1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Such time and date are referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”. Subject to the provisions of Article 7 of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger on the date and time and at the place determined pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall not result in the termination of this Agreement and shall not relieve any party to this Agreement of any obligation under this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall be the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

(i) Company Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Company Stockholder, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1.7 and throughout this Agreement, (A) each outstanding share of Series AA Preferred Stock (other than Company Treasury Stock and Dissenting Shares) shall be canceled and extinguished and converted automatically into (1) the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest) equal to (i) for each Company Stockholder possessing Series AA Preferred Stock shall receive the amount set forth opposite their name in Section 1.7(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Series AA Preferential Amount Per Share”); (2) the Per Share Closing Participation Consideration for such share, (3) the right to receive upon payment of the Note and subject to Article 6, the Note Amount Per Share for such share, and (4) the right to receive the Earn-Out Amount Per Share at the time and on the terms set forth in the Earn-Out Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Earn-Out Agreement”); and (B) each outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than Company Treasury Stock and Dissenting Shares) shall be canceled and extinguished and converted automatically into (1) the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the Per Share Closing Participation Consideration for such share, (2) the right to receive upon payment of the Note and subject to Article 6, the Note Amount Per Share for such share, and (3) the right to receive the Earn-Out Amount Per Share at the time and on the terms set forth in the Earn-Out Agreement, in each case of subsection (A) and (B) above subject to reduction for applicable Tax withholding, upon the surrender of the applicable Certificate (or alternatively, a Lost Instrument Affidavit and a Lost Instrument Indemnity Agreement), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the manner provided herein. From and after the Effective Time, each share of Company Capital Stock that is canceled and converted into the right to receive that portion of the Merger Consideration by virtue of the Merger pursuant to this Section 1.7(b)(i) shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate formerly representing each such share of Company Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, that portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of each share of Company Capital Stock evidenced by such certificate pursuant to this Section 1.7(b)(i) (subject to reduction for applicable Tax withholding), upon the surrender of the applicable Certificate (or alternatively, a Lost Instrument Affidavit and a Lost Instrument Indemnity Agreement) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the manner provided herein. For purposes of calculating the amount of cash payable to each Company Stockholder in respect of such Company Stockholder’s shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 1.7(b)(i), (A) all of the shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder shall be aggregated on a certificate-by-certificate basis, if applicable, and (B) the amount of cash payable in respect of each such certificate shall be rounded down to the nearest cent.

(ii) Company Treasury Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, each share of Company Capital Stock that is outstanding and owned by the Company as treasury stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Company Treasury Stock”) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor and shall thereupon cease to exist.

(A) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time eligible under Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) to exercise appraisal rights and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand, and properly demands, appraisal of such shares pursuant to Section 262, and complies in all respects with the provisions of Section 262 and has not effectively withdrawn or lost the right to demand relief as a dissenting stockholder under the DGCL as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i), and the holder or holders of such shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder or holders under Section 262. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.7(b)(iii)(A), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal under Section 262, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be canceled and converted into and represent only the right to receive that portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i), without interest, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.

(B) The Company shall (1) comply with the requirements of Section 262, (2) give Parent prompt notice of any written demand received by the Company pursuant to Section 262 and of withdrawal of any such demand, and provide copies of any documents or instruments served with respect thereto pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company, and (3) give Parent the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand unless Parent shall have consented in writing to such payment or settlement offer.

(C) Any amount paid by the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent to any Person with respect to Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 in excess of the amount payable pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i) for each such Dissenting Share, and all interest, costs, expenses and fees as incurred by the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent in connection with the exercise of all rights under Section 262, shall constitute Losses for purposes of this Agreement, and the Surviving Corporation and Parent, as the case may be, shall, without limiting any other rights, be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2 and to recover such Losses, without limitation.

(c) Company Options and Company Warrants. No Company Options (whether vested or unvested) and no Company Warrants (whether or not exercisable or vested) shall be assumed by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation and all issued and outstanding Company Options and Company Warrants shall be terminated or canceled prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Merger Consideration as Maximum Payment Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the aggregate amounts payable by Parent hereunder with respect to all outstanding Company Capital Stock shall not exceed the Merger Consideration.

(a) Pre-Closing Adjustment Statement. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement (the “Estimated Adjustment Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimates of (i) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”) and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Transaction Expenses accrued but unpaid as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”).

(b) Final Adjustment Statement. As soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Parent a statement (the “Company’s Adjustment Statement”) setting forth the Stockholder Representative’s good faith calculations of (i) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Final Closing Indebtedness”) and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Transaction Expenses accrued but unpaid as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Final Transaction Expenses”).

(c) Following receipt of Company’s Adjustment Statement, Parent shall either accept Company’s Adjustment Statement, which statement shall then be deemed the final statement (“Final Adjustment Statement”) or certify to the Stockholder Representative its alternate calculation of the Final Closing Indebtedness and/or the Final Transaction Expenses, as applicable (“Parent’s Adjustment Statement”). If Parent fails to accept the Company’s Adjustment Statement or deliver to the Stockholder Representative Parent’s Adjustment Statement within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Company’s Adjustment Statement, the Company’s Adjustment Statement shall be final and binding on the parties. If Parent timely delivers Parent’s Adjustment Statement, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall then make good faith efforts to meet and resolve the differences between the Company’s Adjustment Statement and Parent’s Adjustment Statement. If within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Stockholder Representative of Parent’s Adjustment Statement, Parent and the Stockholder Representative have been unable to reach agreement, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative may engage the Accounting Firm to determine which calculation of the Final Closing Indebtedness and/or the Final Transaction Expenses, as applicable, is more accurate, the Company’s Adjustment Statement or Parent’s Adjustment Statement, and shall certify the Accounting Firm’s choice as the Final Adjustment Statement. The Accounting Firm shall certify this decision in writing to Parent and the Stockholder Representative; the Accounting Firm shall have no other choice but to select either the Company’s Adjustment Statement in its entirety or Parent’s Adjustment Statement in its entirety. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be final and binding on the parties. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Accounting Firm, including any attorneys’ fees related thereto, shall be borne by (i) the Company Stockholders if Parent’s Adjustment Statement is selected by the Accounting Firm as more accurate; provided, however, that in lieu of receiving payment from the Company Stockholders, Parent may in its sole discretion elect to offset an amount equal to such amount from the amount owed by Parent pursuant to the Note, or (ii) Parent if the Company’s Adjustment Statement is selected by the Accounting Firm as more accurate.

(d) Once the Final Adjustment Statement has been determined pursuant to Section 1.8(c), the following shall occur: (i) if the Final Adjustment Statement reflects that the sum of the Final Indebtedness plus the Final Transaction Expenses is greater than the sum of the Estimated Closing Indebtedness plus the Estimated Transaction Expenses set forth in the Estimated Adjustment Statement, then the Company Stockholders shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds the amount equal to the surplus within ten (10) Business Days; provided, however, that in lieu of receiving payment from the Company Stockholders, Parent may in its sole discretion elect to offset an amount equal to such amount from the amount owed by Parent pursuant to the Note; and (ii) if the Final Adjustment Statement reflects that the sum of the Final Indebtedness plus the Final Transaction Expenses is less than the sum of the Estimated Closing Indebtedness plus the Estimated Transaction Expenses set forth in the Estimated Adjustment Statement, then Parent shall pay to the Company Stockholders, an amount equal to such shortfall by wire transfer in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days.

1.9 Merger Consideration Adjustment (Working Capital Adjustment). Following the Closing, and after seventy-five (75) days, the Stockholder Representative shall undertake and prepare a look-back analysis that, in accordance with GAAP, shall determine what the Company’s Working Capital was on the Closing Date. The Stockholder Representative and Parent agree that the Working Capital shall be calculated as set forth on Section 1.9 of the Disclosure Schedule hereto. Pursuant to this Section 1.9, the Stockholder Representative shall provide Parent with its proposed calculation of the Company’s Working Capital as of Closing, and reasonable supporting information relating to its determination of the Working Capital all as set forth in writing by the Stockholder Representative and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2 (the “Company’s WC Statement”).

(a) Following receipt of Company’s WC Statement, Parent shall either accept Company’s WC Statement, which statement shall then be deemed the final statement (“Final WC Statement”), or provide to the Stockholder Representative its alternate calculation of working capital (“Parent’s WC Statement”). If Parent fails to accept the Company’s WC Statement or deliver to the Stockholder Representative Parent’s WC Statement within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Company’s WC Statement, the Company’s WC Statement shall be final and binding on the parties. If Parent timely delivers Parent’s WC Statement, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall then make good faith efforts to meet and resolve the differences between the Company’s WC Statement and Parent’s WC Statement. If within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Stockholder Representative of Parent’s WC Statement, Parent and the Stockholder Representative have been unable to reach agreement, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative may engage the Accounting Firm to determine which calculation of Working Capital is more accurate, the Company’s WC Statement or Parent’s WC Statement, and shall certify the Accounting Firm’s choice as the Final WC Statement. The Accounting Firm shall certify this decision in writing to Parent and the Stockholder Representative; the Accounting Firm shall have no other choice but to select either the Company’s WC Statement in its entirety or Parent’s WC Statement in its entirety. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be final and binding on the parties. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Accounting Firm, including any attorneys’ fees related thereto, shall be borne by (i) the Company Stockholders if the Parent’s WC Statement is selected by the Accounting Firm as more accurate; provided, however, that in lieu of receiving payment from the Company Stockholders, Parent may in its sole discretion elect to offset an amount equal to such amount from the amount owed by Parent pursuant to the Note, or (ii) Parent if the Company’s WC Statement is selected by the Accounting Firm as more accurate.

