Sellers shall, jointly and severally, be responsible for the amount of any Transfer Taxes in excess of such amount. Sellers and Purchaser will consult and cooperate in timely preparing and making all filings, Tax Returns, reports and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of the Laws relating to such Transfer Taxes and will cooperate and otherwise take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any available refunds for or exemptions from such Transfer Taxes, including preparing exemption certificates and other instruments as are applicable to claim available exemptions from the payment of Transfer Taxes under applicable Law and executing and delivering such affidavits and forms as are reasonably requested by the other Party.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1(a), the Sellers may make a valid election under the MITL to be taxed on a net basis on any gain resulting from the sale and transfer of the Mexican Acquired Entities. In such case, the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates will not withhold any amount from the Purchase Price under articles 171, 174 of the MITL and 26(v) of the Mexican Federal Fiscal Code.

(c) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers will provide to the Purchaser or its Affiliate (i) a copy of the public deed in which the Sellers appointed a Representative in Mexico for Tax purposes, and (ii) a letter duly signed by their Representatives in which Sellers inform the Purchaser about the election made under the MITL and the appointment of a Representative in Mexico for Tax purposes in connection with the Transactions. If for whatever reason, the Sellers do not provide such notice to the Purchaser or its Affiliate as described in the preceding sentence, then the Purchaser or its Affiliate shall be obliged and entitled to withhold an amount equivalent to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price as required under the MITL. Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, the Sellers will provide to the Purchaser or its Affiliate (i) a copy of the Tax Return filed with the Mexico Tax Authority in which the Sellers prove the Tax was paid, if any, (ii) a copy of the notice filed with the Mexico Tax Authority under the MITL stating that the election has been

made to pay the Tax of 35% on the net gain and (iii) a copy of the report from a qualified certified public accountant certifying that the Tax was calculated in accordance with applicable Law.

(d) The Sellers will be the sole responsible party before the Purchaser and its Affiliates, and before any third party, including any Governmental Body, for any errors or omissions in the obligations stated in Section 10.1(b) and Section 10.1(c) regarding the calculation, payment and compliance with any Tax obligation of the Sellers resulting from the transfer of the Mexican Acquired Entities, including any fines and penalties (collectively, the “Mexican Taxes”).

10.2 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) Purchaser and each Seller agree to allocate and, as applicable, to cause their relevant Affiliates to allocate, the Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as consideration for Tax purposes, among Sellers and among the Purchased Assets of each Seller pursuant to the principles set forth in Schedule 10.2(a) (the “Allocation Principles”).

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, but no later than 30 days thereafter, Purchaser will prepare and deliver to Sellers an allocation schedule that will be prepared in accordance with the Allocation Principles, and will set forth the amounts to be allocated among Sellers and among the Purchased Assets of each Seller pursuant to (and to the extent necessary to comply with) Section 1060 of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder (or, if applicable, any similar provision under state, local or foreign Law or regulation) (the “Proposed Allocation Statement”). Sellers will have 20 Business Days following delivery of the Proposed Allocation Statement during which to notify Purchaser in writing (an “Allocation Notice of Objection”) of any objections to the Proposed Allocation Statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of their objections. If Sellers fail to deliver an Allocation Notice of Objection in accordance with this Section 10.2(b), the Proposed Allocation Statement will be conclusive and binding on all Parties and will become the “Final Allocation Statement.” If Sellers submit an Allocation Notice of Objection, then for 10 Business Days after the date Purchaser receives the Allocation Notice of Objection, Purchaser and Sellers will use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the allocations. Failing such agreement within 10 Business Days of such notice, the unresolved allocations will be submitted to an independent, internationally-recognized accounting firm mutually agreeable to Purchaser and Sellers, which firm will be instructed to determine its best estimate of the allocation schedule based on its determination of the unresolved allocations and provide a written description of the basis for its determination within 45 Business Days after submission, such written determination to be final, binding and conclusive. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm will be apportioned among Sellers and Purchaser equally.

(c) Sellers and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates will report, act, and file Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Final Allocation Statement, and will not take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Final Allocation Statement, in each case, except to the extent otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

10.3 Cooperation. Purchaser and Sellers will cooperate fully with each other regarding Tax matters to the extent commercially reasonable and will make available to the other as reasonably requested all information, records and documents relating to Taxes governed by this Agreement until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or extension thereof or the conclusion of all audits, appeals or litigation with respect to such Taxes.

