(v) Each Predecessor Entity shall make an Entity Classification Election by filing IRS Form 8832 to be effective as of the applicable Predecessor Entity’s Conversion Date, which Form 8832 shall reflect that each respective Predecessor Entity is electing pursuant to Part I, Box 6(c) thereof to become a domestic eligible entity with a single owner electing to be disregarded as a separate entity.

(vi) On or after the Company’s Conversion Date, the Company shall distribute the non-operating assets that are described on Section 1.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedules or that are determined to be excluded from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement by mutual agreement of the Buyer (with respect to which, the Parties have mutually agreed to so exclude Blattner Wind ULC if it has not been dissolved prior to the Pre-Closing Transactions, for which the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect prior to Closing) and the Shareholder Representative, including transferring by deed the real property described on Section 1.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedules.

ARTICLE 3.

MERGER CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

3.1 Calculation of the Estimated Merger Consideration. The “Estimated Merger Consideration” shall be equal to:

(a) Company Enterprise Value;

(b) plus the Working Capital Estimate (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Working Capital Estimate is a negative number, it will result in a decrease to the amount of the Estimated Merger Consideration);

(d) minus the sum of:

(i) the Credit Facility Payoff Amount;

(ii) the Estimated Assumed Indebtedness Amount;

(iii) the Estimated Company LTGP Net Benefit Amount;

(iv) the Estimated Company NQRP Unfunded Benefit Amount;

(v) the Estimated Closing Company Expenses; and

(vi) the Buyer Adjustment Holdback Amount.

The components of the Estimated Merger Consideration referenced in clauses (b), (c) and (d) (other than (y) the Credit Facility Payoff Amount and (z) the Buyer Adjustment Holdback Amount) of this Section 3.1 shall be determined in accordance with and subject to adjustment following the Closing pursuant to Section 3.5 (such components, the “Merger Consideration Components”). The Estimated Merger Consideration shall be paid in the form of the Estimated Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration.

3.2 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock of the Company and Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of any Company Common Stock:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. All of the limited liability company interests of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for an equivalent number of limited liability company interests (free of any Encumbrances) in the Surviving Company. Any certificate of Merger Sub evidencing limited liability company interests in Merger Sub shall automatically be deemed to evidence ownership of limited liability company interests in the Surviving Company.

28

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Shares of the Company. All Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned directly or indirectly by the Company, if any (whether held in treasury or otherwise) will be automatically cancelled and will cease to exist and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Outstanding Shares.

(i) All Outstanding Shares of the Company (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any of the shares of New Holdco common stock) immediately prior to the Effective Time (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any Company Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.2(b)) will be cancelled and extinguished and be converted into the right to receive payment of the Merger Consideration as provided herein.

(ii) The Shareholder Representative will be solely responsible for distributing (or designating for distribution, as set forth herein) the Merger Consideration to the Company Shareholders (as of the Effective Time) in accordance with the Company Charter and applicable provisions of Merger Law. Without limiting Section 4.1, the Buyer will be entitled to rely on any decision, action, consent or instruction of New Holdco (or any successor or agent thereof) relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, as being the decision, action, consent or instruction of the Company Shareholders, and the Buyer (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and representatives) is hereby relieved from any and all Losses to any Company Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates or successors or representatives or any other Person for acts done or omissions made by the Buyer (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and representatives) in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction.

(d) Company LTGP Awards.

(i) Subject to and in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Company LTGP, at the Effective Time, (i) each Company LTGP award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Outstanding Company LTGP Award”) shall automatically and without any required action on the part of the Company LTGP Holder thereof, become fully vested (to the extent not previously vested), and (ii) each Outstanding Company LTGP Award shall be cancelled in exchange for an amount, less applicable withholding Taxes and deductions, equal to the Benefit Amount (as defined in the Company LTGP) payable with respect to such Outstanding Company LTGP Award under Section 4.3.1 of the Company LTGP (such Benefit Amounts, collectively, the “Company LTGP Benefit Amount”). The Company LTGP Benefit Amount shall be paid to the Company LTGP Holders at such times and subject to such conditions as set forth in the Company LTGP. Any portion of the Company LTGP Net Benefit Amount that does not become payable to the Company LTGP Holders following the Closing due to the failure of any Company LTGP Holder to satisfy the conditions required to receive payment of his or her portion of the Company LTGP Benefit Amount (such amounts, collectively, the “Forfeited LTGP Benefit Amount”) shall be delivered to the Shareholder Representative pursuant and subject to Section 3.4(c).

29

(ii) The Company LTGP will be terminated and cancelled effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(iii) From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Outstanding Company LTGP Awards shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, other than the right to receive the applicable portion of the Company LTGP Benefit Amount in accordance with the terms of the Company LTGP (and, for clarity, the holders of Outstanding Company LTGP Awards shall have no rights under this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Merger).

(iv) The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all actions, including providing all notices, adopting all resolutions and obtaining all consents, in each case, that are necessary or desirable to effectuate this Section 3.2(d) in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Company LTGP and any applicable agreements evidencing Company LTGP awards. Buyer shall be entitled to advance review and approval all such documentation, which review and approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

(e) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock shall be issued as the Stock Consideration and the Designated Company Shareholders shall be entitled to receive the nearest whole share of Buyer Common Stock rounded upwards, without reducing or increasing the amount of the Estimated Cash Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement.

3.3 Transactions to be Completed at the Closing. At the Closing or as otherwise specified in this Section 3.3, but subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Buyer or the Shareholder Representative, as applicable) of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing but which are capable of being satisfied at such time), the following transactions shall be effected:

(a) The Buyer shall deliver or caused to be delivered:

(i) to the Designated Company Shareholders (as specified on Section 5.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account or bank accounts designated in writing by the Shareholder Representative (such designation to be made at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), an amount in cash equal to the Estimated Cash Consideration in respect of the Outstanding Shares of the Company (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any of the shares of New Holdco common stock).

(iii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account or bank accounts designated in writing by the trustee(s) of the Company NQRP, an amount in cash equal to the Company NQRP Unfunded Benefit Amount (such designation to be made at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date).

(iv) to the applicable lender(s) under the Existing Credit Facility or its designee(s), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account or bank accounts as set forth in the Payoff Letters, an amount equal to the Credit Facility Payoff Amount.

31

Consideration Allocation Statement, and (ii) each Designated Company Shareholder executes and delivers to the Buyer in conjunction therewith a certification (the form of which shall be subject to Buyer’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) that consenting to the allocation reflected on the Estimated Merger Consideration Allocation Statement, which certification shall expressly include a statement that the Buyer is entitled to rely on such allocation reflected therein and the Buyer (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and representatives) (each of whom will be expressly included as third party beneficiaries of such certification) is further relieved and fully released from any and all Losses to any Designated Company Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates or successors or representatives or any other Person for acts done or omissions made by the Buyer (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and representatives) in accordance with Buyer’s reliance on the Estimated Merger Consideration Allocation Statement in making disbursements to the Company Shareholders or the Shareholder Representative contemplated by this Agreement to be made at Closing.

(b) The Company shall deliver to the Buyer (i) concurrently with the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, payoff letters (the “Payoff Letters”) from the lender(s) under the Existing Credit Facility which shall set forth (A) the Credit Facility Payoff Amount, (B) the wiring instructions for the bank account(s) to which such amount(s) shall be paid and (C) an acknowledgement that, subject to the repayment in full of the Credit Facility Payoff Amount, all obligations in respect thereof shall be terminated and released and all Encumbrances securing the Existing Credit Facility have been or concurrently will be released (which Payoff Letters shall be in customary form) and (ii) all of the documents required to be delivered by the Shareholder Representative and/or the Company pursuant to Article 8, duly executed by the Shareholder Representative and/or the Company, as applicable.

(c) The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (i) a good faith estimate of the Closing Company Expenses and any copies of invoices related thereto and (ii) the wiring instructions for bank account(s) to which any portion of the Closing Company Expenses shall be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Upon surrender of the Certificate, the Certificate so surrendered will be cancelled as of the Effective Time. Each Certificate will be deemed at all times from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amounts under Section 3.2(c), as applicable, that become payable with respect to the applicable Outstanding Shares of the Company (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any of the shares of New Holdco common stock).

32

(b) Company LTGP Benefit Amount Payments. Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to each Company LTGP Holder a termination agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (a “Company LTGP Holder Agreement”), together with instructions for completing, executing and returning such Company LTGP Holder Agreement to the Company prior to the Closing in exchange for the portion of the Company LTGP Benefit Amount payable to such Company LTGP Holder pursuant to Section 3.2(d). The Surviving Company shall pay the applicable portion of the Company LTGP Benefit Amount that is payable to each Company LTGP Holder at or within thirty (30) days after the Closing under the terms of the Company LTGP through payroll during the first scheduled payroll date following the Closing that is at least three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, the Designated Company Shareholders (and the Shareholder Representative on behalf of any Designated Company Shareholder) shall cease to have any rights to the Company Common Stock, as the equity rights transfer books of the Company will be closed with respect to any and all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and there will be no further transfer on any such shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the equity rights transfer books of the Surviving Company.

(d) Adjustments. Except with respect to changes in Outstanding Shares resulting from the Conversion, if, during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, any change in the Outstanding Shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock, shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares of Company Common Stock, or any similar transaction, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the consideration payable in respect of such equity right in accordance with Section 3.2(c) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no such adjustments will result in an increase or other adjustment, in the aggregate, to any portion of the Merger Consideration to be paid under this Agreement.

(e) Distribution of Forfeited Benefit Amounts. On the date that is fourteen (14)-months following the Closing, the Forfeited Benefit Amounts will be delivered to the Shareholder Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account or bank accounts designated in writing by the Shareholder Representative. The Shareholder Representative shall be solely responsible for any further obligations in respect of the Forfeited Benefit Amounts, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) shall bear any obligation or responsibility to any Person with respect to the distribution of such amounts or otherwise.

3.5 Adjustment to the Estimated Merger Consideration.

(a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer a good faith estimate (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) of the Merger Consideration Components, including (i) Closing Working Capital (the “Working Capital Estimate”), (ii) the amount of Assumed Indebtedness (the “Estimated Assumed Indebtedness Amount”), (iii) the amount of Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”), (iv) the Company LTGP Net Benefit Amount (the “Estimated Company LTGP Net Benefit Amount”), (v) the Company NQRP Unfunded Benefit Amount (the “Estimated Company NQRP Unfunded Benefit Amount”) and (vi) the amount of Closing Company Expenses, including an itemized list thereof specifying the amount of each Closing Company Expense (the “Estimated Closing Company Expenses”), in each case, prepared in accordance with the Balance Sheet Rules, if applicable, and this Agreement and in a manner consistent with the sample calculation set forth in Exhibit H attached hereto. The Company shall reasonably consult with the Buyer prior to the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Company shall consider in good faith any revisions proposed by Buyer to the calculations set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement during such consultation between the Company and Buyer, and to the extent the Company agrees with any such revisions, the Estimated Closing Statement shall be modified to reflect such revisions; provided, however, that the Company and the Shareholder Representative acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall not be deemed to have agreed to any of the amounts or calculations set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement or the calculation of each Merger Consideration Component therein by virtue of having proposed any revisions (whether or not accepted) pursuant to the foregoing and the use of such Estimated Closing Statement (whether it includes any revisions proposed by Buyer or not) shall not in any way prejudice Buyer’s right to disagree with, dispute or change (x) any amount or Merger Consideration Component in the Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.5(b) or (y) any amount in the Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.6(a). For the avoidance of doubt, any failure of Buyer to raise any objection or dispute with respect to the Estimated Closing Statement shall not in any way prejudice Buyer’s right to disagree with, dispute or change (A) any amount or Merger Consideration Component in the Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.5(b) or (y) any amount in the Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.6(a).

(b) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Shareholder Representative a statement of its calculation of the Merger Consideration Components, including the Closing Working Capital, the Assumed Indebtedness, the Closing Cash, the Company LTGP Net Benefit Amount, the Company NQRP Unfunded Benefit Amount and the Closing Company Expenses in each case prepared in accordance with the Balance Sheet Rules, if applicable, and this Agreement (the “Statement”) and together with reasonable supporting detail relating thereto. The Buyer shall not amend, supplement or modify the Statement following its delivery to the Shareholder Representative.