(b) Once the Final WC Statement has been determined pursuant to Section 1.9(a), the following shall occur: (i) if the Final WC Statement reflects Working Capital greater than the Required Working Capital, then Parent shall pay the Company Stockholders, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days following determination of the Final WC Statement, an amount equal to such surplus less the aggregate amount of any additional Change in Control Payments triggered as a result of the payment of such surplus; and (ii) if the Final WC Statement reflects Working Capital less than the Required Working Capital, then the Company Stockholders shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent within ten (10) Business Days following determination of the Final WC Statement, an amount equal to such shortfall by wire transfer in immediately available funds; provided, however, that in lieu of receiving payment from the Company Stockholders, Parent may in its sole discretion elect to offset an amount equal to such amount from the amount owed by Parent pursuant to the Note.

(c) For clarification of the above, it is the intent of the parties that at the Effective Time the Working Capital shall be at least equal to the Required Working Capital as of the Closing Date. If any payment owed pursuant to this Section 1.9 is not made when due pursuant to Section 1.9(b), interest shall accrue on the amount outstanding at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum until final payment is made.

(a) As promptly as practical after the end of each of the first two calendar years following Closing Date and then after the commencement of the warranty period under all Contracts entered into before the close of business on the Closing Date (collectively, the “WIP Projects”), Parent shall perform an analysis with respect to the WIP Projects (each such analysis prepared after the end of a calendar year and after the completion of all such Contracts, the “WIP Analysis”). Each WIP Analysis shall show the amount by which the Company’s net earnings as of the Closing were overstated or understated by reason of any improper accruals of revenue and expenses on the WIP Projects as of the Closing for such period (as if the final amounts had been known as of the Closing) (the “WIP Adjustment”). Each WIP Adjustment shall be determined on an aggregate basis netting out over and under accruals for such period. The WIP Adjustment shall be calculated on a contract-by-contract for such period basis based on the methodology set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto.

(b) Within sixty (60) days after completion of each such period, Parent shall provide the Stockholder Representative with its proposed calculation of the applicable WIP Adjustment in writing by Parent to the Stockholder Representative and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2 (each, the “Proposed WIP Statement”), and the Stockholder Representative shall either accept the applicable Proposed WIP Statement, which will then be deemed final and binding on the parties, or certify to Parent the Stockholder Representative’s alternate calculation of the applicable WIP Adjustment (each, the “Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement”). If the Stockholder Representative fails to accept the applicable Proposed WIP Statement or deliver to the Parent the Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement for such period within thirty (30) days of receipt of the applicable Proposed WIP Statement, the applicable Proposed WIP Statement shall be final and binding on the parties.

(c) If the Stockholder Representative timely delivers the Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement for an applicable period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall make good faith efforts to meet and resolve any differences between the Proposed WIP Statement and the Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement for such period. If within thirty (30) days after receipt by Parent of the Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement for such period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative have been unable to reach agreement, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative may engage the Accounting Firm to calculate the WIP Adjustment, and request the Accounting Firm to make its determination within thirty (30) days of its engagement. The WIP Adjustment determined by the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties; provided, that the WIP Adjustment amount calculated by the Accounting Firm shall be either the WIP Adjustment amount set forth in the Proposed WIP Statement or the Parent’s WIP Statement for such period. The Accounting Firm shall certify its decision in writing to Parent and the Stockholder Representative. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by (i) the Company Stockholders if the Proposed WIP Statement is determined by the Accounting Firm as the more accurate, or (ii) Parent if the Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement is determined by the Accounting Firm as the more accurate.

(d) After a WIP Adjustment for an applicable period (each, the “Final WIP Adjustment”) has been determined as final and binding on the parties, the following shall occur: if the Final WIP Adjustment for such period is (i) a negative amount, the Company Stockholders shall (X) first offset an amount equal to such amount (as a positive number) from the amount owed by Parent pursuant to the Note and (Y) after the Note has been exhausted or paid in full, pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent an amount equal to such amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days following the determination of the Final WIP Adjustment; and (ii) a positive amount, Parent shall pay to the Company Stockholders, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, within ten (10) Business Days following the determination of the Final WIP Adjustment, the total amount reflected by the Final WIP Adjustment less the aggregate amount of any additional Change in Control Payments triggered as a result of the payment of such Final WIP Adjustment. If any payment owed pursuant to this Section 1.10 is not made when due, interest shall accrue on the amount outstanding at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum until final payment is made.

(a) Closing Payments. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall distribute the Closing Cash Merger Consideration to Company Stockholders in accordance with the Payment Spreadsheet. All interest and other earnings from any investment of funds held from time to time with respect to the Merger Consideration shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no part of such interest or other earnings shall accrue to or for the benefit of any Company Stockholders.

(b) Payment Procedures. Prior to the Closing and after receiving the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company shall mail to each Company Stockholder a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (a “Transmittal Letter”), which Transmittal Letter shall (A) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificate(s) representing shares of the Company Capital Stock (the “Certificates”) that are being converted into the right to receive payment pursuant to Section 1.7 shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Parent (B) include an agreement that such holder shall receive its portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i), (C) be in such form and have such other reasonable provisions not inconsistent with this Agreement as Parent may specify, (D) include IRS Form W-9 or Form W-8BEN or any successor form, and (E) include instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates for that portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof under this Agreement. The payment of the appropriate Stockholder Closing Payment to any Company Stockholder is expressly conditioned upon the execution and delivery of a Transmittal Letter, properly completed and duly executed by each such Company Stockholder. After the Effective Time, and within five (5) business days after Parent receives a Certificate, properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer, formerly representing shares of Company Capital Stock held by any Company Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with a properly completed and duly executed Transmittal Letter, Parent shall pay to such Company Stockholder (A) that portion of the Merger Consideration payable to such Company Stockholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Certificates, less (B) that portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to such Company Stockholder in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock that is required to be withheld from such Company Stockholder under applicable Tax withholding laws, if any, (such amount less such deductions, with respect to each such Company Stockholder, being referred to herein as the “Stockholder Closing Payment”), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of any portion of the applicable Stockholder Closing Payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificates are registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person requesting such payment (A) shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of those amounts to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, and shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid, or (B) shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax is not applicable. From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.11(b) each Certificate shall be deemed to represent for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the manner provided herein.

(c) No Liability. The Company Stockholders shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirements), and only as general creditors thereof, with respect to the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of any shares of Company Capital Stock that have not be properly tendered pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.11(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Company Stockholder for any amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to and in compliance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirement. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by a Company Stockholder one (1) year after the Effective Time (or such earlier date (if any), which is immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the property of Parent, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(d) Withholding Rights. Each of the Company, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the payment of any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. To the extent that such amounts are not so deducted and withheld, such Person shall indemnify Parent and its affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation), for any amounts imposed by a Governmental Authority, together with any related Losses.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Instruments. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making and delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the Company Stockholder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent (a “Lost Instrument Affidavit”), Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall pay such Company Stockholder the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such Company Stockholder is entitled to pursuant to Section 1.7; provided, however, that Parent may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver an agreement of indemnification in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and/or a bond in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct as indemnity, against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed (the “Lost Instrument Indemnity Agreement”).

The Company hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in this Article 2 to the Parent and Merger Sub. The Company has delivered to Parent the disclosure schedule simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedule”). The disclosures in the Disclosure Schedule relate only to the representations and warranties in the section of the Agreement to which they expressly relate and not to any other representation or warranty in this Agreement provided, however, that any information disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule under any section shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated into any other section under the Agreement where such disclosure would be appropriate and such appropriateness is reasonably

apparent from the face of such disclosure.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger under the HSR Act, the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other United States federal or state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, orders, decrees, administrative or judicial doctrines or other Laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or constituting anticompetitive conduct (collectively, the “Antitrust Laws”). Each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement.

4.11 Public Announcements. The parties shall not issue any report, statement or press release or otherwise make any other public statement with respect to this Agreement and the Merger without prior consultation with and approval of the other parties.

4.12 Updates. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, the Stockholder Representative may prepare and deliver to Parent supplements and/or amendments to the Disclosure Schedule (which may contain additional Sections to the Disclosure Schedule that are not in existence as of the date hereof relating to any of the provisions contained in Article 2, such supplement, amendment or new Sections to the Disclosure Schedule being referred to as an “Update”) with respect to matters arising after the date hereof. Any such Update shall be for informational purposes only and shall not affect the right to indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 unless specifically agreed in writing by Parent.

(a) For six (6) years following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Company to fulfill and honor its indemnification obligations to its and its Subsidiaries’ current and former officers and directors in their capacity as such pursuant to the Fundamental Documents (as in effect at least ten (10) days prior to the date of this Agreement) and pursuant to any indemnity agreements between the Company and its and its Subsidiaries’ current and former officers and directors in their capacity as such approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Company Stockholders (each as in effect at least ten (10) days prior to the date of this Agreement and provided that such indemnity agreements have been delivered to Parent).

(b) The provisions of this Section 4.13 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each such Person entitled to indemnification, his or her heirs and his or her representatives.