10.4 Straddle Periods. For all purposes of this Agreement, Taxes for any Straddle Period will be allocated as follows: (a) in the case of Taxes based on capitalization, debt or shares of stock authorized, issued or outstanding, or ad valorem Taxes, the portion of such Taxes allocated to the period ending on the Closing Date will be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire taxable period, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (b) in the case of any other Taxes, the portion of such Taxes allocated to the period ending on the Closing Date will be determined on the basis of an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date.

10.5 Section 338 Election. Purchaser shall not be entitled to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code (or any similar provision of any state or local Law) with respect to any Acquired Entity (each, a “Section 338(g) Election”) unless Purchaser notifies Sellers in writing of its intent to make one or more Section 338(g) Elections together with its delivery of the Proposed Allocation Statement pursuant to Section 10.2(b). If Purchaser so notifies Sellers of its intent to make one or more Section 338(g) Elections, Sellers shall have twenty (20) Business Days following such notification during which to object to any Section 338(g) Election on the basis that such Section 338(g) Election would be reasonably likely to cause a material adverse tax consequence for Sellers, together with reasonable detail evidencing the basis of their objections. If Sellers so object, Purchaser shall not make any Section 338(g) Election unless Purchaser agrees to compensate Sellers for any incremental Tax liability incurred by Sellers resulting therefrom, in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the Sellers’ actual cash Tax liability for the taxable period that includes the Closing Date, taking into account the Section 338(g) Election(s), over (2) the Sellers’ hypothetical cash Tax liability for the taxable period that includes the Closing Date, had the Section 338(g) Election(s) not been made (the “Section 338(g) Gross-Up”). For ten (10) Business Days after any such objection by Sellers, Purchaser and Sellers will use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon the amount of the Section 338(g) Gross-Up relating to any Section 338(g) Elections Purchaser still intends to make. Failing such agreement within ten (10) Business Days of such objection by Sellers, the issue will be submitted to an independent, internationally-recognized accounting firm mutually agreeable to Purchaser and Sellers, which firm will be instructed to determine its best estimate of the Section 338(g) Gross-Up and provide a written description of the basis for its determination within forty-five (45) Business Days after submission, such written determination to be final, binding and conclusive. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm will be apportioned among Sellers and Purchaser equally.

11.3 Injunctive Relief.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damages 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 damages at law may be an inadequate remedy for the breach of any of the covenants, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement, and, accordingly, subject to Section 11.3(c), any Party will be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent any such breach, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including specific performance of such covenants, promises or agreements (including, for the avoidance of doubt and subject to Section 11.3(c), Purchaser’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to effect the Closing) or an Order enjoining a Party from any threatened, or from the continuation of any actual, breach of the covenants, promises or agreements contained in this Agreement. The rights set forth in this Section 11.3 will be in addition to any other rights which a Party may have at law or in equity pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) The Parties hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by Purchaser or Sellers, as applicable, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the respective covenants and obligations of Purchaser or Sellers, as applicable, under this Agreement all in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.3.

11.4 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Without limiting any Party’s right to appeal any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court will retain exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the Transactions, and (ii) any and all Legal Proceedings related to the foregoing will be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court, and the Parties hereby consent to and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court for such purposes and will receive notices at such locations as indicated in Section 11.8; provided, however, that if the Bankruptcy Cases have been closed pursuant to Section 350 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Parties agree to unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) and any appellate court from any thereof, for the resolution of any such claim or dispute. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(b) Each of the Parties hereby consents to process being served by any other Party in any Legal Proceeding by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.8; provided, however, that such service will not be effective until the actual receipt thereof by the Party being served.

11.5 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Each Party to this Agreement waives any right to trial by jury in any Legal Proceeding regarding this Agreement or any provision hereof (including any Legal Proceedings against or involving any Lender arising out of this Agreement or the Debt Financing).

11.6 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement represents the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the definition of “Seller Material Adverse Effect” and the provisions of this Section 11.6 and Sections 11.4, 11.5, 11.7, 11.10, and 11.11 (and the definitions related thereto) that are related to the Lender may not be amended or modified in whole or in part in a manner materially adverse to a Lender without the written consent of the adversely affected Lender. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, will be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any

other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.