34

(c) The Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the forty-fifth (45^th) day following the date on which the Statement was delivered to the Shareholder Representative, unless the Shareholder Representative delivers written notice of its disagreement with the Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to the Buyer prior to such date. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by the Buyer in a timely manner, then the Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the earlier of (A) the date the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Independent Accountant. During the fourteen (14)-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If at the end of said fourteen (14)-day period the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer have not resolved in writing the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer shall submit to the Independent Accountant for resolution, acting as an expert and in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 3.5, only matters that remain in dispute.

(i) The Shareholder Representative and the Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to the Independent Accountant within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such submission. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accountant shall be limited to fixing mathematical errors and determining whether the items disputed in the Notice of Disagreement were determined in accordance with the Balance Sheet Rules, if applicable, and this Agreement, and the Independent Accountant is not to make any other determination, including any determination (unless subject to dispute) as to whether the Working Capital Estimate, the Estimated Assumed Indebtedness Amount, the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, the Estimated Company LTGP Net Benefit Amount, the Estimated Company NQRP Unfunded Benefit Amount or the Estimated Closing Company Expenses are correct.

(ii) The Independent Accountant’s decision shall be based solely on written submissions by the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer and their respective Representatives and not by independent review and shall be final and binding on all of the Parties. The Independent Accountant may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accountant in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant incurred pursuant to this Section 3.5 or Section 3.6, as applicable, shall be allocated between the Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Shareholders), on the one hand, and the Surviving Company, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party in the Notice of Disagreement or Notice of Projects-in-Process Disagreement. For example, if the Shareholder Representative claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by

35

Buyer and if the Independent Accountant ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding to the Shareholder Representative $600 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be allocated 60% (i.e., 600 divided by 1,000) to the Company and 40% (i.e., 400 divided by 1,000) to the Shareholder Representative. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5(c)(ii) are referred to herein as the (“Independent Accountant Procedures”).

(d) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Final Working Capital” means the Closing Working Capital, “Final Assumed Indebtedness” means the Assumed Indebtedness, “Final Closing Cash” means the Closing Cash, “Final Company LTGP Net Benefit Amount” means the Company LTGP Net Benefit Amount, “Final Company NQRP Unfunded Benefit Amount” means the Company NQRP Unfunded Benefit Amount and “Final Closing Company Expenses” means the Closing Company Expenses, in each case, as finally agreed or determined in accordance with Section 3.5(c). Following the determination of the Final Working Capital, the Final Assumed Indebtedness, the Final Closing Cash, the Final Company LTGP Net Benefit Amount, the Final Company NQRP Unfunded Benefit Amount and the Final Closing Company Expenses pursuant to this Agreement, the Merger Consideration shall be (i) increased by the Company Adjustment Amount and (ii) decreased by the Buyer Adjustment Amount as described herein. If the Company Adjustment Amount exceeds the Buyer Adjustment Amount, within three (3) Business Days after the Final Working Capital, the Final Assumed Indebtedness, the Final Closing Cash, the Final Company LTGP Net Benefit Amount, the Final Company NQRP Unfunded Benefit Amount and the Final Closing Company Expenses are determined, the Buyer shall cause the Surviving Company to pay to the Shareholder Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such excess. If the Buyer Adjustment Amount exceeds the Company Adjustment Amount, within three (3) Business Days after the Final Working Capital, the Final Assumed Indebtedness, the Final Closing Cash, the Final Company LTGP Net Benefit Amount, the Final Company NQRP Unfunded Benefit Amount and the Final Closing Company Expenses are determined, the Shareholder Representative shall deliver to the Surviving Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such excess. Upon payment of the amounts provided in this Section 3.5(d), none of the Parties may make or assert any claim under this Agreement for any matter included in the Merger Consideration; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the other express provisions of this Agreement, including any determinations pursuant to Section 3.6.

(e) If the Company Adjustment Amount is equal to the Buyer Adjustment Amount, then no payments shall be made by the Buyer or the Shareholder Representative pursuant to Section 3.5(d).

(f) In connection with the determination of the final Merger Consideration Components as contemplated by this Section 3.5, the Buyer shall not take any action with respect to the accounting books and records of the Company, or the items reflected thereon, on which the Statement is to be based, that is inconsistent with the Company’s past practices or the Balance Sheet Rules. No such actions taken by the Buyer on its own behalf or on behalf of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries on or following the Closing Date shall be given effect for purposes of determining the final Merger Consideration

36

Components. During the period of time from and after the Closing Date through the final determination and payment of the final Merger Consideration Components in accordance with this Section 3.5, subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 7.3(d), the Buyer shall afford, and shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to afford, to the Shareholder Representative and the Independent Accountant, if any, and any accountants, counsel or other Representatives retained by the Shareholder Representative and/or the Independent Accountant, if any, in connection with the review of the Merger Consideration Components in accordance with this Section 3.5, reasonable direct access during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to all the properties, books, contracts, personnel, Representatives (including the Buyer’s and the Company’s accountants) and records of the Buyer, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and such Representatives (including the work papers of the Company’s accountants) relevant to the review of the Statement and the calculation of the Merger Consideration Components in accordance with this Section 3.5.

3.6 Projects in Process True Up.

(a) The period from the Closing Date (or if the Adjustment Time is not as of the last day of a calendar month, then the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month) through and including the last day of the fifth full calendar month following the Closing is the “Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Period.” Within forty-five (45) days following the end of the Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Period, the Buyer shall deliver to the Shareholder Representative a statement of Buyer’s reconciliation of the state of completion of each of the projects in process identified on the Company Projects-in-Process Schedule, updated to reflect all project-related metrics of each project-in-process reflected thereon as of the Adjustment Time after giving effect to the additional financial and operation information obtained during the Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Period (herein the “Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Statement”). The Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Statement shall be accompanied by Buyer’s determination of the amount due to or from Buyer with respect to the Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Statement using the form of the sample calculation attached hereto as Exhibit G (the amount reflected thereon as the G.P. change for the relevant dates, the “Projects-in-Process Gross Profit/Loss Adjustment Amount,” which such amount shall also include any adjustment related to a proportional allocation (based on the timing of the Adjustment Time and the Shareholder Representative responsible therefor on behalf of the Designated Company Shareholders prior to such time) of the actual 2021 Bonuses paid or to be paid (including any discretionary amounts), as determined by the Surviving Company by taking into account of the actual achievement of the 2021 Annual Bonus Targets for each Continuing Employee, the actual operating performance and financial results of the Company for the financial year ending on December 31, 2021 and, subjectively, the demonstrated excellence, exceptional commitment and accomplishments of the respective Continuing Employee, as compared to the estimated 2021 Bonuses which is used for determining the accrued 2021 Bonuses included in the Final Working Capital, as described in Exhibit A). The objective of the foregoing reconciliation is to refine the amounts and percentages reflected on the Company Projects-in-Process Statement, including the effect of updated estimates applied in accordance with the Accounting Methodology, to reflect updated and refined project-to-date metrics for each such project-in-process as of the Adjustment Time,

37

and to refine the portion of the bonus amounts attributable to and accrued during the period starting on January 1, 2021 and ending on one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Projects-in-Process Gross Profit/Loss Adjustment Amount shall be determined net of any income Tax payable by the Buyer or the Surviving Company or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Company with respect to the components thereof at the Assumed Tax Rate, but only to the extent that any such component thereof is not included or includible by the Company or any Company Subsidiary in any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(b) The Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the forty-fifth (45^th) day following the date on which the Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Statement and the Projects-in-Process Gross Profit/Loss Adjustment Amount calculation was delivered to the Shareholder Representative, unless the Shareholder Representative delivers written notice of its disagreement with the Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Statement (a “Notice of Projects-in-Process Disagreement”) in a timely manner, in which case, the Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Statement and the Projects-in-Process Gross Profit/Loss Adjustment Amount calculation (as revised in accordance with Section 3.6(b)) shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the earlier of (A) the date the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Projects-in-Process Disagreement and (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Independent Accountant. During the fourteen (14)-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Projects-in-Process Disagreement, the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Projects-in-Process Disagreement. If at the end of such fourteen (14)-day period the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer have not resolved in writing the matters specified in the Notice of Projects-in-Process Disagreement, the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer shall submit to the Independent Accountant for resolution, acting as an expert and in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 3.6, only matters that remain in dispute. The Shareholder Representative and the Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to the Independent Accountant within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such submission. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accountant shall be limited to fixing mathematical errors and determining whether the items disputed in the Notice of Projects-in-Process Disagreement were determined in accordance with this Section 3.6, and this Agreement, and the Independent Accountant is not to make any other determination. The Independent Accountant Procedures and Section 3.5(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the resolution of matters submitted to the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 3.6(b).

(c) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount” means the Projects-in-Process Gross Profit/Loss Adjustment Amount reflected on the Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Statement, as such amount is finally agreed or determined in accordance with Section 3.6(b). Following the determination of the Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount, the Merger Consideration shall be (i) increased by the amount of the aggregate Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount if the aggregate Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount is positive and (ii) decreased by

38

the amount of the aggregate Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount if the aggregate Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount is negative. If the aggregate Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount is positive, resulting in an increase in the Merger Consideration, within three (3) Business Days after the Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount is determined, the Buyer shall cause the Surviving Company to pay to the Shareholder Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the aggregate Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount. If the aggregate Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount is negative, resulting in a decrease in the Merger Consideration, within three (3) Business Days after the Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount is determined, the Shareholder Representative shall deliver to the Surviving Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount. Upon payment of the amounts provided in this Section 3.6(c), none of the Parties may make or assert any claim under this Agreement for any matter included in the Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount. If the Final Projects-in-Process Adjustment Amount is zero, then no payments shall be made by the Buyer or the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Section 3.6(c).

(d) The Projects-in-Process Reconciliation Statement, as finally agreed or determined in accordance with Section 3.6(b), shall also reflect the mutually agreed apportionment of contract revenues, cost of revenues, and the allocation of gross profit for the Company Projects-in-Process reflected thereon for financial accounting and income tax purposes.

3.7 Tax Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration, or any other payment payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under any provision of federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law with respect to any such payment, and to request any necessary tax forms or information, including Form W-9 or any similar information. To the extent that amounts are so deducted, withheld, and timely paid to the appropriate Tax authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction, withholding and payment was made. Except with respect to compensation payments to employees or other similar payments, and provided the Buyer timely receives the Form W-9s and information described in this Section 3.7, Buyer is not aware of any withholding Taxes that may become due and payable in connection with the payment of the Merger Consideration to the holder(s) of Outstanding Shares pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to any payment of the Merger Consideration to the Designated Company Shareholders, Buyer shall provide prompt written notice of its intention to deduct and withhold such amounts to the Person in respect of whom such withholding is to be made of the amount of such Tax and the basis upon which such withholding is required. Buyer shall cooperate with the Shareholder Representative in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist with reasonable requests from the Shareholder Representative to obtain exemptions from, or reductions of, any Taxes required to be withheld from payments to this Agreement.

3.8 Contingent Consideration. In addition to the Estimated Merger Consideration payable at the Closing, Buyer shall pay to the Designated Company Shareholders the Contingent Consideration as and when due, if applicable, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Exhibit J.

ARTICLE 4.

SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE

4.1 Appointment of Shareholder Representative.

(a) The Shareholder Representative, is hereby irrevocably appointed as each Company Shareholder’s representative and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act for and on behalf of such Company Shareholder, with full power of substitution in the premises, in connection with the matters set forth in this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including for the purposes of: (i) making decisions with respect to the determination of the Merger Consideration and any components thereof, (ii) resolving or settling any dispute relating to this Agreement, (iii) determining whether the conditions to Closing in Article 9 have been satisfied and supervising the Closing, including waiving any condition, (iv) taking any action that may be necessary or desirable in connection with the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, (v) executing, delivering and taking any and all actions that may be necessary or desirable in connection with any amendment to this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, (vi) executing and delivering, on behalf of the Company or the Company Shareholders, any and all agreements, statements, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments, notices, documents or certificates to be executed by the Company or the Company Shareholders in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (vii) making or receiving any payments under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and distributing and disbursing such payments to the Company Shareholders, or paying any expenses under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (viii) granting any waiver, consent, approval, or election on behalf of the Company or the Company Shareholders required under this Agreement, (ix) making any filings with any Governmental Authority of behalf of the Company or Company Shareholders under this Agreement, (x) negotiating and entering into any settlement or defending any claim or litigation against or instituting any claim or litigation by the Company Shareholders with respect to the matters contemplated by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (xi) making any determinations and settling any matters in connection with the adjustments to the Estimated Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.5, (xii) taking any and all actions, making any and all decisions and doing any and all other things provided in, contemplated by or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to be performed on behalf of the Company Shareholders, and exercising such rights, powers and authority as are incidental thereto, and (xiii) performing the duties expressly assigned to the Shareholder Representative hereunder. All such actions by the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Section 4.1 will be binding on the Company Shareholders.