(a) At least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a payment spreadsheet (the “Payment Spreadsheet”) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, certified as complete and accurate by the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth the following information with respect to each Company Stockholder:

(i) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder, the certificate number(s) for such shares;

(ii) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the portion of the estimated Merger Consideration and that portion of the estimated Closing Cash Merger Consideration payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the manner provided herein to such Company Stockholder in respect of all of the shares of Company Capital Stock to be held by such Company Stockholder;

(iii) that portion of the estimated Merger Consideration otherwise payable to such Company Stockholder that is treated as employment compensation and the amount thereof required to be withheld from such Company Stockholder under applicable Tax withholding laws, if any;

(iv) that portion of the estimated Merger Consideration which represents such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Note and the Earn-out;

(vi) the mailing address and wire transfer information where all amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to such Company Stockholder.

(b) In the event that any information set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet becomes inaccurate at any time prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver a revised Payment Spreadsheet, together with a new certification consistent with Section 4.14(a), whereupon such revised Payment Spreadsheet shall be deemed to be the “Payment Spreadsheet” for all purposes of and under this Agreement; provided, however that the aggregate amounts payable as disclosed in such revised Payment Spreadsheet shall not, without Parent’s written consent, change from the aggregate amounts payable in the Payment Spreadsheet in effect immediately prior to such revised Payment Spreadsheet taking effect.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Parent shall be entitled to rely on the Payment Spreadsheet for purposes of making any payments hereunder.

(i) The Stockholder Representative, at the cost and expense of the Company, shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall timely file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (the “Company Prepared Returns”). Such Company Prepared Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with existing procedures and practices and accounting methods, and, to the extent applicable, the conventions provided in Section 4.15(a)(iv). The Stockholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide copies of such Company Prepared Returns to Parent and its authorized representatives for review at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing thereof, and shall make such revisions to such Company Prepared Returns as are reasonably requested by Parent at least ten (10) days prior to the filing due date with respect thereto. At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any Company Prepared Return due after the Closing Date that needs to be signed by the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Stockholder Representative shall submit such Company Prepared Return to Parent and Parent shall cause the Company or its Subsidiaries to sign and timely file the Company Prepared Return in the form submitted by the Stockholder Representative. The Company Stockholders shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes with respect to such periods and such Tax Returns (excluding any Taxes included in the Final WC Statement or in Transaction Expenses); provided, however, that in lieu of receiving payment from the Company Stockholders Parent may in its sole discretion elect to offset an amount equal to such amount from the amount owed by Parent pursuant to the Note.

(ii) Parent, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Post-Closing Tax Periods, including for such purposes, any Straddle Period (the “Parent Prepared Returns”) provided Parent Prepared Returns shall exclude Form 1120 to be filed by or on behalf of the Company for its final tax period before entering the consolidated group of Parent. Parent shall utilize (and cause the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to utilize) mutually agreed accounting firm to prepare the Tax Returns for any Straddle Period of the Company and its Subsidiaries. To the extent that a Parent Prepared Return relates to a Straddle Period, such Tax Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with existing procedures and practices and accounting methods of the Company and its Subsidiaries in effect as of the Closing Date to the extent permitted by applicable law, using the same tax preparers as were used prior to the Closing and, to the extent applicable, the conventions provided in Section 4.15(a)(iv). At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any Parent Prepared Return that relates to a Straddle Period, Parent shall provide a draft of such Tax Return to the Stockholder Representative for the Stockholder Representative’s review and comment. Parent shall make such revisions to such Parent Prepared Returns as are reasonably requested by Stockholder Representative at least ten (10) days prior to the filing due date with respect thereto.

(iii) Except as required by law, Parent shall not, and shall not allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, file or amend any Tax Return of the Company or its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or otherwise initiate (or otherwise participate in) any other Company Approved Tax Matter without the prior written permission of the Stockholder Representative.

(iv) Parent and the Stockholder Representative agree with respect to certain Tax matters as follows:

(A) That no election shall be made to waive the carry back of Tax credit incurred or realized in a Pre-Closing Tax Period by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(B) To treat any indemnification payments as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for all relevant Tax purposes.

Unless otherwise required by a determination of a Governmental Authority that is final, Parent shall not (and Parent shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to) file a Tax Return that is inconsistent with any agreement pursuant to this Section 4.15(a)(iv), and Parent shall not (and Parent shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to) take any position during the course of any Tax Contest or other audit or proceedings that is inconsistent with any agreement pursuant to this Section 4.15(a)(iv).

(b) Straddle Period Tax Returns. To the extent it is not permitted or required in a jurisdiction to elect (which election shall be made, if permitted) to have each Tax year of the Company and its Subsidiaries end on the Closing Date, such that the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries is required to file a Tax Return for a Straddle Period, the parties agree to use the following conventions for determining the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date: (i) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, sales Taxes, employment Taxes and withholding Taxes), the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the applicable Company and/or its Subsidiary filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.” For purposes of the foregoing, (A) any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; (B) any Tax or item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit resulting from a Parent Closing Date Transaction shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date; and (C) any item of deduction attributable to any Transaction Deductions shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date.

(c) Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Stockholder Representative and Parent shall (and Parent shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to) (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (ii) assist in any audit or other proceeding with respect to the Tax Returns or Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (iii) make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (iv) provide any information required to allow the Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with any information reporting contained in the Code or other applicable Laws; and (v) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Returns, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax. All obligations of all Persons under this Section 4.15(c) shall end after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations from all periods or portions thereof that include the Closing Date or any prior date.

(d) Transfer Taxes. The Company Stockholders will pay, and will indemnify and hold Parent harmless against, any documentary, stamp, stock transfer, or similar Tax imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Company Stockholders as a result of the Merger and any related penalties or interest (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”).

(i) If any Governmental Authority issues to Parent or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (1) a notice of its intent to audit or conduct another proceeding with respect to a Tax Return or Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or (2) a notice of deficiency for Taxes for any such period, Parent shall notify the Stockholder Representative of its receipt of such communication from the Governmental Authority within ten (10) days of receipt and provide the Stockholder Representative with copies of all correspondence and other documents received from the Governmental Authority. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall control any audit or other proceeding in respect of any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Tax Contest”); provided, however, (1) the Stockholder Representative, at the sole cost and expense of the Company Stockholders, shall have the right to control (including the settlement or resolution thereof and the selection of counsel) or participate in any Tax Contest to the extent it relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and participate in any Tax Contest to the extent it relates to a Straddle Period; and (2) Parent shall not, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to, settle, resolve, or abandon a Tax Contest (whether or not the Stockholder Representative participates in or controls such Tax Contest) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without the prior written permission of the Stockholder Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).

(ii) If the Stockholder Representative elects to control a Tax Contest for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (1) the Stockholder Representative shall notify Parent of such intent; (2) Parent shall promptly complete and execute, and promptly cause the Company or its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, as applicable, to complete and execute, any powers of attorney or other documents and take other reasonable actions that the Stockholder Representative requests to allow the Stockholder Representative to control such Tax Contest; (3) prior to the Stockholder Representative taking control, Parent shall, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries, to control such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith and after the Stockholder Representative takes control, the Stockholder Representative shall control such Tax Contest in good faith; and (4) while it controls a Tax Contest, the Stockholder Representative shall (A) keep Parent reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest; (B) allow Parent and the Company and its Subsidiaries, at the Parent’s sole cost and expense, to participate in such Tax Contest; and (C) not settle, resolve, or abandon any such Tax Contest if such settlement, resolution, or abandonment would result in any Parent Indemnitee incurring any material Tax that the Company Stockholders are not obligated to pay or indemnify under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).

(iii) If the Stockholder Representative elects to participate in a Tax Contest, (1) the Stockholder Representative shall notify Parent of such intent; (2) Parent shall control, or cause the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to control, such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith; (3) Parent shall (and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to) promptly take all actions necessary to allow the Stockholder Representative (and its counsel) to fully participate in such Tax Contest; and (4) if requested by the Stockholder Representative, Parent shall settle (or cause the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to settle) the Tax Contest on terms acceptable to the Governmental Authority and the Stockholder Representative (provided, however, that such settlement will not result in any Parent Indemnitee incurring any material Tax that the Company Stockholders are not required to pay under this Agreement).

(iv) If the Stockholder Representative does not control or participate in a Tax Contest (whether by election or otherwise) that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (1) Parent shall control, or cause the applicable Company or Subsidiary, to control such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith; (2) Parent shall keep the Stockholder Representative reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest; and (3) if requested by the Stockholder Representative, Parent shall settle (or cause the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to settle) the Tax Contest on terms acceptable to the applicable Governmental Authority and the Stockholder Representative (provided, however, that such settlement will not result in any Parent Indemnitee incurring any material Taxes that the Company Stockholders are not required to pay under this Agreement).

(f) Tax Refunds. All refunds of Taxes (including refunds of Transfer Taxes) of Parent or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Tax Refund” and, collectively, “Tax Refunds”) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with the same principles provided for in Section 4.15(b)) (whether in the form of cash received or a credit or offset against Taxes otherwise payable) shall be the property of the Company Stockholders to the extent such Tax Refund was not included as an asset in the computation of the Final Working Capital or arises as a result of a Transaction Deduction. To the extent that Parent or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives a Tax Refund that is the property of the Company Stockholders, Parent shall pay to the Company Stockholders the amount of such Tax Refund (and interest received from the Governmental Authority) less all reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with obtaining such Tax Refund incurred by Parent and/or the Company. The amount due to the Company Stockholders shall be payable to the Company Stockholders ten (10) days after receipt of the Tax Refund from the applicable Governmental Authority (or, if the Tax Refund is in the form of credit or offset, ten (10) days after the due date of the Tax Return claiming such credit or offset). Parent shall cooperate with Stockholder Representative to claim (and cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable to claim) any refunds that will give rise to a payment to, or on behalf of, the Company Stockholders under this Section 4.15(f).

