Agreements

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time Company shall merge with and into Merger Sub, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, and Company shall be the surviving company in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”).

1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at the offices of Haynes and Boone, LLP, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, 26^th Floor, New York, New York, 10112 on a date to be specified by the parties, which date shall be no later than the third Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), but in any event no later than January 31, 2019, unless another time, place or date, or any or all, are agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The date on which the Closing is held is herein referred to as the “Closing Date”.

1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date the parties shall file a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”), executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL in order to effect the Merger, in each case in forms approved by Parent and Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger or at such other time as is agreed by the parties hereto and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time at which the Merger becomes effective is herein referred to as the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Effects of the Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, duties and liabilities of Merger Sub and Company shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Merger shall not confer any right to use the name “Pioneer Critical Power,” which name shall remain the property of Pioneer and its Affiliates (including the right to trademark such name). Parent shall, within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, change the name of the Company to a name that does not belong to Pioneer or its Affiliates.

1.5 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Company. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Company shall be applicable to the Surviving Company until thereafter amended as provided by law and such certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

1.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Company. From and after the Effective Time, the directors and officers of the Surviving Company shall be the persons who were directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, respectively. These directors and officers of the Surviving Company shall hold office for the term specified in, and subject to the provisions contained in, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company and applicable law.

1.7 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any securities of Merger Sub or Company:

(a) The issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time shall be converted into and become the Merger Consideration.

(b) Any shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by Company as treasury stock shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Company, which shall represent all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Surviving Company immediately following the Effective Time.

1.8 Status of Certificates.

(a) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of shares of Company Common Stock shall be paid upon the surrender or exchange of stock certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock (collectively, the “Certificates”) in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 and shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of Company, except for the cancellation of such shares in connection with the Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates that evidenced ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, bona fide Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 1.

1.9 Parent Common Stock. The shares of Parent Common Stock and the Warrants issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and may not be re-offered or resold other than in conformity with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other applicable rules and regulations or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. Until the resale by the holder of Company Capital Stock of its shares of Parent Common Stock and Warrants has become registered under the Securities Act, or otherwise transferable pursuant to an exemption from such registration otherwise required thereunder, the shares of Parent Common Stock and Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and, if certificated, shall bear the following legend (or if held in book entry form, will be noted with a similar restriction):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY, AND THE RESALE OF SUCH SECURITIES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”

Parent agrees to cooperate in a timely manner with the holders of the Merger Consideration to remove any restrictive legends or similar transfer instructions from the Merger Consideration upon the registration of the Merger Consideration or in the event that the Merger Consideration is otherwise transferable pursuant to an exemption from registration otherwise required thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent has no obligation to register the Merger Consideration with the SEC.

1.10 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary, desirable or proper to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company and Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and its proper officers and directors or their designees are fully authorized (to the fullest extent allowed under applicable Laws) to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either Company or Merger Sub, all deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and do, in the name and on behalf of Company or Merger Sub, all other acts and things necessary, desirable or proper to vest, perfect or confirm its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of Company or Merger Sub, as applicable, and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

1.11 Tax Consequences. For United States federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties to this Agreement hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) of the Treasury Regulations, and intend to report consistently with the foregoing, including by filing the statement required by Section 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations.