(b) The appointment of the Shareholder Representative as each Company Shareholder’s respective attorney-in-fact revokes any power of attorney heretofore granted that authorized any other Person to represent such Company Shareholder with regard to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The authority conferred to the Shareholder Representative under this Section 4.1 is an agency coupled with an interest, and all authority conferred hereby is irrevocable and not subject to termination by any of the Company Shareholder’s or by operation of Law, whether by the death or incapacity,

40

liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other inability to act of any Company Shareholder, the termination of any trust or estate or the occurrence of any other event. If any Company Shareholder should die or become incapacitated, or be liquidated, dissolved or wound up, if any trust or estate should terminate or if any other such event should occur, any action taken by the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement will be as valid as if such death or incapacity, liquidation, termination or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the Shareholder Representative received notice of such death, incapacity, liquidation, termination or other event.

(c) With respect to each Company Shareholder, the appointment of the Shareholder Representative will be deemed to occur automatically by virtue of the action of the Company Board to approve the Merger, the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Company Shareholders and/or such Company Shareholder’s acceptance of any consideration paid, directly or indirectly via New Holdco, pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) The Shareholder Representative hereby acknowledges that it has carefully read and understands the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 4.1 and accepts its appointment as Shareholder Representative, all in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.1 and as expressly provided in this Agreement. Furthermore, the Shareholder Representative agrees to carry out such appointment in accordance with the limitations and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(e) Consent is hereby given by the Company Shareholders to the taking of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement. The Shareholder Representative and the Surviving Company (and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives) will have no obligation or liability to any Person (other than a Party to the extent arising hereunder) for any action or omission taken or omitted by the Shareholder Representative in good faith hereunder, except to the extent that it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the acts or omissions of the Shareholder Representative or his, her or its agents involved fraud or a willful misconduct. The Shareholder Representative will have no duties or responsibilities to any Company Shareholder except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on behalf of any Company Shareholder will otherwise exist against the Shareholder Representative. Neither the Shareholder Representative, the Surviving Company (and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives), nor any agent employed by them will be liable to any Company Shareholder, and no Company Shareholder will have any cause of action against the Shareholder Representative, the Surviving Company or any such agents, for any errors in judgment, negligence, oversight, breach of duty or otherwise arising from or relating to any action taken or not taken, decision made or not made or instruction given or not given by the Shareholder Representative. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shareholder Representative will not be liable to any Company Shareholder, in its capacity as such, in the event that the Shareholder Representative declines to take any action in connection with any dispute or potential dispute with the Company, Buyer or the Surviving Company because the Shareholder Representative believes there will not be adequate resources available to cover potential costs and expenses related to any such dispute.

41

(f) The Shareholder Representative: (i) may rely upon and will not be liable to any Company Shareholder for acting upon any resolution, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order or other document believed by the Shareholder Representative to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, (ii) may consult with legal counsel, and any written advice or opinion of its legal counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection against the Company Shareholders in respect of any action taken or not taken by the Shareholder Representative in accordance with such advice or opinion of counsel, and (iii) may exercise any of the rights and powers, or perform any action pursuant to this Section 4.1 either directly or through agents or attorneys.

(g) The Buyer acknowledges, understands and recognizes that the Shareholder Representative has been appointed as the representative of each of the Company Shareholders for any purpose provided for by this Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Buyer will be entitled to rely on any decision, action, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative (or any successor or agent thereof) relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, as being the decision, action, consent or instruction of the Company Shareholders, and the Buyer (and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives) is hereby relieved from any and all Losses to any Company Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates or successors or representatives or any other Person for acts done or omissions made by the Buyer (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and representatives) in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction.

(h) Any actions taken, exercises of rights, power or authority, and any decision or determination made by the Shareholder Representative consistent herewith, shall be absolutely and irrevocably binding on each of the Company Shareholders as if such Company Shareholder personally had taken such action, exercised such rights, power or authority or made such decision or determination in such Company Shareholder’s individual capacity, and no Company Shareholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Any action required to be taken by any Company Shareholder hereunder or any action which such Company Shareholder, at such Person’s election, has the right to take hereunder, shall be taken only by the Shareholder Representatives and no Company Shareholder acting on its, his or her own shall be entitled to take any such action. The Company Shareholders, individually and independently, hereby acknowledge and agree that the Shareholder Representative shall be solely responsible for ensuring that each Company Shareholder receives that portion of any amount(s) to which such Company Shareholder is entitled in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon his, her or its Pro Rata Portion, and that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Company, shall be liable for the allocation of particular deliveries and payments of such amounts by the Shareholder Representative. Without limiting the foregoing, any funds distributed to the Shareholder Representative for the benefit of any or all of the Company Shareholders shall be deemed to have been received by the appropriate Company Shareholder, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Company, shall bear any obligation or responsibility to any Company Shareholder with regard to the obligations of the Shareholder Representative relating to the distribution of such payments or otherwise.

42

(i) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement the provisions of this Section 4.1 shall in no way impose any obligations on Buyer or any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Company. In particular, notwithstanding any express notice received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) in accordance with the notice provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Company, and any Indemnified Party (i) shall be fully protected in relying upon and shall be entitled to rely upon, shall have no liability to any Company Shareholder or any other Person with respect to, actions, decisions and determinations of the Shareholder Representative, (ii) shall be entitled to assume that all actions, decisions and determinations of the Shareholder Representative are fully authorized by each of the Company Shareholders, and (iii) shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Shareholder Representative on all matters relating to the Merger Consideration, including the Estimated Closing Statement and the determination of the adjustments to the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.5.

(j) Notice to the Shareholder Representative will be deemed to be notice to the Company Shareholders for all purposes of this Agreement; and the power and authority of the Shareholder Representative, as described in this Agreement, shall continue in force until all rights and obligations of the Shareholder Representative under this Agreement shall have terminated, expired or been fully performed.

ARTICLE 5.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedules, the Company and, in the case of Section 5.28 only, New Holdco and each Designated Company Shareholder, hereby represents and warrants to Buyer and Merger Sub as follows:

5.1 Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota, and each Company Subsidiary is duly incorporated or organized, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing (or the equivalent thereof with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) under the laws of the state or jurisdiction of its organization, except, in each case, where the failure to be so organized, existing and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay the Company’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party, including the Pre-Closing Transactions. The Company and each Company Subsidiary have all requisite organizational power and authority to own, lease and operate their respective properties and carry on their business as presently owned or conducted, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay the Company’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any

43

Ancillary Agreements to which the Company is a party. The Company and each Company Subsidiary have been qualified, licensed or registered to transact business as a foreign entity and is in good standing (or the equivalent thereof with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of their business requires such qualification, license or registration, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or registered or in good standing (or the equivalent thereof with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay the Company’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party. The Company has made available to the Buyer true, complete and correct copies of the articles of incorporation, or equivalent organizational documents, for the Company and each Company Subsidiary as in effect on the date hereof and except in order to accomplish the Pre-Closing Transactions, no amendments thereto are pending. The minute books for the three (3) years preceding the date of this Agreement (or, if less, from the date of formation) of each of the Company and Company Subsidiaries have been made available to Buyer and are true, complete and correct.

(a) Section 5.15(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules contains a true and complete list, as of the date hereof, of each Company Plan. Each Company Plan identified in Section 5.15(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules that is not a Multiemployer Plan is referred to herein as a “Company Other Plan.”

Each trust established in connection with any Company Other Plan which is intended to be exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code is so exempt, and no fact or event has occurred that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the exempt status of any such trust. No Company Other Plan provides, and neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has any liability or obligation to provide, medical, life, welfare or death benefits with respect to current or former employees, directors or individual service providers of the Company

60

or any Company Subsidiary beyond their termination of employment or service (other than coverage mandated by Section 4980A of the Code (or similar state Law) and with respect to which the participant pays the entire premium). The Company, each ERISA Affiliate, and each Company Other Plan and, to the Knowledge of the Company, each Multiemployer Plan is in compliance, and has complied in all material respects, with the requirements of Section 4980 of the Code and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, and is not subject to an assessable payment under Section 4980B of the Code. For the period of six (6) years prior to the date of this Agreement, there has been no “prohibited transaction” (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) or breach of fiduciary duty (as determined under ERISA) with respect to any Company Other Plan or to the Knowledge of the Company, any Multiemployer Plan.

(d) Section 5.15(d)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedules lists each Company Other Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA, Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code (each, a “Pension Plan”).

61

(f) Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred any withdrawal liability within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan (whether or not asserted by such Multiemployer Plan and whether for a partial or complete withdrawal) that remains unsatisfied. Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has received notice that any Multiemployer Plan has undergone or is expected to undergo a mass withdrawal or termination. All contributions (including installments) required to be made by the Company and its ERISA Affiliates to each Multiemployer Plan as of the date hereof have been timely made and the Company and its ERISA Affiliates are not delinquent in any contributions to any Multiemployer Plan. Except as set forth in Section 5.15(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, to the Knowledge of the Company, no Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization. Except as set forth in Section 5.15(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, to the Knowledge of the Company, no Multiemployer Plan is in “endangered” or “critical” status (within the meaning of Section 305 of ERISA). Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate thereof has incurred any liability (including any indirect, contingent or secondary liability) to or on account of a Company Other Plan or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any Multiemployer Plan pursuant to Section 436(f) of the Code, or to or on account of a Multiemployer Plan pursuant to Sections 515, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA or expects to incur any such liability under any of the foregoing sections with respect to any Multiemployer Plan. No lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate exists or to the Knowledge of the Company is likely to arise on account of any Multiemployer Plan (other than current obligations for contributions to such Company Plans and routine claims for benefits thereunder that are not delinquent). Assuming compliance in all respects with the requirements of Section 4203(b)(1) of ERISA, then, using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with Part 1 of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the Company and its ERISA Affiliates would not incur any liabilities with respect to any Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete or partial withdrawal therefrom.

(g) With respect to any Company Other Plan, no Actions (other than routine claims for benefits in the ordinary course or routine qualification determination filings) are pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, in each case, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries.

(j) No Company Other Plan is a voluntary employee benefit association under Section 501(a)(9) of the Code. Except as set forth in Section 5.15(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, none of the Company, any Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has at any time maintained, established, sponsored, participated in or contributed to, and no Company Other Plan is, a self-insured plan that provides medical, dental or any other similar employee benefits to employees (including any such plan pursuant to which a stop-loss policy or Contract applies).

The execution of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all required corporate action on the part of Buyer and Merger Sub and no other proceedings on the part of Buyer or Merger Sub are required to authorize this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation by such party of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

6.6 Sufficient Funds. Buyer and Merger Sub will have available to them at the Effective Time, sufficient funds to perform all of their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the payment of the Estimated Merger Consideration, the other amounts to be paid by the Buyer at the Closing pursuant to Section 3.3 and all of the Buyer’s fees and expenses in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.7 Financing Commitments.