4.16 No Solicitation of Transactions. Except as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action to (a) solicit, initiate or facilitate any Acquisition Proposal, (b) enter into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or (c) participate in any way in negotiations with, or furnish any information to, any Person in connection with, or the making of any proposal that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to an Acquisition Proposal other than in connection with the Merger.

4.17 Indemnified Receivables Title Transfer. If the Company Stockholders indemnify Parent pursuant to Section 6.2(f) for Indemnified Receivables, then Parent shall promptly transfer to the Stockholder Representative (for the benefit of the Company Stockholders) title to such Indemnified Receivables and the Stockholder Representative may seek to collect such Indemnified Receivables; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative is obligated to exercise reasonable care with regard to the overall continuing business interests of the Company and Parent in attempting to collect such Indemnified Receivables.

4.18 Employees. Parent may, in its sole discretion, continue any Company Benefit Plan or employee policy or program in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (each a “Pre-Merger Plan”), including a 401(k) plan or medical plan, for any period of time after the Closing for the benefit of any employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Employees” and, each individually, a “Company Employee”). To the extent Parent does not continue a Pre-Merger Plan applicable to a Company Employee, such Company Employee shall be eligible, subject to the provisions herein, to participate in any corresponding Employee Benefit Plan maintained by Parent providing benefits to any Company Employee after the Closing Date (the “Post-Merger Plans”) to the extent such Post-Merger Plan replaces similar coverage under such Pre-Merger Plan. Parent will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, give Company Employees full credit under any such Post-Merger Plan for their years of service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the same extent recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary under the corresponding Pre-Merger Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility and vesting (excluding vesting in equity based awards, eligibility for post-employment welfare benefits and benefit accruals, including without limitation, any benefit accruals under any defined benefit person plan that is a tax qualified plan under Code Section 401(a)). Except as set forth on Schedule 4.18, the value of the compensation and benefits provided under the Pre-Merger Plans or the Post-Merger Plans, as applicable in accordance with the foregoing, to Company Employees, taken as a whole, after the Closing Date shall be substantially equivalent to the value of the compensation and benefits provided under the Company Benefit Plans (determined without regard to awards under the Company Incentive Plans) to the Company Employees, taken as a whole, immediately prior to the Closing Date. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Post-Merger Plans to the extent coverage under such Post-Merger Plan replaces coverage under any Pre-Merger Plan; provided, however, to the extent such Company Employee is not covered by a Pre-Merger Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date due to failure to satisfy the applicable waiting period, such Company Employee shall be subject to the waiting time applicable to a Parent employee with respect to the corresponding Post-Merger Plan that replaces such Pre-Merger Plan (giving full service credit for service by such Company Employee with the Company in satisfying such waiting time); provided further, to the extent a Company Employee is covered by a Pre-Merger Plan but does not satisfy the service requirements for the corresponding Post-Merger Plan, the Post-Merger Plan may allow such Company Employee to participate in such Post-Merger Plan or Parent shall continue the Pre-Merger Plan for such Company Employee or otherwise provide comparable substitute coverage; and (ii) for purposes of each Post-Merger Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Post-Merger Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, and Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Pre-Merger Plan ending on the date such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding Post-Merger Plan begins to be taken into account under such Post-Merger Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Post-Merger Plan. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an amendment to, or be construed as amending, any Benefit Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(g) without limiting the foregoing provisions, any violation by the Company (or any of its predecessors) of any Environmental Law and the presence, emanation, migration, disposal, release or threatened release, occurring on or before the Closing Date, of any Materials of Environmental Concern on, within or migrating from, the Real Property in excess of Remediation standards imposed pursuant to Environmental Laws applicable to commercial properties as a result of (a) the presence of and closure or removal of any underground storage tank on such property, (b) the operations of the Company, or (c) the condition of such property prior to the Closing Date;

(h) net of reserves existing in the Financial Statements, the pending or settled litigation claims more fully described on Section 2.15 of the Disclosure Schedule;

(i) any (A) claim by (1) any current or former holder or alleged current or former holder of any equity interest or equity security of the Company (including any predecessors) relating to or arising out of (x) the Merger, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, including the allocation of the Merger Consideration, or (y) such Person’s status or alleged status as an equity holder or ownership of equity interests in the Company (or any predecessor) at any time on or prior to the Closing, whether for breach of fiduciary duty or otherwise, or (2) any Person to the effect that such Person is entitled to any equity interest or equity security, or payment in connection with the Merger other than as specifically set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet, (B) amount paid by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation to any Company Stockholder with respect to Dissenting Shares in excess of the amount such Person would have received in the Merger for such Dissenting Shares had such shares been converted pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i), and all interest, costs, expenses and fees incurred by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation in connection with the exercise or attempted exercise of any appraisal rights, or (C) any inaccuracy in the Payment Spreadsheet or Schedule 1 to the Note, and any amounts paid by reason thereof to any Company Stockholder in excess of the consideration to which such Company Stockholder is entitled in respect of Company Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Earn-Out Agreement or the Note; or

6.3 Indemnification of the Stockholder Indemnitees. From and after the Closing Date, and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold each of the Company Stockholders, the Stockholder Representative and their respective successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Stockholder Indemnitees”) harmless from, against and in respect of any Losses sustained or incurred by such Stockholder Indemnitee to the extent relating to, resulting from, or arising out of, or of any allegation by any third party of:

(a) the failure of any representations or warranties contained in Article 3 in this Agreement to be true and correct on the Closing Date (or with respect to representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date, the failure to be true and correct as of such date); or

(b) any breach, nonfulfillment or noncompliance by Parent of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith.

6.4 Limitations on Indemnification of Parent Indemnitees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of Parent Indemnitees to indemnification under this Agreement are limited as follows:

(a) Basket; Cap. Parent Indemnitees will not be entitled to recover any Losses pursuant to Section 6.2(a), (b) (except for any breach, nonfulfillment or noncompliance of or with the obligations set forth in Sections 4.14), (d) or (g) until the total of all such Losses suffered by Parent Indemnitees exceeds $300,000 (the “Basket”), in which event Parent Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover all Losses in excess of the Basket up to a maximum of the R&W Liability Cap; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations will not apply to claims in respect of breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1 (Organization; Good Standing; Qualification and Power), 2.2 (Capitalization), 2.4 (Power and Authority) or 2.17 (Taxes) or claims based on Fraud. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, for individual Losses, the aggregate amount of such Loss for which any Company Stockholder shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.2 shall be the lesser of (i) its Pro Rata Percentage of such Loss or (ii) the portion of the Merger Consideration which such Company Stockholder was actually paid. For avoidance of doubt, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which any Company Stockholder shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.2 shall be the portion of the Merger Consideration which such Company Stockholder was actually paid.

(b) Reduction; Subrogation. Parent Indemnitees’ right to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement on account of any Losses shall be reduced by (i) all insurance or other proceeds recovered by Parent Indemnitees from third parties, including pursuant to indemnification obligations of third parties in favor of the Company or its Subsidiaries in each case, net of (x) any related costs and expenses, including the costs and expenses of pursuing any such claims, and (y) any deductibles and any increase in premiums in connection with any such claims (such amount, the “Net Settlement Amount”), and (ii) any accruals or reserves on the Financial Statements or the calculation of Company’s Working Capital with respect to which such Losses relate and (iii) any Taxes included in the definition of Transaction Expense with respect to which such Losses relate. If any Parent Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates (including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) receives any Net Settlement Amount after receiving an indemnification payment for the related Loss, Parent shall pay to the Company Stockholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages the amount of such proceeds to the extent such proceeds did not reduce the indemnity payment for the Loss within ten (10) days of the receipt of such proceeds.

(c) No Claims. Parent Indemnitees shall not have any claim for Losses under this Agreement (i) to the extent that any Liability or obligation arises as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by Parent, and after the Closing Date, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (ii) in respect of any Losses caused by or resulting from any action required or permitted by this Agreement (including Section 4.1) and (iii) to the extent such claim for Losses was specifically reflected in the Final WC Statement or was resolved pursuant to the post-Closing Cash Merger Consideration adjustment procedures set forth in Section 1.8, 1.9 or 1.10. Parent Indemnitees shall not be indemnified for the same Loss more than once under this Agreement, even if a claim for indemnification in respect of such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement.

(d) Knowledge of Breach. The right to indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6 will not be affected by any investigation conducted by Parent or its representatives with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by Parent or its representatives at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty (as may be modified by any Disclosure Schedule), or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6, unless such waiver expressly states that it includes a waiver of rights to indemnification under this Article 6. No party shall be required to demonstrate the actual or constructive knowledge of any other party as a condition of indemnification for any claim.

(e) Materiality Scrape. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for the purposes of determining the amount of any Losses, but not liability for indemnification, with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty, any qualifications by the words “Material Adverse Effect” and “material” shall be disregarded.

6.5 Exclusive Remedy; Express Negligence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, except with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10 and other than in the case of Fraud, the parties agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties to this Agreement and Parent Indemnitees and the Stockholder Indemnitees, respectively, for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of Contract, warranty, tortuous conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, equity, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) arising out of or based upon the matters set forth in this Agreement and the Merger, are the indemnification obligations of the parties set forth in this Article 6. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereby waives, from and after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights and claims for Losses it may have against any other party arising under, based upon or relating to this Agreement, any applicable Law, common law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 6). The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall not, however, prevent or limit a cause of action under Section 8.13 to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 6 ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY PARTY (INCLUDING THE PARTY FROM WHOM INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT) ALLEGES OR PROVES THE CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE PARTY SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION OR THE CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED UPON THE PARTY SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT BY SUCH PARTY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO PARTY SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY FOR THE VALUE ASSIGNED TO SUCH OTHER PARTY’S CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE.