11.7 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with federal bankruptcy Law, to the extent applicable, other federal law, where applicable, and, where state Law is implicated, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed in such State. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties agree that, except as specifically set forth in the Debt Agreements, all claims or causes of action (whether at law, in equity, in Contract, in tort or otherwise) against any of the Lender in any way relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the performance thereof or the Transactions or contemplated thereby will be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of laws of another jurisdiction. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Parties agrees that it will not bring or support any Person in any Legal Proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in Contract or in tort or otherwise, against any of the Lender in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to any Debt Agreement or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, in any forum other than (i) New York state courts sitting in the County of New York or (ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Borough of Manhattan).

11.8 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand, (b) when sent by email (with written confirmation of transmission), or (c) one Business Day following the day sent by overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses and email addresses (or to such other address or email address as a Party may have specified by notice given to the other Party pursuant to this provision):

11.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement will 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 will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.10 Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement will create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person or entity not a party to this Agreement; provided, that the Lender are intended third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, the provisions of this Section 11.10 and Sections 11.4, 11.5, 11.6, 11.7 and 11.11 (and the definitions related thereto) that are related to the Lender. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Sellers or Purchaser (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties and any attempted assignment without the required consents will be void; provided, however, that (a) Purchaser may assign some or all of its rights or delegate some or all of its obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates, to its lenders as collateral security or, after the Closing Date, to an acquirer of Purchaser or substantially all of its assets and (b) Sellers may assign some or all of their rights or delegate some or all of their obligations hereunder to successor entities (including any liquidating trust) pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, in the case of each clause (a) and (b) without any other Party’s consent. No assignment of any obligations hereunder will relieve the Parties of any such obligations. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Sellers or Purchaser will also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

11.11 Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholder, manager, agent, attorney, Representative or Affiliate of the Parties or any of their Affiliates (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) will have any Liability for any obligations or Liabilities of Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, under this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection herewith of or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby may only be brought against Persons that are expressly named as Parties or thereto, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein or therein. Other than the Parties, no other Person will have any Liability or obligation for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations or Liabilities of any Party under this Agreement or the agreements, documents or instruments contemplated hereby or of or for any Legal Proceeding based on, in respect of, or by reason of, Transactions (including the breach, termination or failure to consummate such transactions), in each case whether based on contract, tort, fraud, strict liability, other Laws or otherwise and whether by piercing the corporate veil, by a claim by or on behalf of a Party or another Person or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, Sellers agree on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates that the Lender will have no liability or obligation to any Seller or any Acquired Entity or any of their respective Affiliates relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions (including the Debt Financing) (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser and its Affiliates (if applicable) shall have recourse against, and nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or modify the rights of Purchaser and its Affiliates (if applicable) against (or the obligations of), the Lender pursuant to the terms of the Debt Agreements). This Section 11.11 is intended to benefit and may be enforced by each Non-Recourse Party and the Lender (and each such Person will be a third party beneficiary of this Section 11.11) and will be binding on all the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.

11.12 Joint and Several Liability. The liability of Sellers under this Agreement shall be joint and several.

11.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

11.14 Disclosure Schedules. The Company may have included in the Company Disclosure Letter items that are not material in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgement or representation or warranty that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement. Any matter set forth in any Schedule of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be referred to and incorporated in any other Schedule to which it is specifically referenced or cross referenced, and also in all other Schedules of the Company Disclosure Letter to which such matter’s application or relevance is reasonably apparent on its face. Nothing contained in any Schedule of the Company Disclosure Letter should be construed as an admission of liability or responsibility of any party to any third party in connection with any pending or threatened action. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in any Schedule of the Company Disclosure Letter, in no event shall the listing or disclosure of any information or document in any Schedule of the Company

Disclosure Letter or in the documents referred to or incorporated by reference in any such Schedule of the Company Disclosure Letter constitute or be deemed to imply any representation, warranty, undertaking, covenant or other obligation of the Company not expressly set out in this Agreement or shall such disclosure be construed as extending the scope of any representation or warranty, undertaking, covenant or obligation set out in this Agreement.