(a) Buyer has delivered to the Company a true and complete copy of (i) the executed debt financing commitment letter with the Debt Financing Sources party thereto and any fee letters with the Debt Financing Sources party thereto associated therewith; provided that provisions in the fee letter have been redacted with respect to fees, other economic terms and “market flex” items in a customary manner; provided, further, that none of such redacted provisions impose or permit additional conditions (or the expansion of any existing conditions) on the availability of the Debt Financing at the Closing (such commitment letter, as it may be modified or amended in accordance with the terms hereof, the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with all exhibits, schedules, annexes and amendments thereto and each such fee letter, as they may be modified or amended in accordance with the terms hereof, collectively, the “Financing Commitments”), pursuant to which the Debt Financing Sources party thereto have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide or cause to be provided the amounts as set forth therein for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Interim Debt Financing”). The terms of the Debt Commitment Letter have not been amended or modified, no such amendment or modification is contemplated (other than to add or replace lenders, financial institutions, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other

74

similar entities in a manner contemplated by the Financing Commitments), and the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitments have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. Except for the fee letters referred to above and customary engagement letters and fee credit letters with respect to the Interim Debt Financing (none of which reduces the amount of the Interim Debt Financing below the Required Amounts (as defined below) or adversely affects the conditionality, enforceability, termination or availability of the Interim Debt Financing), as of the date hereof, there are no side letters or contracts or other arrangements to which Buyer or Merger Sub is a party that impose conditions to, adversely affect the availability of or modify, amend or expand the conditions to the funding of the Interim Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments delivered to the Company on or prior to the date hereof. As of the date hereof, Buyer has fully paid any and all commitment or other fees in connection with the Financing Commitments that are required to be paid on or prior to the date hereof and Buyer will continue to pay in full any such amounts required to be paid as and when they become due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Financing Commitments and this Agreement, assuming the Interim Debt Financing is consummated in accordance with the terms of the Financing Commitments and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 8, the aggregate proceeds to be disbursed to Buyer or Merger Sub pursuant to the Financing Commitments will be sufficient for Buyer and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and to pay all related fees and expenses associated therewith incurred or otherwise payable by Buyer (the “Required Amounts”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Debt Financing Sources” means the entities that have committed to provide the Interim Debt Financing or any and all replacement financings or other debt financings in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (“Other Debt Financing” and, together with the Interim Debt Financing, the “Debt Financing”) (including the parties to the Debt Commitment Letter and any agreements or credit agreements related thereto) or who have otherwise entered into agreements in connection with the foregoing (including, without limitation, each arranger and agent) and their respective Affiliates and such entities’ and their respective Affiliates’ Representatives involved in the Debt Financing and their successors and permitted assigns.

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, the Financing Commitments are in full force and effect and are the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer or Merger Sub and, to the Knowledge of Buyer, the other parties thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability is subject to the Equitable Exceptions. Assuming that the conditions set forth in Article 8 are satisfied at the Closing, as of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach or default under the Financing Commitments by Buyer or Merger Sub. As of the date of this Agreement, Buyer has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to result in (i) any of the conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments not being satisfied on a timely basis or (ii) the Interim Debt Financing not being made available to Buyer on a timely basis in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Financing Commitments have been amended or modified and the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitments have not been withdrawn, modified or rescinded in any respect.

the Company, the Shareholder Representative or any other Person (including any officer, director, employee, or shareholder of the Company or the Shareholder Representative) shall have or be subject to any liability (whether in contract or tort, under applicable securities Laws or otherwise) to the Buyer, Merger Sub or any other Person, based upon any information, documents or materials made available to the Buyer or Merger Sub or resulting from the use by the Buyer or Merger Sub of any information, documents or material made available to the Buyer or Merger Sub, in each case in any “data rooms,” management presentations, due diligence or in any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledges that, should the Closing occur, the Buyer shall acquire the Company and the Company Subsidiaries without any representation or warranty as to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of their respective assets, in an “as is” condition and on a “where is” basis, except for any Contractual Representation; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.11 is intended to limit or modify any Contractual Representation with respect to which the Company acknowledges Buyer and Merger Sub are relying on in executing and delivering this Agreement. Each of the Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledges that, except for any Contractual Representation, (a) neither the Company, the Shareholder Representative nor any other Person has made, and the Buyer and Merger Sub have not relied on, any other express or implied representation or warranty by or on behalf of the Company, the Shareholder Representative, including any implied representation or warranty as to value, condition, capacity, merchantability, environmental condition or suitability and (b) each of the Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledges that none of the Company, the Shareholder Representative, nor any other Person, directly or indirectly, has made, and the Buyer and Merger Sub have not relied on, any representation or warranty regarding the pro-forma financial information, budgets, estimates, projections, business plans, forecasts or other forward-looking statements of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such information, budgets, estimates, projections, business plans, forecasts or forward-looking statements), and neither the Buyer nor Merger Sub will make or have any claim with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.11 shall not (and shall not be deemed to) limit any claim based on Fraud.

Each of the Buyer and Merger Sub is entering into the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution of any Company Common Stock in violation of applicable federal, state or provincial securities Laws. Each of the Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledges that the sale of the Company Common Stock hereunder has not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities Laws, and that the Company Common Stock may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws or in a transaction not subject thereto. Each of the Buyer and Merger Sub represents that it is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

The Stock Consideration will not be issued in violation of and will not be subject to any preemptive rights, resale rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights. None of the SEC or other securities regulatory authority or stock exchange has issued any order that is currently outstanding preventing or suspending trading in any securities of Buyer, and no such proceeding is, to the Knowledge of Buyer, pending or threatened, and Buyer is not in default of any material requirement of any applicable securities Laws.

6.16 Buyer SEC Reports. Buyer has filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents (collectively, and including all exhibits, the “Buyer SEC Reports”) required to be filed by Buyer with the SEC for the past three (3) years.

During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 10, if the Shareholder Representative, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives receives any inquiry or proposal with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal, then the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after the Shareholder Representative or the Company becomes aware of such inquiry or proposal) advise the Buyer orally and in writing of such inquiry or proposal (including the identity of the Person making such inquiry or submitting such proposal, and the terms thereof) and shall not respond to any such inquiry or proposal (except to advise such Person that a prospective purchaser has been granted an exclusive right to negotiate concerning an acquisition of the Company, without identifying the Buyer or its Affiliates).

(c) The Company represents and warrants to Buyer that the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates are not party to or bound by any agreement relating to the sale of the equity interests of the Company or all or substantially all the assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries other than non-disclosure agreements entered into prior to the date of this Agreement with other prospective third parties.

7.6 Financing.

(a) Financing.

(i) Each of Buyer and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to keep available the Interim Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitments (and in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, taking into account any “market flex” provisions) and, prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of the Company, shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements with respect thereto, if such amendment, modification or waiver would (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Interim Debt Financing below the amount necessary to fund the Required Amounts (after taking into account the amount of Other Debt Financing) or (B) impose new or additional conditions (or otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions) to the receipt of the Debt Financing or

89

other terms, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (x) prevent or materially delay or impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (y) in any material respect, make the funding of the Debt Financing (or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining any of the Debt Financing) less likely to occur or otherwise adversely impact the ability of Buyer or Merger Sub (as applicable) to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Commitments or to draw upon and consummate the Debt Financing. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.6(a)(i) and in the Debt Commitment Letter, Buyer and Merger Sub may amend the Debt Commitment Letter to add or replace lenders, financial institutions, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other similar entities. Any reference in this Agreement to (1) “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments as amended or modified in compliance with this Section 7.6(a)(i) and (2) “Financing Commitments” or “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include such documents as amended or modified in compliance with this Section 7.6(a)(i).

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.6, each of Buyer and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) maintain in effect and satisfy on a timely basis all terms, covenants and conditions (unless waived pursuant to the terms thereof) set forth in the Financing Commitments, (B) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Interim Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions (including any “market flex” provisions) contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (or on terms not materially less favorable, in the aggregate with respect to conditionality, to Buyer or Merger Sub than the terms and conditions (including the “market flex” provisions) in the Debt Commitment Letter) that are acceptable to Buyer and Merger Sub and would not adversely affect the ability of Buyer or Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated herein; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the documentation relating to the Interim Debt Financing shall not be required until reasonably necessary in connection with the funding of the Required Amounts, (C) satisfy all conditions (unless waived pursuant to the terms thereof) to such definitive agreements on a timely basis, and (D) enforce its rights under the Financing Commitments, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Financing Commitments. To the extent reasonably requested by the Company from time to time and subject to the last sentence of this Section 7.6(a)(ii), Buyer and Merger Sub shall provide the Company with the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Merger Sub shall notify the Company promptly, and in any event within two business days after it becomes aware thereof, (x) of any breach or default by any party to any Financing Commitment or definitive document related to the Debt Financing of which Buyer or Merger Sub become aware, (y) of the receipt by Buyer or Merger Sub of any written notice or communication (other than negotiations of the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing) from any Debt Financing Source with respect to any actual material and adverse breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitments or definitive documents

90

related to the Debt Financing or any dispute or disagreement between or among any parties thereto that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impact the ability of Buyer or Merger Sub to obtain all or any part of the Interim Debt Financing necessary to pay the Required Amounts (after taking into account the amount of Other Debt Financing) on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Financing Commitments, or (z) if Buyer or Merger Sub expects that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Financing Commitments or the definitive documents related to the Debt Financing; provided that in no event shall Buyer or Merger Sub be required to (I) breach any of the Financing Commitments or (II) disclose any information that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege if Buyer or Merger Sub (as applicable) shall have used its reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.6, if any portion of the Interim Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (except as therein provided) or the Debt Commitment Letter shall be terminated or modified in a manner that would have a materially adverse impact on Buyer or Merger Sub obtaining the Debt Financing, (A) Buyer shall promptly notify the Company in writing and (B) each of Buyer and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from the same or alternative sources (w) on terms and conditions no less favorable, in any material respect, solely with respect to conditionality, to Buyer and Merger Sub than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter, (x) with no conditions to funding the Debt Financing that are not contained in the Debt Commitment Letter, (y) that would not reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the Debt Financing or such alternative financing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (z) in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Debt Financing that is available, to pay in cash the Required Amounts (the “Alternate Debt Financing”), and to obtain a new financing commitment letter with respect to such Alternate Debt Financing (the “New Debt Commitment Letter”), which shall replace the existing Debt Commitment Letter, a copy of which shall be promptly provided to the Company. In the event any New Debt Commitment Letter is obtained, (i) any reference in this Agreement to the “Interim Debt Financing” shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as modified pursuant to clause (ii) below, (ii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing Commitment” or the “Debt Commitment Letters” shall be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letters that are not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter at the time in question and the New Debt Commitment Letter to the extent then in effect and (iii) Buyer and Merger Sub shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 7.6 to the extent that, prior to obtaining such new Debt Commitment Letter, Buyer or Merger Sub was in breach of this Section 7.6, in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, any such breach shall for all purposes be deemed to have been retroactively waived by the Company but only to the extent that such prior breach has been cured by the New Debt Commitment Letter.

91

(c) In connection with the Debt Financing, from the date hereof until the Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to provide, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to use its reasonable commercial efforts to provide, reasonable cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or Merger Sub and that is necessary or customary in connection with Buyer’s and Merger Sub’s efforts to obtain the Debt Financing (provided, that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company), including reasonable commercial efforts to: (i) upon reasonable prior notice, participate in a reasonable number of meetings, conference calls, presentations and roadshows with prospective lenders and investors, due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence sessions), drafting sessions and sessions with the rating agencies, otherwise provide reasonable cooperation with the marketing efforts for any of the Debt Financing and assist Buyer in obtaining ratings as contemplated by the Financing Commitments; (ii) reasonably assist Buyer, Merger Sub and the Debt Financing Sources in the preparation of pertinent information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries related to or for use in any offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information, lender presentation, rating agency presentations and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that any such document that includes disclosure and financial statements with respect to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries shall only reflect Buyer, Merger Sub, other subsidiaries of Buyer and other Affiliates of Buyer contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, the Surviving Company and/or its Subsidiaries as obligor(s); (iii) provide customary authorization letters to the Debt Financing Sources (including customary representations with respect to accuracy of information contained in the disclosure and material non-public information) for inclusion in any bank information or materials that authorize the distribution of information to be distributed to prospective lenders or investors; (iv) assist with the pledging of collateral by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (including the execution and delivery by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries of customary pledge and security documents); provided that any such pledge or other encumbrances shall be authorized and only become effective at, or as of, the Closing; (v) request and facilitate its independent auditors to (A) provide, consistent with customary practice such accountant’s customary comfort letters (including “negative assurance” comfort and change period comfort) and reports as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or Merger Sub with respect to financial information relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the consent of such auditors to the use of their reports in any materials relating to the Debt Financing and (B) attend accounting due diligence sessions and drafting sessions required pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 7.6(c); (vi) facilitate the execution and delivery of definitive financing documents, customary perfection certificates and other certificates (including a customary solvency certificate), legal opinions of counsel or other documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, Merger Sub or Debt Financing Sources, in each case, with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries; provided that no obligation of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries under any document, agreement or pledge shall be effective until the Closing; (vii) request consents, surveys and title insurance as reasonably requested by Buyer or Merger Sub; (viii) request customary payoff letters relating to the repayment of any existing Indebtedness to be repaid concurrently with the Closing and/or the termination of any third party liens securing such Indebtedness and, at the request of Buyer, (A) deliver notices of prepayment (which may be delivered at Buyer’s request in advance of the Closing Date so long as they are contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing and do not materially adversely affect the ability of the Company or any Company Subsidiary