6.6 Procedures. The following procedures shall apply to all claims for indemnification and reimbursement pursuant to this Article 6, other than those relating to Tax matters, which are governed by Section 4.14:

(i) Indemnity Claims. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, if any Parent Indemnitee believes in good faith that it has a claim for indemnification (an “Indemnity Claim”), Parent shall, promptly after it becomes aware of such Indemnity Claim but in any event prior to the Indemnification Termination Date, notify the Stockholder Representative of such Indemnity Claim by means of a written notice specifying the nature, circumstances and amount of such Indemnity Claim accompanied by an affidavit of an officer of Parent setting forth with reasonable particularity the underlying facts actually known or in good faith believed by the affiant to exist sufficient to establish, as of the date of such affidavit, the basis for the Indemnity Claim and setting forth the Parent’s good faith calculation of the Losses incurred by the applicable Parent Indemnitee with respect thereto, and including copies of all written documentation in the possession of Parent Indemnitees relating to the circumstances or events giving rise to such Indemnity Claim (an “Indemnity Claim Notice”). The failure by Parent to promptly deliver an Indemnity Claim Notice under this Section 6.6(a)(i) will not adversely affect the applicable Parent Indemnitee’s right to recovery except to the extent that the Stockholder Representative or any Company Stockholder is materially prejudiced thereby.

(ii) No Disputes. If Parent delivers an Indemnity Claim Notice in accordance with the terms in Section 6.6(a)(i) and the Stockholder Representative does not object to the terms of the Indemnity Claim as set forth in the applicable Indemnity Claim Notice, (A) the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall mutually agree to an offset against the Note in the amount set forth in such Indemnity Claim Notice and (B) after the Note has been exhausted or paid in full, each Company Stockholder shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Percentage of such amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days.

(iii) Disputes. If Parent delivers an Indemnity Claim Notice in accordance with the terms in Section 6.6(a)(i) and the Stockholder Representative objects to the terms of the Indemnity Claim as set forth in the applicable Indemnity Claim Notice, the Stockholder Representative may dispute the related Indemnity Claim by delivery of a notice to Parent in writing, within thirty (30) days following the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of such Indemnity Claim Notice, that the Stockholder Representative objects to the Indemnity Claim (or the amount of Losses set forth therein) asserted in such Indemnity Claim Notice (a “Dispute Notice”). Following receipt by Parent of the Dispute Notice, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall promptly use their reasonable efforts to settle the dispute as to whether and to what extent Parent Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification on account of such Indemnity Claim. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after Parent receives such Dispute Notice, then the dispute must first be submitted to non-binding mediation to be held in Houston, Texas. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are still unable to reach agreement within forty-five (45) days after the first (1^st) meeting with the mediator, then the dispute may only be submitted to, and settled by, an individual arbitrator mutually selected by the Stockholder Representative and Parent (if the Stockholder Representative and Parent are unable to agree upon the arbitrator, they shall each select an arbitrator and the two selected arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator to act as the arbitrator). The arbitration shall be held in Houston, Texas pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and in accordance with the then-prevailing International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The agreement to arbitrate will be specifically enforceable, the award rendered by the arbitrator in respect of a dispute pursuant to this Section 6.6(a)(iii) shall be final and binding (absent intentional Fraud or manifest error), and any arbitration award may be enforced by judgment entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the mediator and the arbitrator shall be allocated between the Company Stockholders, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to the mediator or arbitrator, as the case may be, that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the arbitrator) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted. For all purposes of this Article 6, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall reasonably cooperate with the other party and its representatives (including to the extent appropriate and permitted by applicable Law, providing information, records and data), and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the resolution of such disputes.

(b) Notice of Losses Provided by Stockholder Indemnitee. As soon as is reasonably practicable after a Stockholder Indemnitee obtains knowledge of any matter which has or may result in Losses, such Stockholder Indemnitee shall give written notice of such matter (a “Claims Notice”) to Parent describing the matter in reasonable detail, and indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by the applicable Stockholder Indemnitee. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by such Stockholder Indemnitee to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.6(b) will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that such Stockholder Indemnitee has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve Parent or the Company of their obligation to indemnify the applicable Stockholder Indemnitee except to the extent that they are materially prejudiced thereby.

(c) Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims. In the event of any claim by a third party against any Parent Indemnitee or Stockholder Indemnitee for which indemnification is or may be available under this Article 6 (whether pursuant to a lawsuit, other legal action or otherwise, a “Third Party Claim”), the party against whom indemnification may be sought hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall be entitled and, if it so elects, shall at its own cost and expense, (i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim and (ii) pursue the defense thereof in good faith by appropriate actions or proceedings promptly taken or instituted and diligently pursued, including to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice reasonably acceptable to the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) to handle and defend such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but not obligated), if it so elects, to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.6(c), the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.6(c) within fourteen (14) days after delivery of the Claim Notice in connection with such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party against which such Third Party Claim has been asserted shall (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any resulting settlement of such Third Party Claim and for any final judgment with respect thereto (subject to any right of appeal), if any, but only to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement (including Sections 6.4 and 6.5 hereof). In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement, and in the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.

(d) To the extent this Section 6.6 is inconsistent with Section 4.15(e) with respect to any Tax matter, the provisions of Section 4.15(e) shall control.

6.7 Mitigation. Each party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate any of its Losses upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto. Each of the parties shall cooperate with the others with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by using reasonable best efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability; provided, however, that such party shall not be required to make such efforts if they would be detrimental in any material respect to such party. In the event that any party shall fail to use reasonable best efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability, then (unless the proviso to the foregoing sentence shall be applicable) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the other party shall not be required to indemnify or reimburse any Person for any Losses that could have been avoided if such party had made such efforts.

7.1 Termination. Prior to the Closing, this Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned:

(b) at any time after June 5, 2020 (the “Outside Date”), by either Parent or the Company, upon written notice to the other party if the Closing shall not have occurred, unless the failure to consummate the Merger is the result of a breach by the Company of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement;

(c) at any time after the Outside Date, by Parent upon written notice to the Company, if the Closing shall not have occurred, unless the failure to consummate the Merger is the result of a breach by Parent of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement; provided, however, that the parties agree that Parent shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) during the pendency of any legal proceedings by the Company and/or the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 8.13;

(d) by the Company, if Parent breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement in a manner such that any conditions under Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b) would not be satisfied, and such breach is not cured within twenty (20) days after written notice to Parent by the Company; provided, however, that no cure period will be required for any such breach that by its nature cannot be cured;

(e) by Parent, if the Company breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement in a manner such that any conditions under Section 5.2(a) and Section 5.2(b) would not be satisfied, and such breach is not cured within twenty (20) days after written notice to the Company by Parent; provided, however, that no cure period will be required for any such breach that by its nature cannot be cured;

(f) by either Parent or the Company if a Governmental Authority shall have issued an Order permanently restraining or prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and such Order shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(f) is not available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in or causes such Order or such party is not in compliance with its obligations under Section 4.8; or

(g) by Parent, if Stockholder Written Consents representing the Requisite Stockholder Approval and Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Company Support Stockholders shall not have been obtained by the Company and delivered to Parent within one (1) hour immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto.

7.2 Procedure and Effect of Termination. Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other party or parties, as the case may be, to this Agreement. In the event of the termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Merger pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto except the obligations provided for in Sections 4.6(c), 4.10, this Article 7, Article 8 (in respect of those provisions that survive) and the definitions set forth in Article 9 hereof shall survive any such termination of this Agreement.

8.1 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, at the request of the other party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting, the parties shall execute and deliver to such requesting party such documents and take such other action as such requesting party may reasonably request in order to give effect to the Merger.

8.2 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, waivers and communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered (i) by hand (including by reputable overnight courier), (ii) by mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested), (iii) by facsimile transmission (receipt of which is confirmed, followed by delivery of an original via overnight courier service) or (iv) by E-mail (receipt of which is confirmed, followed by delivery of an original via overnight courier service) to the respective parties at the following addresses:

8.3 Exhibits and Schedules. Any matter, information or item disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule or in any Exhibit attached hereto, under any specific representation or warranty or section number hereof, shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to any other section or subsection of this Agreement to which the matter relates, so long as the description of such matter in the Disclosure Schedule reasonably indicates its relevance to the pertinent section. The mere inclusion of any matter, information or item in any Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed to constitute an admission of any liability by the Company or any other Person to any third party or otherwise imply that any such matter, information or item is material or creates a measure for materiality for the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no such inclusion of a possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

8.4 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. Except as provided in Section 4.12, this Agreement, including any Exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule, may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time only by written agreement signed by Parent and, if before the Closing, the Company, and if after the Closing, the Stockholder Representative. Any failure of the Company to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived by Parent, and any failure of Parent to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived by the Stockholder Representative, at any time by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of such other party, but such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure to comply. Further, neither the waiver by any of the parties of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

8.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits, and other documents referred to herein (including the Confidentiality Agreement), and which form a part hereof, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, with respect to its subject matter (other than the Confidentiality Agreement).

8.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement for any reason is declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such decision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions of this Agreement, which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect and the application of such invalid or unenforceable provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Upon such declaration that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Merger be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

8.7 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns, but except as contemplated herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may execute and deliver any such written consent on behalf of the Company Stockholders. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 8.7 shall be void.

8.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except (i) the Stockholder Representative, (ii) current and former, stockholders, members, managers, officers, directors and employees of the Company pursuant to Section 4.13 and (iii) as provided in Article 6 with respect to Parent Indemnitees and the Stockholder Indemnitees, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person (including any employee or former employee of the Company) or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

8.9 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Article 1 and Sections 4.14 and 6.6(a)(iii), whether or not the Merger is consummated pursuant hereto, each party hereto shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in connection with this Agreement, and the consummation of the Merger. Company Stockholders shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by the Company prior to the Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts (delivery of which may be by facsimile or via email as a portable document format (.pdf)), each of which will be deemed an original, and it will not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or the terms of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one (1) of such counterparts.

8.11 Interpretation. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any cost estimates, Projections or other forward-looking statements contained or referred to in this Agreement or in the Disclosure Schedule or Exhibits hereto or in any materials that have been provided to Parent by or on behalf of the Company or any of their respective Affiliates are not and shall not be deemed to be representations or warranties of the Company. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Disclosure Schedule and any other Schedules and Exhibits hereto, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement. The words “party” or “parties” shall refer to parties to this Agreement. References from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively. The words “dollar” or “$” shall mean U.S. dollars. The word “threatened” or any variation thereof means “threatened in writing”. The word “day” means calendar day unless Business Day is expressly specified. The term “written” in respect of Contracts shall be interpreted to mean handwritten, typed or printed Contracts (as opposed to oral) that have been executed by two counterparties pursuant to a handwritten signature, and shall not be deemed executed by virtue of an oral, electronic or email acknowledgement or signature. Any reference to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include such other genders and any reference to the singular or plural shall include the other, in each case unless the context otherwise requires. If any action under this Agreement is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first (1^st) succeeding Business Day thereafter. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and neither for nor against any party hereto irrespective of which party caused such provisions to be drafted. Each of the parties acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement.

8.12 Legal Representation. Parent hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, managers, stockholders, members, partners, officers and employees, and each of their successors and assigns (all such parties, the “Waiving Parties”), that Porter Hedges and Goodwin Procter LLP (or any successor thereof) (the “Law Firm”) may represent the Stockholder Representative, the Company Stockholders and each of their respective Affiliates (individually and collectively, the “Seller Group”), on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby and the consummation of the Merger and thereby (such representation, the “Current Representation”), and the Law Firm may represent the Seller Group or any director, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Seller Group, in each case in connection with any dispute, litigation, claim, proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including under Sections 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10 and Article 6, any agreements contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger or thereby (any such representation, the “Post-Closing Representation”) notwithstanding such representation (or any continued representation) of the Company, its Subsidiaries, and Parent on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest or any objection arising therefrom or relating thereto. Parent acknowledges that the foregoing provision applies whether or not the Law Firm provides legal services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date.

(h) “Pro Rata Percentage” means, with respect to each Payee, the percentage set forth opposite the name of such Payee on Schedule 1 attached hereto.

(a) From the date hereof until the date when the principal under this note has been paid in full, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of this note at the rate of three and one half percent (3.50%) per annum, and shall be paid quarterly in arrears in cash. Such interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. Interest on the unpaid balance shall accrue from the date hereof and quarterly payments shall be due and payable in cash, in arrears, on the fifth (5th) calendar day following the end of each calendar quarter until all outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest and any other costs and fees are paid in full as provided for herein. The first payment of interest shall be due on July 6, 2020. All accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of this note shall be due and payable at the Maturity Date. In the event that any amount under this note is not paid when due, then interest shall accrue on such unpaid amount at a rate of ten percent (10.00%) per annum (the “Default Rate”) until such unpaid amount is paid in cash.

(b) The entire unpaid principal balance of this note and all accrued and unpaid interest on this note, less any offset pursuant to Section 5, less the aggregate amount of any additional Change in Control Payments triggered as a result of such payment, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

In furtherance thereof, none of the terms of this note shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum legal rate. Maker or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this note shall never be liable for interest in excess of such maximum legal amount. If, for any reason whatever, the interest paid or received on this note during its full term produces a rate which exceeds the maximum legal amount, the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Payees, shall credit against the principal of this note (or, if such indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Payees shall refund to the Maker) such portion of said interest as shall be necessary to cause the interest paid on this note to produce a rate equal to the maximum legal rate. All sums contracted for, charged or received by the Payees for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall, to the extent required to avoid or minimize usury and to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of this note so that the interest rate does not exceed the maximum legal rate. The provisions of this Paragraph shall control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and whether written or oral, between Maker and the Payees.

4. Default and Remedies in Event of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default under this note, whereupon the Stockholder Representative, may, at its option, by notice in writing to Maker, declare the principal of this note and accrued interest to the date of such declaration to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration by the Stockholder Representative, such amounts shall become immediately due and payable, and may otherwise exercise any or all rights, powers and remedies afforded by law:

(a) any part of the Debt, including any interest thereon, is not paid when due, whether by lapse of time or acceleration or otherwise, unless such default is fully cured within fifteen (15) calendar days after such due date, or

(b) any proceeding is instituted by or against the Maker under any present or future bankruptcy or insolvency statutory or similar law and, if involuntary, the same are not stayed or dismissed within ninety (90) days, or the Maker makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver, trustee, conservator or other judicial representative is appointed for the Maker.

All powers and remedies afforded to the Stockholder Representative by this Section 4, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of other remedies available to the Stockholder Representative, whether hereunder or by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the observance or performance of the covenants and agreements contained in this note. No delay or omission by the Stockholder Representative to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default hereunder shall impair such right or power or shall be construed as a waiver or acquiescence therein. Every power and remedy given to the Stockholder Representative by this Section 4 or by law may be exercised by the Stockholder Representative from time to time and as often as the Stockholder Representative shall deem expedient.

5. Offset Rights. The parties hereto agree that if Payees shall become liable to (i) the Parent Indemnitees for indemnification under the Acquisition Agreement (as finally determined by a written settlement or a court of competent jurisdiction) or (ii) Maker for any payment under Section 1.8, Section 1.9 and Section 1.10 of the Acquisition Agreement (as finally determined by a written settlement or a court of competent jurisdiction), Maker has the right, in addition to its other rights under the Acquisition Agreement, at law or in equity, to offset any amounts owed to Maker under this note until such liability is satisfied in full.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of Maker in respect of the payments due under this note and any other amounts due under this note (the “Subordinated Debt”) shall be and are fully subordinate and junior in right and time of payment to any and all Senior Debt (as hereinafter defined). No payments or prepayments under this note (a “Payment”), shall be made except in compliance with the provisions of this Section 6. If any Payment is made to the Payees in violation of this provision, then each Payee shall hold the portion of such Payment paid to it in trust for Senior Lender (as hereinafter defined) and shall, after written notice to the Payees, immediately deliver such Payment paid to it in the form received to such Senior Lender. If there is more than one Senior Lender at the time such payments from Payees are due to Senior Lender hereunder, the Payees shall severally make such Payments based on a written certification of priority delivered to the Payees among the entities constituting Senior Lender provided by Maker. If the Payees are required pursuant to the foregoing provisions to deliver any such Payment to Senior Lender, then to the extent Maker received credit for such Payment against amounts due under this note, such credit shall be immediately reversed upon the delivery of such Payment to Senior Lender and such amounts shall once again be due and payable hereunder and evidenced hereby. Seller Representative and the Payees hereby acknowledge and agree that the subordination of this note specifically includes, but is not limited to the Wells Fargo Credit Facility (as hereinafter defined).

(b) The Payees shall be entitled to be paid the amounts due under this note in conformity with the specific payment terms of this note set forth in Section 2, as long as no event of default exists under the agreements executed in connection with the Senior Debt and the making of such Payment would not cause, directly or indirectly, a default or event of default to occur under the terms of the agreements executed in connection with the Senior Debt.

(c) If there should occur any receivership, insolvency, assignment for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement with creditors (whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy or other insolvency laws); a default under the terms of the documents executed in connection with any Senior Debt; sale of all or substantially all of the assets, dissolution, liquidation or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of Maker, or if this note shall be declared due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default under this note, then (i) no amount shall be paid by Maker in respect of the Debt, unless and until the principal of and interest on the Senior Debt then outstanding shall be indefeasibly paid in full, and (ii) no claim or proof of claim shall be filed by the Stockholder Representative or the Payees that shall assert any right to receive any payments in respect of the principal of and interest on this note, unless and until the principal of and interest on the Senior Debt then outstanding shall be indefeasibly paid in full; provided that the Stockholder Representative or the Payees may file a proof of claim in a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Maker, as long as such filing indicates Payees’ subordination hereunder and directs the payment of any amounts payable under such claim to Senior Lender until the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full.

(d) Subject to the rights of Senior Lender under this Section 6 to receive cash, securities or other properties otherwise payable or deliverable to the Payees, nothing contained in this Section 6 shall impair, as between Maker and the Stockholder Representative or the Payees, the obligation of Maker, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to pay to the Payees the principal hereof and interest thereon as and when the same became due and payable, or shall prevent the Stockholder Representative upon an event of default hereunder, from exercising all right, powers and remedies otherwise provided herein or by applicable law.

(e) By its acceptance of this note, the Stockholder Representative agrees to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Maker or Senior Lender in order to implement or clarify the provisions of this Section 6. In addition, the Stockholder Representative and Maker further agree that Senior Lender is a third party beneficiary to the provisions of Section 6 of this note and may enforce the terms thereof against the Stockholder Representative, the Payees, or Maker.