92

to access to credit required to conduct operations in accordance with historical practice) within the time periods reasonably requested by Buyer and take any actions at or prior to the Effective Time reasonably requested by Buyer to facilitate the prepayment of all outstanding amounts under any credit facilities or other financing arrangements of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (it being understood and agreed that any prepayment is (and shall be) contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing and no actions shall be required which would obligate the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to complete such prepayment prior to the occurrence of the Closing), (B) arrange for customary payoff letters, lien terminations and releases and instruments and acknowledgements of discharge in respect of any such credit facilities or other financing arrangements to be delivered to Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date (with drafts to be delivered in advance as reasonably requested by Buyer), and (C) take all other reasonable actions to facilitate the payoff, discharge and termination in full at the Closing of all amounts outstanding under any such credit facilities or other financing arrangements; (ix) provide Buyer, Merger Sub and the Debt Financing Sources with customary documentation and other information with respect to the Company and Company Subsidiaries at least five business days prior to the Closing Date as shall have been reasonably requested in writing by Buyer or Merger Sub at least ten business days prior to the Closing Date, that is required in connection with the Debt Financing by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and the beneficial ownership regulation, and that are required by the Debt Commitment Letter; (x) reasonably cooperate with the Debt Financing Sources’ “due diligence” investigation with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing for which it is not reimbursed by Buyer; (xi) (A) exercise reasonable commercial effort to obtain and, as soon as reasonably available, furnish Buyer with the Required Financing Information and such other pertinent and customary information regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to the extent that such information is required in connection with the Financing Commitments or any Other Debt Financing and (B) as promptly as practicable, inform Buyer if the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, treasurer or controller of the Company or any member of the Company’s board of directors shall have actual knowledge of any facts as a result of which a restatement of any financial statements to comply with U.S. GAAP is probable or under active consideration; and (xii) exercise reasonable commercial efforts to furnish to Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources (A) as soon as available and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of any fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 and each succeeding fiscal quarter thereafter that is not a fiscal year end, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such quarter and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income or operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for such fiscal quarter and for the elapsed interim period following the last completed fiscal year and for the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year and (B) within ninety (90) days after the end of any fiscal year, with respect to fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and thereafter, the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such fiscal year and the related audited consolidated statements of income or operations, shareholders’ equity

93

and cash flows. The Company hereby consents to the use of (A) the financial statements referred to in the preceding clause (xii) and the Required Financing Information and (B) its and the Company Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. The Company will use its reasonable commercial efforts, and will cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to use its respective reasonable commercial efforts, to update any financial statements and other financial information provided to Buyer or the Debt Financing Sources as may be necessary so that such financial statements and other financial information (i) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or omit to state any material fact regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries necessary in order to make such financial statements and other financial information not misleading under the circumstances and (ii) are sufficient to permit the Company’s independent accountants to issue customary comfort letters (including “negative assurance” comfort and change period comfort) to the Debt Financing Sources to the extent required as part of the Debt Financing. “Required Financing Information” means to the extent related to the fiscal year of the Company ended December 31, 2018 and thereafter: (i) all financial statements, financial data, audit reports and other information regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries of the type that would be required by Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC for a registered public offering of non-convertible debt securities on a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of the Company to consummate the offering(s) of debt securities contemplated by the Financing Commitments or any Other Debt Financing, assuming that such offering(s) were consummated at the same time during the Company’s fiscal year as such offering(s) of debt securities will be made (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020) (the “Financing Financial Statements”); provided, however, that the “Financing Financial Statements” shall exclude all interim unaudited financial statements of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; and (ii) (A) such other financial and other information regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, including, for the avoidance of doubt, capital expenditures and EBITDA, as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to the extent that such information is (A) required in connection with the Financing Commitments or any Other Debt Financing; or (B) otherwise necessary to receive from the Company’s independent accountants (and any other accountant (other than Buyer’s accountants) to the extent that financial statements audited by such accountants are or would be included in an offering document), customary “comfort” (including “negative assurance” comfort and change period comfort), together with drafts of customary comfort letters that such independent public accountants are prepared to deliver upon the “pricing” of any debt securities being issued in any Other Debt Financing, with respect to the financial information to be included in such offering document; provided, however, that “Required Financing Information” shall not include any Excluded Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.6(c), nothing will require the Company to provide (or be deemed to require the Company to prepare) any (1) pro forma financial statements; (2) information regarding any post-Closing or pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization, ownership or other post-Closing pro forma adjustments desired to be

94

incorporated into any information used in connection with the Debt Financing; (3) description of all or any portion of the Debt Financing, including any “description of notes”; (4) risk factors relating to all or any component of the Debt Financing; (5) other information required by the Securities Act or any other information customarily excluded from an offering memorandum for private placements of non-convertible debt securities under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act; and (6) confidential or proprietary information of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that historically has been reflected as supplemental information in the consolidated financial statements of the Company to the extent the same is not required by U.S. GAAP or to be presented in a registered public offering of non-convertible debt securities on a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act (i.e., completed contract information with contract-level detail that identifies owner and project-level financial metrics including the corresponding contracts-in-progress detail that has historically comprised a component of the interim and annual audited financial statements of the Company and Company Subsidiaries (clauses (1) through (6), the “Excluded Information”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Financing Financial Statements shall not be Excluded Information.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.6(c) to the contrary, (i) such requested cooperation shall not unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the business or the operations of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, (ii) nothing in this Section 7.6 shall require cooperation to the extent that it would (A) subject any of the Company’s or Company Subsidiaries’ respective directors, managers, officers or employees to any actual or potential personal liability (as opposed to liability in his or her capacity as a director, manager or officer of such Person) with respect to matters related to the Debt Financing, (B) conflict with, or violate, the Company’s and/or any Company Subsidiaries’ organizational documents or any applicable Law, (C) cause any condition to the Closing set forth in Article 8 to not be satisfied or (D) cause any breach of this Agreement, (iii) prior to the Effective Time, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur or assume any liability or other obligation in connection with the financings contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters, the definitive financing agreements for the Debt Financing or be required to take any action that would subject it to actual or potential liability, to bear any cost or expense or to make any other payment or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Debt Commitment Letters, the definitive financing agreements for the Debt Financing or any information utilized in connection therewith, in each case, that would not be reimbursed or indemnified by Buyer or Merger Sub, (iv) with respect to the Debt Financing, none of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective directors, officers or employees shall be required to deliver or obtain opinions of internal or external counsel, execute, deliver or enter into, or perform any agreement, document or instrument, including any definitive financing agreement for the Debt Financing (other than customary representation letters and authorization letters referred to above and as otherwise contemplated by this Section 7.6), that, in each case, is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Effective Time and none of the directors and officers of the Company or Company’s Subsidiaries shall be required to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained prior to the Effective Time unless Buyer and Merger Sub shall have determined that such director(s) or officer(s), as applicable, are to remain as a director or

95

officer of the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries on and after the Effective Time and such resolutions are contingent upon the occurrence of, or only effective as of, the Effective Time and (v) Buyer, Merger Sub and the Company agree to use their reasonable best efforts to maintain attorney-client privilege. The Parties agree that Buyer’s or Merger Sub’s execution of a New Debt Commitment Letter shall not materially expand the scope of the assistance required under Section 7.6(c) as compared to the assistance that would be required or expected to be required in connection with the Debt Commitment Letter in effect on the date of this Agreement and the related Debt Financing.

(e) Buyer shall, (a) promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or any Company Subsidiary in connection with the cooperation of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries contemplated by this Section 7.6, and (b) indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and advisors from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the cooperation of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries contemplated by this Section 7.6 (other than arising from Fraud or Willful Breach on the part of the Company or any of its Affiliates).

7.7 Further Assurances. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 10, each of the Parties shall execute such documents and perform such further acts as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and the actions contemplated hereby. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 7.4, each Party shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, use its reasonable best efforts to fulfill or obtain the fulfillment of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the execution and delivery of any documents, certificates, instruments or other papers that are reasonably required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.8 Officer and Director Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) The Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the Closing Date, an officer, director, advisory board member, member of any committee, fiduciary of any Company Plan or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), set forth in the Company Charter (or equivalent organizational documents of the Company Subsidiaries) or as provided pursuant to section 302A.521 of the MBCA and any comparable provision of the MRLLCA that will become effective upon the Conversion, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, in each case subject to applicable Laws.

96

(b) Each of the Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledges that the Indemnified Parties may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by other Persons. Each of the Buyer and Merger Sub hereby (on its own behalf and, as of the Closing, on behalf of the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) agrees that (i) the Surviving Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Surviving Company is the indemnitor of first resort ( i.e., its obligations to the Indemnified Parties are primary and any obligation of such other Persons to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any such Indemnified Party are secondary), (ii) the Surviving Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Surviving Company shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any such Indemnified Party and shall be liable for the full indemnifiable amounts, without regard to any rights any such Indemnified Party may have against any such other Person and (iii) each of the Buyer and Merger Sub irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases (on its own behalf and, as of the Closing, on behalf of the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) such other Persons from any and all claims against any such other Persons for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. Each of the Buyer and Merger Sub (on its own behalf and, as of the Closing, on behalf of the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) further agrees that no advancement or payment by any of such other Persons on behalf of any such Indemnified Party with respect to any claim for which such Indemnified Party has sought indemnification from the Buyer, the Surviving Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Surviving Company shall affect the foregoing and such other Persons shall have a right of contribution or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Party against the Buyer.

(c) On the Closing Date, the Surviving Company shall pay for a non-cancelable run-off insurance policy (the “D&O Policy”), for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date to provide insurance coverage of not less than the existing coverage, for events, acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date for all persons who were directors, managers or officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or fiduciaries of the Company Plans on or prior to the Closing Date, which policy shall (i) contain terms and conditions no less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’, managers’ or officers’ liability coverage presently maintained by the Company and (ii) be purchased from an insurance broker reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer.

(d) The covenants contained in this Section 7.8 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to law, contract or otherwise.

(e) In the event that the Buyer or the Surviving Company (following the Closing) or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the Buyer shall take all necessary action so that the successors or assigns of the Buyer or the Surviving Company (following the Closing), as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.8.

97

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 7.8 shall not (i) extend to or otherwise limit any rights of Buyer or the Surviving Company with respect to any actions constituting fraud or willful misconduct of any such Indemnified Party or as a defense to any demand from any such Indemnified Party for indemnification contemplated by this Section 7.8 and (ii) affect or otherwise prejudice any of the Buyer’s rights and remedies arising from this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.8(f) shall apply solely to claims by an Indemnified Party for indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation contemplated by this Section 7.8 and shall not be construed to apply to any other provisions of this Agreement, including expanding the definition of Fraud or the limitations thereto set forth herein.

7.9 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation. Recognizing that Moss & Barnett has acted as legal counsel to certain of the Company Shareholders, the Shareholder Representative and their respective Affiliates, and has acted as legal counsel to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, and that Moss & Barnett intend to act as legal counsel to certain of the Company Shareholders, the Shareholder Representative and their respective Affiliates (including New Holdco) after the Closing, (i) each of the Buyer and Merger Sub (on its own behalf and, as of the Closing, on behalf of the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) hereby waives any conflicts that may arise in connection with Moss & Barnett representing the Company Shareholders, the Shareholder Representative and their respective Affiliates after the Closing (including New Holdco), and (ii) each of the Buyer and Merger Sub (on its own behalf and, as of the Closing, on behalf of the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises between or among the Buyer or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) and the Company Shareholders, the Shareholder Representative or their respective Affiliates (including, prior to the Closing, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and after the Closing, New Holdco), Moss & Barnett may represent the Company Shareholders, the Shareholder Representative or any of their respective Affiliates (including New Holdco) in such dispute even though the interests of the Company Shareholders, the Shareholder Representative or such Affiliate (including New Holdco) may be directly adverse to the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company and any Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) and even though Moss & Barnett may have represented the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute, each of the Buyer and Merger Sub (on its own behalf and, as of the Closing, on behalf of the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company), and on behalf of each of their respective Affiliates, hereby waives any conflict of interest in connection with such representation by Moss & Barnett. Each of the Buyer and Merger Sub (on its own behalf and, as of the Closing, on behalf of the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) further agrees that, as to all communications among Moss & Barnett, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or New Holdco that relate in any way to the negotiations of this Agreement or otherwise relate to the Merger, any potential sale of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated hereby, the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence and all other rights to any evidentiary privilege belong to the Company Shareholders and the Shareholder Representative and may be controlled by the Company Shareholders and the Shareholder Representative and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Buyer, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Buyer, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, on the one hand,

98

and a third party other than the Shareholder Representative or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, after the Closing, such Person may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Moss & Barnett to such third party; provided, however, that, if such dispute may involve the Company Shareholders or the Shareholder Representative, neither the Buyer nor the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company and any Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative. The Parties agree to take to take, all steps reasonably necessary to implement the intent of this Section 7.9. Each of the Buyer and Merger Sub (on its own behalf and, as of the Closing, on behalf of the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Company’s counsel. This Section 7.9 is for the benefit of the Company Shareholder’s, the Shareholder Representative and their respective Affiliates, and Moss & Barnett (including its shareholders and employees), each of which are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.9.

7.10 R&W Insurance Policy. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, other than in the case of Fraud, (a) neither the Shareholder Representative, any of the Designated Company Shareholders nor any of the Shareholders’ Related Parties shall be liable to the insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy for subrogation claims pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy, and (b) the R&W Insurance Policy include a waiver of subrogation against New Holdco, the Shareholder Representative, each Designated Company Shareholder and the Shareholders’ Related Parties and will not be amended or modified to alter the waiver of such subrogation provisions (other than in the case of Fraud) in any way detrimental to New Holdco, Designated Company Shareholders, the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders’ Related Parties, except with the Shareholder Representative’s written consent.

7.11 Tax Matters.

(a) Unless required by applicable Law, the Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative, not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, (i) make, or cause or permit to be made, any material Tax election, adopt or change any material method of accounting, or change any material Tax practice or procedure for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) amend any Tax Return or file any claim for refund or credit of any Tax of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (iii) file any Tax Return of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or voluntary disclosure agreement of the company or any Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period in a jurisdiction where the Company or any Company Subsidiary does not presently file Tax Returns in each case under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) that would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Company Shareholders as a result of any such action; provided, however that if Buyer, the Surviving Company or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Company determine that such an amendment or filing is required by applicable Law. Buyer shall notify the Shareholder Representative in writing of such determination at least thirty (30) days prior to filing, and if the Shareholder Representative disputes such determination by written notice to Buyer within twenty (20) days after its receipt of Buyer’s notice, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent

99

Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant in resolving disputes pursuant to this Section 7.11(a) shall be borne equally by the Shareholder Representative, on the one hand, and the Buyer on the other. If any dispute related to any proposed action described in this Section 7.11(a) affects the filing of a Tax Return where such dispute is not resolved prior to the due date of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed in the manner in which the Buyer deems such Tax Return to be correct, without prejudice to the rights of the Shareholder Representative, and such Tax Return shall be amended, or such other corrective action taken to the extent necessary to conform to the final dispute resolution; provided, further, that if the Shareholder Representative does not object in writing within twenty (20) days of its receipt of such notice, the Shareholder Representative will be deemed to have agreed with Buyer’s determination. If Buyer or any of its Affiliates takes any action in violation of this Section 7.11(a), then Buyer, the Surviving Company and the Subsidiaries of the Surviving Company, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders’ Related Parties with respect to any additional Taxes and other Losses that became payable as a result of such action and that would not have been incurred by the Shareholder Representative or any such Shareholders’ Related Parties absent such action.

(b) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns for any Straddle Period that are due after the Closing Date (“Straddle Period Tax Return”). Such Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall be prepared in accordance with the past custom and practice of the Company or Company Subsidiary in preparing its Tax Returns except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Buyer shall permit the Shareholder Representative to review and comment on each income Tax Return (or portion thereof related to any Pre-Closing Tax Period) described in this Section 7.11(b) and shall provide the Shareholder Representative with copies of completed drafts of such Tax Returns (or such portion thereof) at least twenty (20) days prior to filing for the Shareholder Representative’s review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided, that, if the Shareholder Representative does not object in writing within ten (10) days of its receipt of such notice, the Shareholder Representative will be deemed to have agreed with such Tax Return. Any dispute with respect to any such Tax Return shall be resolved in the manner set forth in Section 7.11(a), including the respective obligation of indemnity set forth therein.

Such Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall be prepared in accordance with the past custom and practice of the Company or Company Subsidiary in preparing its Tax Returns except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(d) With respect to Taxes of the Company and Company Subsidiaries relating to a Straddle Period for purposes of determining the amount of Accrued Taxes, the portion of any Tax that is allocable to the taxable period that is deemed to end on the Closing Date will be: (i) in the case of Property Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the

100

entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days of such Straddle Period in the Pre-Closing Tax Period 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, determined as though the taxable year of the Company terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date

(e) If, subsequent to the Closing, Buyer, the Surviving Company, any Subsidiary of the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates receives notice of a claim by any Governmental Authority that, if successful, would reasonably be expected to result in a material increase in income Taxes payable by any of the Shareholders’ Related Parties with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (herein a “Pre-Closing Tax Matter”), then promptly after receipt of such notice, Buyer, the Surviving Company, such Subsidiary of the Surviving Company or their respective Affiliate(s), as the case may be, shall give written notice of such Pre-Closing Tax Matter to the Shareholder Representative. Buyer shall be entitled to control the conduct and resolution of such Pre-Closing Tax Matter, provided, that, (a) Buyer shall keep the Shareholder Representative informed of all material developments and events related to such Pre-Closing Tax Matter, (b) Buyer shall provide the Shareholder Representative copies of all correspondence, notices and other written material received from any Governmental Authority with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Matter and shall otherwise keep the Shareholder Representative apprised of substantive developments with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Matter, (c) Buyer shall provide the Shareholder Representative with a copy of, and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, all submissions to be made to any Governmental Authority in connection with such Pre-Closing Tax Matter, (d) the Shareholder Representative shall be entitled to designate a representative to attend any meeting with the relevant Governmental Authority, and (e) Buyer shall not resolve such Pre-Closing Tax Matter without the Shareholder Representative’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Each of Buyer and the Company shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date.

(g) The Estimated Merger Consideration (plus Assumed Indebtedness and other amounts, to the extent properly taken into account under the Code), shall be allocated among the assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate) (the “Allocation”). The Allocation shall be delivered by the Shareholder Representative to Buyer within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date for Buyer’s review and comment. The Shareholder Representative and Buyer shall work together in good faith to attempt to resolve any disputes relating to the Allocation. The proposed allocation methodology is set forth on Section 7.11(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedules.

101

7.12 Employee Matters.

(a) Buyer agrees that the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries at the Effective Time who continue to remain employed with Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries) (the “Continuing Employees” which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Designated Company Shareholders) shall, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time, be provided with (i) a base salary or base wage and target annual cash bonus opportunity that are no less favorable than the base salary or base wage provided by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding, for clarity, amounts contributed to the Company NQRP), and (ii) defined contribution retirement benefits, health benefits, welfare benefits and annual cash bonus eligibility (excluding, for clarity, other incentive opportunities, severance, equity and equity-based awards (including such awards and interests under the Company LTGP), defined benefit pension, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements (including the Company NQRP), multiemployer pension and post-employment health or welfare benefits) that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the defined contribution retirement benefits, health benefits, welfare benefits and annual cash bonus eligibility provided either (x) by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time or (y) by Buyer and its Subsidiaries to its similarly situated employees from time to time.

(b) To the extent any Continuing Employee participates in any employee benefit plan of Buyer or its Affiliates (a “Buyer Benefit Plan”) following the Closing, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any Buyer Benefit Plan that is a group health plan to be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents (except to the extent that such pre-existing condition or limitation or eligibility waiting period applied to the Continuing Employees under corresponding Company Plans prior to the Closing), (ii) give each Continuing Employee credit under any Buyer Benefit Plan that is a group health plan for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs towards applicable deductibles and annual out-of-pocket limits for medical expenses incurred prior to the Effective Time for which payment has been made (to the same extent as such credit would have been given under comparable Company Plans prior to the Closing) and (iii) give each Continuing Employee service credit for such Continuing Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for purposes of vesting, benefit accrual and eligibility to participate under each applicable Buyer Benefit Plan, as if such service had been performed with Buyer, except for benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans, for purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits, for purposes of vesting of equity or equity-based incentives or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits.

102

(c) If the Effective Time occurs prior to the payment of the bonuses in respect of calendar year 2021 (the “2021 Bonuses”), Buyer agrees to, and agrees to cause the Surviving Company to, pay to Continuing Employees the 2021 Bonuses based on the achievement of performance targets determined by the Company, in good faith, and in the ordinary course of business consistent in all material respects with past practice (“2021 Annual Bonus Targets”); provided, however, that (i) such determination by the Surviving Company shall be without giving effect to the Merger and actions taken by Buyer in connection therewith that affect the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, (ii) the Surviving Company shall take into consideration in its reasonable and good faith determination of the actual achievement of the 2021 Annual Bonus Targets for each Continuing Employee, the actual operating performance and financial results of the Company generally and, subjectively, the demonstrated excellence, exceptional commitment and accomplishments of the respective Continuing Employee, and (iii) such payments are subject to and conditioned upon each such Continuing Employee’s continued employment with Buyer or its Subsidiaries through the applicable payment date (to the extent such condition applies to the eligibility thereunder as of the effective date of this Agreement); provided, however, that any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated without “cause” after the Closing but prior to the payment of the 2021 Bonuses will, subject to and conditioned upon his or her timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in a form prescribed by Buyer, be entitled to receive the 2021 Bonus applicable to such Continuing Employee, such 2021 Bonus to be payable when bonuses are normally paid by the Company or such Company Subsidiary (or, if later, after such release of claims becomes effective and irrevocable).

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be construed so as to, (i) prevent or restrict in any way the right of the Buyer to terminate reassign, promote or demote any employees or other service provider (or to cause any of the foregoing actions) at any time following the Closing, or to change (or cause the change of) the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment or service of any such employees or other service providers at any time following the Closing; (ii) constitute an amendment or modification of any Benefit Plan, Company Plan, Buyer Benefit Plan or employee benefit plan; or (iii) create any third party rights in any current or former employee or other service provider (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof); or (iv) obligate the Buyer or any of its Affiliates to adopt or maintain any particular plan or program or other compensatory or benefits arrangement at any time or prevent the Buyer or any of its Affiliates from modifying or terminating any such plan, program or other compensatory or benefits arrangement at any time.

7.13 Specified Litigation.

(a) Following the Closing, Buyer agrees to cause the Surviving Company or its applicable Subsidiary, at the cost and expense of the Surviving Company or its applicable Subsidiary (but subject to recovery of such amounts as provided below) to use reasonable best efforts to pursue and resolve the Specified Litigation by using competent counsel. The Buyer shall cause the Surviving Company or any applicable Subsidiary that is party to Specified Litigation to keep the Shareholder Representative reasonably informed with

103

respect to the Specified Litigation and the progression thereof. The Buyer shall not permit the Surviving Company nor such Subsidiary, party to such Action, to settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise such Action without the written consent of the Shareholder Representative, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, such consent shall not be required if the failure to settle, compromise or resolve such Action could (i) based on the advice of competent outside legal counsel, result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree which would or could restrict the future activities or conduct of the Surviving Company or such applicable Company Subsidiary in any material respect or (ii) have a materially negative impact on the operations or reputation of the Surviving Company, its Subsidiaries, the Buyer or any of its Affiliates. If requested by the Surviving Company or such Subsidiary, the Shareholder Representative shall cooperate with the Buyer, the Surviving Company, such Subsidiary party to such Action and their respective counsels in respect of such Action; provided, that any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by the Shareholder Representative in furtherance thereof shall be deemed Pre-Closing Specified Litigation Expenses for purposes of allocation of any Specified Litigation Amount. At the request of the Shareholder Representative, the Shareholder Representative shall be entitled to designate one or more representatives (which may include outside counsel) to be present at, and to participate in, all negotiation strategies, settlement conferences, depositions, motion practice and hearings with respect to such Action. The Shareholder Representative shall not refuse to enter into a mutually acceptable commercially reasonable joint defense or common interest agreement that respects the allocation of responsibility to the Parties set forth in this Section 7.13 to preserve applicable legal privileges and confidential communications.