(f) For purposes of this note, the following capitalized terms are defined as follows:

i. “Senior Debt” means the aggregate amount of any and all (A) indebtedness of Maker and its subsidiaries to any third-party financial institution (specifically including all indebtedness and obligations arising under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility), whether or not represented by bonds, debentures, notes or other securities, for the repayment of borrowed money, (B) all indebtedness of Maker and its subsidiaries secured by any lien on any property of such person, whether or not indebtedness secured thereby has been assumed, (C) all obligations of Maker and its subsidiaries with respect to interest rate swap agreements, (D) all other sums now or hereafter payable by Maker and its subsidiaries under the documents reflecting the foregoing indebtedness, including all principal, interest, fees (including attorneys’ fees), charges, costs, expenses and other amounts, and (E) and any and all extensions, replacements, renewals or refinancings of the same; whether existing as of the date hereof or hereafter incurred by Maker and its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, entered into from time to time in the future and the increasing of the amount of such facilities and obligations or extending the maturity date thereof).

ii. “Senior Lender” means collectively, the holders of any Senior Debt from time to time, including their successors and assigns, and specifically including, without limitation, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the other lenders under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “EBITDA” means (without duplication), with respect to any applicable period, the net income of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, plus, the amount of interest expense (net of any interest income) deducted in determining net income, plus, the amount of Taxes related to the earnings or income of the Company and its subsidiaries (whether accrued or paid in cash or deferred) deducted in determining net income, plus, the amount of depreciation and amortization related to the Company and its subsidiaries deducted in determining net income; and EBITDA shall not include (i) any overhead charges or any management fees paid to Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser (other than expenses paid for goods and services procured on an arms-length basis in the ordinary course of business such as insurance, fuel, employee benefits, etc.), (ii) goodwill and other intangibles amortization, that are a result of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Company, (iii) any gain, loss, income or expense resulting from any changes in Purchaser’s accounting methods, principles or practices or a material change in GAAP, and (iv) any “extraordinary items” of gain or loss as that term is defined in GAAP. For purposes of calculating the Earn-Out, EBITDA will be calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, for purposes of calculating the Earn-Out, EBITDA for any applicable period shall be: (i) reduced by any amounts accrued for payment to Stockholder Representative by Purchaser for the WIP Adjustment for the applicable period of computation, or (ii) increased by any amounts accrued for payment to Purchaser by Stockholder Representative for the WIP Adjustment for the applicable period of computation. It is the express intention of the Parties that EBITDA shall be calculated in a manner to fairly reflect the true economic return of the Company as an incremental and separate part of Purchaser and calculated in a manner consistent with the Company’s historical practices as set forth on Exhibit A. The Parties shall use the same financial information and accruals for calculation of the Earn-Out hereunder as they use for calculation of the WIP Adjustment under the Merger Agreement.

(c) Purchaser’s obligation to pay any Earn-Out payment in accordance with this Agreement is an independent obligation and is not otherwise conditioned or contingent upon the satisfaction of any conditions precedent to any preceding or subsequent Earn-Out. For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, if the condition precedent to the payment of the Earn-Out for the period ended June 30, 2021 is not satisfied, but the condition precedent to the payment of the Earn-Out for the period ended June 30, 2022 is satisfied, then Purchaser would be obligated to pay such Earn-Out for the period ended June 30, 2022, and not the Earn-Out for the period ended June 30, 2021.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the combined total of all Earn-Out payments made pursuant to this Section 1, shall not exceed Twenty-Five Million Dollars and No Cents ($25,000,000.00).

(e) Purchaser acknowledges that the possibility of the Company receiving the Earn-Out payments comprises a material inducement for the Company and the Sellers to enter into the Merger Agreement and this Agreement. During the period of time from the Closing Date through June 30, 2022: (i) the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be operated as a separate business unit of the Purchaser, (ii) the Purchaser, and after the Closing, the Company and the Sellers who are Continuing Employees, shall not take, or fail to take, any action for the primary purpose or with the primary intent of augmenting, avoiding or reducing the Earn-Out payments, and (iii) the Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, make any material change in the accounting principles in place at the Company at the Closing Date that negatively effects the calculation of EBITDA other than any change required to be implemented by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

(f) In the event that prior to June 30, 2022 (i) the Company effects a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a third party, (ii) the Purchaser effects a sale of the Company to a third party, (iii) the Purchaser effects a merger or consolidation of the Company or other transaction involving the Company, in each case which results in at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company being owned by a third party or (iv) the Purchaser or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against the Purchaser or the Company seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of its debts under any applicable Law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, within thirty (30) days after such event, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers in full the remaining Earn-Out payments the Sellers would have been entitled to through June 30, 2022 within ten (10) days of such event.

SECTION 2 Payment of Earn-Out. Within ten (10) days after the Earn-Out for a period is finally determined pursuant to Section 3 herein, Purchaser will pay the Earn-Out for such period, if any, less the aggregate amount of any additional Change in Control Payments triggered as a result of the payment of such Earn-Out, to the Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated on the Payment Spreadsheet. If any Earn-Out is not paid by Purchaser to the Sellers when due hereunder, such amount shall accrue interest from and including the date such payment was due through the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 5%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding. Subject to the limitations and other provisions set forth in Article VI of the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser shall have the right to set-off any indemnifiable Losses for which Sellers are responsible against any Earn-Out otherwise due and payable hereunder.

(a) On or before sixty (60) days following the end of each period described in Section 1(a), the Purchaser shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative a proposed written calculation of the Earn-Out earned, if any, as certified in writing by the Purchaser and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 6. Purchaser shall provide, and cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to provide, the Stockholder Representative and his representatives with access to the personnel, financial information, books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries, and shall otherwise cooperate with and reasonably assist the Stockholder Representative in taking such acts as may be necessary to allow Stockholder Representative to prepare all deliverables required or contemplated by this Agreement, the Note and the Merger Agreement and make all necessary calculations in accordance with this Agreement, the Note and the Merger Agreement .

(b) If Stockholder Representative disputes the Purchaser’s calculation of the Earn-Out, Stockholder Representative shall so notify Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of Purchaser’s written calculation referred to in Section 2, and submit to the Purchaser the Stockholder Representative’s proposed calculation of the Earn-Out in writing certified by the Stockholder Representative and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 6. If Stockholder Representative does not dispute the Purchaser’s calculation of the Earn-Out and provide Purchaser with Stockholder Representative’s calculation within such 30-day period, the Purchaser’s calculation of the Earn-Out shall be final and binding on the Parties. If Stockholder Representative disputes Purchaser’s calculation and provides Purchaser with Stockholder Representative’s calculation within such 30-day period, Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser shall then make a good faith effort to meet and resolve the difference between Stockholder Representative’s calculation and the Purchaser’s calculation. If within thirty (30) days after receipt of Stockholder Representative’s calculation, Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser have been unable to reach agreement, Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser within fifteen (15) days thereafter shall jointly select an independent certified public accounting firm, or if they are unable to do so, within twenty (20) days thereafter either Stockholder Representative or the Purchaser shall request the American Arbitration Association to designate a firm of independent certified public accountants having no past or current affiliation with Stockholder Representative, Stockholder Representative’s Affiliates, the Sellers, or the Sellers’ Affiliates (such selected accounting firm being referred to herein as the “Arbitrator”), to determine whether Stockholder Representative’s or the Purchaser’s calculation is most accurate. The Arbitrator shall certify this decision in writing to the Parties, and shall have no choice but to select either the Stockholder Representative’s calculation in its entirety or the Purchaser’s calculation in its entirety (there shall be no award of pre-judgment interest). The Arbitrator’s determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Arbitrator, including any attorneys’ or experts’ fees related thereto, shall be borne by the non-prevailing Party.

SECTION 4 Modification and Waiver of Breach. No waiver or modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless it is in writing signed by the Purchaser and Stockholder Representative. No waiver of a breach hereof shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of a future breach, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature.

SECTION 5 Assignment. The rights and obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement may, without the consent of the Stockholder Representative, be assigned by Purchaser, in its sole and unfettered discretion, (a) to any subsidiary or Affiliate of Purchaser, provided that in the event of any such assignment Purchaser must guarantee all obligations hereunder, (b) to any transferee, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, that directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of Purchaser, provided that in the event of any such assignment Purchaser must guarantee all obligations hereunder, or (c) as collateral to any lender or provider of financing to the Purchaser or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Purchaser. Except as expressly provided in the preceding sentence, no Party may directly or indirectly assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

SECTION 6 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person, by facsimile (with receipt confirmed) or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows:

SECTION 7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof.

SECTION 8 Gender; “Including” is Not Limiting; Descriptive Headings. The masculine and neuter genders used in this Agreement each includes the masculine, feminine and neuter genders, and the singular number includes the plural, each where appropriate, and vice versa. Wherever the term “including” or a similar term is used in this Agreement, it shall be read as if it were written “including by way of example only and without in any way limiting the generality of the clause or concept referred to.” The descriptive headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 9 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Facsimile or scanned and emailed (i.e., Portable Document Format (pdf)) transmission of any signed original document or retransmission of any signed facsimile or scanned and emailed (pdf) transmission shall constitute enforceable original documents and will be deemed the same as delivery of an original. At the request of any Party, the Parties will confirm facsimile or scanned and emailed transmission by signing a duplicate original document.