(b) The Shareholder Representative shall be entitled to share in the Specified Litigation Amount as follows to the extent a receivable of the Surviving Company:

(i) The Shareholder Representative, on the one hand, and the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries, party to the Specified Litigation, on the other hand, shall each recover from the Specified Litigation Amount (A) in the case of the Shareholder Representative, the Pre-Closing Specified Litigation Expenses and (B) in the case of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries, party thereto, the Post-Closing Specified Litigation Expenses. In the event the Specified Litigation Amount is not sufficient to provide full recovery of all Specified Litigation Expenses, then the Parties shall each recover their pro-rata share of the Specified Litigation Expenses. For purposes of this allocation, pro-rata share shall be, (Y) for the Shareholder Representative, the quotient (expressed as a percentage), determined by dividing the Pre-Closing Specified Litigation Expenses by the Specified Litigation Expenses and (Z) for the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries, the quotient (expressed as a percentage), determined by dividing the Post-Closing Specified Litigation Expenses by the Specified Litigation Expenses.

(ii) The remaining portion of the Specified Litigation Amount, net of the Specified Litigation Expenses allocated pursuant to Section 7.13(b)(i), if any, shall be allocated 75% to the Shareholder Representative and 25% to the Surviving Company and its Company Subsidiaries, party to the Specified Litigation.

104

(iii) The Buyer shall cause the Surviving Company or the applicable Subsidiary, party to the Specified Litigation, to remit the portion of the Specified Litigation Amount that the Shareholder Representative is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 7.13(b)(i) and 7.13(b)(ii), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account or bank accounts designated in writing by the Shareholder Representative on not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent (and only to the extent) that such amounts were previously taken into account as Current Assets in the Working Capital portion of the Merger Consideration, Buyer will be entitled to 100% of any amounts included in such Current Assets in respect of the Specified Litigation (including the receivable amounts disclosed on Section 5.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules) and, for the avoidance of doubt, such amounts will not constitute (or otherwise be considered) part of the Specified Litigation Amount for purposes of the foregoing allocation (or otherwise).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent the Specified Litigation Amount is payable by Buyer, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, such amount shall be paid from the Buyer Adjustment Holdback Amount (any such amount for which the Buyer, the Surviving Company or any of its Subsidiaries is ultimately deemed liable or otherwise responsible, the “Specified Litigation Counterclaim Payment”).

7.14 Pre-Closing Transaction Documents.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to execute and deliver the Pre-Closing Transaction Documents and such other documents as may be required to consummate the Pre-Closing Transactions, in each case, in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall not (nor any of its Affiliates) terminate or assign any Pre-Closing Transaction Document, amend or otherwise modify any provision of any Pre-Closing Transaction Document or any Exhibit, Annex or Schedule thereto, or waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in a Pre-Closing Transaction Document, in each case, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Buyer. The Company shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed of the status of the Pre-Closing Transactions.

(c) The Company shall provide the Buyer and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review the drafts of the Pre-Closing Transaction Documents in advance of the consummation of the Pre-Closing Transactions and consider in good faith any comments reasonably proposed by the Buyer and its counsel.

105

(d) The Shareholder Representative agrees that it will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company, New Holdco, New Holdco Merger Sub, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates (including the Shareholder Representative) associated with any Pre-Closing Transactions, including professional fees and expenses and Taxes, and shall indemnify and save harmless the Buyer and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, Taxes, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of any such Pre-Closing Transactions, except to the extent such losses, damages, claims, Taxes, costs or expenses arose from the bad faith or willful misconduct of the Buyer or its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives.

7.15 Anti-Takeover Laws. The Company and the Company Board (and any committee empowered to take such action, if applicable) shall (a) take all actions within their power to ensure that no “fair price,” “business combination,” “moratorium” or “control share acquisition” statute or other similar statute or regulation (collectively, “Anti-Takeover Laws”) is or becomes applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) if any Anti-Takeover Law becomes applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, take all action within their power to ensure that the Merger may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.16 Minimum Cash Amount. As of the Closing Date, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall have cash and cash equivalents in such accounts, free and clear of all Encumbrances, in an aggregate amount not less than the sum of: (a) $25,000,000 and (b) the aggregate amount of all issued and outstanding checks on the Closing Date (such sum being the “Minimum Cash Amount”).

7.17 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. As partial consideration for payment of the Merger Consideration and as an inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each Designated Company Shareholder, for purposes of agreeing to be bound by the obligations set forth in this Section 7.17 (each of whom acknowledges and agrees, represents and warrants to the Buyer that he or she benefits (directly or indirectly) in a material respect from this Agreement and the Merger) (each such individual, a “Non-Compete Party”), agrees to the following covenants from and after the Closing:

The term “Trade Secrets” shall not include an item of information that is or becomes available to the industry (e.g., available in the technical literature, databases or the like) or is in, or subsequently enters, the public domain other than as a result of a disclosure by or on behalf of a Non-Compete Party or any Affiliate that is Controlled by a Non-Compete Party or any combination thereof.

(b) Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, following the Closing, New Holdco, each Designated Company Shareholder and their respective Affiliates shall be able to use or disclose Confidential Information to comply with such Persons obligations or enforce such Persons rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which such Person is a Party.

107

(c) Noncompetition

(i) The Non-Compete Parties hereby acknowledge that the Company conducts the Business throughout the Territory. The Non-Compete Parties acknowledge that to protect adequately the interest of Buyer in the Company, it is essential that any non-compete covenant with respect thereto cover the Business in its entirety and the entire Territory.

(ii) The Non-Compete Parties hereby agree that they shall not, and shall not permit any of their Controlled Affiliates to, during the Non-Compete Period, in any manner, directly or indirectly or by assisting others, engage in, prepare to engage in, have an equity or profit interest in, or render services (including of an executive, marketing, manufacturing, research and development, administrative, financial or consulting nature) to any Competing Business, in each case, anywhere in the Territory.

(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing restrictions, the Non-Compete Parties hereby further agree that, during the Non-Compete Period, they shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Controlled Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, alone or as a partner, joint venturer, officer, director, shareholder, employee, consultant, agent or independent contractor of, or lender to, any Person or business, (A) create or maintain any business relationship with any customer of the Company (including the provision of any Business to or for any such customer), or otherwise solicit or attempt to solicit any customer of the Company, in each case for the benefit of any Competing Business or (B) request, advise or induce any customer of the Company to withdraw, curtail or cancel, or engage in any other activity that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, the business relationship such Person has with the Company;

(d) Nonsolicitation. The Non-Compete Parties hereby agree that they shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Controlled Affiliates to, during the Non-Compete Period, in any manner, directly or indirectly or by assisting others, recruit or hire away or attempt to recruit or hire away, on their behalf or on behalf of any other Person, any employee or independent contractor of the Company or any individual that was an employee or independent contractor of the Company within one (1) year prior to such solicitation; provided, however, that such solicitation (as opposed to hire) restrictions shall not prohibit any solicitation by way of general advertising, including general solicitations in newspapers or other publications or on internet sites that are not directed toward or focused on employees or independent contractors (or such former employees or independent contractors) of the Surviving Company or any of its Affiliates.

108

(e) Severability; Judicial Modification. If a judicial or arbitral determination is made that any of the provisions of this Section 7.17 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against any of the Non-Compete Parties, the Parties agree and desire for such court or arbitrator to modify, or amend such provisions only to the extent necessary to render such provision reasonable and enforce such restriction as so modified. If a judicial or arbitral determination is made that any of the provisions of this Section 7.17 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against any of the Non-Compete Parties and is incapable of being judicially modified, such provisions shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The time period during which the prohibitions set forth in this Section 7.17 shall apply shall be tolled and extended for a period equal to the aggregate time during which any one or more of the Non-Compete Parties violates such prohibitions in any respect and during any litigation to enforce such prohibitions.

(f) Injunctive Relief. The Non-Compete Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Company and Buyer against any actual or threatened breach of the provisions contained in this Section 7.17 by any Non-Compete Party, and that any such breach may cause irreparable harm, and, as such, the Non-Compete Parties further agree that Buyer shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief without making proof of actual damages. Such injunctive relief shall not be deemed exclusive remedies for any such breach, but shall be in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies otherwise available to Buyer. The Non-Compete Parties agree that, in connection with any injunctive relief sought by Buyer, any and all requirements for proof of actual damages or bonding are hereby waived. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any legal proceeding (whether at law or in equity) relating to Section 7.17 of this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a Party or Non-Compete Party has breached Section 7.17 of this Agreement, then that Party or Non-Compete Party shall be liable and pay to the non-breaching Party any costs in connection with such proceeding and any appeal therefrom, including reasonable legal fees, and such non-breaching Party shall be entitled to pursue the recovery of all damages, losses and liabilities related to such breach of the provisions of this Section 7.17.

(g) Reasonable Restraint. It is agreed by the Parties and Non-Compete Parties that the foregoing covenants in this Section 7.17: (i) are necessary in terms of time, activity and territory to protect the interests of Buyer in the assets and business being acquired pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and impose a reasonable restraint on the Non-Compete Parties in light of the activities and business of the Company on the date of this Agreement and the current plans of the Company; and (ii) are individually enforceable obligations against the Non-Compete Party(ies) that are in breach or violation thereof, and no Action may be brought, recourse sought, and no Losses recoverable from any Non-Compete Party who is not alleged to be in breach thereof.

109

HEDGING TRANSACTIONS MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED WITH RESPECT TO THESE SECURITIES UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

New Holdco and each Designated Company Shareholder consents to Buyer making a notation on its records or giving stop transfer or other instructions to the Transfer Agent in order to implement the restrictions on transfer of the shares of Buyer Common Stock set forth in this Article 7.

117

in this Section 10.5 is not a penalty, but, in each case, is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Buyer and Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, in the circumstances in which such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, subject to Section 10.5(d)(ii) and the first sentence of this Section 10.5(f), nothing in this Agreement shall limit the Company’s remedies in the case of Fraud.

Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is void.

12.8 No Recourse.

(a) Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, except as set forth in the following sentence, all rights, claims and causes of action (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law or in equity) arising from this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither this Section 12.8 nor anything else in this Agreement to the contrary will (y) limit the survival of any covenant or agreement of the Parties which expressly survives the Closing pursuant to Article 11, which covenants or agreements shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms, or (z) prejudice or otherwise limit any such rights, claims or causes of action of Buyer or Merger Sub (1) in respect of Fraud, (2) under the Ancillary Agreements or (3) under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(b) This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action for breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the entities that are expressly identified herein as Parties. For purposes of the foregoing, a Designated Company Shareholder is deemed to be a “Party” solely for purposes of the Designated Provisions. Except to the extent they are Parties (and, solely in their capacities as such) or for instances of Fraud: (y) none of (i) the Designated Company Shareholders, (ii) any Affiliate of the Designated Company Shareholders (including the Shareholder Representative) or (iii) any respective former,

122

current and future Representatives, successors or assigns of any other Person referenced in clause (i) or (ii) that is not a Party to this Agreement (the Persons referenced in this clause (y) herein collectively, the “Shareholders’ Related Parties”) shall have any liability for any liabilities or obligations of the Parties for any Action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith; and (z) none of the Buyer, Merger Sub, or after the Closing the Surviving Company or the Subsidiaries of the Surviving Company, shall have any right of recovery in respect thereof against any Shareholders’ Related Party and no personal liability shall attach to any Shareholders’ Related Party through the Company or any Company Subsidiary (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company and the Subsidiaries of the Surviving Company), the Shareholder Representative or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 12.8(b) are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by the Shareholders’ Related Parties and each such Person shall be a third-Party beneficiary of this Section 12.8(b). This Section 12.8(b) shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (including following the Closing, the Surviving Company and the Subsidiaries of the Surviving Company). No Company Shareholder nor any Designated Company Shareholder shall have any liability under this Agreement resulting from Fraud unless an Action with respect thereto is commenced by Buyer within three (3) years after the Closing. The aggregate amount of Losses for which any Company Shareholder or any Designated Company Shareholder shall be liable on account of Fraud shall not exceed such Company Shareholder’s or Designated Company Shareholder’s Pro Rata Portion of such Losses recoverable by Buyer hereunder from such Action seeking recovery for Fraud and in no event shall the aggregate amount of all such Losses from such Actions exceed, as to each Company Shareholder or Designated Company Shareholder, such Company Shareholder’s or Designated Company Shareholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Merger Consideration (and, in the case of the Designated Company Shareholders, to the extent actually received by such Designated Company Shareholder hereunder).

(c) Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, except in respect of Fraud, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action for breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the entities that are expressly identified herein as Parties, and no Affiliate of the Buyer, Merger Sub or any of the Buyer’s, Merger Sub’s or their Affiliates’ respective former, current and future Representatives, successors or assigns that is not a Party to this Agreement (collectively, the “Buyer Related Parties”) shall have any liability for any liabilities or obligations of the Parties for any Action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith; and none of the Shareholder Representative, the Designated Company Shareholders, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or other Shareholders’ Related Party shall have any right of recovery in respect thereof against any Buyer Related Party and no personal liability shall attach to any Buyer Related Party through Buyer, Merger Sub or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 12.8(c) are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by the Buyer Related Parties and each such Person shall be a third-Party beneficiary of this Section 12.8(c). This Section 12.8(c) shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Shareholder Representative, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries.

123

12.9 No Third-Party Beneficiary. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights, remedies or claims to any Person or entity not a Party (solely to the extent they are Parties) or a permitted assignee of a Party to this Agreement, (y) except for (a) the current and former officers, directors and employees of the Company as set forth in Section 7.8, (b) Moss & Barnett as set forth in Section 7.9, and the Shareholders’ Related Parties, the Buyer Related Parties and the Surviving Company Released Parties as set forth in Sections 7.11, 12.8, 12.11 and 12.12, as applicable. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with Section 12.2, without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties. Consequently, Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sections 10.2, 10.5(d), 12.2, 12.8, 12.13(b), 12.13(d), 12.18 and this Section 12.9 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of such Sections) may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner that is adverse in any respect to the Debt Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources.

12.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed an original of this Agreement. Facsimile signatures or signatures received as a pdf attachment to electronic mail shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement.

12.11 Buyer Release. Effective from and after the Closing, without prejudice to the rights and remedies the Buyer and Merger Sub may have under the R&W Insurance Policy and except for (x) claims based on Fraud, (y) covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement which contemplate performance after the Closing or otherwise expressly by their terms survive the Closing, each of which will survive in accordance with its terms and (z) the Ancillary Agreements:

(a) The Buyer hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases, indemnifies and discharges, and the Buyer shall cause each of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) (the “Buyer Releasors”) to absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably release, indemnify and discharge the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders’ Related Parties, from any and all claims, demands, rights, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, Losses and causes of action of any kind and nature whatsoever, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that any Buyer Releasor or any Person claiming through or under a Buyer Releasor ever had or now has or hereafter can, shall or may have arising out of, or relating to, the organization, management or operation of the businesses of the Company or any Company Subsidiary relating to any matter, occurrence, action or activity prior to the Closing Date.

124

(b) Each Buyer Releasor is aware that it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the release provided for in this Section 12.11; however, it is the intention of each Buyer Releasor that such release shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfactory release of each and every matter specifically or generally referred to in this Section 12.11, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Section 12.11. In furtherance of this intention, each Buyer Releasor expressly waives and relinquishes any and all claims, rights or benefits that it may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”) and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction, which provides as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, AND THAT IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASING PARTY.”

Each Buyer Releasor acknowledges that Section 1542, and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction, if they exist, are designed to protect a Party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, each Buyer Releasor agrees that the waiver of Section 1542 and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction is a material portion of the releases intended by this Section 12.11, and it therefore intends to waive all protection provided by Section 1542 and any other similar provision in any other jurisdiction. EACH BUYER RELEASOR FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS AWARE THAT IT MAY HEREAFTER DISCOVER CLAIMS OR FACTS IN ADDITION TO OR DIFFERENT FROM THOSE IT NOW KNOWS OR BELIEVES TO BE TRUE WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS RELEASED HEREIN. NEVERTHELESS, IT INTENDS TO FULLY, FINALLY AND FOREVER RELEASE ALL SUCH MATTERS, AND ALL CLAIMS RELATIVE THERETO, WHICH DO NOW EXIST, MAY EXIST, OR HERETOFORE HAVE EXISTED BETWEEN SUCH PARTY, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE AND THE SHAREHOLDERS’ RELATED PARTY UNDER THIS SECTION 12.11, ON THE OTHER HAND. IN FURTHERANCE OF SUCH INTENTION, THE RELEASES GIVEN HEREIN SHALL BE AND REMAIN IN EFFECT AS FULL AND COMPLETE GENERAL RELEASES OF ALL SUCH MATTERS, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DISCOVERY OR EXISTENCE OF ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT CLAIMS OR FACTS RELATIVE THERETO.

125

12.12 Shareholder Representative Release.

(a) Effective from and after the Closing and except for (i) any rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to the documents set forth in Section 7.8, (ii) covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement which contemplate performance after the Closing or otherwise expressly by their terms survive the Closing, each of which will survive in accordance with its terms, and (iii) the Ancillary Agreements, the Shareholder Representative hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases, indemnifies and discharges individually and on behalf of each of the Designated Company Shareholders and the other Shareholders’ Related Parties (herein the “Shareholder Representative’s Releasors”) to absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably release, indemnify and discharge, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Company and each Subsidiary of the Surviving Company) and their respective former, current and future Representatives, successors or assigns that is not a Party to this Agreement (collectively, the “Surviving Company Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, rights, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, Losses and causes of action of any kind and nature whatsoever, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that the Shareholder Representative’s Releasors or any Person claiming through or under the Shareholder Representative’s Releasors ever had or now has or hereafter can, shall or may have arising out of, or relating to, the organization, management or operation of the businesses of the Buyer relating to any matter, occurrence, action or activity prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Effective from and after the Closing and except for (i) any rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to the documents set forth in Section 7.8, (ii) covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement which contemplate performance after the Closing or otherwise expressly by their terms survive the Closing, each of which will survive in accordance with its terms, and (iii) the Ancillary Agreements, the Shareholder Representative is aware that it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the release provided for in this Section 12.12; however, it is the intention of the Shareholder Representative individually and on behalf of the Shareholder Representative’s Releasors that such release shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfactory release of each and every matter specifically or generally referred to in this Section 12.12, in each case except as otherwise set forth in such Section. In furtherance of this intention, the Shareholder Representative, individually and on behalf of the Shareholder Representative’s Releasors, expressly waives and relinquishes any and all claims, rights or benefits that it may have under Section 1542, and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction, which provides as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, AND THAT IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASING PARTY.”

Shareholder Representative individually, and on behalf of each Shareholder Representative’s Releasor acknowledges that Section 1542, and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction, if they exist, are designed to protect a Party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, Shareholder Representative, individually and on behalf of each Shareholder Representative’s Releasor, agrees that the

126

waiver of Section 1542 and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction is a material portion of the releases intended by Section 12.8 or this Section 12.12, and it therefore intends to waive all protection provided by Section 1542 and any other similar provision in any other jurisdiction. SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF EACH SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE’S RELEASOR FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT/THEY IS/ARE AWARE THAT IT/THEY MAY HEREAFTER DISCOVER CLAIMS OR FACTS IN ADDITION TO OR DIFFERENT FROM THOSE IT/THEY NOW KNOWS OR BELIEVES TO BE TRUE WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS RELEASED HEREIN. NEVERTHELESS, SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF EACH SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE’S RELEASOR INTENDS TO FULLY, FINALLY AND FOREVER RELEASE ALL SUCH MATTERS, AND ALL CLAIMS RELATIVE THERETO, WHICH DO NOW EXIST, MAY EXIST, OR HERETOFORE HAVE EXISTED BETWEEN SUCH PARTY, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE BUYER RELATED PARTY UNDER THIS SECTION 12.12, ON THE OTHER HAND. IN FURTHERANCE OF SUCH INTENTION, THE RELEASES GIVEN HEREIN SHALL BE AND REMAIN IN EFFECT AS FULL AND COMPLETE GENERAL RELEASES OF ALL SUCH MATTERS, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DISCOVERY OR EXISTENCE OF ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT CLAIMS OR FACTS RELATIVE THERETO.

12.13 GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

(a) EXCEPT AS TO MATTERS OF MERGER LAW AFFECTING THE COMPANY AND THE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES AS THE SAME RELATES TO THE CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUBMITTED TO THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.5(c) OR SECTION 3.6, THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR, TO THE EXTENT SUCH COURT DECLINES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION OVER A PARTICULAR MATTER, ANY OTHER DELAWARE STATE COURT OR FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE SOLELY IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND OF THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING FOR THE INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR OF ANY SUCH DOCUMENT, THAT IT IS NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN

127

SUCH COURTS OR THAT SUCH COURTS ARE AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, OR THAT THE VENUE OF SUCH COURTS MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH A DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY, DELAWARE STATE COURT OR FEDERAL COURT. THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO AND GRANT ANY SUCH COURT JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF SUCH PARTIES AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH DISPUTE AND AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.5 SHALL BE VALID, EFFECTIVE AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF.

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE DEBT FINANCING OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.13.

(c) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, each Party agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement (including the obligation of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the obligation of Buyer and Merger Sub to pay and the Company Shareholder’s right to receive the aggregate consideration payable to them pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement), the non-breaching Party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether at law or in equity, including monetary damages) to (i) an Order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (ii) an Order restraining such breach or threatened breach. In the event that any action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party

128

shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law, or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Each Party further agrees that no other Party shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 12.13, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

12.14 Obligations of Buyer and Shareholder Representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary:

(a) Whenever this Agreement requires Merger Sub to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Buyer to cause Merger Sub to take such action. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer hereby guarantees the due, prompt and faithful payment, performance and discharge by Merger Sub of, and the compliance by Merger Sub with, all of the covenants, agreements, obligations and undertakings of Merger Sub under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and covenants and agrees to take all actions necessary or advisable to ensure such payment, performance and discharge by Merger Sub hereunder.

(b) Whenever this Agreement requires the Company (prior to the Effective Time), New Holdco or New Holdco Merger Sub, as applicable, to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Shareholder Representative to cause the Company (prior to the Effective Time), New Holdco or New Holdco Merger Sub, as applicable, to take such action. In furtherance of the foregoing, the

129

Shareholder Representative hereby guarantees the due, prompt and faithful payment, performance and discharge by the Company (prior to the Effective Time), New Holdco and New Holdco Merger Sub of, and the compliance by New Holdco and New Holdco Merger Sub, with, all of the covenants, agreements, obligations and undertakings of the Company (prior to the Effective Time), New Holdco or New Holdco Merger Sub, as applicable, under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and covenants and agrees to take all actions necessary or advisable to ensure such payment, performance and discharge by the Company (prior to the Effective Time), New Holdco or New Holdco Merger Sub, as applicable, hereunder.

12.15 Severability. If any term, provision, agreement, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party hereto. Upon such a determination, the Parties 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 reasonably acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

12.16 Conveyance Taxes. All sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, excise, real property transfer or gains, or similar Taxes incurred as a result of the Merger, but excluding for the avoidance of doubt the Pre-Closing Transactions and the Conversion (“Transfer Taxes”), shall be borne by Buyer. The Party required by Law shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns or other documentation relating to such Transfer Taxes and the non-preparing party shall cooperate as reasonably requested in the preparation and filing of any such Tax Returns. The Shareholder Representative and the Buyer shall jointly file all required change of ownership and similar statements.

12.17 Interpretation. The Parties have participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption of burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening either Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision in this Agreement.

12.18 Limitation on Liability of Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, each Company Related Party agrees that none of the Debt Financing Sources shall have any liability or obligation to any Company Related Party relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein (including the Debt Financing).