SECTION 11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all other documents dated as of the date hereof and on the Closing constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 12 Reformation and Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be separable and a determination that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, unenforceable or void shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or void, it shall, to the extent possible, be modified and/or interpreted in such manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable, but so as to most nearly retain the intent of the Parties, and if such modification is not possible, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement, and in either case, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any court of competent jurisdiction is authorized and directed by the Parties to enforce any otherwise invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision in part, to modify it, to enforce it only to a degree and not fully, or otherwise to enforce that provision only in a manner and to an extent, or for a shorter period of time, that renders the provision valid or enforceable. The intent of the Parties is that this Agreement be enforceable and enforced to the maximum extent possible after excising (or deeming excised) all invalid or unenforceable provisions, whether or not the remaining provisions are grammatically correct.

SECTION 13 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas in Houston, and/or any state district court of the State of Texas located in Harris County, Texas in any action, suit or proceeding brought by or against such Party in connection with, arising from or relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and any document contemplated herein or otherwise relating hereto, and each Party hereby waives and further agrees not to assert as a defense in any such suit, action or proceeding any claim that such Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such courts, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such courts. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE IRREVOCABLY ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR OTHERWISE RELATED HERETO.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

The WIP Adjustment shall be calculated on a contract-by-contract basis using the following formula:

For example, if at the Closing the Company has earned $800,000 of revenue and accrued $600,000 of expenses with respect to a particular project and upon commencement of the project’s warranty period, total revenue is $1,000,000 and total costs are $650,000, the WIP Adjustment with respect to that project would be positive $123,077, reflecting the additional margin that would have been reflected as of the Closing. Also, for example, if at the Closing, the Company has recognized $800,000 of revenue and incurred $600,000 of expenses with respect to a particular project, and upon commencement of the project’s warranty period, total revenue earned is $1,000,000 and total expenses are $1,100,000, the WIP Adjustment with respect to that project would be negative $300,000, composed of $200,000 in margin that had been incorrectly recognized as of the Closing plus $54,546 representing the amount of the loss that had been spent before the Closing, plus $45,454 representing the amount of expected loss that would have been accrued pursuant to GAAP as of the Closing for the project.

A Letter of Transmittal and the Certificate(s) and Warrant(s) must be received by Parent, in satisfactory form, in order to make an effective surrender.

2. Terms of Conversion of the Shares. Each Share and Warrant (as shown in the box on the first page of this Letter of Transmittal) was converted at the Effective Time of the Merger into the right to receive cash merger consideration, without interest, and subject to applicable withholding, as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

3. Guarantee of Signature. The Certificate(s) need not be endorsed and stock powers and signature guarantees are unnecessary unless (a) the Certificate(s) is(are) registered in a name other than that of the person surrendering the Certificate(s) or (b) such registered holder completes the Special Payment/Delivery Instructions on the first page of this Letter of Transmittal or requests payment to a name other than the registered holder.

The registered holder(s) will bear liability for any stock transfer taxes applicable to the delivery of checks in payment for surrendered Shares and Warrants; provided, however, that if any such check is to be issued to any person(s) other than the registered holder(s) of the surrendered Shares and Warrants, it shall be a condition of the issuance and delivery of such check that the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s) or such person(s)) payable on account of the transfer (or transfers) of the surrendered Shares and Warrants shall be delivered to Parent or satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or nonapplicability thereof shall be submitted to Parent before such check will be issued.

6. Validity of Surrender, Irregularities. All questions as to validity, form and eligibility of any surrender of Shares and Warrants hereby will be determined by Parent (which may delegate power in whole or in part to Parent), and such determination shall be final and binding. Parent reserves the right to waive any irregularities or defects in the surrender of any Shares, and its interpretations of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and of this Letter of Transmittal (including these instructions) with respect to such irregularities or defects shall be final and binding. A surrender will not be deemed to have been made until all irregularities have been cured or waived.

If the Certificate(s) has (have) been lost or destroyed, such fact should be indicated on the face of this Letter of Transmittal. In such event, Parent will forward additional documentation and instructions necessary to be completed in order to effectively surrender the Shares and Warrants represented by such lost or destroyed Certificate(s) (including instructions relating to payment by holder of such lost or destroyed Certificate of an indemnity/surety bond fee equal to 2.25% of the cash value of the Shares and Warrants represented by such Certificate with a minimum of $150.00.

This Third Amendment to the Commercial Lease (this “Amendment”) is made as of the [___] day of [_______], 2020 (the “Effective Date”) by and between IFP-II, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Landlord”), and TAS ENERGY INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”). Reference is made herein to that certain Commercial Lease Agreement, dated September 21, 2018, by and between Landlord and Tenant (the “Original Lease Agreement” and, together with the First Amendment to the Commercial Lease, dated September 21, 2018 (the “First Amendment”), the Second Amendment to the Commercial Lease, dated April 1, 2019 (the “Second Amendment”) and this Amendment, the “Lease”) for the property located at 12218 Robin Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77045 (the “Property”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning given to them in the Original Lease Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Lease is hereby amended and the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. Option Term. Section 1.04 of the Original Lease Agreement shall be struck and replaced with the following:

Provided Tenant is not in default, the Tenant is granted the option to extend the Term of this Lease for three (3) additional five (5) year periods, the first of which will commence at the end of the original Lease Term as set forth in §1.01 (the “First Renewal Period”). The second renewal period will commence at the end of the First Renewal Period (the “Second Renewal Period”). The third renewal period will commence at the end of the Second Renewal Period (the “Third Renewal Period”). Tenant must give notice to the Landlord no more than two (2) years and no less than three hundred sixty (360) days prior to the end of the initial Lease Term or prior to the end of the First Renewal Period or Second Renewal Period, as applicable, stating Tenant’s intention to exercise its renewal option. Within a reasonable time after Tenant’s written notice setting forth its intention to extend the Lease Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease evidencing the extension of the Lease for the renewal period. Base Rent shall increase annually during the First Renewal Period, Second Renewal Period or Third Renewal Period, as applicable, by the percentage increase, if any, in the CPI each year during the period (the “Renewal Rate”).

“CPI” means the monthly indexes of the National Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (1982-84 equals 100) issued from time to time by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (the “Bureau”) or any successor measure hereafter employed by the Bureau in lieu of such price index that measures the cost of living in the United States; provided, however, that if no such successor measure is published, then the term "CPI" shall mean the most nearly comparable index reflecting changes in costs of housing (including rental housing), energy and services published by any Governmental Authority, as appropriately adjusted; and provided, further, that if, after the date hereof, the CPI is converted to a different standard reference base or a substantial change is made in the number or character of "market basket" items contained therein, then for purposes of this Lease the CPI shall be adjusted (with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table as is published by the Bureau or, if no such publication is made by the Bureau, by any nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information) to the figure that would have resulted if not for such conversion or change.

3. Assignment. Section 14.01 shall be amended to insert the following at the end of the section:

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant may assign this Lease, or any right or interest in this Lease or in the Leased Premises or the Improvements on the Leased Premises, to its successor-in-interest as a result of a change in control transaction or to an entity controlled by or under common control with Tenant.

Tenant and Landlord agree that this Amendment shall satisfy any requirements for prior written notice related to such an assignment.

4. Entire Agreement. This Amendment, together with the Original Lease Agreement, the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, represent the entire agreement between the parties hereto. Landlord and Tenant agree that there are no collateral or oral agreements or understandings between them with respect to the Property. This Amendment supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements, letters or other statements with respect to the Property.

5. No Further Modifications. Except as expressly amended and modified hereby or as amended and modified in the First Amendment and Second Amendment, the Original Lease Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect, the parties hereto hereby ratifying and confirming the same. To the extent of any inconsistency between the Original Lease Agreement or a previous amendment and this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall control.

6. Counterpart Execution. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which when attached together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the partiers hereto have duly executed this Amendment as of the day and year first above written.

This Second Amendment to the Commercial Lease (this “Amendment”) is made as of the [__] day of [______], 2020 (the “Effective Date”) by and between INDUSTRIAL FABRICATION PROPERTIES, LTD., a Texas limited partnership (“Landlord”), and TAS ENERGY INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”). Reference is made herein to that certain Commercial Lease Agreement, dated September 21, 2018, by and between Landlord and Tenant (the “Original Lease Agreement” and, together with the First Amendment to the Commercial Lease, dated April 1, 2019 (the “First Amendment”) and this Amendment, the “Lease”) for the property located at 6110 Cullen Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77021 (including the addresses 6110 Cullen Boulevard, 6110 #A Cullen Boulevard, 6110 #B Cullen Boulevard, 6110 ½ #A Cullen Boulevard, and 6134 Cullen Boulevard) (the “Property”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning given to them in the Original Lease Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment.

1. Option Term. Section 1.04 of the Original Lease Agreement shall be struck and replaced with the following:

3. Assignment. Section 14.01 shall be amended to insert the following at the end of the section:

Tenant and Landlord agree that this Amendment shall satisfy any requirements for prior written notice related to such an assignment.

4. Entire Agreement. This Amendment, together with the Original Lease Agreement and the First Amendment, represent the entire agreement between the parties hereto. Landlord and Tenant agree that there are no collateral or oral agreements or understandings between them with respect to the Property. This Amendment supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements, letters or other statements with respect to the Property.

5. No Further Modifications. Except as expressly amended and modified hereby or as amended and modified in the First Amendment, the Original Lease Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect, the parties hereto hereby ratifying and confirming the same. To the extent of any inconsistency between the Original Lease Agreement or a previous amendment and this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the partiers hereto have duly executed this Amendment as of the day and year first above written.
